17 Best Sports Bars near Wood River

“The new menu is great, the food always delicious, and the service always excellent.

That said, I can only give 4 stars because they removed the pickle chicken wings. Those wings were genuinely some of the best wings I’ve ever had anywhere. Crispy, tangy, perfectly balanced! What an absolute tragedy to see them disappear from the menu.

Everything else was great, but I’ll be holding out hope for the triumphant return of the pickle wings. Bring them back and that fifth star is yours.

Updated: returning the fifth star bc of my love for this place. Still holding out hope for a daily special pickle wing“

“Had 3 types of wings, Fry's, and a cheeseburger to-go. Went to pickup myself and place was packed but plenty of parking across the street. Atmosphere was very alive and food was ready and correct. Very good 1st impression and will go again.“

“Grabbed some lunch today w my man daughter & best friend - amber was our waitress & was beyond amazing!! Literally deserves a raise. Drinks never went empty always was making sure we had what we need. My wings came out with bbq on them instead of on the side and she walked over quickly and told the food runner / other waitress that they were not right before they even got placed on the table! Will ask for her everytime we come in from now on!! ❤ We also ended up leaving my daughters favorite blues clues book behind that’s also a library book we’ve had to recheck out 85838 times that she ran outside to us as we was about to leave! 10000/10“

“Very welcoming, extremely helpful and pleasant staff, totally a dinner experience I would want to have again. Our server was cheerful and attentive the entire time, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. And considering Colleen seemed to be the only one on duty at the time, that made her even more impressive!
My steak was cooked to a perfect medium, the mashed potatoes were some of the best I've had in some time, and all in all if you can't tell I really enjoyed this.

Can totally recommend for a clean, pleasing, stomach-filling experience.“

“My new #1 bar in town. They stock my favorite N.A. Blue Moon beer and have a mushroom Swiss burger so good I feel homesick (mushroom Swiss is exclusive to Wednesday only, very fresh and amazing). Great kitchen, friendly people, cheap drinks, the perfect bar 🍻 cheers!“

“Fast service . Friendly staff. Good crowd, good food. Good drink selection . Pool table. Nice atmosphere. Cheap drinks and eats. Locally owned small business. Overall just a great small town river bar.“

“Love it here! Let's go alton and angel is doing a great job!“

“Good food,good service, reasonable price.Best place to eat in Godfrey!“

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

“Was at Edwardsville location on 3/5 for lunch. Don’t know the server’s name but she was terrific. Very genuinely friendly, not the fake kind a lot of servers portray. Food was fantastic and will make you want to return. The only complaint was the music, wasn’t the preferred old rock that was playing when first arrived.“

“It's super clean and nostalgic.
If you're looking for a fun outing or bowling or a place to meet up with some friends for some great Bar Style food selections....give this place a try.
If you're always looking for a great salad, look no more, fresh, and will not disappoint!“

“I love the crowd and music but the customer service of the bartenders is straight trash. They literally partying with customers while others are waiting to be served. They must be related to the owners because they don’t mind huffing and puffing with nasty attitudes. Only complaint is get better bartenders with sales experience and customer service.“

“Haven't been to Applebee's in a long time ,because, it sucked !
Given a gift card ,so why not.
Pleasantly surprised. Ordered the ribeye sandwich and it was cooked perfectly and very flavorful ! Very good service, so we're back !“

“I live in Clayton Missouri & I had to drive out to this area for my Dog at Cavaliers Furniture. It was way past my lunch time. They had a few area Fast Food joints but instead of grabbing greasy food I decided to check this Applebees out. It has been about 8 years since I’ve stepped foot inside any Applebees. Great customer service from the bar, front desk, table staff to my waitress Courtney B! I decided to try the Crispy Bacon & Ranch Chicken sandwich w/Fries. I asked prior to ordering if I should get the grills or crispy & my waitress said she only had the Crispy & it was good. So, I went with it. It was that good! Great choice. When I’m in the area I most definitely will be back. Until then, I’ll be visiting my areas locations for now on. I’ve obviously been missing out!
TIP Your Waiter Folks!🍸“
