“I have previously dined at Little Fox for dinner and drinks and I have always enjoyed it. Last weekend, I tried their brunch and it was just as good as their dinner menu. We tried multiple dishes, and they were all delightful. The Italian Benedict and Waffle & Lox were particularly amazing! The cocktails were amazing, as usual. The service was excellent, too. I highly recommend Little Fox.“
“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!“
“This is not exactly a place to go for a meal . It's a place to go for a beer and if you get hungry, they offer some yummy choices to go with your drink. Small with some tables and a bar, pool table, a neighborhood stop with that Smokey bar ambiance. Menus at the table, ordering at the bar. Burgers, hot dogs, and some surprise choices on menu like hummus, falafel, chopped salad. Portions small, prices fairly reasonable, service friendly. I enjoyed a small salad with a requested change of falafel instead of chicken. No problem and tastey with a hot honey squirt on top.If you're in the area , a nice stop for a beer and a nosh.“
“I have never had a culinary experience like what I had at Bulrush. Normally, a place of this quality (and you’d have to look to Michelin star restaurants to find a peer to Bulrush) is steeped in pretense and snobbery. The staff and atmosphere could not have been more welcoming. We were greeted immediately upon entry and given a welcome beverage. We were soon taken back to the kitchen and dining room.When you dine at Bulrush, you sit around the kitchen and watch Chef Rob Connoley and his team do their thing. It’s fun watching them work, but even more fun is Chef Rob’s explanation of each course. He personally introduces each dish and tells about the inspiration behind it. This particular night was very comfort food inspired and incredibly delicious. Highlights were the gnocchi with hog shank and blue corn grits with a variety of vegetables. In honor of the Lenten season (and a little bit of nostalgia), they even started with their take on a Filet O’ Fish!It was remarkable in every way and each bite was the new best thing I’d ever eaten. The drink pairings were also excellent and matched the restaurant’s mission of sourcing ingredients with a Missouri connection—even the French wine was from a region whose root stock can be traced back to Missouri. This couldn’t have been better and I highly recommend you make the effort to have dinner at Bulrush soon.“
“This is absolutely our favorite place for breakfast. The fresh bags are incredible and the gooey butter is out of this world. On a nice day we love sitting in their outside area. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for an authentic St Louis dining experience.“
“Everything on the menu sounded delicious so the decision wasn't easy. I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy with hash browns and sausage links. And a standard mimosa.Others in our party got french toast and pancakes.The food arrived quickly and everything looked and tasted amazing.The owner was making the rounds while we waited and is genuinely friendly and caring of their customers. And the host kept us updated on our wait time and how soon a table would be available.It was extremely busy the Sunday morning we went so I would highly recommend their online reservation service, which we used. This will cut down the amount of time you'll spend hanging out inside before being seated.Also note that parking is extremely limited near the location. They do have a parking lot across Gravois, if you're brave enough to risk your life against South City drivers. I would suggest parking on a nearby side street and walking a bit. You'll need to walk off your food afterwards anyway.Parking: The parking lot across the street has plenty of parking. But gambling with your life against South City drivers is a risky bet.“
“I must have come on an off day, but my eggs Benedict was not good. The hollandaise was broken, and one of the eggs was undercooked. The sourdough bread was fantastic, and the cappuccino was delicious. The potatoes and salad on the side was fine. I would come back but get a different entree. The person next to me got pancakes and they looked delicious.“
“By far me and my husband’s favorite place to get food hands down. We have eaten here many times and i have had just about everything on the menu at this point and I have not been disappointed with a single thing. By far my favorite thing here is the ribeye dinner meal for the price it’s wonderful and extremely filling. Being open late on weekends has come in clutch many times when it’s late and don’t want to cook for myself.“
“. Tried a couple of the daily specials and the filet - enjoyed it all except the cold green beans which appear with several entree choices. Also my dining companion felt the mashed potatoes were instant potatoes. Blendi was an excellent server. Cocktail menu is delightful. We are usually very happy with our experiences at Frazer's. Thank you!“
“Damn this place is fantastic. Date night, girls night, friends night...the atmosphere is sexy, the food great, and there's never been a drink that a single person we've been with wasn't completely wowed by. We love "Yellowbelly" on its own (especially for large groups/business lunches)- Lazy Tiger is a great addition to the place.“
“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.“
“We tried the popcorn chicken fries sprouts and the cauliflower. Everything was well seasoned and tasted great. Just wish the sides of veggies were offered in a half size. The cauliflower was very very well seasoned. They had a live band setting up. Hudai was the name of the band. They sounded good ?“
“This is one of my wife and I favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, the food is absolutely amazing and the staff is welcoming and truly make you feel like family. Jason is always amazing and the best in our eyes. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday dinner and time.“
“These beings are so kind and accommodating. Always ready for a good laugh and down to earth. I have never waited more than 8 minutes for incredible food and the outdoor patio is amazing. I love the ambiance, the many options and the staff! Prices are very reasonable for what you get and less pretentious than surrounding coffee places. Also, the coffee is the best around this area and you dont get ripped off. They're not marketing to south county hipsters, but I am so thankful to have such a genuine and authentic coffee house (not coffee shop) so close to home.“
“The food, while it looked great, was totally BLAND! Gumbo had no flavor salt barely helped it. The crab cake sandwich was super mushy with nothing but filled. After one bite the patty just fell apart. The fries were good. The band did what they were supposed to do. The service was super slow and everyone’s food came out separately and so far between that we had to ask the waiter a few times about our food and drinks. It took about 20-30 minutes to get 3 shots. By time we got them it was time to head out the door and the band was over.“
“I rarely give 5 stars because there is always room for improvement.That being said, my entire experience was amazing! They remember what great service and a well-prepared meal mean.There was thought, time, and care taken with my food all for my eating experience.Very nicely done.For me personally you get 4¾ ?“

“I would give this place 4.5 if that was an option, the food was delicious, the best thing in my opinion were the sides of the proteins, the carrots were probably the best ones I’ve had amazing, potatoes amazing and cauliflower very tasty. The meals as I said, 5/5!. The whole experience and service was maybe 3.5/5. The timing of the meal felt at first rush, we got the first course and we still had basically full cocktails, no much mention on the wines and pairings (we ended sharing a couple of glasses of wine we picked out the menu and turned out good). Despite my complaints I recommend this place, the food was good and with the changes coming with the a la carte menu, I’m excited to try other dishes.“
“I have been to Old Rock House a few times for EDM shows. It's very casual and fun. There are two floors which I love - you can be in the pit downstairs or hang upstairs for a more chill vibe and there is even some seating. There is also an outdoor area where you can get some air. They keep the temperature inside very balanced, though it gets hotter as the night goes on like most places. A bar on each floor which keeps the wait for a drink very short. They are really strict about the one drink per person rule (like if you're getting a drink for a friend, the friend has to be physically there too). I don't mind the rule but I saw others get a little grouchy about it. There is a $10 minimum. They have a great selection of liquor though nothing super fancy. Drink prices are normal and affordable for a music venue. The bartenders are super fun, especially the one named "Smash." I often see staff engaging with patrons and even dancing to the music, making the vibe really fun and welcoming. The crowds there, the times I have been there, are usually fun and polite albeit drunk. I have been offered drugs there a couple of times but no one was ever aggressive about it. There is staff everywhere so it feels safe. The crowd tends to be MESSY though - the STICKIEST floors! The bathrooms are a downside because there are only 2 stalls and the restroom is small overall. It's usually well stocked, though. The sound is pretty good for such a casual venue, too. I don't ever feel like it's muffled or too loud, the volume is balanced and it sounds good from both the bottom and the top floor. Lighting wise, they need more lasers! Parking can be a challenge at times (depending on when you get there) but there is a pretty big lot and a small area of street parking.“

“We had the pleasure of attending a wedding reception at The Dogwood. Completely unassuming from the outside, this space is sure to wow even the most hard to please guest. The main level boasts a spacious dining room with a beautiful bar. It was cozy without feeling overwhelming. The decor was absolutely gorgeous everything has a modern aesthetic. There is a grand staircase leading to the second level. This space is an indoor/outdoor set up. Guests could filter in and out. There were three fire pits and ample seating on the patio. Perfect for a chilly evening. The bar on the second level was a little smaller, but highly functional. The team were so hospitable and friendly. The bartenders made quick work of keeping drinks full and the party going. The food was absolutely delicious! Cocktail hour consisted of a variety of appetizers including toasted ravioli, mini egg rolls, wontons, and chicken bites. Just what you need in your belly while consuming alcohol. Our meal will rate very high on my list of favorite wedding reception meals. The quality of the ingredients was reflected in the execution of each dish. Everything was perfectly done. This was a fantastic experience! Hoping I have more friends getting married soon so we can go back!“
“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.“
“I am a fan of Rated Test Kitchen! No complaints! Chef JR is an amazing chef. Bri has amazing customer service. The spirit staff does great with cocktails. And all the sous chefs are polite and welcoming. If you are local or visiting Rated Test Kitchen should be on your list.“
“The Bellweather! Awesome neighborhood (close to Lafayette Square). The Okabe was ungodly delicious. The chew on the al dente noodles was absolutely perfect. Crisp, delightful tofu, incredible peanut sauce and veggies. So, so good. Really cool building and vibe. Service was top-notch. I will absolutely be back! ❤️?“
“Delicious catfish and spaghetti served hot and fresh in clean space with comfortable patio seating. Nice strong drinks. Terrific, fast and personable service. Mature crowd, great throwback music; no thundercats makes for pleasant atmosphere.“
“I really enjoyed my experience here. I just had breakfast and it was great. The food is excellent and service is fantastic. I plan to come back here and share this place with my wife.If you're in the area and hungry, I would suggest checking it out!“
“All Rolled Up! Now this is a concept I can get behind. Us St. Louis Foodie went to eat at Urban Eats on Meramec. Love this Food Hall. There are many options for all palates and dietary restrictions.Stopped by All Rolled Up owned by Bryan White and Terry Coleman for the veggie egg roll for lunch and the cheesecake egg roll for dessert. From savory to sweet, this spot puts just about anything and everything in an egg roll. Love the concept!Stop by and give them some love! You'll love Urban Eats!“
“We found it near impossible to find a place to eat around this area and tried here.The food was phenomenal! BBQ pulled pork was delicious, mac and cheese tasted similar to KFC (good), and the sweet potatoe fries were amazing. Service was fast and nice.Perfect location with great food, can't beat it. Prices were very fair.“
“A very chill and mellow atmosphere with very talented artists, quality cocoktails, and attentive customer service. Perfect spot for a date or a solo treat to self. $15 to sit by the bar, $20 to sit at a table in front of the stage. Decent food, nothing to write home about. All in all, an amazing experience. I’d love to come back.“
“The food here is memorable! I love the ultimate egg Benedict gluten-free bread. The coffee was good, the vibes were warm. I gave service a 4 because a glass of water was forgotten and we had to change someone down for coffee. But they were kind about it and responded quickly. Maybe just need to check in with customers a tab bit more.“
“Whew! Once again, Blood and Sand delivers. We grabbed some apps off the a la carte menu and of course cocktails before a dinner reservation. Let me tell you, this place is incredible. We were the only people in there and were treated as royalty. The tater tots are one of the most delicate, delectable foods I have ever tasted. The outside is fried to crispy perfection with the inside being light and smooth. Paired with the aioli, this is a match made in heaven. We also got the kangaroo tartare because we were feeling exploratory. The baguette it came with was both crispy and chewy, absolutely incredible. The kangaroo itself was certainly interesting. I am glad I tried it. There was an interesting gaminess(I liked, my partner did not) and along with the quail egg and capers it was a treat. Compliments of the chef we also got an incredible bacon salad to taste. It was crispy and acidic. I must admit, an unlikely pairing for bacon, but they certainly executed. Of course, the cocktails, as always, are up there with the best of them. I got a Big Poppa which is a bourbon and mezcal drink. Two of my favorite things combined into one, how could I say no? It was wonderfully balanced. The drink was not over powered either spirit, and still served as being both light and refreshing, it almost gave off tiki vibes despite not having rum. A shock to me when I received it, albeit, pleasant. My partner got a Limon y sal. Let me tell you, this is going on my list of top cocktails I have ever tasted. The kiwi syrup paired with the tequila and plum wine was phenomenal. The perfect punch of sweetness, offset by the earthy flavor of the agave. That is a cocktail I could drink all day. The last cocktail we shared was one inspired by Kid Cudi, and an original of the bartender. A gin based cocktail with hibiscus. Much more on the earthy this cocktail once again exceeded all expectations. Nice and frothy from the egg white, the hibiscus perfectly balanced out the sweetness. Not to mention, the bitters atop the froth was a beautiful and delicate touch. It was my partner's birthday and the bartender hooked us up. He gave us each a bit of pineapple amaro. And, after some conversation he even made us an experimental cocktail for their summer menu on the house. It was fantastic. We were transported straight to the beach. The glassware was an amazing glass tiki mug. The drink had notes of pineapple with the funkiness of the rum. He says he is still perfecting it, but I like it as is. My partner and I both very much appreciate the hospitality shown to us by Blood and Sand this evening. We have been multiple times, but we both agreed we need to get back soon for the full 5 course dinner.“
“Dark outside building nobody to take order you stand therr waitress go to the kitchen didnt come backI heard good food but that standing around waitingNo call in numberHelp huh hope they make it better I was ask do I need a menuThan she walked away to look like kitchen. I left“
“Parking: It’s the best place to eat breakfast in the whole world . The service was excellent that Lila Pace is absolutely amazing hard worker?every time we come to St. Louis we have to go to eat at uncle Bill’s for breakfast. Love the food, service, it’s absolutely a 5 star restaurant.“
“Date Order Feb 23 Fri. on phone for me to pick up 430pm. Order was on time , the servicer was friendly and caring. However when I got home , my Order fish bits cost 12.99 , had lots of grease coming off of them. I let them cool off . I started to eat them they were not cooked all the way. I ended up throwing them away. I had them before the were really good. Also the box was on 1/2 full. I must have just gotten a bad cook or the fry was not at the right temp. It did leave a bad taste in mine mouth. It was be along time before I Order again.Parking: Could use a few more spots. However lots of arkingWheelchair accessibility: Flat ground easy to get In“
“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.“
“Mix Grill and Wings is a fantastic American and Mediterranean restaurant. They offer a delicious variety of grilled meats and flavorful wings, combining the best of both cuisines. It's a must-visit spot for a tasty and diverse dining experience!“
“Celebrated NYE at Pop Sparking wine bar and restaurant. This a quaint interesting food venue in Lafayette Square across from Lafayette Park. Part of the Baileys food family of restaurants. I experienced a champagne cocktail for a kickoff to the new year. Pop's offers board's, small, plates and large plates For dessert you can go upstairs to Bailey's Chocolate Bar desserts are not on the menu for Pop's. A new experience for my next food experience . I ordered the pheasant ragu, a large plate. Lynn ordered the brie small plate. For a food starter we had the brie cheese plate. All of the food was delicious. I forgot about pheasant being a small bird with small bones not too different from some fish you may order. This is an expected thing. Dinner at Pop's is not just a dinner but an pleasant event to experience Treat yourself to a special night.“
“Molly's is such a gorgeous brunch place! The interior was charming and intimate with captivating art sprawled across the walls. The service was alright and nothing worth noting; they took our order, served our food, and gave us the bill. It did take a while to be seated as no one was at the front when we arrived. As for food, my boyfriend and I ordered The Hangover and the French Toast Bake. The Hangover was a big highlight, absolutely no regrets. A warning for the French Toast Bake -- this dish was definitely made for those who have a sweet tooth! It may be overwhelming for some as my boyfriend found it to be too much, but I found the sweetness to be nicely balanced by the bourbon sauce. The prices were decent for the area, and an automatic gratuity charge was added. It was an overall good dining experience.“
Brewery • $$
“I invited my family on a brewery tour at UCBC's location in the Grove earlier this month and it was a huge hit! Adam was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking us behind the scenes and sharing many interesting facts about the brewery, their brewing process, and even the overall history of brewing in St. Louis. Fascinating stuff, even for those in our group who aren't big beer drinkers. We also got to taste several beers at the bar afterward, and Adam selected limited releases for us to try, which was a fun treat and got us out of our comfort zones. My group stayed for dinner and everyone loved their orders: the pepperoni pizza, chicken sandwich, currywurst, and barley bowl were all delicious. The bierhall is a perfect place to spend a chilly evening and we felt so welcomed by Adam's hospitality. Highly recommend the tour and tasting experience, or just stopping in for a pint with dinner anytime!“
“As an Onion Ring "Snob" (as I have been called) I was told to head to Firehouse Bar and Grill and try theirs.I was not expecting this mound of goodness!!!!Now I do like mine a bit thinner but they were very goodThe Buffalo Chicken Wrap with some Loaded Red Potatoes and the Philly Cheese Steak also very goodThis place is owned by local Firefighters .our server Daphne was very attentive!!!Love to Support our First Responders!!!We will be back!!“
