I started with a cold tasty glass of Stag. We also ordered the huge soft pretzel with cheese. This is a meal in itself. So good and fresh! Now for the entree. I had the juicy double cheeseburger with fries. I was slightly full from the delicious pretzel. I was able to enjoy half of my burger and took the rest home for a late night snack. I loved my visit to the Corner Chill & Grill. Great food, ambiance, and amazing service. This is a gem in Belleville!

I consistently get their fish platter and it is consistently good! The batter the cod pieces are breaded in is seasoned well and adds the best flavor. Another favorite of mine are the fish or shrimp tacos! This visit we tried the onion petals, they were good but I will always recommend their mushrooms as an appetizer choice! Their prices are fair in regards to quality and quantity!

Being a country girl, you know I like my homegrown meat, even more so when it comes all packed in…read morethat natural casing, oohh gurl! I've been eating these little smokey sausages since I can remember. They're about 6 inches long, an inch wide, and are the best after you let'em dry up for awhile inside that white butcher paper in your fridge. Let me tell you, these gone be the best little Illinois meat sticks you ever ate, if you ever head that way. I've never been to visit the birthplace of heaven's own meat stick until this, my All Americuhan weekend. Schuberts packing company gives you all the small town meat shop experience you could ever dream for. The breezeway bulletin board's got loads of ads for meat shoots, gun swaps, and farm equipment and animal sales. After you bust through that fence, you get hit with all the linked and hanging sausages, slabs, tubes, bones and sides of raw animal flesh that you can handle, with the added bonus of a stuffed black bear peaking out the corner and scaring the crap out of you. We got the requisite smokies and decided to try out the apple brats. And, lo, that moment shall be set forth as The Time We Found the Best Bratwurst in Americuh. With a taste and smell that is more than the usual greased and grilled meat mash, The Apple Brat is the Beacon of the Bun. Apple Brat's innards are not so packed in there that you feel like you're biting into a meat cake. This Apple Angel is fluffy and light with a casing that crisps right up over an open flame. Even rarer, is the lack of pits. Any meat lover knows how spectacular the thought of a pitless brat is. Schubert's has several other varieties of brats and saus to pick from. Next time, I'm gunning for that chorizo, it looked so spicy fresh! Oh, and there was a plate of tongues. Gray spotted, skin on. Lickey! Lickey!

I love you Schubert's.

Back at Walton's again; this time to meet friends for lunch. Based on a friend recommendations I…read moretried the Pork Fritter Sandwich with "the best fries ever" on the side. The sandwich was huge and the pork was so tender that it didn't cause any problems for my old lady dental issues. I ate the left overs cold for dinner and the meat's tenderness remained. My treat (besides the best fries ever) was a caramel apple cider float - I look forward to getting it every fall. The cider comes from a local orchard and is a great accompaniment to the delicious, creamy ice cream, caramel sauce and fresh chopped apple garnish. And those fries....they are crispy, flavorful and so delicious that it's worth it to me to drive the 20 minutes just for them. I talked with one of the Walton family and found out their secret (besides serving them piping hot) is that they fry them in beef tallow. Yummmm If you're near Smithton give this place a try. It's small with a walk-up window and outside seating. It sometimes gets quite crowded, but the staff hustles so the wait is usually not long. There is easy parking in the lot next door. They take cards, but there is a $5 minimum. PS - this huge fritter and ample portion of fries was $9; a very reasonable price.

Nothing fancy, nothing overdone, just solid food that hits the spot and doesn't cost a fortune. And the beer? Ice cold in those frozen mugs. You really can't beat that after a long day. If you're in Millstadt or passing through, Reinhardt's is one of those places that reminds you why small‑town spots are the best -- good food, cold beer, and a laid‑back vibe that feels familiar even if it's under new management.

Coming from the city with more Michelin star BBQ joints than any other, I was ready for some BBq and, Beast was the next best ranked on the STL List, so I jumped in my car to experience the hype. Upon entry I was underwhelmed by the setting. The ambiance immediately had me doubting the food, but the optimist in me was hoping it just meant all the money went into the food instead. The place was pretty empty, so my wait time for the food was longer than expected. My order was turkey and brisket, my two favorite meats at my favorite BBQ joints. My verdict on the brisket. It was dry and lacked flavor. The turkey was no different, I had to reach for the sauce. I thought I was being adventurous to drive out of my way, turns out it was a waste of gas money. Finally, the staff. They were amazing. Friendly, helpful, and patient. This staff paired with good BBQ would have been a killer experience. Onward, the search continues.
