“Family owed and very friendly family! Great food“

“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“

“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.“

“We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and ordered various ice cream treats, burgers, and chicken strips. It was all delicious. We thought it was probably the best chicken strips we've ever had. Keep up the great work Young's! Extra special thanks to Sam!“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Thoroughly impressed with the teamwork going on at Culver’s in Eureka, Illinois. We dropped in with 20 guests and served quick with many smiles. Manager has and is running a good crew. Bravo. Thanks again!“

“PJs is a fantastic bar and grill“

“My girlfriend and I had our very first visit on 6/27/25. The staff was phenomenal, well accepting of our service dog with zero hesitation. Griffin (I think it was his name) is one of the best servers I’ve had in month if not the last couple years. He deserves a raise. He was very patient with us, great attitude and manors and we noticed him being just as good to other tables near us. Food was amazing. The theme of the place was quite different and interesting. Whether it’s in 5 months or 5 years we intend to visit again in hopes of same great service in food.“

“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.“

“Had lunch today for the first time since their remodel. It was very good, we will be going back. Had the Woolworth club and the fried catfish. 👍👍“

“You know, fast food restaurants? There’s low ones and there’s high-end ones. Culver’s is definitely one of the high-end fast food restaurants. I’m not a huge fan of their hamburgers, but their chicken sandwiches are almost impossible to beat. As good as the normal chicken sandwich is, the spicy one will just blow your socks off, it’s so delicious. And if anybody makes better french fries in the St. Louis area, I don’t know who it might be. And don’t get me started on the ice cream. Culver’s has my highest personal recommendation.“

“50th Anniversary for my in-laws. Space was very clean when we went to set up and they had just done another event that morning. Staff was super helpful while we were getting the place ready. Everything was ready when we got there and staff was friendly and even helped us with music and cutting and plating the cake.“

“I have been coming in here for a few months now and it’s always clean. The staff is always so sweet and recognizes me when I come with a nice greeting. I ordered the healthy choice, chicken broccoli, and mashed potatoes and every single time I order the order is correct and it’s hot. It is served quickly and the servers and bartenders are pretty amazing.“

“Friendly staff, quick service, great food“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“Neat place with very reasonable prices, but my hamburger had an odd smell to it. It was almost as if it was made and stuck in the fridge for a couple of days. The server was kind but did not visit our table often. All this said, I would definitely go back and give it and shot because it just had a nice ma and pa homemade food feel to it.“

“Delicious, food is fresh and hot, after ordering and getting drinks. Food was quickly delivered to our table by server.
It was nice he even asked if there was anything else we needed. The place was busy, the drive tru was busy and fast. The staff was very friendly. This was an unplanned diner with a daughters family.
Granddaughter loved the chicken strips. She had to get the napkins and ketchup for the table. They enjoyed the ice cream of the day“

“Got the Breaded Mushrooms and Onions Rings for a lunch snack this afternoon. Been awhile since I've had them and Clancy's once again did not disappoint! Always recommended to eat at this great place!“

“First time guests to this restaurant. 2 weeks ago we decided to try it and were extremely pleased!!! Ordered the wings and 3 different salads. The food was great ? and the price was very reasonable! Definitely plan on going back.“

“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.“

“Great food, efficient friendly waitress & welcoming Manager!“

“From the kids menu: PBF&J Peanut butter & marshmallow fluff mix, and grape jelly on toasted Belgian waffle. Served with plain tots. Grandkids loved it! This is my 4th time here, tonight I had the Baja Cod fish taco, outstanding.“

“Their excellent fish and they even have frog legs and homemade ice cream.“

“Best dinner we’ve had in a long time. The “trio” appetizer was awesome, salads were great and our main courses were incredible. Will definitely come back again!“

“Aug 11 about 9:30 am. What a wonderful brunch spot. It’s between two sections of a shopping center and at a hair raising intersection but the breezeway was perfect on a summer day. Friendly staff, interesting menu, and a quick correction to an erroneously executed special request. We all ordered a different dish but all 5 of us were happy with the presentation and flavor. And no side-eye for lingering. Wish I didn’t live 300 miles away-I’d definitely come back!!!“

“Really not into gourmet pizzas but these are really good would definitely go back“

“The Hay Market is within the Holiday Inn at Six Flags and is within a historical dairy barn that was converted many years ago...

Through out the years we have dined here off and on... on Thanksgiving Day they offered a holiday themed buffet... which was delicious...

Melissa was our waitress that day... she was attentive and stopped by to make sure we we not in need of anything... everyone was kind and wonderful...

We will definitely eat there again...“

“For as crowded as this place is during live band nights, the owner and staff work very hard and successfully deliver great service!“

“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“Great food and great service. Can’t really ask for much more.“

“There for the Steelers game, Helen's is the St Louis hub for Steelers fans. Excellent for game watching, so many TVs with multiple options to watch your team.
Food is always great, good service, especially for how busy they were. Nice pub decor. A personal preference would be to have low tables in bar area, not a fan of high tops.“

“I love Chicks! I love working and helping out here as well! My favs are there fries with cheese and their biscuits and gravy! I love the staff and owners!“

“Sara is the reason we keep coming back to this Hotshots. She is super attentive, always offers a welcome and always remembers our names and drink orders. The other bartenders and waitresses are good too. Great place to watch the game or have a draft party. Get the Philly for sure. It also has popular Happy Hour specials, darts, pool, Golden Tee and TouchTunes.“

“We came here with our Boston fan group to watch the Celtics for their title clinching game and had a great experience. The staff was super accommodating and the food was great. We look forward to mixing Ice & Fuel into our game watch rotation in the future!“

“Love three kings. We had a great dinner with great service. Maharaja on tap!“

“We usually stop at this location when passing through the area a couple of times a year. The food is always very good and this time didn't disappoint!

We will definitely be back!“

“Walnut catering provided food for my daughters wedding 6/21 at Stonehouse of St.Charles. The food was outstanding and they went above by adding an extra appetizer. Service was excellent.

Exceeding my expectation all around!“
