“I ordered 4 meatloaf lunch specials today, let me tell you, these portions are huge! I am partial to my Momma's meatloaf but, this was absolutely amazing! Mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, and the best green beans that I have ever had! Amazing prices, amazing food, and the best Strawberry-Rhubarb pie that I have ever had! There isn't any better out there! Amazing experience!“
“We ate here tonight for the first time as we were in the area. One of the workers saw me with my mobility scooter as I am currently disabled. He waited holding the door for several minutes to make sure that I was able to get inside. Then he helped me by carrying menus to the first open table. He repeatedly checked on us to make sure that I didn't need anything and didn't have to get up. The other worker in the area was constantly cleaning and making sure that everyone had everything they needed. I have been in very expensive restaurants where I haven't gotten near the quality of service as I did here at a counter service restaurant. But not only was the service great, the food was delicious. The catfish was some of the best I have ever had and their tartar sauce was delicious. We also shared a shrimp po' boy and chicken and shrimp with an appetizer of fried pickles for the table. While everything else was very good, the catfish was the shining star of the meal. We live far away, otherwise this would be a frequently visited restaurant for us. Highly recommend.“
“If you love food bursting with flavor made fresh to order in a friendly atmosphere you need to go to Jalea! Every time I’ve been here, the experience is 5 stars! The owner and his family are welcoming and value their customers. It’s very apparent in their service and quality of the dishes! I love that there isn’t a 5 page menu to dig through. They have their set menu and they have mastered every single dish! From the arroz con pollo seasoned to perfection, to the seafood ceviche your tastebuds will be dancing with delight! You must start with the plantain chips (1 order is not enough lol) and finish off with their tiramisu and Colombian coffee made fresh to order! So glad to have found this place! Call ahead on a weekend night, it is definitely worth any wait!“
“We had an amazing dinner tonight at YaYa’s! The sea scallops were exquisite and are the best we’ve had in St. Louis. The salmon salad and gnocchi were delectable, as were the cocktails. The icing on the cake was being served by the one and only, Andy Samberg!! I can’t believe he works here! The service was amazing as was his comedic nature! Everything about this place was top notch.!! We absolutely will be back! BEST.NIGHT. EVER!! ☺️“
“We sat outside for lunch, cute patio, comfortable and inviting. The server was very good, we didn't have to wait for anything, drinks were very good the Hanger steak & fries was the absolute best Hanger steak I've ever had, the chimichuri was a great compliment to the steak. My husband had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo it was amazing, the sauce had the best flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. We definitely will be back!!“
“Amazing food, service and staff across the board. Our waiter Maz is in the team picture of best 5 waiters I’ve ever had. Attentive beyond necessity! What waiter pours 3 guys bottled beers into a frosty glass? Maz does! Total understanding of menu, ingredients and recommendations! Highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Maz! Definitely will be back next time i’m in St. Louis!“
“Wow ! What a great place from the food to the decor as soon as you step just inside the door it screams Mexico. I used their event room all day for meetings. Liz and Dave took great care of me all day. Dave was my right hand man, I will be back.“
“Greeted immediately upon entering by friendly staff. Service was great, food cooked to perfection. ?? Atmosphere had a great vibe. Compliments to the bartender on the Drinks. They were great as well. Overall, great first-time experience. Will definitely be back to try more options on the menu.“
“First time here. We had the catfish and shrimp combo. We also had the gumbo fries and jerk chicken fries with the soft shell crab sandwich. The food was great. The guy taking our order was very helpful and had great recommendations. Would definitely recommend.“
“always a great meal, reasonable prices and always a drink special! Harry really knows how to do this upright. It's a seafood, gumbo, all around great restaurant. If you're interested in those types of great things, including fried clams, fish tacos, and crab, I highly recommend it !“
“The food was very good. Our sever "Jennifer" was kinda rude and did not return after paying check. Coffee and Juice is not included with brunch it was on or the other which seemed odd to me. I will be back just with another sever.“
“Pretty solid. Was our first time having Indian, so this was a new experience. We got the dinner for 2, the soup was super good! The chicken tikka masala and the lamb curry was nice, though my lamb had a super crunchy bit that I couldn’t tell what it was. Not as spicy as I was hoping for but I was happy. The rice pudding they gave wasn’t very good, had a muted taste. The bread was excellent. Service was okay, the servers weren’t very chatty and we had like 4 different people checking in. Kind of an awkward experience. Would definitely get carry out or go again!“

“Clayton is pretty much the best bartender ever, and I drink well enough, so I know ;) I stop in for a slice of hands down the best carrot cake in the world and a White Russian - always ALWAYS ALWAYS treated well , the employees all provide top of the line experiences.“
“I entertain customers so I'm always having good restaurant experiences. Edgewild never disappoints. Interestingly they are able to prepare really elaborate dishes that taste great quickly. Staff is always great and the service is impeccable.“
“Great Place to dine ? The Cajun boil bag is DELICIOUS! It came with ? corn, ?potatoes, sausage ? and shrimp ? Awwwe Man the broth n sauce in the bag was soo tasteful and full of garlic ? and it came with a side of garlic bread ?Definitely will be eating here again?? and recommending to my friends ?“
“Well, I've only been once to get oysters for a NYE soiree. The industrial park joint was none too fancy and, of course, smelled about like you'd expect a seafood wholesaler's to, but super friendly service, solid selection, great price and quality, so five stars for my needs.“
“I love gulf shores restaurants. The one in edwardsville had some problems with the turnover on cooks so stopped going. This one had good food I recommend the crab cakes. I got the mixed grill it wasn't very hot but we had 10 people in our group.“
“Listen, I totally forgot about this place until I was looking for a shrimp po' boy and I am so upset that I have missed about a year of their food. Stop and get something even if the line happens to be long. It is WORTH THE WAIT! Even my kids like their fish, which is highly unusual.“
“Thank you to the owner for keeping everyone safe from the guy who pulled out his gun. His psychotic girlfriend walked out clapping and smiling after her boyfriend had pulled out a gun at the restaurant. Owner did nothing wrong! Everyone was obviously scared I hope they caught that man and his girlfriend!“
“Our waitress was awesome and in fact, all the employees were very friendly. The food was great. We recently had a bad experience with a waitress at the South County location, so we thought we'd try the Chesterfield location. It was definitely worth the extra drive.“
“Visited just following lunch at around 1:30 ish PM. Very few people dining in (two). I ordered an edamame appetizer and the menu item SASHIMI WITH A KICK (special “kick” spicy sauce). All items suited me. My only drawback to the experience was that the sashimi (two pieces) were really well refrigerated and affected my sensitive teeth. I will eat here again because I do follow MUNSOK SO.“

“The food was delicious and cooked correctly. Portion size was good. The salads were outstanding for size, somehow the Parmesan cheese had a flat taste as well as the dressing. The mushrooms and flounder could use a little more substance in the filling. The biscuits aren't quite what they used to be. On the plus side, we enjoyed lobster, crab, shrimp and steak in our dining party. The waitress did a great job! They had an area of the restaurant closed, in spite of having to wait 45 minutes, leading to the possibility of understaffing on a Friday night during Lent! There was no bartender when we arrived. The seating seemed personal, not too much noise interference from other tables.Parking: Even for a Friday night during Lent, there was ample parking not to far from the front door.Kid-friendliness: At a table near us, they provided plastic drinking glasses with lids and straws.“
“It was a pleasure to have Melvin as our server. The service that we received was outstanding and his table side manners were exceptional. He went above and beyond what we usually see in other servers and we normally have great servers. I truly pray the best for Melvin and hope for great success in all of his endeavors. Give him a promotion and a raise. We’ll be back. I hope to receive his service again. Thank you so much Melvin! God bless! ??“
