Although the server for our group of 8 was courteous and professional, my lunch entree was absolutely inedible! An Ahi Tuna sandwich that was so overcooked that it couldn’t be cut or sliced. It broke into tiny pieces when trying to cut a bite. It had no taste whatsoever. Tomato slices on the sandwich were more yellow than red.

My son, a Mizzou student, insists we go here every time we visit. Their pulled pork nachos are fantastic, and he craves them when he is home. Their tuna dish is amazing, as well as their Cuban sandwich. We have always had a great meal here. Give them a try!

Had a quick pleasant meal after a late work obligation. Exactly the calm atmosphere, food and service I needed before I had to drive. I will definitely return next time circumstances allow.
Outstanding food! First I want to talk about the Lemon Ginger flash fried calamari and drizzled in honey soy reduction. It was crispy and delicious. The sauce was a sweet wasabi aioli. Completely different from anything you have ever had and so tasty! Go get this!!! The special for the night was pineapple tacos and they were filled with grilled chicken, jalapeno slaw, candied almonds, pineapple sauce, feta cheese, cilantro, and honey soy. MAN!! So good! Addison's Pot Roast French Dip was flavorful and included Swiss cheese and caramelized onions all served on a hoagie sandwich roll. Now here's the kicker, au jus was blended with roasted garlic and port wine. I kid you not. What a great somewhat sweet taste. The sandwich was light on the roast beef but still tasty. Served with your choice one side. I had a cup of award winning chili and it was full of meat. Much better than most of the chilis I have tried in the area. Very good flavor but not sure about award winning. The atmosphere and ambience was beautiful with several paintings adorning the walls. Wonderful stone columns near the bar. The bar - large area with plenty of chairs and a couple of large TVs. Addison's has plenty of beer but also specialty drinks including several Martini flavors, one being called the French Maid Martini. Service was good though a bit more follow-up would be nice. All in all a terrific place to dine. Highly recommend.

Addison has been one of those rare places that never disappoints. Their sweet potatoes are hands down the best I have ever had. I do not know what magic they use in their broccoli side dish, but it is honestly the best broccoli on earth, and I am saying that seriously. And if you have not tried the Louis flat Cuban flatbread or the Mediterranean pizza, you are missing out. Each bite is packed with bold flavors and made with care.
This is the kind of place my friends and I choose when we are celebrating big life milestones or just bar hopping and need to recharge with really good food. It fits both moods perfectly. Their wall art is also something I truly enjoy. Please, never remove those pieces, at least not from the downtown location. They give the space a personality that feels alive.
I have also enjoyed their sister location for brunch and lunch. Always reliable, always tasty, and always welcoming. I will definitely miss the patio at the south side location, but I trust that whatever comes next will be just as exciting and excellent.
The servers are terrific. I genuinely enjoy coming to this bar because even when I walk in solo, they make me feel accompanied. And when I arrive with friends, they blend in so smoothly it feels like they are part of the group.
Thank you, Addison, for the food, the memories, and the good energy. You have built something truly special.

This review actually relates to the Addison's South location and summarizes two visits. They have a patio that we had lunch at when the weather was nice. I had a chicken pasta and my husband had the tuna dish. They were both fine. We went another evening and I ordered the fried calamari and my husband ordered the diablo shrimp pasta. Of the four meals we had, the diablo shrimp pasta was probably the best and the calamari the worst. The calamari was either dried out in the freezer or cooked too long. I ended up taking the breading off and trying to find pieces that actually looked like calamari rather than rawhide. The sauces they put on it sounded interesting when I looked at the menu but they didn't really go with each other or with calamari. The best in town is consistently at Chris McD's and I would say theirs ranks with any I've had in the U.S. The next time we go we may try their sandwiches or salads.
