1. Josephine's Tea Room & Gifts
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 152 reviews
Reviewed By JMCSTL - Saint Louis, Missouri
My wife & her sisters & her social group have all been visiting Josephine's for many years as their "Girls Day Out" spot. A few years back my brother-in-law & I started joining our wives for an occasional weekend lunch, and we have never been disappointed with the friendly & attentive service nor the flavor & quality & freshness of the food. The core menu has remained the same, but they introduce seasonal changes in their soups & other side dishes to keep the menu fresh.
The only things that keep me from rating Josephine's as a "5" are the long waiting times for a table (reservations are HIGHLY recommended but later times may still involve a wait) and the very tight seating spaces (4-top tables often have to be twisted & scooted to allow patrons at adjacent tables to get in and out of their chairs). The wait times play right into Josephine's other business on site, the extensive gift shop, but even the most avid shopper eventually gets hungry. As for the tight spaces around the tables, they tend to detract from the dining experience. But as long as you don't have "personal space" issues, the service & the food will make your meal at Josephine's one you'll want to repeat.

We have enjoyed the lunches here for years. When we visit Alton a trip to My Just Desserts is always on the schedule. The pies are epic, delicious, and responsible for several of my overweight pounds. Highly recommend everyone visit and indulge in the experience.
3. Dairy Queen
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 4 reviews
Reviewed By AnnArborMiBob - Ann Arbor, Michigan
On a quick trip back from central Illinois to the St. Louis airport, I spotted this Dairy Queen on the side of the road, and couldn't resist stopping to stuff a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard into myself before facing the flight home. It's hard for me to rate such an experience as less than very good, so that's what I'm marking this visit as being.
I did notice the one other review that had been made before mine that thought the food was terrible. I've had BBQ sandwiches at Dairy Queens that I thought were pretty good, but beyond that would have to warn that frozen custard is what these places do, and, yeah, beyond that the food can be pretty iffy and seems to be aimed at school kids on a budget.

5. Carver's

Reviewed By clb5169 - Alton, Illinois
This is 2nd day of restaurant week in the Alton area. I chose to go to Carver's as I hadn't been there in a long time. Their special was the large salad with a drink. I ordered the pulled pork salad & was excellent...the meat was so tender. The lettuce was crisp & I didn't see any dark spots on lettuce. The waitress was great! I would return again as a friend told me the nachos were good too.

Reviewed By Michael P - Collinsville, Illinois
We were greeted at the door, sat at a nice table and our waitress was fabulous. Very personable, and great with suggestions. We had two appetizers, buffalo dip and guac bites. The guac bites were delicious! My family also enjoyed the dip. My husband loved his spicy pasta, the portabella sandwich was ok, but the homemade chips were great. The cheesecake was delicious, however, the blonde brownie is very hard. Too hard to eat. I am sure we will be back. The menu has many choices from burgers, to Italian, and even Mexican.

We go here on a regular basis and usually go with friends and family. The servers are excellent and always make us feel at home. The prices are very reasonable. Their coffee is excellent and they keep your cup filled as much as you wish. They are very accommodating to any special needs and requests. We are grateful they're here!
8. Morrison's Irish Pub
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
Reviewed By JMCSTL - Saint Louis, Missouri
... are the only two reasons to visit Morrison's. A coworker recommended the place, saying the food was very good. Not so's you'd notice from the lunch my wife & I had there today. The interior does look like it was picked up in Ireland & plunked down in Alton, IL, with a low ceiling and lots of wood trim and wooden block tables and tight seating spaces. But beyond the decor & the beer there's not much extraordinary about the place. By far the best part of my cheddar burger was the dark brown bread roll it was served on, and my wife's Guinness-battered cod was not very good. Maybe we could have chosen more wisely from the menu, but if you're not drinking you probably don't belong at Morrison's.

10. The Old Bakery Beer Company
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By cationista - Illinois
The Old Bakery Beer Company is located in the old Colonial Bakery. It is concrete and steel with retro pieces used nicely to compliment the restaurant. The server was polite, but not with many suggestions/ enthusiasm. I got the bacon jam burger with the kale pasta. The burger was good, but on the "smallish" side. The kale pasta was a little wilted and soft, probably a day or two old...not very good. The biggest disappointment was when my Moscow Mule came in a glass! I thought they all come in copper mugs. It tasted okay, but come on...presentation! Maybe better to stick with the beers.
