Let me start off saying, you cannot go wrong buying your meats from their butcher case. If you're…read moregrilling, or entertaining, this is where you want to buy your meats. You'll be thrilled with a Ribeye, Brat or a pound of Ground Beef. Their chicken will even win you over and you'll be talk of the town. Everyone will be talking about your meat. Now, I want to tell you about their hot prepared foods counter. If you are lazy and don't want to cook, come and select from the variety of meats and side dishes. I've enjoyed; Pork Steak, Chicken Breast, Meat Loaf, Ribs and Hamburger. My sides have been, Mac-n-Cheese, Greet Beans, Scalloped Potatoes and Baked Beans. None have been disappointing, except for the cheese on the burger. I was just a cold slice of American Cheese placed on top. I did a little zap in the microwave to get it to melt a little when I got it home. The service is friendly and attentive. The reason they lose a star from me is one employee, is not so friendly. She's middle-aged and has the personality of a wet rag. I cringe when she is the one assisting me at the counter. When assisted by other employees it is an entire different experience. I will return and hope that I do not get the negative lady and hopefully be able to raise them back up to 5 Stars.

Holy cow, if you are needing a meat fix at lunch this is the place to stop.

Plus two sides, cheesy potatoes, cowboy potatoes, corn, green beans, baked beans, pasta salads, etc... Your mouth will be watering while you are standing in line. You can purchase a fountain soda and eat your lunch in the back room. On your way out the door don't forget to check out their wine, beer and spirits selection. You can get microbrews, any size flavor of wine and whiskey, which we all know makes one frisky...Oh yeah and more thing they actually have a meat counter, you can buy your meat and take it home to cook, but seriously why bother they do such a great job of it.

I thought the variety of liquor was poor and leaned towards the lower end of quality and price point. With that being said, my local grocer beats them on price. I was not impressed with the mixers, garnishes and bar accessories, too. However, they did have an extensive selection of beer and the prices were good. For me, a cocktail snob, I'll make the drive to Edwardsville or Saint Louis for a better liquor store.

Visits in JUL-AUG-OCT 2025…read more We moved into town this summer. Our realtor provided gift certificate as a closing congratulations. After we came the first visit I wanted to take my time, have a few more visits before I wrote. My rating of 3 (okay) in this case think of it as an academic C, a passing grade but certainly room for improvement. Rooster's Pub is okay, the food is okay, the service is okay, it is clean. If you are looking for a bar food meal this is an okay place to choose. You can stop here, disregard the rest and make your choice. I suspect that Rooster's is popular locally (and has some high ratings) is familiarity, and a customer base that hasn't widely traveled, there is nothing wrong with that. I am comfortable saying that this place is also likely a good bar, for those interested in that environment. It is not quite for me (us) as a restaurant. We have only been during the lunch hours. I have never owned a bar or restaurant. I worked in them at various levels earlier in life. I acknowledge how tough it is to be a bar that also has standout food. In my experience that is rather rare. I know that when a bar does get that balance right, they have a limited menu. They make a few things and make them well. A full menu is always going to have to carry some amount of frozen "Sysco" things dropped into hot oil. Our meals, I have had two okay tenderloins and one burger, my wife two fish (slightly overdone) meals, and one burger. My wish is for continued success for Rooster's, it is a fine place for others. As currently functioning it is not a place for me. This is also okay if the oil is always fresh, and the cook is attentive and pulls things soon enough to guard color/texture and the cooking finishes during delivery to table. On another note it seems that in our 3 visits, things are cooked hard and fast but then sit in the window, cooling until delivered lukewarm and past that "golden moment". A few lines about the fries. People do like them, I however do not prefer house cut fries. I think the basic restaurant frozen fry, well executed, is an easy win. Our's have been dark and soggy on arrival. I did get the tots on the middle visit (better), had forgotten the fry defeciency and got them this last time. My wife, a Midwestern lover of all things potato, left nearly half of her order. Overall plating has been a bit haphazard, not expecting a cooking show, but I do appreciate something that arrives looking intentional. There just doesn't seem to be a level of care applied to the meals that have come to our table (a note on that at the end). We have only had the same two front of house workers. They are polite (maybe stiffly and overly so), they get the order right and they accomplish the mission. However is feels a bit like a "transaction", which I understand it is, the customers aren't your friend. I don't think it's just us, there doesn't seem to be any warmth with anyone that comes in (even what I presume are regulars). If there is a scale with annoyed that I exist on one end, and a warm hug on the other, the service here is much closer to the left hashmark. A final note about my meals here. If the gaps in execution are some message that I am not worthy of a best effort, or simply not welcome- message received.

We've stopped in to Mississippi Culture a several times, and have usually found co-owner Tracy…read morebehind the bar. He's created an atmosphere--and product--that makes me want to stick around awhile. In fact, for our last visit we got carry-out food from an Italian restaurant in town and enjoyed it at MC's bar so we could make an evening of it. The mood in the room is comfortable, with high ceilings, dark wood, and just enough warm lighting. The music is cool; Tracy knows what works in the space and creates a nice vibe. Printed menus are readily available, listing current house beers, guest taps, and can and bottle offerings. They also have a nice cocktail menu featuring house-made cordials and such. And the beer--it's really good! They specialize in oak-fermented ales, and seem to know what they're doing and take pride in their work. A couple farmhouse ales hit the spot on a recent hot day. My fave on the menu was the Orange Peeler saison, and I regret not bringing home some cans (the first beer they've canned, I believe.) They also have some collabs with Perennial Artisan Ales available in bottles; those did come home with us. Another beer that's not currently on the menu, but I enjoyed a few months ago: Fuzzy Guitars, an oak-aged saison with blackberries. There's always something new and interesting here, as well as beers worth coming back to each time. Also a hit for me: the cocktails and mocktails. I chose a cocktail off the menu (the name of it escapes me... something about a worm) that involved tequila, absinthe, vermouth, and... I don't know what else but it was perfectly balanced and lovely to sip. I followed that up with a flavored soda that was also top-notch. Mississippi Culture is hosting events, including live music and trivia nights--I'm looking forward to returning for those soon.

And best of all you can pick a bottle, sit at the bar, and for (I think) a $6 corkage fee, have them serve it to you there. They also have some selections by the glass. You can order outside food for delivery there, and Cleveland-Heath (quite excellent in their own right) is literally next door. Still, might be fun if Bin 51 had a few snacks available... or perhaps even a cheese/meat/cracker tray... That notwithstanding, the wine selection is robust for a store of its size, and well thought out... and you can drink it there for much less dough than you'd pay for a bottle of the same stuff at a restaurant. Go for it!

They had 2 sessions for the wine tasting - the first hour was with the winemaker and after that, people were free to stop in to do the tasting at the own pace. It's a small space, so with people lingering after the first tasting, things were pretty cozy, but we found a spot to squeeze in at the bar. The bartender was very nice and got us through the tasting quickly. I would definitely come back to do another tasting again sometime or just order a glass of wine a la carte!
