“Enjoyed Sunday Brunch!!!!“

“I've been going here since I was a little kid and their food is still unmatched. Old timey, diner-style restaurant with friendly service, to-die-for ice cream, and plenty of lovely memories. Also has great pricing and a claw machine I've won two stuffed animals from, which is in my opinion a good record. Highly reccommend mozzarella sticks, fries, and waffle cone sundae (mint chip is superior).“

“I found them on Doordash and the food was delicious and the burger was huge. I couldn't even finish it. I'm definitely going to order from them again.“

“Great food, great people, great atmosphere.“

“Had a great time. Our meals were great. Two of us had pancakes with strawberries. One had the Old Timers and the other had new Cinnamon rolls skillet. That skillet was amazing. Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed.“

“Delicious food, attentive service, and cozy ambiance. Highly recommended for a delightful mea“

“Our visit in arnold was great. I didn't remember to take pictures until halfway through our meal. We had no wait to be seated. Our waitress was great, very attentive to the right amount. We always enjoy eating at Applebee's!
The atmosphere is always relaxed. You can tell they are working with an older restaurant, but it's pretty clean every time we've visited.
The last few times, they haven't had Cucumber for the Salads which is a downside for me but it wont keep me from coming back.“

“Varied experience with food. 3/4 of our party enjoyed our food. Ham sliders were good, slaw was able to be put on the side, though it was clear maraschino cherries were involved in the glaze and jalapeños were involved in the jam (not disclosed). The french dip was good, as were the fries, mac and cheese, and goat cheese appetizer. The pork porterhouse was just about the saltiest meal I have ever tasted. It tasted like it was brined, seasoned, and serves with salt while also being cooked on a salt block. It made it hardly edible and contaminated the mashed potatoes and carrots that were paired with it, making it difficult to enjoy the sides. The server took a European waiting style, slow and steady. Taking time to approach us, which we did not mind as much, though other tables seemed to get better attention. All staff were kind and helpful. Parking is a little tight. Overall a decent experience, despite the high price point, which overall does not match the aesthetics of the bistro style interior or the casual uniform of staff.“

“As usual they won’t failed their costumers, our waitress so nice which I forget her name to asked🙈 but the time she noticed I am devouring the rolls, she asking us if we want more and yes she really good of her job.🙌🤓🥰 highly recommended“

“This is five star, forgot to change it on my previous review“

“Always good, friendly service“

“The meals and service at Frankie Gs are always top notch and today was no exception. Me friend ordered the reuben sandwich and commented how good the marbled rye bread was as well as the flavor of the corned beef. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and asked the kitchen to add jalapenos. The wrap came out as ordered and was delicious. One negative: It was a cold day and supplies were being delivered through the back door. Everytime the back door opened freezing air blasted into the dining area. It might be helpful to put an intermediate door on the back hallway that could be closed during deliveries.“

“We always have great food and great service!“

“1st time there had to try their St Louis Style Pizza. It was very good. Great service.“

“Heather our waitress was fantastic. Service was good. Food was so wonderful . I highly recommend it“

“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!“

“When people ask why I go to Waffle house I say Josh. When people ask why I live my life I say Josh. This man does everything around here. He is the main figurehead for Waffle house. He is a very Jolly man (not referring Santa Clause). Waffle was very delicious. He will serve your food fast and make you happy in every way! He has a very nice trimmed beard. Thank you Josh for the extravagant experience!“

“2nd time here while passing through with a crew I oversee and thought I'd buy them lunch. Had the steak sandwich again it's once again. delicious. Same chef as last time. Waitress, girl with black pigtails, sorry (forgot your name) was friendly and attentive.

Might be known as a biker bar but delivers in other areas.“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“My favorite place to grab a bite to eat or drink after my Mt. Bike ride at Cliff Cave .“

“Food is always amazing with the best service. We have never been disappointed!!“

“Great pinball bar!! The selection of pinball games is excellent. Bartender was a little to boisterous, but still nice. We went on a Saturday night, it was dead... let me tell you why. Karaoke, and it was HORRIBLE. Not that having karaoke is horrible, it's the few people that were there that couldn't sing. You could tell it was a few regulars and that's what is keeping more people from coming. We left because it was so bad. Will definitely be back though when no karaoke is going on“

“this place is a hole in the wall that's been here forever. it's what you would expect and then some. great for karaoke opens at 6:00 a.m. for breakfast and drinks been going there for years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. keno and lotto“

“🥰GREAT service and food. My wife and I had the fish and chips. It was one of the best we have had.“

“Good food, and selection of drinks, but I absolutely love their staff & entertainment. Went on karaoke night, and Sean was so persuasive, that he got our whole group to go up and sing! Was a great night, with great memories- hit up this bar for any of their activities, or drinks, as this is the place to be.“

“Great atmosphere, great place to watch your favorite teams, great service and great food! They also offer daily specials and live music on the heated patio Tuesdays and Thursdays.“

“We went there as out of towners from Indiana. We had the strip steak sandwich, with waffle fries . It was Great! Nice atmosphere , the food was really good. It was a full house , our waitress Grace was busting butt and still gave us great service. The staff was really nice. We asked for a table , then changed our minds and wanted a booth instead, and the staff still was really nice about it. I give 5 stars.“

“Just wish they had the chicken pats still on the menu and the special!“

“We have had the Best Pizza in St. Louis so much better then IMOs. Grand slam pizza supreme is completely nutritious. Our pizza - we have had a few - was absolutely the most delicious pizza I’ve had bacon , vegetables, cheese, pepperoni just wonderful pizza. Give them a try just once…….“

“One of the very few fast food places I will eat at. Since moving to STL it has become one of my favorite treats. Everything on the menu is amazing.“

“fun spot. always treated good and have a good time.“

“My hubby and I enjoyed a great lunch here today. Food tasted great and was fresh. Great service and experience 👏“

“Wesli the wonderful waitress“

“Service friendly. Order completely terrible Ride manager It's no wonder they closedost of locations“

“Bryant made my mother-in-law’s birthday unforgettable!

From the moment we were seated, Bryant set the tone for an amazing celebration. He greeted my mother-in-law by name, checked in just the right amount, and somehow anticipated everything we needed before we even asked. Drinks were always refreshed, he offered spot-on menu suggestions, and he timed each course perfectly so our group could relax and enjoy the evening.

What really stood out was how genuinely he cared about making the birthday special. Bryant arranged a festive dessert surprise, rallied the team for a quick “happy birthday,” and even offered to take photos so we could all be in the moment. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional—this was hands-down the best customer service we’ve had in a long time.

Thank you, Bryant, for turning a simple dinner into a memory our family will talk about for years. If you’re visiting, ask for Bryant—you’ll be in the best hands!“
