New American Restaurants near Lake Saint Louis, MO

“Great place to go for breakfast. Their mini pancakes are more what I would call a short stack & delicious. My wife's favorite omelet place. I had the country fried steak skillet. Very tasty with the steak cut into mouth size bites and smothered in gravy over hash browns. Generous servings with reasonable prices. Cheerful staff.“

“First time in, very impressed! Food, Service, Atmosphere all 5 STARS!! Josh did an outstanding job as our waiter, very friendly and his recommendations were spot on! We had the Chicken Lasagna, salad with their house made Pepper Vinaigrette and for dessert we had the Chai Cream Brulee - everything was excellent! We will for sure be back.“

“It looks a little basic from outside. Inside holds bar seating, and a myriad of tables. It is not fancy.But,the food! The food is delicious. Pretty much all of it. We have gone many times, and everyone always loves their chosen dish. The chef is wonderful and the staff is courteous and does a great job. They have daily specials which also prove delish each time. Our favorite is the Sunday chicken dinner. It’s the only restaurant we have been to where the chicken breast is not salted to point of inedible. Fresh mashed potatoes are wonderful. Highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant.“

“My absolute favorite taco joint! I'm pretty picky and stick to my usual when it comes to tacos the beef tacos are my go to. The food is always fresh and the service is always friendly, but to me the best part is what they stand for and every meal you purchase, also provides a meal for a hungry child. Now that right there is something worth stopping in for. Tacos 4 Life thank you for doing good, it reminds me that there are still good people in this world when things seem so hopeless at times.“

“The food was very good. I had a burger and fries and both were prepared perfectly. I ordered the burger cooked medium, and I was pleasantly surprised when showed up as ordered, and seasoned just right.This was our first visit there and will be back for sure.“

“Local pub with casual noatmosphere and friendly knowledgeable service. Great draft beer selection with reasonable prices. Excellent Happy Hour menu, available even on the weekends offering an outstanding pulled pork slider. Comfortable and family friendly with plenty of parking.“

“Amazing food and service! The hostess did an awesome job with demanding rude impatient people today waiting for a table and our waitress was amazing too keeping our drinks full and checking on us. The food was delicious. It was packed but what do you expect on a Sunday? You got to wait your turn and be patient! We will back again!“

“Tonight was our first visit to Dogwood Social House and overall it was a pretty good experience. I will say I was a little nervous given the low Yelp ratings, but they exceeded our expectations. The place is huge (I believe it was a former Gold's gym) and there were plenty of seating options. I wanted to sit outside since it was nice out but I was afraid we might be overlooked as no one else was out there. There are high top tables, large round tables, cozy couch seating that offers some intimacy- and more. This would definitely be a great place to meet a group of folks. There is a huge screen playing random music videos that were fun to watch, even if some of the songs made us cringe (Guns 'N Roses, Rednex, Billy Ray Cyrus AND Miley Cyrus [separately] Fountains of Wayne, Black Eyed Peas, etc.) The Cardinals game was on another screen and fighting on yet another. There are lots of recreation opportunities- from billiards to giant Jenga, giant Connect Four, axe throwing, shuffleboard, slot machines, claw machines, skee ball, etc. Happy Hour is in effect til 6pm but sangria sounded pretty refreshing, so I ordered the cherry merlot version. It was good, but extremely cherry flavored. It came with a slice of orange, a slice of lime and a slice of lemon. Also, it was a pretty big serving, which was poured over ice and served in a bucket. I definitely felt the much-needed buzz I was seeking. Not bad for $10. I would probably try the strawberry sangria if I had to do it again. And our waiter offered to replace it for me, but it was good enough so I finished it. I ordered the garbage burger- a recommendation from our waiter. It was pretty good- two beef patties with hash browns, egg, bacon, onions, etc. I would have liked for the egg yolk to have been runny- as that gives the burger a delicious sauce. It was a filling dinner. It came with a side of sidewinders, which are large fries in a twisty shape. I dipped them in ranch dressing as that's what the waiter brought. My husband ordered the pulled pork nachos. They are plentiful-and served on a large baking pan. He was able to eat them all, but I'm not sure everyone would. It's a lot! He enjoyed them. Based on this experience, I'll go back again and try some other things.“
