THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Supermarkets
-There is a Fresh Thyme Farmers Market grocery store at 6569 N. Illinois in Fairview Heights, IL. It’s about a 10 minute drive from the house if you take I-64 E. They have fresh produce and organic and natural foods. They have an amazing salad bar, too!
-There’s an Aldi Grocery Store near Fresh Thyme. They are located at 5925 N. Illinois St. Fairview Heights, IL.
-There are two Walmart Super Center stores 10-15 minutes away. The Walmart in Collinsville is easier to get to and is often much less busy than the Walmart in O’Fallon. Both Walmart stores do grocery pick up so you can put your order in through their app and schedule a time to pick it up. It’s a lifesaver sometimes!
Restaurants & Bars
Our Favorites:
- Peel Brewery Wood Fired Pizza at 104 S. Cherry St. in O’Fallon, IL. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the house. It’s a local, chef-owned business. They have amazing pizza, delicious salads,tacos, sandwiches, and BBQ. It also is a Brewery with craft beer.
- Hot Shots Sports Bar and Grill at 1319 Central Park Dr. in O’Fallon, IL. This is one of the better spots to watch games and eat good American grill food. They have drink specials for any night of the week.
- Bandanas BBQ at 4608 N Illinois St. in Fairview Heights, IL. This is a great stop for well-priced barbeque. They only serve domestic beers, so this may be a good take out item if you want to have some brews. This is a must if you want some easy BBQ!!!
- Sheridan’s Frozen Custard at 5326 N Illinois St. in Fairview Heights, IL. This is a great place to get good custard without having to drive over to Ted Drewes in St. Louis.

GETTING AROUND
Public Transportation
Metrolink Fairview Heights Station
Good for:
- Cardinal Games
- Visiting the Arch
- The Casino Queen
- Lumiere Place Casino
- Forrest Park – Zoo area
- The new Union Station Aquarium
This is the easiest way to get into downtown without having to drive. It is straight down
highway 157 about 3 miles. You can park in their massive parking lot and then by tickets to
board.
BE CAREFUL AT NIGHT!!! While it does not have much crime along the train route, the
Metrolink does go through East St. Louis, which has a higher crime rate. I would choose another transportation method unless it is after a big event like Cardinal baseball games or downtown festivals.

Summary: Was in town for a youth lacrosse tournament split between O’Fallon and downtown St Louis and this was the perfect in between spot. You’re very close to all things downtown St Louis, yet still situated in a nice oasis away from the hustle and bustle. The deck is awesome as you are covered by a canopy of trees which keep things cool even on the hottest days. Erik was a gracious host. Would definitely book here again.
