Mini Corral

Excellent steak fries and their sliders are great. Also some of the best hot wings I've ever had. They take debit now so call in ahead of time and pick up some of the best food in the area.

Stopped in while visiting the area. Small place, but there are 7 tables for eat-in. Everything is made to order, which is a good thing, but can take a bit if you are waiting. The place is constantly busy, but most people seem to be there to pick up or carry out their orders. We had burgers with steak fries and homemade red cream to drink -- everything was fantastic along with the service! Definitely recommend.

Awesome food, great people and good prices.
The jalapeno burger, portabella mushroom toasted ravioli, and home made root beer is highly addictive.
Also it's hard to beat a great steak, baked potato, and cheese garlic bread for under $20.
Gourmet, Mom & Pops style.

Cute place, delicious food. Loved the onion things-thats how "onion rings" should be made!!! And the root beer is delicious.

Got the dozen cheeseburgers, I can remember getting these back in the 90's and they're still as good today!

This place has been around for 20 plus years and is an awesome Alton area icon. The dining area is not real big, so you may consider take out instead. The food is delicious and never ceases to make me happy. There is something for every member of the family. Even the pickiest person could find something to eat here, and still have an enjoyable experience. Lastly the staff is always super accommodating and really nice. No complaints here whatsoever.

A nice local restaurant that has the best homemade root beer. I love the mini corn dogs and mozzarella sticks. Oh and I love the cauliflower bites. Amazing steak! Everytime I go (I believe its the owner's son) is very kind and friendly. He makes me want to keep coming back to get that great customer service.

Omg! So yummy. The staff was very nice and patient with me providing detailed information about the food. Chicken sandwich was fried perfectly and not dry. My husband tried the 1 lbs burger. It's huge 😊 sides are so amazing. Can't wait to return

The owners sister is the perfect person to be upfront. She was very pleasant and when the first thing you see walking in is a smiling face along with a very sweet and patient personality makes it that much better. She was awesome. Food was great a always. A little pricey is my only complaint.

When a friend of mine from high school asked me to go there to help his relative out .
That's why I went there when they opened and I have been going ever since.
The food is great the servers are friendly.
Once I called in an order for their 1 pound
double cheeseburger with everything, the owner said why eat healthy when you can eat happy.
When I recommend them I tell people that is
their slogan.:)

I am not sure if this place is affiliated with Fast Eddies but great competition if not. We stop in on auction day always worth it. You can feed an entire family for $20 what a great value and the food is cooked to order with minimal wait time. Keep it up.
Plus the Three Stooges memorabilia is awesome to look at while waiting that brought back a ton of childhood memories for me. Who didn't try to stay up late as a kid to watch that show lol

Just went there for the first time today. We will be back. And we live about 30 miles away! Small dining room, not a whole lot of seating. Cash only...be prepared. Burgers are great!!! Fries are also so good. Can't wait till next time so I can try more things on the menu.

I. Have visited quite a few times now and have been overall satisfied. The fallout from the virus to restaurants seems to have hit this place especially hard. The workers were nice but we're stressed by volume I think. I will be going back.

Awesome food and great root beer. I don't live near by, so anytime we are in the area we make a point to stop and get root beer, if time allows food too. Dive bar, cozy, chic dining room, get your food to go.

I've been eating Mini Corral food since 1986. Everything is cooked when you order it. It's always hot, fresh and delicious 😋! The service it great too. I'm disabled and I Don't Get Around Much but I stopped at Mini Corral today for lunch. It's still the same place, the same Great service and the same Great food!

Best wings and fries I had in Alton, hands down. They started selling funnel cake fries which are dangerously tasty and cheap. Other than having part of our order lost in limbo and needing to raise a stink, have had zero problems. Homemade rootbeer is good, but I don't seem to ever make up back for a refill. All in all, good, just bring bills because they're cash only.

The full size 1/2 lb. burgers are fantastic, the people are nice, prices are fair. Haven't tried the root beer but I should. Don't be scared by the "locals only" look of the place, try it out!

Awesome burgers, house made root beer is amazing, lots of menu options at a great price. Bring cash as they don't take cards. Small place but you can call in your order to go.

Good no frills fast food restaurant. Had a bacon cheeseburger that was exceptional & a surloin steak that was cooked to order & perfect medium. The restaurant itself could use a good cleaning but if you can look past that you'll have a good food experience.

The soda and Salad 🥗 dressing is worth the visit. Everything was fresh and pickles tasted great! Friendly staff, interesting fun conversation customers and in a friendly neighborhood. Please come on down! It’s worth the trip.
