Arrived with plenty of parking on the street. Neat little storefront with lots of options. Probably even more if you can arrive early. My preferred donuts were out so I went with a cherry danish and a cinnamon roll to take home for Sunday. The Danish is large enough for two people but good enough you may not want to share. Tried the cinnamon roll after church the next day. Only ate half because they too are large! Both were delicious. Definitely worth the stop!! Not far off the interstate so worth a short detour!

I've been once and I already know I'll be back for more…read more My first visit was just for ice cream (dessert), I had already eaten at another restaurant in town. While I waited for my concrete with M & M's, I noticed all the good looking burgers being consumed on the patio. Some had fries and they were crinkle, which is my favorite style. Others had onion rings, which were from a bag and that's okay when you're a little drive-in style restaurant. I'm coming back for a double cheeseburger and fries. I didn't pay attention if there's an inside dining room, when I arrived everyone was on the front patio. I had the intentions of getting a twist cone of vanilla and chocolate, but when I went to order, a small concrete with M & M's came out of my mouth. Typically I ask if they use mini or regular candies, but today I forgot to ask. The reason I ask is, size does matter. Especially with M & M's in a concrete. Regular sized blend better and add more flavor. To my delight, they did use regular sized and I'm going to say something, that I rarely say. My concrete had too many M & M's. The deeper I ate into my concrete, the candies became thicker with each bite. Yes, it was delightful, but in this case less could have been better. The staff were young, professional and friendly. Customers order at one window and pick-up at the next. They call out what your order was and a few times they called out a persons name. I'm assuming they are regulars, or being a small town, everyone knows each other. Watch for an update, about my burger and fries.

Color me surprised, I really didn't think Twistee Treat Diner would be as good as it was. With it…read morebeing such a tourist trap, I really was expecting the food to be mediocre at best. Instead, it was a very enjoyable breakfast. I ordered, The Livy which was, one egg, choice of protein, hash browns and toast. I choose bacon as my protein. Their menu proudly promotes that the bacon and sausage is from local farmers. Trust me when I tell you, the bacon was very delectable. It could have been crisper, but the flavor made up for the lack of crispiness. I choose not to take the toast with my breakfast entree, because I also ordered a half size of Biscuits and Gravy. The biscuit was not made it house, its shape was too perfect. However, the gravy with chunks of locally sourced sausage made it a true comfort dish. The gravy was a semi-thick milk gravy and it wasn't overly seasoned with salt and had the right amount of pepper. Trying to watch my sodium intake, I like it when chefs are light handed when shaking the salt into a recipe. The atmosphere is like stepping back into the 50's. You truly will feel as if you left the sock hop and stopped by the local soda shop for a bite. I'll give you a heads up, the outside is junky with a lot of weird stuff. Ignore the decor on the outside and head straight into the diner for a good home cooked meal. The service was impressive. One waitress was taking care of the entire small dining room. I over heard her tell another table, that she was relatively new. Being new, she did a great job. She was attentive and very personable. Her service alone would get me to come back.

I am sure we will be back over the years to try other things. The young lady working the window was a delight, bright, friendly and a good ambassador for the place.

We were in the mood for their delicious salad bar and pizza, drove 25 minutes and arrived at 7:22 PM. The door was locked and the people inside seemed to be cleaning up. Sadly, this is not the first time that they are ignoring their posted hours. Went to a competitor pizza place and you couldn't find a place to sit! We love supporting small business, but to us, management needs to take a look in the mirror regarding how they operate. Not sure we are going to give this place a fourth chance to close prematurely!

The food is pretty decent overall, with a few highlights and a couple of things that could use some tweaking. First off, the boba is okay, though one thing to note is that the tapioca pearls tend to get a little slimy if not stirred frequently, so keep that in mind. The seafood ramen was a cool dish, but the noodles could have been cooked a bit more to elevate the texture. The sushi was definitely a standout--filling and tasty. The cucumber roll was spot-on, but the salmon roll didn't quite match what I expected. It wasn't bad, just different in a way that threw me off a little. The vibe, though, is where this place really shines. If you're into anime, you'll definitely feel at home with the themed decor and atmosphere. It gives off a fun and lively energy, even if the restaurant still carries some of its IHOP roots in its outdated interior. Honestly, the old IHOP design is a bit noticeable, but it somehow adds to the charm and doesn't detract from the overall experience. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff was wonderful--friendly, welcoming, and personal, making the entire dining experience feel much more special. They were attentive and made sure you felt taken care of throughout your visit. Overall, I'd give it a solid 4.5/5. Not perfect, but definitely a great spot, especially for the Alton area. It has a lot of potential and is a fun place to check out, especially if you're a fan of anime or looking for a unique dining experience. EDIT: Just finished the Bento Box Chicken Teriyaki, and honestly, it was the best bento box I've ever had! The chicken was cooked perfectly, with just the right balance of flavors and a generous amount of teriyaki glaze. The rice was on point, cooked to perfection--fluffy and full of flavor. And the sushi? Super delicious! It paired so well with everything, making the whole meal a delightful experience. Highly recommend this bento box if you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal! Updated rating: 4.7/5

The drinks were made pretty fast. They are bit too sweet for me as I do enjoy the bold flavour of the coffee more than flavour shots/syrups. I did enjoy this visit in particular because of how warm and welcoming the staff was. They were very kind to explain to us the flavour profiles of their drinks, and they even suggested certain areas of the shop for me to take pictures of. Overall, I would come back to try their other drinks and hopefully they can make it less sweet for me.
