It had plenty of bacon, which was a plus, but could have used a bit more mayo -- of course, that's a personal preference. I had chocolate pie for dessert and it was delish! The slice was large enough to share. Staff was friendly and prompt. For lunch, the meal was a bit pricey, but what isn't nowadays?

My husband and I booked a cabin at Hidden Lake Winery for our anniversary at the recommendation of…read morefamily who raved about their experiences there (although it had been a few years since they'd been). After reading some concerning negative reviews, especially with a very rainy weekend forecast, we worried about a lackluster atmosphere and being confined indoors. We even agreed to cut our losses on the cabin and leave early if the experience was truly as bad as some reviews suggested. Thankfully, our stay was the complete opposite--a delightful surprise that exceeded all of our expectations! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and beautifully maintained, with no bugs inside (despite plenty outside, as you'd expect with any cabin in the woods). The jacuzzi was clean and relaxing, and we enjoyed complimentary breakfasts of bottled water, orange juice, and delicious muffins. We were even charmed by playful and curious baby foxes outside the cabin one morning. One of which came right up and peeked through our door window! The winery itself was a highlight. The food and wine were phenomenal. Quick and good service as well. We didn't do a wine flight, but requested to taste different wines at the bar before buying a glass and there was no deposit charge for the glasses as some reviews mentioned. There was plenty of covered outdoor seating that let us enjoy the views and atmosphere, despite the rain. Indoors, the upstairs offered board games and stunning views. Bartender Jeremy and owner Steve were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to accommodate us with anything we needed, and even offered some great conversation! Steve's 3 dogs often accompany him to the winery and they are so gentle and sweet! You'll also find pictures of them throughout the inside of the winery! While heavy rain prevented us from hiking around the lake or to the waterfall, we had an amazing weekend. We can only imagine how amazing of an atmosphere it must be on a sunny day with live music! We left feeling grateful for such a wonderful anniversary and eager to return. I truly don't understand the negative reviews. Give this place a shot!

Absolutely beautiful location with nice areas to sit, relax and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere…read more Definitely recommend it for a venue or a place to relax and enjoy the afternoon. Unfortunately, all of the wines were slightly less than just OK. Definitely don't recommend any of them which was disappointing. The biggest negative was the fact they charge a five dollar glass fee for every glass to ensure you return it when you do a tasting. I've never seen this at a winery before. Frankly, most vineyards encourage you to take their glass so they have the enduring advertising. The highlight of our visit was the patriotic theme and sincere appreciation for our service members. Thank you for that.

Without Yelp, there's zero chance I…read morewould have eaten here, and yet it turned out to be a fantastic option as we were driving down I-70 towards St. Louis. We were headed to the airport and I searched for a 'diner like' place just off the interstate around an hour away. I came across Powhatan, and while the outside didn't look like much in the photos, the food looked great and the reviews were excellent. I bookmarked it, and sure enough it didn't disappoint. The outside is a basic restaurant attached to a hotel/motel. Think side of the road bare bones motel. Honestly, if I hadn't read the reviews I would have just kept on driving. Inside was very nice - not fancy but very bright, clean and welcoming. There was also a small slot machine area off to the side if that's your thing. I ordered the Pocahontas Pride, which was chicken friend steak, two eggs, hash brown casserole (I opted for plain hash browns) buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. I think it was $15. And it was enough food for two people easily. Very good, and very filling. My daughter ordered boneless wings (I tried a couple since there was too much food for her) and she and I both loved them. I'm normally hesitant to order wings outside of my normal places, but she will order them anywhere and she gave them great praise. She also added 1/2 order of onion rings which were both great and ample - I thought they actually got the order wrong there were so many. Wife wasn't feeling well, so she ordered a simple order of hash browns and liked them. All in all, a great experience for a quick stop during a long drive. Again, without reading the reviews in advance, I doubt I would have ended up at Powhatan. But I'm glad I did!

The inside was decorated with pictures of Illinois' two favorite sports teams - which would be the Cardinals and the Cubs, along with historical references to old Route 66 that had so much influence on these small towns in Southern Illinois. We had a very good meal, great service, and all at a very reasonable cost. I recommend you check this place out.

Anyway... the two of us had water and a Dr. Pepper which came at once along with warm bread. Was disappointed the butter was margarine. My opinion if your going to go out why skimp on the butter? I know it's a cost cutter but margarine is poison. Leaves an after taste and kinda messed up the bread. Moving along. We ordered southwest raviolis and skillet mushrooms for appetizers Both were pretty good. Again the garlic butter was not butter. It was a clarified margarine. It almost ruined it if it wasn't so tasty. Would have been spectacular with real butter. Raviolis were delicious with a sweet southwest sauce. Very good. For dinner my best girl had the broccoli con chicken. A take on Alfredo. It was delicious. I hade the 14oz ribeye rare. It was cooked perfectly as I would have had it at home. The seasoning they used was very tasty. The steak was laid on a sauce that I found out was a reduced Andria's sauce. I loved it. When I asked about what it was the manager was kind enough to let me know the ingredients and gave me some to take home. With my steak I had a vegetable medley of green beans and zucchini and squash. It was very tasty also. I'm a sauce guy so I asked for A1. Turns out the sauce bed under the steak was a perfect combination. Also on the side was Gouda smashed potatoes. A first for me. Kinda thick and tacky but a little of that special sauce and they kicked ass! Dinner salads were on a freezing cold place. I like that. Balsamic vinegar for me was pretty strong but very very good. My best girl got her regular ranch. It was very very nice meal. For the money I thought it was fair. Did I mention the waiter recommended desert? She got the carrot cake and I got the peach cobbler. I'll have to fill you in on those after we digest our meal. We got them to go. . . Go to Popeyes and enjoy a nice dinner.

It's one of a very few places in the area that isn't a chain, isn't just burgers and pizza, and also isn't pretentious or overpriced. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. We've been there at least ten times and only once was the service slow. It was an anomaly because they're usually really on top of things. Ambiance is a friendly, but upscaled downtown cafe/bar place that is perfect for taking out-of-towners or a fun brunch with the ladies. (They have a separate brunch menu on Saturdays!) I don't drink, so I can't comment on their drink selections. I'm taking away a star because the parking situation is annoying, especially during construction. There is street parking or a huge parking lot in the back. However, the back parking lot is a terrible hodgepodge of concrete and asphalt and a gazillion potholes and no super clear direction on how to get to the restaurant. Some signage would go a long way in helping customers to not only find parking, but once parked, to them navigate back to the little crevice where the back door is located. The back porch is located behind a larger portion of the structure and you can't see it from the parking lot. Additionally, if you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, it's next-to-impossible to park near enough to the door to make a difference. The handicapped parking spots are 40 yards away from the back door. All that said, we will def go back because there's nothing else like it in the area.
