Every time I'm in Cdale, I have to stop by this Don Taco restaurant. (The other location by Kahala Gardens just isn't as good, and the parking stinks.) Burritos are huge... too big for me in fact. So I usually go with a Tilapia taco and/or a Chorizo taco along with a side of Pico de Gallo and Salsa Verde. These tacos have just the right amount of spicy kick. Don Taco also always has Jamaica tea and Horchata ready to drink in unlimited refills. The place is super-clean with quick service. Beats the shorts off of Taco Bell.

My husband and I keep a fleet of mechanic-killers...two Lincoln parts-hogs (7 and 12 years old), a Chevy truck that has outlived its first chassis, and three antique British roadsters that would like to be hangar queens if allowed. We take reasonable care of our vehicles, but we also work them pretty hard. They need a fair amount of attention to keep them road safe and reliable. Karen and her crew keep these contraptions running, get us in and out of the shop with amazing turn around time, and never flinch when we beg to be wedged into an already packed schedule. They are versatile and up-to-date, tackling computerized fuel injector engines and dual carb 4-bangers with equal aplomb. Somehow they manage to find parts for Triumphs that haven't been in production for 30 and 40 years. They have gone above and beyond the normal range of service, even accepting delivery of an aluminum trailer erector set and assembling it for us, including custom work to fit a motorcycle cage on the deck. There is no business or professional service in Carbondale that can boast a more honest, hard-working, cooperative interface with its customers. If Ms. Greenburg goes out of the automotive repair businesss, I am going back to riding a bicycle!

Very relaxed environment with a great menu. Great appetizers and the best sushi in town. The food is always fresh and always tasty. I highly recommend the spicy tuna!

Quatro's is the best pizza in town and has been a favorite of mine for over 10 years. They have incredible deep dish pizza (which almost everyone who dines there gets) and on Monday nights they have whole wheat pizza. If you are lucky enough to have a discount card from either 710 or an alumni membership you also get a free pitcher of soda with a large dine in pizza. A nice plus for diners with kids -- they give free "kids' salads" made up of croutons and cheese, with a side of crackers.

The food's awesome and everyone's pretty nice.
I eat there every week and it's always really good. The bonus is watching that waitress. If you don't know the one we're talking about, youv never been there.

If you want to go thrifting, this is the best place. The radio station thrift store gets picked over by Tropicana, and the other stores are more popular with the college crowd. This place is kind of dirty and seedy, but there are some great finds if you look. Definitely check out the 80s rack and don't forget downstairs for $1 shoes.

The quesadilla fajita with steak was great, filling, and cheap ($5.75 lunch special). Great service and the complimentary salsa and warm tortilla chips were excellent as well! I will definitely be going back one evening to try their margaritas!

Really nice friendly staff, and located right off campus. If you go to SIU there is no reason to buy climbing gear anywhere else. If you found a deal somewhere or something talk to them because they can probably match it, and if they don't have what your looking for in stock they can order it for you (even better than buying online). Support your local retailer and shop at Shawnee trails.

I miss Kroger. There is no Kroger where I live now. It’s my preferred grocery store. Prices are reasonable and their freshly made foods are pretty good – deli sandwiches, salads, donuts, coffee, cakes, bread….They also sell
cherry 7up and mint M&M ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl, which I can’t seem to find anywhere around my new town. You’re crazy if you shop at another grocery store in town when Kroger’s is available.

I have banked here for several years now and although I don’t live in the immediate area, I still use this bank as a savings account. The employees are always friendly, though service can be slow at times. When I had to change my name after getting married, they worked with me to get it done without having to appear in person because as I said, I currently live out of the area. It is a nice bank to bank with and they are part of a large network of ATM’s that do not charge a fee.
