“It had been over 10 years since I ate at Dos Primos. I had stopped eating there for many reasons..poor customer service..cold and disgusting food....the atmosphere was not people friendly.

However, 10 years later, we decided to try the mexican restaurant again. My oh my, I am glad we have. Their food there is phenomenal. So much so, my husband has had their fajita nachos 3 nights in a row, (he likes them that much). I have had not only their fajita nachos, but I have had their soft tacos, burritos and also their quesadillas. I have no complaints about their food now days. If you like Mexican and you like eating it on a small town...go get you some Dos Primos.”

“We found this place during a drive trying to find a bridge across the river that doesn't exist. We quickly realized it's a really rad joint. Kristen is amazing! The food and drinks are great. We come all the way from St Charles just to hang out.”

“Wonderful food! Great people!”

“Awesome place to hang and shoot pool with friends and family”

“Just had lunch there. I was able to get my favorite breakfast sandwich...bacon, egg and cheese on croissant. LOTS of bacon compared to fast food places! 😋 The staff was nice and friendly. The food was out in a timely manner even though a number of people came in for lunch right after I ordered. I'll be back! ☺️”

“We stopped in today for the first time. It was after the dinner rush close to closing. The staff was very friendly. We had the pork chops family style and the catfish fritter dinner. Both were delicious and arrived in a reasonable time. The staff checked on us frequently and made sure we were taken care of. Great comfort food. It was exactly what we were expecting. I grew up going to the original location when I lived in jerseyville, and the new location does a good job of carrying the same vibes. The menu has lots of choices and the prices are very reasonable. Great job bringing it back, and I’ll definitely be back when I am back in the area. Almost forgot to mention the new location is great for river and bridge views. Lucky to have barges passing by and watching the bridge being raised and lowered.”

“This place really surprised me! I was not at all expecting good Chinese food in Winfield! Hands down in my top two favorite Chinese restaurants. I highly recommend the house lo mein if you go!!”

“I eat here almost every day, Love the location,Love the food, I love that the employees are friendly And that they acknowledge you as soon as you walk in the door, I especially love that they are very quick and they do not make you wait,”

“We love Marquette Lodge. We go there a few times a year and adore the features such as the great room, cozy fireplace, and beautiful views. Unfortunately we’ve noticed some real negatives over the last few stays. The most recent was the worst. We came to dinner in the dining room and were seated by the hostess. After asking about drinks, we told by the hostess that there was no drink menu. Since we’d seen the menus before, we left our table and went up to the counter to retrieved some ourselves. Service was slow despite the fact there were only 6 other tables of guests. We immediately noticed that both the hostess and waitress seemed annoyed and inconvenienced, as they were very short and rude. We overheard the people at the next table saying the same thing. We ordered 2 meals including one burger, asking for no cheese. When it came out with cheese, we politely asked if we could have it replaced with a hamburger vs. a cheeseburger and were told by our waitress Malissa, “Can’t you just scrape it off?”. We politely said yes. We later asked for some mustard (asked both the waitress and hostess) and after 10 minutes of watching them either seated at a table or lingering behind the back bar, we once again went up to the front to find the condiments for ourselves. The next day, I was part of a stained glass class at the lodge which was absolutely lovely & enjoyable. For lunch were given vouchers and all dined together at a large, pre-reserved table in the dining room (there were about 10-12 of us). The food and service this time were both pretty good, thanks to a different set of staff. However, my classmates began sharing their disappointments of the dining experiences from they days before, saying that as soon as they walked into the restaurant the previous night, they felt unwelcome. They said they felt guilty for even being there, and at several points had to get up and retrieve their own menus, silverware, and condiments from behind the counter. It was as if all of us had the same experience with the same staff that weekend. Two of the women I met showed photos of the dirty bed linens they discovered when turning down their beds late after arrival on their first nights. One found a dirty black sock with a soiled fitted sheet in her cabin. Another said her lodge room sheets were full of hair when she arrived. All were told by the front desk that the lodge was full and they would have to stay in their respective rooms and nothing else could be done. My boyfriend and I noticed upon check-in to our rooms the first night that the thermostat was broken (it was 24 degrees outside and 58 degrees in the room). The TV remote wasn’t working right (the keys were all sticking) and we needed a pillowcase for one of the pillows. While we were first told that there may not be any fixing for the remote or additional linens to provide due to the lodge being full, they did eventually send a young man up to fix the thermostat, “jimmy” the remote, and give us a pillowcase. We were looking forward to spending time in the hot tub and suana especially on this trip, as during last year’s winter staycation the sauna wasn’t working. There was a leak/detachment in the hot tub liner at that time too. We were really disappointed to discover that, a year plus later, the sauna was still inoperable and the hot tub once again had a faulty liner. We love Marquette Park and Lodge. We ignore most of the grumblings about the place falling outdated, the bad service, and disrepair. In the past, we never come expecting the Ritz but this time we were so incredibly disappointed all-around. The property is such a treasure; it saddened us all to experience the apathetic staff and to see no real signs of motivation to maintain let alone improve the current facility. I know it’s a state park but we all hope someday someone somewhere can come in and reinvigorate the place. It really wouldn’t take much, as it’s beauty speaks for itself. None of us are expecting a 5 star resort, but some basic manners & sanitary, functioni”
