Boogie's Restaurant and Bar

been goin for years and never had a problem. waitstaff is great. food is awesome.

This place gets a bad feeling from people who expect more than a 'dive sports bar and grill'.. and I understand. I love 5 star Restaurants like Tony's, Ruth's Chris, etc, as well. But, for Maryville, IL, I love this place. The staff is pretty quick (I usually sit at the bar, bartenders tend to be the best in the place) and helpful. The kitchen is slow, but it's a dive, you're there to have a few beers, relax, and maybe watch a football game. I had the fried chicken (white) which is a Sunday Special for under $7.00, with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and a dinner roll. That's an awesome deal for any area. The chicken was good. It was missing something (salt?) in the crust, so I asked for some hot sauce on the side. This definitely was the answer, get a side of buffalo/hot sauce!

I'll definitely be back, this is a great little hole in the wall mom and pop shop, great place in Maryville to relax and have a decent meal at a decent price.

Blah!  I don't know what it is about this place but the parking lot is always full.  I kept telling my wife we needed to check it out.  Well, we did and now I'm in the dog house.  

First of all, the service is horrible and slow.  We waited for ever for the waitress to take our order.  I literally drank two beers between the time we placed our order and the time we received our food. Overall, we were here for an hour and a half but should have been in and out in less than an hour.

I had the fried shrimp dinner.  It was nothing special; your basic frozen fried shrimp with crinkle-cut fries and cottage cheese.  My wife had the horseshoe.  It looked pathetic. It was an overcooked hamburger with crinkle-cut fries with no where near enough cheese to cover the burger.

To say the least, I am very disappointed in this place.  We won't be back to give it another try since my wife won't let it go that I picked this place.
