  • I just had one of the best roast beef sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned roast beef with a fresh slightly crisped onion roll and terrific BBQ sauce. Karen's is a gem!

  • We were recommended by a friend who said your food was great. They were absolutely right! The special they had (Roast Beef w/grilled onions and BBQ sauce), cheeseburger and the Panini Italian was super delicious! We can’t wait to go back!

  • This has been our family's go-to place in Alton. We love the variety of food they offer, and it's always delicious with reasonable prices. The fried seafood is excellent 😋 We highly recommend this place 😀

  • Finally made it to Bun 'N Bowl for take out lunch today. It was amazing! I have to rave about it. I got the rice bowl with shaved steak. Huge portion, lots of shaved steak, and the veggies were all perfect. I could easily become addicted to their garlic aioli. My boyfriend had the Reuben panini, it was huge and tasted great as well. We'll be back for sure! I can't wait to work my way through the rest of their menu.

  • A great spot for a quick meal. I got a gluten-free wrap and the lady taking my order made sure to make note of my gluten allergy. They even allowed me to modify the chicken caesar wrap to have grilled chicken instead of fried chicken so that it would be gluten-friendly. Highly recommend.

  • On a Thursday at 4:15 they had 8 different hot soups on the menu! At my first visit I had tried the French Onion. It was delicious. This time I chose the Butternut Squash. It was even better, truly homemade...nutty but sweet and thick with a few small soft bits of squash. We tried the steak bomb and it was one of the best we have ever had. They also had several home made baked goods, including huge coconut macaroons. Will definitely return to this hidden gem.
