“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“I highly recommend Koibito Poke STL. The food is fresh and amazing. Great variety to serve all customers.“

“The place was amazing. Great food and wonderful service provided by Tom. It had ambiance, something missing in many places. This had the charm and finesse that is often missed in the new LOUD places. This place was packed but still quiet and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Not cheap but well worth the money.“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“Yesterday was our first time there. Food was really good, will definitely be back.“

“I had a wonderful experience here! The restaurant is run by genuinely attentive and professional people. Michelle in sales and events, along with her manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I’m truly grateful for their care.

The dining was equally fabulous. Our server was attentive and provided excellent service, while the food was both fresh and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the fresh fish dish and the street corn. For dessert, I highly recommend the carrot cake—it’s decadent and delicious.

The atmosphere is beautiful and versatile, making it perfect for a business dinner, a romantic night out, or a celebration.

Excellent job all around—thank you for a memorable experience!“

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.“

“I’ve come here for dinner several times. It’s great for a date night with my husband or for birthday dinner with the family. I’ve truly enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“Delicious Mexican food 🇲🇽specially tacos 🌮🥰🥳🌮🇲🇽“

“Love gulf shores! Went tonight to the St. Peter’s location and had a yummy dinner. The host was a young man and did a great job and our waitress was lovely and on top of it! Two elderly women came in a the younger of the two was extremely rude and entitled to the host (the young man). Rudely demanding a different table each time he tried to seat them. I just wanted to point out how well he handled it and that he stayed professional and kept a smile on his face the whole time. He deserves kudos. I told her on the way out to tone down her entitlement and not to be so rude to staff and she spiraled. Not shocking. I’m not a fan of treating those in the service industry rudely. Again he handled it very well. Good job to him!“

“We went to this restaurant for our 28th wedding anniversary and loved it. Our waiter, Tsai, was wonderful, and the food was awesome. Lots of good meat in the crab and the shrimp were huge. We had the medium spicy sauce and that was perfect. Thanks so much for making our special day so great. 😃“

“I highly recommend Krab Kingz. Everything was perfect!!!“

“I got lucky and nabbed a last minute reservation for my birthday. This is truly my favorite restaurant! The food as always was exceptional. The only thing that was lacking was our waitress seemed a little put off being there. She was timely and attentive, but really not very friendly. This has not been the case on any other visit to your restaurant.“

“Comida maravillosa y deliciosa. Jason fue un gran trabajador. ¡Muy conocedor! Volveré.“

“Always a romantic vibe. They had the birthday decorations, card, and rose on the table for my gf's birthday. Jason was an awesome waiter. We had the crab cakes and lamb chops as entrés...fantastic. Nice sweet birthday treat (on the house) at the end. This place never disappoints. 👌🏽“

“Shout out to Ahmad and the whole team at Hook Fish & Chicken (Penn Hills) for the delicious and generous portions of fish, wings and fries for our family reunion Meet & Greet Reception!! They helped me ensure we had enough food for everyone, the order was hot, ready on time, accurate and the relatives are still talking about how good it was. Paired with the rest of our menu, this made for a hearty meal for all ages. Thank you so much for helping make our family gathering a success.“

“We had a table reserved and arrived a few minutes early. The place was packed but they immediately seated us and were very attentive. We were quickly waited on, drinks showed up, order taken and food was on our table very timely. Friendly staff, excellent food and great prices. We could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“We have always enjoyed our dining experience at Roberto’s. The food is great, service is great and the atmosphere is great. HOWEVER, they need to improve in two areas. Every time I have asked for a little horseradish. They don’t have any. So next time, I’ll bring my own. The other is the amount of sour crème provided with your huge potato is inadequate. I asked for a little more and they charged me an additional fifty cents! I can’t believe that I’m paying $240 for a meal and they want to ding me fifty cents for a dollop of sour crème. How petty.“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“The food and drinks are always delicious! Josh the bar waiter is always friendly and the atmosphere is so calming!“

“❤️Nice ambiance, tasty food 🍱 and service was excellent too. Highly recommended 😀👍🏼We met the owner of the restaurant, Mr Sunny who’s very polite and welcoming. Altogether it was a wonderful experience ❤️“

“I was leary about trying Kay's out because it was almost lunch time. I took a chance and I'm so happy I did! I got the Lobster fried rice and garlic parm wings and fries. It was delicious! The rice was moist (the Lobster was a lil over cooked) but it was still good. The wings and fries were yummy! There was no wait when I arrived. Customer service was great, I waited maybe 25 minutes. It was worth the wait really happy I stopped by!“

“Great food and very reasonable prices I ate for 2 days so it was well worth it.Very delicious I was curious at first but gave it a try and it’s great. Will be back“

“These two young gentlemen, Juliyen and Sam! I can tell they enjoy being around people ! All smiles and great conversation. Waffles were okay but they made the atmosphere enjoyable with their welcoming personalities! Had a rough week before and they brightened it.“

“Seven of us met for a business dinner. The group agreed that this was the best dinner we had enjoyed anywhere for some time. The service and friendly staff were impeccable. The menu selection provided all of us with what we were looking for with quality and quantity. And the desserts (key lime pie and carrot cake)—words can't describe them! The atmosphere was spot on. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and serviced. All were located in a convenient and safe area.“

“😎I have never had anything bad from DD.“

“This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Their food is excellent and they have the best house dressing! They have great specials, as well. Their walleye and basa fish dinners are signature dishes there and are delicious. Will 100% go again! So yummy! 😋“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“Great food and nice service“

“Best fish and chips to enjoy when they are here. Perfect location as it is close to home and I get my meals on my way home from work. Staff is so friendly. Wish if they took pre-orders the lines are usually so long and sometimes not easy to wait when the temperatures are not the perfect conditions. Can we get a little more fries? On Thursday I did not get the malt and vinegar I asked for maybe they forgot in the busyness. I would definitely give their food 👍 4.5⭐️“

“Great food and friendly staff. We tried the meatball sandwich on cheese bread and the Italian beef. Both were excellent. A generous portion of juicy meat and cheese on fresh bread. The potato salad and pasta salad were very flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Blaire and Ava are the best bartenders I’ve ever witnessed. Wow, these unicorns.. 10 out of 5 stars!“

“First time here and the service, food, cleanliness, pricing, location were all excellent! Celebrated a grandson's b'day and it was perfect! I love that they give you an option for spiciness (0-5) since I'm a 0 and opted for Orange Chicken. I'll be more adventuresome next time. LOL Great restaurant all the way around!“

“Will is the best server ever!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“This China King is under New Management and when I tell you I went at the beginning of November 2024, ordered Chicken Egg foo yu and Fried gizzards .... DELICIOUS!!! The gravy on the Chicken egg foo yu is so good and their Fried gizzards are the best in St Louis, they practically melt in your mouth and the onions help make the flavor. And the food was fresh, hot and soooo good. This husband and wife team know how to cook, they are respectful and kind, and have not only my respect but will have my business from now on. Thank you!!! Glad to rediscover you here in Crestwood.“

“Nothing fancy, just went for the meat and potatoes of it to test the water here (plain fried rice and 2 egg rolls). You can tell the fried rice wasn't cooked in years old oil like many other establishments, and the egg rolls tasted more like fresh veggies than anything. Again, nothing fancy, but for the amount of rice they gave me in a properly resealable container, and for the price, I'll give it 5 stars. Friendly and attentive staff at the front counter.“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“Absolutely delicious every single time! Great atmosphere, team and customer service. Highly recommend 🤗💗“

“Whole duck was delicious. First time visiting and will be back. Didn't have a chance to try anything else because it was the day of thanksgiving and the kitchen was closed to their other items and all I wanted was a whole duck anyway but will go back to try other items of the menu. Duck EXCELLENT!“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The green chile pork is amazing. Meat it's fall apart tender and the flavor is full and robust. We also had the steak milenesa. It had a great crust and fork tender with great flavor. NOTHING was bad. Service matches the flavor. Food came fast, and the waitress made our dinner a great experience.

You can't go wrong here!“
