“Had lunch here today for the first time. The Valet was awesome, the atmosphere was friendly and laid back. We had Juan as our server and he was spectacular! The array of oysters we tried were fresh and tasty. We’ll be back!“

“Food was great but the service was even better! My server, Josiah was very helpful and attentive. He made excellent suggestions on the menu and made sure that we were very well taken care of if I were to go again which I definitely will. I would want Josiah to help me out because his service was amazing.“

“I’m a 5 min walk away from this place so I’ve been wanting to try them for a while. I showed up 4x before and they were sold out of wings… I thought how good can this place be? So I went today 10 min before open on a Friday and there was a line of 11 people. By opening it must’ve been 45.

My take is, the wings are really good, the chicken is tender and really does fall off the bone. I wasn’t super impressed with the buffalo sauce but the Korean buffalo was great. The one thing I felt lacking was the skin wasn’t crispy… almost felt like the wings were baked rather than fried.

Great wings but at the end of the day they are wings. If you’re not a massive wing fanatic I don’t think you’ll be satisfied if you have to wait 30-45 min for them. If you are a wing fanatic, it’s probably worth it.

I did like the service though, and it’s a true dive bar.“

“In from out of town but treated like a local from the start. Alex was amazing from the beginning. He was the first one to great us and through out the night was super friendly and attentive. If I was local, this would 100% be my local hang. Will visit again when in town.“

“I stop in here for lunch once a week. The staff remembers me, the food is great and it comes out quick. I like the grilled chicken sandwich.

They have several TVs so I am able catch up on news and sports while I am there.

Also ample free parking.“

“It's a Wonderful atmosphere that you were really enjoy I'm from Kirkwood and I loved it and you will too“

“The bar is great--good service, neighborhood feel. If you get a table, you order from the bartender & someone will bring the food out. If you need silverware or condiments, etc, either quickly catch the person who drops it off or hunt it down yourself. The wings are ok. Onion rings are heavily battered-- go with the tater tots. Fish & chips are amazing.“

“I have been coming here for 12 years and live right next door. Seen a lot of bartenders come and go but the night crew they have now is amazing. That includes Jessica a tall blonde as well as Red, JD, Megan, and Audrey!! Jake doesn’t know shit“

“Great dive bar. Friendly staff and a good price on drinks.“

“We dropped in for some late afternoon drinking - yes, I was running low on Vitamin Beer and needed a refill. Red Door leans into its dive bar identity, and I say that with genuine appreciation. It’s a no-frills drinking spot, and that’s exactly what we were after.

There’s a small patio out back for smokers. We didn’t partake, and thankfully no one lit up until we’d had a chance to settle in. When that happened, we wandered back inside once the smoke started drifting.

One of the bottled beers tasted a little off - still not sure how that happens - and my friend’s wine was, well, a reminder that this isn’t the place to order wine. Stick to the basics and you’ll be fine.

All in all, it was a worthwhile stop. Not perfect, but memorable in its own way. I’m glad we gave it a shot. Four stars.“

“History: My Father’s band use to play here every weekend, (back in the day). I was with him all the the time. Band name was T.E.E, Time Effort Energy. I was very young. This place holds so much life value to me. So many great memories. R.I.P Jimmy Gates Sr. They were a Blues cover band.“

“The experience was more than I expected. My daughter whose in the Navy and stationed oversees came to visit but was leaving on Saturday so I wanted to spend a Friday night with her before she left. Well I was very pleased with the food and the atmosphere. Initially when we arrived I was ready to go to another spot due to it was dead but little did I know we were early. Our waitress I can’t remember her name was the bomb, I give this spot an 11 out of 10.“

“Food, staff, drinks... all 20 out of 10.“
