How did Stagger Inn fly under my radar for all these years and I do mean years. Stagger Inn opened…read morein 1974, the year I graduated from high school and I am now just discovering them. If it were not for the Illinois 66 Passport, I still may be oblivious. The Illinois Passport is promoting 66 businesses on the first 301 miles of the original historical Route 66. The businesses start in Chicago and come all the way down the state to Collinsville. After visiting the business, you get a stamp in your passport just like your travel passport. Stagger Inn is definitely a historical neighborhood dive bar. It's 52 years old and still going strong. It has an old wooden bar, two rooms for dining and drinking and you can see into the kitchen from a large window. The staff was friendly and provided great service. I sat at the bar and ended up chatting with all the servers as they picked up drinks for their tables. When reading the menu, I was impressed that they hand-cut their fries and hand batter the onion rings. I am definitely going back for the onion rings. This visit I did the fries as a side and they were crispy and still had the skins on the potatoes. When they placed my plate in front of me, they informed me they do not season the fries. The bartender recommended that I salt them while they were hot. Preferring pepper, I gave mine a shake of black pepper. I liked that they didn't salt the fries, since I'm trying to reduce my sodium intake. My Stagger Burger was incredibly delicious. I added, Pepper Jack Cheese and Jalapeños. They were generous with the jalapeños and left the seeds in, so the burger had a little burn to it. For me, this burger was top-notch. Stagger Inn, thanks for the stamp in my Route 66 Passport. I'll be back for Chicken Wings and Onion Rings. See you, soon.

What a fun place to meet up with friends! It's a typical bar in so many ways, and yet it has a full…read more(and somewhat fancy) menu. Getting there and parking: My family, including a pre-teen, met up at Stagger in to visit with a couple of our friends. Parking was a small challenge. There is a large public lot on the same block, but it was full when I got there around 6:20pm on a Wednesday. There is minimal street parking. Luckily, I found a spot after a couple of times around the block. Walking in, you can see right away that it really is a no-frills tavern. There's not even traditional table service, though it's not exactly counter service, either. You sit down, decide what you want from the menu, walk up to the kitchen counter to place your order, and give the ticket the kitchen gives you to your server. However, the menu was much nicer than what I expected, with very fair prices! Appetizers ranged in variety from French fries and wings to fried pickles and spinach artichoke toasted ravioli, with prices ranging from around $4 to $8. Entrees included a variety of sandwiches, salads, and burgers from $4 to $8.50 or so. They even had vegetarian and pescatarian options, including a blackened tuna sandwich and a black beans burger! All three of us, including a picky pescatarian adolescent, found food we enjoyed! Beyond the food, the service staff was friendly and the bar service was adequate. In all, it was a really great place e together up with friends AND bring a kid--at 6:30 on a weeknight, at least! I would very much recommend this place to a group looking for a casual environment with good food at good prices! Atmosphere: Food selection & taste: Service: Price: I'm not sure if would be fair to give 4 starts based on the above, though, because I wasn't to rate it for what it is, not for what something else is. Overall, I give it a 4.5! Vegetarian friendly: yes (lacto-ovo)

We heard Boogie's has good fish so we decided to give them a try on this Lenten Friday. It was a…read moregood call and we were not disappointed. I decided to try the walleye with a side of fries and chili. I thought the chili was mediocre but everyone has a different idea of what good chili is so I'll cut them some slack. The fries were also mediocre. They were lukewarm and had no crisp, obviously had been in the warming tray a bit too long. So why a 4 star rating? Three things: the wait staff was very good, friendly and attentive, the walleye was absolutely delicious, perfectly breaded and cooked, and the meal was very reasonably priced. I mentioned the issue with the fries to the waitress and she told me to be sure to let her know next time and she would be sure to get them fresh, and she really meant it. All in all, a very good experience and we'll certainly be returning.

We decided on wings and this place was the first to pop up. Their prices are definitely what grabbed us when it came down to the final decision. When I called the pickup order, the lady who answered the phone was very helpful and efficient. She also up sold me to another pound to try a flavor that wasn't on the menu. When I arrived to pick up the wings, the outside of the restaurant wasn't exactly picturesque. I had no trouble parking which was a plus. When I walked in, it was the typical scene of locals drinking and staring at the stranger who walked in. The server immediately knew I was there for the wings. She made small talk and said she hoped I enjoyed the wings and the new flavor. When unveiling the wings, I was mesmerized. We got the sweet chili, hot, Parmesan garlic, BBQ, and the secret sauce which was a mixture of the Parmesan garlic and hot. The wings were big and cooked to perfection. The flavors were just as awesome! My only gripe was that the blue cheese wasn't the best. All in all, I definitely recommend this place for their wings. Maybe next time I'll have some drinks and rub elbows with the locals.

Then ordered the wild mushroom with bacon flatbread pizza which was shockingly good . I wasn't sure how big the portabella mushrooms would be. ( not too big) which I like. Drinks, I stared off with their brown sugar shaken expresso. Idk why but I imagined it would be in a a martini styled glassware and not a glass. It was under cocktail and not a martini. Still good. Then to end the night I had their blackberry mule. Nice and refreshing. Sadly , mainly my fault I walked away from our table as we left. Didn't get a min away to realize I forgot my left over box. It had a few slices of pizza and appetizer I wanted for the next day. ( it was already tossed ) but dang that was fast how it happened. Overall service was good as always. Wasn't overall crowded. Had just the right amount of people flow. To end our dinner we did try a red velvet cake together. Wasn't too shabby. They have other dessert options like salted caramel cheese cake and a chocolate mousse one to be exact.
