Wings were delicious and chicken tacos were spot on! Tater tot's cooked to perfection -- but the atmosphere is what wins! Great place and service! Hard to get into parking lot but worth the maze! read more

Good is always amazing and still hot if not warm when it arrives through DoorDash! Always quick and efficient too. I'm picky so if I call and make a change to my order that I wasn't able to do through forecast they're always super nice and helpful with meeting my requests!! I always order from here, definitely recommend. read more

Every college town in America has an Ike's Bar and Grill. There's a good reason for that, and Ike's in Charleston, Illinois does more than a sufficient job of filling the gap when you're looking for a cold beer and a reasonably priced, tasty burger. The service is prompt and friendly. The place has a hint of nostalgia, since it's been there forever, so the atmosphere is really cool. There's nothing shocking about the menu... sandwiches, burgers and a handful of tasty fried appetizers. We had the mozzarella sticks which are definitely a cut above the average cheese stick. The owners of Ike's could easily run to Gordon's food and stock their freezers with that type of product, but instead, they choose to step it up in with the quality of their food, and it shows. We dropped our daughter off for her second year of college, and we discovered Alex last year when she was a freshman. It's now pretty much a stop for us every time we're down there. I guess at night, Ike's turns into the university's Greek bar, but in The early evenings or late afternoons, it's filled with regulars who understand the value of a dollar, and appreciate a really tasty sandwich. My wife and I each had two ice, cold beers, some mozzarella sticks, two burgers, and a basket of onion rings, and the whole dinner cost us under $50 with a tip. read more

We were traveling back home and wanted a good bar burger. Ike's sounded like a great choice when we searched. The establishment has history, which I like. I would recommend it. The burger was cooked exactly like I ordered. Our server was so nice. I asked him what was good, and he took the time to tell us what the best lunch items were. Burgers, wraps, pretzel with beer cheese. There was a party going on, so it was definitely a very friendly local bar. Onion rings were great, too. Well, we did find Ike's for a great burger. You must try this little bar on the corner. read more

Best bar in town with Amazing food. Get the inside out grilled cheese; you won't be disappointed!!! Tammy is the friendliest of friendly. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a nice lunch or dinner there, then okay darts, pool, or win some money on the slots! read more

Ikes feels like home! The food is phenomenal and you absolutely can't beat the prices. The grilled chicken bacon ranch wrap is my all time favorite but is closely rivaled by the bourbon burger. Drinks are inexpensive especially compared to Chicago and the staff is kind and attentive. If you're looking for somewhere welcoming with some local history attached to it - Ikes is the spot. The atmosphere is cozy and they have pool, darts, and even some video gaming if you're into that. The owner puts heart and effort into every day that place is open and it shows. It's hard for a bar to feel so cozy and welcoming and at the same time have the capacity for amazing nightlife but Ikes does it all. read more
