“It was a rare out of town date night for us and we chose Olive and Oak for a couple reasons. They were open late on Sunday and the menu looked amazing. From start to finish, this was a wonderful dining experience. The NA mocktails were amazing. The atmosphere is stunning. We tried several different things on the menu and were not disappointed by any of them. Our server, Jordan, was fantastic. My boyfriend is a restaurant owner/chef in Columbia and to watch him truly enjoy every bit of that meal made my heart happy as well. We will absolutely be back. Many times:)“

“I recently ordered takeout from King Grill Restaurant, and I was beyond impressed with both the quality of the food and the overall service. The ordering process was smooth and easy, with the staff being friendly and helpful when I called in. My food was ready on time, and the packaging was secure and neat—everything arrived hot and fresh“

“No wait time at 4pm on a Tuesday for 3 people. Our server, Mikaela, was marvelous! She never seemed to hover but was there when needed. The food was excellent! I ordered the country fried steak with street corn and was not disappointed at all. My family ordered meatloaf with okra and Mashed potatoes and they were extremely happy. Made sure to let the manager know how much we enjoyed everything.“

“Start with the Pork Belly Cheese Fries! I highly suggest the DLT sandwich with tater tots. Be sure to save room for some macarons. A staple in Maplewood: the staff is friendly, the bar has some great offerings, and the food is delicious. I highly suggest making a second trip to try brunch - you can't go wrong with Eggs Bene-duck.“

“A Hidden Gem in St. Louis!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I were visiting for an event when we heard about this spot from some friendly folks at the airport—and wow, what a recommendation! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy, cute, and creatively inviting, setting the perfect tone for an amazing experience. THE FOOD? Absolutely incredible. We ordered enough to last the weekend, and let me tell you—those Brisket Burnt Ends & The Brisket Burger somehow tasted even better the next day! The potato skins were delicious too, packed with flavor. What really stood out was that this place isn't just for vegans—it's for anyone who loves great food and stellar service! If we’re ever back in St. Louis, we’re coming straight here without a doubt. Highly recommend! #StLouisEats #FoodieFind #HighlyRecommended #BrisketBurntEnds #VeganOrNotYoullLoveIt“

“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! 😋“

“Bone in chicken, chicken strips, smash burgers, ice cream“

“Always fast, great temperature, amazing taste and quality of fresh ingredients. It has become one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat! The prices are also fantastic especially compared to most other places, with very generous portions.“

“The lobby was kept amazingly clean and the hostess (Anita) was vey pleasant and friendly. She offered me a free cup of coffee for dining inside.“

“Bring back the roasted tomato tarte! The best item on the menu for me was the Roasted Tomato Tarte that I enjoyed on numerous occasions. It was even highlighted on their menu as a favorite. So I scheduled a lunch with family and looked forward to the Roasted Tomato Tarte again today. BUT IT IS NO LONGER ON THE MENU!!! Bummer! I asked for the recipe and they said they would send it. I sure hope they will and also restore it to the menu.“

“We had an office boxed luncheon and the food was amazing, delivery was on time and ordering was super simple. The staff is always so friendly and they accommodated a lot of our dietary restrictions. Got many praises for the food and so will definitely order from them again. Love when we can support small businesses that have amazing food.“

“Last night’s visit to Farmhaus for my birthday celebration was truly exceptional. From the moment we stepped into this delightful farm-to-table establishment, we were enveloped in an ambiance of enticing aromas, cozy warmth, and genuine authenticity. The food, a harmonious blend of flavors and freshness, left us utterly speechless. Opting to share our selections among the three of us, each dish we sampled proved to be a culinary masterpiece. It was evident with each plate’s arrival that they were crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to using only the finest ingredients. From the irresistible appetizers to the delectable entrees and divine desserts, every bite was sheer perfection. We found it impossible to choose a favorite, as each dish offered a sublime combination of simplicity and flavor. The service was equally impressive, with the staff effortlessly balancing fine dining attentiveness with a laid-back charm. The impeccable timing of each dish’s delivery, coupled with the staff’s friendly yet professional demeanor, made us feel genuinely cherished and attended to throughout the evening. If I had to highlight one dish that stole the spotlight, it would undoubtedly be the wahoo fish with asparagus cream sauce. Caught fresh by the chef himself just days before, it stands as a true testament to Farmhaus’s unwavering commitment to sourcing the freshest ingredients. Truly, each dish we enjoyed was a culinary revelation, from the irresistible beef carpaccio with its luscious ancho spiced whipped cream to the rich and savory osso bucco, and the remarkably tender and flavorful beef skewers. And let’s not forget the delicately sweet strawberry tarte, a perfect ending to an exquisite meal. As a Taurus foodie who savors the nuances of fine flavors and a welcoming ambiance, I can wholeheartedly attest that Farmhaus has secured a permanent place in my heart. I hope to make dinner at Farmhaus an annual birthday tradition for many years to come!“

“Well-made, diner style food. Great pancakes, hash browns, corned beef hash, biscuits & gravy, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Amazing server, I wish I remembered his name. He's like a mind-reader!“

“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!“

“We met up with family from out of town on Friday night. The food was great as always. We sat and chit chatted for a bit after we were finished eating. Our sever was cut and we were not told. When we were ready to leave the server who had taken over our table was very rude and made a comment I finally get my station back! As we were getting up and walking away she went further to say that maybe she will be able to get a table finally before she’s cut. Nothing was mentioned about her needing her table or anything of that nature otherwise we would have gladly given it up. We’ve never had this issue when dining at biggies before. We were astonished and how rude she was instead of just asking us if we were finished. She never offered to refill our drinks or anything. We are very disappointed as we believed this was a family friendly environment who did not have an issue with a family getting together to celebrate the holiday early“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“Normally I would have given Joey B's a 5 star review because in the past it was always great but this last visit the food was a little bit off for some reason but still good. Our waitress was very slow and she seemed overwhelmed because the rest of the staff were jamming. I will go back and hopefully be able to update this review with a 5 star.“

“My 4 year old LOVES to cook, everyone was so welcoming and helpful when we visited! Everything is always clean and organized and the food is delicious! It was nice to prep meals and provide a great learning experience all in one! My little chef and I will be back!“

“Often it's hard to find someplace special to go for lunch. This is a place that is always perfect. I'm guilty almost always ordering the same thing. But if I could, I would probably just eat a plate of popovers! I'm sure I'm not the only one!“

“Fantastic as always! Probably the best burger in St. Louis. These 2oz smash burgers are seared to perfection.The Louie was a nice choice with sautéed peppers and onions. Next time I’d add a third party.Pro tip, there’s a gated parking lot but it’s free!“

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

“I don't know if the chocolate shake recipe changed or not but what I got was almost frozen chocolate milk. I took it back in and was told that's the shake. Hope not, they used be thick and creamy that was like a protein powder shake or Nesquick. I'll remember not to complain too, jeez 😒“

“Not only was the food amazing, but we received first class service from our server, Travis!!! VERY fresh & delicious food with a large menu, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommend.“

“PJs is a fantastic bar and grill“

“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.“

“Food was excellent, service was great! Our bartender was awesome!“

“This is one of our few breakfast places and we just love everyone there especially the owner. You won’t be disappointed with anything you order. I order something different each time usually and have not been disappointed so far. Will be back and we love Mia! Our favorite waitress! 🙌❤️“

“Chef Sabrina deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. My Dinner..Lobster stuffed Rainbow Trout, Charbroiled Oysters, Mac & Cheese & Loaded Sweet Potato Tots all cooked to perfection!“

“We ordered five meals. All of them were superb. The staff was warm friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was pleasant.“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“The buffet good was cold. I ordered from the cook, and he seemed frustrated. The clean-up crew were very impatient with the customers that were eating. They were rushing us to eat, so I don't think I will be eating in the dining area anymore.“

“My experience at CATHY’S Restaurant & Diner, was amazing. It was my sister and I first time eating there. We were welcomed by Mrs. Kathy herself, with that beautiful Smile, Charming personality, and Professionalism. Very clean restaurant, while our food was being prepared we were able to adore all the pictures of mrs. Cathy featured with so many celebrities all over the walls of the restaurant, along with other wall memorabilia’s The presentation of the Cajun Shrimp Pasta,and the Fish and Shrimp Combo both are must try dishes, and soooo delicious! From the first taste to the last bite left a lasting impression. I/we will definitely be back to try more of Mrs. CATHY’S amazing dishes and the Banana Pudding, and Strawberry Cakes. Sincerely, Mrs. Tina & Ciara ❤️“

“Haven't been back to St. Louis for awhile and knew we needed to go to The Crossing for dinner. Jim Fiala and his team hits it out of the park in every way. 3 courses paired with wine and each spot on. Last time there we brought our own wine as it was a special bottle. No problem as long as it wasn't on their list and the wine cellar is extensive. If you want an extraordinary dining experience please go.“
