It's right off a one of the main drags in collinsville. I did enjoy the funny stuff all though out and their bathroom door signage. Husband ordered their fried pickle spears. Those were good. The breading was very tasty. I tried the cheesey sloppy Joe and sweet potato fries . It was good. Very sloppy as a joe is known to be!! I ranked it a 3 because the table was kind of dirty upon seating and my step child and I saw men just using the ladies restroom. This isn't a bad bar to go and have some cheep food and watch a game at!

I came back to try one of their smash burgers. I went with, The Heritage. It had Gouda Cheese and…read morebacon. I like Gouda Cheese and it's not offered on a burger at many places, so I took advantage of this opportunity. Adding bacon to a burger is a no brainer, so the pairing was a winner. For a side, I went premium and enjoyed a side of house-made onion rings. OMG! These rings easily make my top three onion rings. They were huge, sliced thick, the onion still had a snap and the seasoning on the breading was super peppery, which I like. They offer a good variety of draft beers and we all know a cold beer goes well with a smash burger. My bartender was friendly and attentive. She was hustling serving the bar and tables in the bar area. She made everyone feel welcomed. When in Collinsville, I'll be sure to stop by again. They're adding pizza to the menu and I'll have to give it a try.

Ranch dressing KILLLER!! 10 out of 10. Baked Beans 3 out of 10 disappointing. Very bland. They were fresh beans but needed more seasoning or something. They weren't very busy so it was pretty quiet overall but they have Touch Tunes so that was nice. Waitress (Madison) super attentive, friendly, 10 out of 10 for her! We will be back to see how they evolve!!

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 .

The bar itself is gorgeous and the selection of drink drinks and what they have on tap is more than I've seen anywhere else. The service is pretty much immediate, the mixed drinks are fantastic (and I am very finicky about my mixed drinks), and the food....OMG THE FOOD! I really don't like burgers, but the person I was with got a burger and it was amazing and insisted I tried it and let me tell you, it was the best freaking burger I've ever tasted my entire life! I went there a second time, on a Saturday night, and it was very busy, but service was still very quick, my mixed drink was perfect, music was great, but not too loud where you couldn't hold a conversation and they even had security! At a bar/restaurant on Main Street in Collinsville!! as a tiny little female, who happen to be there with her tiny little female family member, I felt super safe and had a great time! So if you're looking for somewhere to go eat, I suggest Sloans, (I just found out they did brunch on weekends and I can't wait to try that, plus they have a full Lent menu, so no having to search while I'm allowed to eat on a Friday right now!). And if you're looking for a place to hang out and have a good time, while still feeling safe, with good service and good drinks later on in the evening, go to Sloan's!

I am not sure about my rating - the food was pretty good but 3 out of 4 us were overcharged for…read moremeals. We had ordered one of their lunch specials- pizza with 2 toppings and small side salad for 11. Good deal, right? Well our bill had the $11 as expected but $1 for each ingredient so we were charged $13 instead of 11. One of friends went to ask the waitress- she was aware but wasn't sure how to change it. Geez at least tell us about it. The main bar /restaurant area is pretty cute but I thought the restroom could use some upgrades.

You had the options of moscaholi, tortellini, chicken Parmesan, and a beef bruschetta? All were good and fulfilling. Then they ended it with cheese cake. Huge slices we had food left over they allowed us to box up the rest to take home. To drink I had a Bellini which was nice and refreshing. Some of my coworkers had the chocolate martini they loved a lot!! I'd love to go back on my own time to eat here. I've heard great things about their egg plant... Parking is street or there's a lot in the back area. I love their Tiffany lamps in the main dinning area. We sat in the back room that's used for events. If your company has a party here. They did great!!

They were good but a couple bones had very little meat. The apple "cobbler" consisted of apples with some oats on top... no crust or dough at all. It wasn't sweet or bad but definitely not what I'm used to when it comes to fruit cobblers. They may need to reconsider the name. Service was fast and under 15 minutes for a to go order. The restaurant was decent but empty and I noticed a few other people ordering carry out instead of dining in.

Typically leaving just "concessions".. you know pizza slices, hot dogs... "ballpark filler" Enter stage left... Longshots Atmosphere: Country music vibe (something desperately missing from the Mo/IL st. Louis scene. (As much as I loved Honky Tonk's... when thst's pretty much all there is) With new bands every day the restaurant is open. It just happened I picked "Nelly Day" to spend the day at, so things were running later than usual - so thr live band for lunch was a little later than normal. (And they were closing for "Special events".) So the atmosphere from the servers and bartenders was kind of hard to judge due to the awkward hours but if the few here today were the norm... you will be in Good hands So the food: Reasonably healthy portions for the burgers and pizza (of corse all with a bzrbecue flavor... maybe next time I'll definitely hit the Pork Pit. But obviously expect somewhat higher prices ($$$ of 5 in my opinion) So expect higher prices as part of the Fairmont Park Complex but you cannot complain about the fact that Longshots is a much needed addition to making Fairmont Park a FULL entertainment experience.

She even brought us a complimentary cake for our anniversary. The food was great. For starters we got the pepperoni bruschetta. It was delicious. The presentation was amazing. The steak was very tender. I got the Porter's signature grill pepperloin and baked potato. It came with their signature mustard sauce on the side. The steak was so tender that I cut it with the fork. I didn't know what to expect but everything was excellent. She got chicken marsala over whipped potatoes and green beans. She loved it. We got the 7 layers chocolate cake and cheesecake.

Everyone knew everyone. Now they've moved back to the area, it's my favorite go to place for breakfast after mass on Sunday, as well as the best place to go for brunch or lunch, if you have different pallets than the people you're eating with, because the restaurant serves breakfast all day, and has everything from burgers to country fried steak, gyros, taco salad, and actual steak, so you can hit any pallet and please everyone in your group. Service is quick, you'll never have a coffee cup half full, or a drink where you can see the ice above the soda, and the restaurant itself (although completely different inside than what it was 22 years ago), has an atmosphere that is relaxing and comfortable.

Generous slices of very tender lean corned beef with course cut potatoes and carrots. Both tasted as good as they looked. Definitely worth a return visit.
