“Great service, food, and spirts. Funny thing after getting my bill for three well drinks and three IPA’s and splitting a tenderlion for 65.00 All I can seem to remember is the .95 up charge for a side of mayo. Makes me not want to come back and I really like the place.“

“I've been to this place twice whenever I've been in the area and have always enjoyed my food and service while there. Anyways a pro for me is supporting a local business!“

“Went here for my wife’s birthday and it was absolutely perfect. Every single thing was amazing.“

“Staff was friendly, attentive, and fun. Atmosphere was hoppin in a good way with great music. Most importantly, the food was fantastic. Burger was juicy and full of flavor. For those pickle lovers like me The Pickler hit the spot with a side of jalapeño pasta salad with just the right amount of spice. 10 out of 10.“

“food was great, waiter was , will be back“

“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!“

“I went to Happy Hour for $5.00 appetizers and boy that was a mistake! The chicken tasted old, it was in huge pieces, I found a chicken bone in it too. They probably use left over Rotisserie Chicken for it. I felt sick after eating it too and had to take some antacids. Hy-Vee Market need to use fresh food. I couldn't finish my appetizer. It tasted horrible!“

“Great Food,Service,Cleanliness and Outdoor Seating,FirePlace,and Decorative Huts!“

“We were in town for a baseball tournament, and were told by a local to check out EdithLucielle’s, and we were pleased we did. We enjoyed buffalo and dry rub wings that were crisped on the outside with deliciously moist meat inside. Every menu item is fresh, not frozen or zapped in a microwave. Our server, Zoey, was energetic and delightful from start to finish. We met the owner, Eric, and learned the story behind the restaurant’s creation. Not only is the food good, but the restaurant is like no other. Bring your phone so you can take pics and make memories.“
