“Excellent food!! The street tacos are absolutely delicious & HUGE! The chorizo Blanco (in the cheese dip) was out of this world! The plus would have to be the employees. I am so glad I found this place & I will definitely be coming back!“
“This has been the most exceptional dining experience in a very long time. Me & my friend came in for a quick bite. We were greeted immediately & told to hang on a sec & it was literally a second. Mike the waiter was very attentive & took care to our almost every need. Chef’s kiss to Yellowbellly!“
Steak House • $$$
“The steak was amazing. My mother has never ordered a steak any way other than well-done and was floored by the medium well.The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and provided both a detailed history and flavor profile of select whiskeys/bourbons. This took the experience to a new level as we were able to apply that knowledge when tasting a flight.Amazing experience. Will definitely be back!“
“Ok so this was my first time here, and I absolutely loved the atmosphere. Very cozy and welcoming. There is also an outside patio for dining, which is also super sexy. I opted to sit at the bar and order my meal. It was a nice cozy spot in the corner by the front door. A waiter suggested it when I walked in. I don't remember his name, but he is awesome because it was absolutely perfect. I was waited on by a super sexy bartender named Abby. Very welcoming and sharp. She was on the job.Moving on, I ordered the 14oz New York strip, seafood pasta, and the calamari. The calamari was the best I've EVER HAD. You have to try it. There are no small stingy pieces. All thick juicy cuts and battered to perfection. My steak was just "OK." I expected more from this place, but it just wasn't there. I grill a pretty damn good steak myself, so I'm hard on restaurants when it comes to steak. The pasta was also just "ok." The pasta noodles were overcooked, so it had that gooey sticky feel, and the sauce it was cooked in obviously wasn't made with high quality, rich ingredients.In closing, this is a classy, laid-back place. Perfect to bring a date. The service is sufficient and friendly. The food that I ordered in particular left me wanting and expecting more. Quality ingredients are a must when ppl can spend $130+ $30 tip for a meal, and that's just 1 person! The portion with the steak could've been better for that kind of money, for sure. Many restaurants post pandemic have taken shortcuts on quality ingredients and good portion sizes. Ppl don't mind paying for good food, and you actually feed them. It's so bad that it has kept me from going to higher class restaurants altogether because there is simply no value anymore.Parking: They have a couple of small parking lots. However, if you co.e when they're busy, you may have to part on the street.“

“Decided to check this place out as I was in town for business. I was eagered to try the fish because of the reviews but I decided to try Etoufee and OMG, it was slamming, 10 thumbs up. I like to eat and love when real cooks are in the kitchen. This place will not disappoint you. It's simple and so delcious. Big ups to the crew and management.“
“We opted for mostly drinks this time around, but still couldn't resist the chocolate tort. The cocktails are always exceptional! The Pho Sho and Garden Cosmo were the stars of the night! Service was impeccable, she was attentive without being overbearing!“
“Some of the very best true Italian cuisine restaurants in St. Louis! Service is always flawless and the food outstanding! Party’s of six or more can set a reservation. Please expect to wait a bit for a table! It’s usually not long and the food is certainly worth it. My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid and I will continue that tradition!“
“The service here is top notch. My husband and I came on our anniversary before catching the theater. Our reservation was for 5:15, and we admittedly were a bit late, but informed our server that we needed to leave by 6:30 to make our show. The serving staff took good care of us and what we ordered, three courses worth, was all highly flavorful and top notch.“
“The lobster roll was excellent. The catfish on the poor boy sandwich tasted a little fishy and was a little light on the fish to breading ratio! Our server was great but food was a little slow coming out for the low number of customers that had ordered since we were the third table seated after they opened at 4:30pm.“
“A place that has been in business for 95 years, in the same building, deserved a visit. When I heard this, I had to take that short drive to Madison, Illinois, to see what this "fish sandwich" craze was all about. I walked in and felt as if I had falling into a time capsule. I mean that in a good way. You had locals at the bar, talking just shooting the breeze. There was a constant flow of foot traffic. The server was patient and very friendly as she balanced cooking, taking orders, and interacting with customers. Not missing a single beat. I was very impressed! So she handed me the brown paper bag. I couldn't wait to get to the car! This sandwich was huge! A beautiful golden crust! Light, not overpowered with seasoning. The homemade tarter sauce. Banana peppers and onions. In between two slices of soft Italian cream bread. Simply delicious is all I can say. This place was worth every mile driven. Great job!“
“Crab cakes were amazing with the fried green tomato on the bottom! Oysters were spot on. Red beans and rice smoky good. Dana it’s and tacos just ok even though recommended by multiple. Good volume of nice music, servers friendly and prompt! Would come back for sure.“
“This was a night out with my brothers and friends. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The drinks were okay. The bloody mary was simple, not much zing to the taste. It was kind of bland. Our server was polite and friendly. We were treated to vocals from retired football tight end Jackie Smith. He sounded great that night. A nice place for dinner or just cocktails after donner.“
“Just a heads up they do have a sign that says they can search you before entering. We came in a Saturday night and it was busy! They had two customers celebrating their birthday so the bar decorated the entire place! There is a DJ in a booth. There is a stage to dance. Outside there is two covered seating areas, fire pits and tons of room for at least fifty people. The bartenders were very nice. They made us lemon drops which were delicious. The atmosphere is very neat, laid back and fun. They promote for 35 and up for the "grown and sexy." It is a club feel.“
“Really nice place inside. Don't know what the bar looked like because we didn't go in. I have heard people say that it's pricey and of course it is because this isn't your average Mexican restaurant. The menu is small plate oriented and the menu ismore like a tasting menu. The food is higher end than all the other places and outstanding. I can't comment on their drink menu because I seldom drink when going out. I will say that the pricing seem to be a bit higher than most places which will account for a higher per person ticket if one has two or three drinks. Still, our total was $70 ore tip for 2 people including 2 beers.The wait time between "courses" is a bit long but not enough for me to really complain about. The staff were friendly dmv knowledgeable about the menu. It may not me a place we'll go to monthly but we will definitely be back!“

“We were in town for a long weekend celebrating our anniversary and chose to go here for our anniversary dinner. Service was outstanding, the staff was so friendly, a great atmosphere, and delicious pasta. I ordered a cosmopolitan that was great, and we got a dessert that was wonderful also.“
“Hammerstone's is ALIVE, friendly and authentic. We were there for breakfast and even though it was 9:00 am and there was no scheduled entertainment, the friendly energy of the local crowd and the staff was off the charts. Our food looked and tasted like it was made with pride.Our waitress (who was also the bartender) was super attentive and each one of her table visits made our experience boo coo better. I had the Soulard Omelette, served spicy for that extra Nawlins kick. I'll be back in St. Louis often and this will be my go-to every time.“
“Absolutely amazing food! I've tried about 12 rolls so far, the seaweed salad, and orange chicken. My partner and I can't get enough of this place! This is one of the best places to eat around Grand and Gravois. I love being able to order online and bring it home!“
“This is my wife and I 1st time due to reading the reviews. I ordered the chimichunga and my wife ordered the tilapia. We really enjoyed the food and the chef even came out to ask how was our food. It was great. Also try the cantaloupe water.“

“Joyful House is a MUST try! ?Have you heard that restaurants attached to grocery stores are the best hidden gems?! Joyful House definitely lives up to this expectation!My Favs:#4 Goi Cuon: Fresh Spring Rolls (PRO-TIP: these are made to order, so you can request just shrimp or just pork)#42 Lau Canh Chua: Sweet & Sour Soup Hot Pot#39 Stir Fried Chili Tofu&& they have Boba Tea!!“
“Absolutely one of the best restaurants in St. Louis. They are known for the golden fried chicken. The breading is very good. Very juicy perfectly cooked chicken. They have the BEST fried mushrooms I’ve had. The wings are AMAZING. It gets better. The SAUCES are delicious ?. All are homemade from scratch. The owner Charlene is so sweet and kind. The customer service here is excellent. This is a MUST STOP place to eat! The sides are so good you will be back for more!“
“Nicki is the best Nicole is an awesome person awesome customer service ??? awesome food ??Parking: Front or backKid-friendliness: Yes and they have plenty of space ? no games but it's very nice on the inside ?Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it's wheelchair accessible ??“
“The food, the service (Allen W.), the music.....all AMAZING!!! Since we got into St. Loius for our visit we have been waiting for our "ah-ha" meal and experience and we got it here. Everything was so prefect!!! Thank you, Evangeline's. We will be back.“
“Would have never even known this place existed, but we got a "seize the deal". Started with the chicken wing special. We are both very picky, and these wings were cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. We got the cod dish to split. We could have split the half. Such garlicky goodness. We live in Portsmout and will go again. The picture I posted is half.“
“Took a trip to St. Louis for spring break and decided to try this place. Our waiter Josh was amazing. He answered all asked questions and had a positive and joyful attitude. He even cut a few jokes with us. Overall 10/10 service. If we ever visit St. Louis again, we hope to get Josh again!“
“I had been looking for another good black, owned fish, restaurant, other than mothers. Even though I like mothers fish, there aren’t many around…. When I found the Fishhouse, I realize I had found a home.. it’s a family owned business, and their fish is fresh and fried well. They even have good sides, and I don’t usually eat everyone’s side dishes.“
“Hosted my daughter's 21st birthday. Plenty of room, all the food was excellent and everyone had a great time. Love the wings and the pizza for sure. They have slot machines but I didn't play any. It was a great place to host a large group.“
“Truly a grown folks' atmosphere and great location to get some good food and drinks, enjoy some great current and throwback contemporary urban adult music, and still chill enough to engage in good conversation. Gotta stop thru to see for yourself. Just 2 minutes walk from 5th and missouri metro link station if you wish to catch the train or park and walk... or if unfamiliar with area.“
“I took my daughter who's 2 on her first bus ride. It must've been God's Plan. Our scheduled day had changed just as our little adventure had begun. At first, we were just going to go home. Instead, we detoured inside to the KING CHOP SUEY on West Florissant. We had such a wonderful and memorable time! The lady took our order and was so very patient. She made our day so much better. (I wish I had learned her name.) My daughter and I sat in and ate. Well, I sat, the baby sat every once in a while. (terrible 2's ?) No one complained, made faces, or gave any attitude. The food was SO GOOD, even the Crab Rangoon! It was hot, fresh and made just as asked. She called out my order as a number but I didn't have one. (it's on the receipt btw). I told her she hadn't given me a number. She didn't argue that she did or give me any flack. She just asked what I ordered. I found it later in my pocket later with my change. (Sorry Ma'am ?) I also asked for something so my daughter could eat on her own. She gave me a cute little baby sized box. It was perfect. The place was very clean, AND I felt safe, which is really something to say in St. Louis City. So, as we're walking through the door later that night, when we FINALLY got home, the first thing my daughter said was RICE!! So we ate the leftovers. That was probably the clearest thing I've heard this girl say besides No, Mama, and Juice. Thank You Guys So Much!!! If ever I get another chance, I'll be back. I definitely recommend this location to others. A much better than their competitors. (Place Unspoken)Kid-friendliness: My daughter and I sat in and ate.

“The restaurant is great.. food looks great and tastes even better. Mariscos in the STL area. Plates are huge, make sure you come with a good crown to try everything. Music was too loud we couldn’t even talk…I cannot wait to be back again.Great experience ????“
“My son’s took me to this place for my birthday brunch. He reserved a table so I highly recommend you check availability to avoid long wait time. Our waitress Mone’ was Awesome ?? she had our table set and ready upon our arrival. It’s a small location but it’s nice there’s video music ?playing on the big screen ? at a low volume and conversational paintings ?️ on the walls while you wait for your order. I ordered the lamb chops with the glaze sauce on the side it was delicious, my son’s and my mom had the shrimp Alfredo, fried potatoes, stacked pancakes, fried chicken, French toast all was good. It was funny that we all eating saying okay this taste good and my son was like mama let me taste your lamb chops I handed him a bone with a little meat? Try this place out you will not be disappointed“

“It's new and still finding it's way but my experiences have been well. The food was accurate, the employees all aim to please, the prices are reasonable. Prepare to wait 20 minutes on all orders. Call ahead or place your order and check out the smoke shop next door. They are also open late.“
“My husband I I ate breakfast at Main Street Cafe. My husband had a cheese omelette, home fries and English muffin. I had 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious. The cafe is old but clean, comfortable and the servers are attentive and friendly. We’ll be back!“
“The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the molcajete which was amazing. The price was great for the quantity of food you get. The staff was friendly. I would recommend visiting. The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful decorated.“
