“Yum! This is a great LC location — clean, extremely quick, and everything tasted super good and fresh. My only gripe is that they never make my sandwich medium rare. It’s always medium well. Besides that, no problems. Lion’s Choice is a great chain.“

“Smash burger was very good.“

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

“It was a rare out of town date night for us and we chose Olive and Oak for a couple reasons. They were open late on Sunday and the menu looked amazing. From start to finish, this was a wonderful dining experience. The NA mocktails were amazing. The atmosphere is stunning. We tried several different things on the menu and were not disappointed by any of them. Our server, Jordan, was fantastic. My boyfriend is a restaurant owner/chef in Columbia and to watch him truly enjoy every bit of that meal made my heart happy as well. We will absolutely be back. Many times:)“

“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.“

“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.“

“10/10 highly recommend The food, customer service was great! Enjoyed every moment“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, service, great quality and quantity for what you pay for and the dessert section is huge! My new favorite place“

“A hidden gem. Have been many times and have enjoyed every time. The food is simple and delicious, the staff makes great suggestions for drinks and cheese and the playlist is perfect ambience. The spritz are a must! The free wine tastings on Monday are a great way to get to know wine. A STL favorite“

“Great food and excellent service“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful place, never had a bad meal ever.“

“This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Their food is excellent and they have the best house dressing! They have great specials, as well. Their walleye and basa fish dinners are signature dishes there and are delicious. Will 100% go again! So yummy! 😋“

“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! 👌😋🍨💜“

“Bone in chicken, chicken strips, smash burgers, ice cream“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“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“

“Bring back the roasted tomato tarte! The best item on the menu for me was the Roasted Tomato Tarte that I enjoyed on numerous occasions. It was even highlighted on their menu as a favorite. So I scheduled a lunch with family and looked forward to the Roasted Tomato Tarte again today. BUT IT IS NO LONGER ON THE MENU!!! Bummer! I asked for the recipe and they said they would send it. I sure hope they will and also restore it to the menu.“

“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 waiter was excellent! The food was amazing. The entire staff did a awesome job with greeting and service! I will definitely be back🎉🥰“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“A comfy atmosphere with great food and fast service.“

“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.“

“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“

“Well-made, diner style food. Great pancakes, hash browns, corned beef hash, biscuits & gravy, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Amazing server, I wish I remembered his name. He's like a mind-reader!“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“Fantastic as always! Probably the best burger in St. Louis. These 2oz smash burgers are seared to perfection.The Louie was a nice choice with sautéed peppers and onions. Next time I’d add a third party.Pro tip, there’s a gated parking lot but it’s free!“

“I go to Mariposa for the food, which is excellent. The service is great too. The menu is interesting and the food is delicious. However, there are no windows in the main dining room and the bank gets opposite a chair for a table of two are really not my favorite at all.“

“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.“

“PJs is a fantastic bar and grill“

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

“Normally I would have given Joey B's a 5 star review because in the past it was always great but this last visit the food was a little bit off for some reason but still good. Our waitress was very slow and she seemed overwhelmed because the rest of the staff were jamming. I will go back and hopefully be able to update this review with a 5 star.“

“The Avenue came highly recommended and lived up to its reputation. I joined my siblings for lunch here. The staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was expansive and delicious. I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“

“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!“

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

“I don't know if the chocolate shake recipe changed or not but what I got was almost frozen chocolate milk. I took it back in and was told that's the shake. Hope not, they used be thick and creamy that was like a protein powder shake or Nesquick. I'll remember not to complain too, jeez 😒“

“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.“

“We love this place!!! We frequently visit Hesslers and most recently had our wedding reception there. We always have the best service and friendly staff. Great food, and awesome atmosphere!!“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“
