10. Boogie's Restaurant and Bar

Reviewed By jyates34
Three of us stopped here because it was close to our hotel and they had good reviews on Trip Advisor.When we arrived the main area was filled with folks engrossed in the SuperBowl game and we asked if we could be seated in the adjoining room so we could carry on a conversation without all the noise and excitement.The menu offered an eclectic selection of interesting items, some of which not normally found at a local type watering hole and eatery.Each of us ordered something completely different and we each were very happy with our selections when brought to our table.I was quite impressed with the Que Sera Syrah salad which contained 1/4 lb. of Angus beef flat iron steak, grilled asparagus, baby greens tossed with a vinaigrette dressing, topped with fresh, grated blue cheese crumbs and toasted red peppers.Will definitely return to Boogie's if in the area again.
9. 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.

After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor I was not sure what to expect. The restaurant is located in a area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is in a semi secluded area filled with trees making it a peaceful setting especially if on the large patio.The food was excellent and not pricey at all. There were four of us and we ordered two orders of the Salmon, chicken tacos, and the meatloaf. The portions are large and the food was very good. I ordered the meatloaf and it was moist, the bacon was not over cooked, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the green beans were cooked just right. The only issue we had was one of the Salmon orders had a section that was under cooked. That kept this from being a Five Star reveiw.The bar drinks were a good size, and surprised us by not being expensive as other reviews mentioned. I paid 7.50 for a large Tanguiray martini which is less than most other places.The waitress was attentive and gave us some good advice about the menu. She split a salad for my wife and I which was very nice.We were there in the evening and there was plenty of parking. We came from South St Louis and it was a easy 45 min drive.Thank you so much for dining with us! We are glad so much of your experience was positive and will work with our line cooks on preparing the salmon. We do cook the salmon to medium so if it was not that way, I apologize. If you do prefer it cooked more than medium just let us know and we will make it happen. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

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.

6. Applebee's

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.
5. Edison's entertainment complex

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!

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.

Such a shame! The owner needs to get back involved instead of opening other places. Today was the second time in a row that we had poor service and cold food. Had to ask for straws, which is not a problem, however she forgot to bring them. Asked for an appetizer of garlic bread to be served first. After reminding 2 different servers that we didn't receive it, it finally arrived after we had eaten most of our main course. No apology was given. My first post raved about it. Now-not so much.falcon5683,We assure you that the owners are still very involved in the businesses. Reading feedback like this is never easy, but we really appreciate you taking the time to give an honest review of your experience.
