28 Best Bar & Grill near Wood River

“Absolutely awesome place to visit. Go on Tuesdays, when pinball is FREE! That's not why it rates high, but it is a plus.

We started with the beer pretzel appetizers. Fan-damn-tastic. Superb! The cheese dip that comes with it, as well as the honey mustard dressing, were exceptional compliments.

Wings are great. Recommend the garlic sauce if you are into lots of garlic. Really tasty.

Atmosphere is top notch. Dress up, dress down. Just relax and enjoy.“

“Absolutely the best burger I’ve had in ages! Great atmosphere, great service and an all around great experience—just don’t ask for lettuce and tomato! Ha!“

“Always some very delicious food! The soups are amazing as well!“

“Had a great night last Saturday debuting at The grain bin ! 💥 Special thanks to the owners and staff for having us and to everyone who came out! 💚👍😊 Great food here too! 🔥 We hope to be back in 2025! 😉🥁🎸🎶🤘“

“Have been here many times and even considered using their space for our upcoming wedding reception. Saturday April 12th was the worst experience we've ever had in ANY bar or restaurant! The place was,moderately busy with many open tables( been their much busier with excellent service) . ordered and paid for drinks. waitress took order and 2 ice waters. more tables cleared out. had to ask for ice waters. watched tables being served and leaving..asked waitress for appetizer..."is been 28 minutes it's on its way ". 8 minutes later another staff set down appetizer and 2 sandwiches. IN THE MOST PATIENT,KINDESS MANNER USING PLEASE we asked for 2 sandwiches to be brought out properly...not cold after we eat 36 minute appetizer. she said it's kitchens fault they are overworked and not her fault. she took sandwiches,wings and left. seconds later( quicker then we've seen her all night) waitress said " you've upset my server. kitchen is overworked. I didn't want to bring this all at once. I knew it was wrong but PLEASE DO NOT CUT MY TIP!!. 🤯 we said we will eat and pay for appetizer don't want cold food! seconds later male " manager" appeared and same one line....kitchen backed up," you've made 2 servers cry"...I was done. weve worked all week and spent 3 days in icu..if anyone was crying it should've been us! Horrible management! zero customer service! I did use one cuss word to the belligerent when he aporoached the table male manager and we were banned!😝🙅‍♀️. ...You're banned wooden nickle! ifu anyone was crying they need help! I've worked service industry 18 to 24 and later in life..they won't make it with .. .please and patience! btw..the nachos after 30 mns were COLD!“

“There are no accidents. You never know who you will meet in your travels. Serendipitous moments that will stay with you for a lifetime. That's me with Reggie "JC" Brooks of St.Louis, and the guy behind J.C. Supper Club not far from here. We engaged inside my favorite St.Louis bakery on The Hill. We chatted at the counter as we waited to have our orders rung up by Sharon, another delightful human being. 🥰 Great conversation, and JC proudly told me about his son getting accepted at a local private school for his academic and sports achievements. JC was beaming. Proud Dad. We shared our concerns for the world as it is now, and how we just want everyone to live their best lives. Short conversation, lifetime memory. JC invited me to stop at "J.C. Supper Club" the next time I am in town. We parted, and he said, "Come by, I'll remember you." I know, and I'll remember him, too. I love St.Louis. ❤️ ( Upstate NY girl here who loves St.Louis.)“

“Great food and and good experience!“

“This is a perfect good ol'tavern. Exactly what I like if I go to have a drink. Bartender s are great, atmosphere is fun and friendly, it's a cheers for the motorcycle club and friends. Always a good time. Sam and Woody are not serving you it Missy, Michelle, or as they call Cheyenne " the new girl" you can't go wrong with any of the three. And if you are lucky enough to run into Elliot or some other regular faces, you have a great day ahead!“

“Awesome food every time!! Don’t think I ever ate anything I didn’t like or wasn’t happy with.“

“everything was regular everybody having fun... I only do 🎰🎰🎲🎲 the drinks was on point 👉🥃“

“Great dj , very secure policeman on deck!! Music 🎶 always on point!! The owner and staff make u feel like family!! Bartenders are the best!! 5 stars ...“

“The atmosphere was accommodating to each individual preference...one side quiet and open with slot machines, while the other side was poppin'. They offered karaoke and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves quite well. The bartender Scott was on point and very polite. All in all good place to go to with friends or a significant other!“

“A wonderful establishment! The new cook, Mark, is definitely on the ball. The food was cooked made to order, accurately dressed, quality and quantity was two thumbs up. The atmosphere is quietly pleasant yet enough pep to get the spirits going. It is a good place to gather with friends and family or just a quiet evening out solo or with a significant other. This establishment is kid friendly, but most adults choose family time here during the day or dinner. The evenings are most enjoyable being in a non discriminate establishment with a variety of positive kind folks. The staff are extremely catering to each individual wants and they are very patient, respectful, and kind. The staff practice universal precautions in sanitation throughout the hours of their shift. This is a family friendly, stranger friendly, everybody friendly environment. What tops this place off is the most affordable prices from the alcoholic beverages to the appetizers and main dishes. I highly recommend this particular social restaurant to frequent. This is a place of safety and will help contribute to a well balanced quality of life!“

“The best food and cold beer at a great prices.

Parking: Lots of parking in two different parking lots.

Wheelchair accessibility: My sister who's in a wheelchair has no trouble at all getting in and around.“

“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)“

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.“

“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.“

“We had the best lunch at Laux Brickhouse today, Katlyn was our server!“

“My big sister helps run the place on the weekends and works the kitchen . it's a nice quiet relaxing spot to play some pool, play video games, darts , have some drinks and great food plus, the atmosphere is always chilled. I highly recommend the double cheeseburger and fries combo with a drink for only 6$, or for a starter the cauliflower bites coupled with mini tacos are also pretty great. Brews are solid priced and reasonable and so are shots it's a great place to stop in and have a few drinks or hang out with friends and get together.“

“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. ??“

“The food was great but now it's okay..The first time I went there, my cousin and I had an awesome time, and the food was on point.Now they have a different cook there and not many Selection to make when it comes to food. All he has are chicken and fries? Most of the time, he never had fish. It's sometimes shrimp.“

“I've stopped in here a few times since I live just down the road from it. The times I've gone in, it wasn't too busy, but they tell me they have a good time on a Saturday night. It's really not your best bet if you want food. They serve your basic frozen pizzas and the like, but nothing remarkable. Sammi's Subs, next door, is another story though. EXCELLENT sandwiches (but they aren't open late). Like another reviewer said, I think Norb's is a great dive-bar with some pool tables and darts. Probably the most fun if you bring a friend or two, and preferably ones who like to play pool or darts. I believe they were cash only at the bar, and they didn't really have a lot of drink specials when I went. So bring cash.“

“Visited on Monday evening bingo. Had a good time. It would have been GREAT, but I didn't win any games. Everyone was friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of bingo games that were played. People seemed to enjoy the snack foods and beverages they purchased. I had a fun time and would go again.“

“Really really cool place, but seems to be going through staffing pains. I'd say both one and five star ratings are justified depending on how much attention you can get from the overworked staff. The stage/ambiance is amazing and I really enjoyed my food.“

“Hubby and l are trying different restaurants located near our home.
The restaurant opened in 1960. It has a large bar and local crowd in the Godfrey area. Everyone was welcoming and kind. It appeared to be one waitress, and she was a super server. In my opinion, she earned her 25% as she changed the TV to tennis, so my 71-year-old husband would sit down?
I also like the help yourself shelf with carry out containers, condiments, and utensils. Thanks for the inviting atmospher??❤️“

“The food is bad, the service is worse. It's easy to see why the Foundry Boat House shut down. I'm sure the downtown Edwardsville location won't be able to survive much longer unless they drastically change and fast.“
