Restaurants in St. Louis

“Great food and awesome atmosphere. However, it was disappointing that the front-of-house staff aren't allowed to wear overalls. Union Loafers management, please change this.”

“Absolutely incredible food and service here. We’ve done both dinner and brunch. One of our favorite spots in STL. Highly recommend”

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.”

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!”

“Fantastic dining experience!”

“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ”

“Wonderful local spot. Delicious coffee and food. Also, super nice staff and service.”

“I had heard about Pappy's for years before I actually went, which is embarrassing because it's not like I live that far. You hear enough people talk about a BBQ place like it's a life experience and you start to think they're being dramatic. They're not. The line was long when we got there, moved faster than expected, and everything after that was just really good food.
The baby back ribs are what this place is built on and they deserve the reputation. They come out dry-rubbed and slow smoked over apple and cherry wood, no sauce on them by default, and they don't need it. The bark has this slight sweetness from the wood and the rub and the meat underneath is tender without being fall-off-the-bone to the point of mushiness. There are four sauces on the table and you can go ahead and try them, but honestly the first rack I ate without any sauce at all and didn't feel like I was missing anything. The burnt ends were just perfect little caramelized cubes of beef that I kept eating until they were gone. The fried corn on the cob is a weird thing to talk about this much but I'm going to anyway because it's excellent, just a whole cob lightly battered and fried and it's hot and crunchy and a little sweet. We also got the baked beans which had plenty of meat mixed in and a good kick to them.
Counter service, seats yourself after ordering, loud and fun atmosphere. The place closes when the meat runs out so there's a hard daily limit. They're not going to reheat something to serve you the next day and that's the right call. Show up when they open if you can. I went back the following morning for an early lunch before driving out of St. Louis and had the pulled pork sandwich this time, which was simpler and still really good. There's something about the consistency here that you notice across visits, nothing feels like an off day or a rushed plate. The whole operation runs like they take it seriously but nobody in there looks like they're stressed about it, which is a hard combination to pull off.”

“Delicious fresh and healthy!”

“For my first time having crumbl the way that they were either cold or warm to match the cookie filled me with joy. I love crumbl and I will definitely be going back.”

“The real deal Cuban sandwich. You won't find one better in the Midwest.”

“Visited Have A Cow recently with a friend and it’s such a neat establishment. Great food and wonderfully friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit.”

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

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.”

“OMG. THIS IS SOOOOO YUMMY!! GOT FRIES WITH MY GYRO - they were hot & freash!!! Will be back. (It might be tomorrow) 😊😊”

“Omfg wild you can have such an epic tasting right in the heart of maplewood!!! Every dish was prepared creatively with perfect execution and balance. Crazy good value for a perfect tasting!”

“Staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations! The space has an incredible vibe and love the upscale decor. Highly recommend! Excellent food, service, and atmosphere.”

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!”

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, & great vibes!!!”

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy”

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.”

“Wonderful performance!!! Great food and awesome cast!”

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

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love The Fountain on Locust! It is by far one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis! The food is amazing and the dessert is always the perfect way to end the meal! Every time I have been to The Fountain on Locust, I have left happier than when I came in! The staff is very welcoming and they always do a great job, providing top-tier service!”

“Cocktails. Food. Service. Music. Vibe. Everything was top tier. Had a lovely time and we will be back again. We made a reservation on Google, it was simple and we got sat right away. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Fleur de Thé is tucked along Juanita Street in Tower Grove Park. We were cared for by Tatiana, the daughter of the founder, and every recipe comes straight from her mother — and you can taste that lineage in every bite. The cucumber sandwiches were the quiet surprise: impossibly light bread and what was clearly a homemade butter that set the tone immediately. The scones with clotted cream? Honestly some of the best I’ve ever had — tender, rich, and exactly what a scone should be. Then came the sweets, and it was impossible to choose a favorite: A rose-flavored cookie that was delicate and fragrant without tipping into “perfume”. A spice cake made from their own traditional Indian chai (not an Americanized version), which I loved despite usually skipping spice cake. And a chocolate mousse so light and airy it felt like it might float right out of the cup. As if the tea itself wasn’t enough, the cherry blossom wall behind us felt like the perfect backdrop. Even the tiny gnome on the table added a bit of unexpected charm. If you’re looking for an afternoon that feels thoughtful, beautiful, and genuinely special, Fleur de Thé is something rare. See you next year!”

“This place is so good. Even my 2 year old son loves the kid bowl.”

“I have been wanting to get here for several years, and we finally made it, tonight, to Anthonino's Taverna, a short distance from Rob's place. (Fun fact, this place has been spotlighted twice on Guy Fieri's Food Channel Show. I can now see why. 🥰) Well, I wish I had made it here sooner. But, that's behind us, and tonight was a delicious, and delightful night. Our waitress, Bailee, had the excellent insight to know it takes awhile to decide on a drink, and dinner choices. It doesn't matter if you read the menu online or not. Changes are always added. She gave us the grace to settle in for a few minutes. She gave us enough time to settle in so we could make our choices. Rob had a Kona Wave draft, and I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Bailee brought us bread made, and baked on The Hill with great quality olive oil, and herbs for dipping. Rob ordered the lasagna, and I opted for the Tutti de Mare with seafood, garlic, butter, and olive oil. My dinner was delicious, and made with freshly made pasta, and a perfect mix of perfectly cooked wild caught seafood of mussels,shrimp, clams, and squid. Rob's lasagna also featured freshly made pasta sheets, Anthonino's red sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. I tasted it, and it's your pick here if you love lasagna. Homemade taste that brought me back to my grandmother's and my mother's tables. 🥰❤️ I also felt welcomed, and comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Italian girl here, and I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, the customer service, and the ambiance. I am already planning to come back on my next trip here. Anthonino's Taverna”

“Absolutely delightful! The pizza had the best gluten free crust and the Ozark mushrooms on top were so fresh. I will absolutely be back”

“We rented the ice cream truck for our wedding. It was a big hit. especially for all the kids. They showed up on time and were so sweet. They had all the ice cream in stock and very professional. Highly recommend!”

“My waiter was so nice. She was attentive, kind, and just all around fantastic at her job! The food is consistent and delicious, and I love the All-Star Breakfast. Cheesy scrambled eggs are by far the best side though!”

“Our PTO had the truck out to school. They accommodated a special selection of treats and served everyone quickly. It was a great experience! Students and teachers loved it.”

“Staff is fabulous and friendly! Great food!”

“The worker “Princess” was amazing!!! She really did a wonderful job with keeping everything together. Amazing personality, very sweet, and made sure to check on everyone even when they were extra busy. If I come back the 3.5 hours I will be stopping by here again just to see her!!”

“somewhere to have a quick breakfast”

“I've been eyeing this spot for months and was starving after work. I also needed gas... and this place is located inside of a gas station. I know from experience, that sometimes these type of places are the best! And- I was right! This place was awesome. I actually ordered a Kid's Burger because I'm not into double cheeseburgers, too much meat. The burger was so juicy; flavorful and CRISPY on the edges. The toppings were fresh and the Shelley's sauce was delicious! I also got an order of fries with Red Hot Riplets seasoning and they were super crispy and flavorful. Take-out only, food is ready in about 5 minutes. Staff were friendly, you order and pickup at the gas station counter. I would totally come back if I was in the area!”

“Pretty cool place to visit if you're not from the area. We are and haven't been here for a good ten years. Love the architecture and history. Massive wall of beer steins too”

“Ordered from DoorDash. The best and juiciest chicken tenders I've ever had in St. Louis! It's coated with savory and peppery crumbles, and the chicken itself is moisturized and flavorful. Thanks for making my thanksgiving morninging wonderful!”

“I found them on Doordash and the food was delicious and the burger was huge. I couldn't even finish it. I'm definitely going to order from them again.”

“I came in on 3.53 am sat jan 3rd 2026 and Nikita waitress that served me was awsome and the male AJ emplee cooked my food was very quick awsome and couldnt made my food no better.I highly recommend 5 star all day”

“Teresa does a good job at getting our food to us while it is hot. And shes nice”

“I like it everything.Good and delicious food,clean place.Good and kind workers”

“Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Not only did the food taste good, it looked good. Nice presentation!”

“Stopped here for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. The food was excellent! Jerica was fast, friendly and professional. Her service was icing on the cake to our dining experience! She made sure our food arrived fresh, hot and exactly as we ordered!”

“We loved the simple perfection of the sandwiches here. They don’t get too fancy with extra toppings or combinations, but the quality and selection is perfect. They have a classic array of sandwiches to choose from, and the 3 that we tried were great! The potato salad was also a nice compliment to the meal. My favorite sandwich that we tried was the Tommy. It was pretty busy so we had to have take out, but the food was still great.”

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.”

“Amazing! Must try!”

“Best gyro with the nicest staff!”

“Finding great gluten-free food isn’t easy, but this place nails it. The gluten-free calzones were amazing—so delicious. I’ll 100% be coming back next time I’m in town.”

“My daughter and I have been meaning to try it- and it was so delicious!! The food was freshly cooked, portions were large and the taste was authentic and flavorful. Don’t miss this hidden gem on Gravois!”

“Great food and great service. We had a very large group there for lunch after a funeral recently and it went really well. I’d recommend for lunch or hosting a large gathering. Thanks for the hospitality.”

“we moved from Knoxville Tn Olney IL a new months ago. When we came to st Louis for an event. A quick Google search lead us to the BEST BBQ we have ever had! living only 2and a half hrs away, st Louis has become our new favorite hang out. And Adam's is a must.”

“Cannot say enough good things about this bakery! I had a birthday reward to redeem and went this past Saturday, and the front desk staff were so helpful and took time to explain all of the goodies in the bakery case. We got the cookie monster cookie bar, fudge brownie, and cookies and cream tiramisu cheesecake. Everything was to die for and HUGE portions! Will definitely be returning. 5 stars!”

“They care about the community just as much as they do about coming up with new creative and tasty food. An all around good place. Unless you don't like scary movies and gothic decor then get your order to go and you'll still love them.”

“Amazing place.”

“I finally made it and really it’s worth 100 stars , The chicken salad is probably the best salad in Stl , everything about it is perfect , chicken soo good , lettuce chopped with tons of parsley, all ingredients top notch and the dressing is excellent. I had the spinach pie for dinner and it is heaven . I’ve already planned on nesting 2 sets of ppl there! Can’t wait to go back!”

“everything we got was so uniquely and perfectly delicious! genius flavor combinations! beautiful store & love the sense of community and art and posters in there! such a unique hidden gem i’m so glad tik tok helped me find! nothing else i can think of like it and will be back soon :)”

“This is the best burger in the city. I will die on this hill lol”

“Fantastic experience and delicious food and drinks. Mule was top notch.”

“Food was GREAT! Loved the look of the place, service was awesome. Going back for lunch soon. This visit I had the burger and onion rings, I can hardly wait to try something else.”

“Literally the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever had!! Cute diner, with super sweet and personable staff. Highly recommend!!”

“I was on lunch break was told food would be done in 10 minutes. waited 30. got back to work very late. To top it off the food was disgusting. I'm not sure if there was even a burger patty provided. what was om the sandwich was an over abundance of mayo and mustard like I guess I ordered a mustard and mayo sandwich. It was messy made the bun soggy and just all around gross. I was going to bring all my kidd back to eat and will NEVER EAR HERE AGAIN. A REFUND IS WANTED. 27 DOLLARS FOR 2 BURGERS 2 DRINKS AND 1 FRY AND THE PLAIN CHEESEBURGWR HAD ONIONS ON IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO. NEEDLESS TI SAY NO ONE ATE THEIR MEAL WE ORDERED ELSE WHERE AND I SUGGEST SKIPPING PAST THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH THE TIME IR MONEY WASTED.”

“My wife and I went to Nixta last light for her birthday. We cannot say enough rave reviews! The atmosphere was romantic, chic and cozy. The food was EXCELLENT considering that I normally do not like Mexican food. The fish tacos and chicken tacos were superb. The tortilla chips were so good and the flan was the topping to a great night.”

“First time at Failoni’s yesterday. Had pasta and marinara (I know, not very daring). The marinara can stand on its own. Wonderful. Loved the ambiance, neighborhood vibe. We were made to feel welcome right away. Was with two friends and we will be back!!”

“Excellent flavors! Some of the best thai food ever...and I've had quite a bit over my life time. The drunken noodles was amazing, as was the red curry and the chargrilled aubergine was like nothing I've had before and was outstanding! I'd come back to STL just to eat here!”

“smoothies and salad 💯 fresh, crisp, clean environment, & vegan food 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“We had dinner with friends here last night and it was fantastic. The shrimp toast was incredible. Scallops were fantastic. We had quite a list of different dishes and they were all great! Didn’t get pictures of it all but here’s some of what we had!”

“Awesome food! All sides are tasty. Beans are on the sweet side. But still yummy. Ribs are 10/10 Love the variety of sauces they provide.”

“The pizza is phenomenal (the best I have had in a while) and the atmosphere is so relaxing and fun! The art on the walls and the decor is such amazing eye-candy. I can’t wait to have another slice and enjoy a relaxing meal and drinks! ✨”

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price”

“an amazing restaurant, amazing food, owners and staff have hearts of gold”

“One of my top three restaurants in all of St. Louis with the best fettuccine in the world. From the old world style, Italian atmosphere to the delicious food, the great wait staff and Dominic himself going around to all the tables carrying on conversation making sure everyone is having a nice time. And if you are lucky, you might get a chance to listen to his beautiful voice from time to time. We also enjoy the valet parking. It is a top-notch restaurant with the kind of feeling that you just don’t get in this world anymore. We go because it feels like for a few hours we’ve got to escape into a small part of Italy. 🇮🇹 It has what a lot of restaurants just don’t have anymore no matter how fancy the decor. Dominics is class and history with great food all in one place. We are fortunate to have such a place in St. Louis.”

“Every time I visit, it’s an entirely new experience. The staff here is as amazing as their culinary creations. Cannot recommend enough. The new patio is gorgeous.”

“We were there celebrating our daughter's birthday. Cody was our server and he was so attentive, he brought over berries and cream as a birthday treat. We will absolutely be back!”

“We ordered a stitch cake, cookies and cupcakes and they turned out beautifully for our daughter’s 6th birthday. Everyone loved it and they tasted great. We can’t wait to order again for the next birthday🥳♥️”

“What an amazing night for my son at the Autism Speaks gala to be paired with the kindest and most talented chefs from Flemings in St. Louis. Thank you for all of your support! 🥰”

“It was a quiet night but thankfully they were open on a monday night. Food and service were spectacular. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our table had the 10 course tasting menu and were very satisfied with the pacing, portions, and variety. We spent over 200 on drinks, the cocktail menu is extensive and delicious. 10/10”

“Great place great experience, friendly, clean some of the best barbecue around”

“The food and wait staff are amazing.”

“what a show! not gonna lie, after reading reviews, I went in with very low expectations. from beginning to end, I was very pleased. from the host that sat us being so inviting and welcoming, the mc was entertaining and got the crowd excited, the dancers were amazing (especially ivory), our waitress (jamaica) was on point and attentive, the food and drinks were delicious and the whole ambiance was fun and flirty. will definitely be back.”

“had dinner with the fam before the symphony one night and I enjoyed the reggiano crusted chicken quite a bit, great sauce, good pasta cooked well, and nice relaxed atmosphere.”

“What can I say, gorgeous views of St. Louis....pair this with truly fantastic food/cocktails and excellent service! This place will absolutely keep you coming back with friends and family. The crispy salmon was pure perfection and perfectly cooked *chefs kiss*. Must Try!!”

“Eve was awesome! This restaurant has so much character. Food was great! This restaurant is like stepping into a different era and they just don’t have restaurants like this anymore!”

“First time and not the last time we dine here, God willing! 🙏🏼♥️🏁 Very busy place, but fantastic service, food, and experience! Josh answered the phone and was so helpful, friendly and welcoming! When we walked in Josh was on it, made us feel we were “regulars”, like he new us personally and Stacey, the hostess that seated us, was equally as welcoming and we were seated promptly. I don’t believe we got our kind servers name, but the beautiful young lady was on it as well. The chefs/kitchen were on par as well, hubby had one of the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuit and gravy, I had the Ranchers beef salad, one of the best beef and blue cheese salads I’ve EVER had, and believe me, I’ve had a “few” 😋🤫😊 Hubs also loved the huge coffee mugs his coffee and my Kahluah/hot chocolate(yum on this damp chilly day)were served in…this where my only complaint would be, my mug was chipped along the rim 😅 All that said, it was just a fantastic way to start our Sunday. Looking forward to sharing this spot with some more loved ones 🙏🏼♥️🏁”

“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.”

“Worked here for many years, Kipp and his family have always been great to me. Now, I get the pleasure of taking my family in anytime we are in the city! If you’re going to the zoo, this is a must stop! If you’re going to the Cardinals game fill up here and you won’t regret it.”

“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.”

“Adriana put together a fabulous sandwich and pasta platter for my mom's Christmas Eve Birthday party. Everyone just loved it! The owners and employees are always kind and helpful. Love coming here.”

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.”

“Their food is super flavorful with large portions! Love their falafel rice bowl and spicy beef rice bowl! I have been several times and I have not had a bad experience.”

“Great atmosphere before any sports event!”

“Good Bibimbap always satisfying!”

“The Greek salad and gyro salad are huge and fresh!! Sometimes the hamburgers are sold out because they are so popular. A clean, no frills restaurant we have enjoyed for many years!! We take our out of town friends for a good meal/or take out.”

“Traveling and just stopped for coffee. Was blown away by the charming atmosphere! And yes, like any real speakeasy, there is a secret which probably gets missed by most! Very cool! The owners are the sweetest and they have THEE best baked goods and fantastic coffee.”

“By far the best frozen take out pizza's on the hill - also the best Italian beef sandwich I've ever had”

“This place is AMAZING!!!! My first time visiting and definitely will not be my last. Very busy place because of the great variety and selections and service. I HIGHLY recommend this spot to everyone. 🤩”

“I highly recommend the sourdough class! So informative and the executive chef was open to answer any and all questions!”

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.”

“Our vintage Thunderbird Club had a luncheon event at El Agave on Sunday February 15th, 2026. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional and the accommodations for our group of 16 worked out great. All of our members extremely pleased with everything. To the staff and management, we thank you for your hospitality and service.”

“Great food and the owner and her mom are a joy. One of my favorite places for dinner and teas.”

“My wife and I wanted deep dish pizza. I googled it, and this place came up. We went. Service was friendly and prompt, and the food was fantastic. Had the italian salad and deep dish pizza...both were top notch. We will definitely go back!!”

“We went there with a pizza pass to try it out. Had been to 15 other places listed on the pass and this one ranks number one. The best Detroit style Delux pizza and fried mushroom EVER.”

“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.”

“There was a mix-up on GrubHub in the ordering and what I ordered but it was handled so professionally when I got into the store and the food was excellent, hot and fresh. Qudos to all responsible. Job well done”

“Great atmosphere and very welcoming”

“Was a wonderful dining experience. Food and service was great. Will definitely come here again!”

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's the BEST! We go there a lot. We ate there 12/27/25. You get so much food with the Fajita dish that I always have to take half of it home. My husband mostly gets meals with shrimp and he too loves them. In getting to know them over the years is like gaining another family member. Maria even helped me get a great doctor for my husband. Service is always spot on. They always bring me me a frosted mug with my beer, without asking! Everyone is very friendly. If you like Mexican food you REALLY need to go there. Thank you everyone at DURANGO!!”

“I have an entire shelf for tea in my home with a wide range of teas to fit my mood or the time of the day. About 97% of my teas are from Traveling Tea. The other is 3% would be gifts or teas I have bought while on vacations. I love the option to purchase in bags that will keep the tea fresh or in bulk paper bags for teas that I keep in canisters. My days start and end with a delightful cup of tea thanks to Traveling Tea. The shop is small and efficient. The owner and her staff are wonderful.”

“The Greek salad and gyro salad are huge and fresh!! Sometimes the hamburgers are sold out because they are so popular. A clean, no frills restaurant we have enjoyed for many years!! We take our out of town friends for a good meal/or take out.”

“Jade did an excellent job. Very polite and friendly”

“Food was GREAT! Loved the look of the place, service was awesome. Going back for lunch soon. This visit I had the burger and onion rings, I can hardly wait to try something else.”

“Wonderful diner! The staff were amazing, so attentive and friendly and welcoming. The food was very fresh and good,. Would definitely return!!!”

“This restaurant is fantastic on every count: high quality ingredients, healthy (no guilt) eating and positively delicious food. Love the soup and salad which puts the whole dining experience on a higher level. This food makes tummies happy. It is true comfort food. Atmosphere is nice, but carryout works well too. Portion sizes are generous. I love opening my refrigerator and seeing great meals made by the chef at this great restaurant. They will make any house feel like a home. I am so glad we found this place!!”

“We were there celebrating our daughter's birthday. Cody was our server and he was so attentive, he brought over berries and cream as a birthday treat. We will absolutely be back!”

“When I walked in, I realized the place was packed, but we were hoping the wait wasn't too long, they quoted 45 minutes, which was a little too long for us. There was 5 of us and we decided to sit at the bar. And I'm sure glad we did. We had a bartender, I forgot her name, but she had purple hair, she was the absolute best. Not only did she make amazing drinks, she made sure our food came out right and hot. She also entertained us the whole time we were there, by engaging in conversations. You don't see that very much these days. If there was a word better than perfect, that's how I would describe it. I'll definitely be sitting at the bar more often.”

“We got seated promptly and our waitress was very attentive. We did not order any appetizers, but the drinks were great. They had a signature cocktail of the evening since it was Valentine's Day weekend. I got the special for the evening. 14oz bone in filet and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. The potatoes and asparagus were delicious also. My wife for the steak and fries. Nice ribeye and loads of fries. She also said that s very good. We got got a desert. They were nice and decadent and rich in flavor. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend recommend this place again. Thanks for making our evening special!”

“Best soda ever ! Wish I could get it here in NJ”

“Upscale, romantic ambience with excellent service! From Antwon, our exceptional maître D( this guy kept the flow of everyone!), to Joey our server, and Jake who never let us be empty! Sam’s steakhouse delivers with class! The owner Pat is a class act, himself-he came out and interacted with each table, ensuring that everyone was happy. The food was delicious, and well prepared. The setting is inviting to all!! The perfect level of sound with the live entertainment was also great, lending to the atmosphere! IMPRESSED!! A real STL gem!”

“My boyfriend and I went on a double date to the aquarium and we’re planning on going somewhere else. We looked across the water and decided last minute to hop in. The inside is very vintage, white tablecloth, but the vibes are very cozy and casual. We were served by the ever so lovely Sierra. AND SHE DESERVES HER FLOWERS AND A RAISE. She suggested this amazing wine called the menage a trois, and so kind and personable. We were conversing after the bill and she left a drop of wisdom. “I treat others how I want to be treated.” We will definitely be back soon. 🤍 Oh and get the crawfish étouffée, and the crab spinach dip! FIRE.”

“I had heard about Pappy's for years before I actually went, which is embarrassing because it's not like I live that far. You hear enough people talk about a BBQ place like it's a life experience and you start to think they're being dramatic. They're not. The line was long when we got there, moved faster than expected, and everything after that was just really good food.
The baby back ribs are what this place is built on and they deserve the reputation. They come out dry-rubbed and slow smoked over apple and cherry wood, no sauce on them by default, and they don't need it. The bark has this slight sweetness from the wood and the rub and the meat underneath is tender without being fall-off-the-bone to the point of mushiness. There are four sauces on the table and you can go ahead and try them, but honestly the first rack I ate without any sauce at all and didn't feel like I was missing anything. The burnt ends were just perfect little caramelized cubes of beef that I kept eating until they were gone. The fried corn on the cob is a weird thing to talk about this much but I'm going to anyway because it's excellent, just a whole cob lightly battered and fried and it's hot and crunchy and a little sweet. We also got the baked beans which had plenty of meat mixed in and a good kick to them.
Counter service, seats yourself after ordering, loud and fun atmosphere. The place closes when the meat runs out so there's a hard daily limit. They're not going to reheat something to serve you the next day and that's the right call. Show up when they open if you can. I went back the following morning for an early lunch before driving out of St. Louis and had the pulled pork sandwich this time, which was simpler and still really good. There's something about the consistency here that you notice across visits, nothing feels like an off day or a rushed plate. The whole operation runs like they take it seriously but nobody in there looks like they're stressed about it, which is a hard combination to pull off.”

“We just went for the first time tonight & hate we’ve missed out on going sooner! We are from Southern Indiana & it’s going to be hard to find anything to compare at home! Greg, Louis, and Eddie who were working the smoker when we left were so nice, told us all the ins and outs of the place, and truly take pride in their work. That pride is reflected in the delicious meal you’ll get! 10/10 recommend!”

“I'm a mac and cheese snob so it was okay but the cheesy potatoes was phenomenal and so was the brisket as well as the ribs my buddy head try all their sauces delicious”

“Excellent service and care.”

“Our first time visiting and it was a very memorable experience that we will highly recommend others to see for themselves. The waitress we had was on top of her duties taking care of us in spite of the extra large table that came in after us. Thank you for such amazing food and excellent customer service.”

“What an amazing night for my son at the Autism Speaks gala to be paired with the kindest and most talented chefs from Flemings in St. Louis. Thank you for all of your support! 🥰”

“I was on lunch break was told food would be done in 10 minutes. waited 30. got back to work very late. To top it off the food was disgusting. I'm not sure if there was even a burger patty provided. what was om the sandwich was an over abundance of mayo and mustard like I guess I ordered a mustard and mayo sandwich. It was messy made the bun soggy and just all around gross. I was going to bring all my kidd back to eat and will NEVER EAR HERE AGAIN. A REFUND IS WANTED. 27 DOLLARS FOR 2 BURGERS 2 DRINKS AND 1 FRY AND THE PLAIN CHEESEBURGWR HAD ONIONS ON IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO. NEEDLESS TI SAY NO ONE ATE THEIR MEAL WE ORDERED ELSE WHERE AND I SUGGEST SKIPPING PAST THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH THE TIME IR MONEY WASTED.”

“Great food and service”

“Nick (Grass) took care of us very well. Not only was he very friendly, but let us know various types of drinks and the prices of them as well! We would absolutely refer him to anyone we come in contact with looking to have a great but valuable time!”

“I love this place. Customer Service 10/10 they are polite, and can help you with ideas based off your cravings if you are unsure what to get. They provide first responders discount which is appreciated. The restaurant is always clean.”

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!”

“Really good tikka Masala and flaky parathar!”

“The best muffuletta sandwich I’ve ever had! I highly recommend this restaurant even to my non vegan friends.”

“Such a cool spot. The coffee was excellent and the chocolatey goodness of the cake pop was amazing! I would highly recommend this coffee shop. ... ☕️ 😎👍🏼”

“While I did not eat there myself, I called in from 600 miles away to surprise my son and his girlfriend! They were there to celebrate his birthday and the news that he had just passed the Bar exam! The staff were just as excited to be in on the plan as I was - they asked all the right questions to make sure it went down exactly as I envisioned and even called me afterwards to let me know it was a success! This South Carolina Mom really appreciated how the restaurant took the extra time on a busy Friday night (Halloween no less) to make patrons feel special! THANK YOU!”

“Everyone is so friendly, the sandwiches are AMAZING, and there are games/puzzles for the little ones. This place is going to be our new go-to.”

“Absolutely FANTASTIC💚❤️💚Such a cute place. ESPECIALLY for their pop up Christmas. People are very welcoming and it's just a cool environment.”

“Very small coffee shop in a converted auto repair shop. It is pretty small; so not a great place to just chill out as people are generally on top of each other. The coffee is excellent. The prices are a little higher than most other local coffee shops. If the weather permits, they do have a little outdoor patio in the back. A very small parking lot for about 3 cars. Street parking is available.”

“Stopped by for the first time today, I got the stuffed grape leaves & falafel & hummus. The staff was incredibly nice & they plated my food beautifully. The stuffed grape leaves taste amazing. I prefer mine cold & firm & those were PERFECT!!! Thank you so much, Mashallah. (mid rivers location)”

“I had a great experience on a Saturday night. Our waiter George was great and made sure our drinks fit the taste we were looking for. The cocktails were great but the food was phenomenal. The shrimp and grits and crab dip were amazing. They have such a great atmosphere, can’t wait to visit again.”

“3 words. Best. Donuts. Ever.

This place knows what they’re doing. Food and drink was outstanding! We got a variety of donuts to try. Both got coffee specials - s’mores and banana bread.

Cinnamon Sugar Donut: 4.3/5
Apple Fritter
Chocolate Glazed Donut: 4.7/5
Pumpkin Espresso: 3.9/5
Apple Cider: 3.7/5”

“The bread here is delicious! My kids asked to come here every time we are in the area. Bacon sausage bread, Hokkaido milk bread, mochi donuts and milk cream bread are our favorites! Place is very clean and there are a few tables for customers.”

“Not just another grill restaurant this is hands down the best grill around. This was our first time here and wow... flavor in every single bite. We ordered the chicken Philly with fries and a gyro with cheese fries, and everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The seasoning they use truly sets this place apart and makes the food unforgettable. The establishment was the cleanest I've ever seen a business which makes me want to dine in next time. Wonderful customer service as well. This is officially my new go to spot for amazing food. 10/10 will absolutely be back and will continue to support this wonderful family-owned business!”

“Love the passport! They are working on building up decor, but the bartending staff is talented without a doubt. This is the spot on the loop for an elevated cocktail!”
