If you're looking for a unique dinner experience with some fun views, this is the place for you! The atmosphere is welcoming with friendly staff eager to recommend their favorites and help in any way they can. The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers! read more

We visited for lunch on a gloomy Saturday. I was sad it wasn't the right weather for the patio, because it looks very nice! We did not have a wait and the host was very friendly. My husband ordered the taco of the week, which was a buffalo chicken taco. I had the barria chicken tacos. Both are served with chips and salsa. We added queso, which I highly recommend. We swapped a taco so we could try both kinds. The meal was delicious and the service was great! Parking is easy, right out front. Bathrooms are very clean and so was the restaurant. We will definitely be back when we can sit outside! read more

I went here for my birthday with reservations at 6pm. Thursdays are buy one get one half off for appetizers. Another person and I got appetizers as our meal and we got one as a table. The waitress encouraged us to order another to get "the deal" so we did get one to go. By the time we got our food we had been there an hour and a half already which was fine. But by the time we finally tracked someone down for a check We were there 2.5 hours at this point. Our waitress was busy, which again was fine but we needed to leave as it was nearing 9pm so that's why we grabbed someone and asked to split the check three ways. Then our waitress came back and said because we split it three ways we didn't get the appetizer deal. We asked if she could redo the checks then and she said "no I can't redo them" which I don't feel is true. So now we paid full price for an appetizer we were encouraged to get for "a deal" and no discount, no appetizer comped, but we left after three hours there with three beer tokens as an apology I guess. We live over an hour a way so these are useless. I've been once before and now I'm upset I recommended and took my whole family here for my birthday. Definitely not worth the drive. read more

It was awful!! The salads were way over dressed to the point we were unable to eat them. Caesar and a southwest. The brisket quesadillas were greasy and brisket way over smoked for my taste. Waitress was not attentive despite the place being nearly empty. I had to physically chase her down twice for drinks and our check. Guacamole tasted old and way too much lime juice. Would Not recommend this establishment. read more

Really great brews! Incredibly enjoyable food! I wasn't expecting much in DuQuoin- but this was definitely with the trip!

Yep, this place absolutely kills it in every single regard. Airport food usually sucks and usually disappoints, but St. Nick is the only one worth your time. The restaurant is easy to find and is set back in the main airport building. The main dining room is sizeable and opens up onto the airfield for additional seating. The weather has been terrible, so I haven't tried it, but I can't wait to sit outside and watch the planes. The service is always stellar, and they absolutely fill my diet coke addiction with constant refills. Everything they serve from the burger, the breakfast sandwich, the nachos, the fries, the queso (it's Alfredo, not queso), the vinegar aioli, and the surprisingly life-affirming Mahi Mahi blows me away each time. I tried them once and ended up eating there 5-6 times in two weeks. Visiting family has also loved coming here repeatedly. I'm a fan and will always be a customer ad long as I live in the area. read more

A great new addition to the St. Nicholas family. A different atmosphere and menu than the other locations with some delicious options and the same great beer! Friendly and accommodating staff and legit bartenders! Try the cocktails if you're not a beer drinker...you won't be disappointed. I love the cauliflower tacos and corn dip! To top it off, the patio is so fun. Come during the day and you have a front row seat to some pretty cool airport action. read more

We called ahead for reservations. We arrived earlier than expected and checked in with the host. Explained we were early and he said it's not a problem. Taken to our table right away. Multiple parties walked in after we sat down and were waited on in a timely fashion. We sat there with our menus for 20 minutes and were never spoken to by another staff member or server. We quietly got up and walked back out. Multiple staff members watched us leave and never inquired about the reason for our departure. read more

Barry and his daughter have presented a great menu and service for months since we moved here October 2024. We love the place and have high hopes for it's success! The venue and general vibe has been excellent... until recently. After SEVERAL trips out the last few months eating at the bar, we've had occasional questions on the bill (*which came out without the itemized list of charges typically included as per standard practice). When I asked the bartendress for that detail (this last time we visited), she literally accused me of being "rude" to her... after asking for an itemized bill (?) Suffice to say, this is the THIRD time we've been served by this SAME bartendress and her demeanor has been "shifty" and not at all customer oriented and actually became worse with each visit. But this last time was 100% unacceptable and we are really sad. read more

Food is all pretty decent, don't order the steaks as they are quite bland. $100 Burger (just the name) had a soggy bottom bun, but was otherwise good. The service leaves much to be desired, the food takes quite awhile and drinks take quite awhile to arrive/receive refills. They forgot our appetizer, but we were able to take it off the bill, so an earnest mistake. The ambiance, however, is quite lovely featuring a beautiful location with a lovely view and a lovely interior design. read more

Pretty good food. I'm so glad they have some interesting vegetarian options. They do like to put bacon on everything tho, so gotta pay attention when I order. I haven't liked any of their beer yet but they have good bar options. Decent service, and we didn't have to wait long for our food read more

A friend and I went to check this place out this week. I'm not to big on chain restaurants so I thought about going to Midland Inn. They haven't got their hours straightened out since the pandemic so they were closed as usual when I can go there. I'm sorta glad they were because that made us think of this place instead. First of all, we were a little confused of where to park and go do a little more signage for a new person would be nice but we figured it out soon enough. As soon as we walked in we could smell all the goodness coming from the kitchen. The restaurant/brewery was very clean and nicely decorated. We decided to sit at the bar so we can watch the planes, takeoff and land. The bartender waiting on us was lovely and very accommodating. It was half-price margaritas on Tuesday so that's what we ordered. This is no margarita mix. The bartender uses only fresh ingredients, and the rim of the margarita is done with simple syrup and granulated salt. It was one of the most superb margaritas I've ever had. For an up charge of one dollar you could make it a flavor other than lime they had many available like strawberry spicy, mango, etc. I ordered an entrée of three tacos. It was good, but I absolutely loved the chips and salsa that came with it. I meant to ask the bartender if the salsa was housemade because it was delicious and those chips I swear I think they may have been sprinkled with crack, because they were so addictive. My friend ordered the $100 Wagyu beef burger. (Really only $24) I have to say it was the best burger I've ever had or one of the best I've had in a really long time. She said the fries she ordered with it was great too. We stayed for another margarita because they were half price (you know, girl math) and watched the planes take off for awhile after settling up the bill. We will definitely be back and be telling of our great experience there. read more

It's a shame to leave a harsh review to such a unique place with good food. I've visited multiple times and each time had the same problem: the kitchen is very slow and you should be prepared to wait 40-60 minutes for your food. The servers are often kind but inattentive and openly admit the kitchen is poorly managed. Our server today was too scared of the kitchen to ask about our food after we had waited 40 minutes. The food arrived with a few mistakes, and the manager came over very apologetic about the whole thing and offered us dessert as an apology. It was a singular piece of pie for a table of 7. I enjoy the food a lot. But I can't feel comfortable recommending this place without a huge asterisk until the kitchen gets sorted out. A tip: it seems like the kitchen gets burgers out pretty quickly. If your plate has more than one cooked item, it seems that's too complex for them to manage effectively. So maybe just stick to burgers and sandwiches if you go. read more

St Nicholas Brewey at the SIUC airport is a fantastic restaurant. The food was excellent, service was great, and the patio is amazing. Getting to watch the airplanes take off while you eat is phenomenal. I recommend anyone with a college student to take advantage of this great venue and atmosphere. read more

I don't live in the area, but when I visit, I always stop in here to eat. Everything I've ordered to eat has been fantastic! There's a nice mix of flavors, and everything has been cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend it for those that like a mix of flavors, good beer, or a nice atmosphere. read more

Dirty poor service low lighting didn't have stuff that's on the menu servers were avoiding customers a shit show

We had a group of 30 people and 1 server. Our orders were sent it a week in advance besides our drink orders. We get the checks and she said we can only do 8 check's instead of split it by families. We paid separately at the bar and our server GOT FIRED right then and there! She was absolutely amazing! Poor girl. read more
