Restaurants in Wood River

“My family and I went to 1929 Pizza and Wine to celebrate my birthday. The pizza was exceptional. It was the best service we’ve had in a restaurant in town! I even received a hand written card from staff for my birthday. They truly know how to make you feel special and enjoy your time.”

“Great food. Had the All American burger. Nice and juicy. The bacon and onions were cooked just right.”

“Just moved here from Texas and she was prompt and respectful. The rice could be more flavorful. Only had onions for flavor not the usual eggs, bean sprouts and protein in fried rice. Overall it's good.”

“the food is always great, the service is above and beyond! and the waitresses are always there to greet you with a smile!”

“Food is great they really done a nice job with this place!

Kid-friendliness: They have all kinds of pin-ball machines to play while you wait for your food”

“we ate there twice last week. love everything I have ever ordered was delicious. Best salsa around this area of Illinois.”

“Friendly service and great food. Sure, it’s not as quick as McD’s, but at lunchtime, cooking to order for a crowd takes a little more time! We will definitely be back!”

“Fire N Smoke never misses!!! It’s my husband & I’s go-to and is SOO delicious. The wings, pulled pork, brisket, potato twisters, EVERYTHING is so good!!”

“Waitress Makayla was very nice! Food is always 🔥 Live Music, Great food and service!”

“Shout out for offering Veterans a free steak meal on Veteran's Day. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and my guy was made to feel appreciated and honored. Thank you for this gracious gesture.”

“Place has been around 29 years for a reason. Best Steak Special in the country. $19.00 for a 16oz. Filet, potato, and green beans. And the Steak is as good as anywhere in this area. You definitely want to go eat there. And on Mondays they have 16 inch 1 topping pizzas from 2-Midnight. The 1 Star reviews given to this place are by people who have personal issues with something or someone. The food is always cooked right and the atmosphere is always nice and comfortable”

“1-23-2025 @ 4:55 pm the employee with the tan beanie on actually read each line on the receipt and checked to make sure everything was there. I didn't have to ask her for the extra sauce cup that is stored separately from the hot food order!!
The only down side was the sauce cups seemed low. I would rather pay extra and have them filled at least 3/4 full. For now I'll just buy EXTRA EXTRA cups 😆”

“Great staff. Good food… highly recommend”

“This is the best Burger King in my area. Ashley N. always gets the order right. I have been going here for a couple years. I have never been parked waiting on an order. The sandwiches are hot and made to order every time. Keep up the good work everyone it’s amazing.”

“The owner here is seriously one of the sweetest people you could ever meet and they really take good care of their customers. There is also darts, pool, and 4 gaming machines here as well. Greta place to relax.”

“Absolutely love this place. The Twix Latte is heavenly. The owners are super friendly. The truck was at a work event and they made everything easy for us. I can't say enough good things. 1000/10 would most definitely recommend.”

“Nicest people I’ve ever ordered anything from and the treats were delicious!”

“Old time Chinese restaurant with amazing food. Not your every day Chinese restaurant unless you time traveled to the 80s. Sweet lady will take your order and then prepare it fresh. Not your normal American style Chinese food.”

“I bring all the ladies here”

“I love delivering at these smaller companies with few dock doors. They get right on unloading you. It's much better than the huge distributuon centers with a hundred or more doors, which sometimes make drivers wait for a few hours. Staff at this place knows how tricky the blind side backing can be, so they guide you through it expertly with hand signals until you're lined up straight with the dock door. They also tell you where to turn around when you're ready to leave the dock door, so you don't try making a left turn into a telephone pole as you pull away from the dock. The turnaround area is a little small for an 18 wheeler, but doable. You might want your tandems slid all the way forwards when turning around after leaving the dock. Staff was friendly and helpful. They even unloaded me on a day that was a day early according to their schedule, but which was the correct day according to my company. That allowed me to get to my other stop ok. I appreciate it.”

“The food was super good ,but there was a lady working that was being super hateful to the boss for no reason .I think if that lady wants to continue to act like that she shouldn't have a job .You just don't treat people that way , especially people as nice as her.Also,It's a very clean store”
