Friday's South Grill Collinsville

Enjoy your drink outdoors while taking in the surroundings! Fido is welcome, too. It would be a great addition to have outdoor service!

I want to start off by saying that our waiter was so nice and kind, he took good care of us and made sure we had drinks. That 's why I 'm giving Service five stars. But sadly, that 's the only nice thing I have to say. I ordered the cod and shrimp with mac and cheese and fries as my two sides. My first red flag was that the mac and cheese was some kind of Velveeta mac and cheese from the box, except it was worse than the Velveeta brand. Unflavorful and gross. The cod was absolutely dreadful. It was soaked in grease and so overcooked and chewy that my jaw actually really hurts from having to chew it so much so that I didn 't choke on it. The shrimp was also loaded with grease but at least it wasn 't overcooked like the cod. The fries were nothing to write home about. I also saw a lot of people vaping inside despite there being signs inside that said No Vaping . I had such high hopes for this place. I really did. I hope the wait staff realizes that they were excellent, but the cooks could definitely use a LOT of improvement.

I absolutely love how spotless everything is! They also offer special ordering and provide excellent recommendations. I'm looking forward to enjoying my leftovers and returning soon!

The service is excellent, and the food is consistently served hot and on time.

The absolute best fried fish around. They also have the best pizza on the illinois side of the river. And great prices. And the service is always friendly.
