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!”

“Everything was excellent! we will be back”

“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!”

“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. 🤣”

“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.”

“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 !”

“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!”

“Great place, Amazing Service and the food was excellent.. Highly recommend..”

“Delicious food, great drinks, friendly service, comfortable settings are what come to mind regarding this restaurant. It's definitely one of my FAVORITE restaurants in the area.”

“Great service, great for a private event. Loved it! The waiter was very nice and helpful to the guests.”

“Scotty’s is an amazing place with an awesome atmosphere! The food is absolutely delicious especially the wood fired pizza and buffalo chicken dip. They have crazy good specials on game days with .75 cent wings and $20 buckets! It’s a perfect place to hang out with friends and family.”

“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.”

“I hosted a last minute, 60+ person going away party for my kid's soccer coach and the staff and Barrel & Bru were outstanding to work with. They were not only accommodating but went above and beyond to make sure our large party was comfortable, well fed and always had a drink. The food was amazing (crinkle fries forever!!!!) and the service and hospitality was even better. We had a lot of kids with us and they were so patient and nice. AND they even made a custom (alcoholic and NA) slushy drink in honor of our coach. Truly cannot say enough amazing things about this great local business! We will be coming back often!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We had a party of 13 recently come in and had great service! The weather was great, the big window was open and a 2 man band playing! Our group had a great time!”

“Definitely recommend! Pizza was Next Level & the service was Amazing🤍”

“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.”

“I ordered online and got errors stating problems with website on 12/16. I stopped by as it appeared that everything went through including the charge. I stopped by the store and the manager saw what I was seeing and worked with me to get my order processed (which was not easily resolved). He was very patient and helped get my order processed. Very nice, friendly, and helpful staff.”

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

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

“The ice cream is very good, but...don't plan on any "naughty" flavors at the Edwardsville store, probably ever. That aspect is very disappointing. Service is great, atmosphere good. The owners should be up-front and post "no boozy flavors" on the Edwardsville website, not just a sign inside (after you're already inside the store). The ice cream was very tasty, but I was craving something "special".”

“The staff is so incredibly nice and helpful. They make the best coffees and smoothies and always have such positive vibes. Haley is always so welcoming and kind!!! Love the meal options as well. Perfect for on the go healthy options.”

“Love the staff, product and the fact that they allow me to bring my pups!”

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

“Ummm ok, we could not breathe when we left because of how much we ate. Everything was SO delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly (shout out to Alex!!!). It was a cozy environment and felt like I was eating at an auntie’s house. This is going to be a spot I crave and will frequent from now on. 10/10 highly recommend!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.”

“Loved our Turkish eggs and avocado toast so much we came back for an encore before leaving the area. Cafe Birdie is a wonderful cafe with delicious food, great lattes and pastries. Highly recommend!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“The SWEETEST staff members EVER! My friend and I took her girls here for Halloween and they were dressed as a CFA worker and cow! The girls were SO excited to show them their costumes and the staff was AMAZING! They made them feel so loved ‼️”

“I absolutely love this bar! The new food menu is fantastic, and every visit has been a great experience. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the bartenders and servers consistently provide excellent service.”

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

“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 family enjoys riding our bikes up to the store all the way from Troy and rewarding our successful trip with a variety of savory and sweet kolaches. Recently, when I needed some sweet goodness in a pinch, the staff went above and beyond, boxing up a wonderful variety for me as they were closing to give my daughter and her friends for her birthday! Not a bite was wasted!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“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.”

“Food was good and fresh. Peeps running the place struggled to pay attention to what the order was and needed repeats of questions they had just immediately asked. Not a huge detail, just a little scattered and not real busy. Place is tiny and parking lot is right, hence the 3 for atmosphere. Layout is weird and hard for people to que up and order.”

“Best onion rings in the area! Great fish too”

“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.”

“An absolutely amazing restaurant with delicious food no matter the day, festive atmosphere with respectful and welcoming staff and mesmerizing wall artwork! Have been here plenty of times throughout the year and every time I want to try something new I am never disappointed!!! Also lovee their virgin Piña colada mocktail!”

“Amazing noodles!! I will be coming back for food!!”

“I placed an order through app and picked up at the time app said order would be ready. I've done this several times before with no issues. Today I met Aaron at the counter & the order was not showing up in the system. Well Aaron quickly apologized & blamed himself for maybe not looking in the right spot for the order or maybe their system is messing up. I offered to pull up order from the app on my phone and wowwee..My order was set for the time I showed up but for 10 days later. Not sure why that specific date was set on my phone but clearly I was the problem and I was so embarrassed for that error on my end. Aaron was so kind and extended such grace to me. I apologized right away and he said no worries everything was fixable; easy to resolve. He also joked with me about coming back for another cake order for that later date; which I do plan on coming back for a bigger order anyways; especially for upcoming Holidays. Bravo to Nothing bundt cakes for their staff, customer service, quality products & safe, calm, happy environment. Thank you Aaron for being phenomenal! I hope you get all your prayers answered & cool gifts this Christmas. Heehee”

“great food and reasonable prices”

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

“This place is a hidden gem in Edwardsville. The food at this place is phenomenal and the portion sizes are very generous. They always make the food hot and fresh. They always throw in a few new things for me to try as well. The chicken tikka masala and chili chicken are my favs. The staff are the kindest people I have ever interacted with at a restaurant. They only offer take out, but I promise it’s so worth it!”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“Global Brew is a great place for craft beer lovers to hang out and enjoy some great beers, watch sports, and listen to live music occasionally. The food is pretty good and the staff is friendly. Service could be better but overall this is a great place to hang out.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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! :)”

“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.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“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”

“Was at Edwardsville location on 3/5 for lunch. Don’t know the server’s name but she was terrific. Very genuinely friendly, not the fake kind a lot of servers portray. Food was fantastic and will make you want to return. The only complaint was the music, wasn’t the preferred old rock that was playing when first arrived.”

“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!!! 🙌🏻”

“Such a great experience! Emma was super helpful and answered all of our questions! She made us laugh, and the whole environment was really welcoming :) 10/10 recommend will be back 😊”

“The food is always good, the menu has a wide variety to choose from, and the staff is friendly. This is one of the only American Legions that has a golf course and is open to the public. They are also able to host fairly large meetings in their meeting room. This American Legion also has an adult gaming room. We enjoy our American Legion Post 199 very much, and recommend it for dining, golfing, having a meeting, or just enjoying a cocktail at the bar.”

“the lady with the cool colored hair & a leg sleeve aswell as the younger gentleman with longer hair was 10/10!! they were amazing to talk to and super nice!! the food was amazing as well! super nice workers!”

“This is the best dutch bros around. Everyone is friendly and my drink is always perfect.

Wait times are a little long sometimes, but I don’t mind and neither should the boomers leaving reviews.

5 stars!”

“An absolutely insane experience in a good way. the family that runs it is very nice, a small and cozy restaurant with food that blows my mind. its cheap enough for anyone to afford and is incredibly delicious. It is affordable, fast, and delicious. The portions are enormous and no matter what you will have leftovers.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Wonderful service , food and environment! Highly recommend”

“Had lunch there for the first time. The Chiles Poblanos was amazing. I get it at every Mexican restaurant I visit. It is my favorite place hands down. My grandson adored the Mexican Street Corn and tacos. The staff were very friendly and did their jobs well. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. Will definitely return.”

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

“awesome waitress and very friendly”

“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.”

“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”

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

“Love the fried fiesta tacos”

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

“The food was delicious. The restaurant. It tasted fresh, clean, and not made with a ton of salt or MSG.
The portion sizes are generous and served with rice.
The food is prepaid quickly. The restaurant is decorated in traditional Chinese decor. I almost feel whisked away to a different time and place. One where life is simple, peaceful, and pure.
I highly recommend this establishment.
Order online or dine inperson. Support this local establishment.
There is plenty of free parking. The restaurant is kid friendly.”

“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!”

“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!”

“The BEST one in Glen/Ed area! The service is always on point. They know their customers damn near by order! I will go out of my way to come to this one because of the staff and the way they know how to execute my drink to perfection. They even take your orders like they want to be at work!! I enjoy them so much. Thanks to this staff for being great!”

“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.”

“1st the food is delicious I love Freddys, But yesterday I had a small problem. I'm the type of person that doesn't Like to complain and I hate confrontation but Megan was so nice and helpful. She fixed the problem immediately and with a smile. With food and employees like Megan, it's always a good experience at Freddys!”
