New American Restaurants near Carbondale, IL

“We recently celebrated a special birthday at Global Gourmet and was more than delighted with the service, food and hospitality given to us by our waiter and owner. We spent several hours there and wish we lived closer to have dinners on a regular basis.“

“Flame is one of my favorite local restaurants. The ambiance is pleasant and the cocktails are good. All of their dishes are very well priced and everything tastes like it's made fresh. My go to is the lobster dip, crabcakes, and ribeye. They recently added creamed spinach as a side and it's very tasty.“

“Last night was our first visit and it was amazing! The fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The French dip had the perfect crusted bun yet soft with great flavor. My son had his favorite beverage made to perfection.“

“Went to Ruthie's on Thursday evening. We got crab cakes for appetizers. Best crab cake I've ever encountered. I got the 10oz sirloin with broccolini. Superb. The steak was tender and had a marinade, that made the taste rich and light at the same time. Broccolini was the perfect side. Also, had a black cherry mojito that I will have dreams about. Overall fantastic service. Waitress was wonderful. I will be back and will recommend to everyone I see!“
