31 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Wood River

“I ordered quite a bit for my baby shower. I ended up canceling the event after my dad passed away due to not wanting to be around a lot of people. They refunded my money and were very understanding of the canceled order. I have ordered a full cheesecake in the past and it was delicious!“

“Love Shivers!!! They have the best flavors, always rotating a new flavor of the day. The red velvet x gooey butter cake is the best! They get busy and there can be an a wait, but the staff are always so kind! Support local!“

“Been driving passed this place for 5 years on my way home from work. What I learned is I been missing out for the last 5 years 😭. Just got 1lb of pulled pork and some sauce. 🔥 I purposely don’t order pulled pork at restaurants because it’s always dried out. Now I finally have a place to get delicious pulled pork. Does recommend! Can’t wait to try the other stuff!!“

“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!“

“Chef Travis is an amazing cook by far! We went once and he was sold out of the birria tacos, stopped by last night to catch the and ended up getting a special for the bourbon chicken he had. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken was so tender. He shows us such great hospitality & is an amazing cook. We will continue to support him and his journey as long as we see that big space ship down there! 🤍🤍“

“Super friendly staff. my meal very good - will return!“

“Great food. Love their flacos, tacos and margaritas.“

“Their loaded potatoe soup is more like a loaded mash rather than a soup, although really yummy. I wanted to order a sandwich but noticed the sandwich assembly station from the register and noticed the kitchen staff wearing no gloved making sandwiches. I would fix this just to instill a better idea of cleanliness.
My first time coming the staff were extremely rude and rushed us to order with an empty restaurant. This time was slightly better.“

“Ummm ok, we could not breathe when we left because of how much we ate. Everything was SO delicious. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly (shout out to Alex!!!). It was a cozy environment and felt like I was eating at an auntie’s house. This is going to be a spot I crave and will frequent from now on. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Normally, I support your business but you guys are going to make someone sick. I just got a box of chicken that could only eat the outside because, it's not done. I took a bite of a leg and it tasted funny. So, I looked at it and it was red and pink. gross If, I get sick you'll be hearing from me. I'm so disappointed“

“Great service and great food was pleasantly surprised“

“Their coffee & espresso are the best in town!“

“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.“

“If you want the best Mexican food go to Arandas. The food was amazing. The staff were all so nice. The food came so fast for as packed as they were. Will definitely be going back.“

“Great place, Amazing Service and the food was excellent.. Highly recommend..“

“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.“

“The food is amazing! Me and my wife love this place, service is also top tier! I highly recommend the waitress Katie M, so friendly and knowledgeable. Her recommendations are great! I highly recommend the chicken cordon bleu and lobster tails 🔥🔥🔥. It was our second time there and man it was great.“

“This was my third time at Bobby’s Frozen Custard, and I’m officially hooked! I’ve tried the Hard Rock Cashew and a couple of other flavors absolutely amazing every time. The custard is rich, creamy, and just melts in your mouth.

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. It’s no surprise why people from all over Edwardsville and the surrounding area love this place it really is something special.

If you haven’t been to Bobby’s yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!“

“An absolutely amazing restaurant with delicious food no matter the day, festive atmosphere with respectful and welcoming staff and mesmerizing wall artwork! Have been here plenty of times throughout the year and every time I want to try something new I am never disappointed!!! Also lovee their virgin Piña colada mocktail!“

“Got one combination with moo goo Gai Pan spicy with white rice and egg roll and love everything! my son got the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and Rangoon. The rice and Rangoon weren't my favorite but not bad. But as for the service the people there we're very friendly so would definitely return.“

“Global Brew is a great place for craft beer lovers to hang out and enjoy some great beers, watch sports, and listen to live music occasionally. The food is pretty good and the staff is friendly. Service could be better but overall this is a great place to hang out.“

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

“My brother is terminally ill. One of two things on his bucket list were to 1) go deep sea fishing - which can’t happen, and 2) try Gooey Buttercake Ice Cream. After running everywhere yesterday to try to find it, with no luck, as a last ditch effort I went in to Annie’s. They did not have it on the menu but Emily (the owner) was so considerate when she heard what was happening that she decided to attempt to make it on her own for me to pick up today. She told me everyone said it was delicious who tried it. Unfortunately, my brother will likely not be able to taste it as he is relatively unresponsive within a very short 24 hour period. The service, the support, them going above and beyond from what I could have ever dreamed of is absolutely beyond words. I’m sure Tom would have loved it. Thank you, Emily! There are still angels on this earth. And my daughter is absolutely addicted to your custard, and has been for four years!“

“This is the best dutch bros around. Everyone is friendly and my drink is always perfect.

Wait times are a little long sometimes, but I don’t mind and neither should the boomers leaving reviews.

5 stars!“

“Love the food!!!!!! I would go more often but parking is a real problem!!!!!“

“Food and service was great. Place was very clean. I'll be going back.“

“Wonderful service , food and environment! Highly recommend“

“Ordered our Thanksgiving meal and it was amazing. The turkey and ham were so good and sides delicious. Will order again.“
