A looper's dream. Easy docking, friendly staff and the best fried fish on the river. I had the fried catfish fritter sandwich. It's way more than a sandwich. š Perfect dinner, drinks and dessert. Sit relax, watch the boats go by on this wide section of the Illinois River. You can watch the lift bridge go up and down for the barges and the prices are super reasonable. Also indulged in a peach daiquiri made from the owners orchard. Ask if there apples are in season. š„§

Mediocre. Foods bland but at least it was cooked all the way. VERY noisy environment not a pleasant experience. I give a three put of decency.

Barefoot Restaurant has a nice, laid-back atmosphere and beautiful views of the Illinois River. Thereās also a great play area for the kids, which makes it a perfect spot for families.

We stopped in today for the first time. It was after the dinner rush close to closing. The staff was very friendly. We had the pork chops family style and the catfish fritter dinner. Both were delicious and arrived in a reasonable time. The staff checked on us frequently and made sure we were taken care of. Great comfort food. It was exactly what we were expecting. I grew up going to the original location when I lived in jerseyville, and the new location does a good job of carrying the same vibes. The menu has lots of choices and the prices are very reasonable. Great job bringing it back, and Iāll definitely be back when I am back in the area.
Almost forgot to mention the new location is great for river and bridge views. Lucky to have barges passing by and watching the bridge being raised and lowered.

The food was good it was all you can eat crab legs service was terrible all kinds of waitress running around but no one came back to ask us if we need more crab legs or anything very pricey for not get all we could eat didn't even try to make it right when we went to pay
Had a yummy lunch at barefoot on a Sunday. I ordered a Roquefort salad and catfish fritters (sans bread). The food came out so quickly, our waitress kept our drinks filled, and you canāt beat the prices. My dad ordered a cheeseburger which he said was enjoyable.

This was my first time at the new location and what a great experience. The food is better than I ever remember (and I'm old enough to remember going to the Barefoot barefoot 50 years ago!). The portions are really generous and the staff was super friendly. It was a nice day so we sat outside and watched the river. We will definitely be going back!
