“We have not been back to this Cracker Barrel since our last bad experience. BUT tonight 5/31/2024. Halle was our server ❣️. Not only she was super busy she was attentive, smiled, courteous and gave super service KUDOS“

“Let's start with the food, when we went it was early afternoon when most places haven't finished cooking today's food and you get leftovers warmed up in a microwave, NOT HERE! Wife got the wings, I got a 2 meat platter with pulled pork and grilled shrimp. Both of us were impressed, the food was outstanding and the staff was top notch! Very friendly and the place had more than enough room for my wife's power wheelchair to maneuver comfortably. We will be back!“

“Burgers are really good and waitress was very friendly. Wouldn't recommend it if you're in a hurry though, it did take a good amount of time to get our food.“

“Wonderful establishment!! Heard of them through a sponsorship they recently did. Gave them a try. The Charcuterie borad was amazing. Definitely worth a look!!“

“We live 2 hours north and were in town for a Band Competition, we stopped in to eat. Our server Jordan was fabulous. With it being our first time there the manager sent us some free deviled eggs to sample! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, so tasty! They were a little busy with several parties and took a little longer to get our food but our server was attentive and apologetic for the wait. We were not mad or upset about the wait, totally understand when it’s busy. The manager gave us a free dessert for the wait. The customer service is top notch and they seem to care about the customers. And a plus that the food is delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! We will def be back!“

“A hidden gem. The food is always delicious. A must try for breakfast. The omelets are huge and could easily be shared. The pizza is delicious, my husband and I think their pizza is some of the best pizza around. They have a large selection of salad options for lunch and portion sizes are great. I have never had a bad meal here. My husband and I eat here 2 or 3 times a month, usually for a late breakfast or early lunch on Sunday and have always had a great experience.“

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

“Went for dinner on a Sunday. Great food specials, quick service and cold beer. Almost all parties dinning had a kid with them so definitely a family friendly environment. Pizza is delicious!!“

“This upscale bar and restaurant has amazing drinks, delicious appetizers, outstanding entrées with sides and desserts to match; and a phenomenal staff/atmosphere. We were greeted by Simmi, a very gracious and warm hostess. Simmi made us feel right at home and we seated right away as we did have a reservation. We ordered a salad which was delicious with homemade dressing and crunchy croutons, the fillet which had a scrumptious tomato jelly topping and the meat was tender, juicy and scrumptious. The mac & cheese was mouthwatering, yummy and to die for. We were so stuffed that we skipped dessert but I have been there before and they are incredible. Our waiter was outstanding and very attentive. My favorite steak restaurant USED to be Texas Roadhouse however, it was and still is a hit or miss as the Dallas fillet would be raw and still mooing or dry and tough. The price at restaurant House of Bourbon match the amazing taste flavor and and is worth every bit of the upscale price. If I’m going eat a steak, I want it to be perfect flavorful juicy and tender and that is what I received at the 1933 House of Bourbon. Thank you, Simmi, Bernard, Chef, Cooks and Staff for an outstanding experience. We will be back😋!!!“

“A BIG THANK YOU for donating cheeseburgers, all the toppings, macaroni and cheese to 100 OTHS Varsity Football Players and Coaches before their game tomorrow! So generous, so delicious, and so lucky to have a local business that supports our local schools and supports“

“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 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!!“

“Had eggs, country fried steak, hash browns, toast and coffee. Gravy for the country fried steak was delicious. Other items were also tasty. Eggs perfectly cooked. Coffee was great. Service was prompt and staff friendly. Televisions on the wall so you can watch tv while eating. Couple next to me had an omelette and biscuits and gravy said they were delicious. Next time I’ll try their pancakes or French Toast.“

“My husband and I had lunch there a couple weeks ago. The service was fantastic. The food was great! I recommend it highly.“

“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“

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

“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 !“

“An awesome restaurant! I always get the fajita and my son gets the gyro. Absolutely the best everytime. I want to try other items, they all look great, but I love the fajita and I can't make myself order something else!! The building is an old taco bell, with restrooms outside. That's the way it was built, at least it's clean and the couple that run this are the kindest. Looking for great food no frills needed, this is the place.“

“94%, definitely should be 100%!“

“I ordered online and got errors stating problems with website on 12/16. I stopped by as it appeared that everything went through including the charge. I stopped by the store and the manager saw what I was seeing and worked with me to get my order processed (which was not easily resolved). He was very patient and helped get my order processed. Very nice, friendly, and helpful staff.“

“First walk in place was very clean and tidy. Also cashier was ready to take our order. Spoke clearly and recited who order back to me. Food took no more than 10 min with no issues and fresh. Ordered alot of dressings and didnt forget a single one. Highly recommended“

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

“Food was phenomenal! HUGE portions! Great amount for the price. Literally had no complaints. The self service feature was so handy for us. As a large family we could just grab our own drinks, sauces, and everything at will. And you don't have to tip so you save money. Will be back every time I come to town!“

“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 .“

“Great place for bbq!“

“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. 🤣“

“Was very pleasantly surprised by our visit to this chain restaurant. Only went there as it was near a restaurant that we left after being disappointed by their menu. Service from Jerry H. was absolutely EXCELLENT and the food was, as well. Will definitely visit again when we return next fall.“

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

“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.)“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

“I went to Red Robin last night and I was not impressed. It's usually rather expensive but at least the food is good. I waited a while and my burger was room temperature. I got the last of the bag fries. Just little pieces of crunchy nothings. Which I would have just eaten anyway. But the big problem was everything was salty. My burger and my fries. Salty to the point that I couldn't eat it. I just bagged it up and took it home for the dog. I didn't season it at all. I'm not sure why they would be putting so much seasoning on their food. especially salt. it's rather annoying when you're paying almost $20 for a burger and you can't eat it. I didn't complain nor ask for my money back but now I wish I would have. I usually don't have a problem with them. Today was a really bad day though.“

“Been going about once every week or so, since discovering this restaurant.

We've not had a bad order.
The food is amazing, fresh, and visually appealing

Staff is always nice and accommodating“

“The Cabin at Judy Creek is one of those places that just *feels right* the moment you walk in. Whether you are heading out for a laid-back date night, catching up with friends, or just want a chill spot to grab a drink after work, this place nails it.

First off, the vibe is awesome. The building has a cozy, rustic look with tons of warm wood and soft lighting. Its big enough to feel lively but still has that tucked-away, hidden gem feel. If the weathers good, grab a table outside the patio is beautiful and perfect for a long evening of hanging out.

The food? Totally hits the spot. Their smoked meats and sandwiches are next-level, and the sides arent just filler everything is fresh and full of flavor. The appetizers are great for sharing (bacon-fat popcorn is a must-try), and the entrees come in generous portions thatll actually fill you up.

Drinks are another win. They keep a solid craft beer list and pour some excellent cocktails. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to help you find something new.

And the staff ties it all together friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to have you there.

Bottom line: great food, great drinks, great people. Five stars, no question The Cabin is the kind of place youll keep coming back to.“

“Great Selection, Quality, and customer service“

“Came here after i got off work just to spend a little time relaxing and got to meet the sweetest bartender named Maria, she created exactly what i asked for and also created something when i gave her the vaguest requests, would definitely recommend her. I also did end up asking a male bartender with a tree tattoo on his arm if he could help me charge my phone and he was prompt and kind about doing so!😁 loved this Thursday night crew!“

“The only thing that disappoints about this place is they close early. The food is excellent, large portions for a small price and friendly people. I ordered the gyro and I got the soup with it. I expected a smaller bowl since it was not the main dish, but the bowl was a meal by itself. The gyro was delicious and they had real tzatziki sauce (cucumber sauce).“

“Great Food and service...“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“If you like local dive bars and pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is the bomb ? The staff is friendly and most of the regulars are too. Lol. They also have an AMI jukebox, an ATM machine, several TV screens to watch sports games, and video gambling machines. They have a back patio with seating for smokers and they usually have heat out back when they remember to refill the propane tanks. It’s usually just one bartender waiting on everyone and making the pizzas in their pizza oven. Drink a cold one and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait. ??“

“Went to Atomic Wings today for the second time and once again, it did not disappoint. Pat and Kat are awesome and definitely create a good environment. Might have to look into holding some kind of St. Louis Dirt Track Racing or St Louis Dirt Track Racing Hall of Fame event there.“

“We had a fabulous meal after I read the reviews online. We decided to give them a try. We are from North Carolina passing through headed to Yellow Stone. If you have not experienced this steakhouse, don’t walk, run over to have dinner with them. The service was outstanding, the prime rib was the best my husband and I have ever eaten. We would visit often if we lived close. Thanks for a great meal! 💕“

“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! :)“
