Country Cupboard - Carterville

The food at this place is simply amazing! You have to try the Italian beef; you won't regret it! The sides were packed with flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the desserts were delicious! My favorite part of the meal was the au jus. I savored every single bite! Definitely a five-star experience all around!

On March 14th (3.14), I visited a local restaurant based on recommendations and tried a slice of cake. It was delicious! The service was great as well.

I had an amazing breakfast here. It was quick and affordable. They serve the best cookies and coffee in town. This quaint little diner offers efficient service with a friendly smile. The American fries are fantastic and perfectly crispy. It's my favorite spot for Saturday mornings. They also have daily specials. The location at the unusual intersection of Division and 13 is easy to find.

Always a great place to go, whether with a few or many. My big family I've eaten here for many years. My grandfather went weekly and sometimes daily for many years.

Ate here late (well, close to closing time) on a Thursday night. Staff was helpful, friendly and accommodating. Food was all very tasty too. A lot of American-style home-cooked/diner type options. I had the chicken friend steak with green beans and slaw. Other adults in my party had the ham steak and Swiss steak special. All were very good. Two kids had fish sticks and corn dog, they liked those as well. Tried the homemade cherry pie. Looks like they had a lot of pies available, but by the time we ate, the only options left were no-sugar peanut butter, raisin and cherry. Running out of pies is either a very good or very bad sign...fortunately for us, it turned out it was a good sign. Cherry was the choice, and it was very, very good – tart but not too tart, and filling made from actual cherries, not canned filling. Finally, and this doesn't really have to do with the service but the attitude of the staff, my family and I paid, walked out and sat down on the bench in front to take a photo together. Our waitress followed us out and offered to take the picture for us. It might not have to do with the food service exactly, but that kind of friendliness would have me coming back even if the food was mediocre. Good for us, the food was good too!
