Restaurants near New Athens

“One of my favorite Italian restaurants to eat at! The quality of the food is amazing, the owner and staff are very friendly and the service is wonderful. I always order the Fettuccini Alfredo with is fantastic! Their Chicago Deep Dish is really good too! Their desserts are delicious as well and our favs are the lemon cello and tiramisu.”

“Angie, I have been going to the bullpen for quit of few years. Never once did I have an experience you are describing. We have been there when they have been very busy, never a problem!! I can’t imagine any waitress saying she needs a break and hope you’re not eating. I have never heard any waitress complaining about being busy or tired. They are a bunch of friendly hard working women. Their service is impeccable and so is the food!!”

“Just your average hometown Mexican restaurant. Food is always good, margaritas are always cold and delicious and the staff is always friendly. Don’t be discouraged if you see the parking lot full on a busy day, there’s plenty of room inside!”

“Nice relaxing place to Stay. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you are a boater or a fisherman or someone that just wants to sit next to the river and relax. Some sites might be a little tight for bigger rigs. I'm pulling a 35 ft fifth wheel with a F350 crew cab, 8 foot bed. I fit just fine!April 12, 2024”

“Kate and Kyle of Sling and Scoops are amazing! I used them for a build your own sundae bar at my birthday party and they could not have been any nicer or easier to work with. They set up a tasting for me to chose my flavors, worked with me on all the toppings I could want, set up a very fun ice cream kart and provided excellent service to all my guests. The ice cream is as good as if not better than their service. I cannot say enough good things about them and their product. Highly, highly recommend.”

“This little shack has the whole town interested in Ice Cream during the summer. All of these small towns have them and it doesn't matter how pretty they are as long as they get the job ”

“I have been going to The Coffee Pot for about 8 months now since I first got transferred to Cedar Trails in Freeburg, Illinois. Their coffee is always on point and I love their cute set up they have. If you are looking for an amazing cold brew or even some specialty lattes and sweets and you are in the Freeburg area, The Coffee Pot is CHEF APPROVED!! :)”

“Stopped in for a drink while passing through, it's a neat little place. It wasn't crowded and Liz the bartender cut up with us for some good laughs. I did not order any food but they did serve some amazing looking cheeseburgers and fries to some folks. The pickle shots were the best I've had so far, highly recommend trying one lol.”

“If you want a home cooked meal at a great price, this is the place! We had a wonderful Sunday morning breakfast that tasted like something my grandmother would make.”

“They have delicious cinnamon rolls IMO soft and sweet. The ladies are very nice and friendly. We were able to meet Trish the owner and baker which a superb and nice lovely lady. Definitely recommendable. My favorite rolls is the Bacon Maple rolls. Will definitely come back. Still need to try their other stuff like the snuggle dog and sausage roll!”

“Small, but great. Server was having a little bit of an off night but nothing was really bad. Just a little uncomfortable, like not realizing what dressing was on a salad and other minor things. Both steaks were perfectly cooked, unfortunately one was supposed to be medium well, it was beautifully medium.Bar and main dining room in one, but not too noisy with no bar seating.We will be back!”

“Fast, friendly and affordable carry out Chinese.Food is always flavored nicely, hot, fresh and consistant.Customer for over 7 years and never had a negative experience!5 stars.”

“The selection of top shelf is amazing and the bathrooms are clean ladies. The drag shows the midget wrestling the incredible bands on the soundstage. It’s a great venue.”

“1st of all never went inside. Saw a band play out 8n the Pavillion, Jeremiah Johnson was amazing as always. Got a pizza, really great too, definitely tasted homemade. Prices not too high, had a good time, but the Pavillion was a mite on the cold ”

“I wish they were 24hrs awesome staff. Everyone greeted me and my baby baristas that an Alaskan can love! Definitely a place to become a regular and support as a local shop!Kid-friendliness: Not a single one of the friendly ladies stopped playing with my baby's toes! Just sweet ladies!”

“Heard about the place and stopped in. Not disappointed. Good lunch, cold beer and great service. If you're passing through Fayetteville give it a try. Nice clean little place.”

“Great food! Please try their beer cheese soup! Yum! Salads are yummy, rolls are delicious. Husband got the fish and chips. Very good portions and great prices all in a historic building with atmosphere and great service.”

“The food was excellent. They do not skimp on ingredients. My father and sons ❤️ pizza was loaded, mine was loaded. Everything was great. The service was very good. She kept on coming back to see if we needed anything. Great atmosphere.”

“Chimichanga plate was delish. Guacamole is a bit on the spicy side for my liking, but I don't usually care for spicy food. Reasonable prices and food came out very quickly. Yummy! I will go back. The place was packed on a Tuesday night at 730pm.”

“Red Bud is so lucky to have an such an amazing brewery. They doing a great job of balancing the lighter beers (for the Bud Light crowd) with their hoppy IPAs and porter/stout options.”

“Not only is it faster than most drive-through fast food places these days (often our food arrives within barely minutes of us sitting down), but the folks are SO attentive to checking back in with you to make sure you have what you need. Everything’s hot, fresh, reasonably priced, and you get great service. They never pressure you to get moving when you’re just visiting with friends and family, and they seem to genuinely want to make sure you’re happy with your dining experience. We love this Tequila’s location.”

“Lucky Joe’s is like going to your best friends basement to hang out. You get what’s on hand and you can bring your own snacks. Everyone is cool with whatever is going on and it’s cheap. The bar girls are cool af.Sometimes the porch catches on fire, sometimes it smells bad but it’s ok, just drink more Stag and have a good time.”

“If you want to watch the game this is a great place to be. Service is always friendly. Food is pretty good bar food. Wish there were a few more high tables. We often go with a large group and that can be difficult if you're not there early enough for tables. But that says good things as its a busy place.I will say it seems several families think it is an indoor recess setting letting their kids run wild. I've never been to any other restaurant where parents think it's ok to let kids run between tables, up and down stairs, toss food around etc. While the staff has tried to control this (and there is an under 21 curfew) some parents think they can let their kids do whatever they want. It's a shame because this is clearly a sports bar restaurant. I've taken my little one there several times and managed not letting him run around like it's a playground.”

“I'd be willing to bet this is one of the cleanest sub ways in the region if not the USA. Way to go. Was a pleasure eating at your establishment.Parking: Need to fix pot holes”

“It was probably amazing but I keep telling Google that I didn't go there and insists I did. I was parked not far from it but I was just there killing time on the job”

“Best sandwiches in the area!!!!!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend if you driving past or just in the area or if you wanted to drive for a sandwich with the money ??”

“The perfect Sunday afternoon drive! Burnt Ends provided fuel for the journey. We chose a sample platter with hushpuppies and onion rings as sides. Fall of the bone ribs, Juicy pulled chicken, spicy hot link, and delicious brisket. The hushpuppies were perfectly seasoned, and the batter on the onion rings crisp and delicous. The sauces:sweet heat-balanced and my favorite. The mustard sauce paired perfectly with the brisket. A must stop in!!Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite, and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!”

“My son and I stopped in for a beer, was quite surprised. This place takes you back to pool tables, juke box, and locals having a good time together. Very nice tucked away bar, I plan to visit more often now that I know about it!”

“Just an awesome place to visit and hang with your friends and great to meet people who are also extremely nice! I stopped in for a drink and some ranch dressing and I was so glad I did…I met the best group of people that were really friendly and a pleasure to hang with! Highly recommend it if you’re in the area :)”

“My daughter and I came for lunch with my infant grandson. The food is good. If you dine in, they put your meal in to go containers and you pick it up at the counter just like it's to go.Parking: The parking lot is small but most patrons seem to prefer pick up so they're not parked very long.”
