Restaurants near Defiance

“The food was amazing!! We got the loaded smokehouse fries.. no leftovers!! The wine was ok, but the biggest issue was that the wine menus were confusing to read. We also figured out the wine menu inside, did not match up with the wine menu outside. The staff was very helpful and friendly!”

“We went to the new location in Wildwood on Father’s Day, with some friends, and it was refreshing watching the children playing games, and families together. This place is going to be a great success in Wildwood. Congratulations, we certainly enjoyed ourselves yesterday.”

“Beautiful place! The owners are great!”

“I hosted a baby shower for my daughter in the Barrel Room and it was the perfect place. The staff was so accommodating from the beginning to the end. Brooke and Emily had quick response times and very professional. Matt was our server and he was top notch along with the food on this special day! Thank you so much!”

“Hosted a friends birthday party in the back room at the Rack House. My friend is gluten free and we had the most delicious gluten free meatballs! All of the food was wonderful. Staff was amazing and attentive. Highly recommend for dinner, or hosting event!”

“Outstanding. Little Pricey for pasta. We will definitely return. Food was amazing pizza was delicious”

“I stopped by Crumbl this week because they were offering a free dirty soda while introducing their new drink menu. I was excited to give it a try since I love trying dirty sodas from different places.

Unfortunately, the soda selection available for the promotion was pretty limited. While there are a lot of options advertised online, only a handful were available with the free offer, and most of them contained coconut. Since I can’t have coconut, I was left with the root beer option, which isn’t really my favorite. Because of that, I don’t feel like I got a fair chance to experience what their dirty sodas have to offer, so I’ll probably stick with my usual local spots for those.

Now, the cookies are a completely different story.

Crumbl cookies are always delicious. They’re huge, rich, and definitely made for sharing (or saving half for later!). They’re one of our favorite treats for birthdays, celebrations, or just because. I have a teenager, and while flowers might not impress her, surprising her with a Crumbl cookie absolutely does.

Ordering through the app is always quick and easy, and my orders have consistently been accurate. The only thing I’d love to see improved is the rewards program. It doesn’t really give me much incentive to visit more often.

Overall, while I wasn’t sold on the dirty soda experience, Crumbl’s cookies continue to be some of my favorite sweet treats. They’re the kind of dessert that’s worth splurging on every once in a while, and we’ll definitely keep coming back for the cookies.”

“Absolutely the best Indian food in st Charles county. Had the goat curry and it was so good! I got the high spice level but if you can’t handle the heat they have mild levels as well. The sugar cane drink was so tasty and the ginger paired well with the spice. Highly recommend Persis Indian Grill. We will be a repeat customer!”

“Excellent Peruvian food and service is always top notch.”

“Fell in love with The Cookie Box after driving by and buying a cookie on a whim. Have now been back 4 times for my family or for little gifts buying a variety of cookies. Purchased darling Easter bunny cookies for our Easter guests and everyone raved about them! Also was easy to pre-order and they were accommodating when I asked for a last minute change to our pick up. Highly recommend!!”

“Best Gyro I've had in years!”

“Beautiful cookies! I ordered some cookies from Anna’s dream cakes for an act of kindness that I was doing. They were so pretty and tasted wonderful too. I like to support local businesses and I will definitely be back!”

“4 friends went for lunch today and I got the same thing I always get, Penne with grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, mushrooms and garlic because it is amazing. But today, there were no artichoke hearts in it. It was still delicious, but when you are paying $14+ for lunch, your dish should have everything it advertises on the menu!”

“We hosted our 25-year High School reunion at Barrels Taphouse & Grill, and it could not have gone better! The atmosphere was perfect — fun, relaxed, and spacious enough for everyone to mingle and reconnect. A huge shoutout to our amazing servers, Lauren and Abby, who went above and beyond all night! They kept everything running smoothly, handled our big crowd with total professionalism, and made sure no one’s glass was ever empty. And a special thank-you to Anne, for being so accommodating and easy to work with from the very start. Her support and hospitality made planning the event effortless. If you’re looking for a great place to host an event — or just grab some great food and drinks — Barrels Taphouse & Grill is the place to go!”

“Wonderfully friendly staff, amazing in house crafted syrup! Breakfast burrito was “the best!” according to my husband! My iced coffee with Spanish vanilla is fantastic!”

“This restaurant was fabulous! The staff is warm and friendly! We felt like we were back in Italy. Everything we had from cocktails, wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert was impeccable! We love this place and recommend it to everyone, it's a hidden gem. This is one of our favorite restaurants. WE WILL BE BACK!”

“When I needed a cake for an impromptu party I decided only 12 days ahead on, I picked up the phone and called Sweet Spot Cake Shoppe and reached out to Donna. I had a kinda, round about idea of what I was after, but honestly I just wanted 1/4 sheet 1/2 chocolate 1/2 white with LIGHT icing and I wanted the USMC Globe and Anchor logo and a RR track around the perimeter. Her FIRST ATTEMPT (that's right 1st) was a Grand Slam. This cake is for a Vietnam Combat Veteran Marine and I wanted it perfect. SSCS blew my expectations out of the water. In fact, I'd say came in about 20-25% less than the same at the big chain bakeries, not to mention it was one fresh, perfect cake, nothing misspelled or 3" of frosting on top of some dried out 4 day old cake that was mass produced. Made to order and more affordable! 5 stars across the board! Thanks for making the party complete!”

“I wanted to send a message to say thank you for allowing the Timberland teachers to use your back room today. It was a last second request on a whim and you guys were so accommodating. We have had an incredibly stressful week with a whole lot of ups and downs as one of our teachers passed away unexpectedly. You guys opening up your space allowed us to celebrate our friend and take a breath from the emotions of the week. So from the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU! You guys are the absolute best.”

“One of my favorite places for lunch. The owner and staff are always helpful and want to make sure you enjoy your food. Beer menu is amazing! They have weekly specials and great discounts for Cardinal/Blues games and happy hour. Give them a try to find your new favorite hotdog (or kielbasa)!”

“I had an amazing experience with J+B Wellness Company! From the moment I connected with them, their professionalism and genuine care for their clients really stood out. The team is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly committed to helping you achieve your wellness goals. Everything feels personalized, not one-size-fits-all, which makes a huge difference.”

“Always friendly, prompt service and delicious offerings. A great place to have a little treat!”

“We love eating at Bristol! We go every Sunday and love visiting with our bartender, Jess! She’s the best!”

“Thoroughly impressed with the teamwork going on at Culver’s in Eureka, Illinois. We dropped in with 20 guests and served quick with many smiles. Manager has and is running a good crew. Bravo. Thanks again!”

“This place is amazing! They make fabulous cakes that make you come back again and again. My Mom’s 80th birthday was a hit and her cake was the stole the show! I’m hooked!”

“Great outdoor setting! Got the smash burgers from the food truck and they were pretty good. They had local musician playing guitar that was pretty chill. And they had the Cardinals game on!!!”

“I go there often because alll the food is delicious. Bacon egg cheese bagel is my favorite for breakfast but the biscuits & gravy & omelettes are are also great. I also love the cheeseburgers & onion rings. Better than fast food anywhere. The bakery is awesome! I alsmust say the employees are friendly & series fast. Try it out !!”
