    Famous tea
    Gus M.

    The most impressive part was a sweet the server was. She had a smile that went from ear to ear. I had the chicken and dumplings soup and a sandwich. They were fast and efficient. The place was full of awesome, local decore, and it was a pleasant place to eat. They play nice radio music while you eat. I recommend this place.

    Chef Salad
    Deb D.

    Ordered a SW Salad and Chef Salad online. Went to pick up the food it was ready to go when we arrived. Once we returned home the horror started. Both salads were made solely of spinach that appeared to have NOT been washed. And the Avocado was molded. I called the restaurant to complain and advise I was coming back to return it for a refund. The explanation given to me from the on duty manager was a poor excuse. She admitted that the Restaurant Mgr required the staff to freeze Avocados once they become old and that was the reason for the bad vegetable. Who freezes Avocados?! She had no excuse for the poor salad prep in general. I will never eat at a McAllisters again. I did get a refund but was still charged a fee for ordering online. Explanation was that they cannot refund that charge. If this is the way they are storing and serving food to customers, it is a matter of time before customers start getting ill or worse.

    French Dip
    Mary H.

    Food was very delicious and plentiful. I had the take two the Savannah salad and Memphian which is a 3.00 up charge. My husband had the french dip and changed to provolone cheese was 1.50 up charge. So beware, everything is an up charge. With 2 teas our lunch came to 35.00. I did have left overs. Service was good.

    For a place that serves salads, they really don't have a very good variety of vegetables to put on them. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. The "veggie" chili was okay, but not great. If you're trying to eat vegan, this may not be the best place to try.

    Can anyone see the difference between the picture on the website and what I got?  After 40 minutes waiting

    Once again... hardly anyone in here and waiting 30 minutes for a to go Turkey sandwich and soup. The guy in front of me who has been waiting longer just asked for a manager. The staff couldn't possibly move any slower, and mostly keep their backs turned to the customers. They talk to each other occasionally, but it doesn't appear to have anything to do with getting the order out. Overall, this place REALLY SUCKS! Update See photos below regarding the spicy turkey melt I ordered and what I ended up with. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no avacado, no sauce, wrong bread. Soup was only filled about halfway up. Trapped waiting for 40 minutes because no one would even acknowledge me. Hope the go out of business. This is a busy area that deserves a better business to fill the space.

    So burnt they somehow only have half the potato left.

    Got the worst looking burnt potatoes I've ever seen. Absolute garbage and there's no way they didn't see how terrible they were when putting them in the box. They obviously don't care at all.

    this is a spud from two boxes of moldy spuds that as an employee we had to dig through to find the not molded ones to serve to guests.

    We had to dig in the boxes of moldy spuds to find ones that didn't look moldy so we could serve those to our guests.

    The club!

    Good food. The service was good. The manager was nice; she went around to tables talking with everyone. It was a great experience.

    Food was not correct and the kitchen staff was rude. If you don't like your job don't take it out on the customers.

    Customer service was terrible. Got hung up on multiple times and inconsistent information. The one in Fairview heights is much better.

    This was a pleasant surprise of a coffee shop. The food was good with lots of special coffee…read moreflavors. The service is amazing and friendly. Plus for a special treat swing by on a Sunday and enjoy one of the best cafe singers ever! We didn't catch her name but she was really good and we enjoyed our meal and coffee while listening to her sing. This is a very cute downtown coffee shop. It's in a small town and has that special small town vibe.

    Upon entry, I was greeted by a very friendly barista, and I believe her name was Leticia (sorry if…read moreI'm wrong). She introduced herself, asked me my name and welcomed me. That was very impressive! I ordered a peppermint bark & oat milk iced latte and she started that while I continued to look over the menu. Music was playing oldies -- The Temptations, The Dells, etc., which was a chill vibe. I then ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy as I am always on the search for the best b's & g's. Latte was handed to me quickly at the counter and my food was brought to me within 2 mins of sitting down. The latte was quite sweet, I didn't taste much of the espresso, which isn't my preference. I really am kind of biased though as a former barista myself, ;) However, I know next time to remember to ask for less syrup, if I order again. The b's & g's are very fresh -- the biscuits were warm and tender; the gravy is more of a brown gravy and not your classic white gravy. It was thick, with chunks of sausage, flavorful, with herbs on top. It was not that salty which I noticed right away as I am very particular about that. I appreciated that a lot! I don't think I would order these again, solely based on liking white country gravy better. But very flavorful and for someone else, worth a try! And they were served in a Togo container which is cool, in case I wanted to take it with me. The cafe itself is immaculately clean & that included the beautifully wallpapered bathroom. The tables are all clean and they all have pretty little real mums in cups, I love that simple touch - so cozy. One walls is covered with photography pieces for sale and as I photographer, I love to see the support for us and our work! Definitely super cool. As a NYC native, this cafe felt more urban-esque, while sitting in downtown small town Belleville and really such an, "at home" type vibe -- really though, shout out to the barista who really stands out in treating you like family. They live up to their sign, inside, "Welcome to the family." That's valuable! Overall, I'm super impressed with the service and I'll definitely come back to try another drink and more food. Definitely worth it! I recommend, Justitia's! Thanks for having me. :)

    the greenmount crossing panera has been my go-to for years, so i figured i should leave a review…read more the place is always clean, the food is consistent in quality, and my online orders are always on time. this location is a lot more cozy and efficient than the one in fairview heights, in my experience. if i order something i don't like, i just don't order it again and remember that it's a flaw with corporate and NOT the fault of the workers! in the Greenmount Crossing Panera, i've met with my pastor, studied for finals, cried at my phone, caught up with high school friends, and each time, ive loved it.

    I Went through the drive-through at Panera bread today. Purchased two Pick two dinners which…read moreconsist of a sandwich and a cup of soup when I went to pay, they said it was $24.56 however, when I looked at the receipt, they decided to add a gratuity of two dollars to my bill that I DID NOT authorize!! I called over to the manager. I said what is? They said well you agreed to pay two dollars I said absolutely NOT through the drive-through??!!! I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! The manager ran the bill again. He said he removed it two dollars but when I looked at my bank, it does not show that. So my plea with the public right now is to be very careful when you go through Panera they're charging you for a tip that you did not authorize! Another word for this one is FRAUD!
