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.

The service is usually pretty good (unless swamped)

The Barefoot Restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with potato wedges being a standout. The chicken livers are decent but could benefit from additional seasoning for better flavor. The river fish sandwich is recommended for those craving seafood, and the fried catfish fritter sandwich is noted as more than just a sandwich. The steak and fish dishes have received mixed reviews, with some finding them lacking in taste. The restaurant's atmosphere and hospitality are appreciated, and it has improved since its opening.
With a nice, laid-back atmosphere and beautiful views of the Illinois River, the restaurant is perfect for families, featuring a great play area for kids. The staff is friendly and attentive, frequently checking on customers. The menu has many choices, and the prices are very reasonable, including a Sunday special of all-you-can-eat family-style fried chicken and fixins.
The new location offers excellent river and bridge views, where customers can watch barges passing by and the lift bridge go up and down. The food, including pork chops and Roquefort salad, is delicious, arriving in a reasonable time. The restaurant provides a pleasant dining experience with room for improvement in certain dishes, making it a great spot for both dinner and breakfast.
