It's also fairly cheap for the portions and most people will even have some leftovers. The only thing I wish this fish stand had was some local fish like Bass or Crappie even just as a special every once in awhile, it would take it from four stars to five. But if your looking for a good meal for a reasonable price and like fried fish check it out.

So this is where Halloween 2010 gets kicked off. On my way home from practice in Edwardsville I…read moretook a detour to stop by Kohls and Alton Square to seach for some costume essentials. I really wanted to not eat anything and run when I got home, as the nice days this fall are going to be over before you know it. But then I thought about gorging myself at Chinese Buffet. Sitting all by myself, stuffing myself. Jacki said it made her sad to think about me eating by myself and I would be a little embarassed to be seen eating by myself in Alton... So I drove a little farther and made a quick two lane change and pulled up to this little fish shack. I have been wanting to try here forever (since my love for fried fish began). I'm glad I finally made it by. The lady manning the window wasn't the friendliest, but I'm probably not the clientele she is most used to dealing with. I am not well versed in fish and asked her what she thought of a couple of them before just deciding myself to go with a Jack sandwich. I didn't know there was a fish named Jack, but he was rather tasty. She did inform me a couple of the sandwich varieties have bones in them, so I am happy of that. I also went with a side of potato salad which I was originally disappointed in the size, but the flavor ended up making up for that times 100! It was mustardy and sweet, kind of pickley. It didn't take long for them to fry up the fish and in no time I was sitting in Kohl's parking lot enjoying my bounty. The sandwich came with two filets, two pieces of bread of your coice (wheat), bread and butter pickles, and onions. It was awesome! So flaky and delicious. At first I was a little nervous this Jack was going to be too fishy, but that was not that case at all. I will definitely be making trips back by here.

I have visited Tacos 4 Life a few times since they have opened and while my first visit was a bit…read moreof a miss, the other visits have been way better in terms of customer service and food. I like that this is a mother fast casual option so you can order at the counter and then they will bring the food to you when it's ready. They have a self service station for drinks (no alcohol). I wish I would have taken a picture of the tacos I ordered during my first visit, but I definitely forgot. I ordered a shrimp taco and while I was nervous that it would be small, it as actually a nice size and very filling. Was it a bit spicy? Yes. But I powered through because the flavors were good. The cilantro rice was also so good as a side and I loved the street corn, it was so creamy and delicious. My main pick when I visit now is the half southwest rice bowl with grilled chicken. It is the right portion size and has all the things I love in the rice bowl. I forgot to add avocado/guac on this last visit, but that's usually a good thing to add on top or to the side.

Close to Fresh Thyme and SLU…read more Walked here before a presentation with my co worker. The space is bright and open, they also operate a carry out window from the side. The menu is large with lots of selections. We got the dip trio with guacamole, salsa and queso. All decent! Could use some seasoning, salt pepper lime, but all edible and chips were good also. The staff was helpful, We both ordered two tacos and they came out fairly quickly I had chicken fajita and mahi-mahi. Both had a good sauce and seasoning. A little too much avocado on one, we love multi texture so the cabbage was better, but overall decent! I'm more of a street taco regular but these were filling and the tortillas were soft . Overall not bad and could see myself back for lunch. Close to Fresh Thyme and SLU Walked here before a presentation with my co worker.

What to say about a place that does some of the BEST fried chicken and fish we have eaten in years…read more It is a cosy, small and friendly place to eat. The service is good and the prices are very reasonable. We have had the fried chicken and fried catfish but our favorite is the chicken. The onion rings are great and so are the collard greens. Their crispy french fries are memorable also. The ambiance is comfy and simple, they have other offerings we just like the fried chicken so much that we always have that.Why mess with sucess?

You can put MJs on the top 5 list of things to experience in Springfield, Illinois. I suggest you…read moredrive really fast by the State Capitol, take 10 minutes to see the MLK piece, then go straight to MJs. The service was hometown perfect, no rush, friendly vibes and the food let's just say I'm back home once a week from Peoria and so yeah I'm about to be a regular. The only chicken in 20 years that I enjoyed every single crumb of that well battered bird, the greens and Mac and cheese was on point. PS, you cant leave without the catfish and red beans and rice. So grab a few more dollars and get a second dinner to go. They cooked that food with love. Thank you to the Taylor family for showing love to the community that shaped us all. We will continue to support your efforts.

Just because it wasn't what I was looking for, I can't punish the store, and I think I'm not…read more.. But I'm going to admit with "Fox and Hounds", the problem was my expectations. British Bar INSIDE a "British designed hotel", so I had my hopes probably heightened more that it should have with my previous British bar results. I went in thinking British craziness and got a "Edgar Allen Poe" feel... But I'm going to say this was NOT what I was expecting. First and foremost, your eyes are going to need adjusting. Plain and simple, it felt more like a dark ... room? (Part of the problem I think is that as it was already June, you can forget using the fireplace to lighten the room up) so it felt.. "Small", and I"m going to feel weird saying this... "Romantic Horrorfest". Wait, before you go "wha??", this isnt' necessarily a bad thing. The Taxidermy , the photos on the wall. the fireplace. the VERY (and I mean VERY) dim lighting... The limited seating on the main floor, the one door in and out it had a "wooden cabin feel".. Yes, if you had a wonderful romantic film and it was suddenly invaded by some monster villain... This where it would take place and it would be perfect. (See I can find positive things to say about things i wasn't looking for) As for the service, apparently (going back to the Romantic filmfest), I was struggling to get any attention for the bartendress, cause I guess I was solo'ing by myself, and because of how I wasn't able to get the bartendress attention... I kinda felt like an unwanted customer in a place more for couples or friends getting together which had me leaving shortly thereafter, so no real food score (although I will say, much like Oh London ,the menu wasn't really much to work through...), Anyway, no TV's, no world cup game on the air.. just like I said a vibe of a cabin in a "romantic movie, where the monsters lurk". And Apologies for some of the iffy pictures, it just didn't feel right using a flash on the camera in such a secluded locale) and like I said, it wasnt' what I was expecting (rowdy British fans watching the local club or something), but there's something about it that even i have to admit, would make this location a nice "date night" or "out with friends' location, more so than just a single person looking for a nightcap. (And Maybe there really is a monster hiding in the fireplace, to keep the "Horror" feel going?? :)
