“Wonderful, expertly prepared and delicious food! Owner is very friendly and service was excellent! Try the Ashok, I think its called, leek dumplings with lentils on top, drizzled with a tasty yogurt sauce!”
“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!”
“I'm so happy this restaurant is in my neighborhood!! Awesome food, drinks, and service. My partner has celiac and they are so gluten-free friendly. So many safe delicious options and they have a dedicated GF fryer for chips!!!”
“Food was great. Service took a bit long but that was due to the conference going on. Love the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. I loved their fried rice and chargrilled aubergine.”
“Visited yesterday and omg the food was delicious. I had the brisket which the cook said is new to the menu. It wasn’t dry at all. It was tender and i like they put the sauce on the side instead of drench the meat with it. My sister had the salmon croquettes and they were good too. I’ll be back but remember to make reservations for brunch or u might not be able to try it due to the crowd. The staff were nice and the place was clean. Oh and the flight of mimosa had us still talking after eating.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I love it all the way around!! If I could give this place ten stars I would!! The food was so good I dug into my salad before I had a chance to take a picture of it!!”
“Their smoothies are delicious and the consistency is so thick and filling because I don’t think they use ice. The workers are also very attentive and will notice right away when a customer comes in to greet them and get their order. It’s too bad we leave out of state or we would be regulars!”
“This is a GREAT neighborhood restaurant! Great ambiance in the front room! Very good wine list; we thoroughly enjoyed the Manzone Gramolere Barolo. The food was excellent, and the portions quite large on the Chicken Marsala. One of the specials was Divers Scallops on a bed of risotto, and the scallops were perfectly done. Service after the entree could have been more attentive.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Great date spot patio - wonderful outdoor atmosphere. Super attentive waitstaff (great attention, recommendations, and personality). Cool cocktails and some really good beers available. The food was outstanding! The menu was basically laid out in order of smallest to biggest plates; the snacks were very much snack-sized, the small plates were still plenty enough to share, and the entrees were generous. Very creative and fun cuisine. The white anchovies that we requested on the side of our (outstandingly fresh and summery) tomato salad were the absolute best anchovies I have ever had - if you like anchovies and they have "white anchovies" on the menu, order! (Our waitress was nice enough to check in the restaurant pantry to find out the brand for me, which was very appreciated.) Though we were stuffed, we had dessert and the chocolate cake we ordered was decadent and a wonderful end to a fun and romantic meal. Totally recommend Little Fox, especially for a spontaneous date night out, whether you want to graze and sip cocktails or get a full dinner.”

“Excellent dinner. Easy to make reservation. Service was excellent, friendly and prompt, great flow/ timing of presenting food. The food itself was excellent! My only wish is that hot sake was an option.Dietary restrictions: Did very well with gluten and dairy free options. Staff was knowledgeable on allergies and appropriate menu items.”

“Went to St. Louis for the first time and found this gem! Everything I had here was yummy! The staff here is super friendly which seems hard to come by nowadays. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!”
“This place is so good! I always beg my boyfriend to take me and bother him about it constantly. I love to yap non stop about it even tho I'm lactose intolerant ?”
“This was my must try place when I came to STL! If I were to open a restaurant it would’ve been exactly like this… Tacos + Horror = Genius. The decor alone was frightful in the best way possible. The service was outstanding too. The tacos were so delicious, and flavorful. The prices were also great. I highly recommend you check them out.”
“We have made the Gyro Company our favorite place to eat. I would consider myself a gyro snob and they are the best for sure. well worth our half hour drive to eat here every day if we had to. A plus service, super clean and the best food around.”
“I'm so happy this restaurant is in my neighborhood!! Awesome food, drinks, and service. My partner has celiac and they are so gluten-free friendly. So many safe delicious options and they have a dedicated GF fryer for chips!!!”
“We were excited to try the Tavern tonight for the first time. We were a bit underwhelmed. I only got 3 scallops for a $45 entree (even Disney will give you 4 for the same price). Additionally, the fries and baked cookie had a burnt aftertaste from the oven. For $150, we thought it was significantly overpriced for what we got.”
“We have visited the Sugarwitch on several occasions and had great experiences each time! The menu is exquisite and product delicious. Last weekend, our family's visit was extra special and we appreciate the additional touches those working Saturday night put in place. Charming and delightful!”
“Food was great. Service took a bit long but that was due to the conference going on. Love the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. I loved their fried rice and chargrilled aubergine.”
“My dad had been telling me about this place since you all opened and this is the first time I got to experience the deliciousness for myself. Dad had a burger for the first time that he can remember and I enjoyed the BLT! highly recommend!”
“I've lived in Saint Louis for about a year and a half and am moving this week. I've been to iNDO 3 times since moving here. It is probably my favorite restaurant of all time. I came as a final goodbye tonight and it was so bittersweet! I can't believe this place isn't rated higher on Google. Absurd. The food has layers of flavor, is interesting, fresh, and always so well done. Dishes are clearly so well thought out, with visual, textural, and flavorful elements that just scratch an itch in your brain. The quality of the sashimi is superior. I sometimes forget we're in Saint Louis because man, that is some good fish. The service also never misses, with knowledgable staff and perfect coursing of dishes. Thank you to everyone working there for giving me such fond memories!!”
“MUST VISIT IN STL! Coming from NYC, this is hands down one of the best spots I’ve been to lately from the drinks, food, service, and all around vibes. They put an incredible amount of detail into everything and it shows. The craft cocktails are innovative, yet approachable, and extremely well-balanced. They also carry a unique variety of spirits on the menu that you can’t find anywhere else.One drink I especially loved and recommend is the Budgy Smuggler made with their housemade clarified milk. You can also order off the entire Yellowbelly food menu (sister restaurant next door) and every dish we tried was amazing. Get the raw and hot fried oysters, beef fat fries, lump crab fritters, elote taquitos, brussels, charred carrots, pork belly, green curry salmon, and grilled hangar steak. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were so unique.This should be a must stop if you’re in STL and also a great event space. I can’t wait to go back!”

“Tonight our pickup order was about 20 min late. Apparently there was a new cook doing the dumplings. We just want the new cook to know that you may have had a tough night, but your dumplings were excellent. Thanks!”
“We always receive a warm welcome. Everyone is friendly. Food is the best! We love their ice cream dessert's. We usually go weekly.Parking: It’s difficult to find a parking spot depending on the time you go. We have actually had several times where we just didn’t go because we couldn’t find a parking place close by.”
“Russell’s on Macklin is such a staple. It has a cozy and relaxed ambiance with a fireplace offering locally sourced American cuisine.Located in the Southampton neighborhood of St. Louis, it’s a family-run restaurant that prides itself on warm hospitality and mouthwatering dishes reminiscent of home-cooked meals.From their homestyle cooking to freshly baked goods, Russell’s on Macklin caters to both the brunch & dinner crowds. The menu features elevated versions of classic American favorites, highlighting the best seasonal ingredients available.I had the broccolini salad and lump crab cake. Both were delicious. I also shared in the cheeseboard.Don't forget to indulge in their tempting gooey butter cake.”
“Narwhals is such a unique place to get drinks and they always out-due themselves when it comes to all the different flavors of drinks you can possibly chose from!”

“Thanks Mary for a beautiful spread for my Father in law’s Celebration of Life! A Toast to Terry! You & all the staff were amazing! Scott took great care of us! The food was delicious & the venue perfect! Lori “Wezee” Jurgensen”
“I would put myself in debt to eat this food, It's so incredible the head chef is brilliant, and the staff from the front of the house to the back make the entire experience a joy. the wild boar and polenta is writing home about worthy, and the tirimisu makes me emotional... the pizza is literally the only pizza in st louis worth eating and I'm from Chicago so I feel like my opinion is extra valid lol. there are a ton of "fancy restaurants" in St. Louis but table cloths and wine selection don't mean crap when the menu of a reasonably priced pizza joint makes your food look like McDonald's by comparison.”
“Overall, a great space near CWE to get sandwiches and burgers with friends. Good cocktails too!WAIT TIME: We had a dinner reservation for a larger party for 7:30 on a Saturday and we were seated immediately.FOOD: I ordered the classic burger and the guava lamp drink. The burger was very tasty and the fries are delicious! Would recommend. I heard from others in my party that the chicken sandwich was very tasty as well. The guava lamp drink was quite interesting looking, and it had decent taste. It was somewhat unique so only get if you’re ready to try some new flavor combos. It was very strong too.SERVICE: QR code menu was easy to access, and our server was attentive, often asking if we needed drink refills.AMBIANCE: The decor and layout works well, it’s a more modern look with lots of pretty lights and a bar. A great spot to come with a group of friends!PRICE: Dishes were roughly between $15-25, and drinks around $15. Pretty comparable prices to similar restaurants.”

Was in town and looking for a great local joint, glad I picked this spot, this place is a must visit.

“Our server was amazing, she took care of us all night and had amazing attention to detail. One of our sides was briefly forgotten about and she gave us a round of champagne because of it...making sure to include an NA glass as one of our guests had ordered a mocktail prior. Food was 10/10, absolutely loved.”
“Will forever love B.O.B. but the amount of tickets they sell really needs to be cut back and this isn't just me but dozens of people who attend concerts there agreeing. You're shoulder to shoulder in there to the point of being very uncomfortable. You should be able to have enough room to at least move through the crowd. Also seems like a fire safety hazard.”

“Really nice staff. Very attentive. Drinks were good and a reasonable price. Venue was clean with amazing sound and lighting. They've got tables for sitting and a big open area for standing. Perfect venue for an intimate concert. Had a blast and would absolutely return.”
“The atmosphere of this place was spectacular! Place was very clean. Everyone was very nice. Great portion sizes. We will definitely visit here again. I wish they had a few more options for vegetarians.”

“This is my all time favorite Subway!! These people know how to make a sub, very eye edible, I mean you look at it and you can't wait to take your first bite! I've always gotten what I ordered! The bread is fresh, the meats, cheese and veggies are fresh! I'm 100% pleased with my sub!! Thank you guys!!”
“Pretty good considering waffle house reputation! My kids have been dying to try waffle house, and I never have, but they were quick, despite a full house and the food was good.”
“Tonight, around 1 am, my wife and I casually drove through this Jack in the Box location craving a late-night snack. I must say, this visit stands out as one of the most enjoyable fast food experiences we've had since before the pandemic. The service was speedy, courteous, and the food was scrumptious. The small team working at this location on March 10, 2024, at 1 am truly went above and beyond. They all deserve recognition and appreciation for their hard work. This Jack in the Box has now earned its place as our preferred spot for late-night munchies, and has flat-out restored our faith in the fast food industry.”
“The worker “Princess” was amazing!!! She really did a wonderful job with keeping everything together. Amazing personality, very sweet, and made sure to check on everyone even when they were extra busy. If I come back the 3.5 hours I will be stopping by here again just to see her!!”
“I went through the drive through and ordered breakfast sliders. I love that they use fresh cracked eggs and not the substitute that most places use.Parking: The lot is a bit small”
“I literally eat waffle house 3 times a week and it's wonderful every time I go!!Vegetarian options: Hashbrowns, waffles, biscuitsDietary restrictions: Menu is clear about dietary restrictionsParking: Huge parking lot easy to get in and out of!!Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wide enough for a wheelchair”
“The food was freshly prepared. We came at a non busy time so it was quick, fresh, hot and no mistakes were made. Since we don’t have White Castle where I live it this a fast food travel stop every-”
“They haven't let me down this far. u might have to stand in line, especially drive-thru, but it moves pretty quickly, but on the real, I just go in. Sometimes, it's ”
“The lady working the drive through on her Sunday was so sweet. Order was right and ready fast. We never have problems with this White Castle after church. Staffed correctly for the traffic.”
“Dennys has definitely upgraded, what a great experience today, had dined here for about a hour or so no rush food was awesome definitely good quality service and all was great I will be back into south county for another visit ..”
“Ate here after spending some time at the zoo. Food was served promptly and correctly but what I really want to comment on is a scene I witnessed. One of the workers (I didn’t get his name - he was wearing a white hat and a white apron) took care to take a meal to a man who had difficulty walking due to a back disability. He even offered to get him his drink. It was just a nice thing to see after a long day. Happened 4/8/2024 about 5:45 pm. 5/5 for good service and good people”
“Omgsh the staff was so sweet and amazing even when my autistic daughter had a full on melt down they were super stars about it. The food was amazing! Would highly recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: Had a ramp on the entrance and a nice big bathroom.”
“There was an hour and a half wait for a table at Broadway Oyster Bar, so we walked to Billy's on Broadway, a place none of us had been to. That was quite fortunate because the food here is fantastic. The T-Ravs are phenomenal.”

“This is my 1st time here and was a long time coming. I'm sorry I waited so long. This is now my favorite sandwich shop in the city. I got the creole deluxe,the knuckle sandwich,and the chicken shack ranch. The ? is so flavorful and melts in your mouth. The beef on the knuckle sandwich just amazing. I am a fan of Italian beef sandwiches. One of the best I've ever had. My ultimate favorite though is the creole deluxe! The roast beef and roast pork? Absolutely amazing! Had to get an extra side of that creole mayo. Just sets it off! I will be back. Even grabbed a take and back pizza for another time.Parking: If you come early enough,no problem finding a parking space.”
“First time here and will definitely be back. Food was great and staff was very nice. Egg rolls were awesome. Duck was a bit dry but still tasty. Can’t want to go try the shrimp ban mi”
“Food was YUM, service was friendly, and the space and location is so cute. In the heart of the hill, a must-go-to place for a hot or cold Italian sandwich that tastes authentic and made with love. The Grace was my fav! With Italian sausage, pepperoni, cheese and red sauce.”
“I was in town for a conference and I went to Food Network for some recommendations and this restaurant popped up. I was not disappointed the ribs and pulled pork were really great. The sauces were really good and the atmosphere was so friendly and just down home. I love the option of eating indoors or outdoor. Great place if you are a visitor. And a lot of locals recommended this place.”
“Wow! This place was soo cool. I found it via Google search for a good Cuban sandwich. I realized that I came here as a child when it was just a bar. The atmosphere is soo cool inside. The food is the best part though. The Cuban honestly did not impress me visually, but when I took a bite... oh my! The pork butt was soo good. My mom had the famous Picadilly fish. She wanted to try the Mayfair salad, but didn't want the whole salad so they made her a side salad with Mayfair dressing. They make this dressing in house and its amazing. I had a cup of Gumbo with my sandwich and it was soo good. I forgot to get a picture of it, but I have to believe it was homemade. I will definitely come back. You should come try it too.”
“Born and raised in Miami and this is the best tasting, most authentic food in the STL area. Catered for an event at Scott AFB - service was exceptional, food was amazing, and received tons of compliments on everything. A must for any foodie craving a taste of Havana!”
“Check it out if you can. I lived in South Korea for a year and this is the closest I have found to real Korea eats. The staff is nice and the food is great and priced right. Try the korean bulgogi bowl.”

“Riccardo’s on Broadway has as much atmosphere, friendly service, and great food as the old Ricardo’s. They’ve done a great job redoing this old building. Haven’t been there for dinner but do intend to try it. Their lunch menu including lunch specials was great!”
“Their smoothies are delicious and the consistency is so thick and filling because I don’t think they use ice. The workers are also very attentive and will notice right away when a customer comes in to greet them and get their order. It’s too bad we leave out of state or we would be regulars!”
“loved our experience! we booked a private room and loved the ambiance. our server Scotty was very attentive and made it a great evening. food was delicious. my picky eaters loved the pizzazilla”
“The staff are SO kind and welcoming + hands down the BEST matcha in St. Louis! Every time I visit, they make me feel at home and are so kind and sweet. They have plenty of delicious vegan food options, a clean and adorable sitting area, and an insanely good range of tea. Absolutely 12/10, six stars!”
“Hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had. While the food is great, the absolute best part is how much the chef wants to share and educate his customers about where the food comes from and how he approaches his sourcing. It’s so refreshing to see someone supporting local farmers and promoting sustainability.”
“10/10!! The cocktails are stellar. They are perfectly crafted and I haven’t had one I don’t like. Alex and Kevin are amazing and so personable. This is our new favorite spot. Also the atmosphere is amazing. If you like history the back story of the building is interesting.”
“One of the best cocktail bars as an out of towner from the east coast I’ve had. Makes me feel back in Brooklyn. Randy is awesome, super knowledgeable on not only the drinks but the beers they have offered in cans. Highly recommend for drinks. Limited food menu because restaurant took them over, but they are lovely!”

“We recently moved to the area from Florida and were in search of great St. Louis BBQ. We dined at many establishments and though the food was good, we were not wowed until now. Dalie's Smokehouse Was exceptional. The food was phenomenal and the customer service and attentiveness were superb. You could tell that thw folks at Dalie’s didn’t just want our business, they wanted us to have a wonderful experience and to become a part of the family. We found our spot. See you again real soon.”
“It's probably been 20+ years since I've been here and it's just as good as when I was a kid. AND! Prices haven't been raised ridiculously like the dumb fast food chains. Support local businesses!!”

“This isn’t my most frequented Fit-Flavors location but I love stopping here when I’m in the area for the smoothie bar options while I’m shopping for my weekly meals. I always ask the staff for suggestions on my protein shake and they never disappoint. Parking is also convenient with spaces right out front making it easy to get in and out if you’re in a hurry.”
“I had an amazing experience here! I love that it is a small family owned business. The owner, Nate, was the one taking my order! I came all the way from Chicago with my family. This was incredible. To find small local farmed chicken with this kind of hospitality is a true dream. We ordered the crispy chicken, spicy chicken sandwich, 1/2 chicken and all the sides. The buttermilk sauce with dill was dreamy. I need a pint to take home. Everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. Macaroni salad was so good my 8 year old wouldn’t share! Can’t wait to go back! Don’t walk, run here!!!!”
“We had a great breakfast!!Loved the baked oatmeal and spinach-beet juice ?Had the big breakfast!!!Incredible!!!This is our new go to for breakfast.Great to finally have a place you can get healthy food!!Vegetarian options: Spinach beet juice is amazing!!The baked oatmeal was delicious ?”
“Very professional service. Always a friendly employees greeting. I was confused on my spicy chicken deluxe. I got 2 chick tenders instead of a chicken breast. Good taste just did not fill the bun as the breast would.”
“My cozy place.. very delicious food... very clean and the girls who serve very friendly and attentive.. I went with my family this weekend.. we ordered some baleadas, roast beef and some plantains.. tasty, we loved everything! !!! Let's support Latin restaurants...let's support our Central American people!!!!”

“Good place to go with the familyDietary restrictions: I am gluten free so culvers is a great place to go because they have an option to get a GF bun for your burgers”
“Great atmosphere, lighting a bit dim, fair warning. Food was outstanding, MASSIVE portions. Like, you come here for lunch, you're leaving with your dinner in a box. And you will not regret that fact.”
“This place hardly had any business. Not sure why. Maybe its location is not ideal.The food was good. The parking is a bit odd in my opinion but there was plenty and free.The store was clean. The employees were friendly enough.I had a sandwich with au ju I believe that is how it is spelled. I also had fries that seemed like reheated old fries but, the sandwich was good”

“Every time I visit, it’s an entirely new experience. The staff here is as amazing as their culinary creations. Cannot recommend enough. The new patio is gorgeous.”
“Originally from STL but haven't lived there for two decades. When I am there, approximately once a year, Olio is the number one place I need to go. Everything they turn out is amazingly well thought out with creativity and passion second to none. I consistently dream about their egg salad... the decor and vibe is perfect, service is always top notch... there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place.”
“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Fleming’s tonight. Ordered a medium rare ribeye and it came out medium. They were very apologetic and got us a medium rare one promptly. Excellent food, service, and management. Much better and smarter than J. Gilbert’s who got us a bad steak and wouldn’t apologize if or replace it. They just shrugged. Looking forward to our next visit at Fleming’s despite the rather pricey price tag. At least you get what you pay for there!”
“Hands down incredible services and food. It’s clear the chef and his team take a lot of time to plan and execute every detail and every flavor. Our server was INCREDIBLE, she was attentive caring and make amazing recommendations. We became members and are absolutely fans of the staff. Best date dinner place ! Forever ”
“Our waiter Ryan was great. He provided excellent service and was very concerned about our experience. Chef Shelby did an excellent job preparing our steaks and presentation was beautiful.”
“New ownership is fantastic, all the ladies behind the bar are gorgeous and a blast to talk to. Cool patio and outdoor bar. Food is awesome. TVs everywhere. Great stereo in and outside. Enough said!!”
“Very friendly bar with very cold beer. Rocksann was our bartender she was great and kept the beers coming. If you like darts you should check them out they have steel and soft tip with the latest equipment. I will be heading back.”
“This entrance is deceiving, as it is in a home, and you actually enter through Olio. It is truly a unique space unlike any other though. Transported to the inside of someone's living room, it has a cozy feel that doesn't seem overly pretentious or boisterous. It feels like a quiet evening at home, amongst friendly acquaintances. The food was delicious and plated beautifully. However, the lighting made snapping a decent photo nearly impossible it was a lesson in accepting limitations and enjoying things in the present. Loved the Thai smoked scallops, fancy butter and divine breads, the crepe lasagna dish, and the desserts. The price seems a bit high but still reasonable for the quality of food and service delivered. Definitely a worthy experience.”
“Just picked up a full slab of ribs and two sides at the Kirkwood Farmers Market pop up. I was going to save for dinner tonight but my kids begged me to let them at it. They said it just smelled too good to have to wait. The food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend you try them out.”
“Creative Sweet Treats provided excellent delivery service and great quality of the two cakes I ordered.I decided to visit my mom, who lives in St. Louis, for her birthday, and I wanted to order her a nice birthday cake to celebrate. Upon research, I discovered Creative Sweet Treats and decided to give them a try. They were terrific in answering my questions about the process, accommodating the minor details of the cakes ordered, and promptly delivering on time. Traveling from Detroit, I was worried about how the process would go, but they communicated with me the whole time and were there to answer any questions.P.S.- My mom says it's the best coconut cake she has ever had.”
“Unparalleled service and great for an after dinner cocktail upstairs at the bar!Vegetarian options: If it not on the menu they will gladly modify it and that is anything”
“We personally had a great experience at this establishment. We stayed at the hotel and decided to have dinner before our show.The hostess was one of lovest people we have ever encountered.Our server was super sweet and provided excellent service.It was Friday night, so the food did take a while. We enjoyed a beverage and had a nice conversation with a couple sitting next to us.When the food arrived, we were definitely not disappointed.Our steak was cooked perfectly with great flavor.The fish and chips were what you would expect.I would likely go for the grilled fish next time.All and all a good experience.”
“What a treasured gem in St. Louis! We had a fantastic meal and great staff, Gary and James. Enjoyed the history lesson and fabulous fresh made table side Cesar salad and bananas foster. Steak and lobster are a must!Dietary restrictions: Appreciated them accommodating my gluten dietary restrictions.”
“This place is fantastic, all the food is delicious and great quility, even the bread they serve was really good, service is exceptional, pricing is more than reasonable. Was in town and looking for a great local joint, glad I picked this spot, this place is a must visit. If your reading this review, stop thinking about it and go!Parking: Parking isn't bad, you will find something, remember it's street parking though.”
“My husband and I had visited family at SLU hospital and were in the mood for Italian food. Found this restaurant on Google and am so happy we did! Wonderful food, great service and a great atmosphere. This will certainly be our to go to restaurant from now on!”
“I am VERY biased as I work at The Barn... but I think this place is the bomb! The only challenge we ever have is sometimes there is a wait.... but that is a wonderful problem to have for us... and ALSO we now have a waitlist that you can join online... so having to wait is soon to be a problem of the past!PRO TIP #1: When I am working on Sat & Sun as the host... say the code-phrase "I go Coo-Coo-for-Cocoa-Puffs" to me and I will move you to the front of the list!PRO TIP #2: "Rutti-Tutti-Fresh-And-Fruity" also works as the code-phrasePRO TIP #3: This DOES NOT work on anyone else at The Barn, just me!”

“Clydesdale VIP experience is awesome. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful horses and very informative. Awesome to learn about how well these animals are taken care of. Free samples were great too!”
“A little out of the way on the loop, which can be nice if you want a bite without yelling to talk with who you’re with. Street tacos were great, absolutely recommend. A little pricier, but you can tell they use quality ingredients.”
“Delicious. Not much seating. Very communal. Line moves quick and it's all worth the wait. Recommend small parties due to limited seating, 4 max. Ramen was delicious. Broth was very flavorful.”
“Bartender was preoccupied with serving the men. The kitchen brought my meal and condiments. Kinda strange. I was a bartender for many years. We tip just as good as the men, sometimes better, when we receive good services.”
“Definitely check this local St. Louis Brewery out! When the weather is nice, they have a fun & chill outdoor seating area. Really good beers, too! We did end up going inside and it's unique and has a super fun vibe! The bartender was really friendly & sociable! We didn't try the food but hear it's good too! Also, grabbed a couple of their free stickers!!”
“My girlfriend and I were really craving sushi, but our usual place was closed on Mondays. We thought about Top Sushi since we passed by it all the time and never went and said, "Let's try it out."We were stunned by how delicious it was! We got 3 rolls and some spring rolls. Highly recommend the Crab Rangoon Roll!The gentleman who greeted us was very welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. The inside was very quaint and cozy. Simple seating and some music to enjoy while you eat.We will absolutely visit here again!”
“YUUUMMY! If you want a delicious sandwich, this is your place. Flavor’s were fly’n for sure! Definitely making this a regular stop when we’re in STL. With so many sandwiches to choose from I can’t wait to try them all. Atmosphere and staff were great.”
“Our family loved it. It’s a cute little place with delicious (and aesthetically pleasing)treats, and the employee was very friendly. There are tables, seating for 2 mostly, and K-pop which my daughter also loved. We’ll definitely return!”
“Place was very clean, quite & peaceful. Service was quite fast. Allen was our server and he was excellent with his hospitality, knowledge of bbq, very informative!This was my 1st there & was very pleased! Will be returning”
“I feel a certain way about ice cream especially Ted you know who, but Clementine’s salted caramel cookies and cream and the pistachio ice cream does something special to my soul!!”
“Very cute little venue.. we just ended up taking our drinks to go.The barista was very friendly, but was either trained incorrectly or not long enough. She did not make the iced mocha correctly, and she gave me coffee that she said was medium roast; but I believe it was dark because it was incredibly bitter and strong. The cookie we ordered was good, however I believe it would have been better served hot. All in all, a very cute little coffee shop. But maybe they need to go over an employee review on how to properly make their coffee.”
“They have incredibly good food & generous portions! The service was fantastic. Gyros are where it's at. Make sure you also get whatever pastries they have on the counter.”
“Born & Raised in Louisiana- I never thought I’d find a place that made me feel like I was eating at home! The food, the atmosphere, the hospitality…. I can not believe I just found this place but definitely has turned into one of my favorites!!!! Kyle was absolutely amazing!!!”
“I had lunch with friends and they both raved about the Gyro. One had a Gyro salad and one a pita. I had a very good burger Cause I'm not very good at trying anything different.”
“Super cute cafe in Creve Coeur, quick service, reasonable prices and enough seating so that you don't feel crowded! They have a lot of seasonal specials, I tried the pistachio latte which was amazing.”
“We had a great time there recently with party of 8 but unfortunately when we tried to book for a party of 6, they no longer will accept reservations for a party of 6 or more before 8 p.m. so we're going elsewhere. Great place though!”
“Warm friendly place to eat breakfast or lunch . Lauren was excellent server . Well recommended.Parking: Parking across the street for BowoodKid-friendliness: Very friendlyWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp in the back”
“The food was very good - flavorful and just the right amount of filling to bread ratio. Service was so friendly and they had patience with us as first time customers. Sitting outside was not an issue except wish there were umbrellas - sun was reflecting off the foil inside box so made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. But would definitely go back - great job and highly recommended!”
“Smoothie was amazing,guy that works at hustlers is very informal and explains how they make their drinks. all natural ingredients and sugars. Highly recommend shock in the mouth and getting a drink. If you’re in the area in Saint Louis highly recommend great music and very clean.”
“I’m I huge St. Louis style pizza fan. Pizzeoli just made me a bigger fan of wood fire pizza. So far this is my favorite pizza place in St. Louis. I’ve had wood fire pizza from other places but this place takes the cake. The margarita pizza was chefs kiss. And the mushroom sausage pizza was to die for. 10/10 easily! The staff 10/10, everything about this experience was a 10/10. Thank you Pizzeoli, I can’t wait to bring my daughter here, she’s gonna love it.”
“Our service was second to none!!! Samatha, Savannah Jolie and Tim!! Food was incredible. The whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our family loved the entire evening. Thank you!”
“Overall, a great space near CWE to get sandwiches and burgers with friends. Good cocktails too!WAIT TIME: We had a dinner reservation for a larger party for 7:30 on a Saturday and we were seated immediately.FOOD: I ordered the classic burger and the guava lamp drink. The burger was very tasty and the fries are delicious! Would recommend. I heard from others in my party that the chicken sandwich was very tasty as well. The guava lamp drink was quite interesting looking, and it had decent taste. It was somewhat unique so only get if you’re ready to try some new flavor combos. It was very strong too.SERVICE: QR code menu was easy to access, and our server was attentive, often asking if we needed drink refills.AMBIANCE: The decor and layout works well, it’s a more modern look with lots of pretty lights and a bar. A great spot to come with a group of friends!PRICE: Dishes were roughly between $15-25, and drinks around $15. Pretty comparable prices to similar restaurants.”
“Impromptu date night away from the kids lead us to this place! We arrived at peak dinner time- 7:30- and shockingly there was no wait! I can’t imagine this will last for long, because the service is fabulous, and the food is delicious! We have really enjoyed the other restaurants by these guys- and Press does not disappoint! I loved the Lavender cocktail, Husb enjoyed the sweet take on the old fashioned. I also had the beet salad to start- but ate it too fast to get a photo! The smash pizzas have a delicate combination of flavors, are easy to eat and heat up the next day to continue the culinary enjoyment!”
“I had the shrimp boil and the Brussel sprouts and potatoes that were crispy were fantastic. The sausage was a Great blend of flavor and heat. The shrimp were terrific. The lemon and wet towel was a superb ending I received much joy having clean hands at the table.the catfish was excellent I tried it.Loved the atmosphere and decor. Service was Top Notch thanks.Bathrooms were clean and nice.”
“I could go on and on about how great the food is, but what really sets them apart is the service. Every person that I've run into appears to genuinely like working there. Just makes for an overall enjoyable experience and obvious that the owners treat them well. And the patrons benefit from that. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.”
“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.”
“My husband and I live five minutes from here, we're trying to check out more Midtown spots. I happened across this place looking for somewhere to grab a drink before a late dinner reservation, and figured we would give it a try. We were only there about 30 minutes and sat at the bar. The bartender was so nice and chit chatted with us while he made drinks. All the drinks looked fantastic and I will definitely be back for cocktails. I just had a glass of wine and my husband a local beer so nothing too crazy. But they did have natural wines which are usually hard to find any my favorite, so I was happy! Great experience and seems like a cool spot.”
“Thanks Mary for a beautiful spread for my Father in law’s Celebration of Life! A Toast to Terry! You & all the staff were amazing! Scott took great care of us! The food was delicious & the venue perfect! Lori “Wezee” Jurgensen”
“Delicious food! Ribs were 10/10. We also had the Brussel sprouts and for ribs and they were all delicious. The perfect proportion of food to fill you up. We will definitely stop anytime we’re back in STL.”
“Very small venue but we really enjoyed our dinner and wine. We had the BBQ chicken flatbread. Homemade Malbec BBQ sauce drizzled on top was very enjoyable. Looking forward to warmer weather so we can enjoy the patio.”
“Myself and my wife had our date night and I'm here to tell everyone this is definitely our new date night spot the food was FIRE ?And everything else was so amazing great place to take your ”
“Phenomenal food!!! I just moved to the area and my cousin told me about this restaurant. He wasn’t kidding. The food is as spectacular as he said. I’m so glad I ate here. I even ordered a meal to go. I can’t wait for tomorrow to taste it!!!”
“Greatest ribs ever!!!!!! Fall off bone...delicious flavor!!My sister's recommendation as it is one of her favorites in St. Louis, MO!!Not sound issues with attached gun range. Unique facility!! On Manchester in St. Louis..”
“Celebrated our 36th anniversary here. We shared the shrimp ceviche, truffle fries and a bottle of champagne. I feasted on the salmon pad Thai while my husband had the Denver Waygu steak. A complementary flourless chocolate torte topped off a fantastic meal. David is the best server! Thank you for sharing our special evening with us!”
“My first couple of visits were great! Food was good, service was good, etc. However, as of recently, going here feels like a disappointment. I took my sister to treat her to some boba, we got the order and not even 5 sips into the cup, AS we walked the small distance between the store and my parked car, it ran out and all that remained was ice. It is even more disappointing considering it was a children’s cup. The same happened with mine, and mine was a much larger cup. Quite literally, 75-80% of the cups were ice cubes. It feels like a waste of money when things like this occur and demotivates us from going here again, as it has happened multiple times now even with light ice requests.”
“Food- Outstanding! Shrimp and Grits must haves, waffle with berries delicious, eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy were all just phenomenal Service- fantastic! Quick, kind, attentive. Tipped him $20 on a $86 dollar tab because we were that happy. Ambiance- chill, trendy, kid friendly but more for adults I felt, and also classy. We will be back hopefully very soon!! Wow what a great restaurant with simply outstanding food!”
“we came for brunch from out of town. I made a reservation and I definitely recommend doing so, I'm vegan and my guest is omi but both of us loved the meal. I had a delicious latte and the chorizo dish while my guest had the big breakfast. The service was great and everything was wonderful about our meal. Definitely want to return and try dinner!”
“One of the best brunches of all time. They were so kind to me and made me a gluten free pancake and the rest of the food was incredible. Everyone in our group had a great experience.”
“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!”
“I can't think of any other place in STL right now that offers AmberJackfish Crudo to their guests. Every where you look, you see grouper, halibut and Chilean sea bass. an outstanding menu that erupts with originality. Fantastic cocktails with service to match and a wine list that would make Robert Sinskey blush.”
“We spent our anniversary on a day date around St. Louis and headed to Mama’s for lunch. The fresh bread was awesome, and my husband and I shared the vegetable beef soup, which was so, so good on this frigid day. Our entrees were spaghetti with meatballs and beef ravioli with meat sauce. The flavor of the meatballs was fantastic and the sauce was perfect. We WILL be back. Definitely recommend this local small business. ❤️”
“Somehow I forgot to review SSC when I ate here a few months ago, which is weird because I tell everyone how great it was.The ambiance here is very nice and the service is fantastic. But of course the food is the driving force here. The beef tartare was an awesome and unique appetizer that you'll only see at a high end place. The broccoli salad was excellent and presented beautifully. The duck was by far the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked on the inside with an amazing crunch and sauce on the outside. The chicken and pasta were also both great.I keep a list of restaurants in St Louis to try, from burger places to high end establishments. Sidney Street Cafe will remain at the top of that list and I'll be back for sure.”
“Awesome place, worth the stop. Excellent service, food is top tier! We mistakenly showed up at closing but they still sat us down and served us. That speaks volumes!”
“Hands down a fantastic restaurant. The decor, vibe, food, and service are outstanding! The waitress was also really nice and helpful. I will be back to this location. Thank you ??”
“OUTSTANDING! Trattoria Toscana is absolutely fantastic. Wonderful service , atmosphere,and the most delicious entrées. Thank you from all of us at Revenge Salon.”
“One of our favorite casual date night dinner spots. Creative and unique menu items, all taste great. Their liquor selection is pretty impressive as well. Patrick and his team do a great job, we will be back again... and again... and again.”
“So happy we finally tried Yemanja! Waitress informed us we picked the perfect weekend to come because it's the last weekend Yemanja will be open in its current form. According to her, the owners are closing the restaurant for approximately one month and reopening as a Brazilian bar and grill with a different menu. I'm sure some regulars won't be happy about the change but I'm excited to try the new version of the restaurant next month. When we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation (we did not) this caught us by surprise because the website doesn't mention reservations. It wasn't an issue and we were seated immediately. The restaurant decor is festive and a bit eclectic. We ordered the National Drink of Brazil and it was very strong but great. I loved it. The heart of palm empanadas for the appetizer were recommended by our waitress and I'm glad we ordered them. I don't think I've ever had an empanada, they were very good. The options for vegetarians are limited but the only entree I could eat was really good and filling; I couldn't finish it. Yucca fries, black beans with rice and greens. The greens were my favorite. Entrees came either soup or salad. We both chose the salad and it was a nice salad. The house bread was okay, it came the seasoned butter. My boyfriend ordered one of the seafood entrees with shrimp. He loved it. Cleaned his plate. We will return for the new version of Yemanja. Hopefully there will be more vegetarian options.”
“Our first time here and it was great! Our server Genesis was sweet, bubbly, and attentive. The food was fantastic! Had burrata salad (off menu special), the Tiger rolls, and brisket dipper. Other than the au jus being a little too salty (which is prob normal, I don’t like things that are too salty) would eat it all again it was so good! And the servings are huge, we have enough leftovers for two more meals. The cocktails were also terrific- it’s hard to find a Vieux Carré outside the French Quarter but they make a good one! Sazarac was also delicious. Will be recommending this place to others and will definitely be back!”
“Wow! From the time we stepped in to the time we left, we were welcomed with smiles and thanked for coming. Hands down some the best food we’ve had! RO and the staff were 10/10! We will be back very soon! Thanks for the great experience!”
“This place was great. I am sad i didn't grab pictures. We seldom find someplace that everyone liked their food. And it was a bit pricy, but i dont think it wasn't a good value quality for the dollar. For example, the side of fruit is $4. It had blackberries, blue berries, straw berries, grapes, pineapple, and cantaloupe, and was a significant size. I doubt you could get that much fruit from a grocery store for $4. They were not shy with their bacon on the breakfast sandwich. The siracha was home-madede and fantastic. The coffee is debuque, a local premium brand, very good and again a bargain compared to say starbucks. The breakfast butters were unique, and we were split between our group on which was best (obviously the bacon maple was best). The biscuits were exactly what you wanted when you ordered a biscuit from some place, fresh, homemade, and filling. They dont have a kids meal, but a $4 side of pancakes was too much for my growing 5 year old to finish. While it is too expensive for a regular breakfast spot, it is one of the top brunches in st.louis, no doubt.Kid-friendliness: Not specifically kid friendly, but kids will enjoy their food.”
“We came later in the evening, and still received exceptional service. Everything we tried was delicious and my three year old son and I absolutely recommend all visitors try the chocolate cake it’s to die for.”
“Love that the old building is still being used! Great toasted ravioli & shrimp ziti. Very accommodating & great servers. A favorite place of my late brother.”
“Came here in search of chicken Parmigiano and it was delicious! It was the perfect amount of sauce and melty cheese. The service was good as well. Very friendly waitstaff. I was very happy with my experience. Definitely will be back soon!”
“Food was great, beer was great and the service was wonderful...and the prices weren't too bad!!Their schnitzel has a different take...but it was wonderful and the portion size is ah-mazing.”
“I've never had Indian before so my daughter and I had no idea what we'd like, but the staff was super courteous and gave us stellar suggestions that we ended up loving! I got the chicken Tikka Masala and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, and everything was gluten free! We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian friendly!Dietary restrictions: Definitely gluten free friendly!”
“Last night was our second time to Lorenzo’s Trattoria and again it was amazing. Our waiter, Jose, was energetic and friendly, always with a true smile on his face, wait staff kept our drinks full and used dishes cleared, but the best part was the food. Absolutely delicious! We will be back many times!”
“Great atmosphere and service. The food is deceptively savory but light. Just an all around perfect brunch spot with lots of great options for both carnivores and vegetarians/vegans alike. 10/10”
“This isn’t my most frequented Fit-Flavors location but I love stopping here when I’m in the area for the smoothie bar options while I’m shopping for my weekly meals. I always ask the staff for suggestions on my protein shake and they never disappoint. Parking is also convenient with spaces right out front making it easy to get in and out if you’re in a hurry.”
“Saigon Cafe a local gem, w/ bright rooms, outdoor exposure, and friendly staff. Start w/ delicious Nem Nướng Cuon: fresh spring rolls w/ warm crunchy pork cakes within. You might want the warm spices of the Cà ri gà (chicken curry with veg) but I’m a noodle boy, so I picked the Bún bò xào chả giò: flavorful steak w/ charred veg over vermicelli. Really really excellent!”
“? lamb chops and chenjah kabob, rice and naan. we also had icecream which passed the taste test for saffron. the meals here reminded our Iranian friends of “home” . it’s so good.”
“Went and seen the Sting & Peter Gabriel tribute with the lead singer from the Retro Nerds a d it was excellent..Nice environment and excellent place to see good mucic”
“Chava's has great service, and I'll keep coming back for their individual nachos. Every visit to the Soulard Farmer's market ends at Chava's.”
“This is THE BEST Mexican restaurant we've ever been to! AMAZING food, great service, fun atmosphere. We look forward to traveling 5 hours to visit this restaurant again soon!”
“We stayed at the Cheshire hotel and were fortunate to have Basso on the premises! We met a friend here the first night of our stay. The restaurant is in the basement. The atmosphere was inviting with gas lit wall lights, a center bar with booths and high tops. Autumn was a wonderful server. She was so pleasant and informative. We really enjoyed having her as our server. Happy hour is from 4 to 6. We tried the fried meatballs, which were great. The lemon ravioli and the shrimp pasta dish were both delicious. Prices were reasonable. When you dine, the food taste and quality are top priority, but when the food is phenomenal and the service and atmosphere are just as good, it makes the experience memorable. We ended up returning on our second night! Julie was our server and we really enjoyed her, too. She was helpful and interested in our satisfaction! We tried the Brussel sprouts, an heirloom salad with delicious bread. Our entrees were the butcher steak and the burger. The steak was wood fired and super tender! The burger was delicious. The fries and shishito peppers were very good. We highly recommend this hidden gem and thank Autumn and Julie for making our stay in St. Louis so memorable! Oh, try the Secret Door specialty drink, a next level Old Fashioned”

“Every time I visit, it’s an entirely new experience. The staff here is as amazing as their culinary creations. Cannot recommend enough. The new patio is gorgeous.”
“HANDS DOWN THE BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT AROUND!!!!!! WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS THAT I'VE EATEN HERE ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND EVERYTIME MY FOOD ALWAYS IS BURSTING IN FLAVOR!!!! ITS LIKE THEY NEVER MISS!!!! I ALWAYS GET B1 BUT NEXT TIME IM GOING FOR THE GUMBO ALSO!”
“We stopped in the neighborhood to try a restaurant next door that happened to be closed. We stumbled into Milque Toast looking for dinner, and I’m so glad we did! The egg salad toast is exceptional, as well as the rose cream soda. The employee working was so friendly and helpful, we felt right at home! He even brought us cookies and milk to complete our meal - which were amazing. We can’t wait to come back!”
“I had a great experience here. This was my first time here. Kelly was so knowledgeable about the menu and she has some great recommendations. Very nice atmosphere! The food was very good. We had calamari, salmon and the BLT (lobster) sandwich with strawberry sangrias. I would definitely recommend!”
“When snow shut down Saint Louis, Brasilia was open!! Chef Jorge graciously sat down with our party of 4 after a delicious, flavorful dinner: Appetizers: Coxinha (chicken croquette), Tostada de Camarao (shrimp sauteed in yucca sauce over toasted garlic bread) Split Entrees: Feijoada Dinner (black beans cooked with sirloin, bacon, sausage, served with toasted farofa yucca flour/sauteed collard greens/rice); Peixada (cod filet cooked in coconut milk, palm oil, herbs, also served with rice/vegetable). Dessert: shared Tres Leches cake slice Drinks: Espanola (red wine blended with ice/sweetened condensed milk), the famous Caipirinha, Xingu Brazil lager. Thanks to Chef Jorge, we learned a lot about Brazilian cuisine, traditional ingredients, and his country. The service from Ncenga was outstanding. The drinks were fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!”
“Customer, who wantS to order from the menu, is totally ignored until you finally give up and move to the buffet, which is good, but not what I wanted. They put a glass of water on front of you, but don’t come back. They were rated in Sauce as reader’s choice for top Indian cuisine. You be the judge.”
“Special-ordered filet with shrimp, grilled to perfection and topped with a whole-roasted garlic cream sauce. Best carbonara I've ever had. Delicious fried escarole to start, delectable cassata cake to finish. Brought two kids and the servers treated them like royalty.This story is dime-a-dozen among Frank Papa's patrons. Brentwood's best-kept secret. Order the Carpini! Or the "eviction notice" pasta. Those chocolate martinis, and that chocolate ravioli. I could go on and on about this legendary restaurant. I could write a book about how working there changed my life.And tonight, I tell you now as a diner, the train is on the tracks and full speed ahead with Frank's more-than-capable nephew Rob at the controls. The food is still incredible, the service warm and welcoming, the atmosphere...home.If you have never been to Frank Papa's, I implore you: go. If you haven't been in a while: return. You won't find a more inviting fine-dining establishment with better food in St. Louis.”
“Originally from STL but haven't lived there for two decades. When I am there, approximately once a year, Olio is the number one place I need to go. Everything they turn out is amazingly well thought out with creativity and passion second to none. I consistently dream about their egg salad... the decor and vibe is perfect, service is always top notch... there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place.”
“This place is the neighborhood eatery that’s too cool for all of us but still graces us with its presence. The agnolotti is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, the English Rose is a refreshing spin on a gin and tonic, and the staff are wonderful. This is our new date night place every time we visit STL.”
“Delightfully quiet restaurant in downtown Kirkwood with a nice menu including their wine list. Friendly service with a reasonable price point for a nice evening. Good spot for a meal with a couple of friends or a romantic evening with the one you love.”
“I had almost 2 hours before I was to board my plane. I love a good wine bar. We have plenty in Dallas, so I thought I’d give it a try. I give them five stars! I bought a bottle of wine to take home with me, I had a panini and a flight of wine. The staff were very nice and personable. I loved it.”
“Had dinner this evening at Sen Thai. Sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly but didn't really ask me typical usually questions when ordering Thai food. I had the Tom yum soup, a crispy salmon hand roll ( as they have sushi as well) and crying tiger beef. I love my Thai food very spicy. With that I wasn't ever asked my spice level. My soup was good. The crying tiger salad was really good just wish it was spicier. I asked for Thai chilies in fish sauce to help bring more heat to it. Over all good food. Not super authentic but good. Would come back for sure.”
“I visited this past Saturday with family and it was delicious. I had the lamb kebab with regular basmati and qabeli rice. The lamb was seasoned beautifully. The mango lassi was very refreshing. I highly recommend!!”
“Such great food but our server made the experience!! Thank you Bryan Humphrey for the wine recommendation and food! The goat cheese stuffed dates was the perfect end to a perfect night!”
“We love this family-run source of wonderful polish sausages. Our favorite is the Krakow, followed by smoked kielbasa, but as Mardi Gras approaches we'll also come get Paczki. The neighborhood has emptied-out, but we feel safe enough.”
“Boba tea seems to be all the rave these days although I've been hip to boba tea for almost 20 years now. I was shopping in the area and thought I'd finally stop by and try it. There was some homeless people camped out by the door so I had to dodge them to get inside. Once inside, it's like an influencer's dream set up. Cozy, intimate seating with wall decor and table garnishment for really nice photos. I ended up ordering a coffee slush with no additional garnishments (i.e. boba balls). They also have a kiosk where you can place your own order and pay. My coffee was up in about 4 minutes. When I took that first sip, it was like having coffee ice cream. I will defintely be back to try some more menu items but so glad I finally got to stop in!”
“Always wanted to do this. The afternoon tea was scrumptious and varied. Loved all of it.The tea I chose was a delight.Would love to do again sometime.Service was top notch.”
“Great Mediterranean place and with a smaller menu but everything was very delicious. Cozy dining experience with private booths or outdoor patio. Definitely a good place to try seafood.”
“We went all out tonight since we just received our yearly bonuses. This is the first time we went for a 5 course chef designed meals and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every bite. We also order wine pairing- that is a lot more wine than we are used to . We really enjoy everything and thanks for an unforgettable experience.”
“Had a really great dinner there tonight. I have some allergy issues and so sometimes dining out can be a bit of an issue. But the hostess, I believe her name was Lisa, was so helpful and full of suggestions. She showed me many options that would work well for me. I ended up with a penne primavera and added chicken to it. It was fantastic. If I could give the whole experience more than five stars I would. We will definitely be back.”
“This place is a must try. The food and service were great.My wife and I both ordered the Burnt Ends Sandwich with fries and wings for an appetizer. The Burnt Ends Sandwich was nice and tender. The wings were very good. I had to stop eating them so I would be able to eat my sandwich.The only negative thing was the sauce. I was not a big fan of the sauces, although the sauce that came on the sandwich worked well with the Burnt Ends. I'm not a fan of peppery or spicy sauces, and that's what they featured.I would visit this place again. I definitely would order their Burnt Ends by themselves and add a different type of BBQ sauce.”
“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Fleming’s tonight. Ordered a medium rare ribeye and it came out medium. They were very apologetic and got us a medium rare one promptly. Excellent food, service, and management. Much better and smarter than J. Gilbert’s who got us a bad steak and wouldn’t apologize if or replace it. They just shrugged. Looking forward to our next visit at Fleming’s despite the rather pricey price tag. At least you get what you pay for there!”
“Would give them more stars if I could. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar tonight (2/25) and the solo server and solo bartender rocked it out. They were busy prior to our arrival and that trend only continued. I don't know of many restaurant staff who could handle a walk-in 12 top, bar guests, and several families with small children who came in at the same time. They were assisting each other, running food (I even saw a kitchen staff member running food), bagging togos, changing kegs, and absolutely *killing* it all while never missing a beat. Food was amazing too!”

“Pasta House catered our wedding, and they did an amazing job!!! They made the whole day a breeze! The food was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers!!! My husband and I wanted ice cream for dessert. They placed the order with Ted Drewes, picked it up, and brought it to the venue. They even let my baker bring the cake to them the day of, and they handled it from there. The bar was awesome!! The drinks were delicious and ll the staff from serves to bartenders were so friendly! Our wedding was at the World's Fair Pavillion which has some stricted guidelines/rules which we were worried about. Pasta House took care of all of it and didn't let us worry once about it. They were a dream to work with and I would recommend them to everyone for a delicious and stress free wedding or event!!!”

“When snow shut down Saint Louis, Brasilia was open!! Chef Jorge graciously sat down with our party of 4 after a delicious, flavorful dinner: Appetizers: Coxinha (chicken croquette), Tostada de Camarao (shrimp sauteed in yucca sauce over toasted garlic bread) Split Entrees: Feijoada Dinner (black beans cooked with sirloin, bacon, sausage, served with toasted farofa yucca flour/sauteed collard greens/rice); Peixada (cod filet cooked in coconut milk, palm oil, herbs, also served with rice/vegetable). Dessert: shared Tres Leches cake slice Drinks: Espanola (red wine blended with ice/sweetened condensed milk), the famous Caipirinha, Xingu Brazil lager. Thanks to Chef Jorge, we learned a lot about Brazilian cuisine, traditional ingredients, and his country. The service from Ncenga was outstanding. The drinks were fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!”
“Used as a UPS Access Point. I had never even heard of this place. I actually selected another UPS, but they delivered here. The gentleman that helped me could not have been more nice and pleasant. Perhaps, I'll come back and try some of the food. Don't judge a book by its cover.”

“Five stars all day long! The sauce on the Bubba’s sandwich is amazing and the gentleman at the counter gave me a sample of the chili that was incredible! I’ll be hitting them up for chili all winter. Immaculate…top notch! Well done fellas!”
“11/1/23 @345pm.The awesome lady that was working the line rolled my burrito so good! I did not have to readjust the burrito while eating it. The ingredients did not even budge a little bit. Expert mode, noms, thank you.Also on a side note, the automated phone service has a minimal list of commands, so if you are attempting to call for any reason other than struggling to order food (such as phoning in a quick compliment) forget about it. Chipotle may as well not post a phone number.”
“I'm so happy this restaurant is in my neighborhood!! Awesome food, drinks, and service. My partner has celiac and they are so gluten-free friendly. So many safe delicious options and they have a dedicated GF fryer for chips!!!”
“TOW DRIVER PLATTER with bacon, eggs, and beautifully seasoned country potatoes was absolutely delicious!! Pancakes were perfectly crispy and fluffy!! Oh, and they added pecans to my pancakes and a bottled water for free!! Sweet!!”
“I visited Saint Louis and a family member took me to this truck…OMG, the ice cream and sorbet were both delicious!! The lady on the truck serving the ice cream was personable and friendly which explains why there was such a LONG line—-it seems like the return of the Mr. Frosty truck from my childhood, but it’s a lady! I had never heard of Scoops of Joy but now I’m looking for one in my neighborhood!”
“Tareq is a very respectful and courteous service worker. He's calm and patient and so welcoming. KUFOS to TK for an awesome job of Restaurant Service and Hospitality!!! ?? ???❤️?”

“I typically get the halibut or the medallions. Two of my favorite dishes at twisted tree. Last night, the dish came out with a different potato (whole crispy potatoes), which are good but the dish for the last several years is served on top of whipped mashed potatoes. The whole dish tasted different, somewhat bland. I added the waitress if I was crazy or maybe I switched out the potatoes and she said the menu just changed a few days ago. She did bring a side of whipped mashed potatoes, which was very nice, still doesn't have the same blend when it's typically layered: whipped potatoes, spinach, medallions, sauce - they all complement each other. The gal with me had never had the medallions and ordered it - she wasn't as impressed with the potato's, some of them were so crispy you couldn't cut it. First time I've been disappointed with a dish. Maybe in the future if I order this dish I substitute the potatoes. I eat at this establishment several times a month. Will always highly recommend. Only this one time did a dish not wow me!! MEDALLIONS Two 4 oz. beef tenderloin medallions over smashed Yukon Gold potatoes, sautéed spinach & mushroom brandy sauce.”

“I was in town for a conference and I went to Food Network for some recommendations and this restaurant popped up. I was not disappointed the ribs and pulled pork were really great.

And a lot of locals recommended this place.”

“100/10. Walked over last night to try it out. Ordered 6 things from the menu to try a little of everything and I still can’t decide which one is my favorite- I do know nothing was bad though! Great menu, great pricing, great cocktails. What a fantastic addition to Soulard- exactly what was needed!!!! Can’t wait to go back!”
“Great new brewery that opened downtown. They are not serving food out of a kitchen yet, but they serve pretzels (delish), and they get a bbq food truck every weekend. Beers were great, and the customer service was awesome. They also have a huge patio in the back for big groups, and sitting when you want to eat on bbq weekends. One last caveat, the t-shirts are cool, simple designs with great colors.”
“I had lunch a Beyond Sweet and I would highly recommend you stop by for a delicious meal. The owner, Dallas, was attentive to the patrons, the ambiance was nice, the staff is diverse, and the food was delicious. This is a different vibe for STL so go out and support this restaurant.”
“My first couple of visits were great! Food was good, service was good, etc. However, as of recently, going here feels like a disappointment. I took my sister to treat her to some boba, we got the order and not even 5 sips into the cup, AS we walked the small distance between the store and my parked car, it ran out and all that remained was ice. It is even more disappointing considering it was a children’s cup. The same happened with mine, and mine was a much larger cup. Quite literally, 75-80% of the cups were ice cubes. It feels like a waste of money when things like this occur and demotivates us from going here again, as it has happened multiple times now even with light ice requests.”
“I was on a road trip, and put in an order to go. Their falafel is really good, and they did not skip on the sauce! I'm saving this place in my maps so I can come back next time I take this trip!”
“Visited for the first time with some friends yesterday - had the Thai Curry and the Meatless Bat, which were both excellent. The Conjurer cocktail was super tasty (and strong!) 10/10 will return”
“AMAZING Best new restaurant of the year Finally I went to a place where the staff was friendly and nice. Don't miss out on the incredible green soup Or the ice cream Both off the charts awesome The salads could not be any fresher Good luck deciding which one to order. Thank you for opening the best salad restaurant in St. Louis”
“Such a cute tea shop! Everything we had was delicious - avocado toast, steamed buns, cookie, and tea. Everything's vegan. The muffin was the best vegan muffin I've ever had. Staff is super friendly, and the interior is really nice. They've got a long list of tea selection, and loose leaf tea to take home, too. Very comfortable place to sit and work! Highly recommend.”
“Great service, delicious beverages, housemade syrups (ginger & honey) were on point. Cute little shop in the Foundry.Parking: Around the corner a bit, wish maps would direct you to the parking lot instead of the shop”
“Went here and wad not disappointed. I was excited to try them after they changed from Pretzel Pretzel. The stuffed pretzels my fiance and I got were amazing. Ite cinnamon sugar ruvits were great as well. And they even have different dip selections for the cinnamon rivits. Everything Best Pretzels you will find in the South county area. I would avoid the competition in South County, and go here instead. 5 stars across the board. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Classic Cherry Cola. Enough said. This soda is LEGIT! We didn't have time for food sadly, but I had to stop in and get this classic soda. It's so sweet, you can tell it's real cherry syrup. Sugary & delicious!”
“Great location to study and do work! There is a free parking lot just after the Starbucks shop. I don't recommend the Oleato Oat Latte.It tastes like olive oil!”
“This place is a gem. Totally worth a trip to the city! Salads are fresh and Beautiful! The pizza has a nice crispy crust which I love! For you keto and gluten free people they have nailed the cauliflower crust. The toppings at high quality and varied selection. They accommodated our large party with ease.”
“Food was good, portioned correctly, service was fast and friendly, restaurant was clean.I got a burrito bowl and came here for 11:10am pickup on a Monday.Based on the poor reviews I have seen for this location, it seems that they opened recently and just had opening pains. I did not have the same negative experience. May also just be the time of day.To the opening crew, at least, good job!”
“Great food, great service I shall return. Question: vegetarian burrito bowl, why is there an upcharge for guacamole at some restaurants? All Chipotle Restaurants please get on one accord??!!☆.This bone of contention directly effects quality of service, management, and is a determining factor in selecting Chipotle ¿ or not.”
“Great date spot patio - wonderful outdoor atmosphere. Super attentive waitstaff (great attention, recommendations, and personality). Cool cocktails and some really good beers available. The food was outstanding! The menu was basically laid out in order of smallest to biggest plates; the snacks were very much snack-sized, the small plates were still plenty enough to share, and the entrees were generous. Very creative and fun cuisine. The white anchovies that we requested on the side of our (outstandingly fresh and summery) tomato salad were the absolute best anchovies I have ever had - if you like anchovies and they have "white anchovies" on the menu, order! (Our waitress was nice enough to check in the restaurant pantry to find out the brand for me, which was very appreciated.) Though we were stuffed, we had dessert and the chocolate cake we ordered was decadent and a wonderful end to a fun and romantic meal. Totally recommend Little Fox, especially for a spontaneous date night out, whether you want to graze and sip cocktails or get a full dinner.”
