“I can't say enough how delicious this place is. It's small so potentially be prepared to wait, but definitely well worth it.Kid-friendliness: Best little tucked away breakfast place. I've had numerous items off their menu and it's all been delicious. Their dutch baby's are awesome, which can be had sweet or savory.I was reluctant to provide a written review, not because it's awful, mainly due to the limited capacity indoors and the off chance that when my family goes we might not get a seat. Greedy I know.Wheelchair accessibility: The entire place is accessible.”
“Always excellent food! Family owned taco shack. Try to get there about the time they open if you can - they seem to run out of tamales by noon more often than not. They're just THAT good!”
“The most charming of all the dives and probably the best bar in all of southern Illinois! Friendly staff and great daily drink specials! And as a beard grower I certainly appreciate the best beard I have seen in my life and travels right there behind the bar standing about 6ft 3in off the floor on a bartender named Pat. Never did get the beard's name though. I think the beard was a 2 sheets to the wind and was just keeping quiet. Great place Good people Charming town Go there Drink Have fun Go home Procreate lots of offspring Train the offspring to be patrons of this establishment called Fuzzy's Make them wait until they are of legal age though...unless they are enlisted to be a first responder or a military member service person!”
“300 miles away and I’m still thinking about the awesome cheeseburger I had there. Probably the best winery in southern Illinois for its food, wine, atmosphere and service.”
“Owl Creek vineyard is a must stop. Did I enjoy every single wine? Maybe. Maybe not. Was the service fine? Yes. It's a comfortable space with live music. We weren't there when the music was but there was a list on the wall which listed who will be performing and when. Outside on the patio was some vintage wine making supplies, some pieces I even recognized. Selections of wine and ciders are available and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. A selection of t-shirts was hidden to the right side of the bar. This vineyard is set up to stay for awhile and make yourself comfortable type of space. There is a cat roaming around who seemed to take a liking to me. I would come back, more likely when there was live music.”
“My brother and sister-in-law were visiting from where they have made their home In Dallas, TX. All four of us grew up in Southern Illinois so we were interested in trying a bourbon bar in Alto Pass. We were not disappointed. I am not a bourbon person but the blueberry lemonade made with blueberry whisky was delicious. We had herb crusted goat cheese which was delicious. My sister-in-law and I shared red velvet bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Unbelievably good. The surroundings are comfortable and charming. The staff is friendly. I will be back.”
“Food was amazing. Chris and Mike were great company and very friendly people. My son got the Philly cheesesteak and said it was to die for. I had the garlic wrap , and a Chicago dog. They were both amazing. And the deep dish pizza is extraordinary. Highly recommend going here. They also have beer and other alcoholic beverages.”
“A fun find as we wander country roads in our rv. Quaint, popular small town hotspot! Enjoyed the decaf, hot chocolate, breakfast sandwich, bagel and cinnamon roll! So many choices of coffee flavors-reg & SF. Everything was delicious. Gal taking order was VERY pleasant and helpful!”
“King’s Wok has the absolute best Asian food in all of southern Illinois. The service is great and everyone is very friendly. I went there a couple of years ago after having not been there in several years and the woman at the counter still remembered my favorite dish; and I was wearing a face mask! That’s what I call excellent service.”
“A wonderful tasting experience.Group loved it! The wine maker did our tasting which made it extra special. I purchased a super cute long sleeve tshirt and some really good blueberry wine. All fruit wines made from local sources.A definite return trip here for me!”
“The owners of HeBrewz , Robbie and Amy blessed me with their space, hot coffee, and delicious desserts for the launch of the United Recovery Community Coalition. When I reached out to Robbie to discuss the mission of The URCC and to see if we could utilize some space at HeBrewz, he said "anything to grow the kingdom".The URCC is forever grateful for the support given, the welcoming atmosphere, and the sweet staff that made sure we had everything we needed that day.Thank you for preparing our desserts, just as ordered, and ready for our meeting when we arrived.God bless ?”
“I am going to give my first google review to Pizza Villa -the best pizza I have ever had in my life.The Lou is the must-have. The flavor of the sauce is rich, savory!The potato skin is in believable too.Try this! You won’t miss it.I only stay in town for one night. It is so good that I wanna come back for lunch again just after I had dinner the day before.”
“I’ve been going here for over fifty years. The place has changed owners a few times I think. The service and food is fantastic. One of the best bbq places to go. The sauce is unique and unmatched by anyone. The people there are friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.”

“Vegetarian options: The salad bar has homemade Italian dressing that is to die for! The ranch dressing is also delicious and homemade! The salad and numerous toppings are fresh! We also order pizza for carry out and our favorite is spinach and black olive! Highly recommend.”
“Stopped by this winery later on a Saturday. They had a line for tastings and flights so we got in line and patiently waited. When we got to the front of the line, we were told they weren't doing flights or tastings. They really should have a sign somewhere that states that so we could go to the purchases line instead. The staff did let us sample 2 so we could decide what we wanted. They also have a lovely seating area outside where we got to enjoy some live music.”
“Seen the trailer parked in Sparta and to be honest not expecting much and hoping for average. Holy smokes was I wrong!! Tremendous selection and everything we have bought so far has been unbelievably great!! Thank you for coming to our area since where we live this kind of seafood isn’t even available to purchase within an hour drive. We will continue to come back every time we see your trailer”
“Teeny tiny out of the way local bar by the train tracks. Amazing!Vegetarian options: Some of the drinks may contain meat. I would not recommend asking any of your stupid hippy questions however. Just order a Sherley Temple and try not to move too much until you leave.Seriously though: I'll buy the first round of you plan to ask this here and invite me to watch. Har har har.”
“A couple weeks ago I ordered an all meat pizza. Hand tossed crust. I believe it's the best pizza I have ever eaten. I'm finicky about sauce. The sauce was awesome. It had several different kinds of meat, sausage, pepperoni, I think Canadian ham. But it was the best! Ordered the following weekend the same thing. If you get the chance order a pizza or sub. You won't be disappointed!!”
“Seen this neat looking building with big letters spelling eat. My wife and I pulled in for a bit it was amazing we both got the chicken fried steak and one of all the side the dumplings was my favorite along with sweet tea.Parking: The parking was the worst of the whole thing small and awkward pull in with small crowded front parking lot and a much larger back parking lot but nothing pointing it out and was almost blocked with cars.”
“The great bartender Mellisa made another person a Monkey Butt drink and it looked so good had to have one!! It was wonderful and a perfect sharing drink!! We will be going back!!!”

“Ordered cheeseburgers and fries! The hamburger patty was not a frozen patty it was hand patted burger patty. The bar tender was supper friendly and very nice! The atmosphere was great. It wasn't packed. Very few people there really. They have music on TV and pool tables.”
“There are many excellent wines and wineries along the Shawnee Wine Trail. Hickory Ridge in Pomona is a favorite! We bought a mixed case of wines because it was too hard to choose just one! Thank-you to the owner who guided us through the tastings of their varietal selections.”
“This place is adorable! We went close to Halloween and they were the only winery that seemed to have decorations. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the wine tasting and the atmosphere.”
“My son was visiting from California and we took him to SV. We had a very good time. This is one of my favorites. The downside was the music was too loud for a small amount of people. We could barely hear each other so we only had one drink.Only posting 4 stars because of that reason.”
