    Great pizza! Def spending more but it's a nice treat. We got a rich and chewy, thin and garlic cheese bread

    Order at the counter

    Thank you for being open today! I certainly enjoyed the taste of nostalgia while visiting Carbondale. A few things haven't change since the 80s. I called in my order from the parking lot and was able to get a single slice of garlic and spinach deep dish pizza, which is a meal in itself! So very good!!!! Safe distancing, safe indoor dining, and masked employees made me feel really good about stopping here for lunch. I think you should here too when you're in the area!

    We waited an hour for soda, water and a salad.

    Spaghetti was barely edible. Pizzas were ok. Only saving grace was the discounted beer.

    This place and I go back, way back when I was a student at SIU in the mid 70's ( yes I helped…read moreinvent dirt I'm that old, ha!). Anyhow I loved it then and I love it now - after all these years. The interior has been redone except for the old wooden bar at the very front. They used to have high back wooden booths along the south wall and east windows, with some additional small tables in the middle. The wooden booths are now gone and there's more of an open air setting with tables along the south wall with wooden bench style seats and high top tables in the center. They're still some pinball machines at the back that bring back fun memories. I found an old favorite on the menu, and ordered it - The Mcbide Special! It's a turkey, ham, and Swiss sandwich and comes with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, oregano, vinaigrette, a pickle, and chips ($11.95). It was just as good as I remembered it!. I sat at the bar where I was waited on by a friendly and polite employee. I enjoyed my visit, and reminded myself I shouldn't take so long to return. 5 stars for great service, sandwiches, and some fond nostalgia! Check them out!

I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

No manners when serving drinks and seemed to have an attitude. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but sadly I would not return here due to the poor service and quality of the drinks.
