Had a delightful weekday lunch here on a recent road trip. I went with the pork tenderloin "shoe."…read more If you aren't familiar with the "shoe" it's a mid Illinois thing with Texas toast, topped with your choice of protein, fries, and your choice of sausage gravy or cheese sauce. Each element of the plate was great, good tenderloin, lightly battered, crispy fries, and outstanding cheese sauce. They were very busy with the local crowd, including a couple of tables of card players. Just one employee and a cook holding down the fort, but they managed well. Wish I knew what was in that cheese sauce.

Service was lousy, and food not much better…read more Had the place been packed I would have ignored this, but when the place is empty bad service and food is in no way acceptable. Eat here every Saturday morning both service, and food are always good. Will never make the mistake of eating here again in the evening, nor allow that server to ever wait on us again.

And I would have been totally fine with that if we had an apology or an explanation or any sort of updates. Alas, we waited more than an hour, the place was almost empty, and we have no idea why it took so long. But this isn't the kind of place to go to if you're uptight and in a hurry. And the burger was very tasty. Sooooo. Okay. I'll give this 4 stars. Fun place. Unique little country convenience store restaurant.

I ordered a cheeseburger and fries from the bar at Argosy Casino, and honestly, it was about as…read morebasic as it gets. The burger tasted like standard frozen fast food,no real flavor, or freshness and the fries were just cold, nothing crispy or seasoned enough to stand out. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't good either. For a casino setting, I expected at least some effort or flavor. This felt more like a quick filler meal than something worth recommending. If you're hungry and need something fast, it'll do--but don't expect anything special.

I'm so excited for Alton - this place looks awesome! A good mix of adult and family fun. The bar area had a row of alcoholic slushies which I'm super excited to try! The food menu appeared to be extensive enough - wings, pizza, fries - what you'd expect at an event center. The service itself appeared to be pretty quick as they kept calling out orders. The building itself (split level with a basement) had games on each floor! I'm talking about Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, Connect 4, VR gaming, old school arcade games, pinball, racing, karaoke. Multiple options to choose from, wall to wall! I look forward to visiting again soon!

When I moved into my new subdivision, I meet one of my new neighbors while walking our dogs. After…read moreour greet and meet, he commented he had to go pick-up wings for a party. Being a lover of wings, my ears perked up and I asked him where he was getting them. He told me, Sunset Bar and that they were the best in the area. Moving to my new home right before the holidays and during a pandemic, it took me awhile to finally go and check them out. He is right and so is Sheila T.. For a dive bar, this wings were killer. They had just enough sauce, so your fingers didn't get too messy and just enough spice make your lips burn. If your fingers do get messy, they give you a roll of paper towels to wipe your hands. Also, a double shout out to the kitchen crew. First, I like that my order had the same amount of drums and flats. It burns me when they are uneven. I know it doesn't affect the flavor, it's just my quirky personality. I want the numbers to match. Second shout out, is for the creative way they folded foil to seperate the wings and fries. It kept the extra sauce underneath the wings and not mixing and running underneath my crisp fries. The staff/bartender was friendly as were the other guest who were strategically spaced out around the bar following COVID guidelines. Several of them shared their favorite menu items and were genially interested in my opinion of the wings. It was also fun chatting with a group of day drinkers that were out bar hopping up the Riverroad. They truly were my type of people. When: February 6, 2021 Why: Checking out their wings.

I gotta come back at night time when there is a bustling bunch of bowlers in the bar area. I was the only one in the grill at lunch time, so the bartender was busy stocking and the cook had to come out and do double duty as a waitress. I will say, my beer was cold and the frosted glass gave it an extra chill. I had a cheeseburger that was a hand patty. My garnishes were onion and lettuce and I had a side of fries. It was all served hot, but not as quickly as I would have thought being the only diner. I think with the workers do side and prep work made things a little slower. That is why I'll return and give them a second try.
