Located in a small town, features really good food and the owner and staff are very welcoming and inviting atmosphere relaxed down home atmosphere. They feature high quality hamburgers, excellent homemade fires and an outside eating areas with a gas fire pit. I had the Philly cheese steak, with a great seasoned steak covered in caramelized onions and a yellow cheese sausage. It is also available made with chicken ins tread of steak but I am a traditionalist and my wife had the hot honey grilled chicken sandwich which has a unique sriracha sauces honey sauce that is unbelievable. A great little place in small town America that is truly worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

Chicken- obviously fried fresh, and fried just to done, so it is tender and succulent. The Rooster Shoe is what every french fry, chicken and cheese sauce lover is looking to eat... fantastic! Service is pleasant- a hometown feel, and this comfortable little diner in southern Illinois is worth the drive from St. Louis. read more

Place is small. We came at dinner time on Friday and had to wait a little bit. Was not a problem and was to be expected at that time. Food and prices were great. Only complaint was they ran out of baked potatoes and the soup was delivered late. read more

This place has great reviews and is close by so we decided to give it a try, and we're glad we did!! It's not a big space, so it was crowded on a Friday night. The staff were working hard and even though they were busy, they were polite and helpful. Our appetizer and dinner came out of the kitchen piping hot - no sitting under heat lamps at this place!! We enjoyed everything we ordered! Definitely going back - it's an extensive menu, so lots of things to try!' read more

Always appreciate our hometown food spot. The food is good and reasonably priced. The owners are usually on site and making sure things are taken care of for their customers. If you're lucky enough to be present for Michelle's mom's desserts - take advantage. Our favorite is the pecan crust cheesecake or the hummingbird cake - but all are delicious! read more

My wife and I ate at the lucky rooster and we both had the fried chicken with a salad and we were very satisfied with the quality of food that we received. I also had a cup of chili and it was excellent. Our servers name was Kelly and she provided great recommendations on what to select from the menu. Also the inside of the restaurant was decorated very well. If you're in the area, I recommend visiting this restaurant. read more

Great little family restaurant in St Jacob! Always friendly, great food and still an affordable family meal. The only drawback is the small restaurant can be very loud inside when it's full of families. read more

This is a pretty nice restaurant for such a little town! I stopped in here 'cause my hunger wasn't gonna let me get all the way home and had a turkey panini. It was really good with a good amount of turkey on it. I had a bowl of soup for my side and it was pretty tasty too. And they serve CIDER! Yay that!!! MUST get back here and try the Portuguese Pizza! Good service and reasonable prices. Love that it's not all the same-o, same-o stuff on the menu. read more

Everything has been delicious. My daughter loves the vegetarian options. Service is excellent. Cute setting. read more

We don't get out very often because we have kids. But one night, we decided to head over to the lucky rooster for a late evening drink and appetizer with our friends. The server was so friendly and the owner came to greet us. It's a cute environment with a real home town feel. It's definitely worth a visit! read more

The food is always great and everyone is pleasant which is a plus these days!! Rarely any wait time usually get seated right away!!

Great menu options. We love the apps, the burgers, pizza and ribeye! Staff could be more knowledgeable on drink options. Liquor etc. what's currently in stock but they are always nice and give good service. Covid hours aren't the best still. They close at 8pm. Love coming here after work for dinner and drinks. read more

Cute place! Great and unique menu. They've got something for everyone's taste. Quick service. packed on the weekends

We were traveling through and stopped for lunch based on consistently high reviews. We were not disappointed. Food and service were high quality. The cod fish sandwich on a pretzel bun, which was tasty with a good sized piece of cod, and reasonably priced. The staff was courteous and friendly. The owner stopped by to connect and ensure all was up to expectations. That's always a good sign. Would highly recommend and return when in town. read more

This place is amazing! We were driving through Illinois, Jersey bound and decided to stop for some dinner. After a quick Yelp review we saw that this place was well rated and decided to stop in and check it out. I am so glad we did! We got to meet one of the owners, Raymond and he was so hospitable. The bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers are to die for and the burgers are a great size and flavor. I enjoyed the fries as well. Also got to try the beers on draft and they have a great selection. We ultimately ended up choosing the 4204 The Leftovers. After dinner, we walked across the street to have some soft serve ice cream for dessert. This place is definitely a must try in my book and such a friendly place. I have officially bookmarked it so that I can be sure to stop by for another tasty meal on my next road trip. read more

This place pretty much defines (everything good about) small-town hole-in-the-wall dining. The only drawback was that there seemed to be a lot of "regulars" in the place, so of course they got a little more attention than our table (don't get me wrong, our waitress was great both times we went there!) So far, I've only tried the chicken and fish, both of which were excellent. They have a lot of local beer selections, and the "on tap" selections are nice and cold. The pie was decent, but not oh-my-god I'm coming back just for the pie good. Also, they seem to have a perpetual groupon available so you can save a few bucks. You have to buy two groupons with the deal, so you have to go twice to use them, but it's worth the trip! read more

It's easy to see why this place has consistently high reviews. We didn't leave a crumb on our plates when we left. So tasty, and they have *great* vegetarian options! We ordered the veggie burger and fries for the kiddo and a garlic bread appetizer (little guy loved dipping the bread in the marinara!). I ordered the kale potato soup, delicious!!! They are wonderful with kids and have an extensive kids menu, something for every taste. Plus, we got a military discount. What's not to love about this place?! Hubby and I will be back for date night to try the appetizers, sandwiches and pizzas! They have heart healthy choices as well as more hedonistic fare read more

Ive not been in a while since the last time was just so-so, but I bought a Groupon and WOW I'm so glad I tried this place again. We arrived on bingo night and got the last seat in the house. Our food was served very fresh quickly and we had great service from both the staff and the owner who is constantly running around helping his servers. He even takes time to talk to his customers making sure everything is OK. Very impressed. The Portuguese pizza is amazing and the chicken fingers sound normal but WOW they are fresh hand dipped and huge so tender! Just go. read more

Vinny was such a great cook, and joe is the best bar tender! Burger was cooked perfectly, and the corn bites were sooo good.

Brand new!! Homemade from scratch soups and salads with very reasonable prices and a cheerful diner vibe. The family-run operation has grandma and grandpa in the kitchen and mom and pop in the front of the house. A full bar with unique local craft beers on tap and fast friendly service. Excellent freshly brewed iced tea in nice NEW glasses was a great start. My chopped salad was fresh cold and crisp exactly the way I like it, and my husbands burger was absolutely OUTSTANDING. It's a loud place but it's sparking clean and filled with happy people and friendly service and is definitely a good place to drop in and have a great burger and a beer or a full meal after 4 PM. read more

Nice friendly place with freshly made food! This is a neat little family owned restaurant. We went there to try out the fried chicken everyone on here was raving about but unfortunately they serve it only on Wednesday and Saturday. So that being said we had a nice dinner. We tried the beer battered shrimp and steak and cheese. Both were good, served fresh and hot. They do have nightly specials but we didn't see the table sign until after we ate. Tonight was meatloaf and sounded great. Service was great! The owner stopped by our table to check on us and offered fresh made desserts from the case. They looked delicious! Overall we were very happy we made a trip to St Jacob to try something new. We will definitely be back!(probably on a Wednesday or Saturday ) Came back on a Wednesday and the fried chicken was as wonderful as it was reputed to be! read more

The Lucky Rooster Pub & Eatery - Fried chicken and mashed potatoes! Delicious! - American Near Me - St. Jacob, Illinois

Ordered a BLT to go. I opened it when I got home and immediately started laughing with disappointment. Probably one slice of bacon. One lettuce leaf. One cut of tomato. Thin white bread. It was the saddest sandwich ever. read more

We ventured off the interstate and found this gem. It happened to be Bar Bingo night so it took a little longer to get our food due to the volume of people but it was WORTH IT! The staff were super friendly and gracious. The food was AMAZING!! We had cheese pizza for the kids, fresh hand breaded chicken strips, their special of the night which was a chicken dish and a pony burger. I'd be willing to drive the 100 miles from home just to eat here again. read more

This is, by far, the best pizza I have ever had. The dough is homemade and the toppings are fresh and different. The Portuguese and goat cheese is my favorite. The kale soup is a must try too! The owners are absolutely wonderful, always stopping by the table to see how things are going. It's a grandma and grandpa cooking and mom and pop in front. You can't beat the service or atmosphere. I is quickly becoming one of my favorites! read more

Stopped here for lunch and it has just opened under new ownership. The place was very clean and seemed more like a place to eat rather than drink which we were okay with. We ended up having the lunch special which was a bowl of chili and a roasted turkey with Swiss on toasted rye bread. First off the chili was really good like your grandma would make and the sandwich was really good as well. Everything seemed fresh and cooked to order and it was really priced right at $6.99. This was the first time we stopped by and we will for sure be back read more

Stopped here with my high school daughter on our way to St. Louis for a college visit. It was so good, I'll be planning repeat visits to The Lucky Rooster if she attends that college. A truly great family restaurant. Some of the best wings and lasagna I've ever had! read more

Great service, great drinks, food was amazing and the service was top of the line. I will definitely be coming back to Lucky Rooster again and again. read more

Nice place, food and service were ok. We had our expectations hyped up based on the other reviews. We certainly did not experience warm and fuzzy at all. read more

Just moved into town and have been here twice now. Both times were great service and great food plus a surprisingly good draft beer selection. The chicken philly was awesome, as was the salmon patty sandwich. If you like something spicy try the bacon wrapped jalapeños. It'll test your tastebuds but worth it if you can handle the heat. Fries are phenomenal and the burgers were cooked perfectly. Glad I only live 1 mile away. read more
