Great beer selection, a fun atmosphere, and even live music made for an enjoyable experience. Jason, our bartender/server, was a hoot and added to the great energy of the place.

Select your own table. 4 of the 6 of us walk in together and we grab couple-three tables that will seat all of us. The host comes over and asks whether we are sure we need only that much space (standard seating for 6) because it is so much more difficult to be moving chairs around later on when they're busier. Beat. Yes, we are sure. Then the server comes around and greets us with something like, "So are we gonna have 20 different cards here? Or what?" Beat. Beat. People exchange glances. He says he's kidding, but of course he's only kidding about 20 cards as there are only 6 of us. I get it. You're busy. Restaurant work is fast-paced and stressful. I'll go somewhere where they aren't overwhelmed.

My husband and I each ordered a burger and fries. His burger was fully dressed with fresh tomato, lettuce, and the usual goodies. I had a single with cheese and onion straws. The onion straws are a bit more spiced than I like, but I like them to taste of crispy high quality onion and nothing else. All of the food was fresh. The fries were perfect. I ordered a side of cheese sauce and it was not bad. The Edwardsville location was clean, good parking, and relatively comfortable. There is interesting, brightly colored decor/murals. The service was good. The food takes a little while (20 minutes for us) and it is expensive- 2 burgers, 2fries, 2 sodas for $45. But, the quality is very good. The soda is Excel fountain soda, which is local and high quality, too.

In addition to the sweet treats, one of the highlights of stopping by and even driving by, is reading their marque. The messages are always, witty or supportive of another local business. I love it when local supports local. Recently, I had a Chocolate Covered Strawberry concrete and I liked it more than my typical favorite M&M concrete. The chocolate ice cream with flakes of solid chocolate and pieces of strawberry made my day. I've also enjoyed, chocolate and vanilla twist cones, but the orange sherbet and vanilla is still my favorite. I keep saying, I need to try their burgers, so I'll say it again. I gotta try their burgers. The restaurant has a nostalgic look and feel. The staff is young high school and college students and they're always friendly. They truly hustle and make things happen for their ice cream fans. Next time you're in Edwardsville, be sure to make a stop at Northside Dairy Haven.

I took the hostess' recommendation since I was torn between the adobo pork tacos and the 2 meat platter. She suggested sampling just 1 of the tacos and then also getting the 2 meat platter; allowing a good perusal of the offerings there. So delicious was the taco that I was genuinely sad I only had the one. The cilantro crema really highlighted the smoky pork perfectly. It was a short sadness though since I dove into the platter next. I got the pulled pork and shrimp platter with 5 cheese mac-n-cheese and coleslaw. The only better pulled pork I've had is made by my husband. Really impressed with the hostess, the food, and the quickness for takeout. The store is spacious and set up nicely without pretension. The only complaint I can come up with is the location/parking area isn't the best. It's tucked away behind a crappy roadway and parking can be a bit tight for bigger vehicles. Overall... a definite addition to our restaurant visit rotation.

I really wanted to like Five Guys, but after giving it several chances, I just don't get the hype…read more My biggest takeaway is that Five Guys seems to believe bigger automatically means better. The burgers are large, the fries come in huge portions, and you definitely won't leave hungry. That said, size isn't everything. For me, the weakest part of the burger is the bun. A great burger starts with a great bun, especially when it's lightly toasted, and Five Guys just misses the mark here. The beef is decent, but the flavor never really stands out or leaves me wanting another bite. Considering the price, I expect more. I would rank Five Guys behind In-N-Out, Shake Shack, and Whataburger without hesitation. I'd even put Steak 'n Shake and Red Robin ahead of it based on flavor alone. If you're looking for a massive serving of fries and a filling meal, Five Guys delivers. But if you're looking for the best-tasting burger, I think there are several better options for less money. For me, it's simply average, and not worth the premium price.

I heard the wings at Barrel & Bru Tap House were pretty good, so I went to check them out and…read moretotally agree. With a cold beer and a side of fries, I had an incredible lunch. They offer bone-in and boneless wings. I prefer, bone-in. To me, boneless wings is just another name for nuggets. You also get your choice of sauces, or doing a dry-rub for your wings. I'm a fan of the dry-rubs, so chose Buffalo-Lemon Pepper. It was a combination of my two favorite flavors, so it seemed like a logical choice. The blend of the buffalo with lemon pepper, gave the wings an extra tangy taste. I also like how extra crunchy the wings were. Crisp on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. When I eat wings out at a restaurant, I am a stickler for the number of drums and flats match. My order here at B&B was 3 & 3, so I was happy. In addition to my wings, I had a side of fries. Damn, they were good. They were crinkle, my favorite fry and they were good sized. The bartender offered a beer cheese sauce for dipping and I took advantage of his offer and tried it. The beer cheese was way better than using the typical ketchup. Being a Tap House, there were plenty of craft beers and commercial beers on draft. If you are torn on what to choose, they offer samplings. The bartender said, if I told him what I liked, he could make recommendations to match my taste. He guided me to, Floyd's Deluxe and it was a good match for my wings and fries. The ambiance is industrial minimalist, which is a relaxing sports bar vibe. I was pleased with my first visit, so I will be back and the next time I'll try a burger. Good food and excellent service, will always get me to return.

Forest impressions: We loved the non-descript feather sign, and the "no snitches" on the door was kinda funny. Though, that plus the neon "cocktails" sign on the window sends a bit of a mixed message for a place that's supposed to be a throwback to a secretive prohibition-era lounge. The 2 TVs inside detracted from it a little, too, and fast was more unfortunate. Still...My second impression: What a cute little place! The bar and the furniture are lovely and the cushions were so polish and soft. There were many great, comfortable places for groups of two to four to chat, and there's no loud music, meaning you can actually HEAR your friends when you chat with them. (At least, if the place isn't full; the floor was pretty crowded with tables, so I suspect it could still get loud. Third impressions were all about the drinks. My partner had a Spicy Cantaloupe Daiquiri. His opinion: The cantaloupe sugar rim was maybe the best part of the drink, though the tequila-based daiquiri was well-balanced, very tasty, and just the right amount of spicy. I had an Earl of Gray cocktail with a lavender sugar half-rim. It smelled SOOO good, and it tasted even better. To be honest, it may have been one of the best cocktails I've had ever. I actually can't wait to bring a couple of friends here!
