Main Street Grille - East Alton

Place has a local tavern feel to it. Came here unexpectedly after finding out the Caribbean place next door was closed. For a Friday evening we were lucky able to snag the last unreserved table. Overlooking the menu I really didn't have much of an interest in pub food and decided to go with a small Honolulu Pizza. The pesto sauce and majority of the toppings is what caught my interest so gave it a shot. My grandfather enjoyed his salad. He ordered the fish and chips and was disappointed that it was more of a seafood platter with french fries, onion rings, fried shrimp and two ball looking pieces of fish. I had some of his fries and they were good. I was disappointed that I didn't get a larger pizza. It was quite delicious and exceeded my expectations. The jerk peppers were phenomenal for never having them before. Crust was foldable and had a crisp bite to it too. Would order this again! Red Head was the live music performing tonight. They kicked off at 6:30, they also blew out my facing ear twice getting tuned up. They draw an older crowd which means to me quality music. Didn't get to listen to much but enjoyed what I heard. Would agree with another yelper that for a small space it was quite loud. If there was windows that opened up that would help, probably catch a few people outside and draw them in. Overall walking out of here with enjoyment. Would have liked to see the staff smile a bit more, maybe next time.

Love their menu and have been satisfied with everything I've ordered. Service has never been an issue, especially when I was called away for an abrupt exit. My first visit was on the patio. From thereafter, I've gone inside, which is simply my personal preference.

We have ordered take out several times and the food is always very tasty! Our favorites are the pretzels with beer cheese dip, boneless wings for appetizers. We love the short rib sliders, prime rib sandwich with au jus and the short rib pepperdale. Hidden gem for sure!

I ordered a basic fish and chips dinner. It arrived basically inedible. The fish was so overcooked, that the fish disintegrated inside the batter, and what was still there was hard. The fries were super soggy. The best part of the whole dinner was the soup. Such a waste of money on a simple to make meal.

Had the best margaritas ever! my sig other isn't crazy about margaritas but loved them They had a flight of 3 for $25 Good size and delicious
