“Maedge's Bar & Grill Is the only restaurant in Alhambra, IL. It is housed in a building which also contains a gas station, convenience store, laundromat and a very good restaurant. Alhambra is located about 5 miles east of interstate 55 at exit 30. Meals are generally comfort food, which are prepared very well. The service staff are exceptional and friendly. It is advertised as a Bar & Grill, though it it is a local friendly restaurant with a small bar area. Clean and well maintained. We often visited weekly, so if repeat business is the measurement of quality, Maege’s Is worth the stop.”

“I love this little gas station. The staff is always super friendly and the bathrooms are nice and clean. I like to stick with them rather than the Loves down the road since they were there first, unless I need something specific that they don't have, but that rarely happens.”

“I was able to get in and get what I wanted. However, the customer in front of me HAD to use rewards, which isn't normally an issue, if you know what phone number it's under. She did not. The clerk was way more patient that I would have been. I waited for over 10 minutes while she was trying to figure out her phone number. A second register was opened as the line was getting long, so when the 2nd clerk said she could take whomever was next, the guy behind me bolted over there. As I was turning around, he ki d of sheepishly said I could go, but by this time, I wasn't wanting to argue so I told him no, you were clearly here before me. The workers were great, they had what I needed but the customers themselves were a disaster. Come on people, let's do better.”
