This is the first place I have been to that actually made perfectly cooked scrambled eggs! Food was awesome and served within minutes, but wasn’t pre-cooked. Extremely friendly staff. Decor is all near original 50s diner style with the jukeboxes at the table and a big one at the door.

This diner was opened in 1910 by Jimmy’s uncle. Jimmy, his wife, and Angelo run it since the 1950’s. The history is so fantastic to read about as the Alton Telegraph wrote a great article on this diner.

This place takes you back in time. I love the vintage look and jukeboxes. The owners were nice and check on their customers. Food price is cheap.. They are old school they don’t use cc machine only cash but they have ATM inside the restaurant. I’d still go back here if I’m in the area.

This is a great GRILL, the food & service are always fantastic. Angelo & Jimmy are wonderful people. G-B’S Grill is a great asset to the Alton community. YOU are missing out if you have not visited the G-B Grill. We wish them continued success ! Thank you Angelo, Jimmy and family for your service to the community !

We were searching for a new place to try and this place was perfect! They have great food and the atmosphere and workers were very welcoming. Felt just like having a home cooked meal. We’ll definitely be back to visit sometime soon.

First time customer today, absolutely delightful ❤ breakfast was perfect, handbreaded fried chicken with mashed potatoes (basically everything was cooked right in front of you). The family environment and the way they made you feel at home was beyond anything you will experience in the restaurant business. Please give this place a chance cause I guarantee you will be more then satisfied. This is the type of business we need more of.
