I thought it was a cute place with the white and navy blue colors. You can sit outside or inside. We decided to eat inside. There was about 9 nine people that ordered and was waiting for their food. I know this because while I was trying to order my food, every 2 minutes the other customers would go up and ask about their food. I seen the disgruntled look on these people faces. I would say when it came to anything that dealt with ice cream, it was ready in minutes. But when it came to food such as burgers, fish,fries, it took about 30 mins. My take on this is this establishment needs to keep up with the demands of what they offer. I would suggest limiting the items to choices that are a quick turnaround. They thrive in making the ice cream products fast while the fast food items take 10mins or more. I did not order the Funnel cake due to the worry of waiting for 10mins or more for it. I did not have any issues because I ordered a banana split, Concrete ice cream w/strawberries and Monster cookie on a cone. My selections were ok. I think it satisfied my sweet tooth, but I think the consistency of the ice cream can be improved. If Ted Drew's and Costco is in your rotation, then there's no need to explore elsewhere.

Again didn't get what I was supposed to. I ordered a Toms Praline concrete and I got vanilla ice…read morecream with maybe 2 whole pralines total in it. Nothing else.

I got it delivered while working long hours over the weekend and hadn't heard of it before - to my detriment, because WOW. My order: Biscuits with duckfat gravy and an overhard egg Extra biscuit with their house jam Seasonal lemon berry griddle cake Jalapeño rosemary fries I'll start with the last thing. I LOVE rosemary, and like the taste of jalapeño but jalapeños themselves don't agree with me. So they arrived without jalapeños as requested, and were very good. There wasn't much rosemary flavor, which was kind of a bummer, but I would get these again in a heartbeat. Well-cooked, not too soft but not too crispy, nice and fluffy inside. I love a good spiral-cut potato and these didn't disappoint in that regard. The lemon berry griddle cake was phenomenal. They're pretty big, so a single will do most people (I had quite a bit left over). The whipped lemon curd was AMAZING, and the berry compote drizzle was probably the best I've ever had from anywhere - which is saying something. I didn't get the berries themselves as berries don't tend to hold up well during deliveries, but I got some of the blackberries I grow in my own garden and slapped them on there. GOODNESS gracious. 1000/10. Now for the highlight, in my opinion - the biscuits and gravy. I have long thought that one can tell the skill of a chef and the quality of a restaurant by its most "basic" items, and if you were judging solely by the biscuits and gravy, you'd be doing the same thing I am and telling EVERYONE about it. The biscuits were dense and flavorful, not in any way dried out, very filling, and the light toasting done to the inside of each half was such a quality touch. The gravy is TO DIE FOR. Just the right amount of kick, and a little went a long way. I had more than enough with my order to save some for another day! MAN it's gonna be difficult not to order from here every day... This type of restaurant is exactly the kind of thing Belleville needs to hold onto. It's high quality food, with a high quality staff and a commitment to community and sustainability our town desperately needs more of. Not only that, but it's reasonably priced; normally you'd see places like this charging 60% more minimum for the food and it's almost never as good as this. I am SO intensely impressed. Very, very well done, Clara B's crew!

I really enjoy the food at Clara B's! I found it first when I used Door Dash once and I loved the…read morebrisket breakfast burrito that I ordered. A mix of chunks of lean and marbled brisket. The order was packaged with care and I decided I'd have to eat in person if it was so good via delivery. Clara B's is housed inside of LongStory coffee just outside downtown Belleville. I've been there for coffee a few times and like the atmosphere there. I've now been to have breakfast a few times. If you go there on a weekend, there is a line to order food by 9am and the tables fill up but food comes out in a reasonable timeframe and people clear out as more come in. You pick up a menu and wait in line and order at the register. Not much wait time. Employees are nice. The smaller menu is full of hearty comforts. I love that their choices for breakfast proteins include a fried chicken breast and brisket. Their bacon is thick and delicious, the kind that melts in your mouth. The biscuits are the southern homemade style that are thick and crumbly, not sweet. I've saved one once to make a perfect strawberry shortcake for two. The duck fat gravy is good, a little watery, but it absorbs well into the biscuits. The breakfast potato fries look amazing and one day I'll try the pancakes. I'm low carbing it right now and I like that I can go in and order eggs and a protein and grab an iced coffee and read. I highly recommend for anyone to stop in for a lovely breakfast/brunch and support this local gem.

I lived here in the late 90s and remember when it was on the corner of Clay Street, and I was drugged in by a couple of friends from high school, saying that they had the best food, I'm such a picky eater, and I didn't think I would be able to find anything at a place called chuckwagon, that I'd be willing to eat... oh, but I was wrong! They have something for every pallet and the food is all amazing! When I move back 14 years ago and saw it was no longer on the corner of Clay Street in 159, I literally felt a pain in my heart and I lived here for over a year before I mentioned to someone else how I was upset that Bert's was no longer around and how I couldn't believe it shut down, just to find out it hadn't, they had just moved a main street!! I was there with him 48 hours and oh my goodness how I had missed the awesome that is the Chuckwagon! Whenever I am asked what we should do for dinner by people who are in town visiting and they can't make up their mind on what cuisine they want, I tell him we're going to Bert's Chuckwagon, watch them, wrinkled their nose, tell them too late. I've made up my mind and that's where we're taking them and I get them there and I watch their eyes widen, as they try the food! Bert's is the best open secret Collinsville has to offer and if ever you find yourself, not sure where you wanna eat or have guests in town who can't decide between Italian/Mexican/chinese or just a good old burger, make the executive decision and tell them you're taking them to Bert's. Make sure that you emphasize the chuckwagon, watch their faces as they come to terms with what you just said and try and talk you out of it, but stay firm, stay quiet about what they're getting ready to walk into, and take them to Bert's!

Horribly overcooked food, missing items, etc. Last night was the worst. We ordered through Grubhub to get delivery cause we were exhausted from the week and hangry. When our food came, it felt light. As usual, the sodas were missing. But when we opened the food, we found that one meal and another extra side were missing. Instead, we had a giant package of fried okra. I hate okra and it's no substitute for, you know, a meal. When I looked at the app, I realized they had just removed an entire meal! No call or text to see if something else might work, no subbing a different meal. Just ... nope, no dinner for you, have the world's most hated vegetable instead. I assume they were out of one of the items in my meal, but that's not the way to handle it. Spouse had a couple of bites of his food while I spent 40 minutes arguing with GrubHub to get a full refund (since more than half our order was missing and, dear god, okra). He said it was disgusting and super overcooked. He heroically tried the okra and it broke him. He never wastes food but this delivery went in the trash. I went to Captain D's (finally, after living nearby for 10 years!) and picked up a surprisingly decent meal, enjoyed good service, and even had a vegetable fit for human consumption. All's well that ends well I guess.
