    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!

    LOVE Booby's! Grew up eating it with my dad, my aunt and her sister owned it awhile, then one of my…read morebest friends owned it. Reopened in 2024 and am SO glad. Service today was great - freshly made. They have a lot of the original sandwich recipes - and the McBride Special is my absolute favorite.
