10. Night Moves

We enjoy going to Night Moves for several reasons. They have video gambling machines and we like to play at Night Moves early in the day when there aren't many other people there.

This place reminds me of Fast Eddies, but located in Belleville, IL. They have cheap burgers, peel and eat shrimp and very cold beer. All are at a reasonable price.

I wanted to go here to try the 'Cadilac Sandwich' which is their roast beef au jus. I had heard it was really good & on a garlic cheese bread. It was the worse sandwich I ever had. The meat was stringy & tough. The appetizer we had were the Nachos & they were OK but I've had better. The place is nice inside but I won't go back to eat there.

This is my second trip to Copper Fire Bar & Eatery. The first trip was for lunch, I had a sandwich which was very good. I have just tried them for a dinner. WOW WHAT A MISTAKE! I ordered beef wellington medium. What i received was an over-cooked piece of touch meat with burnt crust and a sauce that almost made me gag. I sent it back and order a hamburger medium, what I received was a extremely well done with a very crisp bun. My spouse ordered Maui Maui. It was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. She just did not eat it. The prices for what they serve is outrageous!We are so sorry this was your experience and hope we took care of things at the time of your visit. We are not the same place. We are a bar with good food and just changed the menu and prices. We hope you will give us another try.

This place isnt fit for a dog...they even charge $1.25 for plain water...after I told the so called waitress that I would share my wifes iced tea she gave me a dirty look and didnt even offer my wife a refill. I have been there before and wasnt impressed then and reluctaantly agreed to give it another try and was I ever disappointed and poed as well.The first time I have the hamburger which was pretty big for 99 cents but this time it was $1.89 and pathetically puny...the only consolation about this pig sty is the huge shrimp...UNLESS U ENJOY CONSESCENDING BEHAVIOR AND FOOD OVERPRICED WITH NO FLAVOR...AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Our neighborhood group went here last week. The food was excellent. The only thing that prevented me from giving them 5 stars was the waitress. She did not bring enough menus and then asked if we needed more. We said yes, but she never brought more. She never came back during our meal to see if we needed anything or even a refill on our drinks.Thank you for this great review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with us, but are concerned to hear about your problems with our service. We will absolutely make sure this does not happen again in the future. We hope to see you again soon!

The service in this restaurant was wonderful. Tia was attentive and quick with our order. The food on the other hand was not good at all. The meatloaf was terrible, brussel sprouts way over cooked, the chicken in the salad wad dry as a bone and hard to eat. Great service not great food, not even good food.

This was our first time here; we came for breakfast...and based on that we're definitely coming back for more. The Olympika has a very nice breakfast including a senior menu. I had the house waffle which came with choice of fruit topping (I chose the blueberries fresh and juicy) along with two eggs and link sausage. When my plate arrived there were three eggs on it. I found out the restaurant adds an extra egg to one's order. The waffle was absolutely perfect, very light and browned just right. It was lightly dusted with powdered sugar and smoothed in blueberries. The eggs and the sausage were equally impressive and delicious. My wife ordered the ham steak special of the day which really stole the show. It was impressively thick and covered it own dinner plate. Despite her best efforts, we ended up bringing most of the ham home. The service here is very nice: Elaine, our waitress, could not have been better at pacing our meal and ensuring our drinks were always full. Best of all, was when the bill was when the bill arrived, and we found out just how inexpensive this experience was. As stated above, we will be coming back for breakfast...and to try lunch and dinner.;

Being from out of state we entered the address of what we THOUGHT was the brewery - 4204 W. Main into our GPS. When we walked in the front door what we found was a restaurant! We noticed the couple that walked in the door just ahead of us was just as confused as we were. The restaruant host walked the couple to a pub adjoining the restaruant and we followed. It's an enclosed patio w/ open screens in front, a bar and tons of tables but has no AC. It was 90 degrees outside and it was unbearablly hot!! A few ceiling fans and one large fan in the back didn't cool it down. We walked out back to check out the beer garden and it's lovely w/ trees, picnic tables, shaded sitting areas, game area w/ cornhole and other games, a play area for kids and a small deck w/ misters. The outside bar was staffed but did not carry all their beers and did not offer flights, so we walked back inside to the stifling pub and took a seat at the empty bar. Even tho there were guests at just 2 tables, 3 staff members kept walking by us and we were ignored for over 10 min before a bartender finally showed up; saying he's covering both bars. Since the outside bar was staffed by a female, I'm guessing there is a bar inside the restaurant too. The bartender immediately left to get us a food menu even tho we didn't ask for food, it's apparent they push their food. Due to the oppressive heat, we had to move to a table near an open door to get a slight breeze. The friendly bartender took our beer flight order (were out of 2 beers) and shared some basic info on the beers. The beers were Ok, nothing jumped out at us altho it's all a matter of preference. Being so hot, our cold beers quicky turned warm.. yuk! We did not order any food. Our bartender shared that the restauant / original brewery was sold to new owners and they got to keep the name and serve 4204's beer. He said they have a great relationship with the brewery. I'm thinking if they had such a great relationship, there would be a sign out front stating this is NOT the real brewery anymore and would list the real brewery's address - 6435 W. Main Street, a short distance down the street. And if they really want to promote 4204's beers, their pub would have a/c in summer to proivde a comfortable drinking experience. Overall it was dissapointing experience. Just want a 4204 brew? Go to the brewery new instead.

Don't leave - it's worth the wait.No disappoints for our party of 6. We started with the Smoked Salmon Flatbread. Absolutely yummy. Several of us had the fish tacos. The tuna taco had a great flavor profile. Cod Taco was great and the Basil Pesto Gnocchi was delicious. I would return in a heart beat - heard the three cheese tater tots are awesome/Waitstaff was friendly and the food was all served together.
