“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“A hidden Gem. Great folks always Absolutely the best drink prices“

“Me and my wife and friend came here last night we had outside seating which was great due to weather. My wife ordered the blue cheese burger my server said it was not on the menu but she made it happen. That's what I call perfect customer service at 100% will go back when ever I fly back from Jersey.“

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy“

“Wonderful staff, wonderful environment. The blend-your-own-bottle package was an incredible value, and a lot of fun. We were largely left to our own devices. After a short introduction, we were allowed to sip and explore at our own pace, and could sample as many and as often as we wanted. Of course, staff were always nearby and eager to help us out with anything we needed. As a group, we were able to chat and make our own experience. Highly recommend.“

“I absolutely LOVE the Orange Dreamsicle at Narwhals! It's my favorite guilty pleasure. If you remember orange pushpops - this drink will bring you right back to your childhood. I have tried several other favors and they are all delicious but the orange dreamsicle is the best.

I get Narwhals frequently and I have even had them cater an event. Having the drink machines at our family reunion was a huge hit. They made the experience so pleasant and easy - I highly recommend adding their service to your next event.

I go out of my way to get Narwhals and love it everytime. The employees are always so friendly and helpful with trying new flavors. I highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't.

And our kids love their smoothies. They have great non-alcholic options as well.“

“Stopped by for a chill night and was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was actually pretty decent—crispy crust, good flavor, and hit the spot. The pool tables were a nice bonus and kept things fun without feeling too crowded.
Big shoutout to Billy W. behind the bar—super friendly, quick with drinks, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely the kind of bartender that keeps you coming back.“

“This place is the most welcoming, warm, full of good people dive bar I have ever been to in my life. Lots of pinball machines, wonderful bartenders and patrons, Dan-o's pizza if you get hungry. The pinball machines are half the cost. They are anywhere else that I've been to. The owners are amazing. And the people are such a great group of people. This place has been my home bar for 4 years and I don't see that changing. I always feel safe, welcome, and protected when I am in this bar. Highly recommend, especially if you are into pinball and punk rock“

“Awesome food!! Best in west county!“

“THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND THEY ACTUALLY COOK YOUR FOOD TO ORDER FRESH ALSO MISS TRACI WAS ABSOLUTELY THE NICEST LADY EVER DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK HIGLY RECOMMEND THE FOOD LOOKS EXACTLY HOW ITS PICTURED A1 THE ENVIRONMENT IS ALSO VERY CLEAN“

“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“

“Great bar, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Great local bar and good drinks! I’ll be back!“

“Wonderful spot! The bar tender was super sweet and attentive, and the patrons were all very nice. Very clean and welcoming, but still maintaining the small town bar atmosphere we were looking for. We were made to feel at home from the beginning. If we are ever here again, we will be sure to stop by. :)“

“Best Bar around..everyone's like family. All holidays are like a family get together. Prices are great. Pet friendly and always doing fun things, poker runs, trivia, karaoke, blues, chili cook offs and fund raisers, Nick is one of a kind owner.“

“I’ve been here twice. First time was for my bachelorette party. This boat was perfect! We were put up in the karaoke room right away and our server came up frequently to make sure we had enough drinks and everything was good. It was the perfect night! Then we went again yesterday for my birthday. The drinks were fantastic and there was plenty to keep us entertained while waiting for our turn in the karaoke room. The only flaw in the night was fixed right away by the amazing security staff and the manager! I would only suggest a better system for the karaoke waitlist. We were called for our room and went up only to be told by the waitress (who did not check the waitlist) that someone else had the room and even though they booked after us we needed to leave. I wish I had gotten the names of the security staff and manger because when we brought this issue to them they resolved it right away and we were able to enjoy some karaoke to end the night. Thank you to all the security staff and the manager (those 5 stars for you) for helping end our night on a good note! I will alway recommend this place to people and will gladly go here for any birthday in the future! ❤️ Also we did not eat here but we saw Nachos coming out that looked absolutely 🔥 and if the kitchen had still been open we would have ordered some!“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“I love their food. And iv always been treated very well. My babies love to come here and eat and so far iv not had anything I didn’t like off their menu.“

“This was my first time here and can I tell you what a great time I had listening to the greatest play-list of all. The whole Bar, including Larry, was singing.. The greatest bartender Karen made me feel like I was from Kirkwood, MO and I can't wait to come back.“

“Parents night out! Quintessential dive bar with very tasty bar food. Just what we were looking for. Cheeseburger with pub cheddar cheese = mouthwatering. Great watering hole for the locals & those just passing through. Downstairs bar and an upstairs section complete with a railing to check on all the happenings. 10/10“

“I a local band called Heege Rd there. The sound was better than I thought it would be and atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Everybody working, from the woman working the door to the bartender, and my server were all very friendly and attentive. I will be back!“

Can’t recommend it enough!“

“I got a pizza with garlic alfredo sauce and italian sausage and extra cheese. My pizza arrived as ordered. I had to wait for a refill of my drink twice. The was only 1 server working today at lunch and for the size of this place they should have a second server at lunch.“

“We went to Astoria for the first time and I was blown away by the wonderful food and service, The lamb and chicken kabobs were very flavorful and juicy. The beef dumplings apps with dill was tremendous. Service was on point. You need to come here and treat yourselves. We are coming back!“

“Most expensive dinner I have ever splurged for but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! It really felt special. All of it. We really loved our server too , Martin (Marteen). Just wish we had not waited so long to go!“

“We got seated promptly and our waitress was very attentive. We did not order any appetizers, but the drinks were great. They had a signature cocktail of the evening since it was Valentine's Day weekend. I got the special for the evening. 14oz bone in filet and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. The potatoes and asparagus were delicious also. My wife for the steak and fries. Nice ribeye and loads of fries. She also said that s very good. We got got a desert. They were nice and decadent and rich in flavor. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend recommend this place again. Thanks for making our evening special!“

“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“

“Cute little restaurant and bar. Met a friend for lunch. I ordered the BLC Salad. They mix the ranch dressing into the salad which was a nice plus. The salad was huge which was another huge plus. I like when the sliced egg and chicken are warm when the rest of the salad ingredients are cold. Fresh ingredients and very flavorful. The vibe of this restaurant felt like a neighborhood bar like Cheers. Very good service.“

“Mi Lupita's is our favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. We love the fresh squeezed Margaritas, Chicken Mole Poblano, El Pastor Tacos of pork and pineapple. Great service, atmosphere and everyone is o friendly. Best of luck on your new location.“

“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.“

“Awesome food and very warm on a cold day. Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“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!“
