I brought my father out to Spike's to try it for the first time with him. We were kindly greeted…read moreand told that we could sit anywhere we liked. Pretty chill atmosphere, right off the bat - no uniforms for the servers just comfy clothing. We chose one of the rooms, just opposite the bar. Alexis quickly greeted us and served us our drinks. As we waited for her to come back to take our order, I admired the cool decor. It's very farm-esque, of course, as Millstadt is a farming town. Paintings of farm animals, vintage Coca Cola signs, etc. The music was lightly playing near the bar and it was pretty busy in there but not loud. Big screens above the bar played racing and the TV's were on near us but I could barely hear the sound, just closed captioned. I appreciated the fact that I could really enjoy my time with my dad and be able to hear him. I ordered a cup of chili and Cesar salad combo. I was very impressed with the chili! It's a go-to and if the chili impresses- I'm bound to try other things at any restaurant. It had just the right amount of kick and great flavor. The Cesar salad was off to me; it was drenched in Cesar salad dressing, the croutons at the bottoms and very little lettuce. However, the flavor of the dressing impressed, it was just too much for me. I would definitely order the salad again, but be sure and ask for the dressing on the side.. which is totally my mistake because I usually do and forgot this time. Overall, it was very tasty. My dad, being from the south, knows his gumbo! He ordered it to try, along with the pulled pork sandwich and fries. From first bite, he kept saying how good everything was. He said the gumbo was probably the best he's had from any restaurant. He was just as impressed with the pork and said it was fantastic. The guy isn't even into sauces and complimented that as well. The fries were crispy, that goodness because the guy doesn't play with crap fries. :) Overall, the service was great - Alexis was excellent! A sweet young lady, super fast and attentive. And it's always an A+ when I see a waitress be super kind with my dad. Well, done, Alexis! When we were ready to pay, she was busy with the manager and the nice bartender gal came over and took our check - it was nice to not leave us waiting. Very mindful staff, good customer service & that speaks volumes! Flavorful, all around! Pretty cool place. We will be back to try more on the menu. GREAT JOB, Spike's!

The atmosphere is very inviting and warm. They were playing some Johnny Cash and similar artist on the stereo which added to the welcoming feeling. Almost felt as if I was already a regular. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and happy to give suggestions! It was a Wednesday we went when they have $1 stag drafts and $. 55 wings. Try the Wainwright burger and wings, you will not be disappointed. Had Amanda as our Waitress and she was FANTASTIC! Very knowledgeable and gave good suggestions. She suggested to get the garlic parmesan and house hot sauces on the breaded wings due to the sauce being thinner while the BBQ sauce will be good on naked. What a great suggestion! And the wings stay crispy and not soggy from the sauce even once you get to the last one. My uncle tried the tamles.... They are to DIE FOR! You have to try them! Killer! I am moving to the area come summer and this will be a place I will be visiting often!

Coming to this Columbia, Illinois hot spot and enjoying the atmosphere you can see why. Be prepared to seeing it totally packed on the weekends. I wanted to see the two bartenders I personally consider the stars of the venue Abigail and Kassidy. As beautiful and talented as you obviously see they are it's their guest service and personalities win the day. Two sweeter and more genuine individuals I challenge you to find anywhere. I'm going to be 100% honest I actually do get nervous coming into see them. It's hard to imagine seeing two angels on Earth. All the girls rock and provide premier service. I lived in St Louis for 14 years and I must say this would definitely be my spot if I still lived in the area. With Abigail and Kassidy it's like coming back and seeing friends I've known. I get that impression it's their style with all guest. I travel the country and these two are my two favorites anywhere. I'd highly recommend if you're a first timer you request them. They're hard working and get their business done. And tip the well!!! They deserve it. Thank you. Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida.

I would say come well before 10:30pm to not be disappointed or denied entry via a locked door. Adult Slushees are best when the man with the long locs makes them. **END UPDATE ** Food is pretty good. They have $5 adult slushee drinks on Thirsty Thursdays when they're normally $10. Today I went there and got a few throughout the day. I love to patronize because it's not even a mile from my house & black owned, I believe. I drove back there later in the night, and the door was locked. It was 10:53 and they close at 11. The TVs are vibrant and the staff is 7/10 on friendliness & service. Takes a while to get food you order. I'll go again, just not close to closing and not when it's busy. The owner is customer service oriented and wants his patrons to have a Good and positive time.

I was picking up the tab, but we used her rewards to save a few bucks in today's economy. To toast my BFF's birthday, I had one of the many craft beers Beffa's has on tap and the majority of them are local. With it being my friends birthday, she had a glass of Prosecco. Cheers! We both went with one of the smash burgers for our lunches. The birthday lady went with a Frisco and I chose the Pub. The Frisco was a single patty with white American cheese, Swiss cheese and 1000 island dressing on sourdough. My Pub was also a single patty with "pub" cheddar, bacon, pickle and sautéed onion on a brioche bun. I loved the crispy bacon and sautéed onions, it really made the burger. The fries were super crispy and seasoned well, with both salt & pepper. The service is always friendly and attentive. We joked as we dined, that if we knew a single young lady, we'd want to introduce her to the waiter. He was cute and had a great personality. Lucky for him, we're not matchmakers.
