If you're in Marion or Murphysboro and want some really good food, regardless of price, 17th Street Bar and Grill is a Really Good choice. The Marion location is literally right down the street from Rent One Park (where the Miners play). They have tons of choices, but the specialty is BBQ of all types.
There are four locations in Southern IL and you can check out the menu here.
We ate at the Marion location on Friday night. We got there at 5:20 and had no problems getting a table for four even with a 7:05 Miners game coming up. It is really new, nice, and very large inside.
A few years back, I went to the original location in Murphysboro on the day of an SIU basketball game. That restaraunt is much smaller and we had to wait quite a long time for a table.
Anywho, I love the food, but it can be a little pricey. Especially when they charge for certain "signature sides".
PS. My wife got the BBQ Chicken. I got the Shoulder. Both were Very Good. Shoulder is one of the cheaper "Entrees", but it was a serious portion. 17th Street's sauce is sweet, without much a kick. I drowned my meat in it, and it was great!
