Barria tacos and a tamale
R. M.

Great Mexican food, everything was fast and fresh, the refried beans had a slight Smokey chipotle flavor, my wife's Tamale was delicious and both of us we extremely satisfied with the flavor of our meals... 5 stars!

Create your own combo. Shredded beef taco and burrito with chili relleno.

This decent Mexican restaurant is just a short walk across the road from the Loves truck stop, and I have came over here a half dozen times over the last few years. I always seem to get the same thing. The create your own combo that I order as taco, burrito, and chili relleno. It's always above average, but tonight was even better. Cook must be on his game tonight. The chips are pretty good, but the salsa isn't so great. Beans and rice ate better than most places. Iced tea is very good. Service is always very good, and the place is always clean. Would definitely recommend this place.

First we had to walk past dirty tables to find a clean one. This is inexcusable in an empty restaurant. If they cannot be bothering to clean the tables, what do you think the kitchen looks like? Not 100% horrible as nothing seemed rotten but the best thing I can say is that I didn't get food poisoning. I have had way way better. At Taco Bell I've had WAY better. Hubs said his margarita was not very good as well which is always a bad sign. Fast service but totally flavorless food. Taco Bell across the street could give their "chef" lessons on using spices other than grease puddle my "Steak Mexicano" was swimming in. The waitress said it was marinated but if it was then it needs lots more time since it was neither flavorful NOR tender. It was tiny cubes of some tough, chewy, tasteless commercial grade of beef? fried in a large amount of grease with diced green bell peppers and onions coupled with chunks of way underripe tomato that was barely pink and tasted like cardboard. It was a colossal pain in the ass just to get a bite of food on the fork since it was so finely diced. I even had to add salt which I never do--especially considering how much I complain about over-salted food. The refried beans were soupy and flavorless without any discernible seasoning. The rice was the best thing on the plate and it was WAY below the standards being set by the Taco Bell across the street. Taco Bell is head and shoulders over this place as far as flavor and quality go, even as mediocre as Taco Bell food usually is. I was shocked that they have a sister restaurant in Vandalia since this one was SO Godawful MEDIOCRE. I wouldn't bother to come back. It was a bland and entirely forgettable meal. Want GOOD Mexican? Go somewhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE!! These people have no concept of seasoning or food prep of Mexican food. Old El Paso from a can is head and shoulders over the slop here. Even the "salsa" was awful--it tasted like cheap tomato sauce and a bit of cilantro. Spicy Ketchup is fine cuisine compared to this "salsa". One of the most memorably TERRIBLE meals I've had in years. I can't believe this is their second store, even in very rural Illinois people can't possibly think this is Mexican cuisine.

You wouldn't expect great Mexican food from a small town but this is better than every St.Louis Mexican restaurant.

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.

Driving through to Kansas and our night stop took us close Doc's and I'd never had St Louis style…read moreribs. 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.

Wow... how have I not been a constant customer here? I'd share pics, but I ate my portion way too…read morequickly! 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.

It's been a long time since I came to fire and smoke. My memories are all good. I suspect that…read moreit's still as good today as it was then. But I'm afraid my brisket sandwich did not live up to my memory. The good news is that the twister fries were excellent though not as hot as they should've been. But they were acceptable or I would have returned them. On the downside, I'm afraid of the brisket was fairly tough. Honestly, I've never made brisket. So I can't tell them how to fix that. I still enjoyed it. But I didn't quite finish it and it's very unusual. They deserve another try and I will be back.

This location in midtown is the original (I believe) and has a lot of charm and a great staff. There was no real line as I showed up in the first 30 minutes of their opening and on a Monday so I'm sure that made a big difference. I was helped by a super nice man up front who assisted me with my order and gave me the lowdown on the ordering and seating process. Pappy's has a large staff that were constantly clearing tables and delivering food. The manager (?) even stopped by the dining area and checked in with how our meals were. He also told me about the fried corn on the cob cooking process. Very interesting. I had a half slab of the ribs and chose the fried corn on the cob and baked beans as my sides. I filled by drink and found a seat and my meal was served shortly afterwards. The tables have 4 sauces to choose from if needed. Honestly, I loved the flavor of the ribs just the way they were served to me although I did try the sauces as I love to try these things when in a new place. The ribs had a glaze of sauce already on them and man were they good! The ribs were perfectly prepared with the iconic smoke ring around the edges. They were meaty and fatty just like they should be. These rate in the top 5 ribs I've ever had. I enjoyed the fried corn on the cob as it was super unique and finished with a sugar and salt coating but not too much. The BBQ beans were also good with pieces of pork mixed in. I highly recommend trying Pappy's when in the St Louis area. They really do a wonderful all around job.

So good, a must try!…read more Line is already long at 11am but they move through it. Plenty of spaces to park. They have you order and then get a table so there is enough seats. Brisket - my husband's favorite. Sliced thin. I also enjoyed it because it wasn't overly fatty. Pork - also delicious! The original bbq sauce was our favorite. Baked beans - hardy and delicious Fried corn - way better than regular corn on the cob Potato salad - more mustard/mayo based. Large potato chunks. It was delicious with a subtle flavor.

Road snack! Pit stop for BBQ right off the highway. Wish I could be more enthused…read more We pulled in around lunch time, there were a couple of people seated. To the left of the door was a window opening to the back with a woman standing there with a baby on her hip, we were looking around to see where to go and she let us know to head to the second window to the back. Upon arriving at the second window, there was a young man standing there. He didn't greet us, didn't smile, just stood there. I indicated it was our first time in and asked a question about the menu, he responded with the answer and then just continued to stand there. I was very uncomfortable so just ordered a sampler with nothing else. For the three options, i chose pulled pork, brisket, and 2 ribs. The food came out right away but no comments or anything. We saw the BBQ sauce area and I took a couple of options in condiment cups with no lids available. grabbed some napkins as we would continue our road trip and eat in the car. I am never a big fan of pulled pork; I have my favorite and compare all to it. This had more flavor than most I have had but it was really dry for being ordered early in the day. The brisket was tender and the fat attached gave flavor. The ribs were fine, also dry. This was a pit stop on our road trip because we love BBQ, this just wasn't for us.
