Restaurants near Carterville

“Nice place to stop in for a sweet treat !”

“We had the chicken spice pizza & the BEST hot Italian beef sandwich! Will for sure be coming back!”

“I just discovered Heather’s lemon blueberry pound cake at Riverside Mercantile in Elizabethtown! It is just delicious! Light and lemony…just right for me! I’ll be stopping by in Carterville!”

“came and grabbed a brown sugar oatmilk espresso today, easily the most delicious coffee i’ve EVER had!! also grabbed a brown butter toffee cookie, soooo yummy:) ally was very sweet and helpful!”

“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!”

“Great food and friendly quick service!”

“It’s a good, standard diner. Portions and prices are reasonable. Food is good. Coffee is standard diner coffee so don’t get your hopes up. Not very strong and doesn’t taste that great, but that’s what you get at a diner. Everything else was pretty good!”

“Everything about Tequilas in Carterville is Top Notch! I guarantee you’ll be back for more.”

“We ate here for my daughters birthday and we were super happy! I thought the whole train theme of the restaurant was so cool & the kids loved the train table they had for them to play with. The pizza was probably the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time! Super good & friendly staff. Definitely want to go back!”

“Hucks does a great job at all areas. I get Godfathers pizza occasionally and its its always been good. Cinnamon rolls are the best too. Uncommon for a gas station convenience store.”

“My husband and I stopped in on a Friday evening for some wine and snacks before dinner. The place is absolutely gorgeous! The wines and cocktails were delicious. Just be warned they no longer have a full kitchen, but the charcuterie board was great. Sue was at the bar and she was a pleasure to talk to!”

“Great time celebrating a birthday with friends! Service was friendly and attentive. Margaritas were delicious. I am a sucker for a giant pretzel and baby it did not disappoint. Massive but so tasty and great cheese alongside. I barely had room for the wings I ordered but they were incredible too! Like something out of a food blog. Will definitely be back.”

“Wonderful experience at this Cartersville Subway. I don't eat pork and asked the two women serving us to change their gloves and they both did so happily! I was really touched by their simple kindness and willingness to help.”

“Greetings; in writing my review of Rob's Pit Barbeque in Carteville Illinois, I must say that those was the best tasting Rib Tips I've eaten since I was a little boy back in a small town in Arkansas. The meat was perfectly seasoned, thick, tender and juicy. The to-go plate was sufficient, although I could've eaten more, lol. Overall; everything was perfect, salute to the cooks, and hostess! There's no need for me to go anywhere else for my Rib Tips. I'll see you all again soon, when I bring the family and friends; thanks.”

“We went on a Friday evening and sat outside on the patio since we had our dog and the weather was nice. When we eat here, it always takes some time for the food to come out, but service is always friendly and the food is good. We originally ordered the spinach dip, the bruschetta pizza, and a buffalo chicken salad. Later on, we realized there was a dinner menu special so we ended up adding the salmon and steak entrees and brownie for dessert. The food here is very good and everything tastes like it's made from scratch so it's worth the wait. This is one of the few wineries in the area that actually has good food options and the venue indoors and outdoors is comfortable and pleasant.”

“Our hometown DQ. Lots of memories here. Good food and ice cream.”

“During the day, this McDonald's has always provided me with fresh food...burgers are out together and not just thrown in a wrapper, fries still hot and crispy. Night shift...not so much!”

“This is amazing food!! Fresh, unique to Southern Illinois and I haven't had anything that I didn't enjoy! YOU NEED TO TRY IT TODAY!”

“I dropped by in a snow storm one night and was blown away by the taste and quality of this chicken. I just returned to this area and cannot believe how tasty this chicken plus convenience of this place.
I have since picked up this chicken and taken some to my relatives and friends because more people need to try this place.
My elderly father tried to fight someone for the cajun potatoes. We were talking about the leftovers and he was like, the fried potatoes are mine! So even the sides are incredibly tasty.

Seriously, try this place, it's so good and they are so friendly.
Highly recommended.
I've never eaten in the store. I've only gotten to go.”

“When artistry and pizza combine. Magical chef. Quality, quality, quality.”

“Our favorite restaurant in Carbondale IL. My wife and I have been coming here for years. We heard they had new ownership so we were a bit concerned but the food was better than ever. Two Chicken Mogulghul and two cans of Vimto. Simple and delicious. Thanks Aban kitchen for always being there for us and having great food :) and a cozy atmosphere.”

“The best flavored coffee in town with many SF flavors.”

“Tried today for the first time… Best Gyro I’ve ever had, SOOO good! Definitely hit the spot. Super quick service too! Can’t wait to try the Italian beef next 😋”

“This is my HAPPY FOOD! I love this place!”

“The best food and service and the sweetest people.”

“I want to give a huge shoutout to Kyle, manager at Quatro’s for his excellent customer service! He went above and beyond rectifying a couple of mishaps that I experienced with Q’s. My family have been ordering their pizza for years and I didn’t really want to start going somewhere else due to some problems with ordering etc, but kyle immediately called me (without me asking him to) and offered up a solution. Kudos to him especially when a lot of other restaurants would have just shrugged it off. Than u!!!”

“Changos is one of my favorite places to eat! It's a wonderful family-run restaurant with friendly service and great food every time. The atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. My personal favorite is the taco salad—it's always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food and a place that feels like home, I highly recommend Changos!”

“We had a great meal here—the food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. That said, we did have to wait a bit to be seated, and the restaurant was really busy, so the service felt a bit slow and scattered at times. It’s understandable given how packed they were, but it did impact the overall experience slightly. Still, if you're not in a rush and want a tasty meal, it's worth a visit.”

“These guys make a good pie. You're wasting your time at the other places.”

“Thanks Bailey Scott-McGee for the great service. Clean relaxed atmosphere and excellent food. Highly recommend”
