“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!“

“What a great addition to the area! The food was delicious, the staff made us feel welcome, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. You can tell the team cares about giving customers a great experience. We’re happy we gave this new restaurant a try and will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Heather is a very good waitress, she will get u what u need and she had patience with us being new here. The lady in the back that cooked our steaks knows what she doing and knows when a steak is done. Like u want. Telling anyone I been a waitress and what they get paid isn't enough. So if u got a waitress or waiter tip them right. They got family to“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious food. The queso and the chili con queso are absolutely worth ordering. Soooo good!
We've tried the chili, French onion soup, Italian beef sandwich, Italian sandwich, CBR flatbread, and the spaghetti; not a single item has disappointed in the slightest.
Also the staff are so nice. Love coming in on Thursday afternoons for lunch.
Highly recommend!“

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

“94%, definitely should be 100%!“

“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“

“Delicious food, great drinks, friendly service, comfortable settings are what come to mind regarding this restaurant. It's definitely one of my FAVORITE restaurants in the area.“

“My son and I frequent Creekside The Bartender TAREN is fabulous she’s prompt. She’s friendly knowledgeable and she’s on top of it. You’re always so happy when she’s bartending when we go in if you have not been to Creekside yet you need to go especially when TAREN is working because she is Amazing“

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

“The sign on Lily's door statesthey are only open for lunch. From 11 AM to 2 PM Tuesday through Saturday. They're closed Sunday and Monday. When you walk in the door you're greeted with a warm smile and hello like you're an old friend or family. I got the gyro lunc special. It came with a 6 inch, gyro fries, and soft drink. You get one free refill with a soft drink. The gyro had so much meat on it I had to eat some of it before I could fold it up to eat it like standard gyro. The fries were fresh cut and straight out of the fryer. Everything was just amazing. You can't miss this place if you love Greek food.“

“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.“

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

“I love the burgers!🍔 🍔🍔🍔🍔“

“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 went here for the first time Saturday 9/12..everything we ordered was delicious. The portion you get is enough to take home for later or the next day. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable. The workers are really nice. The young lady who was waiting tables,she is truly genuine, patient & kind. I would like to go here again.“

“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!!“

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

“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 !“

“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.)“

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

“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.“

“Great food. Clearly, this is where the locals go! Wonderful Liver and sauteed Onions. The liver was soft, not grisly. Perfectly seasoned with crispy edges. My family doesn't eat Liver, so this will be my spot next time I need a fix. My complements to the chef, it was perfectly executed“

“First-timers and man was it great!! The food was amazing and our server, Ivy, went above and beyond. She asked if we had been there before and explained the whole menu to us and offered some great recommendations! Restaurant was clean and orderly. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the Irish egg rolls, house wings, and both the horseshoes!! Can’t wait to go back and try everything else!! It’s that good!“

“great food and reasonable prices“

“Great place for bbq!“

“Never been to Culver's, but we'll definitely be back. The food was fresh, tasted great, your team was very pleasant and the place was clean. This Culver's is one of the nicest fast casual places I've been in for a long time. The tables were clean, clean soda machine and plenty of condiments, and the floors looked good too. Had the deluxe value basket and they have some of the best crinkle cut fries around.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, awesome drink selection, friendly staff and great entertainment from live music to slots. Enough TVs to enjoy a game as well. I have been here a few times now and each time I come I love the community family feel that is still fun and lively, no shortage of a good time. Can’t wait to come back, my recommendation is to always try the food on special and play mo mummy !“

“Had the outlaw ribeye.....always a gr8 choice. The first time. Second time waited 15 min at the bar, only 2 other people there, servee wanted to carry on a conversation with the people next to me. Looked my way then she never looked back. Wont be going back“

“This is your typical chain sports bar with a large variety of dishes. Our server Letty was very gracious and friendly. She was prompt with drinks and always had great timing without being clingy. She went out of her wait to take good care of us when we moved to the pool tables to play some games. The manager I have no idea who she was is severely lacking leadership training and berated our server in front of us. Letty had done nothing more than to try and make it possible for us to watch the hockey game on a nearby TV.“

“Our monthly guy & gal get together was at Sybergs and more people arrived than expected. YEP, we always ask that everyone RSVP so we can make reservations. Anyway the staff was great and managed to get everyone seated at two tables for lunch and everyone seemed to enjoy one another company & we must've all enjoyed meals, I did, cuz there were no complaints. Too many orders to say who ordered what. We were all seated comfortably, Even late arrival. These were former Classmates & we didn't all go to same University but we stay in touch. Our Waiter was Charming with an A+ Customer Service attitude, as was the Hostess who seated us. There are alcoholic beverages available & TVs with sports programming all over the place. Great place to dine, plus it's spacious whether it's a group or individuals stopping by for sports updates & a drink or just a Coke and a Smile 😀 They are an Amiable Group. Even as we were leaving we were asked how was the service.“

“Great Selection, Quality, and customer service“

“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“

“Great Food and service...“

“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. ??“

“Daniela was my server and she was great“

“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.“

“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“

“Just doordashed from them and it was AMAZING. Absolutely the best breakfast I’ve ever had!!!“

“My family had came today and they have been multiple times but I wanted to try it so we went. They are amazing, once you order they are quick with food even when it’s really busy, I got a drink, it was a little watered down when getting but I didn’t mind at all I still enjoyed it. They play really good music, Paramore, Deftone, and such. everyone is so nice and the food is great!“

“We had breakfast last Saturday, and Katie M. was an amazing server. Very attentive, and we didn't have to ask for anything, she was ways at the ready. We were taken care of without feeling like she was bugging us constantly. Will definitely be back!“

“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! 💕“

“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.“

“Best smash burger in Collinsville seasoned perfectly with two different cheeses and a toasted bun, so good you don't need any other toppings. Multiple fry choices and a good selection of on tap beer. Good atmosphere with attentive bartender. I might just become a regular.“
