The weather was perfect for it, and I love dining outside so when we walked in to be seated we asked for the balcony seating. You take the stairs up to the second floor and then walk out onto the balcony. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was knowledgeable, made suggestions, took our drink order and food orders quickly and brought everything right out. This time I ordered the chips and queso for a starter, and the chicken quesadilla for my meal. Both were very good. My husband had the CRP sandwich with crispy chicken and French fries. You can also get it with grilled chicken if you prefer. Everything came out hot and fresh. Large enough portions that half of everything went home for lunch the next day. Check them out!

Food is fresh made, and the service was excellent. I will be back again soon. Need to try…read moreappetizers.

They said the food was pretty good and they had been in several times. I've been back a couple times for drinks. Every time the staff has been receptive and the drinks are on the cheaper side. So overall I think it is a great place to stop in, although I still don't have experience with the food.

The Perfect Shot is a tiny bar in Herrin to play some pool and have a drink. I only went here…read morebecause my buddy's band was playing there. And I probably won't go back. However, if you live in that area and don't want to go to Carbondale, it's an OK place to hang out. The average crowd was a bit country and probably in the 30+. So if you're in your 20s and looking for a piece of action, you may want to go somewhere else.

They are always amazing. The food has been good on some visits and absolutely terrible at other times. I know there is a new chef and a lot of new staff, so we are trying to be patient while everyone gets trained. I'm adding pics of the filet and ribeye we had right before Chef Chris' departure. Also, I would love to see some attention to the patio. It has amazing potential, and we absolutely love having dinner out there, but for a golf course and restaurant of this caliber, it could use some love. Updated outdoor furniture would be a great start!

Great people! I was there Saturday. The crowd was really fun. Bartenders and staff were great…read more Terrific venue to relax and have fun with friends. Here are my highlights: 1) They have a new TouchTunes juke box with an amazing sound system. If you love great music this is your place. The PhotoBooth and Karaoke feature was a blast. 2) They also have two new pool tables and new dart machines. I'm not much of a player but I believe they run leagues. 3) On a scale of 1-5, the beer garden and outside bar is a 4.8. Really fun out door seating around the bar or to watch live shows on the outside stage. They also have a dance floor inside. 4) The food was good. It's definitely above average for a Sports Bar. 5) They also have Las Vegas Style slots and poker machines coming in a few weeks. It was a really fun high energy night. I can't wait to go back.

Despite IL having passed an anti-smoking in public accommodations law in 2008 - in 2015 almost every patron was smoking and the waitress (who didn't believe my 24 year old brother was of age) seemed to be drunkenly oblivious as she danced to some Michael Jackson (at least I liked the song)
