“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.“

“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!“

“I've eaten here 3 times now (not counting to-go orders!) and I do honestly prefer to get food to go. Not for any reason other than they are busy and it's noisy, which is great for them because it means business is good! We have tried breakfast foods (all very good), pasta, and nachos. I actually really liked their nachos and prefer them to some other establishments in town. I wish they had a larger location because we would eat there more often!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“We had an excellent experience at Creekside Bar and Grill in Lebanon, IL. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and had a great vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the visit. The food was outstanding—fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every detail, from presentation to portion size, was spot on.

What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. Creekside delivers on atmosphere, food, and service all in one place. Highly recommend and will absolutely be back!“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“Lilly’s has been going strong for over a quarter century but today was my first time. A small mom & pop venue. I didn’t expect much but ordered the beef and lamb gyros. So many places just don’t make them right. But Lilly’s was spot on. I hadn’t had such a good gyro in over a decade! This first time customer hopes to be going back many times regardless it is 10 miles from home.“

“94%, definitely should be 100%!“

“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“

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

“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. 🤣“

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

“I love the burgers!🍔 🍔🍔🍔🍔“

“I looking for a late night snack at 10pm. At that time they were only serving apps. I ordered wings and onion rings. My food was delivered quickly and hot. Some of the best wings and rings I've ever had. Also, my server/bartender was amazing and attentive.“

“Great place for bbq!“

“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!“

“The Cabin is a great location for a good meal and some local entertainment. There are plenty of TVs for watching sports. There are three different seating areas inside, screened deck and outside deck. There are a few games setup for playing bags or bocce ball.“

“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.“

“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 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.)“

“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“

“Great Selection, Quality, and customer service“

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

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Daniela was my server and she was great“

“great food and reasonable prices“

“Great Food and service...“

“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 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 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.“

“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. ??“

“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! 💕“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! :)“
