I'm used to southern barbecue, so I imagine my shock when I found a place around here that has…read moregreat barbecue!!! I have eaten both in restaurant numerous times, as well as DoorDashed numerous times, and I have yet to be disappointed in my food! The restaurant is always clean, and has a very welcoming atmosphere. In no way is it a southern barbecue establishment, but it kind of gives the feel of one with the charm, if that makes sense? I love that they don't put the sauce on the meat, because a lot of barbecue places over sauce (I know most people would consider that a blessing, or still say there's not enough sauce when their meat is literally in a soup of barbecue, but I like to tailor my sauce to meat ratio and appreciate they give me that option). They have multiple barbecue sauces to choose from, and I've tried them all and love them all, but.... And this might be a hot take and an unpopular opinion in Collinsville, but hands-down my favorite thing is their baked beans, lol! Oh my goodness, they're baked beans on their garlic bread.... It compares to nothing I have ever tasted!!' Don't get me wrong, I really do love the meat, sauce selection, and many of the other sides (my second favorite being the fried okra), but oh my goodness the baked beans, it's like the nectar of gods!!! So whenever I get asked where there's good barbecue in Collinsville, I told them I'm not sure where to find good barbecue, but if you want great barbecue, only place to go is Bandanas!

Wife & I stopped in early afternoon (1-2pm) February 3rd, 2026…read more Coming in the door we were impressed at the lay-out, it looks authentic for a BBQ place with plenty of room for her power wheelchair. I had a 2 meat platter, pulled pork & shrimp with mac & cheese & baked beans, wife had wings. To say were impressed in an understatement, the food was fresh, which that early we weren't expecting fresh but hoping for it since most BBQ places at that hour serve yesterday's leftovers warmed in a microwave but NOT HERE! The staff was welcoming and patient while explaining the menu to us. Service was just as good as the food, it seemed everyone was in a good mood and that goes straight back to management. They're doing it right! Good Job Everybody Wiz & Nini Thompson Six Shooter Karaoke

Consistently good food. Not what I ordered this time, but the brisket tacos are exceptional. We…read moreusually get the 3-meat platter that comes with two sides and bread and butter. The burnt ends were the star of the show, so juicy! My brisket was a tad dry. They also put the sauce in the fridge so it's cold, but there might not be a way to avoid that food-safety wise. Their wings are also really good. The mac-n-cheese side is good. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring your food out to you. The only other thing I don't love is there's two rooms, the main room and a room off to the side, and especially if you are in the side room, it feels like you are crammed in there with a ton of other people and sometimes it gets really loud. When it's nice enough, we prefer to sit outside as they have a few picnic benches off to the side that are covered.

I would be shocked if there's anyone who has lived in Collinsville for more than five years that…read morecannot say that Burt's chuckwagon isn't a hallmark of the town, as much as the ketchup bottle! I lived here in the late 90s and remember when it was on the corner of Clay Street, and I was drugged in by a couple of friends from high school, saying that they had the best food, I'm such a picky eater, and I didn't think I would be able to find anything at a place called chuckwagon, that I'd be willing to eat... oh, but I was wrong! They have something for every pallet and the food is all amazing! When I move back 14 years ago and saw it was no longer on the corner of Clay Street in 159, I literally felt a pain in my heart and I lived here for over a year before I mentioned to someone else how I was upset that Bert's was no longer around and how I couldn't believe it shut down, just to find out it hadn't, they had just moved a main street!! I was there with him 48 hours and oh my goodness how I had missed the awesome that is the Chuckwagon! Whenever I am asked what we should do for dinner by people who are in town visiting and they can't make up their mind on what cuisine they want, I tell him we're going to Bert's Chuckwagon, watch them, wrinkled their nose, tell them too late. I've made up my mind and that's where we're taking them and I get them there and I watch their eyes widen, as they try the food! Bert's is the best open secret Collinsville has to offer and if ever you find yourself, not sure where you wanna eat or have guests in town who can't decide between Italian/Mexican/chinese or just a good old burger, make the executive decision and tell them you're taking them to Bert's. Make sure that you emphasize the chuckwagon, watch their faces as they come to terms with what you just said and try and talk you out of it, but stay firm, stay quiet about what they're getting ready to walk into, and take them to Bert's!

One of our favorite places in Collinsville! We have been going here since their last location…read morewhich I loved but the newer location is way bigger and more convenient. We are always greeted by someone quickly and service is always outstanding! I'm obsessed with their super tacos but that's because I prefer a flour Shell. If you like a corn shell better stick with the regular size. I didn't get one this trip but their mini pulled pork sandwiches are also a great choice! Prices are reasonable and whatever they do to their soda it's the perfect mix With the "sonic" ice!

All four of us got something different (I think one was a blueberry beer of some sort... but don't quote me on that), and all the drinks were so good, that we had to pass them around for the other others to try! Ended up going down the menu and ordering another one for each of us, so we got to try eight drinks in total and all of them were epic! The bartender was super sweet, and right there, even though the establishment was pretty busy, as soon as one glass got down to 1/4, he'd come by and ask if we were ready for another, but wasn't intrusive as much as just making sure we were OK and seeing if we needed anything. He was there and gone in a flash, as I think, he thought that since we were two couples, he didn't want to interrupt any conversations, but wanted to make sure we were taken care of. We made sure to tip him well. The restaurant was clean, the bathrooms were fantastic, especially for a late evening out at an establishment that serves liquor, it felt like a high-quality establishment, but in no way did we feel out of place, nor were we made to feel out of place. If anything is the exact opposite. The bartender made it where it was very warm and welcoming in a good place to socialize for us. We will definitely be back! Next time and time to try the food too!

I'm not gonna lie, I almost didn't go in because there was no one in there who looked like me. But…read moreit looked so inviting and it's black history month, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did. I've been a lot of places, but the country girl in me remains. So when I saw the mason glasses on the table I knew I was about to eat good. The menu was straight to the point (they have hummus) and that makes me feel like you're sharing your favorite dishes consistently. The drink menu is extensive (because it's a distillery) and there are so many unique things you can try. I had the blackberry lemon press and it was yummy. We also had the sloppy fries, smash burgers (one with signature bacon jam), onion rings, cheesecake, and carrot cake. It was all very flavorful. They have a store attached if you want to take some drinks home & they have a virgin menu for your Christian friends. The dining room is well lit and you can eat outside on good weather days. Even in bad weather days, it's a nice view outside with only glass between you and outdoors. Staff were great and service was timely. I would say the food is cooked to order & you don't need to tell them how to prepare a burger. It comes out juicy and medium well to perfection. They also have a BBQ kick to the ketchup they serve. Oh, there's a Rte 66 sign around the corner if you're just passing through (but I get the sense they know if you're not from around those parts). I hope your dining experience is as good as mine was!

The beer here is pretty cheap, if you're paying by card there is a $10 minimum. I didn't have any of the food but the menu I saw online looked really appetizing. Staff here was pretty young but the crowd here was more middle-aged than anything. It's in a pretty busy intersection too. They have Gaming Machines too. They have an outdoor area but it was too cold to be over there. In the far back room they have basically a Four Seasons room but they have a heater so it doesn't get too cold over there and boy does it feel like it could get to 90° over there like you're in a senior center or Florida! Overall I was pretty satisfied with a visit here though it was pretty short .

Nostalgia! I haven't had snoots in a long time and it was…read morenostalgic to me to bite into one for the first time in almost a decade and a half. It's crispy and saucy. The snoot and rib tip combo is so worth it. All combos are $10.70. It's a lot of food for the price and it is well worth it. Next time I will get the brisket. The trick is to order inside because you do get your food faster. The drive thru line is super long bc all food is to order! There's not much seating inside but people mainly order and take their food to go. If you need a snoot, this is the place to go to! No frills, just great food.
