“We had the best lunch at Laux Brickhouse today, Katlyn was our server!“

“Every once in awhile they have a great deal. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, it was. Everyone can bowl for $12 a person including their shoes as much as you want. Good deal!
The only thing I don't like is that we always have issues with the lanes not acting right. Like knocking down the second frame, the ball getting stuck, or it just stalls out and does nothing. But it's close and my grandchildren love to bowl.“

“Had the cottage pie for the first time today. It was amazing!!“

“We live 2 hours north and were in town for a Band Competition, we stopped in to eat. Our server Jordan was fabulous. With it being our first time there the manager sent us some free deviled eggs to sample! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, so tasty! They were a little busy with several parties and took a little longer to get our food but our server was attentive and apologetic for the wait. We were not mad or upset about the wait, totally understand when it’s busy. The manager gave us a free dessert for the wait. The customer service is top notch and they seem to care about the customers. And a plus that the food is delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! We will def be back!“

“Ike was our waiter, he was helpful and super kind (someone raised him right!).“

“Great service and great food was pleasantly surprised“

“🐟🥗 Hickory Grove Restaurant out by the mall consistently serves fresh lettuce for salads and Cod that never fails to impress. The restaurant is not stingy with the condiments like so many others are. 👍 Andy, the owner, always tries to please and values his customers.“

“Great food and great people!!“

“Best food I ever ate!“

“Delicious food, great drinks, friendly service, comfortable settings are what come to mind regarding this restaurant. It's definitely one of my FAVORITE restaurants in the area.“

“What a great experience. Our server was so great. And the food...... We started off with potstickers and they were spot on. The Caesar salad was very good (but it was a Caesar salad, so not too hard to get right). My tuna was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing seasoning. My wife was crazy about her Grilled Chicken Pasta. There was too much for her to eat, so we took it home and out son raved about how good it was. The warm gooey butter cake for dessert was sinful. We each had a couple adult drinks and they were excellent and pretty potent, definately not watered down. It was quiet and the lighting was, what I would call classy. Not bright, but not dark. We will 100% be coming back.“

“Had a large party with short notice today and they accommodated us with no issues. Josie our waitress was one of the best servers we have had in a long time.“

“Was our first time there we both had ice cream and my kid was thrilled with the large portion and he devoured it all! We also got an order of Chicken strips and fries with ranch and BBQ sauce which also was large helpings. Impressed everything was hot and fresh! Thank you to the sweet staff for being accommodating. Can't wait for summer to bring my dog and sit outside!“

“The food and staff at 54th St in Glen Carbon are great but I REALLY HATE how after the remodel they can’t open the patio doors. What is the point of even saying you have a patio when it is all closed up.“

“the snackers are the best, hands down!“

“I have been here 4 times in the last 2 weeks always amazing food, fast service, and a warm greeting from the amazing staff. My favorites are the meatball sub, sub on a club no mayo or mustard add ranch, and the hook and ladder. Definitely stop in and get an amazing lunch or dinner and don’t forget to sign up for their points program who doesn’t like free stuff!!“

“A shout out to the person handling the dining room and fountain soda. She was amazing and her customer service was outstanding. Date 6/15 Time 12:30 I hope you are able to let her know. Her name tag was hidden behind her apron or we would have had her name. Wow! Dawn Mushill, CEO Customer Service and Beyond“

“Great food and such a fun time! We will definitely be back!“

“I ordered online and got errors stating problems with website on 12/16. I stopped by as it appeared that everything went through including the charge. I stopped by the store and the manager saw what I was seeing and worked with me to get my order processed (which was not easily resolved). He was very patient and helped get my order processed. Very nice, friendly, and helpful staff.“

“Super friendly staff. my meal very good - will return!“

“Amazing food and Ariana is an awesome server. We were so happy we tried this place on a whim! Side note: the Brussel sprouts were literally the best I’ve ever had AND they have the good ice. 🤣“

“I went out on a limb hires NickyG’s for a work event. I went directly off of seeing their food post. I would like to say that after talking to everyone at the event they loved the food and the workers. Thank you for making this a great experience!“

“the food is always great, the service is above and beyond! and the waitresses are always there to greet you with a smile!“

“Normally, I support your business but you guys are going to make someone sick. I just got a box of chicken that could only eat the outside because, it's not done. I took a bite of a leg and it tasted funny. So, I looked at it and it was red and pink. gross If, I get sick you'll be hearing from me. I'm so disappointed“

“Great place for bbq!“

“my 4yr old grandson and I go there as often as we can. Great service and great food. Definitely beats McDonald's were he usually wants to go. He eats biscuits and gravy sausage links and fried potatoes there. when before we went there he wouldn't eat anything but McDonald's. so glad to have this place to go to. Plus like I said super friendly place with awesome service“

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.“

“Good food, nice folks, great service!“

“Showed up with a huge group for breakfast- felt bad about overwhelming the staff but they were terrific. Sat us immediately and assigned one server (Sam - PHENOMENAL) so the rest of the restaurant wasn’t negatively impacted. Everything went super smoothly and she was just great. Food was perfect!!“

“Stephanie was wonderful and I’m so sorry for my child getting you with the vampire teeth“

“Edwardsville location is great! They always get my somewhat difficult order correct. Always greet me when I walk in and keep me updated with my order. Great, friendly staff. Please put the Chicken Philly On the online ordering so I can remember to get my reward points! :)“

“Stumbled upon this going to Walmart in Wood River and we really were shocked to find $4 appetizers. It was cool to taste a couple flavors of wings and the price was right. The waitress was gossiping when we needed assistance which was a little off-putting but we'll be back.“

“I stopped by Applebee's for a cocktail. I tried their featured holiday drink. I was fun, festive, and had a decent amount of alcohol. The price was reasonable.
I recommend these drinks. Please drink responsibly.
The booth I was sitting in was worn out and uncomfortable. The carpets could use a good shampoo. The waiter was friendly and efficient.
I have dined here in the past and the food was tasty.
The restaurant is child friendly, wheelchair accessible and has plenty of free parking.
I recommend this restaurant.“

“Was at Edwardsville location on 3/5 for lunch. Don’t know the server’s name but she was terrific. Very genuinely friendly, not the fake kind a lot of servers portray. Food was fantastic and will make you want to return. The only complaint was the music, wasn’t the preferred old rock that was playing when first arrived.“

“Stephanie was wonderful and I’m so sorry for my child getting you with the vampire teeth“

“Thank you for helping me reach 13 million views. If you'd like to keep up with my latest reviews remembered to like and follow.

As you know I only write reviews when something is awesome or terrible.

Here's your review:

Went in for Day 1 of my birthday celebrations, walked in with full crown and bday sash it brightened up everyone's day hehe.

Our waitress was nice, organized, thought ahead, non-judmental about my food allergies and me being so extra for my bday 🎂 🥳 activities.

We ordered waffles with eggs, turkey bacon, grits and had browns and they were as great as expected. The hot chocolate was good though it would have been better to fully desolve the powder in a smaller amount of hot water then fill the cup after.

They no longer have the syrup basket but as you can see in the photos they do service it in little cups upon request.

Overall the experience was nice, not a long wait time, and friendly environment. It would have been sad if this place was closed but Im happy its still standing. Until next time, happy eating 🥰🥳“

“Our family just had an amazing restaurant experience at Red Robin in Edwardsville! Our son has Down syndrome and being in public places causes him a lot of anxiety. We haven’t been to a restaurant as a family in many years because the stress for him and everyone around him was just too much. On arrival the hostess was so accommodating! She let my husband look at the table options to see what would work best for our son. She worried about skipping over us on the wait list even though we were clear that we were totally fine with waiting for the table that worked best. The manager asked a server to take on an extra table so that we wouldn’t have to wait longer. Our server, Mason, was so kind to take on an extra table for us. Mason is an excellent server. He was very friendly with our boys, kept our drinks full, and brought our food and drinks very quickly. Our meals were delivered quick and delicious. Thank you Red Robin for giving us an awesome experience!“

“Had the best experience with a great bartender Chelsey!!“

“We ordered a family meal for all 5 of us a few nights ago. 5 of us including my huge husband and 3 boys. Lol. They eat alot! Usually we can't order fast food anywhere that will comfortably feed everyone's appetites for under 100 bucks. For around 60 we got spicy fish filets for everyone,hush puppies and the stuffed crabs for the kiddos,fries and coleslaw. We put the fish on bread to make sandwiches and viola! A nice FILLING meal for everyone for under 100! We will be ordering this more often for sure!!! Very happy!!“
