“5 Stars - Wonderful Gluten-Friendly Experience!

I visited Olive Garden around 4 PM for an early dinner, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. There was no wait, and I was warmly greeted and seated right away. Patty, my waitress, was attentive and friendly, immediately bringing water to my table.

I try to avoid gluten and count calories, so I was thrilled to see the gluten-friendly options on the menu. I ordered the gluten-free rotini pasta with marinara sauce, paired with two orders of gluten-free grilled chicken, and the classic salad with no croutons. Everything tasted delicious, and when my meal arrived, Patty noticed that the chicken portion seemed small. Without hesitation, she brought me additional grilled chicken, ensuring I had a satisfying meal.

The food was wonderful, and the customer service was even better. Olive Garden truly made it easy for me to enjoy a tasty, gluten-free meal. I will definitely be back!“

“I had the pleasure of meeting a spectacular employee yesterday. Kaylie greeted me outside with a cheerful attitude and assisted me beyond expectations. Chick-Fil-A usually has above average service in my expiernce but Kaylie really helped brighten my day. I just wanted to take a sec to thank her and give her a shout out. It was a very cold day and I was impressed that she could remain so positive while working outside. Thanks for the great service and Merry Christmas, if I pass through Fairview Heights IL again I'll know where to grab lunch.“

“The gentleman in the front working between the hours of 3pm - 4pm on Nov 16th was so polite and displayed excellent customer service! I'm so sorry I didn't get your name, but you are great and deserve recognition!When i first went here, a young woman at the register was really rude. But after giving it a second try, the experience was much better! Please keep more staff like him!Also, the food was good both times :)“

“I love bread company and I normally come to do my studying for school because of the quiet environment and great bagels and tea. Today a complete stranger came up to me and gave me a giftcard. She noticed I was a student and told me she knows how hard it can get, and to not forget to eat. I was so shocked and thanked her quickly. However I want to give another huge thank you to her. That definitely made my day. It’s nice to know there are still such kind people out there. Thank you again 😊😊“

So happy to have found this place and will be trying everything on my next visits. Oh, the baklava …. 😋 This cuisine is authentic and the seasonings make the dishes delicious. Good value as well.“

“Bennie’s Pizza Pub in Belleville is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a laid-back, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're here for a casual night out or grabbing a quick slice, this place delivers in every way.

Let’s talk about the pizza—phenomenal! The crust has the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, with just the right amount of char from the wood-fired oven. The toppings are fresh and generously portioned, and the cheese has that perfect melt and stretch. We tried a few different options, but the standout was their signature Bennie’s Special—every bite was loaded with flavor. If you love a little heat, their spicy options won’t disappoint either.

Beyond the pizza, the beer selection is fantastic. I did not try any of them, but they had a good choice. They offer a great mix of local and craft beers that pair perfectly with their menu. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and service was quick even when the place was busy.

Bennie’s strikes that perfect balance between a casual, fun vibe and seriously good food. It’s easy to see why locals love it. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, you won’t be disappointed. This place is a must-visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Parking: Former St. Louis Bread/Panera location. You would not know if not told.“

“We stopped in a couple of Sundays ago for a cold drink. So many choices! our lemonade and strawberry shortcake drinks were tasty and refreshing. Staff and other patrons were like old friends. This is a very welcoming, friendly place with outstanding people. We enjoyed our visit and will be back!“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating 2 birthdays. The food was EXCELLENT and Rose made everything perfect. Although we have been there before our other friends we newbies and they loved it ❤️. WE WILL BE BACK ❤️❤️“

“This is by far the best Chickfila location, which sounds like an exaggeration, but trust me, it's not! The staff are so incredibly friendly every time I go. Phil is one of the dining room attendants. He is so quick to clean the tables, refresh beverages, and make personal connections with the guests all the same time. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The fries are always fresh and have the perfect amount of salt on them--which is important to me as fry lover. My order is correct 99.9% of the time that I'm there. I love that I feel confident exiting the drive thru line, knowing that my order has been correctly fulfilled. This Chickfila location very clearly values quality all around, which is hard to come by these days. Overall, I have nothing, but great things to say about this Chickfila!“

“Delicious food. Nice reasonable prices. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Best Imos around, I always ordered from Fairview heights location. Last time we did I got aImos extra special sandwich, the food was rotten. They wouldn't replace sandwich. So we tried the Imos in O'fallon and never a problem, if so they make it rite. We spend a lot of money, it's our favorite place to eat. So glad O'fallon Imos cares about our business.“

“The service could be improved in terms of speed. However, the waiter was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was adequate but not particularly remarkable. The food, on the other hand, was excellent. The lasagna and pizza were both delicious. I will definitely be returning to this establishment.“

“My favorite place in the whole world!“

“I love this Panera!! Whatever the crew is doing, they are absolutely fantastic each and every time! I sometimes come to study, grab some lunch or breakfast and even recently pick up dinner for my family. They’re always quick and efficient, and food is always hot and fresh. I really appreciate the work these people put in. They should keep up the stellar work because they are seriously kicking some butt. :)“
