    Appetizer platter
    Beth K.

    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 .

    Bottom of pickle chips....so greasy
    Sheri B.

    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 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.

    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!

    Large patio!

    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!

    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.

    St. Charles pasta.

    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.

    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.

    Stopped in to enjoy my St. Patrick's Day with some Corned Beef…read more Mac's was serving up a plate full of tender Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes and Baby Carrots. The Corned Beef was fork tender. Their cabbage was a mixture, half of my serving was mushy and the other still had a little snap to the texture. Both the potatoes and carrots were spot on, I enjoyed them more than I did the cabbage. The food never disappoints me. I follow Mac's on FB so I can see what the daily specials are. There's been many times when I see something good and it helps me plan my meals for the day. The steak specials are always a winner. I'm also a fan of their burgers, onion rings and Sunday brunch. My beverage of choice was a Citrus Wheat which is brewed here in Alton at, Old Bakery Beer Company. I'm not a fan of Guinness beer, so the local craft beer was a nice substitute. The service was attentive and friendly for a busy holiday.

    Whatever you do, don't get the blue cheese burger. It was dry and so bad. The bun was also stale…read more Just bad. On the flip side, the t bone steak was really good. Warning: the steak fries are just like a potato cut into 1/8s and fried. The regular fries are much better. Also, the beer garden area allows smoking. Not a great time for non smokers or kids. Service was pretty good despite being super busy. Definitely were attentive and always on the move.
