“Ate here while visiting St Louis and Illinois.. the food was terrific!! one of the best meals we've had here. wish they were in Atl!“

“I love locally owned places like this. They said they were known for their wings so that's what I ordered. I got the naked buffalo wings and they were tasty and CRISPY! I really liked the buffalo sauce they used, too. We also got the loaded fries and those were delicious. I love that they offer outdoor seating. Everyone who works here is really friendly, too. I would love to come here again!

Parking: They had a good size parking lot for a downtown area.

Kid-friendliness: They had giant jenga and connect four in the outdoor area.

Wheelchair accessibility: They had a wheelchair ramp for one of the doors.“

“Atmosphere is so warm & inviting! Service is always too notch and the food is delicious. St Elmo cocktail was delicious and the sweet & spicy wings are a must!“

“I highly recommend the French onion soup and Lottie’s house salad, very tasty! We also tried the chili and we could see why it has won awards… so delicious!

“Great food and service! I will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“The food and staff at 54th St in Glen Carbon are great but I REALLY HATE how after the remodel they can’t open the patio doors. What is the point of even saying you have a patio when it is all closed up.“

“I got a chance to meet the new owner, who was very nice! The food was delicious, and the customer service was great! Ill definitely be back!“

“Really good but please if you go there just be aware the portions are insane. I’m not sure why any restaurant would have portions this large. The kids meals are like an adult meal and an adult meal would serve two adults. I just wish we had known that because we were visiting from out of town so could not bring home any leftovers. I felt absolutely terrible wasting so much food.“

“I have been here 4 times in the last 2 weeks always amazing food, fast service, and a warm greeting from the amazing staff. My favorites are the meatball sub, sub on a club no mayo or mustard add ranch, and the hook and ladder. Definitely stop in and get an amazing lunch or dinner and don’t forget to sign up for their points program who doesn’t like free stuff!!“

“It was okay of a hamburger place. I'll probably go back. It was nothing like In -N-out outburger It was almost like a whopper from burger king. I'll definitely go back and try something different. But you don't have to take my word for it“

“Great food and such a fun time! We will definitely be back!“

“A shout out to the person handling the dining room and fountain soda. She was amazing and her customer service was outstanding. Date 6/15 Time 12:30 I hope you are able to let her know. Her name tag was hidden behind her apron or we would have had her name. Wow! Dawn Mushill, CEO Customer Service and Beyond“

“Normally I LOVE this place ... not tonight. 45 mins in the drive through to get a cold burger handed to me , minus my concrete. She said she would go back and get it. Waited 10 more minutes , went inside , the line is out the door . Asked for my concrete, they handed me a completely melted cup of custard .... I asked for my money back. They had plenty of help , but no organization . They were all running around doing 2 or 3 different things , not organized at all, The manger was no where to be found .. I was told she was in the bathroom. When she finally came out , she had an I do nit really care what your complaint is attitude . I got my money back and left ... normally the food is hot and fresh, it takes a bit , but I have never seen such a mess as tonight !“

“94%, definitely should be 100%!“

“Very nice n clean place to eat. Food was on time and very good. I will be back. Very friendly ppl and nice atmosphere.“

“They are always loving and caring employees! The atmosphere is so chill when you walk in. The food is excellent to the taste. It just saddens me cause I’m in Saint Louis and they aren’t open on the weekends 🥲the only time I can really get over there .“

“Consistent! Good food and the warmest customer service ever! It's been well over 10 years, each time the husband and wife greets with a smile. They make you feel like you're an old friend. Just amazing people! Thank you for the love of what you do. It makes the difference.“

“AMAZING place! Love the food & the staff. Always will go back.“

“The steak was so delicious and a decent size for the price. The steak didn't even need A-1 sauce. I did ask for my steak to be prepared Medium, instead my steak was uneven in temperature, to where part of the steak was medium and part of it was well-done. Food was fast. Waiter was nice and helped pick out that drink pictured. It was all great, I just wish the butter came out a little softer.“

“Great little place we visited on a whim from out of town to meet a friend.

We were seated politely in the back area with lots of patio umbrellas on a nice deck porch.

We had lunch, but it looks like they have live music and a really great atmosphere for the evenings for anyone looking for a great place to chill with friends and a very relaxed atmosphere outdoors.

The bacon popcorn was really great. I had a chicken sandwich that was pretty good (maybe the chicken was a tiny dry) and my husband really loved his Cuban sandwich.

I would definitely try this place again on a Sunday afternoon

Parking: Pull into the back to park“

“We hadn’t been at Horseshoe for a number of years, but lately it seems to be one of our go to restaurants. Have only had to take back my food once (a rarity for me). The food, wait staff and jukebox is what brings us back. Was there today with my son who’s disabled. He hates getting out of the house, but loves the jukebox. (He likes singing to his favorite song (The Star Spangled Banner). The staff is attentive and a special shout out to Kim. We were celebrating a special weekend for me. Realizing that the chicken strips means chicken “nuggets” to him, made my day. (It’s the little things.)“

“enjoyed my visits there shout out to barb schaeffer n her performance as a waitress she does a great job !!“

“Amazing food and Ariana is an awesome server. We were so happy we tried this place on a whim! Side note: the Brussel sprouts were literally the best I’ve ever had AND they have the good ice. 🤣“

“We are huge fans of their pizza, salads and wings. Today I veered from my usual and ordered a reuben sandwich. I had an outrageously fabulous Ruben on the Jersey shore many years ago that was totally amazing. Sybergs was easily right behind that! I ordered extra kraut. The corned beef was not tender, but I ordered extra kraut, which was tender and so flavorful. The corned beef and kraut were layered like a lasagna. The sauce pushed it all over the top! Mmm...look forward to ordering it again!“

“Great place for bbq!“

“hands down the best bar restaurant in Collinsville Illinois food is fantastic they're Pizza can't be beat Philly steak cheese sandwich hands down the best around and let me tell you about the french fries the best staff is phenomenal Nikki is the best waitress around and Copo is the best bartender and general manager“

“When I'm in town, I always make sure to stop for breakfast at Red Apple. No matter how long between visits, the employees all remember my regular, a giant Red Apple Omelet and wheat toast. They treat customers like family and are always welcoming“

“I went to the Fairview Heights IL and the staff. and the food was excellent and on point. I am a stickler for good service; and they hit on the head. The entire experience was wonderful. thanks“

“Had a damn good time. Stopped in Saturday after spending the day at the racetrack outside of town to watch the Alabama / Georgia game, and we decided to try a bunch of their wings and drinks. The wings were awesome and perfectly fried, and all of the sauces we tried were delicious. I had plans to try other things on the menu while we were there, but 30 wings later, and I never made it any further. It's definitely a nice spot, and I see why all of the locals like it.“

“I won’t say I don’t recommend as we’ve been there a couple times before and had a great experience! Last night neither of us enjoyed what we ordered, our fault, we both went against what we were going to originally order….we ate it, it’s fine, you live and learn. Our waitress is what left a bad taste. It’s like she instantly had something in her head about us or we weren’t one of her regulars that she had to cater to as she was sitting, laughing and chatting with those around us. Not friendly, short answers and would set our drinks down after being told thank you and just walk away. The only time there was even a hint of friendliness is when it came time to pay.“

“Me and some coworkers went out for lunch here. They appeared to be short staffed thus longer than usual wait times. Won't fault them for that too much. Servers were great, food was good and even a manager helped us. All around great place to eat, have a drink and watch sports. 9/10“

“Good food. The staff is outstanding. In particular, they've made our grandson feel very special when we've celebrated there on his birthday. They're all very nice, kind, and patient!“

“Stephanie was wonderful and I’m so sorry for my child getting you with the vampire teeth“

“We go to this Dennys a lot. Our 2 favorite servers are Kim K. And Erika M. They always provide excellent service. And they're friendly.“

“Kids eat free almost every night! Can’t beat that! The service is fabulous and the food is amazing!“

“Great Selection, Quality, and customer service“

“The food is fantastic! The staff are always nice and welcoming. Saturday steak night is the best! 10 out 10!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I can't say enough about this restaurant, and especially the manager, Jamie. I am traveling and placed an Uber Eats order with this restaurant. After a two hour debacle with Uber Eats, which ended in the driver stealing my food, and Uber Eats canceling my order, I finally called the restaurant to find out what actually happened. That's when I first talked to Jamie. She took the time to go listen to my story, and then go through everything that happened on their end. She even tried to contact Uber Eats, to find a way to fix the situation. She called me back several times, as she promised. While she wasn't able to help me get any satisfaction out of Uber Eats, she went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I wish I found more people with her work ethic and desire to help, during my travels. Thanks Jamie!“

“I do not recommend this place the first girl that waited on us today was nice. She was great asked us after 3 if she could check us out cause another girl was coming in we said yes. The other young lady asked my finance if he needed a beer and he said yes and we wanted a to go order also. That girl walked by us 3 times didn’t wait on us and threw her hair around like she didn’t give 2 shits.“

“we loved their food, you get a decent amount too for such a great price. we came for first time today to eat with our 3 young boys. we will be back again in future. (we live about a half hour away)“

“Showed up with a huge group for breakfast- felt bad about overwhelming the staff but they were terrific. Sat us immediately and assigned one server (Sam - PHENOMENAL) so the rest of the restaurant wasn’t negatively impacted. Everything went super smoothly and she was just great. Food was perfect!!“

“Kids eat free almost every night! Can’t beat that! The service is fabulous and the food is amazing!“

“We went for my birthday last Friday. service was fantastic. very attentive and prompt. The food was fantastic. I had prime rib which was perfect and the other three with me said how good their's was too. Thanks for a wonderful evening!“

“The foot long hot dawgs, B.L.T's !“

“Edwardsville location is great! They always get my somewhat difficult order correct. Always greet me when I walk in and keep me updated with my order. Great, friendly staff. Please put the Chicken Philly On the online ordering so I can remember to get my reward points! :)“

“Delicious food. Nice reasonable prices. Highly recommend this restaurant.“
