“Came here for the first time after reading numerous good reviews, and I'm so glad with the food and service Yellowbelly offers. Our order:
Brussel Sprouts - 3/5 - The Brussel sprouts were a little extra charred, so they were a bit dry, but the sauce was spot on
Cheddar biscuits - 4/5 - the portion size was too small, but they were flavourful, buttery, and melt in the mouth
Street style corn taquitos - 4.5/5 - Flavourful and a must try
Jerk chicken spicy burger - 4.5/5 - it wasn't as spicy as we thought it to be. It was kinda on a sweeter note. But I have to admit the chicken was juicy and super flavourful. I would definitely recommend this
Lion's share Cocktail - 4/5 - pretty nice bourbon cocktail
It's just a little expensive on the pocket, but overall, it was a great experience, and the servers were super friendly, too.“

“Been enjoying The Royale most weeks since 2015. Best bar and restaurant in town. A gem. Chill tavern vibes, DJs, local art, gorgeous courtyard, old movies, vinyl records, and a stellar menu. Owner Steve is the best. Get the fish tacos, a fresh margarita, a local beer, or whatever you’re into. Hell, I’m about to head there right now writing this review. I’m not even joking.“

“We parked in the parking lot of The Schlafly Tap Room which had plenty of parking spaces. If you look at the side of the building there is a history sign that tells about the building. The building was built in 1902. There is also a history sign talking about the right to vote. I love history so I found that interesting. We got there in between lunch and dinner so we were seated right away which was very nice because we were starving. My husband ordered the chef salad and I ordered the Mahi Mahi Tacos. He enjoyed his salad and I thought the tacos were delicious. Our server was very friendly and took very good care of us which we appreciated. I would highly recommend eating here next time you’re in the area. stleats“

“Wonderful experience all around. From their delicious unique cocktails at the bar with very knowledgeable staff, to the amazing food experiences we had for dinner. Fantastic wine list with a really unique experience!“

“We had our Wedding here last weekend and OMG it was AMAZING Ashley took care of setting up EVERYTHING and it looked even better than I could have imagined! I would recommend this place to anyone. We had our ceremony and reception here and we had so much fun! Ashley made sure all our dreams came true right down to ending the night with Karaoke! She even allowed us to bring our dogs for the ceremony! I genuinely cannot thank the staff enough for the most amazing night ever!“

“Amazing food! Quick service and coffee is divine! Highly recommend this place!! 5 stars“

“Always fast, great temperature, amazing taste and quality of fresh ingredients. It has become one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat! The prices are also fantastic especially compared to most other places, with very generous portions.“

“we have been here a few times since we moved up here in October and it is one of our absolute favorite spots. we drive 30min to come here even though we have plenty of closer shops. ❤️❤️“

“It was an amazing experience and I loved everything minute of it and the employees were all super nice. Definitely recommend for date night!“

“Ok, here’s the thing… I love food. And when I say I love food, you might think I’m a huge person or a food critic or a chef or just a dramatic fan. Well, I am actually an artist, and I… I can tell you in no uncertain terms, that the food we received was *high art.* I don’t mean the kind of pretentious high art food that is served in tiny portions and so beautiful that you almost don’t want to eat it. I mean that it was masterfully created—flavorful, textured to perfection, filling, and lamentable *only* in that I wish I’d had room for more. We started with the stuffed mushroom appetizer—which I’ll admit is not usually my favorite, but my wife generally loves—served upon a sprinkle of arugula and a slashed drizzle of balsamic glaze. Imma tell ya… I like stuffed mushrooms now. My wife ordered an entrée of eggplant Parmesan—one that she doesn’t care to make often for herself only because (and I’m quoting), “It’s a pain in the a$$ to cook.” I ordered linguine Pomodoro with added shrimp and had the steamed mussels appetizer served with my entrée, so that I could add them in (as I *do* love a tutto mare). Since my wife’s entrée was one of her favorites, and I don’t generally care for it, I left her to it, concentrating on my own. I shucked all the mussels and strained their accompanying shallots and bacon into my linguine leaving the garlic and cilantro pesto behind for bread dipping. OH [*clap*clap*clap*]—I forgot to mention the bread. They served a fantastic mini loaf of the softest bread topped with caramelized onions alongside fresh grated Parmesan in olive oil. Upon our finishing it off, I asked for a second helping. Back to the entrée… My first actual bite was of the mussels, and that bite was fantastic. Then I had one of the shrimp… and… here’s the thing… I am a poet, and I also write children’s books, so when I tell you that I simply do not have a superlative sufficient to describe the shrimp, you know I’m being serious. It was warm, seasoned, and snappy as shrimp should be, but it gave me pause—as Anton Ego in Ratatouille. * First, doubt—that I had experienced something so specifically wonderful before * Then, a quick scan from childhood to now for confirmation * And lastly, the comfort that can only come from those happiest memories of childhood—Christmas mornings on receiving more than you could ever have hoped for, Halloween nights’ preparations for what giggles and terrors were to come, and burrito-you ensconced in soft blankets straight from the dryer Then of course, the rest of the dish, twirled and slurped—not too quickly… every bite a confirmation and yet still a revelation. Here again, my only lament that I must see a portion of it boxed to leave room for dessert. And… dessert. Oh, boy… Seeing all of the items, my wife and I—in celebration of our 26th anniversary—decided on the sampler. Listen up, folks: flourless chocolate torta, crème custard napoleon, and gooey butter cake. JFC are you serious? Every bite more sumptuous—more scrumptious than the last. Every bit a reassurance that I will return. Our server, Chelsea, was commendable not only for her menu knowledge and sense of humor, but it’s not for nothing that she was absolutely on top of it with regard to my tea refills (which were many, as our dinner took place after a dehydratingly-busy workday for me). We will definitely be returning to Eleven Eleven, whereupon I intend to try a few different items, my palate then flooded with new sensations—new wonders… my only lament that I will not ever have that “first time experience” again.“

“My favorite bar. Atmosphere, owner, bartenders, patio, food, and drinks are always all awesome.“

“Best chicken wings ever! Awesome music! World recognized artists. This is the home of Jazz. Also order the truffle parmesan fries.

Jazz St Louis also has classes/program for high school students called Jazz University that is free to St Louis region student.“

“FINALLY! Somewhere in St. Louis knows how to make a burger right. This is seriously the best burger and fries the city has to offer, and their menu is appropriately priced. I was also pleasantly surprised they carry Delirium Tremens. They have a super laid back atmosphere to boot - play some pool while you're there! Definitely don't sleep on The Drawing Board.“

“10/10 would recommend!! Best pancakes ever!!!“

“Very delicious food good place to eat“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“I went to Lit at Molly's where they have holiday drinks and Xmas decor. It looked awesome. All the drinks are $14 and I didn't like one and they wouldn't let me swap it or anything. It was $11 p/p to get in, so I'm not sure why they couldn't swap a drink. Id taken 1 sip. I clearly didn't like it. Oh well, nice otherwise.“

“Tried this place for the first time and loved it so much, went back the next night after my initial visit. Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was perfect. Also, fries were not too soggy and not too crunchy with the perfect seasoning. Very happy with the food! Also, the young lady at the counter was very polite and courteous.“

“Sublime! The food here is delicious. The hummuses are second to none! Tel Aviv right in the heart of St. Louis.“

“Worth recommending.“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“This is one of those places that makes me miss St. Louis. They offer great food, plenty of vegetarian options, and wonderful drinks. I’ll definitely visit again next time I’m in town!

Vegetarian options: Flatbread, Vegetable Salad, Bruschetta, Veggie Burger“

“T is a wonderful and attentive bar tender. She greeted myself and my crew upon arriving, and she made sure that we were good throughout our visit. She was very nice and cool and her knowledge of drinks and the food menu was great. She has a wonderful spirit and she made our time at the bistro a blast. The food was wonderful and the venue itself was very clean and well kept. The food is consistently good, which is a plus and I always have such a good time when I come.“

“Wow!! What a great experience! We stopped here to grab a late dinner after an exhausting fun filled day. The food was fantastic! Highly recommend the Reuben or the meatloaf sandwich. Frozen Irish coffee was so good and the hot Irish coffee strong but very good. Employees were super nice. Bathrooms super clean. We highly recommend and when we come back to St Louis, we will be back!“

“That Mel cajun pasta was probably the BEST pasta I ever had. Hands down. And that Brunch salad, OMG!! And I got 2 people coming tomorrow for brunch, whether to dine in or to go. Don't let me down Ms. Mel. Cause when you tell someone about something and they be like iont see it. But I know you won't! That food was "That Deal"!!Much love,Treena5-30-24“
