“We went to next up for the 1st time yesterday. We heard about the décor and wanted to check it out I Was expecting a normal sports bar but it was way more than that.. to say the least the décor was highly impressive . But the best thing overall was the food. We all agreed that was probably one of the best burgers we've ever had . It looked like it came straight off of a food commercial and tasted amazing ! We will definitely be back!“

“This place is excellent!! The food is amazing. Highly suggest the Pulled Pork and Smash Burger. We got fries and Mac N Cheese as our sides. Fries were super crispy and Mac N Cheese was super creamy…both were delicious.

Service was also friendly and quick. Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday and got a seat immediately.“

“If you’re anywhere near 1428 Tap Haus, do yourself a favor and stop in. The atmosphere is exactly what a neighborhood spot should be...homey, welcoming, relaxed, and full of good people. You can tell right away this isn’t some cookie-cutter bar. It feels like the kind of place where strangers become regulars after one visit. Misty and her daughter Mystical were incredibly friendly and made all of us Missouri guys feel right at home. Great service, great drinks, live music, and just an all-around good vibe from the moment you walk in the door. You can tell a lot about a place by the people running it, and 1428 Tap Haus has the kind of warmth and personality that keeps you wanting to come back. Looking forward to many more nights there!“

“Great food, nice family atmosphere“

“Come hang out! Extreme bingo Wednesday nights!“

“My wife and I had lunch at The Vault and this is a place we will be coming back too. I had the Crack of Dawn burger without the avocado slice and it delicious. All burgers are smashed style which we prefer. I definitely recommend the Crack of Dawn. And my wife had the Nest with Swiss cheese vs the cheddar. The fries were seasoned and cooked
perfectly. The service is an order at the counter and they deliver to your table with a friendly staff. The restaurant was just remodeled and very inviting. Will be an excellent location to catch a Blues or Cardinal game with a group. We will be back!!!!“

“Ice cold drinks (seriously, one of their beverage coolers is 24F), amazing food, awesome bartenders who are ON IT, and always a friendly crowd!“

“Cool little bar. Decent priced drinks. Smells like my grandma's house lol. The have large bowls of Ohio chips! The bowls are pretty large so I would check for bacteria if you are squeamish. I'm not so I enjoyed the snacks. My friends not so much. But friendly staff and great drinks. Will be back when I'm in the area. I would say a middle aged is the typical crowd no crazy music or drama. Plenty of parking.“

“Love drinking here!👊🤘🍻🍻🍻🍻“

“Wife and I stopped by while doing our own little bar hop visiting Belleville. First 2 places we visited we weren't impressed with. Saw Demos while looking for other options. Walked in and immediately felt a very welcoming vibe! The bartender (Sam) was great, and she overheard we were hungry for a pizza. She came over and gave us several recommendations, and we ended up going with her personal favorite (Bennie's). Sam, it was really good!!! Thanks for helping out a couple of strangers!! We will be back!!“

And both locations are always clean and smelling good! And last but not least you can win money there too!!“

“Hosted a party and it was so fun. The food was amazing. Especially the chicken wings. Jeff and Christy are very accommodating. Tara is a great bartender. Highly recommend this venue“

“get the flour fried chips“

“Some lunches just show up…
and some take over the whole afternoon in the best possible way.

This was the latter.

We grabbed a table on the patio, soaked in that sun-drenched Belleville afternoon, and from the jump—it just felt right. Warm light, easy energy, that perfect mix of relaxed and lively where you instantly settle in and stay a little longer than planned.

And then the food hit.

The shrimp pizza? A total standout. Bold, creative, and perfectly balanced—one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite because you weren’t expecting it to be that good.

Then came the crunchy grouper… and wow. Crispy, golden, layered with flavor, and finished with just enough sweetness to elevate the whole thing. It’s the kind of dish that makes you rethink what you order next time… because now you want it again.

Now let’s talk drinks—because details matter.
The gin and tonic was spot on. Clean, crisp, beautifully balanced.

And here’s the twist—I didn’t even ask what tonic they used (which, if you know me, is borderline shocking). I trusted our waitress… and she absolutely delivered.

Speaking of her—she was fantastic. Warm, attentive, effortless. The kind of service that doesn’t interrupt the moment, it enhances it.

☀️ Final Take

Great patio. Great food. Great energy.

This wasn’t just lunch—it was one of those “let’s sit here a little longer” kind of afternoons. And honestly, that’s the magic.

Tavern On Main gets it right.“

“The Dutch Hollow Barn is a Great hideaway location with an atmosphere of friendliness, good food and they have Karaoke Thursday Nights. Stop by and enjoy yourself too cheap prices and real people to talk to.You can take my word for itI'm Buc Bergin“

“Under New owners! It's called Smitty's, the old (Centerfield) same owners as Smitty's in Troy,IL (old SunSet Inn) if you haven't been in to the location in Belleville yet, stop on in. Completely remodeled. New bartender line-up, new look, same fun time!“

“I LOVE this place! Always a lot of fun and make you feel at home! I go as much as I can, if I’m available, I’m there. They do fun stuff for the holidays too. I’ve never had the food but the guy is there on Sat nights for sure but I hear it amazing!“

“All around great place!!!“

“The lady working was really nice and it is just a good atmosphere very clean and inviting .I like going there after work and chilling down a little. I probably could have stayed all day! I would say Debbie's in Shiloh is a great local establishment and hangout.“

“Great wait staff! Food took a little bit of time but the wings are totally worth the wait!“

“Scott put his heart into the updated version of Big Daddy's 3.0. More dynamic than before with a variety of areas to enjoy gaming, game watching, eating, drinking and various events. We needed a sandwhich place like this on Main St to fill another gap and they are open on Tuesday!!! My favorite - The spicier Italian is perfect if you can handle the kick!“
