The kids love it! The food is wonderful as well! Award winning chili and yummy hot wings are on the menu. Tons of sandwiches, but if you don't want meat, the roasted veggies with garlic bread are great too. If you're on a low carb diet, the grilled chicken breast has the best seasonings! Beer is cold and service is fast and friendly. It's definitely worth a stop in this little bar if you like little "dive" places with great food, and fun ambience. Oh, almost forgot to add: the prices are extremely reasonable.

Geno's first opened in 1942. Do the math, that means they have been serving the Bethalto area and…read morebeyond for 83 years. That is some impressive longevity for a restaurant. My cousins Aunt (from her other side of the family) turned me on to Geno's. She is older then Geno's and sings the praises of the Wednesday special. On Wednesday, they offer what I'd call a, Blue Plate Special. It's a healthy sized serving of Meatloaf, a side of Mashed Potatoes with Brown Gravy and daily vegetable. The day I went, I enjoyed Green Beans. It was comfort food at its best. True down-home cooking. I had also heard from other Onion Ring addicts, that the ones at Geno's were pretty impressive. When dining alone, an order of Rings and an entree can be too much food. However, to my surprise Geno's allows you to pay a minimal up-charge for a side of Onion Rings. In my opinion that is genius. I was able to enjoy my juicy cheeseburger and instead of a side of fries, I got to experience their famous house made onion rings. They were large rings, well breaded and crispy. They also paired perfectly with the burger. My next visit will be to try their chicken wings. I've heard they are the best in Madison County. Service has been nice and friendly. The type of service you'd expect at an old school family ran restaurant. Very comforting and welcoming.

The food is simple, made fresh and is totally affordable. I ordered, Breakfast Special #6 and it was only $8. I enjoyed, two scrambled eggs, bacon, one biscuit and gravy and tater tots. They offer 3 choices of potatoes; Hashbrowns, American Fries and Tater Tots. I was going to order American, but the waitress said her favorite was the tots, so I took her advice. They were a nice change of pace. I was surprised, about the seasoning. Most diners I have eaten at, are heavy on the salt, but not here. I actually had to add salt to my food and I am not a big salter. 6th Street is on my way to my part-time job and I am fairly certain, I'll be stopping for breakfast on the regular.

When you stop by, you'll have either the son or father waiting on you or preparing your delicious breakfast. Occasionally, momma will come out of the kitchen in back and assist. It is a true family affair. I've only done breakfast and it is top notch. The grill is right behind the counter, so you get to watch your meal being prepared. Their Hash Browns are top notch and I also recommend the pancakes and Biscuits and Gravy. Actually, their entire breakfast menu is a winner. Next on my agenda is to stop by and experience their lunch. It's an easy find on Broadway and there's plenty of parking across the street in a gravel lot. I recommend you go give them a try, you'll be glad that you did.

I had some early morning test done at the hospital up the street and when I was done, I knew I…read morewanted some breakfast at Village Inn. Got there and got a little concerned the parking lot only had a couple of cars. While I was finishing my phone call, I saw several people walking out with carry-out. I went in, the sign said to seat yourself, so I slid into one of the booths. There were several tables filled with diners. My waitress arrived at the booth quickly and gave me a menu. I ordered coffee and asked to have time to glance over the menu. I knew what I wanted, but it was a new menu since my last visit and I was curious if there was anything new. It pretty much the same, but the new one looks way better. I went with the, Pancake Combo. It includes two of each; pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage links. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. I think they are some of the best pancakes served at local diners. My eggs were prepared hard and I requested the yolk to be broken. I then added some of their house branded hot sauce for an extra kick. The bacon and sausage were just, okay. They were cold, it was obvious both had been made ahead of time. It would have been a great breakfast if they were fried fresh. Now the explanation of the seeing the carry-outs. While I dined I saw the different waitresses place bags on a rack next to the door. After they placed a bag, shortly thereafter a person would come in and grab it and go. Seeing this tells me, they do some serious Grub-Hub business. The service was good my waitress was attentive and I loved her funky glasses. Dining room was clean and looks like it had a facelift since my last visit and it's looking good.

Family-owned, Roma's was a delightful experience. After being seated, we were greeted by a friendly server and ordered our beverages. Browsing the menu, I ordered a Bosco Stick and a medium pizza. The Bosco Stick was warm and filled with gooey cheese. It reminded me so much of the Bosco Sticks I would eat as a child. The meat sauce was a great addition to use as a dip and wasn't too meaty. I ordered a medium pizza with extra cheese, jalapeños, and mushrooms. It was so good! The pizza came out about 25 minutes after ordering and satiated my pizza craving! Roma's is nothing fancy, however, it is a comfortable environment with delicious and affordable food. Next time I am in town, I will have to come back!

Instead of the typical fries, I ordered their Tater Tots. Wow, the Tots really hit the spot and they may be my go to in the future. I like their variety of bottled beers and I always change that up, so I can check in on my Untappd app. I've never been disappointed in the service. The servers are attentive, friendly and they really hustle when it gets busy.
