Restaurants near Crystal City

“Ordered a veggie pizza and a salad. 4-cheese, mushroom, onion and dark olives. Not black olives, but dark Greek type olives. Pizza was Great. Only one size but enough for 2 people. The salads are made ahead of time, found in a care, but taste very fresh. Only an oil dressing is offered, but it was wonderful. We dipped the crust of the pizza in the extra oil dressing, yummy. Had the lemonade - delicious!”

“oh gordon’s what’s not to love? i’ve been going here since i was a kid with my dad and it’s always been the same,the best burger i’ve ever had, and the cheese fries mann! the hard working people that run that show do a amazing job i highly recommend stopping in to have a single cheeseburger and some cheese fries it’s my favorite thanks to the awesome cooks! i swear they make mine special or something cuz its always so good”

“I have tried Thai restaurants all over the United States. This place has some of the best pad Thai I have ever eaten if you like spice make sure to ask for level five because it’s the perfect blend of heat and flavor plus it just dang hot and I love it.”

“Friday was the 1st time at this restaurant. The staff was so friendly. My boyfriend wanted an order of Peanut Butter Chicken, which wasn't on the menu, our waiter, Ian, went & asked the cook if they could make it. This amazing cook made his request & it was the best we ever had. I ordered the cashew chicken, it brought memories back to a restaurant I loved growing up to (not in this area). I haven't been able to find anyone that could make it like this over 30 years. They definitely have us for customers for now on.”

“i realized months later i posted this review on google but not here. after getting a notification that their google page received yet again another negative review regarding THE SAME ISSUE i expierenced, i felt compelled to post here. First off, I miss Amy. She was great—always smiled, made customers feel welcomed. The crew they have now is just a bunch of kids who have absolutely no work ethic nor common decency toward their customers. I ordered an iced matcha latte with cinnamon syrup. The gal who handed me my drink did not say anything… was rude. I took a drink of my iced matcha and settled at the bottom was about a half-inch of pure cane sugar. When I brought it to the window to address it, the gal who made it— instead of apologizing and offering to remake it—began to argue, stating, “Well I made it and I know I didn’t put sugar in it.” So that was fun. Then, when I requested my drink be refunded, she began arguing with me to just remake it instead of refunding me. Sincerely hope they train their new staff on being kind to customers and basic people skills. However, they have officially lost another customer. It appears I am not the only one who has had an issue with the new staff… that’s a shame. For reference, this occurred during the summer of 2025.”

“My favorite Mexican restaurant. I drive from Arnold just to go eat there. The food and service is excellent!!”

“I have been to this establishment a few times, and it consistently delivers a positive experience. The staff were friendly and patient, the food was enjoyable, and my grandparents, whom I do not see often, also had a pleasant time.”

“We had Kettelhut cater an event for us this weekend and honestly, we cannot say enough amazing things about them. We had them serve 2 lunches and a dinner service for over 100 people. I had so many people tell us how amazing the food was. A few people said it was the best food they have ever had at a Christmas tree meeting. Jeff was amazing to work with, even helping us in a pinch when our last caterer failed us. he made the process so easy, and always kept us up to date on everything and anything. Again, thank you so much for everything and we will definitely be using your catering services again!”

“Is China Buffet closed permanently?”

“Went on a Saturday night for a jam session that they have, it was incredible to sit and listen to👍 good rock music without being blown away by loudness. After jam session ended at 11:30, they set up for karaoke, that also was extremely fun till close. All kinds of great people come and have a wonderful time all together. Wonderful ownership, thanks Ronnie . Super place to go 👍”

“HANDS DOWN the best sushi my husband and I have had in the St. Louis and surrounding areas. The freshness and flavor of everything we have tried cannot be beat!!! Clean, friendly, fast service every single time. The quality, presentation and flavors are consistent. We’ve never been slightly disappointed in anything from here. We rarely eat out, but when we do, it’s here! 12/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“WOW! Top notch in every way! The atmosphere was beautiful and comforting, and relaxing. Honestly, the place reminds me of a Hallmark Movie, only better! I just love it and can't wait to visit again! Oh, and the young girl helping me was the very best! So helpful and understanding! Everyone there was actually just a blessing! If I end up moving out there, I would end up there every day!!! It was just that good! Thank you so much. I shared a picture of another reason I went there! I loved this bag they shared and had to have it. And it was the last one! So excited. They have nice things there to purchase. I can't wait to go back to get a shirt too!”

“My daughter and I visited The Braided Bakery today for the first time and it was AMAZING!! First of all the shop is adorable!!! The people were super friendly and I’m now the proud owner of a pretzel bites addiction!!! They are to DIE FOR! I was in love with Auntie Anne’s, UNTIL today when I tried theirs!!! They are so soft and pillowy and NOT greasy like auntie Anne’s! So much better!!! We also got a chocolate chip and a gooey butter cookie that were also the best cookies ever!!! They are really thick and just have the best taste and texture!! We will definitely be back for more!!!! Thank you so much!”

“I've been going here since I was a little kid and their food is still unmatched. Old timey, diner-style restaurant with friendly service, to-die-for ice cream, and plenty of lovely memories. Also has great pricing and a claw machine I've won two stuffed animals from, which is in my opinion a good record. Highly reccommend mozzarella sticks, fries, and waffle cone sundae (mint chip is superior).”

“Good service and friendly service”

“Delicious Food and atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly and efficient. So happy that we stopped by for supper! Highly Recommended.”

“Was traveling thru the area today and seen dippin dots and made the trip over. This place was great. I met the owner and he let me try different flavors as well as the popcorn, such a nice guy! I wish I lived closer…… but will be a stopping point every time I’m in the area!”

“Wow. The food was delicious and came out quick! Our server Brittani was so sweet we almost didn't even need to order dessert! But who could pass up on one of those pies!? Not I!”

“Food is great! Great portions. Service is friendly and fast! We have retuned multiple times. Had hamburgers, hibachi and sushi.”

“Used to have to go to Wisconsin to get Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company’s ice cream but now it’s available in our region. Stopped by for a shot of espresso over a scoop of ‘#*!*Serious’ (an affogato) and it was fantastic. Best ever. So nice to have a coffee AND ice cream shop under one roof. Courteous staff, too! Next time I’m going to take my wife and do a little local shopping. Beautiful downtown Main Street area.”

“It was our first time eating at Joe's pizza. It was very clean everyone was friendly and courteous. The pizza was delicious! We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“1st time there, had the buffalo chicken salad. it was awesome. the atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly, very clean everywhere. service was excellent! Great job!A+++++”

“I won’t lie, I work here, BUT I’ve been a HUGE fan of Taytros since they were in their first location. Food, drinks, music, and atmosphere have always been great! I still have yet to grow tired of eating here. The made in-house ranch, Asian glaze, homemade croutons, Cajun bbq shrimp, Kerris jalapeño poppin chicken with sugar snap peas or Angry Italian sandwich & fries are some of my top favorites. Paired with a hurricane, lous watermelon sunrise, or lavender lemon drop martini 🤌🏻💋”

“Been away for a bit but omg the reno at Hank & Lily’s is great! Can’t wait to attend all the community fundraisers or just for a cold one! You should check it out!”
