“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ“

“Great burgers! I LOVED my TriPPPy burger which has a pineapple chutney and bacon jam. You will want extra napkins with that one.? My husband built his own burger to get just what he wanted and enjoyed his burger. They also have veggie options, but these carnivores did not explore them.“

“Amazing! Must try!“

“This is the best burger in the city. I will die on this hill lol“

“🔥 One Stop. All Flavor. Pierce Creek Delivers 🔥 If you’re looking for a true one-stop shop with incredible quality, Pierce Creek absolutely delivers. This place is so much more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You’ve got a butcher shop, bakery, deli, soup starters, a bar, and a full restaurant all in one location. It’s the kind of place you can pop into for one thing and leave with five. What really sets them apart is their beef—raised on the owners’ ranch, completely grass-fed with no hormones or steroids. And trust me, you can taste the difference. The atmosphere is spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out hot, fresh, and amazingly quick. Whether you’re in the mood for something casual or a more elevated dining experience, their menu has you covered. I had the mushroom and Swiss double smash burger on a potato bun, and wow—it was packed with flavor. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and everything just worked together beautifully. I paired it with a side of tallow fries that were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of rich flavor. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.“

“Food was GREAT! Loved the look of the place, service was awesome. Going back for lunch soon. This visit I had the burger and onion rings, I can hardly wait to try something else.“

“My wife and I, wayward travelers from Arkansas in town to see the TMBG show at the Pageant, stumbled in out of the pouring rain to enjoy the fabled floats. They did not disappoint! A special shout out to Darcy whose warmth and hospitality made this particularly memorable. Thank you Darcy!“

“I go to the Shack at least once a month. I was there recently and received excellent food and service. Jennifer was great server, nothing was too much trouble. She helped move all of our coats and bags in order to change our seats. She was cheerful and helpful. I bring my out-of-town guests here often. The menu includes healthy,creative, delicious entrees, and as well as gluten free options.“

We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“Stopped by today 1st time. Staff very hospitable. Ordered the mac and cheese dog. it was just ok. The only thing really good on it was the bacon. Mac and cheese tasted and looked like it came from a box. The pretzel bun was dried out in spots. wasnt impressed at all for a 12 plus dollar hot dog. Been better off going to QT and getting one of their dogs.“

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy“

Greg, Louis, and Eddie who were working the smoker when we left were so nice, told us all the ins and outs of the place, and truly take pride in their work. That pride is reflected in the delicious meal you’ll get! 10/10 recommend!“

“Hands down best food we had on our entire vacation! Fall-off-the-bone BBQ chicken, best friend catfish I think I've ever had, and OMG you have to try the baked beans!!!!! Fabulous, welcoming, friendly staff and environment. Highly recommend, and will definitely be stopping by every time we pass through St. Louis (we're from Texas, but travel a few times a year).“

“First time at Mac’s tonight! We met Mac at the register and he was so kind and gave great suggestions! The food was delicious and while we are sad we didn’t get to try the onion dip (it was sold out!), we’ll definitely be back! The games to play at the table were a huge hit for our son. Don’t change a thing, it’s totally working.“

“Jade did an excellent job. Very polite and friendly“

“Your gluten free menu is the best we have had at a restaurant in the metro area. Can’t wait for you guys to come to Saint Charles county.“

“OMG the burgers were amazing... My hubby was craving a blue cheese burger and we decided to try them out. At first we were gonna leave because we didn't see the kinda burgers on the menu we wanted, but the waiter stopped us and said he can make it any way you want it.. So we stayed, He was right, them burgers came out juice, fresh and the grilled taste was amazing. Our waffles fries were a little overcooked, but the wonderful chez soften them up. Please try them, you will love them ask them to cook your waffle fries a little soft, and you will love love love them.. I gave the atmosphere a 2 star not because the inside wasn't comfy, it was nice clean and friendly, but OMG there was heavy metal music over the loud speaker.. I'm talking about bang your head music. Now I'm an R&B girl, but don't mind a little different genre every once in a while, but that music was debilitating. When you sit down to eat, you want some feel good tunes, and that was not it... I did love EAT Crow try their burgers.. they wont disappoint..“

“This was such a nice quiet place tucked away. The meal pictured was just 1 meal we split in half between the two of us. So it's safe to say they don't skimp on the portions. Our wait staff was very friendly and quick with our service. Would very much recommend this for those looking for a smaller town/mom and pop type atmosphere.“

“🥰GREAT service and food. My wife and I had the fish and chips. It was one of the best we have had.“

“Pali grill is my favorite place to eat to lift my spirits. The decor in the restaurant is fun and beautiful, everyone working there is friendly and kind, everything on the menu is delicious (get. the. pali. sauce.). I truly can't decide if I like the chicken sandwich or the gyro more. They're both delicious. I tried the onion rings for the first time today and they were perfect. Favorite comfort food.“

“We ate here earlier today and it was so good! The wings were fried but not at all greasy. The gyro was so big my student could barely pick it up. Everything was very fresh. This place is a hidden gem for sure!“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Great food, great staff. The tacos…perfection.“

“I am impressed. I got the pineapple jalapeno burger, and it was the perfect level of spicy. wife thoroughly enjoyed her food also.“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Awesome food and very warm on a cold day. Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“I always get the number 2 (2 burgers and waffle fries) and a cup of queso. Always delicious!! It's pricey, my number 2 meal and cup of queso is roughly $15. I've tried the key lime shake, also delicious! And the customer service is always on point. It's out of my way, but the customer service alone makes it worth the drive.“

“My new favorite place to eat. Good food and good customer service. . We eat here every Friday.“

“A friend and I dined outdoors on Tuesday evening on the upper deck. We had a fabulous waitress! Laura was truly one of the best waitresses we have ever had from any restaurant! She was prompt, helpful, fun, etc and made our dinner truly memorable!“

“On our first trip to STL we wanted to try a Missouri style pizza and this little shop was right down the road from our Vrbo. The lunch specials were a great value. Our family ordered a few different items and we all sampled them. Everything we tried was tasty. Great job!“

“Everything is fantastic. Really enjoyed Onion Rings“

“What can I say but WOW! This place is amazing! I went in expecting it to be like any other sandwich shop, but I was blown away. The owner is so nice and lovely to chat with, and boy does she make a mean sandwich. I got the Crown Vic and a tortilla wrap and I gotta say, I will be coming back for another one“

“Food was delicious and service was great. I wasn't always impressed with this location, but they have improved so much in the last year.“
