13 Best American Restaurants near Murphysboro

“Last night was our first visit and it was amazing! The fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The French dip had the perfect crusted bun yet soft with great flavor. My son had his favorite beverage made to perfection.“

“An absolute staple of the community, hanging in the sweet spot between Murphysboro and Carbondale on Country Club Road and old 13. Great food, great service, and a strong family running it for generations. Treat yourself with a trip to Midland Inn.“

“The BBQ is always outstanding. This place literally sets the standard for all BBQ everywhere. I’ve had BBQ all over the country. Lots a great BBQ out there for sure, but there is none better than 17th Street. Even the sides are pretty good. This is where so many BBQ joints lose me is when they have terrible sides. We did order some potato skins and some fried pickles. Both were very good. There is a huge volume of fried pickles in one order. We got too much when we ordered 2 servings of them. Service is always good.“

“10/10 recommend!
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was the BEST I’ve ever had. I also had a bite of my fiancés cheese burger and our son’s chicken strips, they were delicious as well! Our waitress was Lillie and she was absolutely amazing, so friendly! The atmosphere is welcoming with such a great view anywhere you sit. One of the best parts, it’s kid friendly!“

“The Food is great, the staff are friendly, and service is quality. As with any restaurant you're going to have busy times. They're pretty good about having enough staff during the busy times but there is a wait time. If you order a steak they cook it right then! Overall it's great food and a great atmosphere.“

“I love to try new (to me), local eateries and this place did not disappoint. The burgers were amazing, fries were OK, but I'm not a fan of shoestring and that's not their fault. But what stole the show..... the corn nuggets.

FYI, the amount spent was due to shakes and ordering a few extras to try. Easily a $15 to $20 meal normally.“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorites!! The atmosphere is filled with nostalgia of celebrities that have passed through. The staff is friendly and always remember my face when I visit. (Hey Trina!!) The food is always cooked to order and delicious. I've never had to send anything back or complain. Definitely a place to try.“

“Food was good! I had the fish and chicken meal. Mac and cheese was decent, green beans was fire too. I ordered some sweet potatoes that I didn’t end up getting, I ain’t trippin tho. I’m sure they’re 🔥 too . Overall I definitely recommend. Oh yeah, the mild sauce was very good as well!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Love your decor and patio.“

“Flame is one of my favorite local restaurants. The ambiance is pleasant and the cocktails are good. All of their dishes are very well priced and everything tastes like it's made fresh. My go to is the lobster dip, crabcakes, and ribeye. They recently added creamed spinach as a side and it's very tasty.“

“So fancy! And so fun! A great place to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, or any spectacular special event in your life! Rotating weekend specials and fun drafts on drip to keep you thinking about your past eatery here; and dreaming about your return visit next time!“

“We’ve drove over from Cape two times now and had excellent food and just as good service both times. The service was outstanding and everyone has been very friendly.“
