We went for Alton restaurant week last night. The restaurant was very generous with their deal for restaurant week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pierogies, the basin Burger, their delicious wide and thin french fries, the Kentucky cream ale, and the ginger cheesecake with peaches. It's...a really pleasant environment there.More

I can't recommend this place enough for the fresh food. I don't know why it took me so long to discover it. It's located in the newly remodeled Best Western. A group of girlfriends went for lunch and we ordered a variety of foods. Everyone...enjoyed their selections. I had the Pierogies and a wood-fired mushroom pizza. Our waitress was friendly and talkative. I told her that I had pierogies in Poland and that the ones at Great Rivers compared very well. She told me the chef was from Poland and that he took great pains to make everything fresh and in house. She bragged on his skills and rightfully so. She was also excellent at her job and made us feel welcome. We already have our next visit planned!More

The Great Rivers Tap is a restaurant tucked away in the newly remodeled Premier Hotel in Alton. When asked to meet some family members there for dinner I admittedly wrinkled my nose and was reluctant. After dining there I was disappointed in myself for prejudging...a place before I tried it. The food was great and the service was friendly. The wild mushroom pizza , salad and sandwiches were on point. The atmosphere is super relaxing. It is obvious the owners and staff have a passion for what they do. Don’t pass this one by. It is worthy of your dining dollar and support.More

We tried Great Rivers Tap & Grill because they were participating in All Star Restaurant Week. We ended up having the wood fired pizza, which was delicious. We plan on returning because of the outstanding service and great food. I highly recommend.

My wife and I visited for the first time during Alton Restaurant Week. For the 2 for $25 Restaurant Week special we picked 2 12" Pizzas of our choosing and the potato & cheddar pierogis appetizer, both of which were heartily endorsed by our waitress...Cindy. Also included in the special were any beverages of our choice. Cindy, who couldn't have been more friendly, did not steer us wrong! The thin crust used for the pizzas is handmade every day from scratch by the chef, as are all of the breads, as I recall Cindy saying, They were delicious. I had the Mushroom special, and my wife, being a vegetarian had a delicious DIY pizza with all veggies. And the pierogis appetizer was excellent. We will go back again, and will not mind paying their regular, reasonable prices.More

My husband and I were staying at the hotel on a cold December night, so we were happy to see the restaurant so highly rated. We were not disappointed. My husband loves pizza and thought this was better than most specialty pizza restaurants. The soup...had plenty of chicken.More

This was our first visit and won't be our last. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The chef apparently Makes his own bread, hamburger buns, and pizza crust. Delicious! We had Homemade Pierogi, which is a Polish food not sold near here. The servings were...big, the presentation was nice, and the food was Very tasty! The restaurant is inside the Best Western in Alton,IL.More
