“As an employee I may be biased however I would recommend this restaurant as both a great place to eat and work. The people make it a great place to work and the slow roasted beef make it hands down, the best roast beef around. with just a touch of seasoning salt it’s great as is or add some au jus and horseradish to complete it.“

“Who knew that an Irish bar in Eureka has some of the best Irish food in St Louis? My corned beef and cabbage was amazing. The beef was well seasoned. Owner was very nice and came by and made sure everything was okay.
My friends had Bangers and Mash and it was also amazing. It's a very welcoming place. I'll be back.“

“Poor Richards is a great family restaurant with many food options. The wings are the best in the St. Louis area, hands down. The wait and bar staff and courteous, friendly, and very attentive. Pricing is competitive and there’s an arcade area for the little ones.“

“We go to Yellowstone Cafe every time we are passing through St. Louis. The Walleye fish dinner is their speciality but all their fish dinners are excellent. In our party our order consisted of Crabcakes, Frog legs, and of course the Walleye.
Three nights a week they offer a kids special platter for 99 cents! What a bonus for parents. Their French fries are very good! The Green Goddess dressing is excellent on their house salad.
The atmosphere is casual, so come as you are.“

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!“

“In a city where restaurants tend to be mediocre and homogeneous this is a really neat exception. The historic building has a great vibe, the food was solid and the cocktails in the speakeasy were some of the best we have had in west county.“

“My favorite place for a burger in West County. Beer is cold and staff is friendly. Good healthy options if you’re into that kind of thing. Golf simulators, but remember to make a “tee time” which is easy to do via their website.“

“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.“

“The BBQ ribs were amazing! The baked beans are just enough smoke!“

“Great first visit. Seems like a popular place. The potato soup was good. The dinner/side salad was good. The service was pretty good. The menu has a lot to choose from. We will plan to go back to try the pizza.The vibe is fun for after work get togethers. The menu has lots of options. Definitely a neighborhood place, which was good to find.“

“I've tried 'em all, and love 'em all. The Shack. Spencer's. Courtesy Diner. Each a can't miss.
But it doesn't get any better than Slingers. They KILL omelets and hash browns and biscuits & gravy and pancakes. ALL the breakfast faves. And it's a pretty drive 15 min south of Eureka. A plus for me.
Pssst... if you order coffee, THEY LEAVE A THERMAL POT ON YOUR TABLE!“

“Always a good experience. Sundays are fresh fried chicken. It’s like what you remember as a kid at grandmas house. Nothing compares! Except the country fried steak which we will be back for in 24 hours. Love the Brew Baus.“

“Stopped in at Bob Evans for breakfast . Had the Double Meat Farmer's Choice which was scrambled eggs , bacon , sausage links , hash browns and 3 pancakes . Every part was cooked perfectly . Had decaf coffee to go with it . Natalie was a great waitress , very polite and made a check on how things were going , very often . The restaurant was very clean . In all , this was a really good decision to stop here for breakfast . Would recommend this restaurant to all looking for a good meal along with wonderful employees ..“

“Don’t worry about new places popping up claiming to do what you do! You do it better! Still the best donuts in St. Louis bar none! Keep it up!“

“While I'll still recommend it...I did go to the Twin Oaks location tonight and they had taken the adult grilled cheese with tomato soup off the menu. 😢😢😢 I just had it there a few weeks ago. They had also taken the zucchini appetizer off the menu. Everything I went there to order is not completely off the menu. And there isn't a suitable substitute. I hope you'll consider bringing those back.“

“Amazing service and really good food! Thank you so much!“

“I highly recommend the breakfast buffet. It was so good we had it twice during our stay. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. We also had dinner there as well. Great portion sizes. Pretty good too, just a bit overpriced for dinner. However, one kid’s meal per adult was free so that helped. They were out of the steak that was on sale so we paid for the other steak meal. It was good, but not great for the price.The service we received from all 3 waitresses (Kameron, Nancy, and a young blonde lady) was wonderful. They were all very kind and didn’t rush us. Everyone there was nice. It’s a rare find when every person has great customer service so I definitely appreciate that. If we ever come back to town, we will most definitely stop in there again.“

“Very friendly staff who always deliver great food at a great prices , we have never had a bad experience here , plus they have a senior menu ! 5 stars all the way ! 🌟 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“My whole family loves HBH. We get both ham and turkey every Tday and sometimes Christmas too. We get all the sides and graze on them for days! Great taste, selection and service! My 16 year old twin sons eat it up!“

“A hidden Gem. Great folks always Absolutely the best drink prices“

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I just went here for lunch today, and it was awesome. The food was great, and our waitress was top notch. Keep up the great work. We can’t wait to come back.“

“My wife and I had lunch there. reasonably priced, food was excellent, great atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome. Thanks Brynne for taking care of us.“

“Best Bar around..everyone's like family. All holidays are like a family get together. Prices are great. Pet friendly and always doing fun things, poker runs, trivia, karaoke, blues, chili cook offs and fund raisers, Nick is one of a kind owner.“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

“Typically I recommend you guys, but whoever was working the meat slicer Dec 19th clearly needs a long enough break to take their prozac. Ive never had a Lion's Choice Roast Beef crumble out the bun entirely when picked up. It was more diced up than Taco Bell Meat.“

“I have been to the restaurant a couple of times and had good experiences. I have even ordered food on UberEats and it was good until today. I ordered the prime sandwich and it is always awesome! The side however was ridiculous. French fries do not travel well and the other sides didn’t sound good so I got the fruit. It was a half of a strawberry, 2 pitiful pieces of pineapple, a blackberry and an orange slice cut up. It was child size portion. I called because I thought it was a mistake. I talked to the GM and he agreed that it was small but that’s the right size because he packed it up. I was shocked that was acceptable to them. I recommend the sandwich, just don’t get the side of fruit.“

“My son wanted to celebrate his birthday at Dogwood, and he had the best time! We went around opening time, so there weren't many people there and they almost had the place to themselves. All the games were working, food was hot and delicious, our waiter was amazing!“

“We had an amazing time at Joey’s today, mostly thanks to our bartender Abigail! She was so kind and patient with us which is greatly appreciated, especially considering she’s in the heat all day. Lovely lady, literally will ALWAYS choose the patio if she’s out there.“

“Great family atmosphere, good food.“

“I had three bad experiences at global quesadilla on 141 and Clayton The first time I went in there they told me they don't accept cash. the second time I went in I got a quesadilla, some chips, and queso. the queso tasted awful. it tasted like warmed up canned cheese or something. I'd buy at the gas station but not the hot stuff in the dispenser that tasted better. And to be honest, there's nothing special about the quesadillas for the ingredients that go into it, the amount of time it takes to make and what they're charging for it. I find it ridiculous. if it's not going to taste good it should be cheap. at that point I'd rather make them at home. my third bad experience is a as a doordasher. after confirming the name of my customer, I proceeded to include my business card. global quesadilla doesn't own that food. that food was paid for by my customer. they have no right to tell me I can't put a business card with the food. the employee proceeds to yell at me multiple times to hand the food back to which I responded no twice and started walking out of the store. he proceeded to follow me out of the store continuing to yell at me and I had to tell him multiple times to back up/go inside / leave me alone. and if he touched me there's going to be a problem I shouldn't be in fear for my physical safety going into any establishment. they were also rude and unprofessional the first day I went in trying to pay with cash. how they've handled themselves multiple times is completely unacceptable. there's a reason why I only ate the food once. if I want Mexican food I'll make it myself or go to Taco Bell or a sit-down Mexican restaurant.“
