Boy did I just have a great lunch. Limited menu except if you want a burger, and trust me the burgers are the best. This was my first visit to Mark Allen's I did ask to see a dinner menu and it looked very good. Can't wait to have dinner there , wait staff were awesome , friendly and extremely helpful in explaining options, so great food friendly helpful staff what else can I say More...

We had the prime rib special. It was huge. Way more than I could eat in one meal. We ordered appetizers,but probably shouldn't have. The cheesy potatoes were good,so were the bread things they gave us when we were seated. I have one disappointment, the salad, I don't care much for the fancy greens, I prefer iceberg lettuce. Other than that, it was a very good meal. I was impressed with the service, they were very attentive and wanting to please. I would actually go again, but I must remember not to get the salad, since I don't really care for the type of greens they serve. More...

Upon arrival after a long day walking Starved Rock, we were greeted upon entry and asked if we had reservations. Of course we did not. So i asked if that was an issue, the hostess responded with absolutely not. She asked if we would like to be seated and if so where, so we chose to sit at the bar with the bartender / server Shawna. I cannot speak highly enough about the level of service, promptness with everything and overall quality of the drinks and food. I would highly recommend this place to everybody and anybody. More...

My husband and I were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. It was our first visit. The mushroom appetizer was perfectly breaded. I was impressed with the bread served at the table as I have never had anything like that before. The pasta dish I got was able to be customized with no bacon, and as I am a vegetarian, this was so nice to be able to have done. More...

Great anniversary dinner including the house Pinot noir which is quite decent for an inexpensive wine. I’d prefer the background music to be a little less raucous but that may be a matter of taste.

We love fresh, grilled calamari and prefer it over fried. We asked our server if the calamari was fresh and if we could have it grilled. He was very knowledgeable and was able to get this for us. We ordered the shark special and it was done so well. The salmon was good (honestly, nothing special that made it stand out) and the butternut squash as a side was a delicious option. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was great. Great variety of drinks! More...

First off, our server was excellent! I feel bad that I cannot recall his name this morning but he was exactly what I hope for in a server. He knew the specials without hesitation, was attentive without being overbearing and kept us informed on the progress of each dish. My wife and I both came in with a meal in mind but we both changed after hearing about the Caribbean red snapper special. We both got that and both found it to be excellent and will be watching to see when it is offered again. The sauce was incredible. I would love to see it added to the menu. All in all, another great night at Mark Allen's, thank you! More...

We had the Walleye special with walnuts etc. It intrigued us as it sounded very out of the ordinary. As a result it was a surprise and very tasty. Great special and we would recommend it highly. Nice job. This was our very first time dining here. It will not be our last... If you're looking for a great small family dining experience with white table cloth menu and good old middle class budgets, this is the place to go. Add this to your list and enjoy.

First time here tonight and I loved every bit of it! Had a ny strip and it was cooked well done and very tender and juicy! I am very impressed by the staff in the kitchen and the employees. Everyone was so friendly and the wait was near to nothing compared to other areas. I will definitely be back but if you ask me this establishment is the best I have found so far for quality of food and quality of service. Had a cosmo and it was wonderful- I love that I can get a martini and it’s made correctly. I love the interactive art posters that they’ve placed throughout the dining area which makes for a personal setting. I give props to the owners and management for their creativity and quality assurance with products. Thank you for being in this area and for giving me such a wonderful experience. Especially, since this was my first visit, I was very impressed. More...
