Dizzy Deans Sports - Bartonville

My buddy Darryl and I visited here for the first time today for lunch. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we went in and when we left. The business sets back off the main drag through town and isn't easy to even know it's there unless you live in the area. It's kind of like at the end of a strip mall, but it's a long large building. The inside had a huge bar and the usual bar grill stuff like pool table, darts, bags, etc. One large floor that gives people plenty of elbow room for a large crowd. I was really mystified as to why we were the only people there and had a thought of just turning around and leaving, but the young lady that greeted us had a very personable personality and made us feel welcome. Her name was Breanna and very likable. We were seated and our drink order was taken and our menu was handed to us. I was surprised at how much they had to offer. We decided on the jalapeno poppers as an appetizer. They were outstanding by the way. We both loved them. Darryl had the jalapeno burger with fries and I had the 1/2 tenderloin sandwich and fries. Darryl raved about his burger and fries, not to mention the poppers. I found my sandwich to be just the right size and most of all the meat was thick and delectable. They sure don't skimp on the meat and quality one bit. We both loved the fresh french fries that are reminiscent of Big Johns fries from the old days of Johns BBQ. They were terrific. Best tenderloin I've had in a long time and their prices are reasonable as far as I'm concerned. The fries come extra, but only cost a buck. Can't beat that at all. They also sell Pepsi products and that is a huge plus for Darryl and his thirst for Mountain Dew. We will finally be back for some more grub soon God willing. I can't say enough good things with regard to our waitress Breanna and her personality. The best of luck to the business and the employees. Keep up the good work.

We were dining in waited quite a bit of time to be waited on. I was not brought what I ordered .. given tenderloin sandwich instead of nightly special of smothered tenderloin strips. Worst tenderloin I 've ever had ... paper thin breaded in what tasted like fish breading. Ordered boneless wings as a replacement meal again waited forever. About ready to leave was finally brought chicken strips was told the cook forgot about the order had to be reminded. Also had to go to bar to get own soda refills. All this after we had a bad experience a few weeks ago decided to give the kitchen one more chance. No more chances ... sorry Dizzys, it 's a shame the restaurant side of business has gone downhill these last several months.

Ordered a beer then food waited 25min for food to show up only after Asking for it. Burger was not cooked all the way through everything was not up to temp due to sitting in the window for who knows how long. After explaining to the bar tender the situation she spoke to the owner (Greg Dean) drinking at the other end of the bar not a darn thing was done. Bar tender was sorry even gentleman next to us offered to buy us a shot but we turned down. Thank you to him! We were giving it another shot but we will NOT make that mistake again.
