Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill

At Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill, you're closer to N'awlins than you think! Our seafood is always fresh and never frozen. We cook your fish just the way you want it at no extra cost!

While visiting historic Cahokia Mounds and the Lewis & Clark State Historic Site and reliving old memories when I lived in Collinsville, Illinois, in 1966-1968, my wife and I decided to have dinner at the 1818 Chophouse in Edwardsville. From my research, it is rated as the No. 1 restaurant on Illinois side of the Mississippi River, opposite St. Louis. But there wasn't anything like it at the East Side in the 1960s. Located at 210 South Buchanan Street, east of Main and Vandalia, 1818 Chophouse opened in 2012, offering steaks and seafood and Sunday brunch in a stone and wood accented space with an outdoor patio. We started with bruschetta, deviled eggs, brandied shrimp bisque and Caesar salad. And, looking at a nearby table, I was tempted to order Buffalo prawns with bacon and creamy blue cheese mascarpone. But I didn't want to spoil my appetite for my entree, rainbow trout meuniere with garlic whipped potatoes and sauteed baby spinach. My wife chose flame grilled salmon with creamy lobster, charred broccoli and red pepper risotto. They suited our more fish/less meat diet to a tee. For dessert, we shared portions of key lime pie and creme brulee. At a restaurant like 1818 Chophouse, we always try to sample as many dishes as we can. It's easy to see why it is a popular destination for folks in this area.

The Cabin at Judy Creek

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!

Texas Roadhouse

Reviewed By NathanW99Subie

My wife and I usually go here on Wednesday nights. They have a steak special called Wild West Wednesday for $10! It is amazing. You get an 8oz sirloin with two sides. I suggest getting your steak medium and topped with mushrooms and onions. You can get an 11oz sirloin for $11, if you want to upgrade the size. You cannot go wrong with this deal. We leave here sooo full. We also use the call ahead seating because there is usually a long wait, but using that option, the longest we've had to wait is 8 minutes! I challenge you to try and find a better tasting steak dinner at a basement bargain price like this ANYWHERE!

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.

Four of us had a late lunch/early supper here. It was nice to be able to sit outside on a nice day. We all enjoyed our food & the salad (don't remember which but it had bacon, chicken & bleu cheese) was huge and excellent. Couldn't eat it all, even with my spouse's help.Hola, I am thrilled that you had a good visit and loved the Chop Chop Salad. Thanks for leaving a review, we appreciate it! Was there anything in particular that prevented this from being a "5 Star Visit", as that is our goal with every guest that visits. We hope to see you back soon!!!Thanks,Keith

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. I'm really sorry to hear that we fell short and that your service was less than ideal. We've noted everything you wrote and are going to work hard to avoid this in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The sprits distilled onsite are used in the creative cocktails and microbrews served at Old Herald. Beverages accompany delicious meals. Menu and decor are themed around the historic newspaper publishing business once housed in the building. Great location for craft brewery and distillery.
