Grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing
Nicole S.

I LOVE TUBBY'S!! This casual neighborhood staple checks all the boxes every single visit. There are plenty of tables and a few seats at the bar--and once inside you'd never know you were inside of a bowling alley. All of the food I've tried has been better than most "bar food" type places. This visit I got the grilled chicken salad and it was spectacular. The service is always amazing too. Definitely give it a try!

Not your average restaurant in a bowling alley! Their food is seriously awesome. I've never seen faster service either. Would highly recommend checking this place out. Their prices are unbeatable for what you're getting!

Tubby Burger and Fries
Michelle L.

Not sure how long this establishment has been open but it's located inside Plaza Lanes Bowling Alley which has been open since the 1970's. The bowling ally is clean , bright and updated and had 24 lanes , a pro shop and Tubby's has a full bar.The service was fantastic and the ambiance was great.They have a varied menu and Steaks and pizza are some of their specialties. I had the Tubby burger and it was fantastic, I/2 pound seasoned perfectly and cooked just how o wanted, topped with American cheese, pickles and onions served with tubby fries( thin cut on sight). Definitely worth the visit.

The Midwestern - Deviled Eggs

4.5(17 reviews)
1.5 mi•St Charles

The deviled eggs lured me in! As you can probably already guess, I had them as an appetizer, and…read morethey were delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the walleye with Brussels sprouts and corn. This was actually my first time hearing of and trying walleye, and I have to be honest--the taste just wasn't for me. It had an off-putting flavor that I couldn't stomach, and paired with the bones, I was done. Let me be clear though, this wasn't a chef mistake or an issue with how the fish was prepared. I simply didn't like the taste. The dish itself looked amazing. When our waitress noticed I had only eaten a small piece of the fish, she asked if I'd like to try something else. I decided to go with a burger instead, and it was pretty decent. No complaints there. Overall, I'd definitely go back for more of those deviled eggs and to try some other items on the menu. Nice ambiance, friendly staff, and great customer service. Definitely worth another visit.

We sat at the bar and had a couple of beers and ordered the kettle chips and dip. The beers were good and cold. The chips were not good at all. They were gold and not made fresh. The bartender was good and checked back on us regularly. But after one drink and the appetizer, we decided to try another place.

We made a reservation for dinner at Tony's on Main, and we were glad we did because we were on a…read more45-minute wait when we arrived. Since our table wasn't ready, we decided to grab a drink at the bar. The Una Vida Margarita was absolutely perfect, made just to my liking. Shortly after we got our drinks, our table was ready, so we quickly moved to our seats. We started with the Scallops Scampi, which was a delightful combination of light breading and tender scallops. The rolls and butter were incredibly addictive. The Caesar salad was generously topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and had a creamy dressing. For my main course, I opted for the lobster combo, which included a 6-ounce filet, lobster tail, and three shrimp scampi. Why settle for just one when you can have them all? The filet was cooked to perfection and accompanied by a generous scoop of Tony's signature steak butter, which was simply delicious. The lobster tail was equally impressive, whether enjoyed on its own or with a squeeze of lemon and the butter draw they offer. The shrimp scampi had the same breading as the scallops and was just as tasty. Throughout our meal, we couldn't resist trying a few Una Vida shots. As always, they hit the spot perfectly. The server was fantastic and attentive, making sure to keep us well-catered to. He even joined in on our laughter throughout the evening. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience. It was our first time dining at Tony's on Main for dinner, and we're already planning our next visit.

The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating for those dining in. This is one of the only truly authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I got one each of the asada and pastor tacos, they were fabulous. They come with plenty of onion and cilantro on top, as well as an almost creamy salsa. Zero complaints. I gave the shrimp ceviche a try as well--the flavor was on point, however the avocado had seen better days. The shrimp was still a little gray as well. It was a very generous portion though, for one tostada--definitely not complaining! ;) I'm excited to eat my way through this menu--so, so happy to see more authentic cuisines in the Saint Charles area.

The food in here is AMAZING and this is the first AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant I have ever seen…read morethis side of the river. We're so happy they are here! There are several tables on both the grocery store side & restaurant side of the space and while it's "no frills," it's fine for what it is. Bright with a large menu and a case of ice cream flavors from pistachio, to strawberry, to queso ice cream and Mexican popsicles and other sweet & salty goodies! They also have a small selection of refrigerated items such as chorizo (mild & spicy), fresh corn tortillas, tomatillos, and jalapeños. And some shelves of dry goods and religious candles. The star of my dinner was the shrimp ceviche. It was served on a thick tostada that held up to the last bite. The generous portion was bursting with flavors of shrimp, citrus, cilantro & onion and a creaminess from the addition of a little mayo. It was super delish. I'll get this every time. The street tacos were also some of the best I've had (Al pastor & carne asada) and absolutely brimming with the filling. Simple and perfect with the accompanying salsa verde. I can see becoming a regular here. It's a great sign when the vast majority of customers are speaking Spanish. :) Authentic. We wish them much success and welcome to the neighborhood!

Still writing this review while I'm sitting at the table because the food is that good…read more I honestly did not expect a place with such a fun, college-bar atmosphere to have food this incredible--especially on a packed Saturday night. Let's start with what completely blew me away: the dessert. I'm not even a dessert person, but the toffee cake with ice cream was hands down the best restaurant dessert I've ever had. Absolutely unbelievable. I could've eaten three more. I already can't wait to come back, and honestly, I'd come back just for that dessert. Our sever asked us if we wanted to lick the plate LOL. By the way she was great. Now, the wings. The 5-wing basket with waffle fries is one of the best values I've seen in a long time. The Buffalo wings were fantastic, perfectly cooked with great flavor. The wrap was also excellent--it comes pressed like a panini, which takes it to another level. And those waffle fries... get the Memphis seasoning. The rub is ridiculously good. You can even get that same seasoning on the wings, and it's a game changer. Between the food, portions, prices, and atmosphere, this place absolutely exceeded every expectation I had. I came in expecting a good sports bar and left wondering how this isn't one of the most talked-about spots around. I'll definitely be back.
