Food, Service, Overall Good Vibe! This neighborhood bar and grill is a hidden gem in the DeBaliviere neighborhood (near Forest Park and Wash U) in St. Louis! We already loved this place but now it's our favorite after the top-notch treatment we received when hosting our son's birthday party there! If you are looking for a feel-good neighborhood dive-bar feel with amazing food and the best staff, Mack's is the spot for you! There's a small finish room and bar, with a larger bar and game room on the other side. For those who enjoy cigars. There is still another space with a bar you can go enjoy your stogie (they don't sell cigars so be sure to bring your own). Have a hankering for something sweet, step outside and right around the corner is Mack's Delicious, serving ice cream and other decadent desserts! Five stars isn't enough!

Found this place on Yelp. Everything about the place is super good!! Wife had the BBQ burger and I had the fish and chips. The burger was very good with bacon, cheese sauce and an onion ring. It came with seasoned fries that were awesome. The fish was a breaded filet that came out hot, lightly breaded and very tasty. It was also served with crispy seasoned fries. Nice clean well lit restaurant/bar. Our server (maybe the owner?) was very attentive and super friendly. He said they were having country karaoke in the next room/bar. How fun. Great place, can't wait to go back. Parking may be a problem but this place is with it!!

Moved into neighborhood and visited Macks for a late lunch/early dinner. I had the Philly Steak Sandwich and my wife had the deluxe burger with bacon. Both were great. Burgers are 1/2 pounders, so we had leftovers. We highly recommend this place. Small business with the Owner waiting on our table and introduced himself.

Very friendly place with great food. I had a very enjoyable lunch there today, which included a good conversation with the owner. This will definitely be my go-to lunch place whenever I'm in this area.Vegetarian options: Not my thing, but I did note that there is a veg section on the menu, and the choices looked pretty good.Parking: I was there during the mid-day when neighborhood residents were mostly not home, so the place and the street parking were not busy. It is a residential area however, with a dense college population, so parking would be a premium during off hours.Wheelchair accessibility: The entry does have an aluminum ramp, but it's rather short and steep. I'm thinking that most people who are wheelchair bound would still need help getting in the place.

I had a great experience, and the drinks are great food is even better.
Mack's Bar & Grill is a true gem tucked away in the heart of Debaliviere Place, and let me tell you, it's an experience you won't want to miss. Located just a stone's throw away from the vibrant Loop and bustling Barnes Jewish Hospital, Mack's boasts an atmosphere that's as electric as it is welcoming. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with the sound of pool balls clinking, laughter echoing, and the unmistakable buzz of a community coming together. The bar section is a hive of activity, with folks of all ages and backgrounds indulging in games of pool, shooting hoops, and grooving to tunes on the TouchTunes. But what sets Mack's apart from the rest is its ingenious approach to dining. As you make your way to your table, you'll notice an array of table games like connect four, Jenga, and mini cornhole, providing the perfect distraction while you wait for your mouthwatering meal. It's a brilliant touch that adds an extra layer of fun to your dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. Prepare to be blown away! The mozzarella sticks are a gooey delight, perfectly complemented by a delectable dipping sauce that'll have you reaching for more. And the onion rings? Crispy, golden perfection with a side of tangy buffalo sauce that elevates every bite. But the real star of the show? The Mac's BBQ Burger. Imagine melted nacho cheese, crispy bacon, and a juicy onion ring, all smothered in a mouthwatering BBQ sauce that'll have your taste buds singing with joy. It's a flavor explosion that'll leave you craving more with every bite. And let's not forget about the fries--crispy, seasoned to perfection, and with a hint of spice that adds a tantalizing kick to every mouthful. They're the perfect accompaniment to an already stellar meal. But what truly sets Mack's apart is its exceptional service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. The attentive staff ensures that your every need is met, making for a dining experience that's second to none. In conclusion, Mack's Bar & Grill is a game-changer in every sense of the word. From its lively atmosphere to its innovative dining concept and mouthwatering menu offerings, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. I had the pleasure of chatting with Mack himself, who was incredibly kind and shared the story behind his restaurant. It's clear that Mack's is more than just a business--it's a labor of love. As a side note, be sure to check out Mack's Friday catfish specials, Wednesday karaoke nights, and weekend breakfasts in collaboration with 2Schae cafe. I always wanted to try breakfast there, and now I have the perfect excuse to come back. So, if you find yourself in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and pay Mack's Bar & Grill a visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Peace out, Yelp!
