Foundry Public House - Edwardsville

My friends and I came to this bar and they wouldn’t serve us even though we are all 22. Bartender was extremely rude to all of us, service was poor, they told us to call the cops to check our IDs so we did then they got mad and embarrassed that we did. The whole staff was talking poorly on us because of this situation and would not serve us in the end because their egos are way too big and they were embarrassed. Sorry we did what you told us too. They looked at us weird already when we walked it. Don’t come here ever.

1 1/2 hour wait for food at 2pm in afternoon. Will not return back to this place.

My friends and I went there for a drink and dinner before my friend left for a new job. We are all 22, the bartender took all of our IDs and said they were all fake. After this, my friends tried to get our REAL ids back and they said call the cops. So we did. And the cop came, scanned all of our IDs, told the bartender they were real, and the bartender wouldn’t serve us still because we caused a “scene” for calling the cops like they suggested we do. Would not go here, all of the employees were rude as it happened for the reason I’m thinking is they are embarrassed they were wrong.

Cool looking spot, but not what we were expecting. We were passing through after a baseball game on mothers day and stopped for lunch. There is no kids menu, which is fine...we improvised. I asked and was told 4 chicken strips come with the chicken strip fry plate $12.49) so I order it to split for my kids, along with an extra side of fries side of mac cheese. The plate comes and its 4 very small dry strips maybe 1 inch by 2.5 inch pieces) and less than a handful of fries. The extra side of fries was about a handful. We get the bill, and the chicken fries plate is $20. The waitress explains that she found out the $12.49 plate was only 2 strips, so she gave me the large plate. ? This $20 plate was simply an adult size portion if not less. I would NEVER have ordered that small of a plate for $20. I paid, but left there dumbfounded. It felt like a misprint or something priced wrong in their system. The price/quantity made no sense when compared to the rest of their menu. I ordered a chicken Parmesan sandwich fries for myself which was served on the same size plate as the $20 chicken strip meal but it was only $12.49. The chicken parm was nothing special either. Used the same dry chicken strips and a sauce that tasted like a cheap jar from the grocery store and a very small serving of fries...but at least that was a respectable price. The experience was quite stressful because on top of the chicken strip price debacle, our waitress forgot to put in our friend's order, and later ended up charging their card for 3 times the price of their receipt that situation was rectified, but not before a lot of confusion). Definitely wont be back. Food is just not very good and definitely not worth the hassle.

Great service, our waitress Paige was great. Great music, good drinks, and very reasonable on cost.
