Our desert was carrot cake & raspberry lemon cake they melted in our mouths. This restaurant gets 10 stars we absolutely love it!!!“

“My first time here and in St. Charles, went with a couple friends and our server was friendly and nice. She made sure we were taken care of.

Thanks Barb (our server)!

I ordered a plain cheeseburger with bacon and a side of fries.
The only reason I rated the food a 4/5 was because I felt my bun was a bit too stiff, just might be me but I like my bun warm but soft. Otherwise, perfect burger.“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of eating dinner on Christmas Eve. I had the scallops and linguine; he had a steak. Our meals were delicious! Highly recommend this little gem along one of the prettiest streets in the USA.“

“Had resv for 4:00 on a Sat, got there at 3:25 asked to sit at table to get drinks, told we could, then someone else said no since r resv wasn’t until 4:00. Said we could sit at bar but all tables in bar were taken! Freezing cold inside, put 7 of us at a table that would hold 10-12 people had to scoot down to other end to try and get warm. Food finally arrived way later than those around us! No one in the rest. hardly but we couldn’t sit at a table till 4:00. Not very friendly about it! Food not impressed with! Will not go back, done!“

“We ate here earlier today and it was so good! The wings were fried but not at all greasy. The gyro was so big my student could barely pick it up. Everything was very fresh. This place is a hidden gem for sure!“

“The Crossing Restaurant did a remarkable job the other evening when we dined there. We had impeccable service and outstanding food. I loved being able to do the four course meal with some of the specials. It was wonderful to see the dining room full in this well-established restaurant in the heart of Clayton. I remember being wowwed when I first dined at The Crossing 25 years ago and it is still just as fabulous! We cannot wait to return.“

“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!“

“The current owners, Colleen and Bill are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. We had a baby shower there and they were very accommodating. The food, service and atmosphere were great. Can’t say enough!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“the service was amazing the waitress was very helpful and very pleasant“

“First timer. Great breakfast! Plenty of traditional choices and healthy choices. Nice atmosphere. Clean! Quick service, pleasant service. Plenty of parking. Easy to get to from interstate. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped on our way back from vaca. Loved the food and the service.“

“I love the healthy options. Something to satisfy a wide variety of tastes. Good size portions. We often take some leftovers home. The mother earth bowl and forbidden rice are stellar. Just add a protein if you want more. I highly recommend the salmon. Our grand kids like the child options. The restaurant can be noisy inside so we usually eat outside on their patio or order ahead and pickup to go. The line to order may seem long but the food comes out fairly quickly. You can always use the app to order ahead and then eat there when you pick it up.“

“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.“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“Best salad I've EVER had! Friendly staff. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“Very customer oriented..it’s always good never disappoints“

“Friendly atmosphere, excellent food and service! Very accommodating to our dietary restrictions! Highly recommended this restaurant!“

“Today me and my wife and daughter decide to try a new restaurant. loaded nachos and it was out of this world great. we will most definitely be going back and trying other items on the menu. if you have never tried loaded nachos I suggest you get up go on across to St Charles and get you some loaded nachos you will not be disappointed.“

“NOBODY makes a Popeye spinach omelet like they do! Also love the arch skillet; some jalapenos at breakfast help you wake up in the morning!. The potatoes are fresh - they don't come frozen, out of a bag!“

“any time I order here the food is great! I highly recommend the deep fried gooey cake as a dessert…thank me later! (you can tell the food is made with love!)“

“We normally go to another place for happy hour but the last time we went, we had terrible service so I days NO MORE - & that led us to Big A's. It was perfect! Our server Chelsea was engaging, funny, attentive & informative. She helped make our night so much more fun! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thanks for such a great 1st Happy Hour at Big A's Chelsea!! It would not have been as much fun without you!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and respectful. took really good care of us. will come back when we are in town.“

“Somehow, despite living < 3 miles away for the last ~30 years, and then seeing a chiro < 400 yds away, I'd never stopped in until about a year ago, and man am I salty I could've been eaten here for YEARS and missed it.

The Food - I'm not sure what you're expecting but if its fresh made and repeatably good hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches and fries at fast food prices, then quit reading and just go now. It's not gonna change how you look at food but you'll be happy every time.

The staff - As good as the food is, the staff is probably better. When I go (Saturdays) theres normally a pair of guys I see regularly working the window and grilling. Frankly they could tell me they have a band and this is thier side hustle and I'd believe it, and go catch a show. But damn if they aren't two of the nicest people I've encountered any retail establishment, let alone a service one. Like legitimately pleasant interactions, which in the current day in age is pretty rare.

All that to say, if you aren't going here, you should be. It's exactly what a throw back should be. You won't be disappointed.“

“Our waitress was friendly but a bit overworked. The Italian Wedding soup was horrible. No flavor, no Italian sausage and full of barley. The roast beef sandwich was good but had wilted greens on it and we didn’t like that. The ham and cheese sandwich was good. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.“

“First Time Eating there I had the Cheesesteak & fries & it was delicious my boyfriend had the bacon cheeseburger he said it was delicious as well ! Highly recommend & all the staff was nice & very clean atmosphere!! 5 ⭐️’s“

“10/10 will be going here everytime im in the city“

“waited 15 minutes after being seated while wait staff just ignored us. we finally asked the hostess if we could place our order. a waiter came out finally, no apology for our wait. we placed.our order the he never came back. we waited 15 minutes after ordering and never got our beverages. it wasn't super crowded, only the patio was full. it's a shame because they do have good food but I will not be returning. Do not recommend if you ever want to eat. I have never walked out of a restaurant like that in my 42 years. it was terrible“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“I enjoyed my first visit! The upstairs seating next to the window was very nice. Our server Pattyn was very sweet and attentive. I enjoyed the club and white chicken chili. Very yummy 😋 I hope to come back and try more menu items.“

“Couldn't decide what we wanted to eat. My husband said let's try Jordan Fish Chicken and Grill and I said I guess. When I got there to pick up my food they were really friendly and their customer service was on point! They asked if I would like to try their honey hot chicken wing and I said sure, I won't lie I was skeptical because some honey hot sauces are too hot, but it was PERFECT! I even spilled the sauce all over my coat, smh... our food was good also. Next time I will be ordering the honey hot chicken! Thank you and see ya' next time!“

“Very noisy at lunch. Hard to hear across the table. Lunch was wonderful, food was great, Margo did a wonderful job servicing us. Gave recommendations and kept us in drinks and popovers. Really classy place for a girls lunch. There were several men also and my husband has been with me many times and also likes it. Chocolate cake was out of this world. Thank you for a great birthday lunch,“

“The Avenue came highly recommended and lived up to its reputation. I joined my siblings for lunch here. The staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was expansive and delicious. I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“

“Met up with a friend today at one of my favorite brunch spots, First Watch. We went to the one located on Streets of St. Charles. Their fresh food, juices, and eclectic menu makes it so you can always try something new. They have specialties each month, and I suggest you go before the end of February and try their barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl!! Today I had the morning meditation juice and the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was a party in my mouth! The braised beef barbacoa mixed with the eggs, beans, and other seasonings. My friend opted for the Italian Inspired omelet. You can put a reservation in online prior to arrival on busy days (like Saturday). The wait was not long this morning, and the food makes the wait worth it. One thing I like about Fresh Watch is the continuity across the chain in that regardless of which restaurant you choose the food is always good and fresh. Great service. Stop in and check them out…try something new!“

“Fantastic people! Great food.“

“We went to Syberg's yesterday ... always our spot to meet up with our son and his girlfriend. Service was great, food was delicious..... and the lobster mac was AMAZING! Full of chunks of lobster! Syberg's on Dorsett is one of our favorites! We drive almost two hours to eat there 🙂“

“I had the coconut shrimp and is was good, but definitely lacking in price for the what you get. It basically cols shrimp in an Alfredo tasting sauce. I probably wouldn't go here again. Definetely hace Clayton prices. We made reservations but at that time it was not busy or full by any means. Atmospher was nice. I think for some people would enjoy a place with a menu like this. I like a little more for my money. I would recommend a small bowl of rice or something. Drinks were just liquor lol nice for the price for sure, but I didn't drink.IDK all in all in was a good place for lunch.“

“Always a lovely meal at Almonds! Their pan friend chicken is the dish I keep coming back for. Its a love at first taste. Despite my favoritism, anything written on the chalkboards are wonderful. Almonds is an excellent and consistent spot to meet up with friends to enjoy a comforting meal.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“The food is pretty good but they nickel & dime you. Example, when you order a salad, it comes with not enough dressing & I’m one who does not require or want a lot or extra salad dressing on my salad. But they charge extra for each addition little cup of salad dressing. And after the party I was with left, I ordered takeout for my wife. They said they gave my order to someone in my party, which I know for a fact they did not. When I got home with the order I had to wait for more than twice as long for, they did not put the extra salad dressing I ordered & payed for in my bag. I know I should’ve checked but I trusted them & they failed.“

“Ill start off with the service, it wasn't good our server was just okay for the most part but when they brought out the food one server had know idea which plates go to which guest she literally asked us where is position 6 which we had no idea obviously, and one steak was not done right and it took a half an hour for it to come back out, plates or not taking off the table after we got done eating and sat there for a while, it was very loud in the restaurant as well, but im willing to give the establishment another chance everyone has a bad day at times.“

“This was my first time at the Creve Couer location. It was great sitting outside. The table was a little sticky but the food was good, it was quieter outside than in. Our waitress was very positive and knowledgeable. She checked on us a couple times.“
