My husband and I stopped in at Cured and Cultured for a late-in-the-day anniversary lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was empty (it was 2:30pm when we got there) and we had the whole place to ourselves. I really haven't heard people talk about Cured and Cultured, which is surprising because the food was INCREDIBLE. Every bite of each food item is flavor-packed, and not too rich at the same time.
The husband ordered sweet Thai chili- and lemon pepper-seasoned chicken wings with a side of french fries (deep fried in peanut oil I think) and sipped on some Woodford Reserve. I enjoyed Leo's brisket sandwich (recommended to me by our very attentive server, Matt) with a side of bacon ranch pasta salad. The flavors complemented each other perfectly and the portion sizes were just right.
The restaurant benefits from a full bar and a patio out back for warmer weather and live music. I was surprised to see a mini liquor store when we first walked in. I even questioned if we went to the right place because it doesn't even appear to be a restaurant. At the checkout counter is a deli where I believe customers can take home choice items.
I'm excited to return during the warmer months to try more food on their menu and enjoy some music on the back patio. It was wonderful to have such a great dining experience on that side of Belleville. It's providing a much-needed boost to the area.
After tip for two people- an entree, a side, and an alcoholic drink per person; we spent more than $70. I get inflation, but I do wish food this good was more accessible.
Updated note: Returned for my second visit two years later celebrating Father's Day and my dad said their bleu cheese was the best he's ever had. Valerie took care of us on this visit and was so friendly and helpful. Eager for my next visit!

If you're buying alcohol, it's going to be a bit more expensive but the food was absolutely delicious and it is a whiskey bar so expect to pay more if you were buying alcohol

My mom and I went here for dinner on a Friday night. It was very loud when we walked in. There seemed to be a party going on in a semi closed off space. We sat ourselves and the waiter came over with menus and water.
We ordered the wonton buffalo wraps as an app and they were delicious.
My mom ordered the pork chop with a loaded baked potato and broccoli. She said it was good although the pork was not cooked completely to her liking.
I also ordered the pork chop but they unfortunately only had one available. So I went with the ribeye with parmesan risotto and brussel sprouts. The ribeye was cooked well but had a very smokey grilled taste and no other seasoning. The risotto was good but undercooked and the brussel sprouts were really good.
Our waiter was nice and attentive.
I will not be going back due to obnoxious noise level. It may have just been due to that party but it was extremely overwhelming.

Delicious stop for lunch. The fried mushrooms with a horseradish aioli were so on 🔥. We split a French dip sandwich, and it was chalked full of tender meat. The only problem was we should have ordered two handcut fries because I couldn't get enough of them.

Everything about this restaurant screams average, except for the prices. All about getting my moneys worth when I go out to eat and both the food and drinks are overpriced and not that great. $9 for house wine, $6 for a bottle of beer? If it was more affordable it could be a nice weekly spot to stop into, but dropping $70-$100 on two people for this establishment is unsatisfactory. The staff is super friendly, and I wish I could go back…. but I won’t

Food was great tasting. Service was excellent. The pork chop was delicious. I thought the fry portion was on the small side, but seasoned very good.

We visited last night. Our server was great and the wait wasn’t long.
So loud! My ears are still ringing. I understand not wanting to ask loud patrons to quiet down, but at least add some sound absorbing panels to the large space. We couldn’t hear our server well and could barely talk to each other.
I had the patty melt and wouldn’t recommend it. The burger wasn’t seasoned and the grilled onions were very raw. Just tasted like a dirty grill. The fries were overdone and crispy.
great drinks, great services, great vibes
