Pup's 212 Bar & Grill

Decide to walk downtown to a local tavern for lunch I like that in the middle of the restaurant is the bar If you would like a drink whether it be soda or an alcoholic beverage the cashier / waiter can see you On either side I said they are literally in the middle of the restaurant there is a cute duck claw game and several different adult lottery games There are TVs on both sides Also there are two ways to come into the building which is nice and very roomy and very spacious The attitude of the waiter was very friendly and very nice And surprised it was not crowded because it was late afternoon Saturday As far as the food only reason I gave it a four instead of five certain selections were limited Went with cheeseburger baskets the cheeseburger patty was a good size Patty very filli

First visit since new ownership. The menu is no where near as good as before. I had a fish sandwich with fries. While each was rather large, both were tasteless! The best part of the basket were the pickles!

For southern Illinois it is a top tip shape establishment. Amazing food and good pours on the drinks. This is your average dive bar mixed with an honest great kitchen. All are welcome and appreciated here. My spend per person is due to this writer drinking doubles and my woman accomplice drinking singles slowly.

Friday night karaoke was great. We tried the appetizer platter which is 5 different appetizers all of them where wonderful. We also had one of the cheese burgers that was awesome. This is just a fun friendly place with a great atmosphere and good service.

The food is GREAT here...fast service and VERY Clean!
