Restaurants in Belleville

“Highly recommend. No where else in Belleville has such knowledgeable staff regarding wine and cocktails, and friendly service :) They also have awesome cheese and meat boards that are very customizable, as well as creative cocktails and apps! Love Grafted!”

“My husband and I stopped in during the Pride event just looking for the first place we found with food, and not only was the music and atmosphere super cool, we got the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and I swear, it was THE BEST pizza 👏🏻 I’ve 👏🏻 ever 👏🏻 had. The service was great, the food was affordable. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Went looking for a Rally's while visiting from out of town. 😆 What can I say, this was a win all around. The chips, seasoning, and Brussels sprouts were everything perfect to complement the amazing flavor of BBQ. Staff were kind and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. Can't wait to be back!”

“Big whiskey drinker. All I can say is holy crap best Old Fashion around. Super super great and friendly bartender.”

“Hello if you have a problem with Jesse’s that your opinion don’t tell customers to look else and the customer service is fantastic there if it was a problem with the phones things happen Sorry”

“Some lunches just show up…
and some take over the whole afternoon in the best possible way.

This was the latter.

We grabbed a table on the patio, soaked in that sun-drenched Belleville afternoon, and from the jump—it just felt right. Warm light, easy energy, that perfect mix of relaxed and lively where you instantly settle in and stay a little longer than planned.

And then the food hit.

The shrimp pizza? A total standout. Bold, creative, and perfectly balanced—one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite because you weren’t expecting it to be that good.

Then came the crunchy grouper… and wow. Crispy, golden, layered with flavor, and finished with just enough sweetness to elevate the whole thing. It’s the kind of dish that makes you rethink what you order next time… because now you want it again.

Now let’s talk drinks—because details matter.
The gin and tonic was spot on. Clean, crisp, beautifully balanced.

And here’s the twist—I didn’t even ask what tonic they used (which, if you know me, is borderline shocking). I trusted our waitress… and she absolutely delivered.

Speaking of her—she was fantastic. Warm, attentive, effortless. The kind of service that doesn’t interrupt the moment, it enhances it.

☀️ Final Take

Great patio. Great food. Great energy.

This wasn’t just lunch—it was one of those “let’s sit here a little longer” kind of afternoons. And honestly, that’s the magic.

Tavern On Main gets it right.”

“Phenomenal Experience! The staff was very tentative and supportive when it came to my pregnant wife’s needs. The smoked meat will leave you quite satisfied. Highly recommend! The owner is highly respectful, very experienced in the hospitality service industry. Go order yourself a signature cocktail and variety of smoked meat entrees and take in the atmosphere. Will most definitely be coming back!”

“We came in for pasta night. Everything was fresh, MORE than enough food, a dessert was included and the atmosphere was top notch. We aren't drinkers so I can't speak to the taste of the cocktails but the glasses that passed our table were beautifully done, you can tell there is a lot of pride and skill that goes into the drink menu. We were greeted warmly by friendly faces and genuine smiles, the music was just the right level, I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. We will definitely be returning!”

“SLOTS SLOTS ...CLEAN ...”

“Amazing Local Vendors, something for everyone. My favorite Downtown Belleville Shop”

“The staff is absolutley amazing! Kind, courtious, professional, and so very helpful. Great atmosphere and ambiance. My only recomendation is a better selection for dining. Thank you all!🥖🍷🍇”

“One of the biggest changes we’ve made as a family this year is being more intentional about what we’re putting into our bodies. My wife and I committed to getting healthy and staying healthy, but honestly didn’t know where to start with meal prep that we’d both actually enjoy eating. We turned to Busy Body Meals because of the variety, and the food is just flat out good. Small changes over time add up. This one’s been a good one for our family.”

“Travelled from New Jersey for a wedding in Belleville. We knew we wanted to try a local coffee shop while we were in town so we stopped into Longstory Coffee for it's great reviews and unique location in a renovated 1800's train depot. The atmosphere was incredible and the coffee was better. I ordered a pour over that was exceptional and my husband ordered the mocha. It was one of the best he's had. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Illinois. It was very reminiscent of the coffee we get over at the farmers market in New Jersey. Also, Carla B's BBQ Breakfast Burrito is the best thing I've ever had for brunch. Thanks for having us!”

“Absolutely delicious! You can taste the freshness in everything. My new favorite lunch spot!”

“This place has some of the best boba I’ve had. The drinks taste fresh and balanced, and they are not overly sweet. The tapioca pearls are soft and chewy, which makes the drink even better. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, even when it gets busy. The shop is clean and has a nice, relaxed vibe. You can really tell the owner takes pride in the store and cares about the quality and customer experience. My favorite drink here is the green tea mango boba. It’s refreshing and full of flavor. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you like fruity drinks. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Hands-down, the best coffee shop around. The owner and baristas are terrific. My go to is an iced pistachio latte or an iced pistachio matcha.”

“Ordered turkey white bean chili, bbq sand on brioche (both daily specials), rosemary jalapeño fries, breakfast burrito to share. I sampled all and absolutely delish! Each item tasted extraordinary. I love this place because everything I order is made with carefully crafted flavors and texture—down to the salsa served on the side of burrito. It was homemade and fresh—not jarred. Burrito stuffed with eggs, chorizo, bacon, and more—ordered mine without potato. Smoky, not too spicy—YUM! BBQ was tender and tasty but chunky and not stringy—how delightful! Fries are always great and I must order every time I go. Chili had nice chunks of succulent turkey—you could see and taste the turkey. This place never disappoints and gets better every time I go.”

“Bennie’s Pizza Pub is one of my go-to spots in downtown Belleville. The pizza is always amazing (the kind you’re still thinking about the next day), and being open until 2 AM on weekends makes it perfect for late-night cravings.

The atmosphere is great too—especially with live music and a fun, laid-back vibe.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or hanging out for the night, Bennie’s never disappoints.”

“Was looking for the best ice cream spot in Belleville and white cottage was suggested. Definitely didnt disappoint! Hands down one of the best ice cream spots ive been to. Friendly staff too 🫶”

“After trying another local breakfast diner a few weeks ago, we decided to give this place a try since we live right around the corner. We were greeted upon walking in and the vibe just felt more welcoming than the other place. Our server was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Definitely coming back here from now on because they have turkey sausage to sub for pork for those who don't eat pork like my husband.”

“Awesome local place! That always got a solid rotation of beers , there always something new to try when you go. Also got great mead and cider for those who don't enjoy beer. Great place to stop in and grab a couple beers during Downtown Belleville event!”

Casa Maria has been our go-to Mexican joint ever since we moved here 7 years ago and their new catering business tastes just as good! Thanks so much for such great service and quality food! ❤️”

“Ice cold drinks (seriously, one of their beverage coolers is 24F), amazing food, awesome bartenders who are ON IT, and always a friendly crowd!”

“Hands down the best burgers in the area!”

“I love this place! It off such a large variety of items, it never gwwets mundane. The fries stay hot, even after the journey home is complete. The traditional gyro is my favorite. But the Philly cheese, burgers, Greek salads, and chicken pitas are also awesome! Ya gotta' go!”

“Tempura Vegetables 5 stars Sweet Potato Sushi 5 stars Hibachi Vegetables- Huge serving. Very good. Vegetable Noodles- Very good Good service and prices. We will return!”

“I always order online. I've been getting the Pretty Pizza for the entire 5/6 years I've lived here. maybe in the past year, I've intermittently ordered a 1/2 PP and 1/2 BBQ. Somehow my order didn't come out right today. Is the app glitchy? Staff said the second half wasn't even selected, so THEY chose cheese pizza for me. not really happy. My number was available. Couldn't someone have CALLED me before making this? I'm taking a break from your establishment.”

“The Philly and the fried chips are 🤘🏼😛”

“Hosted a party and it was so fun. The food was amazing. Especially the chicken wings. Jeff and Christy are very accommodating. Tara is a great bartender. Highly recommend this venue”

“The place was rocking! It was the lunch rush, but they were able to get our food out quickly.
Have to give them a shout out, my wife has siliac disease, and they made sure she had a gluten free bun and it came in a separate bag just so that it wouldn't cross contaminate with my order.

Above and beyond!”

“Friendly service and excellent food. Will return again. 🩷”

“Friendly service, clean and decor is so cute.”

“When I moved here 6 yrs ago I feel in love with Fletcher's because it's the only place in the county to get good food past 9pm. Whether it's full menu or late night....delicious. Again tonight I find myself there to feed my family good quality food. The great customer service is icing on the cake. An underrated local gem.”

“Wife and I stopped by while doing our own little bar hop visiting Belleville. First 2 places we visited we weren't impressed with. Saw Demos while looking for other options. Walked in and immediately felt a very welcoming vibe! The bartender (Sam) was great, and she overheard we were hungry for a pizza. She came over and gave us several recommendations, and we ended up going with her personal favorite (Bennie's). Sam, it was really good!!! Thanks for helping out a couple of strangers!! We will be back!!”

“Aretha needs more recognition!! Came through drive thru during lunch. Aretha was happy, smiling and nice! I rarely get excellent customer service anymore. She went above and beyond. 😊”

“One of my wife and I’s go-to spots whenever we’re in the mood for Mexican food. Whether we’re dining in or grabbing carryout, the food is always exceptional and very well priced.

The staff is consistently friendly when we eat in—quick with drink refills and never letting the salsa run low. Speaking of salsa, their house salsa is a solid 10/10.

Even with carryout, they never disappoint—they always include a huge bag of tortilla chips and salsa. Highly recommend Las Amigos if you’re looking for great food and great service. 🌮🔥”

“As soon as you walk through the door, you know you have made a great decision for food conversation libations and fun. Felt welcomed from great people/staff immediately!

This Matteson, IL location will ALWAYS BE PRASED FOR THERE WONDERFUL, WELCOMING, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!! THANK-YOU!!!!***”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know what kind of wizardry Marcos Pizza is practicing, but this was the hottest, freshest pizza I’ve ever had delivered in my life. Not “oh it’s still warm” hot. I mean “did this pizza teleport straight from the oven into my hands?” hot. The cheese was still bubbling like it was alive. The crust had that perfect crisp-but-soft situation going on. Every bite tasted like it had just been introduced to heat five seconds ago. I half expected the delivery driver to be wearing oven mitts. 10/10. Will absolutely burn my mouth again. Worth it. 🍕🔥”

“Amazing Ice cream! Fast service, and customer service is great! Came here every summer/spring because of the fun atmosphere! (And the ice cream and people of course lol) Very much recommend! 😋”

“My husband I I ate breakfast at Main Street Cafe. My husband had a cheese omelette, home fries and English muffin. I had 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious. The cafe is old but clean, comfortable and the servers are attentive and friendly. We’ll be back!”

“The Dutch Hollow Barn is a Great hideaway location with an atmosphere of friendliness, good food and they have Karaoke Thursday Nights. Stop by and enjoy yourself too cheap prices and real people to talk to.You can take my word for itI'm Buc Bergin”

“I just started going to school and i was so excited they had a starbucks these ladies and the gentleman are very sweet and amazing. they always conversation w me while waiting for my coffee! The other day i got a drink that i didn’t like and they gave me another on for free. amazing service i got maybe 4x a day when i have school”

“Atmosphere is great with good music. Staff is friendly but the food/drinks are overrated. We went for “flights and bites” and tried both the apple and slider trays. We were given 6 apple slices total, half a cup of caramel and TONS of toppings…not at all like was pictured quantity wise. Sliders were very bland, no jalapeño’s on top as pictured, and our cider was not very cold. I would recommend eating elsewhere for the cost.”

“The food was great and service was excellent”

“One of the friendliest bars I have been to in a really long time, I absolutely adore the bartender with the British accent, she is a trip and always such a happy person”

We Love Tim & Joe's and will keep going back for great food, waitress that care that everyone has what they need.”

“Under New owners! It's called Smitty's, the old (Centerfield) same owners as Smitty's in Troy,IL (old SunSet Inn) if you haven't been in to the location in Belleville yet, stop on in. Completely remodeled. New bartender line-up, new look, same fun time!”

“so yummy!! first time i had shrimp tacos it was here - to DIE for. and thank you to the super sweet woman who ran my purse out when i left it on the chair after 2 drinks 🙄🤣🤣”

“I had a great drive thru experience today! 😍 Aaliyah rocks!”

“If you enjoy have a craving or just want to taste some Excellent Authentic Mexican food well then you must try Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant on w. Main . The staff treats you like family, the service is outstanding, and the food is awesome. Your greated with a smile and if your lucky and it's your Birthday they give you a Surprise Dessert. When I go there and have been for several years now my food is great more than you can eat they know what and how i like my Bloody Maria's and my Margaritas. Everyone that works there comes to my table and talks to me like family we laugh and joke Ive never had better friends that the staff here at Mi Casa Belleville on w. Main.”

“Amazing food and great service! Locally owned and operated!”

“I'm sorry to see that some people had very bad experiences. I've never had an issue with this place, but I always order for pickup. The food is always enjoyable. The fried chicken wings are great. The online ordering system is very easy.”

“Tonite I ordered 2 meals for delivery. The guy who took the order was in a hurry in taking the order & didn’t know the menu very well. I ordered a chicken in Chinese vegetables, combo platter, and a Mei Fun House Special. He questioned what the house special was. I already knew this wasn’t going to go well. He didn’t speak clear English to take orders. My order comes & as I sit down to eat my order of the Mei fun wasn’t that at all. It was in a small carton, Lo Mein noodles in a gravy for $10. I called to complain & he told me I could return it. I am a handicapped individual, that is why I called for delivery. They need to train this individual how to take orders & better handle customer service. I will be disputing the charge on my credit card, very disappointed. Some advice, they have an American guy doing deliveries,,maybe they should consider having him taking orders & the guy currently taking calls to the deliveries.”

“The slushee machine here might as well be a McDonalds McFlurry machine. It’s always “broken””

“i get the same smoothie every time, usually it’s fantastic but this time it tastes like the fruit has gone bad. hoping for a better one next time. employees are always nice tho!”

“Good food”

“Visited NY Fish Chicken & Gyro & Convenient Market recently and was very impressed with how clean and polished the restaurant looked. The dining area was spotless and had a very welcoming atmosphere. I tried the tripe sandwich and it was absolutely awesome —full of flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. It’s hard to find good tripe sandwiches around here, but this place definitely did it right. Great food, clean environment, and friendly service. Highly recommended!”

“the food is delicious, the service is fast and friendly and the prices are reasonably for the large portions they serve. I will always go back for more.”

“Had not had Lees in years! I suggest always going inside for your order for take out. Drive thru doesn’t do so well for accuracy. The chicken has been good and I’ve been servers time. Staff is friendly. Service is quick. Cole slow is really good.”

“Buffalo cauliflower is a must order for us. The place is beautiful with great staff!”

“I had a great experience at the Panera Bread at Greenmount Crossing. The customer service was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My order was prepared quickly and the food was fresh and delicious. It’s always nice to go somewhere where the staff clearly cares about providing a positive experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“I miss having it in Kansas City. Every time I'm east of Columbia I need to get my 3 chicken sandwichs, cheese fries and a slider. Come back to KC PLEASE”
