Kaden's Kickin Chicken is a great addition to the Alton Metro Area. We already have several…read moreindependent fried chicken restaurants and KKC is going to have some of them shaking in their fryers. The menu offerings are all chicken. You can enjoy a traditional chicken dinner, tenders, a sandwich or an order of wings. They also offer, chicken and waffle and you can also have gizzards and livers. The sides are true Southern sides. My first visit, I enjoyed a two piece all-white meal with a side of fries. The chicken was super crispy and the meat under the crunchy skin was juicy. Best of all, it was not greasy. The seasoning in the breading was simple, but full of flavor. I loved the fries, they were seasoned with salt and pepper. The blend of S&P was so good, I didn't need ketchup. KKC is one of those restaurants that you order at the counter and if you dine-in, they'll bring your food to you. The dining room is small and simple, it's just table and chairs. Only decor is their logo painted on one of the walls. In addition to the delicious food, the staff is professional and friendly. As a side note, Kaden's Kickin Chicken is owned by a female. So you're not only supporting a local business, you're supporting one owned by a woman, too.

We had a bulk order for a birthday party and so many people came to ask where the food was from because it was "the best chicken strips I've ever had". Genuinely heard that from multiple guests, lol. They were very accommodating when putting in our order, I would absolutely recommend them if you have catering needs!

I ordered catfish, and they brought me tilapia like I wouldn't notice the difference. Completely unacceptable. They were out of every basic drink no sodas at all and handed us water in cheap red plastic cups. On top of that, the building was freezing, like they didn't care if customers were comfortable. The service was horrible. Our server had an attitude, moved slow, and acted like serving us was a problem. The entire place felt unprofessional, unorganized, and not ready to serve anybody. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money. Lovett's Soul Food is an embarrassment at this point. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This Lion's Choice never disappoints. Whenever I am in Edwardsville shopping, or running errands…read moreand it's time for lunch, I head to Lion's Choice. Lion's Choice may be considered a fast-food restaurant, but your sandwich is made fresh. If you order inside at the counter, you can see them slicing your roast beef. My go to cheese is my favorite cheese, Pepper Jack. The seasoning they use and the Pepper Jack makes it a perfect sandwich to me. When anyone ask me, which fast food place has the best french fries, I always respond, Lion's Choice. Their fries still have the skins on, are fried crisp and just lightly salted. The kitchen is always clean from the counter view and the dining room is well maintained as well. The cashiers are friendly and provide excellent customer service. If you like Roast Beef sandwiches with or without cheese, I highly recommend you go and enjoy one at Lion's Choice. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I typically order a Pastrami sandwich, but today I went with, The Betty which is a turkey sandwich. Thanksgiving is later this week, so I thought I'd get a jumpstart on enjoying some turkey. The sandwiches are all made fresh and they are plentiful. To eat an entire sammi you have to have a hearty appetite. I actually think two people can share one sandwich, but get a bag of chips for each of you. The staff if friendly and you know the kitchen is clean, because you can see it and see them making your food. If you love a good deli sandwich, Sammis is where you need to go.

It is so good good. And Taco Tuesday is a do not miss. Every week is a different taco and they are all great. The service is just what anyone wants - they are fast, efficient, kind, funny, and friendly. The environment is a sandwich shop connected to a bar. Go for the food. It is clean and there is a wide variety of sodas and drinks in the cooler. We see everyone from my yard guys to my doctor here. There is truly something for everyone.

I finalllllly checked out JJ's on a recent Friday for lunch and had a hard time deciding what to…read moretry first but ultimately settled on their porksteak plate with cheesy garlic mashed potatoes & baked beans to go. My order was ready and wrapped up in about 3 minutes and still piping hot when I got home. I really loved everything I had - the bone in the porksteak had fallen out it was so tender. I would definitely order the potatoes and beans again but will probably want to branch out to try some of the other sides the next time I go. The porksteak was pretty saucy so I would recommend asking for that on the side if you don't like a ton of sauce on your BBQ. The staff was super friendly and the inside is pretty bare bones with simple table & chair set up but clearly kept very clean. There were 3 tables of people eating when I came in. I'm not 100% sure, but I do think I saw at the check out that you get a discount if you pay in cash (I know some other local places pass on card processing fees to customers so not unheard of). I paid in cash and my plate was $13 and well worth it! I'll definitely be back to try the ribs or brisket soon!

Unfortunately, they were sold out of pork steaks by the time I arrived (understandable considering it was an hour before close). I made an audible to the 1/2 BBQ chicken, which was awesome in its own right. The most impressive part of the meal to me was the green beans. I have high standards for green beans but they knocked my socks off. The mac n' cheese was solid. The service was fast and friendly. The inside is not anything too fancy (when is it ever at a barbecue place?) but was clean and had plenty of space.
