The Atomic has a habanero aioli, Pepper Jack cheese and grilled Hot Giardiniera Peppers on a toasted jumbo English Muffin. The burger was smashed perfectly and the English Muffin was a nice twist and change from a typical bun. Since I changed up my burger, I thought I might as well change my side, too. 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.

Awesome, Sauce! OMG!…read moreI already knew Saucee makes incredible wings, from a previous dining experience. The last time, I enjoyed my wings plain with no sauce. This time, I went with Sweet Heat. Damn, it had the perfect combination of heat and sweetness. I definitely order it again. The wings were good sized and meaty. They were super crisp and the sauce was evenly coated. My order came with 6 pieces and they were evenly distributed, 3 flats and 3 drums. The side of fries served with my wings had some of most flavorful seasoning, I have ever had. It was spicy and peppery. The portion was huge, so big that I took half home and reheated them as breakfast potatoes the next day. I was surprised how well they reheated. Made my breakfast extra tasty. I was surprised how fast my buzzer went off, letting me know my order was ready. While I dined, others at the communal picnic table were drooling, they were jealous of my order. The service was top-notch and friendly. The young lady taking and passing out completed orders was actually charming.

But, the food lacked flavor and lots of it. The fries tasted like they were made in old grease and I couldn't enjoy my fried pie because I found a hair on it. They only offer ranch, cocktail and tartar for sauce options. The tables needed wiped down and the floors needed a good cleaning, everywhere you walked you heard the sound of your feet sticking to the floor. I wanted to like them, but I truly don't have a reason or desire to come back.

A couple of my visits have been parties for graduation, retirement and a thirtieth birthday. Food was good, beer was cold and the cocktails had a heavy pour. Sometimes I dined alone and enjoyed a hot chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger, wings and catfish. All of them satisfied my hunger and were better than average pub grub. For a while they served breakfast, but that's a thing of the past. When they did, the chicken and waffles were good. The bartenders and servers are always attentive and friendly. Alton Sports Tap is one of the better sports bars in the Riverbend area.

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.

There was only one car on the lot, and it didn't look like the lights were on. Another vehicle showed up and went to the door. Lo and behold they were open. We followed suite and went inside. The young man at the counter didn't greet us. So we opted to use the self service kiosk. We already browsed the menu ahead of time to make everything easy. We both ordered the chicken Sandwich combo, which comes with 1 side and a breadstick. You can choose what flavor you want, so i opted to get the Nashville hot (Spicy). We waited about 10 minutes before we got our food, i checked my bag to ensure everything was correct and headed home. The food was still piping hot once we got home. The Sandwich was juicy, and tender. Seasoned well, and not overly spicy. The fries were crispy, but yet still soft in the middle. They were little spiral cut fries. The breadstick was soft, and fluffy and the Parmesan drizzle on top added extra flavor. The Nashville street corn was delicious. The Parmesan drizzle was a great added touch. I would add a little salt to add some flavor/seasoning and some shredded Parmesan for extra texture. There are two small tables inside for those who want to dine in. There are also a few slot machines for those who like to play slots. It's painted black so it makes the place feel small and dark. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely worth giving them a try.
