“Best service in town! And you won't find a better FISH FRY!“

“Great place that unfortunately is rarely open. When it is open it's the nicest place in town to grab a beer by far. They always have a great selection of different craft beers on tap and it rotates regularly. The bar seems to be run more as a hobby than as a business and is often closed during popular times. The limited food menu looks great but I haven't ordered any because the one person working seems pretty swamped every time I have stopped. Just ordering a beer can take quite a while but at least he is pleasant and friendly. If you can catch it when it's open it's worth a visit.“

“Paoli Pub & Grill offers great bar food with fresh ingredients. The homemade cheese curds and Jalapeno Wontons are popular appetizers. The Catfish Po'boy is a must-try and the pickle vodka adds a unique twist to their Bloody Mary. The atmosphere is great, especially the outdoor patio. The service is good, even during busy lunch hours. Prices are surprisingly cheap, making it a fantastic dining option.“

“J & M Bar, located in Belleville, is a popular local spot known for its friendly atmosphere and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of options, with customers particularly praising the burgers, Reuben sandwich, Thursday night nachos, and Wednesday spaghetti. The bar's biscuits and gravy dish is also a standout, capable of impressing even those from the Southern states. While the establishment does not accept credit cards, it does have an ATM on-site. Although there was a mix-up with some provided drink vouchers in one instance, the overall pricing is reasonable. Food portions are generous and fresh, with high-quality ingredients used in dishes like the bar burger and fries. The bar features a selection of alcoholic beverages as well.“

“Mount Vernon Tap is a dive bar offering delicious pizza and tasty appetizers with generous portions. The Buffalo chicken pizza is a highlight, and their bartenders are friendly and attentive. While parking can be a challenge, it's worth finding a spot to enjoy their popular pizza. The burger is acceptable but did not meet high expectations.“

“River Ville Bar and Grill offers amazing homemade food made with fresh, quality ingredients. The friendly and helpful staff provide excellent service, creating a cheerful atmosphere. Customers highly recommend the menu, including dishes like chocolate pancakes, and praise the great value for the delicious food.“
