Carrot Cake
Shirley D.

Stopped by this cute little shop on Broadway because we were craving something sweet. Very welcoming with a nice size dining room for the space. Servers were very friendly. My husband ordered the carrot cake and I ordered the Tollhouse. Is it a cookie bar or a pie or both? I'm not sure but it was absolutely delicious. My husband also loved the carrot cake. We both got some piping hot coffee which was perfect on a cold winters day. They also serve lunch. So, we plan to be back to try out the lunch menu next time we are in the Alton area.

The restaurant has a nice, eclectic atmosphere with a great vibe and charming décor. Our group was fairly large--ten people in total--which made the experience a bit more challenging from the start. There was some initial confusion about how to order. It wasn't immediately clear where the menus were located or what the ordering process entailed. After some time, we realized that the menu was written on a chalkboard and that a server would come to take our order. However, it seemed like most other patrons had ordered at the counter before sitting down, though we weren't entirely sure if that was the standard process. When the food arrived, most of it was lukewarm, particularly the soups. While the flavors were good, the temperature was disappointing, especially since nearly everyone in our group had ordered soup with the expectation of warming up after our short hike. Unfortunately, that expectation wasn't met. Also, the croissant on my mini tuna was hard which is unexpected for that type of bragging. We all ordered dessert which was hotter than the lunch meal. Nothing spectacular but good nevertheless. The staff was friendly but appeared just as uncertain about the ordering process as we were. It seemed like there was a lack of clear communication about how things were supposed to flow, which added to the overall confusion of the experience.

We arrived around 12pm and sat down when we got there there were 3 other tables all had there food, we sat there for 20 mins no one came to take our food order we got up and went to the counter to order. A few tables of people came in after us and the server went to the table to take there orders and they received there food before us (we ordered two sandwiches, a soup and 2 drinks) very basic meals. It was very loud In there and the only time the server came to our table was to drop our food off he forgot our soup and when we asked for it he rolled his eyes and walked away. We were there for an hour before we received our food mine was a hot ham and cheese and my sisters was a turkey club my sandwich was not hot it was on the colder side and the bread was toasted however it felt like it had cooled and they warmed it up. The soup was hot however I had to go up to the counter to ask for a refill and handed my glass over and they never returned with it. We paid for our meals again 2 sandwich's a soup and 2 drinks came out to $45 dollars outrageous for the amount of time we waited and for what we ordered. Will not be returning.

Cup of Shrimp bisque, garden salad, cherry pie. October 2023

This lil family owned business has been through it. The original owner sold it to her chef years ago. While vacationing in Jamaica a few years back, the owner was in a fatal accident. Her family took over the business and has kept one of Alton's best lunch spots open. My kids grew up having lunch here with their late grandmother, so every time I walk through the door and see familiar faces, and smell the delicious food, it reminds me of her. The shrimp bisque was delicious and the pies are out of this world. Thank you to this wonderful talented family for keeping the dream and one of my favorite places to eat alive!

What a great place for lunch or dessert, or both! Pulled pork and chicken salad sandwiches did not disappoint.

Sara L.

Very sad to say that this was a fail for me. I popped in hoping to get dessert to go as I had ordered lunch elsewhere and was bringing it to have with a friend. I'd had this place on my bookmarks for awhile and was so eager to try them out! I walked in, the restaurant was about half full but there was a couple waiting ahead of me. Multiple employees walked by multiple times and did not speak to me or the couple... odd.... A few minutes go by - an employee comes out from the back (same employee that had walked by multiple times) and says to the couple "we need to get caught up with our customers then someone will be back". Okay... A few more minutes go by, same employee comes out and is wiping info off the chalkboard on the wall. The couple notices and asks if they still have desserts left. I didn't even realize there was a possibility they would run out... The employee says yes they only have bread pudding left. The couple ahead of me left and so did I because well... I don't like bread pudding :( I can understand that if they make the desserts daily they may run out, that makes sense. The disappointment is from the lack of service and courtesy when they did speak to the couple (no-one ever even acknowledged or spoke to me). Those that are waiting are also hoping to be your customer - please treat them as such.

Toll House Brownies
Noyes M.

This is definitely a hidden gem that is a must go to! It is set in an old building with natural hardwood floors and a view of the river. Beautiful quilts are hung throughout and the restaurant is meticulously clean! The staff were constantly cleaning tables and keeping on top of everything. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was tender and flavorful. The Turkey Club was absolutely delicious with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. We had the Turtle Pie and Toll House Brownies for dessert which were both incredible. A table near us had carrot cake and it looked amazing too! Our service was also great! Everyone was very friendly!

They have a delicious looking menu with lots of good looking sandwiches and some yummy desserts. I opted for a winter special of the granny grilled cheese and it comes to the side of soup and I got a mini cheesecake on the side. The girls working upfront are so sweet and took my order quickly and answered all of my questions. They also did a great job of bagging up my order to go with utensils and napkins in the bag which I really appreciate. They also even tape closed the box so nothing spills. When I got home and sat down to eat, the food all looked delicious and made it home safe because of the careful packaging. The granny grilled cheese was the perfect mix of sweet and savory that I adore. It was a little messy to eat, but I was eating by myself at home so I didn't care. The tomato soup was the perfect addition to a snowy day. it was warm and flavorful. The cheesecake was also delicious. I got the mini one so I could convince myself I was being healthy but wish I would have gotten a full sized slice because of how delicious it was. I got my order to go for a couple different reasons but one is that they don't have the largest inside seating area and it tends to get pretty full.

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.
