Silver Creek Sports & Social — Restaurant in Belleville

Be sure to come here for a delicious meal at a low cost! I find myself dreaming about this restaurant every night when I'm crying myself to sleep, because life is hard sometimes but I can always find what I believe is happiness here. But that kind of begs the question what is considered happiness? Is happiness the burger I always order? That doesn't exactly seem right as some people are happy yet they don't have this burger... so what is it? Is it what I value because I value this burger and when I receive what I value It makes me happy? Well i guess that could be it but then how am i supposed to know what i value before i have it? When I tried the burger I did it on a whim, because I thought I wanted a burger that day.. but let's say I were to never experience this burger my life wouldn't necessarily feel any different because I wouldn't exactly know what I was missing..so was trying this burger counter intuitive to my happiness because this burger at this point in my life is the only thing that brings me joy... yet if I hadn't had it in the first place I would most likely find joy elsewhere and who's to say that I'm not missing out on something that would make me even happier? Yet is pursuing happiness something that someone should do? Because disappointment exists that proves a persons inability to 100% accurately know what will make them happy, and if this is the case what's the point of pursuing anything because it could always lead to disappointment. Is it worth the investment of time when disappointment is a possibility? Are we all supposed to just kind of aimlessly wander through life heading down a never ending path that may at some point lead to a satisfying life? But if that's the case it all seems kinda pointless... afterall why do we value life so much? Do you ever consider what lies beyond I know there are religious answers but I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a religious person so in my eyes it's a mystery. The reason I think people should be weary of death is because they are potentially leaving everything behind and released into "the unknown", yet its exactly that "the unknown" so why should we be frightened? Who's to say what lies beyond this life isn't a better "afterlife" but then who's to say that this isn't the afterlife already, point is we literally have no way of knowing what lies beyond and even if it is nothing just the void you couldn't even feel sad about it because you would at that point cease to exist....

I have never been so blatantly disrespected and discriminated against in my life, until last night. I stood at the bar THREE separate times and was passed over by the same bartender like i was never standing there. He served everyone to the right and left of me and never acknowledged my presence. At the end of the night he ignored me once more until i spoke up. I asked for my card since I was getting ready to leave and he threw my card, the receipts, and the ink pen AT ME. Not TO me. AT ME. I didn't sleep with him the previous night nor did I piss in his cornflakes that morning. Now I'm pretty positive it was because I'm black. I mean, there's no other explanation for why I was treated as if I had spat in his face. I spoke with 2 other employees and their supervisor and all I was offered was a free drink. I didn't want a free drink nor will I ever want anything from this place. I will never step foot on that property again. I also will not recommend this place to anybody since people like the rude, ignorant, RACIST bartender that i encountered, is allowed to work there and treat people like crap. The only reason I'm even giving this place TWO stars and not one is because in spite of his rudeness, I did have a good time. The establishment in itself was nice. I had an awesome night that ended on a VERY sour note. Thank you sir, whatever your name is, for ruining my night and experience. Happy friggin almost...

🔥 Top 5 Wings in the STL/Illinois area—hands down! 🔥

Silver Creek Sports & Social in Belleville seriously impressed me. The wings were incredible—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in bold, flavorful sauce. The fries? Perfectly seasoned and piping hot. Together, they easily earned a spot in my top 5 wings + fries combo in the STL/Illinois region.

I sipped on a Deep Eddy’s Grapefruit with club soda (my go-to refreshing move), and the vibe was relaxed, friendly, and fun. Between the glowing neon lights, the full bar, and the cozy patio, this is the kind of place where you can settle in and lose track of time.

✨ Highlights: • $4 drink specials (check the chalkboard!) • Generous portions + great value • Outdoor seating and casual crowd • TVs, music, and a full bar with all the chill bar energy you want on a weeknight or weekend

I’m definitely coming back—and next time, I might just dive into the pizza menu.
