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.“

“It is a relaxed environment. Always fast courteous and friendly service. The only thing that I did not like the last time that I was there was the fact that I could not find a way on the get up and go paying system to change the amount that I had entered for the tip. It is possible that I missed it. I did look repeatedly and did not see a way to go back and change the amount of tip that I entered without totally backing out of the program and going back in. I just figured a dollar was not worth the stress. All I wanted to do was add $1.00 to the tip amount. Oh well.“

“I had the most kind and friendly service at this location with an employee named Joseph. He is such a hardworker and always wears a smile on his face. Because of him, ill definitely be back! The food was phenomenal as well“

Everything was ready when we got there and staff was friendly and even helped us with music and cutting and plating the cake.“

“food was good. staff was extremely friendly and helpful.“

“Party of 5. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My steak had tons of flavor and was cooked exactly medium rare. Service was great and you could feel our waitress cared. Definitely one of the better places I have eaten at in the gravois bluff area. Thank you for a great meal and experience!“

“i drove to helen fitzgerald’s 4 hours from KC a few weeks ago with my friend to try some wings and listen to JAM (and you should, too). we did not realize that you had to be 21+ to enter the bar section for live music, and my friend was not 21 yet. the manager, Jason, was so kind to us and allowed us to stay and listen to Jackson and Mars for a while and keep our yearly tradition of seeing them! huge thank you to Jason and all of the staff for showing us kindness and great service. AND the wings were amazing (and the wing sauce was worth the drive alone). will also be coming back when we are in st. louis next!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I stopped in Saturday night. We are new to the area and someone referred us to check it out. We sat at the bar and the bartender's name was Ashley! She was so nice, gave us her favorites and recommendations. I tried the Elderberry Martini which was delish! My husband had the smoked Old Fashion. I love the great variety of the menu. And they offer a Gluten free menu. I wanted to try everything. We landed on the firecracker cauliflower appetizer which was amazing. For dinner we had the Cajun pasta and the Fish and chips. We will definitely be back for the great Happy Hour they offer during the week that Ashley went over with us too.“

“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!“

“My French Dip sandwich was really good! I loved the gooey, melted cheese! My grandson got the Italian sandwich and said there was a lot of meat on it. My husband got a salad, which was huge! He enjoyed it as well.
The atmosphere was okay...nothing special. The girl that took our order could use a little more personality when dealing with customers.“

“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!“

“This is such a great place to hang out with friends. Great food and friendly service. We always enjoy karaoke on Friday nights with Beth the KJ. Love that it’s non smoking!“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly employees and patrons.“

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

“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 .

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 ..“

“Valley Park MO location was very accommodating to a party of almost 30 outside. We were in the covered patio area, perfect for a small youth sports group. Waitresses were organized, food was fast and delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Older bar and grill with good food and plenty of space. Pool, gaming and Foosball on site. Friendly wait staff and our party of 7 was quickly seated. Several tvs with different games going on. Ceiling fans made it a little drafty so bring a coat or sweat shirt in case you get cool.“

“Such great food but our server made the experience!! Thank you Bryan Humphrey for the wine recommendation and food! The goat cheese stuffed dates was the perfect end to a perfect night!“
