They sell it separate in a bag. Service was so nice, they had a sweet younger woman working the register and she's just great! So great they have chicken strips too for the fish haters out there like my partner. I got the cod sandwich and it was a great deal for 10$! Great fish. We'll be back for sure!! Highly recommend to get your fish fry fix! So glad we have this place in Alton.

Sometimes I am a good Catholic boy and remember to eat fish on Friday during Lent. Today was one of…read morethose days and Fish Haven made me glad that I did. I am shocked that I am giving a fish stand 5 Stars, but it was seriously that good. I ordered the Catfish Nuggets Dinner. It came with Hush Puppies and for my two sides, I chose Fries and Cole Slaw. The dinner also came with, a choice of bread (white, wheat or rye), sliced white onion and dill pickle chips. Fish Haven is a small blue trailer in a parking lot for Riverside Saloon. It's only open on Fridays and everything is done to order. While I waited for my order, I saw a sign saying you could buy their breading and that it was available in stores. Once I tasted it, I could see why you'd want to buy it. My nuggets had a nice crisp coating and the seasoning in the breading was full of flavor. The Hush Puppies had chopped jalapeños, which made them the best Hush Puppies I have ever had. The fries were seasoned and still had the skins on and that's a plus for me. My Cole Slaw was creamy and runny, but the had decent flavor. Other sides offered were, potato salad and baked beans. It's a trailer, so you order at a window and wait outside for your order to be complete. If you want to eat there, they do have two picnic tables to sit and eat. They make paying easy by accepting cash and card. The staff I dealt with was friendly This may be my go to for Friday fish all the way through Lent. Plus, I'm getting me some of their breading to use at home. I bet it will be great of pork chops. When: February 20, 2026 Why: Friday Fish Fry

You order at the counter, if you need a beverage you select it from a cooler. Once you order, you select your seat at one of the many vintage table and chairs in the fairly large dining room. When your food is ready, they'll bring it out to you. Hope you're hungry, because you'll be amazed at the healthy portions. They're just like how your grandma would have filled your plate. There's a variety of different daily specials, or you can order from the standard menu. My recent visit, I went with the Homestyle Meatloaf with a side of Green Beans and a second side of, Mashed Potatoes with Brown Gravy. Yum! Potatoes were roughly smashed with skins on, making it obvious that they were made from scratch. The green beans could have had some more black pepper, but that's on me. I'm a black pepper, junkie. It's my favorite spice. The ambiance is eclectic and the fresh cut flowers on the tables are a nice touch. I hate fake flowers on a dining table, it's tacky in my opinion. If you're craving a home cooked meal head on over to, Food A Fare. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Oh, I forgot to mention, the husband and wife team are super personable and friendly.

I wanted a new experience for lunch, so I ventured out to Bunker Hill to see what I could find. I remembered Sage House from when I ate at a restaurant across the street, so I went to see what they had to offer. It was your typical bar/diner grub and a good selection of pizzas. Being a fan of chicken wings, I ordered 6 pieces with a side of tater tots. I liked that they offered both breaded and naked wings. I choose naked and bourbon as my sauce. I'm a stickler for my drums and flats being the same number and SH made me happy. The wings were meaty and juicy and the sauce was sweet and flavorful. There was a lot of sauce, so I am glad the waitress placed a full container of napkins next to me. The tater tots were good and crispy. No need for ketchup, I rolled mine around in the bourbon sauce under my wings. The service was hospitable. My server and another employee checked with me frequently as I enjoyed my wings, tots and draft beer. They had a full bar, but I went with one of the beer offerings. If you ordered a mixed cocktail, I'd make it a simple one. I didn't get the feeling they specialized in classic or fancy cocktails. I ended up chatting with the other customer while he waited for his carry-out. I guess his earlier statement/question, was his ice breaker. I now know more about him, than I really need to know.

We asked if they could handle our size of party before coming in and they said yes.

We understand there was a party next door but we were completely forgot about multiple times during our visit. First time coming and last time coming.

I choose to sit at the bar in the room that did not have the open garage doors. The owners are the same as, The Regal Beagle in Godfrey. With that ownership at the helm, you know your bar grub is going to be good. They have a variety of Daily Specials, or you can order from the regular menu. I visited on a Friday and took advantage of the 8 oz Filet Special. It came with a side salad and 1 side. I choose Blue Cheese Dressing and Crinkle Fries as my side. The filet was super tender and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. Only negative thing, I thought the dressing was thin and had no flavor for a Bleu Cheese. Service was just okay, the server/bartender took awhile to get to me and her check ins were sporadic. When I had an interchange with her, she was friendly and good. She just seemed to focus on other guests that she knew, better then myself being a first timer. Location is out of the way for me, but for those who live out in the boondocks, it is a great pub. Glad I experienced it and I just may be back for a burger or wings.

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.

It fits into the town well, it is well kept, but doesn't really stand out. I almost drove by, but the GPS saved us. You see the outdoor seating structure before you realize it is actually the restuarant. I am sure the local know exactly what and where it is. I had a cheeseburger with fries, and my wife got a corn dog and onion rings. The food came out pretty quickly, we sat inside to eat. All of the dishes were made correctly, not special, but certainly fresh. We also got soft serve cones, chocolate and vanilla. Very reasonable pricing on everything. The two young ladies working today were pleasant and welcoming. They work hard and know everyone (except for us, until today). I suspect we will be back over the years, we are just one town over.
