He never stopped working the whole time I was here and still was personable and grateful. The pizzas here are stacked with cheese. That's really the draw for the pie. All around 5 stars. From start to finish.

My only issue is the occasional pizza that is a tad undercooked.. I like my mozzarella with a little color and not just melted. The place is a little bit of a drive for me since I live in Belleville but I seem to not have a problem getting out here 3 to 4 times a year. ... pics included

DH got the chicken and dumplings which was one of the specials. He had the option of a large bowl of dumplings or a smaller bowl with 2 sides and he chose the large bowl. These looked very good and homemade. He didn't leave any behind. I ordered the BLT (hold the lettuce) that came with chips. It had plenty of bacon, which was a plus, but could have used a bit more mayo -- of course, that's a personal preference. I had chocolate pie for dessert and it was delish! The slice was large enough to share. Staff was friendly and prompt. For lunch, the meal was a bit pricey, but what isn't nowadays?

$187 for a family of four to have a breakfast on par with the Holiday Inn Express…read more So disappointing. We were excited to get a reservation for this breakfast experience. Unfortunately it was awful. We were sat on the enclosed porch. We had Christmas music blaring so loud that you had to shout. (Someone later unplugged the speaker.) The temp on the porch reached 79, which was quite uncomfortable. We waited about 45 minutes for our food. And, boy was it awful. Frozen pancakes, frozen biscuits, ok gravy, ok casserole and really good sausage links. No serving utensils for anything - had to use my fork to get gravy. No butter. I will say, the place is decorated really well. Top marks for that. As far as food service - this place has no idea what they're doing. All in all - you'd be better off getting a room at the Hampton Inn. It would be cheaper and the breakfast is better. Guess you have to determine how much you're willing to pay for a photo of your kids with the Grinch. (Which we didn't get because we were so hot and uncomfortable.)

This is the ULTIMATE Christmas bar, and is well worth the drive to New Baden, IL. Not only are…read moretheir cocktails delicious and high quality, but the venue is decked from head to toe. You can tell the owners put a lot of love, care and Christmas cheer into making this place special and memorable. The entrance even has a photo station so you can get adorable group photos easily. This is one of the few Christmas bars that also offers family-friendly brunch in the mornings. I heard the Grinch brunch is amazingly silly and fun for Grinch lovers. Highly recommend requesting Ali as your server as she is an absolute delight and such a happy Elf! Be sure to try the Dubai Chocolate or Peppermint Patty drinks.

I had the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was fresh pork and freshly fried to perfection. And I had their fresh cut waffle fries.

The only negative was that the Touch Tunes it showed on an active. However, they didn't have the speakers on. So the song I chose to play was not heard.
