“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!“

“We normally go to another place for happy hour but the last time we went, we had terrible service so I days NO MORE - & that led us to Big A's. It was perfect! Our server Chelsea was engaging, funny, attentive & informative. She helped make our night so much more fun! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thanks for such a great 1st Happy Hour at Big A's Chelsea!! It would not have been as much fun without you!“

“I took a motorcycle ride out to this place and had a great experience. They had a live band, The Portholes, playing excellent cover songs from the '70s—songs I hadn't heard in years and had almost forgotten about. I ordered the Boathouse Special Burger and the Jerk Tacos, and both were outstanding.
Even though they appeared to be short-staffed, the service was excellent. The atmosphere was fun, festive, and welcoming. Whether you're looking for a destination for a group ride or just a place to stop on your own, this is definitely worth the trip. Highly recommended.“

“Couldn't decide what we wanted to eat. My husband said let's try Jordan Fish Chicken and Grill and I said I guess. When I got there to pick up my food they were really friendly and their customer service was on point! They asked if I would like to try their honey hot chicken wing and I said sure, I won't lie I was skeptical because some honey hot sauces are too hot, but it was PERFECT! I even spilled the sauce all over my coat, smh... our food was good also. Next time I will be ordering the honey hot chicken! Thank you and see ya' next time!“

“We got the catfish fritters, fries and hush puppies, it was more than enough for two people. The food was decent, fries could have been cooked a little longer. Prices are reasonable. They were busy so we waited about 40 min to get our food. They only take cash.“

“Today was my first experience trying them and I went with the Gold Lucid wings. Let me tell you these are not gimmick wings. The flavor profile is amazing sweet savory crunchy hearty juicy jumbo wings. You definitely get your monies worth. In order delivery and they was nice and hot upon delivery. Oh and let me not fail to mention their ranch freakin fantastic I thought WS has great ranch but this right here ummmm. I will definitely be back. Next on my hit list will be the raspberry wings then the pineapple. I was very impressed. Finally we have an amazing one of kind wing spot in Florissant.“

“Good times 😁😁😁😁😁“

Y'all can run out as much as you want and replace it with double what I ordered any time! God was definitely working through you today! And believe, it'll come back to you 10 fold. It almost doesn't feel real that this happened. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🦋✨🦅“

“I have been a long-time customer of St. louis Happy Hour since 2008 but the service I experienced yesterday was very disrespectful on 11/08/2025. I arrived there about 5:15 pm and ordered a steak sandwich and a long Island iced tea because they were out of the Heineken beer. Dion was my server. I sat at a table with a friend after 20 minutes had passed my friend paid her tab and left and I sat nursing my drink i received a call from a friend who wanted some food which I ordered from Dion which was a steak and potatoes no onions and a cheeseburger that was 20 minutes later and still no food, while sitting waiting watching customers come in and out, watching waitresses take orders and take people their food some people coming in 15 and 20 minutes after I have been there I'm looking like wow why is it taking so long for my food to come out just then the people sitting 2 tables from me who arrived about 15 minutes after me received their food which was the same thing I ordered so I asked Dion where is my food she replied I am not the cook 30 seconds later she bought out my food which was cold like it has been sitting for a while so I let her know my food was cold and she got upset and her voice elevated asking me did I want it remade. which now everyone is looking as she id talking " no music is playing " so now everyone is looking our way, so now it's about 6:20pm my friend that I ordered the food for ids standing looking in shock like why she is yelling like that and she wanted to cancel her food. so, I canceled my food, but I paid for all the food to keep the confusion down. Dion then bought the to go food and we left. I patronize at least 5 days a week sometimes twice a day I tip well and always spend nothing less than $50 on average. when it gets to the point that a paying customer is no longer important to the business, or you feel like you don't need their business than it's a problem. Happy Hour is a great establishment, great owners, great waitress, great customer It's like Cheers. I am very disappointed. when your hard-earned money doesn't mean anything and people think that you have to be disrespected and pay them is some different stuff. You know what they say good service goes a long way, but bad service goes further!“

“Nice little joint off the strip in St Charles. We stopped on for a quick bite and received excellent service! The drinks were so good and the food was great quality. We were thinking it would level with bar food but it definitely exceeded our expectations. If you have not been do not sleep on this spot“

“Great food music and the best Bartenders!“

“Seriously legit breakfast .... Really good !!!! Love this place !!!“

“We had an amazing experience at Grafton Winery & Brewhouse thanks to our server, Melanie! From the moment we came in, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She made fantastic recommendations, checked on us the perfect amount, and genuinely made us feel welcome and taken care of. She offered to take our photo and was such a perfect example of hospitality.

Melanie’s positive energy and professionalism truly elevated our visit — we could tell she wanted us to have a great time, and we absolutely did. Service like hers is the reason we’ll be coming back. If you’re lucky enough to have Melanie as your server, you’re in for a wonderful experience!“

“Went to music on main tonight. Had the best time. Bre’s $4 martinis and million dollar smile made it unforgettable. Truly a one of a kind person. She has a personality that doesn’t take any shit from anyone combined with a soft side that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Expect laughs, charm, charisma, and always a story about traveling. Will definitely be in every Wednesday from here on out!“

All right, this was a tricky review for me. First, I've been searching for the best burger in St. Louis, and let's be clear, this ain't it.
The second thing, I'm a firm believer against getting burgers from restaurants, but that doesn't mean this burger isn't damn good.
The waitress all but pleaded with me to not bite the burger while the cheese was sizzling. But did I listen? Nah.
As soon as that burger hit the plate in front of me, I picked it up, took the biggest bite I could muster. Then dipped some of the fries into the sizzling cheese.
O.M.P.'s burger.
Absolutely a plus.

Verdicts: Love at 1st Bite or No Love???
O-M Cheese Burger - Love at 1st Bite!!!

Where should we go next for Love at 1st Bite???
