Macs will not disappoint. It's hard to grasp how they can consistently put out such high-quality food for such a low price. The breakfast buffet absolutely slaps. All you can eat prime rib? Endless shrimp? What more could you ask for?Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here

I have been here so many times. I love the food. Always great food. Service can be good and bad. Depends on who waits on you. My biggest complaint this time was my drinks that cost $10 each. The same bartender made me 3 drinks. Everyone of them drinks were horrible and not the same. Remember same drink should taste the exact same as the last one that you just had like this bartender did not know how to be a bartender. Look at the pics of the drinks I posted. Two different colors but it's the same drink

This is an excellent place for a great night out. A little gambling, a little drinking, watching sports on all the TV and having a great lunch or dinner. Choose From the large portioned Appetizers to the great steaks and burgers. Please wear a mask and come with your appetite. Ask for for Tracy for excellent service for all your needs. Don't forget to try the Spicy Bloody Mary with horseradish.

This is my absolute favorite spot to grab lunch and have a few drinks. It’s always a bonus when AJ is working the beer garden. He is friendly, prompt and will get whatever you need before you can even ask for it. Best bartender/server I have ever had. Clean atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food. Highly recommend trying the steak kabobs even though all the food is always great.

Well, for now, I am giving 1 star. I am coming with friends this evening for my 1st time. My plan is to have the prime rib I saw on your menu. As a personal chef and foodie, I have cooked and eaten prime rib at many restaurants throughout my home state of Missouri and along the strip in Las Vegas. So, that being said, I can't wait. I hope also you all have a good creamy horseradish sauce to go with the prime rib...

Lots of space to serve your needs from family dinning, watching the ponies or a cocktail in the bar.A unique space that gives a patio harden feel on a cold day. With a welcoming feeling of the local pub, we stopped in for some appetizers and a cocktail on a Saturday afternoon. We had the housemaid fried mushrooms which were awesome and highly recommended we would definitely order the mushrooms again & the cocktails were spot on! We would definitely make an effort to try more menu options the next time we are downtown.

Big Mac's for sure! Cool OTB on the Mississippi River with fantastic food specials, full liquor bars, and many rooms to chill in. The outdoor area was between two brick buildings with stainless steel table tops and plenty of TV to watch most sports. Fun times just watching some harness or thoroughbred across the country.

Mac's is the first place I think of when I'm craving a good burger. Their $8 build-your-own burger deal (which comes with fries) is my go-to every time.Their waiters are typically on point with service, and it hasn't ever taken too long for the food to come out.Their biergarten is well lit and very cozy, and the plants help maintain its outdoor feel during these colder months when they seal it up for warmth. When it's warm outside, they open the place up for fresh air to come through. Either way, it's always comfortable.I highly recommend checking this place out, it's one of my favorite spots to get a bite to eat with friends.

Waitress very friendly, clean, live music when we were there. Celebrating my cousin and sister's birthday. Steaks were great!! Food was good... Ribeye and T bone, sweet potatoe fries were good, baked potatoe was good. Salad was a lil different.... Not use to the cheese color... In Texas it's a darker color... But it's all good... When I visit again, will definitely return to eat...

Enjoyed this place very much. I had white fish, a baked potato and coleslaw which was very good! My friend had a salad with chicken and it looked very tasty.

I payed for salads I never received. When management got involved we were told out loud for the entire restaurant to hear “we weren’t getting half off our bill” I explained to the manager that we never received our salads and we weren’t going to pay for something we never received. All this happened right while the owner sat back and watched. We won’t be back

Ribs are usually good and the meat falls off the bone but tonight I don't know if there was a different cook but the order I got tonight was terrible. Taste like I was chewing on rubber. Totally disappointed.

If you’re local, you can understand my gripe. If you’re visiting, you will now understand all of our gripe(s). The owner drives around in an extremely expensive car, and I can only image their house. Upgrade. The. Restrooms.Having ties to this industry, I’m quite sure that they have more than enough money to make this happen. The restrooms for both men and women are absolutely horrendous.When I use the restroom, it almost feels like slumlord vibes.Most of their employees? Good and bad. Food? Delicious. Amenities? Whew, Lord.

I just wanted to pop in here and say that me and my man have been coming up here a lot lately… and the service here has been better than almost anywhere in Alton/Godfrey. My beer is full all the time the food is always amazing. Aj specifically has been one of the best most attentive bartenders I’ve seen in a long time.Wheelchair accessibility: Almost everywhere in the main environment is ramps
