New American Restaurants near Carbondale, IL

“Fantastic atmosphere and ambiance. Our server, Ashley, was attentive and accommodating. This is a great place for a romantic dinner. Started with stuffed mushrooms and French onion soup. Both were fantastic. Followed that up with 2 PERFECTLY cooked steaks with smashed potatoes, creamed spinach and broccoli. The added touch? These steaks were also perfectly rested. One of the most tender, flavorful and juicy steaks I have ever had and not one drop of juice on the plate. I can't rave about this place enough. If you're in town or a local and want a fabulous steak, look no further.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ruthie’s was genuinely an incredible experience. The lobster bisque; I will be dreaming of for the rest of my life. I almost wonder if I could order it in bulk, it was so amazing!
The broccolini family style was covered in thick pieces of very flavorful quality bacon. Smokey, salty, fresh. My garden salad was extremely fresh, clean, and served beautifully. My only suggestion is maybe chop the greens a bit more, because it is impractical to use a butter knife, so we don’t look like a horse eating hay at the table.
Our overall dining experience was a 12/10, our server was very kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She answered our questions about drink pricing, was very attentive, brought our food/drinks in a timely manner ( refills, too.), and made sure to clear our plates when finished immediately.
We will most definitely be making Ruthie’s a spot we visit often. I was very impressed being the location. Thank you Ruthie’s and to our server, you were absolutely fabulous!“
