Place seems like a fun night place. For lunch, it's standard bar grille food. Not a huge standout. I had the cheesesteak. It was odd. 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. read more

I've lived in the area five years and I am still bewildered how people can smoke on the patio at Roper'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. read more

Service was good and atmosphere was good. The food was sub par. I ordered the Royal Reagle sandwich which used to be one of the best sandwiches in the area. However, it is no longer oven roasted. They basically throw super thin slices of meat on a griddle then put them on a bun. The meat was very greasy and very chewey. I would definitley not order this sandwich in the future and would think really hard before coming back. It's a shame because it used to be very good. read more

The bar/restaurant has a closed in outdoor patio and inside seating options. We went on a pretty hot day and it was still pretty sweaty out on the patio. Not that they can control the outside temp , but they didnt have all the possible fans going , so we eventually moved inside to eat. Our server was very nice and flexible to let us move to inside seating. The food was okay. They had your typically bar food . read more

It's gone tremendously downhill in the kitchen. To the point where I ask if the special is good and the waitress shakes her head ever so slightly. She knows there's trouble in the kitchen now. Which is to say, the food sucks. I can't speak to the outside bar. Which looks like a good place to drink and smoke. Just not my bag. That's why I gave it two stars instead of zero. Avoid the food. read more

Had not been to Ropers in a bit, so we stopped in on a recent Sunday evening. We were greeted and seated promptly and sat in the bar area. We placed an order for the pickle chips and went back to the menu to select our dinners. Initially placed ordered for brick oven grilled sandwiches, but the oven was down so we went to second choices. The new choices were brisket tacos and buffalo chicken sliders. When the pickle chips arrived they were warm, but not super hot like out of a fryer. A short time later our entrees arrived. The brisket tacos had cold brisket and the taco was only a bit warm at the bottom (fold) area and the brisket actually felt colder than room temp like it may have been refrigerated. The chicken sliders came with tots and were really good with good buffalo spicy flavor and these were served hot. The pickle chips ended in a pool of oil/grease. I know they are fried, but it seemed like a large amount of grease in the bowl. The service got slower and slower. Had to ask multiple times for blue cheese that was ordered with the chicken and was not asked about wanting an additional drink until we asked for our bill. At that time, we were done eating and I would have appreciated at least a water to go with the last half of my meal. Instead, we just took the bill, cold tacos and one chicken slider to go. Not sure when I will be back, could have been just an off night. The bar area was busy, but not full and the also have a nice large outside patio area and even a stage for bands when it's warm. read more

Read all of the other negative reviews on google. Aside from the owners being POS, there's plenty of true stories with many witnesses about what happens in the kitchen that should deter anyone from ever ingesting food here. Add in the bugs and the business owners celebrating the people of their own community starving, there is literally no reason to go here. There's a million other places in Alton, Godfrey, Wood River that deserve your business and you will be much more pleased with. read more

Food was fairly good . I had soup and salad bar. Hard to ruin that. I ordered a glass of wine and was very surprised that that have changed to round bottom glass with very small amount of wine in it. I ask her how much wine was in it and the server said they told her an eight count.to count to eight and that's how much wine you get. It was seven dollars. I came home and have a glass exactly like that and I poured 4 ounces of wine into my glass and that is the exact amount that was in my glass at Roper's tonight. It is my opinion that they are selling 4 ounces of wine for seven dollars, which is ridiculous. I won't be going there to order wine anymore. my friend also ordered wine and when she found out, it was seven dollars for that small amount she sent hers back and got a canned drink. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. Just left there ordered taco special, they don't tell you the special part is roaches in the food. Will be contacting health department read more

Large patio out front and to the side. Huge projector TV in it even. They had $3 Margs, which is always a draw had a girl date with my gal pal. This place was surprisingly wonderful. We started with some loaded tots & I got cheddar broccoli soup with my main course. I'm telling you these tots should have come with this soup my tortellini was loaded and super tasty I had a nibble of the steak sandwich too, we came to the right place for sure. Our waitress was attentive and helpful! Thanks Macey! Little out of my way, but I will come back! read more

The owner thinks it's funny that 42 million people including Children lost their food assistance. He suggests "don't care work harder" ignorant piece of crap. Also the service here is always terrible and food mediocre at best. read more

Food is not good. Drinks are not good. Service is iffy. Ownership is ignorant and celebrates millions of people losing their ability to receive food benefits. Owners have never been pleasant and have treated customers and employees with disrespect and rudeness. Not to mention the place is NOT clean. read more

We arrived and were told to seat ourselves, which we did. I guess that also meant we were expected to serve ourselves, because we sat for 25 minutes without a single person checking on us. It's not like they were short-staffed--there were plenty of waitresses around, most of them on their phones. It really seems like the place is lacking proper management. I'm absolutely upset about the experience, especially since dining options in Godfrey are already limited. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. It's sad to watch what used to be a successful restaurant fall apart. Ever since the original owner stepped back, things have gone seriously downhill. read more

Maria server was great! we made decision to come here today because we were told that you would have all the games on all TVs for football. We had to make numerous request and we're given by your bartender that she was we were watching on some of your TVs. Maybe you should have employees working that either care or know how to function the TVs for Sunday football of your business interest being a sports. We decided to leave and go to Mac's and they satisfied our request immediately as they truly appreciate their business.. It is sad to pay so much for DIRECTV and not make good use of it for the benefit of their business their employees. read more

We popped in here on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded. There is a bar side and a restaurant side. We sat on the bar side at a high top table. The bar side will eventually connect directly to the patio - as of now they have a temporary wall while they wait for custom doors. The menu had plenty of variety - typical bar food and more! I saw a cajun tortellini and HAD TO HAVE IT! It was a great choice - delicious! There was quite a bit of butter/grease in the sauce that may turn some folks off, but I enjoyed it. Hubby ordered nachos for an app and wings to eat. I tried both and they were good but not the best I've had. We had the fajita chicken nachos and they had a weird sauce on them and pickled jalapenos which I didn't love. The wings were "hot" sauce style, but the sauce wasn't really hot. Had an underlying flavor of maybe some type of jelly. Out friend ordered a pizza - thin crust. He and Hubby really enjoyed it. It was good but thin crust isn't my fave. Overall I feel most of the "I didn't love it" items were really preference for me and not necessarily their food. The employee that helped us was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back - especially once the big patio is open! read more

Horrible experience. AC was broken and service was slow due to not enough waitresses and cooks. Food was alright but had to send back due to not being hot enough. Waitress was very friendly and apologetic and even though there was no manager on duty for some reason, the bill was slightly discounted due to our experience. read more

Good better than just bar food with lots of options including non fried!!! Our server was busy but did her best to stay attentive! And a locally owned biz! A short drive from watching the eagles in grafton and alton area!! read more

I wanted to update my previous review specifically for the wings. I ordered these naked and extra crispy. They were great! Much bigger drummies and flats than I've had here in past. Sauce was not spicy at all but did have good flavor. I would order the wings again and ask for extra crispy. Burger is still a solid choice too. read more

We came here for lunch while attending a conference. The place is huge, with a couple of bars and plenty of seating. It was 5 of us, and we each ordered something different and everybody really enjoyed what they had. I had the Italian wood-fired sandwich which was excellent. We also had the winds, which were smoked, not fried, but still very crispy. They know how to cook wings on a grill. The service was quick and friendly. Probably a local hotspot on the weekends, but if you're passing through, defiantly worth stopping here for a meal, or drinks. Or even gambling on the casino games they have. *shrug* read more

If possible, I would rate Roper's 3.5 stars. Based on several visits. On our latest visit. We started with my wife's favorite appetizer, Buffalo Shrimp. Its amazing, a must try! I had the House Salad. With the house dressing a creamy balsamic. My wife had a Caesar Salad. Both were generously sized salads and very good. My wife ordered the Mushrooms Nantua, the flavor of the sherry wine dominated over all other flavors. Perhaps they added too much. Other than that it was good. It was prepared well. I would give it a second chance. I ordered the St. Charles Pasta. Which I have had before and it is fantastic! If you like Cajun pasta, I highly recommend St. Charles pasta! Service at Ropers. Can be hit or miss. And I would not say that we've ever had extremely poor service. And I think what affects the service. Is the size of the place and at times crowds. They have a four season patio, that allows smoking. And a separate indoor dining room/bar. The patio seems to draw the bigger crowd. Which takes away from the service, for those that choose the indoor dining room. Roper's is unique, that is meant as a compliment. Some of the menu items are not what you would expect to find in a sports bar type atmosphere. But, in a nicer restaurant. That includes their buffalo shrimp appetizer, and the Saint Charles tortellini pasta. read more

Today I had the baja shrimp, jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon and breaded then deep fried. Cocktail sauce on the side. So good. Sweet iced tea to round it out. My server, Ella, was the bomb, always on top of things and checked back regularly. Always good music playing on the speakers. read more

Fun place. Solid "bar food" menu with a variety of burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches. The Ultimate nachos were a nice surprise with some quest and "secret" sauce (slightly sweet) to make them unique. The bar can make you any sort of flavored vodka drink, has a decent selection of wine (really) and enough other basic liquor to satisfy anyone. Plenty of room and TVs for everyone. No sightings of Jack Triooer and the crew, but it was an enjoyable dinner. [Out-of-towner enjoying a local dinner place.] read more

Food is superb. Decent service from a busy staff... So, food was really good. Staff was ok - I could tell they were not especially happy to be there. But - they powered through. Plenty of parking. Waited a while for food. Burger was tasty and stacked. Steak sandwich was on point. Nachos had plenty of love. Negative stuff...sour faced wait staff. Some were eating while putting orders in and not washing their hands before serving the next table. No soap or towels in the bathrooms. You guys can do better. Room for improvement...but food was solid. read more

Tonight I had Ropedaddy's wings, online order/takeout. Despite being very busy, the food was ready when I got there 20 mins after ordering. The wings were enormous and amazing. Buffalo sauced perfectly without going overboard like many places do. The house ranch was also amazing. One order of these is more than a meal. So I used to get my wings from another place in town that says their wings win yearly 'Best Of' awards. Um...Regal Beagle have the best wings in town, and by far. I will be going back soon for these. read more

This place gets more dirty every year. Last night we went after a Blues game, around 10. There were about 20 of us at the bar. At least three of them were employees who weren't working. They would go behind the bar and make their own drinks. A couple people were openly smoking pot at the bar, with the hammered drunk owner there not caring. We sat next to tea pitchers covered with bottoms of plates. The food used to be good, but there was a local viral video showing the kitchen, which was disgusting. We stopped eating there years ago, because the waitresses cared more about socializing, drinking, and vaping than delivering drinks and food. The owner is your typical bar rescue type alcoholic. The clientele looked strung out. The place was dirty. It used to be a great place to sit on the patio and have a drink. What a shame. read more

I love the outdoor seating here. Very nice place. Their snackers are really good! Would go back.

The service and the food was disappointing. We were there on a Monday evening at about 5:30. For a Monday evening and a not being very busy, it should not have taken 45 minutes to get two hamburgers and French fries. The hamburgers worry overcooked and had the texture of hockey pucks. read more

So we decided to go to Regal Beagle for dinner because they had a great menu online. But the food was mediocre. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The bun was so soggy I couldn't pick it up. The pork itself was nothing special. My wife ordered the Italian sandwich which she said was also so so. Now the service was great, prompt and attentive. That's why this review wasn't a two. The restaurant part of the place was nice and open and sporty. read more

We've been here a few times, and never been disappointed. They are a pretty standard bar and grille type restaurant, with a large selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, entrees. They sometimes have a salad bar, as well, although there aren't many choices. They have a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Several televisions line the walls. Service has always been quick and friendly. read more

Went there for Taco Tuesday twice now. Excellent food and service! Will definitely continue to visit!

Ordered pizza and an app, we only got the pizza. Pizza was good. Was told the rest was on its way and we never received it.

Convenient in Godfrey Illinois area this restaurant is a sports grill with a variety of food. We came in on a Friday afternoon and were quickly greeted and offered open seating. The waitress was a tad short but relatively attentive though not great. We opted to order a pizza which was very well topped but not cooked thoroughly. The thin crust was almost rubbery and the cheese a few minutes shy of being cooked completely. The restaurant appeared clean and the ambiance felt fun and upbeat. read more

Picked up dinner after golf. Ordered brisket tacos and fish tacos to go. The patio is open but we aren't still comfortable eating inside or on the patio. The brisket was delicious, the sauce with avocado, tomato was delicious. The fish tacos were great. Well worth ordering again. Ralph does a great job in the kitchen. read more

Stopped in here for lunch, and I'd do it again. First, I had a Moscow Mule which was quite tasty. Then my friend and I split the Royal Regal sandwich (the Italian dressing on this MADE it!) and the Baja Shrimp salad (HUGE tasty shrimp!). We could've just picked one of these, and filled our bellies just fine. Very large helpings, quick service, reasonable prices... Pretty good in my book. read more

I think they are Prejudice. I was given the " Our kitchen is closed line". Lower standards. Then. Ok. You might like it?

Used to be really good, Im not sure what happened. Service was slow. My mom ordered the special, Lasagna and all of the rest of the food came out but hers didnt. She finally got it- nearly 20 minutes later. Asked for a box and didnt get that either. The pasta dish next to me was soaked in oil and grease. I had shrimp and loaded tots and ended up in the bathroom as soon as I got home. read more
