Restaurants in St. Charles

“Exquisite and surprising flavors! Kind accommodating staff. I'm so glad we took a chance. Worth every penny. They have a lot to be proud of.”

“First time visit today (12apr2024), out of state visitors for the day (IL), happen to be in the area. Ordered togo: Chicken Shawarma plate Beef Kafka plate Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Humus with Chicken Shawarma 4 extra peta and 2 garlic sauce While waiting, the place had a nice feel, music, etc. After a small amount of time we were offered Coffee. To those that dont know with these style of coffee it can be bitter to the normal pallet. This is a mix of coffee and tea I believe was told at this location. My SO, which was their first time trying this, is not a fan. Having tried some out of state (MI) before, it was little better than I have have in the past. VERY Hot in temp, so you will want to let cool some. The ChkShawm sandwich was good, SO didnt like as much but I enjoyed it. We both enjoyed the rest of the order, so much that my SO over eat some and was hurting. It was tempting to do the same. The Chicken was very good and juicy, not dried out like once place we tried few months ago. Rice was very good, the one plate's rice might have needed just a bit more cook time as a very small amount was still a bit al dente. Glad we ordered the extra garlic sauce as it didnt come with any of the other plates. I didnt look or ask if that was normal, some places do, others dont and we end up emptying out any garlic sauce we get anyways from places like these.We always order extra garlic and petas. We dont get over to this area much and next chance may be in 6 month or a year from now but will have this marked s a fav to revisit when in the area again! Totally plan to order from here again without a doubt!”

“My only comment for improvement is regarding the unfriendly hostess on August 14.”

“Best burger I have ever had.. Fries and onion rings are delicious as well. Don't forget the malts.”

“Stopped in for a drink and received the *most* delicious Chai Tea Latte! Cute place with cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly and inviting. Definitely recommend!”

“our food is always delicious and fresh and the staff is ever so kind! we typically get fried okra, the new Yorker, and burnt ends. so good!”

“A small business in the north end of St. Charles. The owner clearly cares about both the quality of his food offerings, as well as the satisfaction of his customers. It would be nice if they offered Spanakopita! Otherwise, my family is a huge fan!”

“This place is so good. Relaxing atmosphere, great service, and the drinks are to die for. My husband and I aren’t big drinkers but we will be back for sure.”

“We stoped by and had read reviews and have to say people were right there breakfast was really good there biscuits and gravy were delicious!”

“La Vie French Café has yummy vegan sandwiches and crepes. Cute interior. However, it is disappointing that they changed their name to remove vegan and are serving dairy fondues during evening hours. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-02”

“Order ahead if can, reheat and salt at home if getting croissant (or bring a small packet with, he might have some we were too excited to ask). It was amazingly tasty! Even cold cause we went in late it was just something special. Best to pick up and ton and reheat at home we will return and so should you!”

“Food is always great and the service is even better. Tosha provided stellar service for me and made my visit a memorable experience. I will definitely be back and will ask for her!”

“We came in not expecting a lot and it was wonderful!!! The service was exceptional and the food was outstanding…the rotisserie wings and gyro salads were amazing
Definitely will come back!!!”

“The new location is beautiful. And the food was great as usual.”

“Alyssa was our server and she did it excellent job recommending some of the choices available from the menu. The food was very good it was hot and tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was friendly.”

“Was here celebrating my sisters bday. The mood was set as if in a Parisian restaurant and was very cozy. The music was very soothing and relaxing and the food variety was plentiful and the taste of everything was out of this world! And to top it off we had the most warm and welcoming host!
Will come back here for tea and scones ❤️😊”

“My family and I was in St Charles for the Metallica concert, stopped at your Restaurant for Lunch. That was one of the best pizza's we have ever had. Ingredients and Crust was on point. I know your local in Mo but please bring one to the Gulf Shores area of Alabama. I promise you would stay busy.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of eating dinner on Christmas Eve. I had the scallops and linguine; he had a steak. Our meals were delicious! Highly recommend this little gem along one of the prettiest streets in the USA.”

“Can’t speak to most of their food but I can tell you that they have the BEST crispy spring rolls and crab rangoon (sweet) around! I haven’t ever tried anything else because these are just delish!”

“Stopped on our way back from vaca. Loved the food and the service.”

“I hosted a celebration of life for my mom at Lydia’s and they made it so incredibly special. They were fully staffed with the most amazing people and we never ran out of yummy treats. I have always loved Lydia’s but now they hold a special place in my heart. And Lydia was so kind and thoughtful. I can’t recommend them enough, they have a customer for life!”

“Great place for a male guy's hangout You can explore your Explore your inner childhood with all the adult games, while having great drinks, great food, and great customer service from the beautiful bartenders behind the counter. Shout out to Savannah and baby girl behund the bar you know who you are. They showed mad love to our ferguson company on drivers appreciation day. Thank you”

“Enjoyed the food, wine , and atmosphere. We stopped for lunch today and we will sure to be back.”

“For a small strip-front restaurant what a hidden gem. The size of my party was 4 adults and 3 kids, we had a Titanic sushi boat [3 adults] at $100 well worth it. Noodle dishes and fried rice for the rest of the party were equally good.”

“LOVE this place! It’s quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food is excellent and the quality of the service makes it one of the best new places on Main Street!”

“The atmosphere was delightful & the coffee was superb. Brunch was very flavorful & satisfying. Excited to visit again soon.”

“The waitresses and waiters are all extremely nice and I am never disappointed with their food. Especially their all you can eat dinner. 😊”

“Great food and service. Get you some of those awesome crispy hashbrowns.”

“This is my first time here and I absolutely love it.”

“Shaye is the BEST W.C. employee ever! I had a 20 pk and 3 cheese fry pick up! In the past, W.C. employees don't care about your wait. Not Shaye, she was friendly, efficient and helped get my order complete quickly! I appreciate Shaye and wish more restaurant employees had her positive attitude and excellent customer service! She deserves a raise and no, I had never met her before but had to leave a 5* review so management knows how great she is!! 👍”

“We are so pleased. Went to Wendy's it was cold it tucked it was gross. Went straight to McDs very happy fries hot. Burger hot and tasty. Young lady at windows friendly. Please send staff to teach Wendy's how to do their jobs!”

“Such a fun place for a special treat”

“I’m from TN and up here in St. Charles for the week. I’ve stopped in here 3 out of the 5 days I’ve been here and honestly, this is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Wish I would’ve found this place sooner!

Really clean, good atmosphere, and just great coffee. Definitely gonna miss this place when I head back home. God bless!”

“Great beer and games and jukebox”

“My family and I stopped in to kill some time and enjoyed a couple coffees, hot chocolate, and pastries. I enjoyed a Van Gogh’s Milky Way and my wife enjoyed her grasshopper. My son had a chocolate chip muffin and it was really good. Great atmosphere and friendly employees. Definitely putting it on my list of places to stop at when on this side of town.”

“I have been a customer of Salt N Smoke for the past 4 years and always have had a wonderful experience, however this recent time with a nightmare to say the least... I ordered on 1/12/2022 around 8:45 PM via a Call-In on a Debit Card. What I ordered was (2) Bestie 2 Combos, one with Sweet Ribs and Smoked Wings sides were Sweet Potato Chips and Mac n Cheese, the 2nd Bestie 2 Combie was Ribs, Smoked wings and for the sides it was the Fries and the Mac N Cheese. Total for the Order was $41.72 Charged to VISA Debit Card Ending In (4360) I recently moved away to Iowa in the past 1 year so anytime I come into town in Saint Charles to see my parents which is often I always get Salt N Smoke in Saint Charles, MO I wish I could get it from Delmar if it was closer because I have never had a bad experience at that location ever, however Saint Charles is a different story. When I got to my parents I noticed all of the food was cold, not even slightly warm, I was really confused on how that was possible because I arrived at Salt N Smoke in Saint Charles before my order was finished. I ended up warming up both dinners because I did not want to waste food but still could not get myself to finish the meal mainly because there was something very wrong with the chicken almost like it was spoiled, my girlfriend was trying to be polite and ate everything to her regret, 1 day later she told me she had the worse stomach pain she has ever felt and it was so bad where we had to rush her to the E.R Hospital at Great River Health Center in Fort Madison, IA where we currently reside. After waiting 2 hours, doing blood tests and urine samples the doctor came to the conclusion that my girlfriend had gotten "Gastritis" which is a bad stomach inflammation which the doctor recommended it was caused from the poultry at the BBQ place she ate which was Salt N Smoke on Saint Charles... Tried to write them via Email no response, they will be hearing from my attorney.”

“Met up with a friend today at one of my favorite brunch spots, First Watch. We went to the one located on Streets of St. Charles. Their fresh food, juices, and eclectic menu makes it so you can always try something new. They have specialties each month, and I suggest you go before the end of February and try their barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl!! Today I had the morning meditation juice and the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was a party in my mouth! The braised beef barbacoa mixed with the eggs, beans, and other seasonings. My friend opted for the Italian Inspired omelet. You can put a reservation in online prior to arrival on busy days (like Saturday). The wait was not long this morning, and the food makes the wait worth it. One thing I like about Fresh Watch is the continuity across the chain in that regardless of which restaurant you choose the food is always good and fresh. Great service. Stop in and check them out…try something new!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you haven’t been to Sha’s Coffee, you’re missing out. From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and tea is absolutely captivating—it’s the kind of aroma that makes you want to stay awhile. Their selection is truly unmatched in the area. I picked up Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, Jamaican Me Crazy, Viennese Cinnamon, and Ginger Peach Tea, and each one has its own amazing flavor and aroma. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen and top quality. On top of that, I even found Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning (made by “Walker & Sons”). With my last name being Walker and two sons of my own, I couldn’t resist—it felt like it was meant for me. Sha’s isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s an experience. Great products, cozy atmosphere, and plenty of unique finds that make it stand out from anywhere else nearby. I highly recommend it to any coffee or tea lover!”

“We love Sugar & Slice! We have used them for birthday cakes in the past and we knew they would be best for our wedding cake. We just got married this past weekend in May and they did a fantastic job using our reference to build our cake. The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. The texture was still soft and full of flavor. We can't recommend them enough. They also did an amazing spread of cookies and cinnamon rolls. We provided to go bags for our guests and we had none left to take home, they were so popular. You will not be disappointed with whatever items you decide to buy from Sugar & Slice.”

“Went for the first time and ordered the Spiced Whipped Honey drink, the chocolate croissant, and the everything bagel sandwich. Every single thing I put in my mouth was incredible. The chipotle aioli that came with the bagel was so good. Eric is doing a great job with this place! We will be back!”

“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.”

“la comida esta deliciosa !!! 100% recomendado”

“If you want something flavorful and wonderful, you need to hit up this establishment. The staff is fun and friendly and the food is BOMB! It's different and familiar in the best of ways. The seasoning is spectacular. This food is truly made with love and it shows. We are lucky The Crooked Boot in our area. Keep up the great work!!”

“My new go to place for a salad "to go" for lunch during the work week! Very fresh and delicious.”

“I've grown to love going to this bar although it's always hot. I am friends with a lot of the bands that play there, so I try to show my support. However, I still didn't get an answer as to why they've moved the tables around to where there is no more dance floor? Seems counterproductive when you showcase live music.”

“Walking down Main St on a beautiful evening and the patio caught our eye. The "dungeon" basement is cool and the bartender was really sweet. Having a fire when it got a bit chilly was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be recommending to friends and coming back for dinner soon.”

“The food is phenomenal!!!!”

“This is the most favorite roast beef sandwich of our whole family. We are there so often the friendly staff knows our names. When our younger son and his family fly in from California, their first stop after leaving the airport is Lions Choice. We have their “ Bon Voyage” at Lions choice right before they fly back to California. We love this place. Always friendly. Always fast. Always delicious! Always a winner!”

“very good icecream chocolate”

“Best place to go if you’re growing bored of the monotony of life.”

“Doozles is the Best neighborhood treat in the area.”

“awesome venue, great vibes!!”

“Really good! Salsa had a touch of heat, nothing was bland. Authentic flavors.”

“We were traveling and staying at a near by hotel so we had our pizza delivered. lt was really good! If we didn’t live so far away we’d definitely become regulars. My husband usually only eats the top, but their crust was so thin and crispy he loved it. The young many who delivered the pizza was extremely polite and helpful.”

“Great beer and drinks. Many great pinball games to play.”

“The food was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and respectful. took really good care of us. will come back when we are in town.”

“I was at first skeptical to try them out since I work nearby but Monday I ordered take out. Tonight I've done it again. From the Scallion pancakes, to the Sesame balls (which are my favorite), to the General Tso & Orange chicken. Very delicious. 🩷”

“This place may not look like anything special, but the food here is quite good. The green salsa, while very spicy, is fantastic. I bought some for home and my family loves it! At least those who like spicy fare. It’s incredibly flavorful. We also have had several tasty entrees here. Again, it’s not a fancy place. And I wasn’t too impressed with their margarita. But the food is memorable.”

“Today we had our 16th anniversary lunch here, What can I say about this place, phenomenal, spectacular and very delicious. The salad bar was mind blowing huge. Skye was our server and she was top notch very attentive, the men bringing the meat around were super nice and the meat was like WOW. The restaurant was spotless clean and very orderly. Beyond a doubt we will be back”

“Donuts were great!! Quite surprised.”

“Delicious! So many flavor combinations to try!”

“Upshot Coffee at Waypoint Church is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing—perfect for getting work done, meeting up with friends, or just taking a breather. The service is always excellent, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good too, but the real standout is the coffee. It’s always on point!

My go-to order is the vanilla iced almond milk latte, and they nail it every time. If you’re looking for a new spot to try, this one definitely deserves a visit.

Follow me on Instagram @thenextcoffeestop for more coffee recommendations!”

“Amazing food and margaritas! Love having them close!”

“Their burgers are consistently good, they are polite, and they don’t take forever. That’s a rarity these days… the double onion mushroom melt is really good!”

“Forget the Starbucks down the road this place is your best bang for your buck!!! I got a breakfast burrito & bagel sandwhich & for the (couple bucks more than Starbucks) they were huge & tasted fantastic. Coffee was really good too it didn’t taste like straight sugar. Place was clean & all the girls were very nice in there.”

“The chocolate dipped peanut butter balls 🤤are so good!”

“Friday night was cool. The Dj was dope and played good music. drinks were decent.”

“Pizza is great and they support of course local music. I was in a few nights ago and the owner stops at my table to check on things. He said the pizza looks a little overdone, I can take that off your bill, but actually I like it a littel well done and crispy, so no problem but nice that the owner himself offered to make it right.”

“Excellent customer service and professionalism”

“This is the most favorite roast beef sandwich of our whole family. We are there so often the friendly staff knows our names.

“I played Mahjong there on a Thursday night and had an awesome time. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was great!”

“The apple kale is my go to when I need a pick me up to make the drive home to Illinois. It is always delicious and sweet (bananas add the sweetness). It just takes a couple minutes to blend and it beats soda or coffee any day. And I feel like it’s a little bit of healthy.”

“Really good! Salsa had a touch of heat, nothing was bland. Authentic flavors.”

“My only comment for improvement is regarding the unfriendly hostess on August 14.”

“Wonderful place so much fun is had here. New owner is awesome!”

“The food was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and respectful. took really good care of us. will come back when we are in town.”

“the staff here saved a choking man's life today. they were very quick and effective, several staff had him surrounded in seconds, got the blockage cleared and he was on his way. Then they just went right back to working like nothing happened and it was just another day at the office. a true class act!”

“I would rate this hotel and our experience well over 5 star all around!
From the welcoming early check in with Corey, accommodating us with WiFi (for a quick work check in) and baggage drop off, to breakfasts - the custom omelette station was amazing - to check out with Genevieve, we enjoyed beautiful accommodations and a friendly atmosphere.
Looking forward to a return next year!”

“Such a fun place for a special treat”

“Stopped in for a drink and received the *most* delicious Chai Tea Latte! Cute place with cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly and inviting. Definitely recommend!”

“So normally I don't leave reviews on places unless it really needs to be said. So with that Jeff M (the manager on most days) is just plan AMAZING!!! He is always looking out for the customer needs, wants, concerns, extra. I have order here a few times during rush hour lunch and have had some miss ups with not getting all my food. Which yes it is frustrating but I understood and just called in to talk to a manager on duty. When I talked to Jeff he wanted to make everything right. Which was just nice to hear as most places tell you to bad or act like they care. Nope not this guy. He said next time ask for me and Ill personally double check your meal. This man is above most managers I have ever talked to over the years and defiantly needs a BIG RAISE on his hospitality, care, and willingness to go above and beyond for his customers! Big shout out and thanks to JEFF M!!!”

“My favorite post casino food spot. They don't always take orders late like 2-4 am and you have to mobile order but otherwise I rarely have issues at this location and it's always a good experience.”

“Shaye is the BEST W.C. employee ever! I had a 20 pk and 3 cheese fry pick up! In the past, W.C. employees don't care about your wait. Not Shaye, she was friendly, efficient and helped get my order complete quickly! I appreciate Shaye and wish more restaurant employees had her positive attitude and excellent customer service! She deserves a raise and no, I had never met her before but had to leave a 5* review so management knows how great she is!! 👍”

“This is my first time here and I absolutely love it.”

“we love Cane's but it would be nice if they would have chicken we could order for our dogs as well”

“Mariah was the best server , I have ever had at this location . I come in all the time but this time she was always checking on me and guest(s). I didn’t have any issues with the food . Food was great . All American Burger never disappoints me!! Thank you for having Mariah as one of your workers . Her smile made my day 10x better just by her energy and smile .”

“I absolutely love their service!! Best food in the world!!”

“You won’t find better Mexican food anywhere in St Charles County! Go let Mauro and his team show you how it’s done! We go every week to get our fix. ❤️🙌”

“i’ve been here twice and i love the coffee and refreshers. it is so amazing and the atmosphere is really beautiful and calming. pastries are a 10/10 and in general i just would definitely come back if it wasn’t an hour drive!”

“The food was good clean restaurant beans and rice were good I got the burrito plate nothing like a real California burrito though but pretty good for being in St.Charles”

“The food is absolutely DELICIOUS! And the staff is amazing! Also the bloody Mary’s are to die for! I highly recommend this restaurant!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Had an excellent breakfast this morning. The ice coffee was perfect and the Crepe Monsieur was delicious! Can’t wait to try more of the menu!”

“I tired at a weird time 4pm. Greater the second I walked in. Spoke with the manager I presume. I think him and his pops runs the place. Food was made fresh took a few minutes not long. Birria Tacos were on point. Great little lunch spot. Expect $15-$20”

“Most of the food was really good. We got spring rolls (A3), 3 x vermicelli bowls (v5), pho, a Bahn mi sandwich and Vietnamese pancakes. Vermicelli bowls, spring rolls and pho all very delicious but the Bahn mi meat was kinda fatty and the pancakes didn't have a ton of flavor. The meat in it was scarce like less than one piece of shrimp and 4 tiny pieces of pork in each pancake. Not how I remember them as a kid. So I was sad about that. But everything else was really great!

They also have a kids menu. That’s nice and I'll come back with my kids.”

“This place is awesome! Great beer, mead, and live music! Great people!”

“All the employees are super nice and even when it’s busy I’m in and out of the drive through pretty fast. The drinks are always good and the atmosphere is really welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop for a drink!”

“Great experience both times we have gone! Our most recent visit was with a large party and the service and food were great!”

“The music was great.. we got wings & tacos... wings were exactly what we ordered & the fried taco were just like Jack n the box... they pour heavy drinks... were great”

“Great Lil bar, great bar tenders.. unfortunately the new owners dont stock anything in the bar.. bar tenders can only accommodate so much, always out of everything. even beer lol at a bar.. how u out of beer?”

“I have placed several orders since they opened. Love the new modern look and the sandwiches are always great. I have to thank Zach for the amazing customer service each time I pop in to grab my kids their sandwiches. Thank you 😊”

“Flew in from California and got off the plane and showed up to this charming little brunch spot. I had the best shrimp and grits in my life! The service was genuinely kind, and the owner even took her time to come out and talk to us. Highly recommended 10/10 🔥🔥🔥🔥”
