Eckert's Country Restaurant - Restaurant in Belleville - 951 S Green Mt Rd, USA

My friend and I stopped at Eckert's after an afternoon of holiday festivities. The food was good, the service was amazing, the prices were decent and the decor was holiday festive. Everything was wonderful!

Food was very good. Fried chicken needed a little salt but the texture was perfect. Mimosas did not taste like they had any alcohol in them at all (literally just juice), but they get some points because the flavors in the cider flight had some bite and were both crisp and refreshing. Can’t complain about the service since we were the only ones there for a bit of time. Atmosphere was very relaxed and clean.

First time eating at Eckert's restaurant. The potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned just how I like them to be. The pancakes were extremely dense. It took a lot of syrup to soak into them. Not really my preference when it comes to pancakes, which is the only reason the food received a 4 out of 5. The atmosphere was ok. Same for the service. Nothing really stood out or was lacking of that matter which is why I gave it a 4 out of 5 too. Overall, I will come back to try their lunch/dinner menu on a day other than a Sunday.

Wonderful place to take the kids! Only suggestion from someone who is disabled, you need more benches! This picture taken from the only bench from the very top of the entrance by the trailer rides all the way to main entrance of the store/restaurant. There were plenty of empty spaces to add them along the fence and store walls. From someone middle aged walking with crutches, it just would have been more enjoyable being able to sit elsewhere. Then you have a lot of elderly that come that would probably like to sit while their companies can stroll the grounds & shop.

We enjoyed a yummy breakfast in the restaurant before walking around the store and checking out the Christmas trees.

The Country Restaurant is just one of many wonderful things Eckert's has to offer. My grandfather and father and myself all moved to St. Louis as young adults (3 separate moves that is) and all had a love for Eckert's that has been passed down and spread. I do not typically eat at the restaurant, but a group of friends caught their special brunch for a birthday celebration and the food was great. I am not sure if the brunch setup is year round or seasonal, but eating there for any meal/occasion is likely to be successful.

Very cool setup and great service. The food was much better than I expected. I had strawberry shrimp tacos and I would say one of the best shrimp tacos I have had in Illinois. The menu items sound weird but everyone in my party loved what they ordered. Highly recommend.

Eckert’s is one of my favorite places to eat (and shop!) when we’re in the Shiloh area. Seasonal orchard produce and cider can’t be beat, but we enjoy dining there in every season. Our favorites are fried chicken (husband) and squash soup and scone (mine). My brother-in-law loved the fried okra. Desserts are delicious!
