American Restaurants near Wood River

“the food is always great, the service is above and beyond! and the waitresses are always there to greet you with a smile!“

“For a dive sports bar, The Franchise puts on a good feed. The offerings are your typical sports bar grub, but it's prepared a level above other sports bars.

My recent visit I enjoyed the Pork Loin Sandwich. It was a typical pork tenderloin sandwich, extending beyond the bun. The one here is served grilled, not fried like the majority of other restaurants. The seasoning and glaze were full of flavor. It surprised me with how juicy and tender it was. If you're a fan of Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches, this is a must try.

A previous visit I had one of the steak specials. I ordered the 16 oz Filet and giggled when it was served. I was given two 8 oz filets on my plate. I didn't care, it still was 16 oz. It actually worked out for me, I ate one and took the other home and had steak and eggs for breakfast the next day. For my two sides, I choose Baked Potato and Green Beans. Half of the potato went home and gave me American Fried Potatoes for breakfast.

They have a good variety of beers on draft, bottled and canned. In addition, they offer a full bar for adult beverages.

The service is hit or miss. It was obvious who was a regular by the attention and quality of service they received. They need to treat everyone the same, so the newer customers become repeat customers, too.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“First time we’ve ate here and it was a great experience! Food and staff were awesome!“

“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!“

“Great service and great food was pleasantly surprised“

“Great food and great people!!“

“🐟🥗 Hickory Grove Restaurant out by the mall consistently serves fresh lettuce for salads and Cod that never fails to impress. The restaurant is not stingy with the condiments like so many others are. 👍 Andy, the owner, always tries to please and values his customers.“

“Best food I ever ate!“
