    Cinnamon butter
    Amy D.

    We love to try put non chain restaurants when traveling. Several locals recommended us to go here and man am I glad we did. The service and food was wonderful. We started with appetizers and free rolls with cinnamon butter and regular butter Catfish bites $8.99 I swear the plate had 30 little golden nuggets full of flavor. The breading vs fish ratio was spot on. Served with some really good tarter sauce and a lemon wedge Bloomin onion $8.99 blows Texas Road houses away by taste and size. Served with a side of sauce (reminded me of a spicy ranch) and so good For our dinners Grilled Chicken dinner $14.99 with greenbeans and a side salad. 2 huge well seasoned chicken breasts cooked perfectly and the best green beans I have ever had. 14 Oz Ribeye $23.99 served with a huge loaded bake potatoe ($1.50 upcharge but so worth it) and the loaded potato soup ( probably the top 5 best I have had) Overall our experience was a 10/10 amd once we are back in town we will definitely be back.

    Was driving through Mt Vernon and was looking for something other than a chain and found this place on Yelp. To describe it, I would say it's a very toned down Long Horn. It was clean and was a pretty laid-back place. The grilled chicken sandwich with mushrooms onions and American cheese was delicious. It was a pretty good-sized chicken breast and was seasoned nicely. The potato soup that came with it was tasty as well. The cheeseburger my wife git was juicy and seasoned well too. The service was a little slow, but there were only 2 servers. It was bad service at all. A very simple place with a small menu but very good. The prices are right too.

    Honestly the ambiance is a bit odd. The entire thing is western themed which I guess is somewhat appropriate as I'm in the middle of the country but odd nonetheless. The establishment is clean and there's ample lighting and seating. The food on the other hand is well above average. The rolls come hot with butter as well as cinnamon sugar butter (which honestly is just cheating at this point) and the Caesar side salad I received was crisp and inoffensive. Nothing crazy or mind blowing but good standard food. The ribeye I received was on the thinner end and had some sinew in it but otherwise was cooked to what was requested and the fully loaded baked potato that came with it was hefty with no shortage of toppings. The steak my friend received was similar, with appropriate grill marks, cooked appropriately, and the sweet potato was more akin to dessert than a side but who's counting at this point. The price point on everything was great and would totally come back. The only thing holding this place back was that at the beginning of the meal we received a dirty plate that needed to be sent back as well as the odd décor. The tables here have an interesting stickiness to them but nothing absurd. Try this place out if you're looking for some affordable steak dinners!

    This evening I was in town and I saw the billboard about this place and wanted to try it out. I walked in and was greeted by Danielle and Gatlin they had a smile on their faces and were friendly and kind . They sat me in I Greg's section he was my server . He was nice and helpful and didn't rush you. I checked out the menu and made my choice. I got a salad to start it was great then I got a Filet mignon sweet potato and green beans . It was cooked perfect and hit the spot. I couldn't have been more pleased with the food and the service. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. I will be back many more times.

    One of the oddest cheeseburgers I can recall ever ordering. While I admire the chef's /…read morerestaurant's enthusiasm to do something exotic, here, it didn't work. It's about execution. The meat was quite odd, both in consistency and taste. If I had to guess, they took reject pieces from their steaks and ground them up, perhaps several days ago? You couldn't cut through it with a fork. It had a strange taste to it. It wasn't at a warm or hot temperature and tasted stale. The onions that they added were delicious, but way too minuscule in size and bulk to have any taste impact. The bun was ordinary, despite their raving and reliance on its quality, and it being a Kaiser roll. The burger lacked customary garnish. Why I order cheeseburgers at high end establishments? In part? I like the quality thick beefsteak tomato slice and crisp, fresh lettuce. Here? No garnish at all, just a patty with a little cheese and onion. If the patty was fresh black angus and juicy, without the weird consistency and taste present here, and had they lavished it with mountains of similar onion and more cheese? --The risky and odd approach to making a cheeseburger might have proven successful. For this cheese to suffice, it, too, would have needed to be more pungent in taste, and abundant in presence. You could barely taste it. The mashed potatoes were quite good but way too salty. I literally crunched down on some salt crystals. That's when you know there's inordinate salt. Weird service and rock hard chairs made this bizarre stop on the way to St. Louis/ Denver more painful to savor. What irritates me was that I had to order a Caesar salad just to obtain roughage. And when you take the $30 for the salad and burger combined into account? That's a lot for such an odd experience. In summary, anyone who watches and implements the Gordon Ramsay Fword cheeseburger recipe on YouTube will end up with a vastly superior cheeseburger. In this town, while I am visiting only, from what I've read and seen in reviews, I'd recommend instead the frosty mug for basic food along these lines. A $24 burger better be pretty darned special to attract this sort of tab. This was just weird, not great. Sorry, no photos.

The prime rib, which was a special that night, my dog would not eat. There was nothing but fat and gristle and extremely thin cut. You could tell our server knew it was bad as he never returned asking us about the meal, just showed up to give us the bill. Quality and professionalism which was there in the past is gone. Every aspect that brought us back has disappeared so we will not be returning.

The restaurant is obviously a local favorite spot as many other patrons were greeted by name by staff or other diners. We seated ourselves in a booth, of which circles the rest of the room with several tables down the middle. Service was quick, sweet tea for me, not often found in Illinois dining, but perfectly done for this southern girl. Hubby was just as happy with his unsweet tea. The homemade vegetable soup was warm, thick with vegetables, even some cabbage, midst the creamy broth. My hand-presses cheeseburger was as delectable as any, and would have been perfect if tomatoes were in season and carried more flavor. But the lettuce was crisp, the onion sharp, and the pickles crunchy. Hubby has a tossed salad and the catfish dinner. The fish was cooked in cornmeal, a real "down home" dish, plenty of it and plenty of flavor. Hush puppies were delicious, but not enough of them. Then, we both ordered dessert even though we knew we couldn't finish them: strawberry cake and a lemon crème pie. Out of this world! The price was reasonable for the excellent food and service, even in these days of austerity. We definitely intend to return to The Grille!
