Instead of pieces of thinly sliced steak mixed with cheese, it was a thin sliced piece of steak with cheese on top. More of a steak sandwich. It was ok. The fries were well seasoned. And the homemade ranch was a standout. Service was pretty good. We had a big group and they did very well. Biggest turnoff was the semi outdoor area that allows smoking. Not a big fan of eating with cigarette fumes throughout the building.

I've lived in the area five years and I am still bewildered how people can smoke on the patio at…read moreRoper's even when the all the sliding doors are closed. I just always hope no one who smokes is seated near me. Today I expanded my menu experience by trying something totally new and different. I went with a Foul Ball, which is a chicken breast on a Brioche Bun with garnishes. I choose hand battered. You can also do, grilled or blackened. My breast was super thick and batter was crispy and had good flavor. As a side, I went with Tater Tots instead of fries. I've done this at other places and I'm starting to favor Tots. My beer was cold and the service was attentive. My server was training a new person and I think you always get better service when they are training. They want to make sure the newbie gets it, so they overdo it sometimes. I live super close to Roper's, but don't think of them when I'm heading out to eat. The food is good, I need to train my brain to remember them. I'll be back, hopefully sooner then later.

Their bartenders are friendly and so are the other patrons. Sitting at the bar, all conversations overlap and everyone participates. I've been back several times since my first visit. I mainly come for the Kobe Burger at lunchtime. A cold beer, burger and a basket of crisp fries always hits the spot. Their Friday and Saturday Steak Specials are pretty damn good, too. One visit I added, shrimp. A Caesar Salad, Steak with 3 Shrimp and a Baked Potato made for a great meal. I kept telling myself to try the pizza, so the next time I go for lunch, I will order pizza instead of my typical Kobe Burger.

When I moved into my new subdivision, I meet one of my new neighbors while walking our dogs. After…read moreour greet and meet, he commented he had to go pick-up wings for a party. Being a lover of wings, my ears perked up and I asked him where he was getting them. He told me, Sunset Bar and that they were the best in the area. Moving to my new home right before the holidays and during a pandemic, it took me awhile to finally go and check them out. He is right and so is Sheila T.. For a dive bar, this wings were killer. They had just enough sauce, so your fingers didn't get too messy and just enough spice make your lips burn. If your fingers do get messy, they give you a roll of paper towels to wipe your hands. Also, a double shout out to the kitchen crew. First, I like that my order had the same amount of drums and flats. It burns me when they are uneven. I know it doesn't affect the flavor, it's just my quirky personality. I want the numbers to match. Second shout out, is for the creative way they folded foil to seperate the wings and fries. It kept the extra sauce underneath the wings and not mixing and running underneath my crisp fries. The staff/bartender was friendly as were the other guest who were strategically spaced out around the bar following COVID guidelines. Several of them shared their favorite menu items and were genially interested in my opinion of the wings. It was also fun chatting with a group of day drinkers that were out bar hopping up the Riverroad. They truly were my type of people. When: February 6, 2021 Why: Checking out their wings.

Oh, Daddy. I like Catdaddy's…read more Catdaddy's recently went under new ownership. It's a new partnership that is mainly women. They are promoting themselves as, "A female owned space where women can let their hair down and have fun...We've got your back." They're promoting a safe place for ladies to have fun and not have to go it alone when feeling uncomfortable. The entire crew will have your back. It's a safe place. I met two female friends here for Happy Hour this past Friday. I thought I'd arrive early to secure a table, when I did the bar was already packed and it was just 5PM. I was greeted by a male bartender, who poured a good and refreshing Tito's with Seltzer. Pricing for a call brand was cheap. Not sure if it was a HH deal or not. I'll update that on next visit. The best way to describe, Catdaddy's is that it is an upscale dive bar. Its crowd was a good mix of ages, sexes and diversity. We were still there during the bartender change and the young lady who came on duty was also, attentive and friendly. There's no full kitchen, but they do offer bar pizzas, if you need a nosh to cut the liquor. I had fun, so I know I'll be back.

The menu has changed a little since I started dining here, but all the food has been delicious. Always pay attention to the daily specials, because they are always worth considering. You cannot go wrong with their wings, fries and a cold beer. My most recent visit, I enjoyed the Black & Bleu Burger with the premium side of Onion Rings. It was Blackened Ground Beef, Sautéed Onions, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Crumbles served on Brioche Bun. Yep, that fancy burger was served up at a dive bar in a country town of less than 2500 people. The bar has a good variety of whiskey and vodka, but when I'm here I always seem to enjoy a draft or bottled beer. Next time, I'll go with a cocktail and see how they pour. Service has never disappointed me and I've been seated at a table with a server and the bar with the bartender. Both were attentive and professional. I've even hosted a dinner of cousins and our group of 16 didn't phase the server, she did an excellent job. Want an inexpensive meal and a good time? If so, check out Main Street Bar & Grill.

After enjoying dinner at a restaurant in downtown Alton, I wanted something else to do. So I did…read moresome Yelp, FB and Google searches and found out that Bubby & Sissy's was having their 20th Miss Bubby & Sissy's Pageant. Watching that would be something else to do and it would be totally different. The crowd for this evening show was almost as entertaining as the contestants and guest performers. It was an excellent mix of diverse individuals. There were multiple M/F couples, senior citizens, Bachelorette Party and of course many members of the LGBTQ community. I even saw my waitress from the restaurant, when she got off work. The bartenders were hustling making sure everyone had a cocktail, as they enjoyed the pageant. Two of the bartenders I knew from other establishments in the community, but they work at B&S now, because we all know gays are good tippers. Don't judge Bubby & Sissy's for being a bar supporting the LGBTQ community. Just think of it as a dive bar supporting the local community. I've seen wild deer out on their patio. So if deer feel safe at B&S, you can, too.
