“Was reluctant at first, but I'm glad my better half decided that we were going to try as we have never been. As we entered, we were greeted with a simple and soft welcome, we looked at the menu and decided to try a NY style crust, best decision by far! The toppings were perfect for the pizza, not overwhelming, the taste was great and will definitely come back.”
“Went with the guys for a burger and beer on a weekday around five. Place was already busy but we got a table immediately. Service was very good. I had the jalapeño burger, coleslaw and smithwick beer. Burger was excellent. Jalapeños were fried and piled high I normally don't notice the bun, but that was also very good. I ordered coleslaw as my attempt at dieting. Was average. My compatriots fries looked very good. Large portions.”
“Due to a really pleasant experience, I am going to give this place another try and a boost to 4 stars although I really want to lean closer to 3.5. Restaurant is small with a handful of kind of uncomfortable tables (table base is really big, not a lot of room for your feet) in a small front-area, a counter for ordering, and a narrow bar "next door" through a doorway. Ordering experience was stellar. Great service with a smile from the delightful woman manning the register. I also liked the thoughtful placement of a cart with to-go containers, extra silverware sets, and napkins so you can help yourself to what you need. 3 of 4 of us ordered a lunch special which was probably not the best intro to this place. 8 inch pizza with up to 3 toppings (generous), side a drink for a decent price. it's really hard to evaluate a pizza in an 8 inch size. Pizza to me was ok. I thought the sauce needed more flavor and I thought the toppings (especially onions) didn't cook all the way through before the crust finished. My pizza was just a little bland. Side salads were fresh, had plenty of good veggies, and dressings were good but the small bowls made it hard to toss. My daughter especially liked the big artichokes in the full-size house salad. We had both the bone in and boneless wings and they were fine fresh, well cooked, but nothing outstanding. The lady at the bar was very nice and helpful picking a house-made beer which was decent. As we were getting ready to go back to the counter to order some warm cookies for the kids the very nice woman at the counter brought a plate to our table. Very generous and just a great service experience. Although our first intro to the food was only OK, I do think the service was good enough to try a couple of full-sized pizzas to really judge the quality. I wish I could do 3.5 stars but the great experience was enough to bump them up.”
“This is one of my go-to spots after a bike ride. Bbq and beer is a great reward for the hard work! Went yesterday and it was all decked out for st. Patrick's day plus had a special menu and was all staffed up. I got the corned beef special. Not normally something I'd go for but it was really good! Highly recommend it if u r going for St Patrick's day. Hopefully they get the crowd this wknd.”
“This was my first time here, will definitely be back again! The food exceeded expectations! The shawarma was incredible the beef platter was amazing. The meat was perfect, the baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness and texture! Amazing service, such friendly people working there! I highly recommend trying this place!”
“Holy foodies! family owned restaurant Ballwin, MO. Their product puts the famous IMOs pizza to shame.You MUST order the homemade sausage with the sauce and provell cheese... it's perfect.I recommend half pepperoni - bell pepper and pepperoni -pineapple.My mouth is watering writing this.we have a standing mandate to eat hear before any vacation.It is just that good.”
“Our first time in.Nikki was awesome.Food was delish, even though one of the orders was wrong, it was still yummy. ( I ordered the tortellini in Cajun sauce and got the Cajun pasta instead) the boyfriend ordered the lasagna. He said he would give it a 4, and was happy it wasn’t small. HUGE portions. Dinner salad was one of the best we’ve ever had. Overall… we liked it, and will definitely go back.Parking: Easy parking, but a big dip going in and out… still not terrible.”
“Had a spectacular visit here a few years ago and just came back. Same warm atmosphere and great service, fine dining but without the stufy-ness of other fine dining places. And of course you have to mention the food. Stellar! And they have a take home section if you want some take out to enjoy later. Why don't more places do this??? Our daughter was in a mood, so thanks to Jordyn for being gracious w our cranky child.”
“Great pizza! The service is really good. The people is very kind and they are always focused on giving you the best service. I tried the Edgar Allan Poe Pizza with a salad and it was excellent!”
“Picked up my kids last night from college out of state & they HAD to get her Cecil's fix right away, despite how tired they were. Their pizza were PERFECT. Kudos to the new owner Katie. You provided wonderful, attentive service & the fois was great!”
“The beers were great and very drinkable across the whole menu. Our personal favorite was the Norwegian Farmhouse Ale which was super flavorful, yet light sitting around 6%. The pizza was also very good from Boardwalk Pizza!”

“Excellent service and food! Really lovely establishment. Wonderful addition to west county Mexican restaurants. Our dinners were very good and the desserts couldn't have been better!”
“Have been eating here for nearly 20 years. Best crabrangoon and rice imo. Hot & Spicy chicken and pad thai are also fantastic. Friendly positive staff as well. Always take my friends here.”
“This is the best restaurant we have visited in the St Louis area. Tonight was our first visit to Malinche and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and service. Emiliano took care of us at the bar and did an amazing job of making sure our visit was exceptional. He elevated the experience to feel like dining versus just grabbing dinner. Do not expect your average Mexican restaurant portions, but these small plates are of such high quality you won't miss a thing. This intimate evening of delicious food, cocktails, and ambiance is one we won't forget.”
