“We stopped in during the Christmas Candlelight walk. We were not fortunate to know in advance so we did not have dinner, however, the staff was incredible. The ambiance was awesome and we can't wait to go back this spring to enjoy dinner outside!“

“Excellent French Dip. The meat was so tender and perfect. Excellent service.“

“Best cod fish sandwich I’ve ever had.“

“We eat there about once a week, very good service decent prices.“

“Great food and drinks, I would hands down recommend this place to everyone! I had the walleye with onion rings, it brought me back to my childhood in ND. It was so delicious tender and flakey, best onion rings, and so much food. I didn’t walk away hungry or feeling gross from the fried food, super light and crispy breading. The barrel aged manhattan was awesome!! 10 out of 10 would eat here again and make sure others come try it too!!!“

“My review is limited to one particular dish - The All-You-Can-Eat Catfish Dinner. Three visits, the staff were always friendly, and the fish was always good. I'm a fan of the hush-puppies... Wonderfully sweet, not the jalapeño mix that has become to popular for its own good. Always seems to be quiet, the staff to customer ratio has always guaranteed a full beverage glass without having to ask ?“

“Great Service! Great food! Great people!“

“They have the best double cheese burgers and onion rings in Washington. I love the convenience of calling my order in then going through the drive thru 15 minutes later and they have it ready for me when I pull up. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat.“

“Very nice people great food 👍“

“We ate here today for the first time. we were visiting from St. Louis and the food was 10/10. Delicious! The service was amazing. Everyone was so nice! I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!! Awesome!!!“

“I have had nothing but fun times at The Sand Bar. Especially the crazy event nights I have attended. Literally got to ride a mechanical bull for my first time. Also of course they had coyote ugly night and that was a blast. Nothing like being able to experience what you saw on a movie and for me a movie as a kid. To top it off every Friday night is karaoke and than let me not forget they have dart boards, beer pong, and other entertainment things to do. Definitely recommend and I promise you it will be a blast.“

“My wife and I go here often. Not a huge menu but the food is pretty good. We usually get a cheeseburger basket with fries and a banana split. The staff is always friendly and there are scenic views of the lake. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it.“

“Went here after looking up local diners on google, as I try to support family style restaurants when I travel. Walked in and was greeted right away and told to sit where we wanted. Place was pretty full with locals all chatting across tables like a community of friends. I ordered a “three little piggies” omelette and my friend ordered the chicken fried steak. The meal was on our table in under 10 minutes even though the place was packed. My omelette was stuffed to overflowing with meats and the chicken fried steak was almost the size of the plate. My friend also ordered a cinnamon roll to go. When I say this thing was big, that is an understatement. It was the size of a large to go box. Friendly staff, homelike atmosphere, large portions, nicely priced and very tasty. Overall, a great place to eat! Stop by this place if you’re ever in Washington, MO!!!“

“From the road, Defiance Ridge Winery looks like just another winery. But inside is where the magic happens.  Defiance Ridge, they get it. They understand that sometimes, you want more than just a wine tasting. You want an experience.

And what an experience it was.  We got a table by the fireplace – and the view was beautiful, even on the gray winter day. The friendly staff guided us through the menu, which, bless their hearts, had something for everyone, even a gluten-free fella like myself.

I'll admit, I felt a pang of sadness when I saw those golden fries go by – a crispy, salty forbidden fruit. But they had more gluten-free options than most places I go to. And my burger? A masterpiece.  Juicy, cooked to perfection, is the kind of burger that makes you close your eyes and savor the moment. And their coleslaw was nothing that I'd seen before but delicious! My friend, equally delighted with their own plates, pulled pork sandwiches, and chicken salad on a fresh croissant, declared it a unanimous win. Oh, and let's not forget dessert -French beignets with the raspberry coulis.  My wife, a woman of discerning taste, declared the beignets transcendent. And the wine?   The real surprise was the Raisin Ranch –  my favorite choice.  My friend bought a bottle to pair with salmon.

Defiance Ridge, you've won me over.  This isn't just a winery; it's a destination. A place where the food is as captivating as the view, and the company is just as good as the wine. Consider this a standing reservation – I'll be back.“

“We ordered a bunch of catfish for a birthday for take out and it was amazing!!“

“They do so much for the community and the food is top notch. I recently had the potato soup and it was amazing! Also, don’t get the OG platter unless you want to be full before your meal comes 🤌🏻🤌🏻 🤤🤤.“

“I recommend the fried pickles! This appetizer is one of my family’s favorites along with the brew bites. My family frequent the Pacific Brew Haus to enjoy dinner and cold beer. However, lately they have been out of the beer I drink. The last three out of four times we have been there they haven’t had the cider. I was told tonight that IPA replaced it? IPA and Cider are very different. Are you out of the cider and not getting it back? Please consider at least carrying the cider in a bottle if not on tap! My family and I enjoy coming there and hated walking out tonight to go to another establishment that does have the cider.🍺“

“10/10 this place is great! Next time I come I am trying the bison burger!! The staff were amazing and when I mentioned this was my first time here a lovely host named Diane showed me around the different rooms and all the rustic decor. My waitress was so nice and I tried her recommendation of the bread pudding and it was delicious! This is a great place to host parties or gatherings for events and I was informed there is no room rental fee for their large room where they can also set up a buffet for your guests.“

“Just ordered a couple of Angelo’s. Brought them home and the bread was very hard! Haven’t had this in a while, usually very good but we had to peel most of the bread off.“

“I was there Tuesday night having some drinks with my girlfriend. The bartender took about 30 minutes to get to our table so we could finally order a drink. Then my girlfriend went to go use the restroom and saw the bartender smoking weed in there. We just moved out to Foristell and we were looking forward to being able to go have drinks and eat at this place with friends. I'm very disappointed.“

“Great night, the best live music and a fantastic bar tender, Mallory! She made the best Father’s Day present a cruise ship Pina Colada! Thanks for the great memories for a Father Daughter night out.“

“I had a roast beef combo today and a cup of the chicken rice soup. The roast beef was excellent as usual, but that soup was GOURMET quality !! My compliments to the chef!“

“Me and my 6 year old went out for lunch and had the best experience. Waitress was super attentive and food was delicious !“

“Colton's offers good food at reasonable prices. We ordered steak and the smoked sirloin. The steak was excellent,well prepared, and generous size. I like the new apple coleslaw side dish. We also enjoy the Sante Fe egg roll appetizer.

Parking: Large parking lot, level and easy to access entrance.“

“Excellent service every time we have come in. Love the rustic decor. Good food with some vegetarian options and they carry NA beer, yay! They have a small stage for occasional music and karaoke every Thursday night!“

“dude the food was goooood“

“Food was great and the atmosphere was clean. The hostess Melissa was super sweet and kind. She made me and my friend feel very welcome, checked up on us multiple times, and had a lovely conversation all while still busting her butt cleaning the dining area!“

“You wake up, drenched in a cold nightmare sweat. You are in Washington Applebee's, and that's where you belong .

This is not your average, everyday Applebee's. This is eating GOOD in what we would call a microcosm of pure NEIGHBORHOOD. No matter HOW many timelines I jump across, this Applebee's is still the exact same. I also love sitting at the bar and shooting spitballs.“
