Nice, clean small Casino, 2 months young.Employees were all courteous.Slots we’re fairly loose.Disappointed that the better Restaurant is only open on weekends, Winery Restaurant as well…. BummerWish them the best. Forgot to mention: I did not like the fact that you had a time limit on ordering another drink!!! 20 minutes before you are allowed another!!! Really????

Just had our wedding at the winery. Beware: they will honeypot you with low prices but will add extra charges every step of the way. Rehearsal dinner was quoted at one price and by the time we got the bill it was twice as much. We were promised certain things (like flowers) were included in the initial bill but got a $3000 charge 1 week before the wedding. And overall lack of communication was an issue: the coordinator was hard to reach and absent up until 2 weeks before the wedding.

Beautiful winery. Service was great and the pizza was from a wood fired oven. So good. Enjoyed the Pinot Gris. Make sure take tour of the man made cave. A perfect venue for a wedding!

So we had a group of us very excited to attend the Caribbean Festival..paid $15 to get in..& for what? Just a little disappointed. I understand the fee was prob for music , but they weren't even playing Caribbean music.. I heard Whitney Houston, Hewie Lewis, etc!

I recently attended my nieces wedding at this. Enue. It's amazing and has lots of character. The rabbit hole entrance is neat. They held the ceremony in the old underground wine vault. Super cool. Food and drink services were great. Recommend you go, if nothing else but to look. Very beautiful when you drive up.

Was a regular when this place opened. I have watched over the years as it has spiraled into a place that can't even make cheese fries. It's scientifically mystifying, how someone can mess up cheese and potatoes. Twice. The changes they've made for their wine turned them from one of the best wineries in SI, to the absolute worst.

When you THINK you are at this winery and see the General Store..keep driving. Follow the signs to the TASTING ROOM/ restaurant. It's like coming up on a wine lodge in the middle of a field. After 2 days of doing the southern IL wine trail this menu beats ALL OTHERS. Best charcuterie board and best pizza. Great rosé and service as well!!

Spanky Entertainment Dueling Pianos had the pleasure of performing for a New Year's Eve wedding reception at Walker's Bluff over the weekend, and as a vendor, everything was perfect! The on-site event coordinator, Kelsey, was fabulous and made sure that we were taken care of and well-informed all evening. Gorgeous and unique venue and friendly and helpful staff!

WORST tasting wine in Southern Illinois!!!And I placed an order online, was supposed to be free delivery because I'm local and it took them 2 MONTHS to finally deliver & never even apologized for the inconvenience. I called several times and never got a call back. And the was THE WORST I've ever tasted!!I can't believe they're still in business.

We went to Walkers Bluff for their Thanksgiving buffet 2022. We all wished we had gone to Golden Corral instead. The food was lukewarm to cold, turkey looked like it went thru a wood chipper. Salad bar consisted of a bowl of lettuce. There was No BREAD or ROLLS or butter. The food was not attractively presented and when we went to get desserts there were nothing on the table. Had to ask server to bring some out. At the end of meal we were not offered coffee. The waitress gave us a glass of water and refilled it once. For this little service we had an automatic 20% added to our bill. While waiting for my husband to park the car Before we are I talked to a lady and her Mother waiting for their car. They asked if I had ate at their Thanksgiving buffet before, told them no, and they said they had been coming for the past three years. This year was so disappointing and not anywhere near their usual standard. They said they will never return nor will I!

Went to eat here for Thanksgiving. The food was so bad that my wife and I went to a church after we left here just to eat a Thanksgiving dinner. Paid $35 a plate at Walker's Bluff--the food at the church was free and was outstanding. How can you mess up a meal this bad? Even the gravy was bad and had a terrible taste and was the consistency of water. It would have been at least acceptable if they had bought a jar of turkey gravy at the grocery store and heated it up. The one thing I did eat and enjoyed was the Pecan pie, but of course, it was a commercial pie they purchased someplace. My advice: Next Thanksgiving eat at the Golden Corral.
