For a little tiny restaurant, the place was packed with people and people were waiting to be seated. We sat on chairs, which was wonderful for me. I had two medium eggs, four sausages, and two pancakes with real squeezed orange juice, which was delicious. I enjoy their food very much. My husband had two eggs over, medium with corned beef, hash, and biscuits and gravy, and decaf coffee which was quite good, and they gave you plenty amounts of everything. Food was really delicious. I look forward to coming back to this restaurant again. Next time I'd like to try their lunch entrées.

We don't live but 30 mins away, but didn't know about this place until we saw it in the Route 66 IL…read morepassports! We stopped in for carry out - ordered a breakfast wrap & 2 burgers (1 bbq and 1 Rt 66). It's fun inside, cute signs. Wait wasn't long at all! They had a sign in book & ofc the Route 66 stamp. What could improve / could have been better: Order accuracy: I received a breakfast bowl instead of wrap.One of the burgers was a bacon burger & neither matched what we ordered but they were decent burgers! Food preparation: The hash-browns were cooked on too high of heat, so not fully done but burning in places. 3/10 at best. Carry out specifics: no napkins, no flatware. They accept card, but tips are only cash. I don't love that & would prefer somewhere be fully cash only or accept cards & allow tipping. I had called to asked prior to arrival when placing my order to inquire about cash or card & they noted card was fine, so I didn't have cash available to tip unfortunately!

If it were not for the, Illinois 66 Passport, I would have never discovered this tiny little diner…read more Teri's was not part of the original Mother Road, but her decor and themed diner pays tribute to that historical highway. Being retired, I am on a mission to experience all 66 businesses listed inside the Illinois 66 Passport. I'm experiencing the ones close to home first and then I'll work my way up to Chicago. Teri's use to be in the Route 66 Antique Mall, but now it's in downtown G City. The new location is spacious and has a minimalistic decor. There's plenty of vinyl records and Route 66 signs covering the walls. After looking the menu over, I opted for an early lunch over a late breakfast. Seeing a Jalapeño Burger on the menu, is what pushed me towards lunch. The burger came with a side of crinkle fries. The fries were extra crispy with a hot soft insides. The burger was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a smash or a thin prepackaged burger. When my burger was served, it was a thick hand pressed burger. It covered the entire bun and the Pepper Jack Cheese draped over the edges. The jalapeños were plentiful and paired well with the onions, too. I give the burger a solid A for presentation and flavor. Teri's and Granite City is not a short drive for me, but it was and is worth the drive. If you're in G. City and getting hangry, give Teri's a try.

Our server Hailey was very bubbly and welcoming from the start. She made sure we took our time to figure out what we all wanted. Took my dad out for early father's day lunch. We all got sweet tea. Husband went with the all you can eat chicken option. Which they do that on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can mix/match dark or white meat. You get all the sides. Dumplings, mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn, coleslaw, and apple sauce. He was full and definitely enjoyed the chicken. My dad did the chicken meal 2 dinner with 2 sides. I have food left over for later. I was so full. Food came out in timely manner. And for what we paid in total with 3 people wasnt too shabby. Theor parking lot is off to the side and wraps around l. They do have aome street side parking. Or some park across the way in a lot. Good ol days Is a staple in new baden. When you're burnt out on going to chains like cracker barrel.

So, when the place my wife wanted to take me to dinner for my birthday was closed on Tuesday, she though she'd take me to a place I had never been. She's so funny. She said, "It's not Ruth's Chris, but you will love it". She was right! I ordered the 4 piece of fried chicken, beets, baked potato and it came with coleslaw too. It does take about 20 minutes as the chicken is made to order, but well worth it. Skin was delish and the meat was tender too. My wife got a smoked pork with bbq sauce and it was great too. Took about 1/2 of our food home as we shared a homemade pecan pie slice which was soooooo good with ice cream. I can't wait to go back! I love their slogan too "Food so good, you'd swear we stold your grandma!" Don't miss this place!!!! They also have ALL YOU CAN EAT fried whitefish on Tuesday and ALL YOU CAN EAT fried chicken on Sunday and I think Saturday. Not 100% sure. Go and you will thank me!

5 min from the interstate and worth it!…read more We stopped while traveling on 64 and had a late breakfast. What a great choice! Menu is extensive and had lots of breakfast/lunch/dinner options. Hubs had 2 scrambled eggs, 2 strips of bacon. 2 sausage links and 2 pancakes. The pancakes we so fluffy and yummy. Eggs were perfect and bacon was crispy. Sausage links were good too. He also got biscuits and gravy and that was pretty good but could have used more pepper maybe. I had the meat lovers skillet on the recommendation of our waitress and she was on point! Delish! Coffee was smooth and ever flowing. Great spot to check out.
