White House Tavern

Absolutely loved the brisket sandwich. Had the baked beans and seasoned potatoes for my sides both were delicious. Definitely will be going back. Our waitress Bailey was awesome. The only issue...They do not take debit cards. They do have an ATM with a 3.00 fee. Wish we would have known to bring cash before going...

Had the Pulled Pork Dinner, fries and baked beans. So very good. We brought in a table full of family- Waitress/ Server was polite and food was out fast. No complaints, will definitely be back.

2pm Sunday afternoon out of chicken and ribs and ribs are the special of the day. Asked for mac and cheese, pretty sure it was kraft mac and cheese that I waited the extra time for it to be cooked in the microwave. Brisket was very good. Neither waitress could crack a smile, the older one was almost rude.

The ribs are wonderful, the baked potato is huge & they even have potato soup small or large bowls. They offer other items also that I haven't tried yet.

If you are looking for a great BBQ, brisket, or ribs this is your place. We always get food to go as well. Friendly staff is a plus too! I love the 1 lb baked potato and the seasoned potatoes as a side. My husband loves the baked beans (which is on my list to try next).

Talk bout a Dimond in the rough... This place has some of the best BBQ ive had in awhile.... the catfish was very good also.. great family own bar and restaurant...

I am I VERY VERY picky eater and normally can't find anything to eat at restaurants but this place was great. Looking forward to going again and taking my in laws

My wife and I are regulars at the WHT. The food is outstanding, the wait staff are very attentive to your needs, but, it seems like they seat more people than the kitchen can keep up with. Way too often we have to wait an hour or more for dinner to arrive at our table.

OMG. One place you don't want to miss. If you're looking for some awesome smoked food, this is the best I've had. I've been in both locations, Breese and Dubois, and both are awesome. Enjoy and savor every bite if you have the chance!!!

Amazing BBQ, baked loaded potatoes baked beans and Cole slaw and great waitresses at reasonable prices!

We was notified by a note on the door service could be slow, I'm not going to say much about our first visit. Food was fair at best. Check your bill against the menu prices. They charge extra if paying by credit card, don't except credit card see if your bottom line changes. The sidewalk outside is another story. My opinion only.

Great small town bar/ bbq. Short staffed but who isnt these days. The food, price, friendly staff make it worthwhile. It's generally date- nite place for us.

Nice place, good food, staff was friendly and attentive but failed to inform of drink and food specials. I could have saved $12.50 had I known about the special. I did notice on the way out there was a small marker board that had them listed, so be sure to look around for it when you walk in.

Came to try some BBQ for lunch. It was pretty good. We had ribs and brisket. Both were tender and tasty. The sides were mediocre. Overall, meal was a bit bland but I like some spice to my BBQ. The service was friendly and quick and the place is an interesting old house converted into a tavern. The bar is a cool piece from the 60's would be my best guess. Seems to be a nice place to come for a cold beer and a bbq sandwich at a reasonable price!

The food is good, but there's always fragments of bone in the ribs... not good to chew down on.

Wow! Were we in for a pleasant surprise when we decided to brave a rain storm for the history books to get a bite to eat at the White House Tavern. I'm from Nashville originally and go back several times a year. To say that dining options in Southern Illinois are minimal in that particular area would not be an exaggeration. We were so bored of the usual tavern fare that we were willing to brave a rainstorm that was so bad we had to pull over on the highway for a few minutes just so we could see out our window. When we arrived, we were seated at a cozy little table and given the lowdown on their menu. Very basic good BBQ selections. We decided to try a bit of everything, the pulled pork, the brisket, etc. WOW! Absolutely melt in your mouth pork, baby! Then we dipped into the sides. Smoked potatoes people........ didn't have any idea of what I was in for until I popped a bite into my mouth and had my eyes almost pop out of my skull, MMMmmmmmmm............ Their baked beans are just plain stupid. Best baked beans I have ever had in my entire life. The price is ridiculously reasonable too. I think my entire meal was all of $8 tops, and I had enough left over for another meal. The place has a beautiful art deco bar in it that I just had to ask about. After talking to the waitstaff, they introduced me to the owner and chef. He cooks everything on his smoker out in the shed out back, just like all good southern BBQ should be;-) I complimented him on his good eats and friendly place. I will most certainly go back next time I am home. It is officially on my places of must eat in Southern Illinois.

Smoked ribs just fall off the bones. Best ribs I have ever eaten. My husband had the brisket and he said it was delicious. I don't care for baked beans but theirs are smoked so I decided to give them a try. Oh my goodness, they were amazing! I would highly recommend eating here. Very friendly staff and owner also.
