“My family and I enjoyed the family-style fried chicken dinner..the food was fresh, and well seasoned! We will be back!“

“Went to the Iron whisk on a Sunday. We went early got there about 920 and waited an hour. We knew ahead of time we would have to wait and we were good with that. The Iron Whisk is very small I think there was a total of 13 tables. I had the train wreck breakfast sandwich and my husband had the wake n bacon. Both were so good. Even tho we had to wait awhile we said we would definitely go back. If you plan on going to the Iron whisk check out their website as it tells you to expect a long wait and they don't split checks.“

“Tea is good but too sweet- but please please dont use the restroom. Its TERRIBLE. The door handle and around the door is filthy and the toilet was worse than many gas station taco bathroom events. The sink is disgusting and the paper towel holder puts out a 1/4 inch st a time. Makes me wonder how clean their boh is with the fecal matter crusted inside the toilet“

“So I’ve been told, this is one of the original wineries in the Shawnee wine trail area. Great tasting wines! Wide variety of other, non-wine beverages, if you’re not the wino-type!! They even have a mascot, Junie the cat!! She’s adorable! Love the atmosphere & flexible spacious seating arrangements! Inside, outside & even an upper deck outside overlooking the vineyard! Grab your sweetheart & snag a picture under the beautiful huge Kissing Tree blessed w the blue bottles of winos-past!!?“

“Very good food. Authentic flavor. Very clean. Spotless inside and out.“

“Sam's Cafe has some great late-night food options! The owner and employees are always very nice and provide a great atmosphere for the business. I highly recommend stopping in and getting something great to eat. Always support our small-town businesses, especially when they provide good service and quality product!“

“Great food and great people. Buttered Noodles & Tooty Fruity Smoothie rock! (Also, Avocado Toast!)“

“This type of place is in my list of favorites not just for the great food but also the awesome service we receive every time we are there... I love the family-like/friends treatment we get and we are always full and happy when we leave... Thank you for being a Carbondale staple!!! Love you guys!“

“We recently celebrated a special birthday at Global Gourmet and was more than delighted with the service, food and hospitality given to us by our waiter and owner. We spent several hours there and wish we lived closer to have dinners on a regular basis.“

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The food was totally awesome. Service was super friendly and attentive. The facility is rustic and cozy. Everything was clean and well kept. We will be going back for more. It is a little out of our way but worth it.“

“05/06/24 Excellent breakfast restaurant. The staff was attentive and courteous.I had the stuffed biscuit & gravy which was absolutely everything the menu description made it out to be, and more. I would have it again but the homemade corned beef hash was a close second, which just means I'll have that the next time I visit.The owner even came around to ask about how our meal was, but refused to remake mine when I complained how horrible it was. I'm guessing my claim was less than credible with an empty plate in front of me.10/10 will visit again.“

“Such a wonderful vibe. The music, the food, and don't forget the cookies. Try the date walnut cookie and thank me later. For good measure buy a pink cookie, chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie, and a magic bar. I came back after 20 years, the location is different but the bakery and most importantly the bakers / owners are back in ownership and things have never been better. You need to experience a place that is part of Carbondale history.“

“This was the day I hit 3 times at Manny's slots. My daughter called me up with the "Mommy, I'm hungry" talk so I popped on over here and got the Cheesy Chicken Fiesta Nachos with extra white cheese on the sizzide. Super deliciouso! Muy bien!! Everyone wad nice and smiley. Food was THEBOMBDOTCOM!“

“It is one of my current favorite places to eat in town. I fell in love with the Honey Walnut Shrimp lately, and there are so many other dishes in looking forward to trying. It all looks delicious, the service is great, and it's a beautiful relaxing atmosphere.“

“First time trying Yamato in Carbondale today and it did not disappoint! They have updated the menu and are bringing something super cool and of quality to Carbondale! The owners are the sweetest people and really care about their product, and are always looking to make it better. And can you believe the new owner is only 24 years old??? Service was also great!Make sure to support this small owned business because it deserves it. Pictured are their Milk Tea, and Passion Fruit Tea, Chicken Yakisoba, and the “Lovers Boat”.“

“Only a couple of options for vegetarians during weekdays and nothing much on weekends. I wish they had more for vegetarians and vegans. We usually eat the vegetable bento box. We ask them to replace the California roll with vegetable roll since the California roll contains imitation crab which is not vegetarian.Vegetarian options: They have a couple of vegetarian options. They have a vegetable bento box but you have to replace the California roll with vegetable roll. They have a couple of sushi rolls and hibachi vegetables.Parking: They have good parking as part of the restaurant.“

“PKs is The Best Bar & Restaurant combo in Carbondale Illinois! There food is amazing, atmosphere will fit anyone, and customer service is always Outstanding! I was born here and without PKs Carbondale would not be Carbondale!Wheelchair accessibility: They make it happen!“

“Owl Creek vineyard is a must stop. Did I enjoy every single wine? Maybe. Maybe not. Was the service fine? Yes. It's a comfortable space with live music. We weren't there when the music was but there was a list on the wall which listed who will be performing and when. Outside on the patio was some vintage wine making supplies, some pieces I even recognized. Selections of wine and ciders are available and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. A selection of t-shirts was hidden to the right side of the bar. This vineyard is set up to stay for awhile and make yourself comfortable type of space. There is a cat roaming around who seemed to take a liking to me. I would come back, more likely when there was live music.“

“I've been enjoying Pag's pizza since 1978. The other mainstay place in town is mighty fine, but the thin crisp crust from a real brick oven really does it for me.Kid-friendliness: Like any family pizza joint. Ask for little balls of dough to play with.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a flat entry at sidewalk level and there's lots of room around tables.“

“Been here several times. All waiters are knowledgeable about the vegan options available so it's easy to choose from the menu.Vegetarian options: Most of the items in the menu can be made vegan and you can select tofu for the protein option. However if you ask the waiter they can tell you if the sauces used are vegan and they can leave it out if not. One of the waiters told us that the vegan appetizers are fried in the same oil as meat options so if you are particular that reduces some of the items you can order if you don't want to eat items fried in the same oil as other meat options.“

“I love primos and I'm pissed that the one in energy closed down. But thankful that Carbondale is still open. I love the pizza bowls without the crust. Don't need or want all the carbs. Please bring a new one back somewhere I don't like Newbys Pizza.“

“This is a no frills restaurant. No cotton table cloth, no fancy decorations or lighting. You walk to the counter order from the menu, grab a drink from the cooler, pay, and pick a table.Service is great! Staff was helpful.Then the magic happens. My food was presented at the table, and condiments brought.Now, the real reason I picked this restaurant. The food looked amazing, smelled so good, and tasted truly great.I got exactly what I came for, a really good meal! Never have I been disappointed. Come and see for yourself.“

“I really like the pizza. I could eat it for every meal. But the customer experience here is often not great. My spouse recently went to pick up a pizza we'd ordered over the phone. He waited in the parking lot for 20 minutes, knowing that's how long it takes to make the pizza, before heading into the drive through. When he arrived at the drive through window, they told him just a minute, then proceeded to ignore him as he tried to get anyone's attention for another 20 minutes. My pizza was cold and my spouse was pissed. I should have asked for a refund. A drive-through is supposed to be there to make the dining experience faster and more convenient. Don't have one if you're going to blow off your customers.Also, they have a $4 upcharge for salads if you want to take them to go, which is genuinely insane. When I've asked about this I was told it's because people were overfilling salads from the salad bar when taking out... which... if people are taking too much salad, just give them a smaller container?? I could understand a 50¢ upcharge, sure, but $4?? That's egregious.“

“I ate at Buffalo Wild Wings a few weeks back and Abby was my server. I mean….just WOW! She was very kind and very knowledgeable. I have never eaten here before so it was a pleasure having Abby help me out and look over the menu. She was very fast with my drink refills and was very fast with my food! Everybody should definitely request to sit in her section!!!! I know I will when I go back!“
