“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.“

“Always good, friendly service“

“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.“

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

“If you haven’t been to Cellar House yet, you’re missing out. It’s one of those rare spots that feels like a hidden gem — honestly surprised it wasn’t busier on a Friday night.
The bourbon selection is excellent, and they went above and beyond by making a custom Chinese Manhattan for us that wasn’t even on the menu. That kind of flexibility and attention to detail really stands out.
The food is clean, straightforward, and very well executed. The ahi sliders were perfectly seared — wouldn’t change a thing. The fries were crispy, clearly cooked in clean oil, and seasoned just right, paired with a bright, well-balanced aioli. The rigatoni had vibrant, developed flavors — highly recommend keeping it as is without adding meat. It holds its own.
Service was exceptional. We stayed about 30 minutes past closing catching up with a friend and never felt rushed. In fact, they offered another round. That level of hospitality is rare.
The patio ambiance deserves its own mention — relaxing, tucked away, and surprisingly peaceful despite being near a busy road. It’s the perfect spot to sip a bourbon or enjoy a glass of wine and unwind.
They rotate their menu seasonally, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they’re doing.
No notes, no requests — just a great experience all around. From a customer, a chef, and someone who needed a solid night to relax… thank you.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Every table was full which is to be expected on Valentine’s Day and mardi gra on a Saturday. I was impressed with the staff. Everyone seemed to be operating smooth, busy, but smooth. There were older white women and a black women. I can’t express enough how great it was to watch them work together and so efficiently!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“The Asian wings were great and the side salad was way above average (I eat a lot of salads). Fresh salad, great cheese and croutons made a definite difference. The wait for dessert was rather long (longer than it took to get our meal) but the fried banana bread was amazing and the value made it even better based on the huge portion. No average or ordinary food here!! Can't wait to try other things when we return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Was a wonderful dining experience. Food and service was great. Will definitely come here again!“

“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.“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“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…….“

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

“Wesli the wonderful waitress“

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

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

“This location is THE BEST! If you want guaranteed great service, ask for Lauren! She was amazing—very friendly, polite, and extremely attentive. This was by far the best location my family and I have visited, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice very friendly workers great food“
