“Byron was such a fun sommelier. On 3/23/24, I had so much fun! Great atmosphere, tasty wines, 5 tastings for $8- amazing!! If I lived here, I'd be in trouble.”

“Love this place! Great pizza and brews and a fantastic location right off the Katy trail. The owners have truly created an atmosphere that keeps locals and tourists coming back. Always a fun time!”

“Today was a beautiful day, I had the privilege of being there today by myself. I enjoyed the special treatment, and half bottles Wednesday. I will be back next Wednesday with some special friends and family. I’m thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have such a wonderful place 18 minutes away from my home.”

“This place is great! They make an awesome vodka and they have great wine. The views here are also beautiful especially as fall approaches. Easy to get to and lots of parking and plenty of places to sit and enjoy music and wine.”

“My visit was very nice. The waitress was kind and helpful. The food was yummy too, double win. Places with good service and good food will always be recommended by me.”

“Very happy to have this place in the neighborhood!Lomo saltado is our favorite but you have to try the chicha morada and some lucuma ice cream for dessert…yummy!”

“I went with a big group to get brunch and both the food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the steak hash. It was enough for two meals! The crab stuffed pretzels were also very good as an appetizer.”

“Service and cleanliness were impeccable. Kudos to them for that. The grandkids love this place so every time special occasion comes around we buy them cookies. I feel like they are on the expensive side for what you get. we usually get the 12 pack just because it's cheaper and then we can divide among our families. A nice thing is they do offer a veterans military discount if you ask. But it is only good on same-day purchases. It would be nice if you could order ahead of time and then pick up scheduled time but that is not allowed. And you cannot order online with a veterans discount. Maybe they could sign up for ID.me to solve that problem, and then also let you order ahead of time for a schedule time with the Discount. I had my 12 cookies divided into four boxes. They stated they had to charge me for four extra boxes to do that. Which seems kind of weird because they would've given me them in one box at least. So I shouldn't have to pay for at least one of them. That aside I think it's ridiculous that you pay between $40 to $50 for cookies and then they want to charge you $.25-$.65 per box to put them in. My husband said next time maybe we should bring our own boxes :). As I said, no issues with staff they were fantastic. Cookies we're . I just don't see why you have to pay extra for boxes especially if you're not taking them home empty you're actually putting cookies in them when you buy them. Could that be a misunderstanding on the staff part? they didn't seem to think so. @CrumblCookies, any comments?”

“We had the mixed grill, falafel, and baklava ice cream sandwich. All of it was delicious. Will return for more. Good service too! Make sure to try the mint lemonade, it’s very tart and really wonderful.”

“We tried Dirty Dogz on a very busy day, National Hot Dog Day. The service was great and the food was phenomenal. The owners were very nice and checked on each and every customer numerous times. We will certainly be back and we highly recommend Dirty Dogz!”

“Donna hooked me up with the coolest cake for my Dad’s 60th birthday!! I highly recommend Sweet Spot Cake Shoppe not only for a customized cake, but also for stellar customer service.”

“I've been to just about every brewery in the Greater St. Louis area and can pretty much say, with confidence, that you will find the overall best beers here at Crossroads. The brewery typically has a wide variety of styles on tap and there has yet to be a beer here that did not show quality in crafting.Typically this would be an ideal spot for IPA (both hazy and West Coast), but their latest runs on porters have been exceptional. If you don't like beer, they have taps with margaritas, guest taps with ciders, and even produce their in-house seltzer.I used to want a brewery I frequent to have food options, but I've come to realize over time that I prefer the option to bring in my food from local establishments. That being said, you can still purchase some chips and basic snacks if you don't have something to bring in.Service-wise, I've had nothing but great experiences with the folks. I've always received prompt service and never waited an exceptionally long time for a drink. Specific highlights include Trisha and Kristen, but all are fabulous.Finally, I typically run around town with my family and this is a family-friendly establishment. They have a myriad of games for us to play and treat my kiddos well.The area is lucky to have such a wonderful spot!”

“The food is amazing staffing kinda sucks need better service. We got out to go this time . The last 3xs we were there took for ever to get our pizza then they bring us the wrong foodParking: There’s plenty of parking”

“The wellness juice is my favorite! So fresh! The avocado toast is luxurious. So much avocado on that bad boy. The local sourdough and microgreens are a special touch on the toast. I like to grab a few of the immunity shots before I travel.”

“Very loud and busy, I got a burger which was raw in the middle but they sent it back to be cooked more, Manager was nice and took it off the bill. I understand they were very busy and had alot going on!”

“First time there and food and service were excellent.Vegetarian options: The new stuffed mushrooms were superb, stuffed with cream cheese and lightly breaded. 4 huge bella mushrooms for appetizer, but I had it as a meal with a large house salad.”

“Very delicious and authentic Mexican food. The best Mexican restaurant option not only in Eureka but in the area in my mind. Great service from the family-run restaurant, in a fun Mexican themed environment. We've tried a different entree on each of our visits and I think we like each dish better than the next. Altos Cantina has quickly become a regular spot on our rotation!”

“Food was good, portion was small, but the price was low so it makes sense. They were training new staff in the middle of Friday night rush so that was a little chaotic, but totally understandable. As far as atmosphere, they have high ceilings so dining in is a little loud for my taste.Overall good experience and will be back.”

“We love the cookie box the best cookies we have ever had! They also did a custom order for my son’s birthday! We have been in the quest for the best chocolate chip cookies and The Cookie Box has it! The only place we will ever get cookies from”

“I stumbled upon Sunright when I was in O'Fallon for an appointment. The aesthetic is clean and simple, but still comfortable. My only complaint about it is that the music was so loud that it would be hard to have a conversation. For the first time, I ordered the Sunright Fruit Tea and the Sunright Boba Milk Tea, each with 50% sugar. The fresh orange and lemon slices in the bright-flavored citrus tea were delicious and refreshing. I will order this again, it would be perfect on a hot summer day. The 50% sweetness was just right for me and I am often overwhelmed by the sweetness at boba shops. The Boba Milk Tea was a nice basic tea, I ordered it with brown sugar boba but next time I will try the honey boba--I should have read the Yelp reviews before going in. The prices were better than the other tea shops in the St. Charles County area that I have visited, with my 2 teas coming in at under $14. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was quick. I will make the drive from St. Peters for tea the next time I am craving boba!!”

“Always exceptional good offerings. Kim, the server, did an admirable job. Too bad our society no longer dresses up when you go to a five star restaurant. Just an old guy speaking.”

“I ordered a very last minute cake for a birthday party. I sent a picture and wording that I wanted on the cake. They not only were able to make it in the time I needed by also designed it by using a picture I found and the wording I wanted. This is the most beautiful cake I have ever ordered and it tasted even better. This cake turned out so much better than I had imagined and it was so delicious! I have found my new place for specialty cakes!”

“Outstanding. The young man at the front was amazing and made you feel like your the only customer. The food WAIT. It's not what it looks like in pictures it's A LOT MORE. We had left overs and it was amazing. Perfection on chicken, fries were good and enough for 2. Potato salad was good....so I am going back soon... lots more than I expected way above. Keep up the good quality.”

“It looks a little basic from outside. Inside holds bar seating, and a myriad of tables. It is not fancy.But,the food! The food is delicious. Pretty much all of it. We have gone many times, and everyone always loves their chosen dish. The chef is wonderful and the staff is courteous and does a great job. They have daily specials which also prove delish each time. Our favorite is the Sunday chicken dinner. It’s the only restaurant we have been to where the chicken breast is not salted to point of inedible. Fresh mashed potatoes are wonderful. Highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant.”

“A quaint location in a small historic village that excels in tastes, textures and experience! Enjoy a snack followed by three or five courses. Set aside two hours and breathe the ambience of antique Missouri paired with locale based farm to table a la innovative Provence/'Merican/Global fair. Fun and quiet, take a little journey set aside the time enjoy the craft from this kitchen!”

“This was our first experience eating at a high class restaurant. It was absolutely amazing.. loved the cottage setting, the atmosphere was comfortable, cozy and elegant.. the food was incredible. Chef Carl and his family were so welcoming and friendly.. an experience of a ”

“We stopped in here today for a little ice cream and I was really impressed. The store is clean and I liked the way it was decorated. We each got a scoop of ice cream and I was really impressed with the flavors. They were a lot richer, more flavorful than I am used to. Some of the flavors are also unique and you would be unlikely to find them elsewhere. My daughter liked the Super Human flavor, which was kind of like rainbow sherbert, and the Zanzibar Chocolate was rich and decadent. I definitely liked this place and would consider it the best ice cream in the St. Louis area. Too bad its all the way out in Wildwood.”

“My all time favorite breakfast spot! The gluten free menu is excellent and very celiac friendly. I cried when I found out I could have a pancake for the first time since being diagnosed with celiac. The chocolate chip pancake is the best! The liquid queso is DELICIOUS on the eggs and hashbrowns. I highly recommend the Vanna White omelette. Our server Karlie was amazing today! I could tell she is enthusiastic about being a good attentive server.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“I hosted my husband’s 40th birthday party over the weekend at Shortleaf and I can’t say enough good things! All our guests are still talking about how amazing the place and party was. Some have never been to Shortleaf but they may become regulars ?.The communication leading up to the party was wonderful, thank you so much to Jonathan and Michael for answering all my questions. The event space was perfect for our 40 guests.The food was amazing! Eli helped coordinate how much food I may need for our guests which was extremely helpful. Ordered the taco bar (meat, chicken, spicy cauliflower), toasted raviolis, caesar salad, and chicken fingers.Everyone talked about how delicious the food was overall but especially the chicken fingers! The catering was perfect, enough plates, napkins, and silverware. Thank you so much Eli for the fantastic food!!I was able to bring a custom cake, centerpieces, kids coloring table, and balloons. Additionally, they had board games and a shuffleboard table for entertainment. We had 14 kids which is hard sometimes to keep them entertained even during a meal at a restaurant.Brittany was wonderful at the bar! Everyone loved all the beers but especially the frozen hot chocolate and frozen strawberry margarita. It is so nice to go to a brewery where there are other cocktails if you do not prefer beer.If anyone needs to hold an event, come in for a drink, or eat delicious food THIS is the place!! Thank you so much for everything!!”
