A large group gathered here following a funeral & memorial service next door, so naturally, the mood was not all that festive.However, they had prepared for us, a self-serve buffet with a good tossed salad, delicious fried chicken, and well-seasoned mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was hot and the service was very good.The bar service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable.There were several pool tables with patrons playing adjacent to the dining area but nobody was rowdy and we had no problem with excess noise or interference with our large group as we celebrated the life of our friend and consoled each other on his loss.Obviously a local hang out and a place I'd visit again if in the area.

We have been here sever times. Couple times for lunch as well as dinner. This was our second attempt at Sunday brunch.The decor is upgraded bar with a separate bar-hi top tables in front and standard sitting in rear.We have found the service seriously lacking and slow. The servers tend to stand at the end of the bar and talk, laugh and carry on even when you have your bill and credit card in the air hoping someone will pick it up.This last visit my wife had the breakfast sandwich and thought it was very good. She had the Brussel sprouts as a side and thought they were good also.I had the eggs Benedict and they were not good. First they were cold, second the yolks were hard. I sent them back and when the replacement arrived it was not much better. We almost got up and left after 40 minutes when our food had not arrived. The place was less than half full at 10:15 am so donât understand the slowness. Edwardsville has lots of choices for meals. Not sure we will try again. My rating if by myself would be 1 Star. So this is tempered by what my wife had.

We had a party of three, it was very busy. Waitress' first day and was overwhelmed. Manager refilled our drinks, answered our questions and brought the food. Wings were okay, overpriced though. There are other places that sell wings that I would rather go to. Overall not disappointed with visit but wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

6. Bigelo's Bistro

Bigelo's has a narrow storefront on the east side of North Main in Edwardsville, so it could be easy to miss as you were driving by. But once inside, you'll be treated to brightly colored walls decorated with lots of colorful modern art paintings and a mix of plain & painted 2 & 4-top tables with chairs (with high chairs avaiable for youngsters). Its layout & features are more bar & grill than bistro, with a small bar & seating area near the kitchen divided off by a half-wall from a main front dining area. They also have a very small patio out back with 4 or 5 tables, a couple with umbrellas. There's plenty of free public parking behind the business row containing the restaurant, so don't be tempted to park in the reserved spaces along the south side of the building.I made this first visit to Bigelo's on a Saturday in late spring around noontime, just as the nearby weekly community market event was wrapping up. The restaurant had just one other customer when I walked in, but it started to fill quickly as I was served & enjoyed my lunch. All of the young ladies on the staff were very friendly & attentive (especially my server, Jori), and my wait time for food was reasonable for items freshly prepared. Based on previous TA reviewers' recommendations (thank you), I upcharged to a small spinach salad as my side item & it was one of the best tasting salads of its kind that I've had (with enough "small" to bring leftovers home for supper). My Chicken Guy chicken breast sandwich was simply prepared & dressed, well cooked but still moist with light seasoning & fresh garden toppings. I had just enough room left to try a small scoop of their housemade ice cream (butterscotch pecan that day), which wasn't particularly creamy but had good flavor & was worth the $1.75 charge. My total bill with soft drink (free refills) and tip was $22, which I felt was a very reasonable price for a flavorful & filling lunch in a very enjoyable atmosphere.I would recommend Bigelo's Bistro as a lunch or dinner stop for singles, couples or families of all ages. The menu has variety, the food prep & quality are very good, and the staff will make you feel welcome from beginning to end. And be sure to enjoy the artwork while you're there - it serves as an appetizer for the eyes.

I called ahead to place an order for takeout. Valerie took my order and repeated it back to me. When satisfied she said stop by in 30 minutes. Stopped in at required time and only had to wait couple extra minutes. Everything I had ordered was there. We had gone to this Hotshots when first opened and was disappointed. Has not improved very much. For appetizers had Wings and pretzel sticks. Wings ranked as some of the worst ever. Didnât look good and didnât taste good. Pretzels were ok. There were two Cobb Salads and these were ok. One Philly sandwich which was devoured so must have been good. Last order was Italian beef. Terrible, dry, tasteless. Even the en jus couldnât help. Will not be back for awhile.Thanks for coming to visit us and taking time to leave a review. We appreciate and value your feedback very much.

We went to Applebees with 5 family members. Kiersten was our server and did a great job waiting on our table, recommending food and refilling drinks. We had a variety of food in fried mozarella sticks to start, dinner salad, 3 cheese chicken cavatapi, chicken strips with fries and the Butcher's meat and potatoes. All was good enough and priced inexpensively. The pasta dish had plenty left for a take home container. The men who ordered meat and potatoes at the whole thing and enjoyed it. The food is decent, but nothing stood out exactly.

Reviewed By No P
We've eaten here four times for various events over the past two years and each time the food incredibly bland. It is cooked well and looks amazing, but there is simply no flavor to any of it, including their chili (which looks mouth-watering good). No salt, no garlic, no pepper - if it was also boiled you'd swear you were in England! It is a very casual environment with non-existent service. It is sad, because it is a great place otherwise and the prices are towards the lower end of the spectrum, but I want flavor!

Rustic tavern, craft beers, craft cocktails, simple food..
Reviewed By Freedom810203
We ate at The Cabin after going on the Mastermind Vodka tour because you get a free mastermind cocktail with the purchase of food. The menu was interesting, including a signature fried bologna sandwich. Historically, it's the first carriage stop from St Louis, which is pretty interesting. We also enjoyed the nostalgic glasses our waters were served in. Fun place if you're in the area!

After several different friends recommending the Wooden Nickle, finally stopped in and tried it. The staff, the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food were all top notch. Could not have asked for anything to be any better than it was. I greatly look forward to going back and trying more of their menu.
