“That's some delicious fried chicken. Well breaded and fried with a nice base level of spiciness. I got a recommendation to check it out, so I was a little surprised they didn't have different levels of spiciness, but it was very tasty, so it worked for me.Standard sides are beans and slaw, which were both good. The fried okra was a step up and fresh with a good batter.We were a walk-in party of 8, which they were easily able to accommodate, but the food took a little longer than we anticipated. Well worth the wait.“

“Born & Raised in Louisiana- I never thought I’d find a place that made me feel like I was eating at home! The food, the atmosphere, the hospitality…. I can not believe I just found this place but definitely has turned into one of my favorites!!!! Kyle was absolutely amazing!!!“

“Finally made it to Honey Bees for some biscuits and gravy along with a breakfast Sammie. The 2 guys working the counter were warm and welcoming when I walked up. Of course, I wanted to try the biscuits & gravy as it's one of my go tos at any breakfast restaurant. The gravy was very delicious as I selected the classic sausage gravy. The reason I state classic is they have 3 choices of gravy. Yes, you heard me right 3 homemade gravies to select from for your huge biscuits with gravy. Sausage gravy, spicy sausage gravy, or vegan choice mushroom gravy. My only criticism would be to cut the biscuit in half, pour some gravy over it, then put the top back on and pour gravy over the top. The reason I say that is there needs to be more gravy as it's a huge biscuit, and I needed more gravy. Otherwise, it was too much biscuit and not enough gravy.Now they had Sammie, so I definitely had to try one. I selected the egg, cheese, and sausage Sammie. Nuw you get a choice on the type of biscuit for your Sammie. Love that they have different choices on their items. The biscuit choices are honey glazed or Midwest rancher, which is a spicy biscuit. You know me, I had to try the Midwest rancher biscuit. I haven't tried it yet, that will be breakfast or lunch tomorrow. I can tell you ita huge as are all their biscuits. My choice was egg, sausage, and cheese on the Midwest rancher biscuit. I looked at it and really smart the cook the egg in a square shape with great seasoning, sausage patty was big too boot and cheese was nice & fresh not a slice. So tomorrow, I will update you on the Sammie. Prices are definitely reasonable for these huge biscuit dishes, for sure. Also, there is inside or outdoor seating. Nice stop while you're out shopping for a quick bite to eat there or for take home, which was my preference. Need to take my little brother there so he can try out the tasty, delicious, huge biscuits. I really enjoy supporting local businesses for such fabulous homemade dishes.“

“I love chicken salad chick.It is a chain restaurant but it is so good! This is my first time going to a chicken salad chick outside of Florida and I was not disappointed.I always get the turkey club sandwich with a side of pimento cheese.Your meal also comes with a cookie which is delectable.The shared parking lot out front and I did not have any trouble finding a spot.There is also outside seating as well.“

“We had such a great experience at Hodaks and will definitely be back! Our food was great. The service was quick and very friendly. We had two babies with us and multiple staff stopped to wave at them and make silly faces making us feel very welcome. The restaurant, including the bathroom, was spotless. Highly recommend!“

“We had the pleasure of attending a wedding reception at The Dogwood. Completely unassuming from the outside, this space is sure to wow even the most hard to please guest. The main level boasts a spacious dining room with a beautiful bar. It was cozy without feeling overwhelming. The decor was absolutely gorgeous everything has a modern aesthetic. There is a grand staircase leading to the second level. This space is an indoor/outdoor set up. Guests could filter in and out. There were three fire pits and ample seating on the patio. Perfect for a chilly evening. The bar on the second level was a little smaller, but highly functional. The team were so hospitable and friendly. The bartenders made quick work of keeping drinks full and the party going. The food was absolutely delicious! Cocktail hour consisted of a variety of appetizers including toasted ravioli, mini egg rolls, wontons, and chicken bites. Just what you need in your belly while consuming alcohol. Our meal will rate very high on my list of favorite wedding reception meals. The quality of the ingredients was reflected in the execution of each dish. Everything was perfectly done. This was a fantastic experience! Hoping I have more friends getting married soon so we can go back!“

“Do you crave crispy perfect chicken and deviled eggs? I do. Grace Meat and Three always satisfies my cravings. Their staff is so helpful in picking just the right combinations of mains and sides. There is plenty of space to take a large group or just show up and hang out at the bar. The bar is a perfect spot to grab a cocktail while you await your tasty treats arrival.“

“Today my friend and I ate at Grace Meat & Three after visiting the Botanical Gardens. It was our first time going there. I got the meal deal which was chicken tenders, fries, and a drink. The chicken was delicious and so were the fries. I enjoyed all the dipping sauces they have to choose from. We will definitely be back.“

“The food is delicious let's start there 9/10! Chicken and fish are fried to just right. The sides are pretty good as well, love the fried green tomatoes and mashed potatoes. All their sauces seem to be made in house and are very tasty. But what I don't like is tipping and all they do is bring out your food. You have to buss your own table when you're done and that's not cool but meh. But the people are still very nice and accommodating.“

“I came here with a group of girlfriends for my friends bachelorette dinner party this past weekend, the staff was very friendly, the restaurant is beautiful, and the food is wonderful! The owner came out and spoke with us and was so kind, he provided us some amazing apps on the house which made her night even more special. since I have gone gluten free going out to eat hasnt been the easiest, I was able to get their Pepe Gluten Free pizza and it was to die for! I absolutely recommend this place and will for sure come back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Love love love this place! The food was AMAZING! The Tootie sauce is a must try! Tootie is super sweet! The whole staff was so friendly. The atmosphere makes you not want to leave and everyone in there was amazing to us! Without a doubt I'll be going back“

“We found this gem of a restaurant and came away very pleased. The host, Mr. Sly, greeted us with a rhyme and smile. Our waiter, Tish, was prompt and friendly.Our food was on time and the food quality was well seasoned and hot. When we return to STL, we will stop here to sample more of their menu.For the owner: please make sure your merch is available for sale at all times. I wanted to buy a souvenir coffee mug and the staff didn’t have the key to the case. I get one on the next trip.“

“Today I found myself at a nice little Cajun place in Webster Groves. I originally set out from my house, not knowing where I wanted to eat dinner or even if I wanted dinner. My wandering took me to Webster, where I stumbled into this place and thought I wanted some fried catfish. That is exactly what I got. The place was lively when I walked in, with a live band playing and TVs all over the place showing college basketball. The place felt like walking into a bar/restaurant down in Morgan City, LA. I found a high-top seat, and a lovely waitress came over, took my order for fried catfish, coleslaw, fries and an appetizer of fried ravioli but these were stuffed with crab meat. Only thing I forgot to ask for was cornbread. Anyway, the catfish was fried well, the coleslaw tasty, the waffle fries cooked to perfection, and the ravioli took a prize for the best thing I ate while I was there. Overall, I enjoyed myself and went home full and happy. Would love to go again, especially to their brunch, which looks downright delectable.“

“Delicious ❤️❤️❤️we are visiting from Memphis and I wanted some fried fish…….let me just say I was not disappointed. This was everything that I wanted and some more. I pray many Blessings on your business. From the cashier to the management…..AWESOME….Service and Food….Please stop by and grab some of this amazing service and food ❤️❤️❤️“

“They had a bus so they were super busy. We checked our order and saw our gravy was missing for the biscuits and gravy so we went back in to grab it. Upon arriving home we saw that there were no fixings for the sweet potato and the turnip greens were replaced with green beans. Not a catastrophe but we let the manager know hoping to just get our turnip greens on our way out of town (full time rvers) the manager comped our entire meal! We were not expecting that or even asked for that. That’s great customer service right there. Next time we are in St. Louis we will definitely be back.“
