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.”

“Atmosphere is so warm & inviting! Service is always too notch and the food is delicious. St Elmo cocktail was delicious and the sweet & spicy wings are a must!”

“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”

“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. 🤣”

“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!”

“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 !”

“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 want to give the biggest shout out to are waitress Danielle Duncan for being the most on it waitress I've ever met. her hospitality skills were out of this world.everything that I thought I would need she was always 2 steps ahead of me. she was fast and the most caring warm hearted person. after decompressing from the hoilday weekend meeting her was such a blessing. me my husband and my family come to the Edwardsville location a few times a month and I will be asking for Danielle every single time. people like her deserve a raise!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I came here and had a really chill time. It wasn’t vey busy on the inside so we ordered and then sat down. Food came out so quick. Kiara brought it out to us, and everything was great. Kiara took great care of us and went above and beyond with her wonderful hospitality. There’s even a sticker bucket here. We will definitely be back!! 🤏🤏🤏”

“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!”

“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.”

““Eat there almost once a week sometimes twice. The staff is always friendly. Family owned business. The lady who runs the place is very nice. Her sons cook. The quality is always consistent. My coworkers and I love going there for Lunch. They are happy to accommodate you on your dietary needs. They will also let you customize your order with difference sauces. The prices are extremely fair. Atmosphere is nice. Please check out Fusion Taco in Edwardsville. Support a small business with delicious food. This from my son Tyler who isn’t on Facebook”

“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!!”

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

“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👏👏”

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

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.”

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

“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!”

“Always delicious and well seasoned!”

“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!"”

“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.”

“Great place for bbq!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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! 🎶🥁🎶”

“fantastic place to visit very reasonable prices”

“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! 😉”

“Their kolaches are always good and they have some awesome options. The meatball and Gioia's hot salami are the best, IMHO. That being said, you can't go wrong with any of them. They also have sweets, for those that don't want kolaches. The staff is always friendly. For this if you that are going, be prepared to carry out. Unless their tables are hidden, there isn't a place to sit and eat in.”

“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)”

“Maria was a wonderful bartender!! Had a great experience and delicious food! Will definitely be coming back.
Only suggestion would be to get a better wine selections.”

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

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

“We called 2 or 3 days in advance. The young lady I talked to was very nice and helped me place my order quick and pay for it over the phone. Everyone enjoyed the bundt cakes! Thank you from the Bann Thai family and friends.”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“first time in this restaurant every body here look very friendly the food very tasty and fresh I think I going to come back”

“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!”

“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”

“Fantastic place to eat outside! This restaurant shares a space outside with the restaurant next door. Perfect for a quick brunch. As well, they have I think 50? Beers on tap.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Very good authentic Mexican food, with reasonable prices!

Came here for my first time and it was a delight. Staff was nice and welcoming. Upon entering the table it didn't take long to get drinks or order our food. Food was hot, quick ans delicious. Over all atmosphere is great. It's a calming, relaxing a place to have a good time at. Dish below i got birria tacos! I highly recommend, I will be coming back!”

“Laura is wonderful to work with, ordered a cake for our son’s rehearsal dinner 2 days ago and not only was it beautiful, it was delicious also. Everyone raved about it at the dinner.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Service was wonderful!! Jack was a sweet employee who I saw at the window in the drive-thru, he made sure I had everything I needed. The service was fast and the food was hot, will come back much much more!!”

“awesome waitress and very friendly”

“I saw this restaurant on Uber Eats and I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the Chicken pakora and chicken biryani and everything taste so good and fresh! I was worried that my food might get cold because it was a 40-50 minute delivery front the restaurant but it arrived hot and fresh. Very pleased with my services with this restaurant and Uber Eats. Thank you!!!”

“I don't usually leave reviews but this place deserved one. From the moment I walked in the service and food was exceptional. I live in the Alton area and I wish we had a Chinese place this good!!!!”

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

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

“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!!! 🙌🏻”

“We went tonight for ice cream and Kathryn was beyond amazing. She noticed my son’s shirt and took interest in him and his interests. She was praising him and made his special night even better. It was nice having such a friendly, genuine face to walk into and chat with. She’s a great asset and hope to see her next time we’re in!”

“#5 light lettuce plus mayo, cut in half. It’s not spectacular but if the bread is fresh, it’ll work every now and then. JJ always gets order correct and fast drive thru service.”

“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.”

“Love having this place in town! A fast food restaurant that serves delicious, healthy food. Lots of different options as well. Any bowl or wrap you create is always good, hard to have a bad one. The only reason for a four star is that it’s not always consistent with the cooking. The last several times I’ve been it’s been excellent though.

“Viva La fiesta is my favorite local Mexican spot. The street tacos are really good, so is the chicken on the beach, and the fajitas, and I really like their queso fundido and choriqueso. They do a pretty good torta as well. I think the key to really enjoying this place is getting away from your typical white person Mexican food and trying some of their more unique or traditional fare. Also, super nice service every time I've gone here in person, and even when I order their food for delivery, it travels well and tastes great.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Good and prompt service.”

“Kylie was an incredible server!! My boyfriend had never had sushi before and she was super helpful with giving her expertise. She was also super friendly and provided great customer service. Sushi and drinks were also great.”
