“went there Saturday and was upstairs at the bar i think it was close to 6. well anyhow the bartender was awesome! food was really awesome. I think i had the st louis burger. I was telling people that was a 2 hand burger! was really full after eating that. even though u were real busy food was great and people were friendly!“

“My wife and I, wayward travelers from Arkansas in town to see the TMBG show at the Pageant, stumbled in out of the pouring rain to enjoy the fabled floats. They did not disappoint! A special shout out to Darcy whose warmth and hospitality made this particularly memorable. Thank you Darcy!“

“Great burgers! I LOVED my TriPPPy burger which has a pineapple chutney and bacon jam. You will want extra napkins with that one.? My husband built his own burger to get just what he wanted and enjoyed his burger. They also have veggie options, but these carnivores did not explore them.“

“We had a great dinner. Kids had the steak and unlike many places, they were willing to go as rare as my 8 year old wanted for her child size steak which was nice. Service was also great, excellent timing and attention. …and bit off topic but if the hostess with the curly red hair sees this, I hope you know that your natural runway walk doesn’t need to be ignored.. if you aren’t modeling, you should be! ✨💃🏼“

“We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere can’t wait to come back!!! My husband had the salmon, rich and broccoli this was cooked to perfection! I had the fish tacos they were so good. Our desert was carrot cake & raspberry lemon cake they melted in our mouths. This restaurant gets 10 stars we absolutely love it!!!“

“Start with the Pork Belly Cheese Fries! I highly suggest the DLT sandwich with tater tots. Be sure to save room for some macarons. A staple in Maplewood: the staff is friendly, the bar has some great offerings, and the food is delicious. I highly suggest making a second trip to try brunch - you can't go wrong with Eggs Bene-duck.“

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.“

“Timothy’s by far surpassed my expectations in every aspect! The service was exceptional. The food was to die for, so much flavor. The drinks were fun and balanced.

Bacon chuck with cheese a curly fry and some cheddar cheese balls with a cherry coke , can't get any better just wish we could go back inside and sit down and eat because the atmosphere was the best!!!!!!! Absolutely love this place.“

“Had resv for 4:00 on a Sat, got there at 3:25 asked to sit at table to get drinks, told we could, then someone else said no since r resv wasn’t until 4:00. Said we could sit at bar but all tables in bar were taken! Freezing cold inside, put 7 of us at a table that would hold 10-12 people had to scoot down to other end to try and get warm. Food finally arrived way later than those around us! No one in the rest. hardly but we couldn’t sit at a table till 4:00. Not very friendly about it! Food not impressed with! Will not go back, done!“

“I've visited here 3x in the past 6 months and EVERY TIME the food was hot and tasty. Yes there maybe a food spot on every corner but these guys are top tier. Hands down. They were polite and friendly every time. They always seem to aim to serve you better than they did the time before and I appreciate that. Those little Carmel cakes they have in the glass are the devil so shout out to Natalie too 🤣“

“I have lived in 7 states in my life and this is one of my the best restaurants I’ve ever been too. Consistently the best Walleye in the world and the ambiance for a fisherman/hunter like myself is top notch. The most underrated restaurant in Saint Louis. If I was on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal I would say “TAKE ME TO YELLOWSTONE CAFE PLEASE”.“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“We had an office boxed luncheon and the food was amazing, delivery was on time and ordering was super simple. The staff is always so friendly and they accommodated a lot of our dietary restrictions. Got many praises for the food and so will definitely order from them again. Love when we can support small businesses that have amazing food.“

“The lobby was kept amazingly clean and the hostess (Anita) was vey pleasant and friendly. She offered me a free cup of coffee for dining inside.“

“Been enjoying The Royale most weeks since 2015. Best bar and restaurant in town. A gem. Chill tavern vibes, DJs, local art, gorgeous courtyard, old movies, vinyl records, and a stellar menu. Owner Steve is the best. Get the fish tacos, a fresh margarita, a local beer, or whatever you’re into. Hell, I’m about to head there right now writing this review. I’m not even joking.“

“The current owners, Colleen and Bill are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. We had a baby shower there and they were very accommodating. The food, service and atmosphere were great. Can’t say enough!“

“Young's is the place to get Fried Chicken!! Always fresh and perfectly seasoned, not greasy and with a lite crispy coating. All of their food is cooked to order and delicious. If you have not been there, you are missing out on a great experience!!!!“

“The staff were very personable, and inviting. I had such a great experience! The food was hot and delicious also. We were a party of 20+ and they took care of us very well. I’d definitely return! I think there were only two people running the kitchen but if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it based on the service.“

“Not only was the food amazing, but we received first class service from our server, Travis!!! VERY fresh & delicious food with a large menu, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommend.“

“My 4 year old LOVES to cook, everyone was so welcoming and helpful when we visited! Everything is always clean and organized and the food is delicious! It was nice to prep meals and provide a great learning experience all in one! My little chef and I will be back!“

“Last night’s visit to Farmhaus for my birthday celebration was truly exceptional. From the moment we stepped into this delightful farm-to-table establishment, we were enveloped in an ambiance of enticing aromas, cozy warmth, and genuine authenticity. The food, a harmonious blend of flavors and freshness, left us utterly speechless. Opting to share our selections among the three of us, each dish we sampled proved to be a culinary masterpiece. It was evident with each plate’s arrival that they were crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to using only the finest ingredients. From the irresistible appetizers to the delectable entrees and divine desserts, every bite was sheer perfection. We found it impossible to choose a favorite, as each dish offered a sublime combination of simplicity and flavor. The service was equally impressive, with the staff effortlessly balancing fine dining attentiveness with a laid-back charm. The impeccable timing of each dish’s delivery, coupled with the staff’s friendly yet professional demeanor, made us feel genuinely cherished and attended to throughout the evening. If I had to highlight one dish that stole the spotlight, it would undoubtedly be the wahoo fish with asparagus cream sauce. Caught fresh by the chef himself just days before, it stands as a true testament to Farmhaus’s unwavering commitment to sourcing the freshest ingredients. Truly, each dish we enjoyed was a culinary revelation, from the irresistible beef carpaccio with its luscious ancho spiced whipped cream to the rich and savory osso bucco, and the remarkably tender and flavorful beef skewers. And let’s not forget the delicately sweet strawberry tarte, a perfect ending to an exquisite meal. As a Taurus foodie who savors the nuances of fine flavors and a welcoming ambiance, I can wholeheartedly attest that Farmhaus has secured a permanent place in my heart. I hope to make dinner at Farmhaus an annual birthday tradition for many years to come!“

“As a person with Celiac visiting your town I felt so welcome and safe- and it was a huge treat to eat an entire plate of yummy fried goodness that was safely prepared for someone like me. But the awesomeness didn’t stop there- the friendly bartender shared more Celiac safe local hotspots with us as well!“

“This place is so cool! I absolutely love the way they decorated the space and painted the walls similar to the other location! The staff was so kind and fun, and everything we ordered was amazing! I can't wait to go back to try more! 👌😋🍨💜“

“Fresh & flavorful food, large portions, and outstanding customer service! Family owned business that strives to make sure you are pleased with your meal. The menu was extensive from chicken wings that ribeyes. We will definitely be back!“

“A Hidden Gem in St. Louis!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I were visiting for an event when we heard about this spot from some friendly folks at the airport—and wow, what a recommendation! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy, cute, and creatively inviting, setting the perfect tone for an amazing experience. THE FOOD? Absolutely incredible. We ordered enough to last the weekend, and let me tell you—those Brisket Burnt Ends & The Brisket Burger somehow tasted even better the next day! The potato skins were delicious too, packed with flavor. What really stood out was that this place isn't just for vegans—it's for anyone who loves great food and stellar service! If we’re ever back in St. Louis, we’re coming straight here without a doubt. Highly recommend! #StLouisEats #FoodieFind #HighlyRecommended #BrisketBurntEnds #VeganOrNotYoullLoveIt“

“We ordered five meals. All of them were superb. The staff was warm friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was pleasant.“

“We met up with family from out of town on Friday night. The food was great as always. We sat and chit chatted for a bit after we were finished eating. Our sever was cut and we were not told. When we were ready to leave the server who had taken over our table was very rude and made a comment I finally get my station back! As we were getting up and walking away she went further to say that maybe she will be able to get a table finally before she’s cut. Nothing was mentioned about her needing her table or anything of that nature otherwise we would have gladly given it up. We’ve never had this issue when dining at biggies before. We were astonished and how rude she was instead of just asking us if we were finished. She never offered to refill our drinks or anything. We are very disappointed as we believed this was a family friendly environment who did not have an issue with a family getting together to celebrate the holiday early“

“the service was amazing the waitress was very helpful and very pleasant“

“I enjoyed my first visit! The upstairs seating next to the window was very nice. Our server Pattyn was very sweet and attentive. I enjoyed the club and white chicken chili. Very yummy 😋 I hope to come back and try more menu items.“

“Had dinner here last night. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious!! Staff was very friendly and informative as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“PJs is a fantastic bar and grill“

“Very customer oriented..it’s always good never disappoints“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Today me and my wife and daughter decide to try a new restaurant. loaded nachos and it was out of this world great. we will most definitely be going back and trying other items on the menu. if you have never tried loaded nachos I suggest you get up go on across to St Charles and get you some loaded nachos you will not be disappointed.“

“We had an event for the Dolomemorial. The space was perfect. Seeing the river was a bonus! The food was yummy. The staff was friendly! Continue the legacy of Dolores "Dolo" Boschert and honor her life by giving back to others and igniting their passion as she did.“

“Had a pleasure to attend a party at yesterday's this afternoon. Its a great place to go and chill, while having a nice bite to eat. As well as enjoying a few games. They have very polite staff that make you feel right at home. Thank you all for being amazing!“

“NOBODY makes a Popeye spinach omelet like they do! Also love the arch skillet; some jalapenos at breakfast help you wake up in the morning!. The potatoes are fresh - they don't come frozen, out of a bag!“

“UPDATE:
I spoke with Glen today and he made it right. He showed he genuinely cares about his customers. For that, I thank him and will be trying Flower Child again, and see how that goes.

Original Review:
I have ordered from here and went in person numerous times over the past year. In the last 3 months, it has really gone downhill. The last 2 times I went in person, the sweet potato fries were not able to be given to us because they said there was a 30 minute delay. They gave us macaroni instead which was nice, and promised a refund that I never received. Then, the last 3 doordashes the fries were hard, burnt, and inedible. It's a shame because I pay good money to eat healthier options at lunch, especially with my gallbladder being removed, so I can not worry about flare ups and feel confident that I can continue my work day, by eating healthier options, and not getting sick. This used to be my favorite place but I'm disheartened now. 😔 I wish it would let me upload the pics.“

“Would I recommend Blue Strawberry? Yes or no, those are my only options? How about maybe, depends… I am not a complainer but here goes. This was our second time at B.S. The first time was great, no issues enjoyed the show drinks and food. However, the second time (on 7/27/25) we arrived and were put in the back corner (by the sound board) and it took over 45 minutes for someone to take our order and that was only after several patrons complained. Finally, the owner came over with some excuse about being backed up and he was reminded some of us had been here almost an hour and nobody ever check on us (remember this place has a $15 dollar food and drink minimum per person). Now, one would think when you own a business and patrons are complaining that you as the owner would step up and take an order? Nope, he walked away and went and found a worker who eventually came over and took 1/2 of the back sections orders while skipping the other half. Eventually, a young lady finally appeared in our area and took our orders (after coming back 2x to verify what we ordered). Our drinks came out right away but the fries I ordered never came out. I find out later that they were delivered to the wrong table and the customer said I didn’t order fries, but I’ll take them. You would think as a server you might go gee, if that table didn’t order the fries, I wonder what table did? Nope! I eventually had to go to the bar and complain and I finally got the fries. Now FF to the end of the show and we NEVER got a bill, everyone around us did, but not us. I could have easily walked out and never paid my tab but momma didn’t raise me like that, so I went to the bar, found a server and settled my $50 tab. I had to chase down every aspect of my “dinner theater” experience. I like the venue, I like the concept but NOBODY appeared to know what was going on last night.“

“We visited the Art Museum last week and then had lunch at The Panorama resturant at the suggestion of a friendly person we met earlier at the Half and Half in Clayton. This person told us about how great the brussel sprouts were at the Panorama and so we had to try them and they were fabulous. All of us, including my mother, who is 88 years young, thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We set next to the large wall of windows and the sun shone perfectly, lighting the room with a beautiful warmth. The server was excellent and the menu becons our return.“
