    Asparagus from Surf & Turf
    Diane L.

    If you are not a local to Alton I dont recommend coming. Our waitress was more interested in chatting with locals then paying attention to new customers. Very loud. Took forever to get water refill Waited over 1/2 hour for food to be delivered. Waitress never checked on us. Baked Haddock. Cold under seasoned spinach under cooked rice. Surf and turf. Overcook scallops. Steak tips under cooked Asparagus not edible didn't clean up the woody part of steam. Steak quesadillas was good Fried lobster was good french fries cold. It appears that this place wants to keep it local.

    Pistachio Martini (drink special) and a Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks. Nice pours all around!

    Great food, great service, nice atmosphere - the music is never too loud which I appreciate so much!! And one martini will hit you, but two is more fun :)

    Everything cooked to perfection.

    Lots of good choices on the menu. The shrimp dumplings, creamy chicken vegetable soup, and grilled haddock sandwich were delicious!

    Shibley's Soft & Hard Ice Cream - Fried whole belly clams

    After seeing the scenic route, I stopped in here for some fried whole belly clams. The first staff…read moreperson that took care of me was great. She took the time to tell me the different options. We also discussed black raspberry ice cream. They sell both soft serve and hard ice cream. They flavor there soft serve with syrup so you can get black raspberry soft serve. The picnic benches outside were nice to eat at. The fried clams were very good. I enjoyed having lemon wedges, catsup and tarter sauce. I truly didn't need the fries and Cole slaw. It was plenty enough food. I decided to go for the black raspberry hard ice cream and boy was I disappointed. I got a pile of pink incense cream that didn't taste like black raspberry at all. I've eaten this flavor in a New England since I was a child. My first job was scooping ice cream at the Broadway dinner in Worcester, MA. There was NO way that was black raspberry. I told the 2nd girl that helped me and she said that's just the way it comes. On top of it there was something white hanging off the side. She replaced it with black raspberry Oreo and that was purple and tasted like dirty black raspberry. I had a hard time eating it and would never have their ice cream again. Pops has better seafood and the ice cream place across the street was better as well.

    Oh yum!!! I love a drive-in clam shack and Shibley's did not disappoint!…read more Hubby had a mushroom & onion burger with fries and a shake. Burger was juicy and delicious. Not sure, but it may have been hand pattied. I had the fried clam strip plate. Cooked perfectly, nice and crispy but not over done or rubbery. Delish!! An ample amount of food, I'm still stuffed hours later. If you're driving by, it's worth the stop.
