Restaurants near South Roxana

“Awesome place to grab a few beers. Michelle behind the bar is super friendly and the locals are great to chat with. I was in the area to play some pinball at CP's next door and was happy to have a place to drink nearby.”

“Blue collar bar that nobody knows about unless you either work at the refinery or know someone who has been there. The food is good, owners are nice, and so far the bartenders have treated us right.”

“The food is always perfect and the prices are great for what you get. You never have to worry about not being full once you leave. Danny was a great help and he even gave us some great coupons! Spam Musubi is the best!”

“Good service, good food, and comfortable seating. If you're looking for some filling food and sweets this is the place for you. Also a good place to relax with friends.”

“We had so much fun! The two guys working were great at explaining everything and gave tips when needed. They were always smiling and made the experience very enjoyable. The interactive games they offer were fun! We will definitely be back.”

“Really nice spot to grab lunch. Service was amazing. Very cheery and great spirited wait staff. Veggie Sandwich, Mushroom Asparagus soup and of course the key lime pie was very delicious. The ambience was great. Highly recommend coming here for a bite if you are visiting Alton.”

“I went with a large group and we were all blown away by the amazing experience! Excellent food, service and ambiance. We couldn't get over how delicious everything was!!! Will definitely be back!”

“Excellent food and service. Best Italian in the neighborhood. Would have been 5 stars but they really need some type of window covering. It was around 5:30 or so and the sun was beating in my side of the tables eyes. You seriously couldn't see anything. Other than that, which lasted about 45 minutes, the place was perfect.”

“This is a mom & pop type diner. Nice blues and oldies music playing. Self-serve coffee area. I ordered waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon & extra bacon. Everything was good, but my bacon was cooked a little too hard where it crumbled up.We also ordered hashbrowns, turkey sausage and cream of wheat. Great customer service, friendly people and clean.”

“I said hi and got no response from a fellow customer. The counter person seemed business like but not welcoming. The building is unique and spacious. I did not see electrical outets readily available to charge phones or run laptops. It seem like a chic place to take your high school sweet heart, write about the good old days of steam boats or read a good novel. Not like your Starbuck for computers,tablet,iphones.... The spacious space is well lit and great for a couple of good friends to meet or people who know each other. Food came quick, but had to go to counter for butter and the such. Food was tasty and the rest of our interactions with the person who delivered the food and the young lady who handed me butter were redeemingly friendlier. There area for kids to play is close to the door well away from the majority of seating option.”

“It was very slow. Although the shop always has 10-20 customers, with 5 employees dishing all the orders out.Parking: The entire building is surrounded with plenty of parking.”

“I absolutely love this place and the crew here!! They know me by name and that could be good or I’m there a lot!!lol They came out the gate with many of options for drinks! They have mastered the bistro industry for sure!! The treats are good as well! Cakes are super moist and delicious! My all time favorite here is the cheesecakes!! The churro cheese cake is fabulous! I had to split it with my brother JJ and we were not disappointed! I’m not a big fruit person but this place has me eating fruit salads and other fruits!! Keep up the good work!! People that know me say you been to that coffee house yes!! I see them there now as well!!?”

“Hidden gem of Alton, Illinois! Got an oat milk, mocha latte and blueberry streusel cake both of which I would rate 5 stars. Coffee was the perfect blend of sweet, creamy, and bitter; streusel cake was moist, great consistency and had big, beautiful blueberries that carried wonderful flavor! Great atmosphere plenty of places to take a rest. They have a very friendly and attentive staff. I'm not a big drinker but I think it's amazing they offer adult beverages to anyone who wants a bigger pick-me-up. We will be frequenting Maeva's to try all they have to offer!”

“Oriental Spoon is my favorite restraunt! Their meals are not only delicious, there's a great variety to choose from. I've almost ordered every item on their menu over the years that I've eaten here and every item is fantastic. Mostly I've ordered take out recently since I live farther away, but in the past dined here as well. My only wish is that they have more locations. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“Shivers is an amazing local staple, I have never had a bad experience here. My personal favorite items are the Italian cream sodas, the cows (specifically root beer), and of course the concretes (I like vanilla with marshmallow fluff, banana, and sprinkles.)”

“Food was absolutely delicious! The wings are huge and priced right (we had breaded with mango habanero sauce). Garlic cheese curds are amazing. We also tried the Trash Can Dump. Excellent!! Food is homemade which is huge plus for me. Fast Eddies definitely takes the backseat here. Junkyard has way better food at much better pricing. .Great signature cocktails too. I recommend the Power Steering Fluid and The Mechanic. The owner was extremely attentive and works hard to keep customers happy.We will definitely be back!”

“Yall are really sleeping on this place. I’m not the one to really try new foods but this place made me want to try new things. Everything was amazing and the service was amazing. I will for sure be back here.”

Mom & Pop (Micheal the owner) environment establishment that's making meals that are great tasting and good size portions. I'll keep coming back. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.”

“Went to breakfast and had a traditional diner meal. Ham and cheese omelette, biscuits and gravy, and hash browns were delicious. The atmosphere made you feel as though you walked into the restaurant when it opened.”

“Wonderful food, atmosphere, and Cocktails.Smash burger was excellent and sophisticated with quality beef and pork, carmelized onions, and a soft potatoe bun. Fries are shoestring and a mix of regular and potatoe fries which was a nice surprise.Cocktails also well done and reasonable price.”

“We loved the charcuterie board! It was delicious and too much food for the four of us. Lots of cheese left over. I would have liked a little more fruit to the fruit to cheese ratio.”

“My small group stopped by Sneaky's prior to a concert at the Wildey Theater across the street. Sneaky's exceeded our expectations by far. Our waitress recognized we were in a slight time crunch, so she had us in and out in under 30 minutes. We ordered a double burger and tots with queso to share around the table. That burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! I'm a tough burger critic, but this burger was perfectly juicy, perfectly cooked, and the taste was god-tier. This will be the burger I compare all other burgers to. The tots are not to be forgotten! They were perfectly cooked, crispy outside and soft interior without the excess grease or taste of a fryer. Each one in our group made audible sounds when we ate our first tot and we kept going back for more! The Sneaky Sauce was delicious and very flavorful! I have a hard time thinking of something that wouldn't be good on. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Sneaky's and very much look forward to our next trip there! Until then, I'll be dreaming about how great they are!”

“There were a bunch of us, locals and out-of-state, so we called ahead and they said to come on down. We had a big long table and they did a super job of keeping the pizzas coming. Great flavors and choices. Our waitress, Nicole??, was very attentive along with the rest of the staff.”

“The pot roast taste just like how my grandma used to make it. Personally, I have never had one thing bad from here. I love that they have Ski soda. Homemade food in 5 minutes. Some may think that it is pricey but it is worth it. A Must Try!!”

“I had the King Arthur panini. It was delicious. We sat outside in December was toasty under the heaters. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere.”

“I tried this place today for the first time and had a great experience. I don't eat a lot of spicy food (they have a lot!) So finding something I wanted was tricky, but I LOVED what I got. I was going to get the broccoli Mac and cheese, but the employee at the register recommended the tortellini salad and wowza!! I ordered it without Brussel sprouts, and it was incredible.”

“Good burgers, chill atmosphere. Bourbon Burger and Arch Burger are my go tos. Wings are good as well. Everything I've ordered has been fantastic.Quick tip: If you're doing takeout, I would recommend getting a pretzel bun, as it travels better than a regular one.”

“One of my favorite brunch spots! Every item that i have tried in the menu, i have loved & you get what you pay for as far as quantity and quality! we are always greeted with a smile and taken care of ”
