St. Nicholas Brewing Co. MDH

We found this restaurant right here on Google maps!! This place is a must stop, even if you aren't in the area. Yes, it's that good! The menu items are all so unique, it's hard to choose. Everything was delicious. I suggest getting anything with the cheese 🧀 sauce on it. It is amazing. I also recommend the $100 burger. It's in the top 5 burgers I've ever had! Keep up the great work!

If you're in the area, be sure to grab weekend reservations to this hidden gem (they are also open during the week, but I recommend reservations on a Saturday). The food is top notch, service is fantastic. Craft beers are brewed on site.

Awesome place! Beautiful atmosphere inside and if the weather is nice you can sit outside and watch the planes. We started with a sampler of elote, queso, guacamole and salsa. While it all was good the elote was the star of the dish. I'm usually not a big fan of it but my goodness it was delicious! Both had burgers that were tasty and split deluxe sides of loaded fries and the queso Mac n cheese. Both were fantastic. Great drinks as well and our server Kalie I believe was her name was absolute perfection!! We will definitely be back often. Everything was so good I forgot to take pictures.

Had our annual Christmas party here and I'm so happy we did! I've been several times for lunch and loved the food and the vibes. Our server was very attentive, kept the drinks coming and had our orders out in great time with everything in perfect order. Between all of us we tried nearly everything on the menu and had zero complaints or suggestions to change anything.

Yep, this place absolutely kills it in every single regard. Airport food usually sucks and usually disappoints, but St. Nick is the only one worth your time. The restaurant is easy to find and is set back in the main airport building. The main dining room is sizeable and opens up onto the airfield for additional seating. The weather has been terrible, so I haven't tried it, but I can't wait to sit outside and watch the planes. The service is always stellar, and they absolutely fill my diet coke addiction with constant refills. Everything they serve from the burger, the breakfast sandwich, the nachos, the fries, the queso (it's Alfredo, not queso), the vinegar aioli, and the surprisingly life-affirming Mahi Mahi blows me away each time. I tried them once and ended up eating there 5-6 times in two weeks. Visiting family has also loved coming here repeatedly. I'm a fan and will always be a customer ad long as I live in the area.

Overall the food was fantastic. The marriage of flavors was just perfect. The wait for the food on the other hand was less than stellar. The food outweighed the 2 hour lunch. I went with the shrimp and grits. Flavor on flavor. My wife went with the tres tacos. My son had the poutine. My daughter had the loaded nachos with chicken. My grandson had a side of fries and bacon. I snagged a fry. They were really tasty.

I love St. Nicholas brewery's beers and cocktails a lot. And it was my first time in this location. It's nice and fashionable, no complaints. They even put fresh flowers on the table💐 They even put the bicycles on hanging from the ceiling as in Du Quoin location. But I love the atmosphere in Du Quoin one more, but it is just my personal matter of taste and preferences. The service was very attentive and of course it's very clean out there.

Went in on a Sunday around 11:30, no wait time and decent amount of seating for a small establishment. Staff were pleasant as well. Sat at a high top table, seats were surprisingly comfortable and not too high up unlike most places where I would struggle to get in my seat here I didn't have any trouble. Def recommend the Elote as an app it was really flavorful and delicious. I got the mdh all american burger and my mom got the steak frites, both came with a generous portion of fries and everything was delicious. Will be back in the future to try some items from the breakfast menu!

If you're looking for a unique dinner experience with some fun views, this is the place for you! The atmosphere is welcoming with friendly staff eager to recommend their favorites and help in any way they can. The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers!

We visited for lunch on a gloomy Saturday. I was sad it wasn't the right weather for the patio, because it looks very nice! We did not have a wait and the host was very friendly. My husband ordered the taco of the week, which was a buffalo chicken taco. I had the barria chicken tacos. Both are served with chips and salsa. We added queso, which I highly recommend. We swapped a taco so we could try both kinds. The meal was delicious and the service was great! Parking is easy, right out front. Bathrooms are very clean and so was the restaurant. We will definitely be back when we can sit outside!

We called ahead for reservations. We arrived earlier than expected and checked in with the host. Explained we were early and he said it's not a problem. Taken to our table right away. Multiple parties walked in after we sat down and were waited on in a timely fashion. We sat there with our menus for 20 minutes and were never spoken to by another staff member or server. We quietly got up and walked back out. Multiple staff members watched us leave and never inquired about the reason for our departure.

Really great brews! Incredibly enjoyable food! I wasn't expecting much in DuQuoin- but this was definitely with the trip!

Food is all pretty decent, don't order the steaks as they are quite bland. $100 Burger (just the name) had a soggy bottom bun, but was otherwise good. The service leaves much to be desired, the food takes quite awhile and drinks take quite awhile to arrive/receive refills. They forgot our appetizer, but we were able to take it off the bill, so an earnest mistake. The ambiance, however, is quite lovely featuring a beautiful location with a lovely view and a lovely interior design.

Barry and his daughter have presented a great menu and service for months since we moved here October 2024. We love the place and have high hopes for it's success! The venue and general vibe has been excellent... until recently. After SEVERAL trips out the last few months eating at the bar, we've had occasional questions on the bill (*which came out without the itemized list of charges typically included as per standard practice). When I asked the bartendress for that detail (this last time we visited), she literally accused me of being "rude" to her... after asking for an itemized bill (?) Suffice to say, this is the THIRD time we've been served by this SAME bartendress and her demeanor has been "shifty" and not at all customer oriented and actually became worse with each visit. But this last time was 100% unacceptable and we are really sad.

A friend and I went to check this place out this week. I'm not to big on chain restaurants so I thought about going to Midland Inn. They haven't got their hours straightened out since the pandemic so they were closed as usual when I can go there. I'm sorta glad they were because that made us think of this place instead. First of all, we were a little confused of where to park and go do a little more signage for a new person would be nice but we figured it out soon enough. As soon as we walked in we could smell all the goodness coming from the kitchen. The restaurant/brewery was very clean and nicely decorated. We decided to sit at the bar so we can watch the planes, takeoff and land. The bartender waiting on us was lovely and very accommodating. It was half-price margaritas on Tuesday so that's what we ordered. This is no margarita mix. The bartender uses only fresh ingredients, and the rim of the margarita is done with simple syrup and granulated salt. It was one of the most superb margaritas I've ever had. For an up charge of one dollar you could make it a flavor other than lime they had many available like strawberry spicy, mango, etc. I ordered an entrée of three tacos. It was good, but I absolutely loved the chips and salsa that came with it. I meant to ask the bartender if the salsa was housemade because it was delicious and those chips I swear I think they may have been sprinkled with crack, because they were so addictive. My friend ordered the $100 Wagyu beef burger. (Really only $24) I have to say it was the best burger I've ever had or one of the best I've had in a really long time. She said the fries she ordered with it was great too. We stayed for another margarita because they were half price (you know, girl math) and watched the planes take off for awhile after settling up the bill. We will definitely be back and be telling of our great experience there.

Pretty good food. I'm so glad they have some interesting vegetarian options. They do like to put bacon on everything tho, so gotta pay attention when I order. I haven't liked any of their beer yet but they have good bar options. Decent service, and we didn't have to wait long for our food

A great new addition to the St. Nicholas family. A different atmosphere and menu than the other locations with some delicious options and the same great beer! Friendly and accommodating staff and legit bartenders! Try the cocktails if you're not a beer drinker...you won't be disappointed. I love the cauliflower tacos and corn dip! To top it off, the patio is so fun. Come during the day and you have a front row seat to some pretty cool airport action.

It's a shame to leave a harsh review to such a unique place with good food. I've visited multiple times and each time had the same problem: the kitchen is very slow and you should be prepared to wait 40-60 minutes for your food. The servers are often kind but inattentive and openly admit the kitchen is poorly managed. Our server today was too scared of the kitchen to ask about our food after we had waited 40 minutes. The food arrived with a few mistakes, and the manager came over very apologetic about the whole thing and offered us dessert as an apology. It was a singular piece of pie for a table of 7. I enjoy the food a lot. But I can't feel comfortable recommending this place without a huge asterisk until the kitchen gets sorted out. A tip: it seems like the kitchen gets burgers out pretty quickly. If your plate has more than one cooked item, it seems that's too complex for them to manage effectively. So maybe just stick to burgers and sandwiches if you go.

St Nicholas Brewey at the SIUC airport is a fantastic restaurant. The food was excellent, service was great, and the patio is amazing. Getting to watch the airplanes take off while you eat is phenomenal. I recommend anyone with a college student to take advantage of this great venue and atmosphere.

Dirty poor service low lighting didn't have stuff that's on the menu servers were avoiding customers a shit show

I don't live in the area, but when I visit, I always stop in here to eat. Everything I've ordered to eat has been fantastic! There's a nice mix of flavors, and everything has been cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend it for those that like a mix of flavors, good beer, or a nice atmosphere.

We had a group of 30 people and 1 server. Our orders were sent it a week in advance besides our drink orders. We get the checks and she said we can only do 8 check's instead of split it by families. We paid separately at the bar and our server GOT FIRED right then and there! She was absolutely amazing! Poor girl.
