Eckerts Country Restaurant - Belleville (IL)

5 /5 Elle D: This is a fun place to visit! I ordered the mac and cheese with pulled pork and jalapeño chips (it had a bit of a kick to it), which I really enjoyed. The sweet apple cider was also crisp and refreshing. The restaurant has a very homey feel to it, and the service was good. After, I browsed their grocery store and they offer plenty of local products. Before leaving, I stopped at their donuts and custard window and tried the cider donut—a must try, especially this fall season!

5 /5 amanda walker: Wow, that was delicous! We had a great date night. Got to enjoy live music and the store. Then popped over for dinner. We had the chicken N waffles, and pot pie. The oakra was hot and crisp, the strawberry salad was perfectly tossed. Our server Faith was kind, funny, and very informed. Next time you in the area, stop in and ask for Faith you wont regret it!

5 /5 T.W. Jackson: This place was great fun. Service was super friendly, food was delicious, and atmosphere was festive. Cant wait to bring my family here.

3 /5 Yemi N: We came here before going to pick peaches and blackberries. The food was very underwhelming and for me and my partner - both of our meals came out room temperature/borderline cold. The whole experience was average. We were missing syrup and butter for pancakes, little things like jam for biscuits - and our server never really came back around so it was not a great experience. It did not appear very busy so I am unsure if this was an isolated experience but I wouldn’t go again.

5 /5 Stevi Rose: This place is more than a restaurant. It’s a whole orchard. I stopped through on a roadtrip, and what I stumbled upon was nothing short of amazing. The donuts and custard are delicious. There is a sound stage with plenty of outdoor seating, outdoor games, a cider house, and a country store. I left with some cool glassware and a 4 pack of apple blackberry cider. The staff in the cider house were friendly, helpful, and outgoing. My only regret is not grabbing a bottle of fruit wine, but I’ll stop through on another trip.
