“Our local Irish pub has become our go-to place for comfort, good food, and genuinely kind people. The owners go above and beyond, the staff treats you like old friends, and the food is always incredible. You can feel the heart in this place every time you walk through the door. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Really great food, cold beer and a barmaid named Jordan that made me feel right at home. Thank you Jordan! Maybe see you on Saturday or Wednesday. Danny“

“Today is my second time trying Pepper's deli and both times have been phenomenal!
I had the Schuben sandwich with a roast tomato gouda soup. Amazing!
The sandwich was real messy but delicious.
This will definitely be my go to spot when I'm in the area.“

“I recently swung by the Culver’s in Ellisville, MO craving something familiar and satisfying, and I walked out with exactly that. From the moment you step in, you can tell this place knows how to do comfort food well. The ButterBurgers come off the grill juicy and flavorful, with that signature lightly toasted bun and perfectly melted cheese that make every bite feel like a humble celebration. The crinkle cut fries are golden and crisp, and the flavor of the custard—rich and smooth without being overly sweet—reminds you why this Midwest classic has such solid loyalty. Whether you go with a classic concrete mixer or a sundae piled with toppings, it feels like a well-executed promise of a familiar favorite.

That said, part of the Culver’s experience here is the energy, and it isn’t always calm or quiet. During peak meal times, the dining room can feel a bit like a hub of activity rather than a peaceful spot for a quiet meal. Orders move fast, voices carry, and families and groups can fill the room with a cheerful kind of chaos. If you are looking for a serene place to linger with a conversation, this might not be the ideal choice during a busy evening, but it does lend itself to a lively, bustling vibe that fits a casual dinner or quick bite with friends and family. The staff handle the rush with good humor and efficiency, and even though the place gets busy, the quality of the food rarely reflects that chaos. All in all, it is a solid go-to for dependable comfort food in Ellisville, especially when you want great flavor and don’t mind a bit of friendly hustle around you.“

“Was there today at the OFallon MO location, as we hosted a Baby Shower in their event room. We had the BEST servers Chloe and Alexis! We had 30 guest plus or minus and they kept ever single glass full, kept checking in on everyone making sure they didn't need anything else, and were extremely polite and personable! The Manager was great to work with as well allowing us to get there at 10:30 to set up and make sure everything was ready for our shower starting. The food was sooo tasty and fresh! The guest of honor has lots of food allergies and with the catering menu and help of servers and manager, we were able to provide her a full meal of items she could eat with her allergies! There were so many compliments on the food from all the guest as well. We can't thank our staff we encountered and our servers Chloe and Alexis enough for going above and beyond for event. Definitely will be back and continue to use this location for future gatherings! Thank you again!!“

“We really wanted donuts and the KK down the road but was understaffed and rude. We tried the Donut Palace and it was the BEST!! The staff at the Donut Palace were super friendly and helpful!! The cinnamon roll blew me away! The coffee was hot and fresh and delicious.“

“This is genuinely such a cool and pretty affordable place. Before 6 and after 9 on weekdays, the beer wall is half off. Some of them are like less than 20 cents per oz. If it's busy, you have to seek out a server, but the food is great. Also, they have a rewards app that is pretty worthwhile. I also have the arcade membership. I think its like $11 a month for 40 games a day. And you can still get tickets. Most of the staff are really friendly. I've had very few bad experiences and have been here many times. My only complaint would be that they need cooler arcade prizes for adults. They used to have cooler stuff, but haven't in a while. Even just like a shot glass set, or a drinking board game, or chocolate candy instead of just sugar gummy candy. Parking is always easy and free though, which is nice. You can have a big group come. I do think they have spaces you can rent out for a party, but if you're fine hanging out in the open, it's a free place to host.“

“Lion’s Choice is always a great experience! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the staff makes every visit enjoyable. Larry, Greg, and Ben all deserve a shoutout for their hard work and great customer service. They help make this place stand out! Highly recommend Lion’s Choice to anyone looking for a great meal and friendly service! 🦁🥪“

“I went to Lee's Chicken tonight because my 16 year old daughter wasn't feeling good. She was craving a chicken pot pie ?! Unfortunately the man in front of me in the drive thru ordered 4 of pot pies, so they asked if I wanted to wait the 17 minutes it takes to make a new one. Usually I wouldn't have waited, but like I said, my kiddo wasn't feel good and was craving a chicken pot pie and a biscuit. They told me to pull up and they would bring it out. I don't think I waited 7 minutes before they brought it out to me! And they have me a complimentary sprite to take home to my sick daughter! I was very impressed about how nice they were! The food was amazing and they were fast! I had a wonderful experience!“
