“The current owners, Colleen and Bill are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. We had a baby shower there and they were very accommodating. The food, service and atmosphere were great. Can’t say enough!“

“What a great find. We've been twice and had Madison and Avery for servers. The best service for sure. Our food was top of the line. It's fast becoming our new favorite restaurant. One problem, though. It's hard to make a decision on what to order. Everything is awesome. I could make a meal just from their French fries. Keep up the great work. See ya soon!“

“Had resv for 4:00 on a Sat, got there at 3:25 asked to sit at table to get drinks, told we could, then someone else said no since r resv wasn’t until 4:00. Said we could sit at bar but all tables in bar were taken! Freezing cold inside, put 7 of us at a table that would hold 10-12 people had to scoot down to other end to try and get warm. Food finally arrived way later than those around us! No one in the rest. hardly but we couldn’t sit at a table till 4:00. Not very friendly about it! Food not impressed with! Will not go back, done!“

“Everything is good here! Cauliflower is the BEST!!! 😋“

“This is the most favorite roast beef sandwich of our whole family. We are there so often the friendly staff knows our names. When our younger son and his family fly in from California, their first stop after leaving the airport is Lions Choice. We have their “ Bon Voyage” at Lions choice right before they fly back to California. We love this place. Always friendly. Always fast. Always delicious! Always a winner!“

“I had lunch at Halftime yesterday and the food was wonderful. The special of the day was a Smashburger, homemade chips and a salad. I also shared some southwest chicken rolls as an appetizer. The southwest chicken rolls are always great, but I really loved the Smashburger and homemade chips. The chips had a really tasty seasoning on them. Apparently, this meal was a special only and not on the everyday menu, but it should be. Everything was delicious and our server was great.“

“I honestly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I found it while Googling for a place to eat a couple months ago. I've ordered food or dined inside about ten times since. My wife says im addicted. The country fried steak...fantastic. The ribs....stupid good. The mucho nachos...pure ecstasy. I told a waitress there once I was going to see if I can get the nachos with the meat from the ribs instead of beef. I swear if they put that on the menu, they could charge $50 and im still buying it. I'll continue eating here because the food is incredible, portions are plenty, and the waitresses are always friendly.“

“I enjoyed my first visit! The upstairs seating next to the window was very nice. Our server Pattyn was very sweet and attentive. I enjoyed the club and white chicken chili. Very yummy 😋 I hope to come back and try more menu items.“

“Stopped on our way back from vaca. Loved the food and the service.“

“We normally go to another place for happy hour but the last time we went, we had terrible service so I days NO MORE - & that led us to Big A's. It was perfect! Our server Chelsea was engaging, funny, attentive & informative. She helped make our night so much more fun! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thanks for such a great 1st Happy Hour at Big A's Chelsea!! It would not have been as much fun without you!“

“Great breakfast. Burgers. Lunch. Friendly staff.“

“We had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner at Mellow Mushroom and boy, did we choose a great place! They had us all set up for 25 people beautifully when we arrived and was quickly introduced to our amazing server, Katie. Between her and her crew of helpers (for lack of a better word), we were taken care of so well. Tara, the bartender also tended to us with quick and excellent service. The general manager Ahmad checked on us several times to be sure we were happy and everyone was taken care of. Food and drinks were quickly and deliciously served and enjoyed. The atmosphere is so fun and upbeat. I don’t think we had one problem (except us being 7 minutes late - so sorry about that!!). We go to Mellow Mushroom as a couple and a family and now we can add as a wedding party and extended family. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“We hosted our 25-year High School reunion at Barrels Taphouse & Grill, and it could not have gone better! The atmosphere was perfect — fun, relaxed, and spacious enough for everyone to mingle and reconnect. A huge shoutout to our amazing servers, Lauren and Abby, who went above and beyond all night! They kept everything running smoothly, handled our big crowd with total professionalism, and made sure no one’s glass was ever empty. And a special thank-you to Anne, for being so accommodating and easy to work with from the very start. Her support and hospitality made planning the event effortless. If you’re looking for a great place to host an event — or just grab some great food and drinks — Barrels Taphouse & Grill is the place to go!“

“We found them on Google, as we're traveling across country with our golden retriever. We met Jimmy our bartender/server as we sat on their beautiful outdoor seating area. He was a great host with great recommendations. One of their regulars couldn't help but come say hello to our fur baby. Highly recommend stopping in and enjoying a good time.“

“I took a motorcycle ride out to this place and had a great experience. They had a live band, The Portholes, playing excellent cover songs from the '70s—songs I hadn't heard in years and had almost forgotten about. I ordered the Boathouse Special Burger and the Jerk Tacos, and both were outstanding.
Even though they appeared to be short-staffed, the service was excellent. The atmosphere was fun, festive, and welcoming. Whether you're looking for a destination for a group ride or just a place to stop on your own, this is definitely worth the trip. Highly recommended.“

“I enjoy their Sunday brunch. It's open to the public. Great atmosphere and service. The views over the golf course are very pretty. They do take reservations.

Parking: On a busy Sunday, it can be difficult to find a parking space.

Dietary restrictions: Their Sunday buffet allows you to choose foods to meet your dietary restrictions, but I didn't see any specific accommodations being made otherwise. For example, no gluten-free waffles or Danish were offered.“

“Hotel is a little dated but they say renovations are coming. The hotel, rooms, and stay however were fantastic. Very quiet, clean, excellent AC, wonderful custom-made omelets for breakfast. I was able to find an amazing deal and this was so much better of a stay experience than my typical stays at Holiday Inn Express at effectively the same price. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.“

“Met up with a friend today at one of my favorite brunch spots, First Watch. We went to the one located on Streets of St. Charles. Their fresh food, juices, and eclectic menu makes it so you can always try something new. They have specialties each month, and I suggest you go before the end of February and try their barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl!! Today I had the morning meditation juice and the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was a party in my mouth! The braised beef barbacoa mixed with the eggs, beans, and other seasonings. My friend opted for the Italian Inspired omelet. You can put a reservation in online prior to arrival on busy days (like Saturday). The wait was not long this morning, and the food makes the wait worth it. One thing I like about Fresh Watch is the continuity across the chain in that regardless of which restaurant you choose the food is always good and fresh. Great service. Stop in and check them out…try something new!“

“Had an amazing pizza and great service for our work Christmas party tonight. Thank you for being so accommodating to our large party!!“

“The bacon cheeseburger wontons were a disappointment. They didn't look near as yummy as the ones in the commercial, and I couldn't even see or taste the cheese. They were still good, but not as good as expected. I also ordered the lime chicken and rice. The chicken was perfect, but the rice was dry. I doubt that I will order either dish again.“

“Everything is always on point and very tasty. Lori is , by far, my favorite bartender. What can I say., I probably go more cause she is there! Their wings are the best and the Blue cheese 🧀 Rocks! St Charles location is by far the best!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere! Would recommend to anybody.“

“Allie was wonderful. she was very patient and accommodating to our large group of 25. The whole staff was extremely helpful and hands on which made for a smooth, exceptional experience for our family. Thank you!“

“We got the catfish fritters, fries and hush puppies, it was more than enough for two people. The food was decent, fries could have been cooked a little longer. Prices are reasonable. They were busy so we waited about 40 min to get our food. They only take cash.“

“Good company lively crowd, and always good food 🥘“

“the casino is obvs a fun place but this restaurant looked and smelled like a school cafeteria. walked passed people eating and the food was like from a concession stand. to be fair I didn't order so idk how it tasted. and concession food is fine if that's what u looking for (like to feed some kids) we just weren't in that moment.“

“food was okay nothing special but we wont go back. 51.00 for 4 people burger & fries with 2 drinks. we waited at least 20 minutes & when I checked the bag, I asked Where are the cheese curds And they said they weren't on the order but i definitely ordered them so they said Do you want us to drop some in But as much as I spent , and as long as I waited , they wanted me to pay for those too , and I said , no , just forget it.“

“Good times 😁😁😁😁😁“

“Brittany was not only absolutely stunning, she was holding down bartender role,greater, and server. There were at least 9 tables and 5 different people at the bar. FANTASTIC JOB. The wings were crispy and buffalo sauce tasty. A little small. The fried were golden and cheese sauce was fire.“

“The atmosphere was delightful & the coffee was superb. Brunch was very flavorful & satisfying. Excited to visit again soon.“

“My first time here. The place is outstanding across the board ! Last time I had a steak this good, it cost me 3X as much. Clean, neat lil place with excellent service, Highly recommend this lil tavern.“

“Walking down Main St on a beautiful evening and the patio caught our eye. The "dungeon" basement is cool and the bartender was really sweet. Having a fire when it got a bit chilly was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be recommending to friends and coming back for dinner soon.“

“Food was good, service was good. Music was really loud and not what I consider relaxing dinner music. I decided I wanted a piece of cheesecake to go after she gave us the receipt in the folder and she never came back for me to tell her. I asked another server who directed me to the bar. Ordered and it took ten minutes to get it. Normally I wouldn’t mind but we had my MIL with us in her wheelchair. It came and was the Tiniest piece of cheesecake I’ve ever been served for $10 😳. I would recommend skipping dessert and go buy a whole cheesecake at Dierbergs next door for the same price and less wait.“

“Okay….. so every time I come to a Waffle House and order a waffle, my expectations are pretty low, because….. it’s a Waffle House. Decent food, decent prices and you always know what to expect (service is usually good, too).

But at this place, apparently they have the “new” waffle irons. I ordered a waffle and it was fantastic!!! Light, fluffy, THICK, tasty! Definitely worth a stop for breakfast!

Heide was our server and she was friendly, courteous and heppful!

Next time we pass through St. Louis, this will be a place we stop!

The single best improvement at a Waffle House!!!!“

“I have heard about this place for years! It is as awesome as everyone said!!!“

“This is our favorite location! We go for every birthday and special occasion!! Yee -Haw!!!!“

“Unbelievable brunch. Omelettes and biscuits the best ever!“
