    Dreamsicle Shake
    Steven B.

    Yippie! This location is as good as the original location on McCausland. For being fairly new, everything went fairly smooth for a busy lunch hour. I wanted just a light lunch, so my order was simple. I enjoyed a single smash burger with Pepper Jack Cheese. My garnishes were kept simple, too. I had them top my burger only with; onion, pickle, catsup and mustard. It was a tasty burger. My side, of course was a small order of fries. No burger is complete without its fries. The fries were a golden color and had a crispy outside. You gotta enjoy a fry that has some crunch to it. They were seasoned lightly and I dipped them in their house catsup that was available on all the tables. Since it was my birthday, I treated myself to a milk shake. I choose, Dreamsicle as my flavor. It was, thick and creamy rich. I personally would have liked a little more orange flavor, but it was still good and flavorful. The staff was friendly and hustling to make sure everyone was satisfying. The dining room was minimalistic, which is okay. You're not there for a fancy dining room, you're there for a fantastic burger and that is what they serve.

    I swear I already wrote a review, but I guess not! This place is amazing! Absolutely delicious burgers and the fries seem to be seasoned with Lawry's, which is always a bonus. The servers are great, too. It's one of those spots where you order at the counter, but they bring your food out for you, so it's streamlined and quick. The overall vibe is very casual and hipster-y. And be sure to check out the daily special, as there's always something incredibly creative! Overall a fantastic burger spot, I'm so glad to have something like this so close to home.

    So happy they put a location in Edwardsville! We recently visited and enjoyed the giant mural while eating. It has an industrial-style interior with high ceilings and plenty of seating. They have dedicated bussers who clear the tables and runners bring your food out to you. We didn't wait long at all for our food and when we got it; it was piping hot, just how I like it. I got a cowboy burger, which is a mess of a burger, and I mean that in a good way. As I got a side of fries and a root beer float, I couldn't finish it. The root beer float is large and comes with a milkshake straw and the stirring spoon. I really liked the level of seasoning on the fries and appreciated they were so hot and fresh. My husband got the sweet potato tots as well as the Arch D-luxe and enjoyed them both. We will be back!

    Chopped Cheese sandwich

    We came here mid-week, mid-afternoon to satisfy our burger craving. We missed the lunch crowd so the restaurant was almost empty (yay). The restaurant looked bright and inviting nonetheless. Wife ordered a single cheeseburger (4 oz) and I decided to try the chopped cheese. Similar to what some call a "loose meat" sandwich, the chopped cheese is 8 oz of coarsely chopped and seasoned ground beef topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mayo on a soft baguette. It was amazing and, as expected, quite filling so I skipped the fries. She loved her cheeseburger. The ground beef here is top notch, very flavorful. She said the fries were pretty good, fresh, hot and crispy. She's very picky about the seasoning so I suspect that is what put her off a bit. The only real downside was the tomatoes. Being out of season, they were firm and tasteless. The service was fast and very friendly. Staff even came by to take our trays, something we've typically had to do ourselves. The total with drinks was around $30, not bad for the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back and I'll probably try one of their other creations.

    I went for dinner on a Wednesday night because it reminded of the Big Boy restaurants I grew up with as a kid. Super friendly staff, but the food was terrible and took a long time. It cost 26 for a single burger, fries and a milkshake. The specialty milkshake was good, but cost $3 more than a standard shake, which was not posted anywhere. The burger was over cooked and crunchy, the fries were soggy, and the fry sauce was average.

    I'm updating my review and giving them five stars! I tried their fried chicken sandwich and it's delicious! It is right up there with the best I've had! I really enjoy eating here. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful.

    I had a craving for fries and so we decided to try Hi-Pointe. It was about 4 pm on a week day. Place was empty. Cashier was pleasant. We got a cheese burger, fries, an oreo shake and an orange cream shake. The smash burger was good, buns were super fresh, fries were way too spicy (my lips were burning) and salty. The Oreo shake was interesting (had a big smear of the stuff that is in the middle of the Oreos down the outside of the glass with bits of cookie stuck to that. Wasn't super appetizing. The Oreo shake was tasty and helped relieve the burning from the fries. The Orange Cream shake was delicious. Both came in a shake glass with a large quantity of whip cream on the top and a Boba straw. Not good enough to win over other places that have the same type of menu. Thanks though.

    I was one of those locals that was excited when Edwardsville was finally getting a Hi Pointe Drive-In restaurant. Wasn't a fan of their McCausland location but I enjoyed their downtown one. The food was always great. And I can say the same about the Edwardsville location. You order, they give you a table number and just a few minutes later it's ready. I've been to the E'ville one twice and have had a great experience so far. Still serving those Excel sodies, including Ski. Gotta love that.

Pro tip: definitely check their hours before you go--and honestly, just plan your day around it because it's that good. I was expecting your typical little coffee-and-sandwich spot, but it completely exceeded my expectations. They have a couple of parking spaces behind the building, and if those are full, there's a free lot about 500 feet down the road. It was pretty busy at lunchtime. You order at the counter, and they bring everything to your table. There's a mix of indoor and outdoor seating in various sizes, and the decor is adorable. I especially loved the maps--they make great conversation starters. I noticed several tables pointing out places they'd visited and swapping travel stories. The menu has a nice variety. I ordered the chicken salad on ciabatta with a side salad. The chicken salad had a strong dill flavor that I really enjoyed, and the ciabatta was perfectly fresh--not too tough. Next time, I'll probably pick a different side since the salad was basically just lettuce. If there was any dressing, it was super light, so I ended up adding some of the lettuce into my sandwich. The surprise standout, though, was the lavender lemonade--a total sleeper hit. It was scorching hot that day, and I wanted something refreshing, so I ordered it on a whim. Honestly, it was the best lemonade I've ever had. I don't usually find myself making a special trip to a café just for lemonade, but here I am. I'm not sure if it's seasonal, but I really hope it sticks around.

    It always bums me when I have to remove a star from a local business. My last three visits to…read moreTeaspoon Cafe have not been what it use to be. However, the people of Edwardsville still love Teaspoons, because it was packed. Things that disappointed me on my last visit that made me decide to take a star away: They are now serving Kaldi's Coffee a STL roaster. I think it is a shame that they are not supporting one of the many local roasters on the Illinois side of the river. Was disappointed that their iced coffee lids were not sip lids. I prefer them, because I am not a fan of straws. I know some people need or prefer straws, but I like the option of not using one. Save the Turtles. Biggest disappointment was my food. I ordered the Breakfast Platter. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and hot and made fresh. They were very good. The English Muffin was also good. It was obvious it was freshly toasted, because the whipped butter spread and melted easily. The disappointments were the bacon and potatoes. Both were cold and tough. It was obvious that both sides were prepared ahead of time. The bacon did have good flavor, but it was chewy and rubbery. My potatoes were on the burnt side of preparation and cold and chewy like the bacon. Damn, when I've ordered this before it was good, not this time. I will at least say, the service and customer service is still good and consistent with what I've had before. Which actually saved them from getting two stars.

    LOVE teaspoons. It's such an underrated tea room in the area. Way better prices than the local tea…read morerooms in stl, but not the traditional experience. Every tea I've ever had here has been off the charts. They have caffeine free options, too! The teapot for two is excellent. I am a sucker for a pick two because I like a lil diversity. The ceasar salad is great. Big fan of the teaspoon pesto sandwich. My partner raves about the chicken croissant and always gets a side salad with olive oil. The workers are nice. Its seat yourself with a number and they clear the table when you're finished. Easy place to bring kids. Plenty of options for seating! Personally love the booth option.
