Baxter's is one of the best restaurants in the Blm/Normal Area! My boyfriend and I always choose Baxter's for special occasions because the food and service is consistently great. The Ribeye, Calamari, Crab and Shrimp Alfredo, and the Gooey Butter Cake are our favorites.

Food was good. Steak was overcooked and dry, but my boyfriend had a filet and said it was good. Tuna tartar was delicious and the Cesar salad was good as well. Everything gluten free and they were accommodating the gf requests very well. Service was great. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. The restaurant is a little cold, but the booth helped with the temp.

We held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding at Baxter's and could not be more pleased with our decision! Paige was super easy to work with over email and even made time to meet with us in person. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The space was perfect for our number of guests and the staff hosting our event were very professional and helpful. We also had a cash bar which worked perfectly for our guests. The staff took lots of pictures of our group and went above and beyond! We are so happy we chose Baxter's for our rehearsal dinner and highly recommend them!

Yum. We went with a large group, so the ability to make reservations online and by phone is nice. Good location and good ambience. Service was attentive. The menu was solid with a good selection of steaks, seafoods, pastas, flatbreads, and more. There were both affordable and expensive options. Everything came out fairly quickly and presentation was nice. Special 'shout out' for the Baxter Salad (a no-upcharge upgrade from the garden salad included with most meals) and the bread basket and butter which was surprisingly tasty. We dined indoors, but the outdoor area looked nice as well. We'll likely be back.

Tonight I had a carry-out order of the Smothered Grilled Chicken tonight (minus broccoli because yuck). Upon arrival to the restaurant, my order was brought out quickly. The food was SUPER solid. The chicken was cooked like perfectly (?) which honestly surprised me. It was seasoned quite well and the creamy garlic/mushroom sauce, Gouda, and bacon on top were superb flavor compliments. The rolls were delicious too - came with a garlic butter to spread on them. 9.2/10. Really recommend.

I I met friends here while in the area. It was a good dining experience. The wine list had a variety of choices and there were some cocktail choices, as well. The menu had a variety of choices ranging from seafood to steaks to pasta to flatbreads. We ordered the prime rib and the halibut. The side choices were great- mashed potatoes, broccoli, or baked potato. There was also a sale included. I had the Baxter salad- mixed greens, smoked Gouda cheese, pecans, apples- and my friends ordered Caesar salads. Our server, Connor, was spot on. As a table, we were more concerned with talking and catching up versus diving into the menu and he was patient in letting that happen.

1st off for this to be attached to the Holiday Inn Express & Suites gotta give a credit didn't have to walk outside to get access to it. I truly enjoyed the Atmosphere it gave you an upscale kind of fill but also a local bar setting within it. I Sad at the bar to get a outlook of what they were offering a variety of libations on display and I selected the BlackBerry bourbon smash something that I had on the weekend cruise line many times before and this was a decent one. Then I ordered the drunken mushrooms and the prime rib sliders which were good something that I wasn't expecting but truly a good appetizer is and I wound up with the sticky ribs a North Carolina barbecue mustard based sauce ribs were good also. If you are in the area make sure that you give them a try stop by and experience something different.
