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.“

“We had planned date night at Ruthie's before a concert, and had made reservations a couple of months earlier on Walker's Bluff website. On a whim, we called the restaurant the day before to be told that we had no reservation in their listing. The manager, Ernest Carter then immediately looked to see if they could accommodate us, anyway and found us a good table in the bar area. Our bartender Chris was also polite and pleasant. The food and service was excellent and we will be back!“
