50 Best American Restaurants near Cottleville

“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!“

“Hosted a friends birthday party in the back room at the Rack House. My friend is gluten free and we had the most delicious gluten free meatballs! All of the food was wonderful. Staff was amazing and attentive. Highly recommend for dinner, or hosting event!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Big thanks to Bemos for giving my Mom a wonderful 90th birthday party! Special mention to Colton who helped us put up the higher decor and helped get the room ready for the party. Shay our waitress was the best and catered to our orders efficiently and promptly with a sweet smile. We really appreciate your service and delicious food to make my Moms event special! ☺️❤️🎂👍“

“Wish I had taken photos but my server was great timing was beautiful and everything was delicious. No complaints and very personable and welcoming environment!

The manager was very engaging and thanking the customers for coming in!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary here, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I called ahead and asked the staff if they could help me surprise my wife for our anniversary dinner. All I told them was, “I’m planning to bring my wife here for our first time to celebrate our 3-year anniversary. Please help me make it a memorable experience for her. She doesn’t know about this.” From that moment on, the staff went above and beyond for us. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. They spent time with me on the phone suggesting ideas and helping plan the entire evening. As soon as we walked through the front doors, we were greeted with warm smiles and escorted to our table. While my wife was admiring the beautiful and cozy atmosphere, the staff gave me the reassuring “we got you” signal, allowing me to sit back, relax, and enjoy the night with her. The evening turned out even better than I expected. Every moment left my wife amazed, and she had a smile on her face the entire night. Thank you to all of the amazing staff members for making our anniversary so special. We officially found our new favorite place for dinner dates. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you again, Annie Gunn's!“

“We go to Yellowstone Cafe every time we are passing through St. Louis. The Walleye fish dinner is their speciality but all their fish dinners are excellent. In our party our order consisted of Crabcakes, Frog legs, and of course the Walleye.
Three nights a week they offer a kids special platter for 99 cents! What a bonus for parents. Their French fries are very good! The Green Goddess dressing is excellent on their house salad.
The atmosphere is casual, so come as you are.“

“What a great place cheap drinks great food and fantastic bartenders what's not to love. I will suggest this venue to any family or guys or girls for a night on the town.“

“My company, MARIS, held a dinner four our retiring CEO on Friday evening and it was absolutely wonderful! I worked with Jade in planning the event and she was very responsive and helpful. She and Jasmin took care of all the attendees and provided superb service. Our food was excellent and the room was set just as planned. I would highly recommend Bishop’s Post for your next event. They will not disappoint. Thank you Jade, Jasmin, and staff for making our party a success!“

“Great food and staff! Very attentive“

“This is our favorite breakfast place ever. It’s a great “Mom and Pop” style restaurant with great tasting food and fabulous service. I don’t know how they serve food for the priced they do. It’s nothing fancy but really wonderful.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious!! Love the focaccia bread“

“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 belong to a group that is Dudes, Dining & Destinations, and we kind of ambushed this place, Mad Dog and Cats Steak today, sunday August 9th 2026. We had about 25/30 of us. The 2 waitresses we had, Mel B and Kara B were awesome. I had the French Onion Soup and Patty Melt and my friend had the side salad with a beef brisket sandwich. They both came out in a timely manner, was very tasteful and plentiful, even took left overs home even. If you find yourself out in st Charles area sometime , stop by and check them out. Cool little place.“

“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 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.“

“This place is cute and friendly! The sloppy nachos were amazing. We will be back to sample more of the menu!“

“We had a 6 top on Friday April 17 at 6pm in Royal Oak. Danielle was our server, she was nice, polite and quick. The 1 appetizer for another couple came with their dinner. 4 of the six people got their meals. About 5 mins later our 2 burgers came. Both prepared wrong (order was 1 burger as is on menu, 1 burger with only pickles). Both were sent back. Waitress came over, realized we didn't have our meal, apologized. 5 mins later a manager came over and said our meal would be out soon. As our friends were just about finished with their meals, our burgers finally came, about 15 mins too late. Burgers were fine. Nothing to brag about, I ate half because I had lost my appetite. When the bill came, nothing was comped or reduced in price. My husband paid the bill and I was pretty PO'ed at him that he actually paid it without asking for some sort of discount. The steak ordered by a friend was super salty, and the chicken on the salad was dry. I know they have kinks to work out, but the place and food isn't really much to brag about.“

“Awesome spot! The homemade Caesar dressing is on point! Service is great, food is great! There’s not a lot of scratch Kitchens anymore, It’s almost like who can cook sysco food the best, But this place hand breads chicken, cuts their steaks, make dressings from scratch, I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“I walked into a classy interior and sat at the bar. I was welcomed there by the owner and he made me feel like a king. I had some fine tequila and ordered the duck. Both were fantastic. The service was wonderful. One of the best duck breast dishes I ever had. Hats off to Westchester for a positive experience“

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

“Excellent quality of food. Great service and nice ambiance.“

“Natalya T was our server, and did an excellent job . She was very friendly , and anticipated what we would need. Excellent!“

“Avocado toast was delicious!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“The food was amazing!! We got the loaded smokehouse fries.. no leftovers!! The wine was ok, but the biggest issue was that the wine menus were confusing to read. We also figured out the wine menu inside, did not match up with the wine menu outside. The staff was very helpful and friendly!“
