30 Best American Restaurants near Hamel

“Local dive bar feel, but food is excellent. Breakfast is our family's favorite, and you get a lot of food for a great price. Pro tip: get the pancakes to replace your toast with breakfast.

My dad was a line cook for many years and claimed the Reuben sandwich was even better than he used to make it. Haven't had a bad thing on the menu, and the servers are personable.“

“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!“

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

“The Boneless wings were awesome & the mild Buffalo was amazing....LOVE the homade ranch. If u get the horseshoe, get the Buffalo fries instead of crinklecut. I ate Stuffed Pork Chops here Sooo many years ago. I would Love to see them make a comeback or get the recipe.“

“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!!“

“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“

“The food and staff at 54th St in Glen Carbon are great but I REALLY HATE how after the remodel they can’t open the patio doors. What is the point of even saying you have a patio when it is all closed up.“

“First time trying it and it was good! Their ranch is amazing. Pretty fast and chicken strips was thick. I got out to my car and the ranch wasn’t enough so I went back in and before I could ask the lady was like want another ranch? lol! Only downfall is cash only, although I had some on me I don’t always, so come prepared with cash to avoid atm fees.“

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

“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 won’t say I don’t recommend as we’ve been there a couple times before and had a great experience! Last night neither of us enjoyed what we ordered, our fault, we both went against what we were going to originally order….we ate it, it’s fine, you live and learn. Our waitress is what left a bad taste. It’s like she instantly had something in her head about us or we weren’t one of her regulars that she had to cater to as she was sitting, laughing and chatting with those around us. Not friendly, short answers and would set our drinks down after being told thank you and just walk away. The only time there was even a hint of friendliness is when it came time to pay.“

“Nice old style dinner. Great Philly cheesesteak.“

“Had a great time Saturday night meeting new people and seeing some of our friends who came out to our debut at Slotzy's Inc ! 💚 Special thanks to the owners and staff for having us! 😊👍 This place is extremely nice inside and has a stage with a large dance floor! 🎶💥 We have no further dates scheduled here but hope to be back soon again! ☮“

“The Country Inn has the most welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, great customer service, and most importantly- AMAZING food. You cannot go wrong choosing the Country Inn for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Highly recommend😋“

“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)“

“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! :)“

“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!!“

“love this place, great place to enjoy great drinks and good company!!“

“The food was great and the employees were super friendly. Will definitely be 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!“

“If you like local dive bars and pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is the bomb ? The staff is friendly and most of the regulars are too. Lol. They also have an AMI jukebox, an ATM machine, several TV screens to watch sports games, and video gambling machines. They have a back patio with seating for smokers and they usually have heat out back when they remember to refill the propane tanks. It’s usually just one bartender waiting on everyone and making the pizzas in their pizza oven. Drink a cold one and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait. ??“

“7 of us gathered from Illinois, Florida and Missouri for lunch. From the minute we stepped in the front door and were greeted. We felt special and like family. Such welcoming, friendly staff. Service was great. Food outstanding. The atmosphere was perfect for allowing us to reunite and catch up on lost time.“

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

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

“I would like to shout out to
my favorite breakfast waitress
MAKENNAH C
0221113
She brought fresh drinks, before the first ones were totally empty
Check only a couple of times to make sure the food was good. I like not
being bothered five times while eating & having conversation with a friend.
Makennah was very respectful in that
she didn't bother us.
IHOP in Edwardsville Illinois“

“A beautiful rustic scene with an updated vibe, great food, cold drinks, an the regular customers are a blast to joke with. This place definitely rocks it with it's staff's personality and charm. You'll love every minute being here.“

“It is a fast food place and you order from a kiosk, so unless I am asking for something, I will not rate the service.
Let's talk about the food. Steak and shake is the original smash burger. In the fast food world, the burgers are my favorite ... the mustard-pickle relish is yum.
They have also changed to all beef tallow grease for the fries and in the process have gone from great to greater!
Love this place.“
