Time Out Lounge

Fun dive in downtown alton, cheap drinks, funny crowd, and you can bet any horse track across the country...nothing better then a drunk degenerate...you wont hate this place

Even though the service for food took way, way too long, I'd go back for a drink. I like the bar but as far as food, just okay and plan on spending a lot of time chasing down your server for food, condiments and drinks.

Okay, an update.  Last night was the first time we have been to Mac's and not been happy.  I ordered the lobster bisque soup when we arrived at 6pm...was informed they were out.  Okay, instead, I ordered the tenderloin and grilled shrimp special and I didn't have very high hopes since it was only $12-ish.  The steak was decent (small, maybe 5oz) and the baked potato was yummy (you put enough ranch dressing on any baked potato and it'll be ahhhmaaaazing) but the three shrimp on a skewer were ROCK HARD.  I could barely get them off the skewer, ate one and left the others on the plate as they were entirely too dry/well done for my liking.  My hubby ordered one of the new gourmet burgers with home-made potato chips and he said his greek burger was entirely flavorless.  It was a burger with gyro meat and sauce on it.  He ate the pieces individually and said it was a little bit better, but nothing to write home about.  The homemade potato chips were dripping with grease.  

Next time, I'll stick with my usual ceaser salad.  :-)
