Restaurants in Edwardsville

“I rarely write a review, however, I am writing to express my immense satisfaction with your restaurant. All I can say is, WOW. Your establishment truly goes above and beyond to provide exceptional food and service to your customers.

From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was incredibly warming and truly set a wonderful vibe. The food was remarkably fresh and incomparable to any other restaurant I've visited. The owners' dedication to providing top-tier service, along with the very attentive servers, made for an outstanding experience. If you want a taste of authentic Neapolitan pizza , this is definitely the place to go.

If anyone is in Edwardsville area , I would confidently argue that this restaurant is hands down the best to visit. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience, we will definitely be back!”

“I went there with friends to celebrate my birthday. The food is exceptional as was the service. I think it's my new favorite Italian ristorante!”

“Best place around to eat. If you don’t want a headache, stay off the patio. A bunch of inconsiderate clowns seemingly always decide it’s a great idea to yell and act like animals.”

“Amazing food and Ariana is an awesome server. We were so happy we tried this place on a whim! Side note: the Brussel sprouts were literally the best I’ve ever had AND they have the good ice. 🤣”

“We live 2 hours north and were in town for a Band Competition, we stopped in to eat. Our server Jordan was fabulous. With it being our first time there the manager sent us some free deviled eggs to sample! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, so tasty! They were a little busy with several parties and took a little longer to get our food but our server was attentive and apologetic for the wait. We were not mad or upset about the wait, totally understand when it’s busy. The manager gave us a free dessert for the wait. The customer service is top notch and they seem to care about the customers. And a plus that the food is delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! We will def be back!”

“Great place for bbq!”

“I was at Peel Wood Fired Pizza in O’Fallon, IL on June 13, 2025. I got a pepperoni pizza, and it was delicious! On top of that, all of the staff that I saw were very professional. I strongly recommend Peel Wood Fired Pizza to anyone who likes pizza.”

“We stopped in today for an early dinner and everything was so lovely! The bread, the salad, the pasta, the atmosphere and the service were all perfection. Kayla was our server and I can't express how wonderful she was. We can't wait to go back!”

“Kyoto Edwardsville has become our favorite hibachi spot in the area. We have been multiple times and it was a great experience each time.”

“The food excellent as well as the service. Great place for a business meeting”

“Take a chance and try anything on the menu. I've never been disappointed. Andy is our favorite waiter and makes the best suggestions.”

“Went there for first time recently. Service was great. Quiet and nice environment. The calamari was not good, quite chewy. Otherwise the rest of the food was great !”

“Great food and such a fun time! We will definitely be back!”

“I love Just Right Eating! I get 5 meals a week and it helps cut down on meal prepping time as I sometimes get 2 meals from 1 item. All the nutrition is on each package and the food lasts a long time in the fridge. The owners are friendly and are great at answering any questions that I’ve had. It is always quick to pick up and they have delivery options as well.”

“LITERALLY SO AMAZING. Top tier atmosphere and the best waitress ive ever had. Even on a super busy night they were fast, responsive, and the food was amazing. It can be a little pricey, but if you look there are some great deals and you get a TON of food with those prices. Couldn’t recommend enough, great place. Also btw if your meal came with breadsticks you can request some to go which is awesome.”

“Our server, Kayla, had a great attitude and always had a smile on her face. She recommended a couple different rolls and they were delicious.”

“I love this place! Excellent sushi, beautiful and clean restaurant with very friendly employees!”

“This is a wonderful place for steaks and other great food. My wife and I went in right after opening and were seated right away. Fresh rolls and butter were immediately placed before us. Hannah served us and took our order immediately. Drinks arrives within 2 or 3 minutes. We ordered the Cactus Blossom and it was presented hot and delicious within 15 minutes. Steaks came 15 minutes later, all hot and tender. Hannah checked on us several time during dinner. Great food and 5-star service! We'll be back. BTW: our bill was half that of Outback and the service was 10 times better.”

“Love gulf shores! Went tonight to the St. Peter’s location and had a yummy dinner. The host was a young man and did a great job and our waitress was lovely and on top of it! Two elderly women came in a the younger of the two was extremely rude and entitled to the host (the young man). Rudely demanding a different table each time he tried to seat them. I just wanted to point out how well he handled it and that he stayed professional and kept a smile on his face the whole time. He deserves kudos. I told her on the way out to tone down her entitlement and not to be so rude to staff and she spiraled. Not shocking. I’m not a fan of treating those in the service industry rudely. Again he handled it very well. Good job to him!”

“Fast and delicious! The sweet spicy chicken was my favorite. The Mac salad was also really good. Danny was wonderful to talk to.”

“Our first time to eat here and it was delicious! Even the presentation was great and we were greeted by a very helpful and engaging man who I assume is the owner. Very nice atmosphere. Only suggestion would be more relaxing music and more veggies in the #5 crispy chicken bowl. Plenty of food! We will be back!”

“My friend took me here for my birthday! I got a picture of my favorite hippy cow, and had a fantastic lunch with primo service from Kelsi and Andrew! Fantastic place! HIGHLY recommend!!”

“Pizza and service is always good!”

“Always a favorite to visit! I wish there was a location closer to me in Shiloh but it's worth the drive. Nice staff, great food, fantastic teas.”

“northside can do no wrong. the signs remind me i need to shovel as much money to them as i can”

“First time in with my daughter and granddaughter and not only were they very patient and friendly with us, but they gave special attention to my grand baby. The girl working the front is absolutely amazing. She gave her a pad of paper and something to write with and let her put her drawing on the wall. Thank you for being so sweet and making her feel special!”

“very good hamburgers and very good tater tots and they have a sauce that is awesome”

“Very nice n clean place to eat. Food was on time and very good. I will be back. Very friendly ppl and nice atmosphere.”

“Great food. Love their flacos, tacos and margaritas.”

“Jose Silva really took good care of explaining the menu this guy was on point”

“Very clean place love the atmosphere ice cream was amazing!”

“Thanks for my newest obsession…Peach, raspberry iced tea 🤗”

“Tried Bann Thai for the first time today and if I lived closer (I'm in St. Charles, MO) I'd probably be there weekly! From the Crispy Spring Rolls and Egg Rolls to the Pad Thai and the Three Musketeers, my girlfriend and I spent a good hour just saying, "Oooh this is SO good!" Our waiter was super friendly and helpful--easily the best service I've had anywhere since the pandemic. 5 stars, 10/10, etc.! Like they say in the movies, "We'll be back!"”

“Always delicious and well seasoned!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.”

“The Teaspoon Sandwich is a perfect blend of fresh mozzarella cheese and perfect pesto on yummy bread!! And a small salad of fresh lettuce! Also the coffee with cocoa & coconut was outstanding!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I took my kids to Source Juicery in Edwardsville for my birthday after a few friends recommended it—and WOW, what an amazing experience! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from the moment we walked in. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the people they serve. The highlight? The smoothie bowls! Absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My kids loved them just as much as I did. It felt like such a treat, but also so nourishing. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday, and I’m already looking forward to going back. Highly recommend Source Juicery for anyone looking for delicious, healthy food served in a great environment!”

“Food and service is top-notch Probably best mexican food in the area. The only complaint I have is passing along your credit card fees to your guest , all though it's not much. It seems very tacky for such a nice and busy establishment. A small sign in the entryway that no one is going to pay attention to until someone goes to pay the bill and sees a price different from the menu and the server or manager has to point it out is not the best of practices and you can tell they have to say it alot. Just work it into the price of the dishes. Other than that, great place.”

“Their coffee & espresso are the best in town!”

“On my first visit I bought bingsu, bubble tea and taiyaki. Everything was great: taste, texture and customer service. Definitely worth finding something to celebrate each month (or week) with bingsu and bubble tea!”

“I get delivery for pizza & salad, when I go to my sisters in Godfrey. Its delicious, can't wait for them to be closer to me👏👏”

“My best friend and I went as soon as they opened at 7am.
They label them in thr box so you can tell what everything. We took them to go, more that type! I believe you can order ahead, but too sure on that. But 10/10 would recommend! Really good! We got 6 and total was around 30 dollers and we got two drinks as well! So was a good price i say!”

“Very good food for a reasonable price and service was quick. Will be back!”

“We used The Cup to provide cupcakes for our wedding day. Our guests LOVED them. We are so thankful for their professionalism and help in ensuring our cupcakes were ready for our guests. I would highly recommend The Cup for a simple treat or a big event.”

“Had a great time Friday night at our our debut in Edwardsville Illinois at The Corner Tavern 💥 Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us! 🤘☮️🎶😊 We really enjoyed making new friends here too! 💚 We have no further dates scheduled here but hope to return soon! 🎶🥁🎶”

“we loved their food, you get a decent amount too for such a great price. we came for first time today to eat with our 3 young boys. we will be back again in future. (we live about a half hour away)”

“Took my grandma to lunch there today. She just turned 99 on Christmas and one of the workers caught wind. Well, the staff came out with a beautiful ice cream sundae and sang her happy birthday. It was the sweetest thing and completely made her day!”

“Awesome crowd last night at Wiggler's Bar and Grill for our 1st time there! 😊🎶🤘 Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us! 🎶☮️ 🙏 This place is definitely a hidden gem with great food and atmosphere, and the staff and patrons are great! 👍💎 We have no further dates scheduled here but hope to return soon! 😉”

“Awesome tap house! Huge selection of beer on tap and in bottles and cans! Super service! The atmosphere is great, music playing, but not too loud. Nice indoor and outdoor areas. Too notch place! 🍻👍”

“We LOVE the take and bake from Papa Murphy's Pizza. They do such a good job of making the pizza fresh in front of you. We have never had an issue with Papa Murphy's in Edwardsville, IL.”

“The staff was very welcoming and the food was good.”

“I want to take a moment and say how grateful I am for the staff who worked at closing time on August 31st. I ordered birthday bundtlets on the 30th to be picked up on the 31st at 3:30pm. I was running late but on my way. I knew all was ok since they would be open till 6pm. I received a call at 4pm from a number I didn’t recognize so I didn’t answer since I was on the phone with my son. About 10 minutes later I looked at my phone to see the number again and it read NBC Edwardsville. It dawned on me Nothing Bunt Cakes and I thought why would they be calling me??” I then decided to look at the website and yep it was their number. I then saw the Sunday closing and OMG they closed at 4!! I looked at Sat closing time instead of Sundays!! Uuhhgg they were calling me concerned I hadn’t shown up to pick my order up. I went ahead and looked into store and there was an employee still there. She called out to another employee and they came to the door to see what I wanted not knowing who I was. They definitely didn’t have to open up to help me but I’m so very thankful they did. The bundtlets were for my daughter bday party. In a world where people only give negative reviews I wanted to give great one!!! Thank you to all three ladies for making our bday celebration a little sweeter with your yummy bundtlets!! We will be back!! ❤️”

“The food is absolutely amazing. The place was clean and the service was good!”

“This little place in the strip mall has some of the best tasting chineese food I have ever had. The prices are outstanding as well. So do yourselves a favor and try out this hidden gem.”

“Everything we’ve ever tried has been so fresh and delicious! We had lemon macarons today and I think they’re the best macarons I’ve ever had.”

“Tried their Chinese for lunch my first time. The food was great. You get a lot for what you pay for.”

“Probably the best shake I have had in my entire life. Brownie Batter ice cream with oreo toppings, I highly recommend. Was there on the 4th of July in the evening, seemed like the family was there working rather than non-family staff, which I appreciate.”

“The first time we ordered, we were disappointed with our food. However, they reached out right away, apologized, and gave us a discount for our next visit. We decided to try them again tonight, and everything was great. The food was cooked perfectly, the staff was nice, and my kids got to play a board game. If you had a less than stellar first experience with them, I would suggest giving them another try.”

“Showed up with a huge group for breakfast- felt bad about overwhelming the staff but they were terrific. Sat us immediately and assigned one server (Sam - PHENOMENAL) so the rest of the restaurant wasn’t negatively impacted. Everything went super smoothly and she was just great. Food was perfect!!”

“My favorite place!! The lotus drinks are amazing!”

“The food is pretty good. The salsa isn't industrial made like the other places. I have a problem with them automatically charging everyone with the 3% credit card fee even when paying with CASH.”

“This has to be one of the best Indian meals we have ever had. We called the day before for pickup the next afternoon. He was so helpful with deciding spice level for each dish. Everything was ready when we arrived and packed carefully so it stayed warm. We shared all dishes and loved every one. My favorite was the coconut curry chicken. They added complimentary wraps and rice pudding, which was absolutely delicious. So happy we found this place, so easy and absolutely loved how each dish was spiced differently and tasted homemade and fresh!”

“I came here to grab lunch for my family and the OWNER was working the register . He was absolutely delightful and our food was phenomenal. Ownership like this is what America is made of. We will definitely be back and recommend 10/10!”

“I have been here 4 times in the last 2 weeks always amazing food, fast service, and a warm greeting from the amazing staff. My favorites are the meatball sub, sub on a club no mayo or mustard add ranch, and the hook and ladder. Definitely stop in and get an amazing lunch or dinner and don’t forget to sign up for their points program who doesn’t like free stuff!!”

“Went here last night with a friend. Employees were so nice. Food was AMAZING. We went around 430 to beat the dinner rush. Will be going back again and again.”

“A shout out to the person handling the dining room and fountain soda. She was amazing and her customer service was outstanding. Date 6/15 Time 12:30 I hope you are able to let her know. Her name tag was hidden behind her apron or we would have had her name. Wow! Dawn Mushill, CEO Customer Service and Beyond”

“Came here for some quick drinks and food with some friends. Ava Lyn was everything I could’ve asked for in a server. Quick, fun, attentive, and personable. Made our night and we’ll definitely be back when she’s working!”

“Thank you to the Manager in Dierbergs today that helped my Mother and I with our food order. It was very kind of her to have assisted my Mother the way she did. Service that we def NEVER get in Wal Mart.”

“Love the food!!!!!! I would go more often but parking is a real problem!!!!!”

“Food was absolutely amazing! Best chips and salsa I have had n a long time!! My husband and I can’t wait to go back! Food was fire!!! 🙌🏻”

“Build your own pies at a reasonable price? Say no more! I cannot get enough of this place. I drive 40 minutes just because I crave it. 11in pizza for less than 14$ with as many toppings I want?! Are you kidding!! It's cooked fresh everytime. Made in front of you like a Subway bar. Super awesome staff, comfy atmosphere and amazinggg za”

“Visited on Monday evening bingo. Had a good time. It would have been GREAT, but I didn't win any games. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of bingo games that were played. People seemed to enjoy the snack foods and beverages they purchased. I had a fun time and would go again.”

“Staff is always polite and competent, even during the everyday lunchtime rush. Very few times have I been disappointed by this location. Only complaint is that they don't have knives. The grilled cheese is very big, so I ask for it to be cut in half. But that's just me. I just find it amusing that a chain restaurant does not provide its employees knives. Unless the staff does have knives, and they are simply playing a practical joke on me. So be it: 4 stars.”

“Several visits and the sandwiches have been excellent each time. Service has always been reasonably quick and friendly. I usually get a cold sandwich, but the cheese steaks are great also.

Parking: The parking lot is not large and a bit awkward”

“Place is like a time capsule stuck in the 80s, which is a good thing, been going here since I was a child and now it is my son's favorite pizza as well.. I drive out of my way to go here at least once a year, the atmosphere and pizza are the best.”

“What a wonderful experience today at Lions Choice in Edwardsville. Pam and I had a great lunch with wonderful service. Thank you manager Crystal!”

“Edwardsville location is great! They always get my somewhat difficult order correct. Always greet me when I walk in and keep me updated with my order. Great, friendly staff. Please put the Chicken Philly On the online ordering so I can remember to get my reward points! :)”

“Went today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised about how good quality and tasty the food was!, employee was also very sweet and kind going out of their way to make sure me and my friend had a good experience”

“Got the Frisco burger along with fries and both were quite excellent. I like the fact that they asked me how I wanted my burger cooked because I usually find they overcook it. It was cooked to perfection. Very flavorful as well. I could taste the meat which sometimes it doesn't seem like you can with burgers. Waitress was attentive and friendly.”

“This is a good establishment for Mexican cuisine in the Edwardsville area. Big menu with lots of options. Nothing spectacular, but it’s the best of the bunch in Edwardsville. Service is ok, but food comes out quickly and it’s not overly expensive. The corn bread side is delicious.”

“We were greeted by the general manager and the other workers chimed in as well with a hello. Even with being busy they made sure to be friendly and checked in to make sure everyone had what they needed. The general manager made sure to share with the other employees how wonderful of a job they did. The food was very good but it's the employees that made it a wonderful place to eat.”

“I came here for lunch during the week and the staff were quick and polite. Restaurant was clean and the food was superb. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.”

“I tried one of their chocolate chip cookies it was very good! I definitely recommend trying it. I’ll be back again!”

“Our first time here. We had the family meal for 2. There was enough food to feed 4! We loved the food and our waitress was very sweet. Restaurant was clean, people friendly and food very good.”

“You guys did an amazing job with our cake! Thanks so much!!!! ❤”

“very friendly gentleman working at the drive thru window. Got my order quickly, order was accurate and good was nice and warm”

“Our family just had an amazing restaurant experience at Red Robin in Edwardsville! Our son has Down syndrome and being in public places causes him a lot of anxiety. We haven’t been to a restaurant as a family in many years because the stress for him and everyone around him was just too much. On arrival the hostess was so accommodating! She let my husband look at the table options to see what would work best for our son. She worried about skipping over us on the wait list even though we were clear that we were totally fine with waiting for the table that worked best. The manager asked a server to take on an extra table so that we wouldn’t have to wait longer. Our server, Mason, was so kind to take on an extra table for us. Mason is an excellent server. He was very friendly with our boys, kept our drinks full, and brought our food and drinks very quickly. Our meals were delivered quick and delicious. Thank you Red Robin for giving us an awesome experience!”

“Love the fried fiesta tacos”

“I visit this location often and receive exceptional service which is impressive with the large volume of customers who frequent here... And when I see Maya working, I know I will be met with a sweet smile and perfect drinks :)”

“awesome waitress and very friendly”

“Good and prompt service.”

“I don't know what is going on orders.are often wrong lately. since the new hires I order for a client simple vanilla latte. they dont come.e with whip cream and they put it on. Mostly milk not sure where we the coffee is. we also add cinnamon docle sprinkles cost extra. sometimes it's there or they put something else that reads CF. usually they are on game but sad because we may have to change locations.”
