Restaurants by Cuisine
“Everything I've tried so far has been delicious! Highly recommend!”
“Just drove from St.Charles MO with my husband and daughter today to get out of the house. Saw reviews for Bluff City Grill, and we decided to stop for lunch. The crab stew was amazingly delicious 😋 I had the stinger salad, and the hand breaded chicken strips on the salad were delicious too. We had buffalo chicken dip, and mozzarella sticks for appetizers-- both super delicious too. I had a glass of the house sangria which was super good too. Excellent service also. Definitely going back next time we're out this way. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's food, service, and atmosphere.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Good donuts usually good service. Last visit we were the only customer at 430p on a Friday. Girl was in a hurry to get us out and they were mostly out of donuts ( I was getting them after work for Saturday morning work). Iced long John’s were icing down in the bottom of the box and donuts I asked for in addition to the dozen for work weren’t in the bag or the box. Like I said great donuts and hopefully next time it’ll be a better experience.”
“I got the Veggie Naan sandwich with red pepper hummus delivered. It was so delicious! I am a very picky vegetarian. This sandwich is FIRE! So good! Was so happy to see a real vegetarian option and not the typical junk other restaurants offer as vegetarian meals. Highly recommend! I will definitely be ordering this meal again!

Great food & really good service by all employees. Renee, our waitress, was exceptional & has a great personality. Pricing is very fair for the portions you receive, eg. (Blueberry pancakes)!!! Loaded w/blueberries & (2) pancakes as big as the plate. I had the “Dixie Special” which came with biscuit & gravy which was excellent. If you don’t get there early, expect a short wait & you’ll soon understand why!”
“my 4yr old grandson and I go there as often as we can. Great service and great food. Definitely beats McDonald's were he usually wants to go. He eats biscuits and gravy sausage links and fried potatoes there. when before we went there he wouldn't eat anything but McDonald's. so glad to have this place to go to. Plus like I said super friendly place with awesome service”
“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”
“Best St. Louis style pizza I have had crust is awesome. My wife and I had the Buffalo Chicken Pizza I will be back very nice family also I met the owners mother a very sweet lady glad I found it and wanted to try it. I was also told that the meatballs are a homemade the way the owners grandma made them years ago. I will definitely try them when I go back but the pizza was awesome👍”

“Celebrated a friend’s birthday and the evening could not have been better! Our server, Rose did a fabulous job. 4 out of 5 of us had never dined here before and Rose was so helpful with her recommendations from the menu. We started with a couple appetizers, toasted artichoke hearts and stuffed mushrooms. Both apps were very good. My pepperloin with a side of blue cheese and bacon potatoes was delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. Tony’s is a great place for a special occasion or a date night. We will definitely be back!”
“Our Valentine's Day experience at White Castle was fun/enjoyable experience. White Castle did a very good job decorating. My wife, son and I ordered a lot of food and it came out fast. It was delicious. I was surprised with how many people actually showed up. The dining room was full.”

“I want to say that me and my husband stopped in here for our anniversary. From the road It looked like a very small shop, we went in is a very nice large shop with plenty of seating. The pie was great and so was the lemonade. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back on another date night. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I went here to celebrate my mom’s and sister’s birthday.Our waiter,Cesar was EXCELLENT!! Very attentive to our needs,the food and drinks were delicious.Most of all,he made their birthdays one to remember! I would definitely return and when you go please ask for Cesar!”
“First time! Gorgeous evening to sit on the patio. Patio ambiance was upscale casual.
Service: Server (Mackenzie) was perfect - personalized recommendations, quick turnaround on requests, always there when needed and invisible when not needed.
Starters and drinks: My only criticism of the meal is that our caesar dressing was not chilled (as though it had sat out before being poured) but the flavor was perfectly peppery and the romaine was crisp. Our drinks were an old fashioned (garnished with cherry & orange and made strong) and an espresso martini (3-bean garnish but not particularly strong).
Entrees: one filet mignon with asparagus (cooked to just the right an of crisp) and baked potato and one peppered salmon on rice. Both entrees were the highest quality, prepared to perfection; I suspect that anything on the menu would exceed expectations.
Service (continued): Teammate - name unknown - kept our waters topped off and discarded dishes cleared from the table without interrupting. Five stars.”
“The best :) always recommend them to anyone looking for a place to eat.”

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.”

“Hong Kong House - How Happy I am to have you opened again! The ONLY Chinese Restaurant in the Alton area that serves REAL Chinese Veggies in their meals - NOT frozen peas, carrots, & corn. I ordered the Veggie Fried Rice - served with thinly sliced carrots, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, baby corn, and bamboo shoots just to name a few. We also had Hunan Chicken Combo Plate with Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon - Yummy. Again lots or real fresh veggies without being over loaded with huge chunks of onion. Love Love Love the food here”
“The food is amazing. Weve tried nearly everything on the menu and it has yet to disappoint. The weekly specials that are off menu have also been really good. The small patio typically houses a small band. The inside is nice and quiet. The wait staff is really knowledgeable and very kind. The food is made to order. The steak has been consistently cooked to temp. Highly recommend. The new chef is great”

“We came on a Saturday night and the bar was full but all the tables were empty. I had been here 10 years earlier and the pizza was great! We ordered the bacon cheeseburger bombs, the steak and shrimp Alfredo, the spinach and bacon tortellini and my son had enchiladas. The steak was so tender, the bacon amped up the tortellini dish and my son was raving about the Mexican! The women’s bathroom made us laugh! There was a barstool right next to the commode, the toilet was elevated so someone short would be on their tiptoes and the mirror was hanging. It was a great experience and the food and service were top notch!!!”
“I've stopped in here a few times since I live just down the road from it. The times I've gone in, it wasn't too busy, but they tell me they have a good time on a Saturday night. It's really not your best bet if you want food. They serve your basic frozen pizzas and the like, but nothing remarkable. Sammi's Subs, next door, is another story though. EXCELLENT sandwiches (but they aren't open late). Like another reviewer said, I think Norb's is a great dive-bar with some pool tables and darts. Probably the most fun if you bring a friend or two, and preferably ones who like to play pool or darts. I believe they were cash only at the bar, and they didn't really have a lot of drink specials when I went. So bring cash.”
“We were in the mood for Chinese, so we stopped in. Is it pinky out, fancy Chinese? Not even close. It's gotta have it, greasy Chinese. Please don't take that the wrong way. Sometimes you just need some old school Chinese, and they got that. The portions were huge, and the cost wasn't terrible. The highlight, for me, were the fried wontons. The beef and broccoli was flavorful, and the broccoli still had the crunch (no one likes soggy broccoli). The crab rangoon were the sweet style, not my favorite, but decent enough. Of course I'm going to go back.”

“Just want to tell ya we've been customers for over 30 yrs and we've noticed a definite improvement in the food as of lately ...”
“I really like this place. While the food is nothing crazy, the atmosphere and service are awesome! It's really fun to be there and it's a great place to have a gathering with friends or family.”
“I love this place. We frequent here because of the great drinks and food!”
“wanted some fried catfish and went to a local spot. it did not disappoint! cooked fresh and perfectly crisp. I'll definitely be back!”

“08/07/25 — Our server Gracey was phenomenal! She was so kind, patient and attentive despite some of the people we were with being very frustrating to deal with. She was very personable and made it a very comfortable meal.
I hope somebody personally thanks her and lets her know what a great job she is doing.”

“We’ve been to this place many times. My only complaint is that they don’t seem to vary the menu. It would be nice if they had a “dish of the day” to add some variety.
Also, there’s only one choice of ice cream and no toppings.
The staff is friendly and place is clean.”
