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.

This trip I got their shrimp nachos which were loaded and delicious! My husband got a shrimp burrito, which he also enjoyed. We also ordered their boardwalk cookies (which are deep-fried Oreos with a caramel sauce and powdered sugar on top) so yummy! The good thing is since you can create your own creation, you can also customize your food to be vegan or dairy-free etc. Service was quick. There are a couple of tvs usually showing people performing extreme sports. There are a few booths and a few small tables inside.

If you are already a poke fan, DEFINITELY check them out. If you are a newbie or poke-curious, Poke Munch makes it VERY easy on beginners - and the staff is the "sauce on the bowl" if you will. It has been the same, clearly-invested, friendly and engaging staff on each visit (Ie....no rotating high schoolers checking IG on their phone while you figure ish out). Poke Munch is a Hawaiian take on the poke bowl. It is in a small shopping area with plenty of parking. You enter the shared dining area mentioned above and head right to order at the counter before moving on to your seat. The dining area and restrooms were very clean each time I visited. There is a ginormous, easy to read (and understand) list of recommended bowls. Keep in mind you can customize whatever you like! Or ask the staff to make you their favorite bowl.....put their favorite combo of sauces on your custom bowl....etc. etc. I DESPISE ginger, and as I get older, the number of carbohydrates consumed and the size of my pants seem to correlate, so I always hold the ginger & grains and get all mixed greens as the base of my bowl. Their raw, cubed fish has always been exceptionally fresh. There are a ton of vegan options and if you don't care for raw or surf, there is an excellent Crispy Hei Hei bowl with sesame chicken tempura, white cabbage, cucumber, sweet onion, carrot, shiitake mushroom, crispy garlic, unagi sauce, and PM sauce - but again, construct and customize any way you want. Do not sleep on the *Shiitake Mushroom Pot Stickers*. LOVE! Chopsticks, cutlery, and soy sauce are available. Grab a lid for your bowl if you don't finish. The food is so fresh that it has been just as good during round 2.

Sorry Doc Friday night was a big let down…read more Showed up at 6pm on a Friday night. Most of the inside tables were full. Waited 30 minutes when I noticed only two tables had food delivered since we sat down. I looked around and counted 18 tables that were sat before us patiently waiting for food. I then saw Doc walk out the door carrying a paper bag that appeared to contain food. Two possible managers going table to table blaming a new line cook for the delay. Here's the issue. Docs items are not cooked to order. Owners don't walk out when 80% of their patrons are experiencing extended waits on food, and one new employee should not be the excuse given at Doc's Smokehouse. Docs has great food, and amazing customer service. Hopefully what happened Friday night is not the new norm. Go try docs, but don't count on it being the service that you're used to getting.

We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it! If you think this is anything other than spectacular there is something wrong with your pallet. We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.

Lion's Choice may be considered a fast-food restaurant, but your sandwich is made fresh. If you order inside at the counter, you can see them slicing your roast beef. My go to cheese is my favorite cheese, Pepper Jack. The seasoning they use and the Pepper Jack makes it a perfect sandwich to me. When anyone ask me, which fast food place has the best french fries, I always respond, Lion's Choice. Their fries still have the skins on, are fried crisp and just lightly salted. The kitchen is always clean from the counter view and the dining room is well maintained as well. The cashiers are friendly and provide excellent customer service. If you like Roast Beef sandwiches with or without cheese, I highly recommend you go and enjoy one at Lion's Choice. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

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.

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.
