“Update March 28 2024: Northside Dairy is Open:In honor of my mother's & fathers favorite place in Edwardsville since we've been going there for years, I stopped by on her Heavenly Birthday. She loved their Pizza Burger, and Dad loved their sliders.I ordered a pizza burger with fries along with a small chocolate shake. Then, for Skippy a plain hamburger and a Pup Cup with ice cream. I couldn't even get parked before Skippy had to have his Pup Cup. Mind you, I live in St. Louis, then drove to Jefferson Barracks, visited my mother's & father's grave, and put her bird of paradise on her grave.Then, I headed to Edwardsville for her, and my favorite Pizza Burgers even ordered 3 to take home. Northside is the only place I know of that has Pizza Burgers, and they are so flavorful and delicious. If you've never had one, you don't know what you're missing out on literally.Best ice cream choices, best shakes, best burgers & and fries, you just can't get any better than Colin's little gem in Edwardsville.Big Shout out to Colin & Staff for always being so happy. The best Dairy Haven place around the area.See ya real soon for more deliciousness!Best food ever and prices are so reasonable to boot, along with staff as friendly as can be.The fabulous pork tenderloin sandwich and, of course, the sliders.Only place left where you can get chocolate & vanilla swirl cones or dip cones.Get some ice cream to take home as no one sells vanilla & chocolate swirl by the quarts or pints. Again, it is cheaper than any store that doesn't even offer this old-fashioned ice cream.Brought my LilBro there today & he tried the Okie Burger 2 Charbroiled burgers, Chili Lettuce, Tomato, and he thought he didn't need the knife & fork, ha ha he did.Colin, thank you for the conversation & enlightening me on your family buying Dairy Haven it was so nice to hear your journey.Skippy says Arf Arf Woof Woof for the Dog Bone, it was so sweet of your establishment to give offer those to us ? ownersBig shout out to Colin and his wife for saving Dairy Haven for the Edwardsville community. It's a place where we all grew up with in our households.Got our supply of chocolate & vanilla ice cream pints today. Hopefully, it will hold us until spring (really doubtful, lol).Shout out to Colin & Staff for getting these pints together.Thanks to you all for another year of great memories along with eating scumptous food/ice cream & visiting with family & friends in such a historic place.New Year and Northside Dairy Haven are open again.The Pizza Burger and Fries was my treat today, waiting over 6 months for another Pizza Burger.If you compare the food here at Northside to any chain fast food, there is such a big difference!!Literally, the Pork Tenderloin is a great price, then No One Offers a Fabulous Pizza Burger at all.I'm so glad their open again as I missed my Pizza Burger big time.Please try Northside and support your local business instead of fast food chains, plus the food is so flavorful and tasty.Price is so reasonable and you can get dessert too.“
“The Best Smoked Meat Around!! Every Friday my husband and I make a trip from Spanish Lake and come see Jared at Dam-it-Joe’s. I know that every time, no matter what I order, it’s on key and so f’@k!n delicious!! My favorite ? I recommend that you come back and try everything they have to offer! We got our first Smoked Turkey! Amazing is all I can say!! Jared, thank you so much. Brunch was fantastic!“
“Shivers is an amazing local staple, I have never had a bad experience here. My personal favorite items are the Italian cream sodas, the cows (specifically root beer), and of course the concretes (I like vanilla with marshmallow fluff, banana, and sprinkles.)“
“I am a regular at BBB, but was lucky enough to host a retirement party for a coworker after hours. First off, the food is ALWAYS spectacular… from the appetizers, to the sandwiches, soups, and salads. Treat yourself to a wine slushy and I promise you wont regret it!I have my favorites but literally everything is good.As far as the retirement party, hats off to the Brown Bag Bistro! Everyone at the party was impressed by the food, desserts, and venue. The patio is perfect for a private party and the ownership is more than accommodating. We love BBB!Vegetarian options: Salads, sandwiches, appetizers.Wheelchair accessibility: 2 ramps accessible.“
“Halloween weekend - busy place and seemed a bit understaffed as our server was managing several tables as well as making drinks at the bar. However, service was timely,efficient and cheerful. I split a sandwich with an accompanying friend and our server very thoughtfully had split the check and our drink orders without us even asking- very impressive especially on a busy night! We had the Cuban and it was well prepared with crispy bread as it should be. Prices are in line with quality and quantity. Their cocktail menu is fun but most importantly the cocktails taste good. Setting is quite casual and can tend to be noisy. My only negative is I wish they had fries!“
“Such a great spot for the best coffee! I've loved everything I've ordered (my fave is a lavender latte), and the suggestions of the staff have always been dead on. Friendly staff - excellent coffee - great location - this is the only spot for me!“
“Wonderful food, atmosphere, and Cocktails.Smash burger was excellent and sophisticated with quality beef and pork, carmelized onions, and a soft potatoe bun. Fries are shoestring and a mix of regular and potatoe fries which was a nice surprise.Cocktails also well done and reasonable price.“
“Went here strictly for the golf Sims. Fair price when you shop around, also one of the nicest Sims in the area!! 45 for the first hour then 25 a hour after. Service was fantastic while using the sim. About every 20 minutes they would come check on us and top us off on drinks. From now on, when I'm looking to use a simulator, I will only go here! Thanks for the good afternoon!“
“Small but mighty in flavor for both food and drinks The carne asada charo is nearly inexplicably good. Tender and a flavor explosion The orange colored medium salsa looks strange but you forget about that given the spice and in a few moments you just want to drink it The original margarita is a proper one with real lime juice. If you want a sweeter one opt for the house margarita Great family business serving up the best tacos. So simple, so fresh, so good so cal!“

“Took my mom and her friend to Bobby's Frozen Custard for a dessert and was not disappointed. I had a butter pecan concrete and the ladies has sundaes. Everyone enjoyed their treat. We used the drive thru and service was fast and pleasant.“
“We will definitely be back. The food was amazing, but the atmosphere and experience were lightyears beyond good food....all thanks to Bob at the hibachi grill.I can only hope we get to see him again for our next birthday in the family. Sincere thanks for showing our children and extended family an afternoon lunch to remember. Core memories are made here“
“Got here super early in the morning driving from Texas up to Chicago. This is the hottest coffee I have ever had the pleasure of burning my tongue! The young lady filled our thermoses added the milk and y’all even carry honey as well! Great strong taste!! I will remember you on our family road trips.“
“We have always been big fans of Big Daddy's from a food and atmosphere standpoint! Most recently, we had the opportunity to transform their outdoor patio space for a private party with a Wednesday Addams theme and it was a blast! There were so many opportunities for decor in their space. They were welcoming and accommodating for us as vendors as well. We have also personally hosted a birthday party here and had great food/service and ease of coordination!“
“Enjoyed a delicious meal here for lunch. Chips were light and crisp. Salsa was fresh and homemade and very flavorful.The tamales and enchiladas were fantastic! A limited menu but everything on it is wonderfully done. Big portions and so tasty.We will be back.“
“Wanted a filling brunch while in town for work and couldn't have chosen a better place! Food was excellent. Biscuits were fresh, coffee was a little weak but good. Would definitely come back!Parking: So many reserved spots for Big Daddy's and the lawyers, it was hard to find parking.“
“The food! You can't ask for a better steak meal. It does tend to get a little busy but those waitresses keep up without an issue. All the renovations the Ross and Dawn have done really are a breath of fresh air in the area. Anyone can catch just about any game while enjoying a cold beer, and a filling delicious meal in a wholesome family atmosphere that you might hope to expect from your hometown. The entire staff are rockstars and this is one to remember to watch out for!“
“Lots of selection lots of combinations to create and Annie’s staff know that people make up their favorite combinations. Peanut butter Reeces Peanut Butter Cups pralines and chocolate sauce is my go to. The staff do an amazing job of getting everyone’s orders correct and I’ve had several excellent experiences there in the 2 years I’ve lived here.“
“Classic food, classic experience. Sadly Charlie's is closing its doors after over 30 years. We will certainly miss this place. Hopefully someone will buy it and reopen. We did the drive in on the last weekend, waited almost 3 hours for our last Charlie's meal. I've never waited that long for food, and never seen the place so busy. We're going to miss you Charlie's. Best root beer ever“
