Wow, what happened to Mascoutah Steak House? Yesterday we had the worse meal there. They didn't…read morebring all the salad we ordered and the Ribeye steak ordered was not cooked correctly twice. And, the manager didn't seem interested in customer feedback disappearing during this proceds. The most unfortunate thing is they didn't comp the meal but only wanted to send a steak home to- go after all their mistakes and everone else had finshed their meals. I guarantee that will be the last time we visit Mascoutah Steak House. It's sad since it's one of the restaurants I look forward to when visiting the area. But, never again. Customers should leave feedback before the restaurant fails. So sad.

​I don't expect a five-star dining experience from a small-town spot, but I do expect basic hygiene…read moreand a shred of customer service. Neither was present when a group of six of us dined here yesterday. ​Let's be clear: Mascoutah Steak House is a "steakhouse" that only serves one actual cut of steak (a ribeye--and no, Salisbury steak is not a steak). We already had low expectations. The food itself was mediocre at best. The ribeyes ordered by our group came out looking grey with absolutely zero sear. I ordered the Cali salad; it looked fine, but it had a bizarre, sour flavor that was completely unidentifiable. ​While the food was disappointing, it isn't why I'm writing this review. ​The real issue was the glass of red wine I ordered. As I finished the glass, I discovered a huge fly sitting at the very bottom. I understand things happen, and I wasn't even going to make a scene. When our server took the glass back to the bar, I watched her. She looked into the glass with visible disgust. We made eye contact, and I mouthed to her, "Yeah, I drank out of that." ​Instead of apologizing, addressing the situation, or simply removing the drink from the tab, she avoided our table entirely. When the bill arrived, the wine was still fully charged. ​When I went to the bar to calmly explain the situation to another employee, I was met with total indifference. I was essentially told it wasn't their problem, though they generously offered a insulting 10% discount on the glass. ​This isn't about a $6 glass of wine. It's about basic human decency and food safety. I shouldn't have to argue to get a bug-infused drink taken off my bill. If you value decent food, basic hygiene, and staff that actually cares about their customers, skip this place.

This is a hidden gem!!! Wish we had stopped in years ago. The customer service is about the best I…read morehave seen for the area and the food was good. Personally I wish the burger patties had more flavor to them but some salt and pepper makes them ok. I love shredded lettuce and diced onions which are rare to find these days so it makes up for a lack of seasoning on the patties to me. My husband had the pork tenderloin and also enjoyed his food. We will be back

Waitress does not deliver food, just takes orders...Also, they don't put napkins under cold drinks so the condensation water is all over table...didn't ask if we wanted anything like dessert or more drinks, she just plopped down receipt before we were down eating sandwiches and ran off.

Lisa's is located next to Rocher Pub but she was running a fish buffet that night so we chose it. If you enter from the front off Market Street that's the bar but there's a door marked restaurant inside. If you come in the back where there's a parking lot it's the restaurant. There was no wait at 5:30. Little later there was & even though the seat yourself sign was out, they were helping people find tables. I had the fish buffet. It's only offered the second Friday of the month. About half the customers were eating it. There was fried catfish & cod, a baked fish, popcorn shrimp, stewed tomatoes, Mac & chz, hush puppies, fried potatoes, frog legs & onion rings on the hot bar. Salads were in bowls atop ice; potato salad, coleslaw. Cocktail & tarter sauces in premade cups. Bread & onion slices offered. Dessert was 2 homemade cakes in aluminum 13x9's; Orange jello poke and a spice cake. My husband had the fried chicken. It's fresh cooked so it takes awhile - I was pretty well done with mine when his arrived. He got the 4 piece & I sampled it with some crispy onion rings from the buffet. Mmmm. I saw people drinking beers so the servers can get drinks from the bar. The spice cake ran out quickly & the girl who brought a new one had no idea what kind it was. Might've been carrot but it wasn't overly spicy like some. I see why it was popular. The inside is bright & cheery, historical photos line the walls. The staff was all working hard & the only exception between service the locals got & us was that they called each other by name. If you're familiar with the advice to always eat bread with fish, you know I appreciated the white bread slices & onion. I wish I had the recipes for both those thin crispy onion rings & the potato salad. Since we had a cooler, a piece of that fried chicken ended up in my husband's lunch on Monday- still tasted great. No doubt about it, we'll be back.
