Dreamsicle Shake
Steven B.

Yippie! This location is as good as the original location on McCausland. For being fairly new, everything went fairly smooth for a busy lunch hour. I wanted just a light lunch, so my order was simple. I enjoyed a single smash burger with Pepper Jack Cheese. My garnishes were kept simple, too. I had them top my burger only with; onion, pickle, catsup and mustard. It was a tasty burger. My side, of course was a small order of fries. No burger is complete without its fries. The fries were a golden color and had a crispy outside. You gotta enjoy a fry that has some crunch to it. They were seasoned lightly and I dipped them in their house catsup that was available on all the tables. Since it was my birthday, I treated myself to a milk shake. I choose, Dreamsicle as my flavor. It was, thick and creamy rich. I personally would have liked a little more orange flavor, but it was still good and flavorful. The staff was friendly and hustling to make sure everyone was satisfying. The dining room was minimalistic, which is okay. You're not there for a fancy dining room, you're there for a fantastic burger and that is what they serve.

Stopped in here on a visit to Edwardsville to see my daughter. Food was awesome as I had the frisco melt , my daughter had a taco burger Service was awesome and the setting / ambiance was great also From Chicago to Edwardsville well worth the trip for this meal

Chopped Cheese sandwich
Stan D.

We came here mid-week, mid-afternoon to satisfy our burger craving. We missed the lunch crowd so the restaurant was almost empty (yay). The restaurant looked bright and inviting nonetheless. Wife ordered a single cheeseburger (4 oz) and I decided to try the chopped cheese. Similar to what some call a "loose meat" sandwich, the chopped cheese is 8 oz of coarsely chopped and seasoned ground beef topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mayo on a soft baguette. It was amazing and, as expected, quite filling so I skipped the fries. She loved her cheeseburger. The ground beef here is top notch, very flavorful. She said the fries were pretty good, fresh, hot and crispy. She's very picky about the seasoning so I suspect that is what put her off a bit. The only real downside was the tomatoes. Being out of season, they were firm and tasteless. The service was fast and very friendly. Staff even came by to take our trays, something we've typically had to do ourselves. The total with drinks was around $30, not bad for the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back and I'll probably try one of their other creations.

Arch deluxe burger

I swear I already wrote a review, but I guess not! This place is amazing! Absolutely delicious burgers and the fries seem to be seasoned with Lawry's, which is always a bonus. The servers are great, too. It's one of those spots where you order at the counter, but they bring your food out for you, so it's streamlined and quick. The overall vibe is very casual and hipster-y. And be sure to check out the daily special, as there's always something incredibly creative! Overall a fantastic burger spot, I'm so glad to have something like this so close to home.

Sweet potato tots

So happy they put a location in Edwardsville! We recently visited and enjoyed the giant mural while eating. It has an industrial-style interior with high ceilings and plenty of seating. They have dedicated bussers who clear the tables and runners bring your food out to you. We didn't wait long at all for our food and when we got it; it was piping hot, just how I like it. I got a cowboy burger, which is a mess of a burger, and I mean that in a good way. As I got a side of fries and a root beer float, I couldn't finish it. The root beer float is large and comes with a milkshake straw and the stirring spoon. I really liked the level of seasoning on the fries and appreciated they were so hot and fresh. My husband got the sweet potato tots as well as the Arch D-luxe and enjoyed them both. We will be back!

I went for dinner on a Wednesday night because it reminded of the Big Boy restaurants I grew up with as a kid. Super friendly staff, but the food was terrible and took a long time. It cost 26 for a single burger, fries and a milkshake. The specialty milkshake was good, but cost $3 more than a standard shake, which was not posted anywhere. The burger was over cooked and crunchy, the fries were soggy, and the fry sauce was average.

I'm updating my review and giving them five stars! I tried their fried chicken sandwich and it's delicious! It is right up there with the best I've had! I really enjoy eating here. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful.

I had a craving for fries and so we decided to try Hi-Pointe. It was about 4 pm on a week day. Place was empty. Cashier was pleasant. We got a cheese burger, fries, an oreo shake and an orange cream shake. The smash burger was good, buns were super fresh, fries were way too spicy (my lips were burning) and salty. The Oreo shake was interesting (had a big smear of the stuff that is in the middle of the Oreos down the outside of the glass with bits of cookie stuck to that. Wasn't super appetizing. The Oreo shake was tasty and helped relieve the burning from the fries. The Orange Cream shake was delicious. Both came in a shake glass with a large quantity of whip cream on the top and a Boba straw. Not good enough to win over other places that have the same type of menu. Thanks though.

Taco Burger and cheese fries
Jason V.

I was one of those locals that was excited when Edwardsville was finally getting a Hi Pointe Drive-In restaurant. Wasn't a fan of their McCausland location but I enjoyed their downtown one. The food was always great. And I can say the same about the Edwardsville location. You order, they give you a table number and just a few minutes later it's ready. I've been to the E'ville one twice and have had a great experience so far. Still serving those Excel sodies, including Ski. Gotta love that.

[As of 30 May 2021]…read more Another outing for a sweet treat. RESTAURANT: This creamery is easy to get to, right down the road from SIUE. Keep your eye out for Imo's pizzeria because it's connected to it. The shop is spacious enough for a good size crowd. There is also a very large patio for outdoor seating and mingling. I would have figured there would be speakers posted for some light music. Patrons can enjoy the music of nature. STAFF: As soon as we entered, we were casually greeted by two ice cream shop workers. The cashier was able to easily answer my questions about the uniquely named flavors i.e. Bride of Frankenstein and Superman. It took only a few minutes for our ice cream to be served. FOOD: The wife and I ordered two small cups. She did the lemon bite with waffle pieces and strawberries. A perfect combination. The strawberries aren't loose and chopped, but a jelly. That's a nice change of pace! I got the trusted strawberry with M&Ms. Next time I'll go without those and do more strawberries! Nonetheless, it still was good eating. Take a drive out to Edwardsville and sit under the sun with a cool delight. fin.

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.

Burger was excellent for the price. Ice cream was good soft serve. Service was kind and my food came out in about 10min. Kids were running around and family's were happily chowing down. It's a great old fashioned atmosphere. If you drive past this place, it's time to finally make the stop! Little hiccup: kids cone is 1.50 on the board but I was charged 2$. So check your receipt if you're pinching pennies.

Review Visit: June 1st, 2014…read more Annie's may or may not have any Frozen-branded custard on sale. While on one of our many trips to Edwardsville to hang out with our college friends, they casually recommended we try out Annie's for some sweets and delights. Next thing I knew, we were hopping in a car with our hangovers and hitting the road. Annie's, from what I remember, is like any other town's ice cream shack that is open year round. They offer your quick but yummy food options, such as: hot dogs, custard, sundaes, pie, and various other sweets. During our visit, we all snagged a few small things. Nursing some hangovers, we all gravitated towards the greasy offerings versus the cold stuff. Chili dogs were what we picked and snacked on, except for the one friend who was feeling 110%. She got some ice cream to go. The chili dog was decent but nothing to write home about. It definitely hit the spot. As for the interior, I don't remember much about it. The little that I do recall doesn't strike me as overly impressive but also not lacking. There were tables to sit at and ample room should it be busy during the summer hours. I wish I could have more to put in this blog post but since this was the only time we came here and it was after a fun night, this is all about it. Also, sadly, my friends have moved away from Edwardsville, but that doesn't mean I won't try to swing by it again on my way to St. Louis some day. If and when I do, I will try to update this post to reflect new photos and experiences.

Bobby's offers two different sizes of Banana Splits and I went with their small. OMG, it was huge. I couldn't eat all of my small, so I cannot imagine what I would have done with a large. Their split was a traditional split. It had three good sized scoops of their famous vanilla custard covered in, Hot Fudge, Pineapple and Strawberries. It was then topped with, whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed nuts and crowned with maraschino cherries. After enjoying my split, I had to go back up to the order window and get my first Caramel Apple of the season. If you haven't had one of their apples, you gotta try them. I always go with the Caramel Pecan. I may try the M&M one this season. If you cannot make it to Maryville, they sell Bobby's Apples at local Schnucks and Dierbergs. The apples usually are in the produce department. Staff is fantastic. They are super sweet and friendly.
