It was a…read moregreat pit stop for a roadtrip and to get something somewhat health, but the price point and portion size or service wasn't anything to rave about. I would say a solid choice for a decent meal. Not amazing, but not crappy and I am sure consistent unlike some other places. Plenty of seating available and counter service ordering. Everyone seemed to be in great spirits which is a plus for ambiance.

Stumbled across this restaurant on a trip to St Louis, and we're glad we stopped. The first thing…read moreto catch the eye is a long glass-front counter full of delightful-looking desserts. The restaurant is obviously a local favorite spot as many other patrons were greeted by name by staff or other diners. We seated ourselves in a booth, of which circles the rest of the room with several tables down the middle. Service was quick, sweet tea for me, not often found in Illinois dining, but perfectly done for this southern girl. Hubby was just as happy with his unsweet tea. The homemade vegetable soup was warm, thick with vegetables, even some cabbage, midst the creamy broth. My hand-presses cheeseburger was as delectable as any, and would have been perfect if tomatoes were in season and carried more flavor. But the lettuce was crisp, the onion sharp, and the pickles crunchy. Hubby has a tossed salad and the catfish dinner. The fish was cooked in cornmeal, a real "down home" dish, plenty of it and plenty of flavor. Hush puppies were delicious, but not enough of them. Then, we both ordered dessert even though we knew we couldn't finish them: strawberry cake and a lemon crème pie. Out of this world! The price was reasonable for the excellent food and service, even in these days of austerity. We definitely intend to return to The Grille!

If you like confusing menus - this place isn't 4 U. Kalamata salad, gyros, gyro stew, French fries…read moreand baklava. Stew is great and comes with a cornbread that will beat grandmas - moist and hast a crust that tastes like honey. Basically beef stew with 1/4 the broth unlike most stews that are all broth. Gyros are great, order one with 2 sandwiches and you'll get more than U need. Owner is great and makes sure everybody is taken care of-asking if everything is good and talking to people when not busy. DID I SAY BEST DAMN CORNBREAD EVER - even without butter or honey and you cannot find that anywhere. Most cornbread is dry hard crumbly crap.

Pros: Cant beat the location and price....it was free since I was staying at the hotel. Staff was friendly and regularly checked up on us to refill coffees. Cons: Seems like the staff had a hard time keeping up with the food in the buffet area. 2 out of the 3 times I went up, the trays were half empty.

I have eaten at many BBQ spots in Kansas City and Texas, and these ribs were on par with the best. The baked potato was cooked perfectly, just as expected. The garlic bread was a little different but very satisfying and prepared the way I like it, nice and crisp. I also had a side salad, and the BBQ ranch made from their original sauce was very good. One small note. The side salad came out with the meal. I prefer it a bit earlier, but service was very fast so everything arrived close together. If that matters to you, I would suggest asking, as the servers seem happy to accommodate. I tried several sauces. I am not a fan of sweet sauces, so I stuck with the original and spicy. Both were excellent, and I could not pick a favorite. Overall, a great meal and a place I would return to. Easily a five star experience.

Its nt the decor or the location that gt 5ive stars. Its the great steaks and attentive friendly service. Very local vibe, people seemed to know each other and the staff was very chatty. Maybe a little too much because we ahd to keep flagging our waitress down who seemed a bit scattered. But still she was very nice. Other staff members checked on us several times so we were never lacting in anything. The stake I ordered (medium rare) which I always order came out very rare. If it was a little more done I would not have said anything. But someone from the kitchen stopped by the table and asked if I was ahppy with the tempature. I was nice about it and said, well not really, this seems very rare to me, not medium rare. WIthout complain he quickly took the stake on a side dish leaving the rest of myt meal to enjoy. Teo minutes laters a perfectly medium rare stake came out with a bit of char on the outside, hot and pink while still juicy inside. And it was a very good, very thick streak. Honestly I had wished I'd ordered a large cut. ANd isn't a great steak your looking for when going to a steakhouse?
