Stopped in and got a double, yes a double, cheeseburger...its not on the menu but its available. Served quickly, fresh and hot. The addition of a good Colby cheese instead of fake wannabe cheese is a great addition. Service is always quick and friendly. Not a big menu but what they do they do right and quickly. Not fancy, just a stop in and have good food for reasonable prices. Its always been quiet and peaceful when Ive been there. If you want a good quick burger for lunch, this is the place. read more

Cute little place in Nauvoo. There are maybe 8 long tables to sit at. Each table has a sign asking you to please be mindful of how long you sit as the space is small and it does get quite busy. You order at the counter, sandwiches, burgers, hotdogs. Buckets of chips, canned soda in the fridge and they're known for The Brick (looks like an ice cream sandwich). We shared the chicken salad on a croissant. It was quite delicious. Tots could have been cooked a tad bit longer in the fryer. The rice Krispy treat - 100% yummy. read more

You can't beat the prices. Tots are great but I highly recommend NOT getting the burgerdilla. I got it for its uniqueness but the burger grease and chipotle trapped inside the tortilla was not great. Order a regular burger or sandwich and you'll love it. It's a classic burger joint feel. read more

Great food for a great price. Friendly service delicious desserts We make sure we stop in every time we're in town. You should to. read more

Kind staff and helpful too. Salads grabbed "to go" were wilty and inedible. Once brought to their attention, they quickly took action by allowing us to choose other salads and removed all salads with the same expiration date from the cooler. Soft serve Ice cream is delish and I look forward to trying an ice cream "Brick". read more

Ordered both the sausage breakfastdilla and the bacon egg and cheese croissant. We got in only 5 or so minutes after they opened so we had to wait a while for the food in their cute little store, but god was it worth it. This was the best breakfast meal I've had in a very long time, all for $6. I can't recommend it enough honestly. I'm going to be thinking about that quesadilla for months now. read more

Great place for a burger. They have twists, like the DillaBurger (or something like that). It's a burger but instead of a bun it's wrapped in a flour tortilla. It's unique. But there bestest is the "Brick". It's a fantastic treat after the pageant, or before the pageant, or ANYTIME!! read more

Very tasty, reasonably priced. The ice cream "bricks" and the burgerdilla was amazing! And they had gluten free buns as well.

This place was great, there's not a lot of places to eat in nauvoo but my burger was super great, it does take a long time for your food but the pineapple teriyaki was great. read more

Underwhelmed here. The desserts are far smaller and less adorned in real life than what you see in the photos. And they aren't scooped fresh, either. The food here is ok, but not a place we'll consider returning to. Lots of opportunity for upgrades and improvements. read more

This place was awesome. The cashier was so kind. We all have Gluten allergies and he walked us through his gluten free options (GF bread) that were extensive. The price is good. The Durphy sandwich was so good, I loved it. The tater tots could have been cooked a little longer for my liking. read more

We LOVED our visit to The Red Front. we're traveling through from Georgia and wanted a unique dining experience. The food was so delicious, the atmosphere was so cute and small town comforting, and the prices were incredible. The food is really quality burger joint food, for a fraction of the price that we would. normally spend on a meal for our family. Bailey and Connor were so friendly and provided us with great customer service. Thanks for the great experience while we were here visiting! We 100% recommend! read more

Food was good. Best thing we had was the burgerdilla. We also tried the tots with cheese and bacon. They were okay, seemed like they had been cooked for a while. Teriyaki burger was pretty good too. one of our Ice cream bricks had melted a little as it wasn't brick shaped. I would eat here again. Food was prepared quickly, so I guess you could say service was good. You order at the counter and seat yourself. Cute atmosphere. read more

The food was fine. But jeesh served in a paper wrapper and tables needing to be wiped. I get it this is a small family business and their season is only a few months long AND there are just not many places to eat in this town. But what does it take to clean tables between guests? I had to use sanitary spray and napkins to clean before we ate. (Ate there twice only because there is nowhere else to eat) Also take a look at their napkin dispensers. They are full of greasy finger prints and smeared food. read more

A+ Service, A+ Food! Our favorite tradition when we come to Nauvoo. Their "bricks" (ice cream) are the best!

Okay just to be clear: so the four stars is for the huge rice crispy treat. The sandwiches and burgers are not particularly tasty - but they are inexpensive. (Oh, and they're about the only choice there is in Nauvoo so... haha). The staff are friendly so the service is good. The building is old so the ambiance is quaint. read more

We visited Nauvoo for the day and when lunchtime hit the restaurant options were slim. We had passed The Red Front earlier in the day so we returned to give it a try. The menu includes hamburgers, hotdogs and deli sandwiches. I had the Durphy Turkey which was turkey, bacon, cheese and sauce of some type. It was served hot on a soft white roll and I made it a combo which includes soda and tots. Two other people in my party had the Burgerzilla, which is a burger in a quesadilla type wrap. They both enjoyed it. The service was friendly. The dining room has a urban feel to it. Seating was limited so be prepared to share your table if it's busy. read more

They're the only game in town folks! But they're not sittin' on their laurels... I ordered the Burgerdilla and it was GOOD! Hubs and I shared an order of plain tots, which I would have preferred if they'd cooked them more. The service was GREAT. The food came out pretty fast. And the atmosphere is nice. THE place for lunch in Nauvoo, in more ways than one. read more

The food might be one of the few reasonable lunch places in Nauvoo. A good description is "one of the last refuges of "a good deal." The food is pretty good quality and the prices are more than reasonable. It's conveniently located downtown near the temple. Service is slow cause they make it to order. Quality was very good. I had the chipotle burger and my wife got the croissant chicken salad. This is essentially a great family restaurant for large families. read more

Solid local burger and sandwich joint. The deserts are outstanding. Service was extremely friendly and quick. All food is prepared fresh. Burgers are kinda small but priced accordingly. Definitely a good place to stop and eat read more

Comfortable dining area, excellent food, amazing prices! Would highly recommend trying it out!!

The food here was great! Very fun spot to eat in downtown Nauvoo. We also got the lemon brick to share and it was very good. The service was also quick and friendly. Definitely worth a try! read more

The Red Front - Burgerdilla (a burger inside a quesadilla) - American Near Me - Nauvoo, Illinois

The quesadilla burger alone is worth the effort to travel all the distance toNauvoo. Since during the winter, this is the only place open to get a bite to eat, be kind and supported as much as you can. I've come here over the years and sure hope it survives. But they've got to be on a shoestring with poor Attendance during the colder months. This place deserves to be wonderfully supported. read more

Grabbed lunch here today and it was delicious! The hamburger was hot and fresh! We also enjoyed some nice cold drinks! It was also really quick and quality service! Highly recommend! read more

Good hamburgers at a good price. Not many places to eat in Nauvoo. This was the best place. What they need is an Amish type fired chicken buffet. But the food was still good. read more

The price is good, the food is ok, the wait is long. Though, it is one of the few places open later in the evening.

Can't say if I recommend this business or not. We're not from around here and besides a gas station, they're the only place that has breakfast. Except they were closed the one morning we were there. They were the only place open for lunch in town, so we went there. Right after we ordered, about 30 people came in and ordered. We waited. And waited. And after all those people AFTER us got food, I asked the guy where ours was and he said they didn't have anymore orders to fill. So we had to wait some more. At least it was fresh. It was good food. Just frustrated that this kind of thing always happens to us no matter where we go. read more

Not too many options in this cute little town but we enjoyed this place well enough. It was a good place for a quick bite of food for lunch.

I had high hopes. There aren't many options in Nauvoo, so I guess that would make revisiting The Red Front fairly likely for a meal out. The aesthetic is charming, and one star is for the pleasant atmosphere. The food left a whole lot to be desired. Honestly, it is very typical fare and quality for the region, but that is likely why no restaurants ever seem to make it long in the area. One good thing about it is that The Red Front doesn't show the nerve to charge what some other places in town charge for the same substandard culinary experience. read more

Killer cinnamon rolls, great breakfast sandwiches, great burgers and an awesome selection of bricks (hard ice cream on brownie or cookie).

Great food at a great price. Wife got the turkey sandwich and I got the Hawaiian burger and both were insanely good. Be prepared to wait a bit around lunch as they make everything fresh and there was a ton of other patrons there. read more

Nice option for food in Nauvoo! Plenty of seating. The was really good and totally hit the spot. We had a huge rice krispy treat, the s'mores brick, the white chocolate raspberry brick, two bacon guac burgers, chicken salad croissant, the classic dog and the Red Front dog. Btw there were only 3 of us haha! Good eats!! read more

The look and feel of this one is fun :) Open and roomy inside. We had cinnamon rolls, they were good, the frosting was the best! They would be amazing heated up! We didn't have burgers or anything, but what we saw looked good. Service was quick and friendly. We will be back. read more

We ended up eat here for lunch AND dinner since it was one of the few places open after 6. Our lunch was made and served by the owners. The service and food were good and properly priced for the serving size/quality. When we returned for dinner it was only employees working and the things had gone downhill. Food was poorly made, wait times long, other patrons in the room were grumbling too. I was able to tell the folks around me that it had been much better earlier in the day. I highly recommend eating here while visiting Nauvoo, just hope the wonderful owners are present. read more

Convenient, easy and affordable! Prefect for a family with children. They make it very easy for the kids to pick out their food choices with a casual cafeteria style setup. They had microwaveable and fresh options like mac & cheese cups, ravioli cups, chips, oatmeal cups, fruit cups, bananas, apples, canned and bottled drinks, salads, sandwiches, etc. Their homemade desserts are great! I recommend the "Red Front Brick" dessert. read more

This place has way better than Annie's across the street. Save your money and get a brick. Food meh. Service meh. Ambience meh.

Visiting Nauvoo during the off-season leaves few options for food. The Hotel Nauvoo is closed during the week (pandemic staff shortages). Across the street is a Red Front. Open! So in we went. We did not regret it. The service was friendly and fast. The Red Front burger was delicious. My favorite (front what I was able to sample) was the Chipotle Dog. I would recommend that if you like a good, unique dog. A flavorful dog, very fresh bread, tortilla chip strips and some tasty sauce (not too much heat). Perfect! read more
