To be honest, I was not impressed. I walked out without buying anything and that is unusual for me…read morewho has a fully stocked bar at home. I thought the variety of liquor was poor and leaned towards the lower end of quality and price point. With that being said, my local grocer beats them on price. I was not impressed with the mixers, garnishes and bar accessories, too. However, they did have an extensive selection of beer and the prices were good. For me, a cocktail snob, I'll make the drive to Edwardsville or Saint Louis for a better liquor store.

I needed a birthday gift for a cousin who's a beer connoisseur and Top Shelf came to my rescue. As…read moreI was browsing the beer aisles looking for inspiration, I hit the gold mine. My cousin is an alumni of University of Illinois and I found ILL IPA. It was the perfect gift and Destihl Brewery, makes a donation to U of I athletics for every sale of this beer. The staff was helpful and friendly. The young lady cashier got me signed up for their rewards program. The gentleman ahead of me in line had a cart full of booze and beer. He was having a party and already was a rewards customer. Lucky him, he got to redeem some of his points and save on his purchase. With today's economy, I recommend signing up and taking advantage of any rewards program that is offered to you.

We stopped into the Edwardsville location for a quick visit, picking up a bottle of red (from Australia) and a bottle of white (from New Zealand), along with some other stuff. I really liked how the wine sections were organized with large ceiling signs, allowing us to focus on specific types and then narrow it down by price and ratings. Checkout was a snap, with friendly, helpful cashiers.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any of their Dirt Cheap brand beer in stock, as it hadn't been made in a while. That made me sad, because there's nothing like getting a case or two and heading back to Chicago with it. Everyone wonders where I got the beer with the sexy chicken on it.

Let me start off saying, you cannot go wrong buying your meats from their butcher case. If you're…read moregrilling, or entertaining, this is where you want to buy your meats. You'll be thrilled with a Ribeye, Brat or a pound of Ground Beef. Their chicken will even win you over and you'll be talk of the town. Everyone will be talking about your meat. Now, I want to tell you about their hot prepared foods counter. If you are lazy and don't want to cook, come and select from the variety of meats and side dishes. I've enjoyed; Pork Steak, Chicken Breast, Meat Loaf, Ribs and Hamburger. My sides have been, Mac-n-Cheese, Greet Beans, Scalloped Potatoes and Baked Beans. None have been disappointing, except for the cheese on the burger. I was just a cold slice of American Cheese placed on top. I did a little zap in the microwave to get it to melt a little when I got it home. The service is friendly and attentive. The reason they lose a star from me is one employee, is not so friendly. She's middle-aged and has the personality of a wet rag. I cringe when she is the one assisting me at the counter. When assisted by other employees it is an entire different experience. I will return and hope that I do not get the negative lady and hopefully be able to raise them back up to 5 Stars.
