So we bought whole Italian bread and had it sliced , 1/4 lbs prosciutto and 1/4 lbs smoked Gouda and a couple of sodas. We made our own sandwiches for drive back to St Louis. The atmosphere is just spectacular. I felt like a kid in a candy store. It's not south Philly but as best as can get in Collinsville. Looking forward to September to attend next Italian festival.

They're semi-famous…read morelocally for their Sunday all you can eat brunch buffet but I went mid-week for lunch to try one of their sandwiches. They have both an inside and outside dining area, the inside being small and cozy, a little bit of an old school diner atmosphere. I grabbed a seat inside and was promptly greeted with a smile and given a menu by the friendly waitress. They had several options that sounded enticing. I inquired about the bacon they used on their BLT but the waitress wasn't sure except that it was a standard thin cut bacon and she thought it was tasty. Preferring thick cut bacon, I finally decided to go with the reuben sandwich with a side of crinkle potato chips. The sandwich was served to me impressively fast, less than 10 minutes and, to my surprise, the waitress offered me a sample strip of their bacon. It was surprisingly good so I may have to go with a BLT next time. Anyway, the reuben was the star of my lunch, served traditionally on perfectly grilled marbled rye bread. The sandwich was delicious, not a large amount of corned beef but enough to be well balanced with the other components of the sandwich. The corned beef itself was sliced sandwich thin, a bit chewy but otherwise delicious. I really enjoyed the sandwich. The potato chips were standard fare but tasted fresh.The highlights of the visit were the friendly staff, fast service, fairly reasonable prices and the free sample of bacon was icing on the cake. I'll return soon with my wife who is sure to order their BLT. I'll probably give their Philly cheese or french dip a try.

I recently visited this place for the first time ever. On Sundays they have an all you can eat…read morebuffet for $14.95 and I wanted to try it. I will say this is an old school diner with everything to match. Luckily the prices matched up with the old school decor. The buffet is set out on the patio and there were plenty of options. From salad, to your favorite breakfast items- eggs, hashbrowns, sausage links, sausage patties, bacon, pancakes. Then there was biscuits and gravy, Mac n cheese mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, pasta, meatballs, brats and some packaged little dessert cakes and muffins. It was a great value for $14.95 and if you have a big family it is an affordable way to eat out and feed the whole family. My server was great, she talked highly of the place and with passion when I mentioned it was my first visit.

The beer here is pretty cheap, if you're paying by card there is a $10 minimum. I didn't have any of the food but the menu I saw online looked really appetizing. Staff here was pretty young but the crowd here was more middle-aged than anything. It's in a pretty busy intersection too. They have Gaming Machines too. They have an outdoor area but it was too cold to be over there. In the far back room they have basically a Four Seasons room but they have a heater so it doesn't get too cold over there and boy does it feel like it could get to 90° over there like you're in a senior center or Florida! Overall I was pretty satisfied with a visit here though it was pretty short .

I can never hold the steak, potato, garlic bread, and salad, so my husband usually gets my potato, too. Their homemade ranch salad dressing is to die for! I admit I was too cheap to go out for steaks for most of my life...but that was before we discovered Horseshoe. Now, we enjoy their absolutely delicious steaks quite often. Their various hamburger specialties are absolutely delicious as well. I want to continue to support this local business not only because their food is excellent but also because they make it affordable to go out for a steak, even in the current economic climate. I definitely give them five stars and can't wait until my next visit to Horseshoe!

The steamer is a hot sub with corned beef brisket and pastrami, provolone cheese, and sauces. You can customize the type of bread, size of the sandwich, and fixings. I think it's "Single Girl Friendly" as I get the large and make two meals out of it. It reheats just as delicious as fresh made. There may be other sandwich shops and/or sandwiches out there that are equally delish, but I visit Firehouse versus the other shops due to app. It is SUPER easy to order and pay for a delish sandwich. You earn points for each order on the app. I haven't used my points yet. I imagine it will be just as easy, but will update if it's merited. My orders have always been correct and ready by the promised time. The interior has been clean on every visit, and the staff are always friendly.

Curiously they were out of simple things like cheddar cheese, tomatoes and a couple other items which made it challenging to prepare most of the sandwiches on the menu.

Going to chalk it up to working out kinks in a new business and will try again at later date.

I've been a lot of places, but the country girl in me remains. So when I saw the mason glasses on the table I knew I was about to eat good. The menu was straight to the point (they have hummus) and that makes me feel like you're sharing your favorite dishes consistently. The drink menu is extensive (because it's a distillery) and there are so many unique things you can try. I had the blackberry lemon press and it was yummy. We also had the sloppy fries, smash burgers (one with signature bacon jam), onion rings, cheesecake, and carrot cake. It was all very flavorful. They have a store attached if you want to take some drinks home & they have a virgin menu for your Christian friends. The dining room is well lit and you can eat outside on good weather days. Even in bad weather days, it's a nice view outside with only glass between you and outdoors. Staff were great and service was timely. I would say the food is cooked to order & you don't need to tell them how to prepare a burger. It comes out juicy and medium well to perfection. They also have a BBQ kick to the ketchup they serve. Oh, there's a Rte 66 sign around the corner if you're just passing through (but I get the sense they know if you're not from around those parts). I hope your dining experience is as good as mine was!
