I'm not sure if there was even a burger patty provided. what was om the sandwich was an over abundance of mayo and mustard like I guess I ordered a mustard and mayo sandwich.

“🔥 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.“

Next up... 5 Star Burger vs Shake Shack
I couldn't wait to get to this place. 5 Star Burgers - Clayton Last time i had the Bison burger and it has been in my memory ever since. I understand this location also won the best burger award last month. Think they might be in line for another one. Today i got the 5 Star Burger, Fries N Shake. They put a toasted marshmallow in the shake. I never had a toasted marshmallow before so that was a very nice addition and gave them some points on the wow factor. The burger is presented as what i would call a craft burger. The fries we salted nice and came straight out of the grease to my table. I do wish there was more shake but i find any reason to take points off for that. Liz was so wonderful, customer service was above and beyond!!!! Cant wait to get back here...

“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.“

“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!“

“Tried the Chicken Shawarma and Fries today—both were absolutely delicious! The shawarma was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the fries were crispy and fresh. Everything tasted great, and the portion size was satisfying. Definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome place. Great skillets“

“Chris, Keely and Evan were amazing. Great service and great attitudes. Food was great and came out quick. Drinks were excellent. I would definitely come back again.“

“Chuck A Burger reminds me of a fast food place back in the sixties. They have no dine in option but the service and food is top notch. I don't think any fast food option offers a better tasting burger. Every burger is made to your preference. Fries are also great. Now when I am in that area I know where I will be stopping for lunch and look forward to it.“

“Great food! Awesome service! These guys are great! They really want to make sure you are happy! Food is great! Wings, Brisket, Brisket Rueben and Pattymelt , all excellently prepared. Cassidy who usually waits on us from the bar is so nice! She is the best Bartender/ waitress because we always sit over there so we see her! Is awesome! She is a friend now and alaways makes sure we have what we need! We are happy Nubbies is here in Oakville. Tina and her husband are doing a great job! Thanks guys for making a great place to go in Oakville!“

“The Easter Brunch was great!“

“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.“

“Best ice cream around! Their concretes, cones, sundaes awesome.“

“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“

“Got a case of them cheeseburgers 🧀 🍔 to go,I was born in 55, born around St Louis area, so I had awesome memories of eating out at 2 places, and White Castle was one of them when I was a little critter. Something about them little burgers and don't forget the Crispy Onion Rings..😊“

“The food was delicious! Our server was Carol and she was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive, cheerful, fun and organized!! I will definitely return the next time I'm in town!! Definitely a 10/10 experience!“

“some of the best pizza I have had in awhile.“

“We ordered the sweet and spicy wings, pretzel, Cajun chicken pasta, and the buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was okay. It’s something to come to chill, eat, and catch up with a friend. Nothing really stood out as super delicious. I might come back to try their burgers. The wing sauce was good, but the chicken itself was a bit overcooked. The pasta was really saucy (which was a bonus), but it lacked flavor. The pretzel was actually good! Super soft and I like that it had 2 sauces. The wrap could have been warmed on the outside and a better proportion of ingredients on the inside. Our server was nice!“

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

“I had the most kind and friendly service at this location with an employee named Joseph. He is such a hardworker and always wears a smile on his face. Because of him, ill definitely be back! The food was phenomenal as well“

“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!“

“Good food and super nice staff.“

“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.“

“I love this location. The restaurant is very clean. Usually our White Castle choice if we decide to celebrate for their special Valentine’s Day celebration. Today we came just for a regular combo meal. Our food came very quickly and it was nice and hot.“

“The wings were perfect. Service was pretty crappy. We all have bad days but, we felt like an inconvenience.“
