Went back today, Feb 21, 2024 during the lunch hour and ordered same thing but I requested they cook the Brussels to tender. It was DELICIOUS!! Josh, the bartender, was our waiter and was fantastic. This location has never disappointed me. Great staff and great food!”

“Amazing food and a great vibe!”

“My favorite pizza ever! Please open one in Johnson County.”

“We went to Country Cookie based on a recommendation of a customer at the nail place we were at. We are from Iowa, never heard of the place before today. The cookies were great. They were having an event that had face painting, tattoos, spin the wheel for a prize and pick a sucker for a prize, plus deals on cookies. We were burning time while the boys went to the Chiefs Training camp. The girls had fun and the staff was so kind and fun. One of them won a deco kit and she had a blast decorating when she got home. It is not allowing us to post pics of the fun we had. Thanks for the experience, we will visit when we come back that way. Everyone should go get ya some cookies from these wonderful people! Sincerely, the Iowa girls :)”

“Absolutely delicious. So friendly and prompt service.”

“Wonderful take-out tonight! As always, delicious food & awesome staff. I’d show you a pic of our food...but we ate it all...really fast! 😉”

“Haven't tried everything on their menu but everything I've tried has been good. Staff are friendly and courteous. Place is clean, well maintained and is more spacious than I expected. Other than specials, drink prices aren't cheap but they aren't unreasonable, either. The beers I've tried so far have all been fresh and flavorful. Best Reuben sandwich I've had anywhere with thick, generous serving of corned beef and served on really good, marbled bread.”

“A hidden gem in St Joe! A wonderful change of pace from standard Midwest fare. Cozy atmosphere and a delicious, wide variety of foods.”

“Can’t believe I haven’t left a Facebook review yet 😂”

“So, stopped by this little joint on a recommendation from a friend. And was not disappointed. An order of 24 wings for $28. Some might say that's too expensive. Ogre says "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YA GET WHAT YA PAY FOR" and man did I. So they start with a dry rub, then smoked, then brushed on sauce of choice. I chose zombie and garlic pom. Came with a side of homemade chips (which didn't make it 4 blocks). Oh, and might I add, ya get more meat on these "wings" than ya get on some of the fast food legs. DEFINITELY OGRE APPROVED! And theu had some whiskey selection, but couldn't sample since I was still in the work buggy.”

“Hazel's has been my favorite coffee shop for over 20 years! They have the best coffee and countless wonderful experiences there. If I ever have a choice on where to go, I always go to Hazel's!”

“This place is GREAT! Serves the best Breakfast at the best price in St. Joe! New location is very nice”

“Cool old vintage bar. I love old spaces like this.”

“The ONLY reason I would recommend them is because the cake was phenomenal. However, their customer service sucks. Got a wedding cake from them that showed up 2 hours early, then they proceeded to argue with my wife about the agreed upon delivery time. They take forever to respond to messages. My wife delivered the cake decorations and they didn't even remember that the decorations were delivered. I won't use them again, despite the cake being great.”

“large variety of flavors and Ingredients. also dry stock snack with a shelf life available such as milk chocolate covered almonds, yogurt covered pretzels, trail mixes , protein bars, and grass fed beef snacks along with so.e made with or from turkey ect. the place has always been very clean so far also. Using the app is very convent and a way to build reward points and can help save on future orders if you frequent smoothie king. The staff has also been very helpful and kind so far.”

“Food was fresh and great. Service was very slow but I honestly think its due to a shortage to people not wanting to work, thats why i still gave them a good rating. The workers they had were worming their butts off providing greating customer service and good food.”

“This place has a comfortable atmosphere and great people are involved with it. The mixed drinks are also very delicious. The pool tables are only 5 dollars an hour to play and in excellent condition.

Parking: Parking is more accessible around the back of the building.”

“Best pizza in town hands down! Fresh ingredients are used. Owners and staff take pride in their food! Don’t hesitate to try !”

“that you bring tip money cause they pay for meds at this time the whole body will be where your feet are so get there 🥰🫠”

“I had my concretes delivered, it was our first time trying anything from Freddy's. They were delicious, except for the fact that my son ended up with my husband's, and my husband got my son's, and my husband can't eat frozen gummy worms....it would be a much better situation for customers if y'all could label the customers orders specifically, since the cups are all the same and there's no way of telling them apart otherwise. Thank you!”

“Whenever we go to Saint Joe and need a quick bite we really enjoy stopping at this Taco Johns. The employees have always been very kind and helpful. The store is always clean and the food is fresh.”

“I love love love their frozen yogurt! The choices are amazing and so many toppings! It's so good I love it so much! Prices are a bit over the top, for just me and my husband it was like $35 so just be mindful of that when you go! Otherwise was very good!”

“My wife and I ordered the Picnic Peach cobbler Blizzard. was so very good. I recommend it. She had never had a Blizzard until that day. We seen that our local one has combo meals now. Very good service. Clean and friendly staff.

Parking: Right next door”

“Just wanted to give a shout out to Yard Craft BBQ. Ryan you killed it. Had him put together something kinda short notice for our 4th of July get together and it was more food than I anticipated for what he charged and the food was incredible. Everyone loved it. Can't thank you enough brother.”

“great bar to be at great owners and the best bartenders”

“Had a very pleasant experience today. Just me and my two littles, the gentleman was sweet enough to bring our food to the table so I didn’t have to step away from my littles. The manager also gave my oldest some cookies. Very thoughtful and sweet. Made me feel good about being out alone with the kiddos! Will be returning!”

“They did a great job meeting our unique wide spectrum needs...did custom pizza's, gluten free crusts, fast delivery, tastes great, AND they were VERY happy to help! Call, or order online...you will be happy with what you get! -b”

“they always have good food and service with a smile”

“Mokaska’s is a warm, inviting, loving establishment in the heart of St. Joseph. Their drinks are amazing, but what makes them my favorite is their open and affirming welcome of all. This afternoon, I was fortunate to bring my father to this magical place. He and I do not share ideological beliefs, and so I learned a long time ago to not argue. Instead, I look for places that contain glimmers of the flourishing human life and bring him to visit. I can’t know what seeds were planted today, but as my father looked around in curiosity I saw him wondering… and that’s as good as a beginning as I can hope for these days. Our world, and the St. Joseph community, are better because Mokaska’s exists. Love wins. Love ALWAYS wins. ❤️‍🩹🥹😊 Thank you, Mokaska’s!!! PS-He LOVED his vanilla latte! ☕️”

“This spot is great for lunch. It gets kind of crowded with it being so close to the factories. Their food has always been an appropriate temp for the items I had. There's a salad bar and indoor/outdoor seating. Their pizzas are amazing. Just the right amount of sauce to toppings ratio. Great service and the staff is professional and courteous. Minimal wait times and it's laid back even if there is a small wait.”

“I loved this quaint little neighborhood bar, the place was warm and friendly . The young man that was taking out the trash made me laugh he always has a smile and makes this place shine . I believe his name was" Trevor ". Thank you, "Trevor" for making me laugh when I needed it the most . Everyone that works there is awesome !! I recommend this place to anyone having "One of those days ". ?”

“Solomon's Porch has such a peaceful and soothing atmosphere and the coffee is sublime. Very friendly staff!”

“Had an awesome time this evening at the Brown Bear! Great atmosphere, friendly service, rockin' tunes, superb Jack 'n Cokes with several long time cherished friends! Just what I needed! ??????♥️”

“Good food and friendly service. We dined in so I noticed the floor had a greasy feel to it. Maybe a bit more detergent when cleaning.”

“Great food, great value…and the portion size is very nice!”

“I love tomos. The service is great and even with a long wait time(as they are the best and of course people are always coming), their food is worth every second spent waiting.”

“I tried the bourbon, black pepper steakhouse chicken. it was great”

“The weekend brunch is delicious! Especially the chilaquiles.”

“they always have good food and service with a smile”

“Great burgers and friendly staff”

“Great place to get together with friends”

“never came here to drink before, but my car broke down right in front of the hickory and a bunch of staff and customers came out to help push my car into a safe place while i waited for my tow truck. awesome people and cool vibes inside !!”

“We came in town for the weekend from Iowa. This was one of our first stops. The staff and owners were extremely nice and welcoming. They have a fun indoor/outdoor atmosphere. We loved the outdoor deck which has great views of the downtown strip. Definitely will be back here on our next trip to town.”

“The barista accidentally made my drink wrong. When I called to talk to them about it, they were very friendly and apologetic. When I arrived for my drink, again, they were very friendly, apologetic, kind. I haven’t always had that experience at other places…

I also have to say I’ve been there multiple times prior and my drinks were perfectly made and again, the baristas have always been friendly and provided good service.”

“It's like Cheers... They always remember ur name!”

“good music and nice people”

“I was given the run around by 2 separate CVS’s today when trying to get pink eye drops for my son. Finally had to have them send the script to Hy-Vee who had the medication in stock. After 2 hours, Hy-Vee still hadn’t received the script. Shane in the pharmacy took my info and called the cvs’s to find the script so I could get the eye drops in my kiddo before the pharmacy closed!! Great customer service.”

“Wheelchair accessibility: Tylessa was server and she was wonderful, young energetic nice girl! I'd hope she'll get some type of recognition as customer service now days, is lacking. Not her!”

“The staff is simply the best. Definitely, quality is mvp!”

“Super nice staff, very helpful! I had to place a large order for my co-workers. I called at 11:45, they told me it would be ready at 12:30. I arrived and everything was ready, everyone was kind and didn’t make me feel like I was an inconvenience at all. A young man even helped me carry it to my car 😊”

“I always look forward to going to Pizza Ranch, I went today, and my experience was less than favorable. my fork was sticky, there were hardly any potatoes, I was scrapping trying to get gravy. There was hardly any pizza out. Normally when I go in the girl up front, Sophie, goes out of her way to help me. she asks of there's anything I need. The only helpful employee today was the boy picking up my dishes. I hope my next experience is better.”

“I was excited to check out the new location. The exterior and interior remodels were very impressive and reminded me of Bourbon Street. Service was a little bit slow, but it was a bit busy Saturday night. The food was perfection. The lighting was very harsh and felt like a classroom so that could be improved upon the previous location had better lighting and more ambience.”

“great food choices I like the point system because you can earn free things or free items”

“It had been months since I had been to this Subway. The last time I was here was back in April. What really annoyed me is that Subway wouldn't accept $100.00 to use. It is money. What would they do as long a person came in with an order for 40 to 45 people from one person than what.!?

The day that I came in that I didn't have nothing pulled out. I was in the mood for Subway. The subs that I had that day was good.”

“They always have my order ready quick and it's always good. The Detroit style is my fav for the crispy edges and great chew of the crust! Atmosphere is carry out only and really busy, but that's what I expect.”

“I'm looking for a petite brunette that was sitting at the back table on the left of the store with a laptop. she was in a white blue skirt or dress. I'd like to thank her for the letter she gave me. it was about 6pm 07/06/2019.”

“this place handled a weekend lunch rush, hordes of pickup orders, and a catering order from a university volleyball team all while obviously being short people amazingly well. special kudos to the teen boy delivering food in the dining room. he did a great job and maintained his cool despite the verbal abuse from an older woman sitting next to us.”

“I got take-out today unlike a lot of other fast food in town, Arby's had enough workers to get our food fast. I like the menu and the food.”

“This place is almost always got fresh food is nice and clean and ready for customers it is our entire family's favorite place to get Chinese when we have the means to do so as we have a reasonably sized family. Our daughter always gets excited when she finds out we are going to Chinese to eat. Highly recommend the noodles with bourbon chicken.

Parking: It's in the mall considering that the mall is practically dead there's plenty of parking everywhere

Kid-friendliness: My children absolutely adore this place especially since it's right there by the fireplace in the middle of the mall

Wheelchair accessibility: Most definitely wheelchair accessible”

“Louis was an amazing server we came in with 14 people did not call ahead and we still got out with an hour. He rocked keeping a positive attitude and had us out within an hour, even with single checks for everyone.”

“The food was pretty good. Not the best but, good. It was hot and served in good time. I only ordered tacos, with it being my first time trying the food. I believe the simple food tells the story. If the tacos are bad, (something simple), the rest of the foods may not be much better. I liked the tacos. I am sure the other foods will be better. I plan to go again and try something different. The restaurant itself was small, but pleasant and the workers were great.”

“The nachos deluxe is amazing 🤩”

“I have been to Chili's Grill & Bar (St. Joseph, MO) several times. The food was excellent and the server was awesome. My server and former student, Ember Simerly is kind, helpful and my favorite server. She treats you well.”

“Delicious!!! My wife and I didn't feel like cooking tonight so we went there for a light dinner.. they have salads now! Any sandwich you want they can make into a salad.. so I got the Italian salad.. with all the fixins. It was so good. The staff was nice and friendly and the place was very clean.”

“Super Friendly Employees. Pizza was Hot, Fresh, and the new one we tried was Really Good! We live a block away, and are regulars. Always a great experience!”

“Fast and She arrived with a gorgeous smile!!!!

Parking: Pull in parkin' Dinin' just like that!!

Kid-friendliness: Pleasant to the kids”

“The harvest chicken walnut salad is the best salad I’ve ever had at a fast food restaurant. Ranked from 1-10, it gets a 10”

“It is getting harder and harder to find a restaurant that serves beef burgers and Fords has a good one. I don’t know of any other restaurants serving beef burgers on every day of the week! I like beef burgers on a hot dog style bun with either fries or onion rings. Ford’ has it. Great food reasonable priced. Highly recommended!”
