“This restaurant is very clean, and the service is wonderful. I recommend the Chicken Tikka Kabob. The meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth, and the flavor is amazing. It comes with a side of salad and rice. The rice is so fragrant and delicious. The salad is fresh. The samosas are good too. You get two per order, and the green chutney on the side is yummy. They do make their baklava in house.”

“Stopped in for a couple cocktails based on all the positive views I read… and they definitely impressed. Solid cocktails, both classic and creative, in a laid back atmosphere. Seemed like a good group of locals in there and bartenders new folks by name. Memorable experience and will go again next time I’m in the area.”
“This has been the most exceptional dining experience in a very long time. Me & my friend came in for a quick bite. We were greeted immediately & told to hang on a sec & it was literally a second. Mike the waiter was very attentive & took care to our almost every need. Chef’s kiss to Yellowbellly!”
“What a fantastic little place. Sandwiches are spot on and the potato salad was about the best I’ve ever had. Expect some wait time and not many tables. Still worth it.”
“The only reason it’s 4 starts instead of 5 is that it’s PRICEY! 2 adults and a 4 year old, and we were over $100 all-in for lunch. Two entrees, one appetizer, one kids meal, and one margarita. Super tasty tho, and amazing service and vibe. Can’t do $100+ lunches often, though ”

“Nice location in the Grove...food was good and out very fast and cashier gave a very thorough explanation of what was most popular when we got to the counter to order unprompted ...as it was our first visit this info was very helpful...about 20 minutes for 2 ppl on a Friday night from order to walking ”
“The steak was amazing. My mother has never ordered a steak any way other than well-done and was floored by the medium well.The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and provided both a detailed history and flavor profile of select whiskeys/bourbons. This took the experience to a new level as we were able to apply that knowledge when tasting a flight.Amazing experience. Will definitely be back!”
“During Christmas, Small Change transforms into the Miracle Popup! Santa definitely stops here. Check out these pictures/videos. I enjoyed the Snow Ball cocktail which was excellent. But business as usual, it’s a beloved local bar in Saint Louis, occupying the historic spot that was once Benny's Pit Stop Lounge for over 35 years. As the more casual counterpart to Planter's House (its sister spot), it boasts a creatively evolving cocktail menu using local craft spirits. Established in 2018 at Lynch & Indiana, Small Change welcomes diverse tastes with craft beers, non-alcoholic choices, daily happy hours, and engaging weekly/monthly events. A nod to tradition with a fresh, spirited twist.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I have previously dined at Little Fox for dinner and drinks and I have always enjoyed it. Last weekend, I tried their brunch and it was just as good as their dinner menu. We tried multiple dishes, and they were all delightful. The Italian Benedict and Waffle & Lox were particularly amazing! The cocktails were amazing, as usual. The service was excellent, too. I highly recommend Little Fox.”

“Excellent dinner. Easy to make reservation. Service was excellent, friendly and prompt, great flow/ timing of presenting food. The food itself was excellent! My only wish is that hot sake was an option.Dietary restrictions: Did very well with gluten and dairy free options. Staff was knowledgeable on allergies and appropriate menu items.”

“The gooey butter cake was incredible along with their strawberry jalapeño ice cream and other flavors, all home made. Excellent experience and the owner is very friendly!!”
“It's the best BBQ I've ever had. The ribs were incredible, and I would do bad things in order to have that fried corn again. Do not miss out on this place!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this place.I’ve been vegan 21 years & most restaurants that serve vegan give you small portions. Not TT. This place gives you a hearty serving. I actually feel like I got my moneys worth here.The food isn’t greasy/oily, you could eat a huge burrito and feel satisfied without feeling heavy.The prices are excellent.The staff, service time, music & atmosphere are the bees knees. I visit ST Louis a few times a year & I will be back every visit.Seriously, the best vegan restaurant”
“Ted Drewes is hands down one of the best ICE CREAMS ON PLANET EARTH!! It’s a custard ice cream so it’s very creamy. They have all sorts of choices. My personal favorites are concretes. I get pistachio juice in mine which is something most people don’t know they have. I also get a strawberry shortcake ? concrete which is amazing!!! 10/10 recommend!!”
“We were excited to try the Tavern tonight for the first time. We were a bit underwhelmed. I only got 3 scallops for a $45 entree (even Disney will give you 4 for the same price). Additionally, the fries and baked cookie had a burnt aftertaste from the oven. For $150, we thought it was significantly overpriced for what we got.”
“This is not exactly a place to go for a meal . It's a place to go for a beer and if you get hungry, they offer some yummy choices to go with your drink. Small with some tables and a bar, pool table, a neighborhood stop with that Smokey bar ambiance. Menus at the table, ordering at the bar. Burgers, hot dogs, and some surprise choices on menu like hummus, falafel, chopped salad. Portions small, prices fairly reasonable, service friendly. I enjoyed a small salad with a requested change of falafel instead of chicken. No problem and tastey with a hot honey squirt on top.If you're in the area , a nice stop for a beer and a nosh.”
“i def expected way more based off the pics, but the sandwich i had (zelie, which was like cinnamon ice cream) was post basic too me & was pricey. almost $10 for a ”

“Was in St Louis for 4 days visiting a friend. We were trying to find a nice locals type place with a good selection of cocktails and good atmosphere. Thanks to Google we stumbled upon this place. It was nice just to sit the in the corner, have a drink, listen to quality music and play chess.”
“An incredible dining experience all around from the welcome drinks to the take home desert. We're very glad we went and we'll definitely be back to taste the next creation of plates the chef comes up with!”

“Amazing service and the food was exceptional. I got the fish curry - delicious flavor with perfectly cooked fish. Everyone was happy with their food - my young kids. I’m just traveling through St. Louis, otherwise I’d be back again for sure. Highly recommended.Kid-friendliness: My child likes plain raw tofu and steamed vegetables and the chef came out from the kitchen to make sure she understood exactly what we needed. They got it all just right.”
“I was like a kid in a candy store when I walked into the restaurant. Seeing that the Cuban bread was from Tampa, FL, was great to see, since I'm from that area.Tonya, she was the sweetest!Amazing tasting food! Large portions especially on the "Cuban Food Lovers" dish.The Congri rice, plantains, yucca w/Mojo, Ropa Veija, Mojo Roasted Pork & the Havana's Piccadillo, ALL TASTED AMAZING. I miss these type of foods and I have finally found a resturant close to us.WE WILL BE BACK!”

“First time dining at this establishment. Of course I Loved that it is Black Owned.. Food and Drinks were awesome. We had the wings(lemon pepper and Honey Hot), the Chicken Philly Roll, and Spinach Artichoke Dip. They offer BOGO margaritas after 6pm. Next, I plan to try the Brunch menu on Saturdays and Sunday..”

“This is absolutely our favorite place for breakfast. The fresh bags are incredible and the gooey butter is out of this world. On a nice day we love sitting in their outside area. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for an authentic St Louis dining experience.”
“I’m not from or currently living in St. Louis but the food at Lona’s made me wish I was. Thank you for the incredible food.Dietary restrictions: Very vegan friendly”
“The martinis here and fantastic!! Great place to hang out, grab drinks and food! Friendly staff and they’ve got a great drink menu that is sure to fit anyone’s desire.”
“Damn this place is fantastic. Date night, girls night, friends night...the atmosphere is sexy, the food great, and there's never been a drink that a single person we've been with wasn't completely wowed by. We love "Yellowbelly" on its own (especially for large groups/business lunches)- Lazy Tiger is a great addition to the place.”
“My daughter and I did a girls trip and for our final night out we chose Charlie Gitto's. Walked in to a friendly greeting with 5 star service. Wendy our server is an absolute gem. When most servers ignore my teenage children she upped the ante and fully engaged her in conversation. We felt we were leaving behind an old friend. The food was absolutely fantastic! Toasted ravioli, the gnocchi and the seafood Suzanne were so excellently prepared. Left with to cannolis to go and an amazing memory!!”
“What a stellar brunch! Squires is nestled in an adorable neighborhood, and totes even more ambiance inside. We walked in on the market side and were immediately greeted by all of the goodies they sell there, live piano being played, and the incredible hospitality of the woman working the counter that Saturday.We were seated for our reservation promptly, and unfortunately I think they may have been a bit overbooked for the staff they had on hand because my only complaint the whole time is that the service was extremely slow. It was packed so I'm sure it's not that big of a reflection on our server, who was stressed and at times seemed disinterested and had very little to say about the menu and options at the restaurant. I think he was simply spread way too thin.Once we ordered and got our Bloody Mary's, we checked out the bar. It wasn't as impressive in person as it looked online, things were a little sparse (I think maybe again due to the high volume they were serving) but everything tasted delicious.I had the smoked salmon board and it was stellar!I would certainly come back any time I'm in the area, but I would love to strongly recommend to management that they staff up a little more for Saturday brunch.”
“Elite. In food and service. The pasta has me in a chokehold that I never want to get out of! You can tell that the chefs really put their time into designing and preparing the dishes. I go here a lot and this visit was getting dinner with a friend. The server was amazing. She was attentive and never let our water dip below half glass. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, but it was still easy to have a conversation without yelling and still felt private. If loving Katie's Pizza & Pasta is wrong, I don't want to be right! 15/10 would recommend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free optionsParking: Large parking lot shared with other businesses. Plenty of spaces.”
“Wow! I can't brag about this place enough. A friend & I came for Happy Hour. The wings have a delicious sweet & spicy sauce, the brussel sprouts are cooked to perfection, the deviled eggs are so tasty, the burgers are chef's kiss & their drinks are legit. Our service was 10/10! The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming.”
“We go there every year for our anniversary. Have never been disappointed. The food is amazing, and the staff are second to none. Always knowledgeable, and helpful with menu questions. This is why we spend our special day with them. See you soon!!!”
“Catering for hungry athletes!!! This was hands down the best meal, service and value I’ve ever experienced. We needed to feed a team of teenagers after playing and Len from Zia’s was amazing. Everything went exactly as planned. Communication was prompt and regular. Len set everything up for us and helped us dress the salad and make sure we had everything we needed. The food was an absolute hit with the parents and the players. We demolished the salad and bread and the baked mostaciolli and put a huge dent in the pasta alla vodka sauce. Everyone got second helpings and were thrilled with their meal in the hotel basement of the Hampton Inn downtown. This meal put all others to shame and my only regret is that Len and Zia’s aren’t available in the other cities we’re headed to. The next time we are in St Louis we will make Zia’s our meal of choice!! Thank you!!!Vegetarian options: We went meat free since it was a Friday in Lent. No one missed the meat!! So good!”
“We ordered to-go curbside and were pleasantly impressed with Anthonino’s food. Their curb side service was excellent too, they texted me as soon as I pulled up and brought my order out right to my car.The toasted ravs were everything you could want from t-ravs and the pizza was also really nice, except next time I’d probably opt for cheese vs. the four meat which is what I had. Also, the pasta was awesome. It was simple, but comparable to dishes I’ve had in Italy.Overall, would be coming back!”

“Food was delicious! Ribs LITERALLY fell off the bone. We had the slaw, potato salad, pasta salad, and apple sauce...all were so good! Staff was awesome...so friendly and attentive! Definitely a must go to! We will be back!”

“I love the food!! I ordered the teriyaki chicken bulgogi with yakisoba noodles, and my wife got jayook bulgogi which has that soothing smokey taste. So so good! Our new favorite place now! Service is also 10/10.”

“I visited with my elementary school children for a concert. There will be a security check by staff at the entrance. Minors are welcome to use the venue if accompanied by a parent, but once they leave the venue after 9pm, they will not be able to re-enter. A small bag is best for luggage. The inside of the venue wasn't that big, it wasn't too small, it was just the right size!There is an area with chairs and tables, and the front rows are close to the stage, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a space there. The standing area is relatively close to the stage no matter where you view it, especially if you can secure space. There are restrooms inside the venue and a stylish bar counter. After the concert, it was already past 10pm, so I stayed at the Moonrise hotel next door, which was really convenient as it was just a short walk away! This street is lined with stylish cafes and restaurants, making it perfect for sightseeing.”
“The atmosphere of this place was spectacular! Place was very clean. Everyone was very nice. Great portion sizes. We will definitely visit here again. I wish they had a few more options for vegetarians.”
“Typical waffle house experience, excellent food, great service, as always a 10/10. Kinda bummed I didn’t see a fight but oh well, my blue berry waffle was fire.”
“Yes, in this tiny little town, I had the best pizza I had for years. They do pizza right by heaps of cheese and toppings, not bread! While everyone else props their crust, the bread, Piccadilly Circus Pizza puts the focus where it should be, cheese, cheese, and more cheese. Delicious!”
“Had chicken and waffles for the first time. They were amazing.Cikyra our Server was incredible. Fast friendly helpful.The cook staff the same. Look forward to eating here again.A+ all ”
“I ordered dinner at the bar at Copia in Clayton. Excellent wine selection. Food was very good. Hostess was really friendly, I believe she is a college student. Very nice and checked on us throughout the evening. There was a young man playing acoustic guitar and singing in the bar area, very talented. Overall I felt that my Saturday evening with friends at Copia was a well spent evening. I will be back.”
“This is my all time favorite Subway!! These people know how to make a sub, very eye edible, I mean you look at it and you can't wait to take your first bite! I've always gotten what I ordered! The bread is fresh, the meats, cheese and veggies are fresh! I'm 100% pleased with my sub!! Thank you guys!!”
“Tonight, around 1 am, my wife and I casually drove through this Jack in the Box location craving a late-night snack. I must say, this visit stands out as one of the most enjoyable fast food experiences we've had since before the pandemic. The service was speedy, courteous, and the food was scrumptious. The small team working at this location on March 10, 2024, at 1 am truly went above and beyond. They all deserve recognition and appreciation for their hard work. This Jack in the Box has now earned its place as our preferred spot for late-night munchies, and has flat-out restored our faith in the fast food industry.”
“This was the best dining experience I have had in a long time! The staff was fantastic, service was fast and food was delicious. Princess Kendra was the best!! Someone needs to give that girl a raise. She always had a smile on her face. If I could leave six stars I would!!”
“I went through the drive through and ordered breakfast sliders. I love that they use fresh cracked eggs and not the substitute that most places use.Parking: The lot is a bit small”
“Me and my friend came to the Waffle House around midnight. Tanya made our first Waffle House experience worthwhile. Her service was friendly and very helpful. Food was delicious.”
“The food was freshly prepared. We came at a non busy time so it was quick, fresh, hot and no mistakes were made. Since we don’t have White Castle where I live it this a fast food travel stop every-”
“Literally the nicest staff ever. I've been to this location twice and to say they treat you like family is an understatement. So sweet and efficient! Lovely people and amazing food!!”
“They haven't let me down this far. u might have to stand in line, especially drive-thru, but it moves pretty quickly, but on the real, I just go in. Sometimes, it's ”
“The lady working the drive through on her Sunday was so sweet. Order was right and ready fast. We never have problems with this White Castle after church. Staffed correctly for the traffic.”

“Great little deli tucked back on this little neighborhood!! There was a little line, but that was expected. The line moved quickly. The service was great!! I ordered the Mike's spicy beef and cheddar. It was fantastic! So good!! Will definitely be coming back!!”
“Amazing Food, absolutely blew me away. The service was great and the staff were super friendly. The atmosphere however was an experience unlike any other. Highly recommend The Gramophone if you're in the area!”
“We love coming to Road Crew and grabbing some coffee and some of their baked goods. The food selection is limited to baked goods but everyone single one we've tried has been great. The space is beautiful-- lots of natural light and and seating options. Apart from the coffee they have a cycling corner with bikes, cycling gear and a repair area. The staff is very sweet!”
“Nice location in the Grove...food was good and out very fast and cashier gave a very thorough explanation of what was most popular when we got to the counter to order unprompted ...as it was our first visit this info was very helpful...about 20 minutes for 2 ppl on a Friday night from order to walking ”
“This is an order at the counter and pick your seat establishment, so be prepared when you walk in to potentially wait in line for a bit. The service is always top notch and the food is always out fast and well cooked. The restaurant is clean and homey with a fireplace and wooden chairs.There is a little market with on theme home goods, shirts, and toys.”
“Ladies waiting tables were super. Younger servers at most places just care about the tip and not the service. But at Piccadilly they actually care about the customer. Will be ”

“Have been here many times, never disappoints. Recently tried the French toast, which was delicious! Waiter dissappear for quite a while and had to ask someone else to get us the check but other than that, no complaints.”
“Good Deli food in Westport. Quick service for us. The Pastrami Reuben and French Dip were both very tasty. I thought the sauerkraut ratio was spot on. The menu is simple and straight forward. The ambience isn't anything special. Just a Deli with no frills so that you aren't distracted from their purpose.”
“Food was delicious! Ribs LITERALLY fell off the bone. We had the slaw, potato salad, pasta salad, and apple sauce...all were so good! Staff was awesome...so friendly and attentive! Definitely a must go to! We will be back!”

Top Sushi
“Saw this place near our hotel with 4.9 and a couple hundred reviews so i was intrigued. Walking in, you can see this is a hole in the wall joint. Didnt smell any fishy smell which was a good sign. We ordered some crab rangoons and a bunch of rolls. Also ordered some sashimi. The sashimi is some of the biggest pieces i have ever received and it tasted and smelled fresh. The rolls were all pretty solid as well and big. This place is a gem. Definitely come visit here.”
“Glad to see another place that helps people of all ages learn to cook. It's more than just a restaurant. It's a place to where people can learn how to cook, and if for some reason a restaurant or other place of employments wants their applications to think that the applicant is no older than 25 or 30, this way, through education, it's a way to make the applicant have more of a recent "schooling" on cooking. I was hoping that you could returning to dining in, but if the move to delivery or taking out has become permanent, we can see how people think it is so funny to play games with a dangerous virus as they believe it would only go away with a wave of a magic wand. I hope that I can someday stop in for a cup of coffee.”
“We go there every year for our anniversary. Have never been disappointed. The food is amazing, and the staff are second to none. Always knowledgeable, and helpful with menu questions. This is why we spend our special day with them. See you soon!!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Best BBQ I have had in a long while. Salt and Smoke and SugarFire has NOTHING on this place. Must try even if you have to go out of your way. Large portions and add a second side for only a $1.”
“We went to the restaurant for our first time. We had Ox Tails with Red Beans and Rice along with Peas and Rice with Collard Greens. Very favorfull! We met the manager and shared our experience. We'll be back!”
“This isn’t my most frequented Fit-Flavors location but I love stopping here when I’m in the area for the smoothie bar options while I’m shopping for my weekly meals. I always ask the staff for suggestions on my protein shake and they never disappoint. Parking is also convenient with spaces right out front making it easy to get in and out if you’re in a hurry.”
“Been a long time since I went by Chuck A Burger Drive-In. Glad I did. Car hop came out quick. Got my order and my food came out even quicker it seemed. Good well seasoned double smash burger with LTOP and small fries. Those were the best fries I've had in a LONG time. I'll try to get back sooner. Love the curb service experience.”
“Today I drove down South Kingshighway to try a restaurant recommended by one of the talented ladies at Sonder Lush Nail Salon.She told me her favorite menu item was Honduran Fried Chicken. I just had to go and find out for myself what made Honduran Fried Chicken so special.I arrived at exactly 12:00 pm and the lady behind the counter smiled at me, held up one finger…the one that means "just minute" and continued taking an order by phone. The smell of the food had my stomach putting on makeup and eyelashes…we were about to throw down! I chatted with a gentleman that was picking up food for his entire crew (it had to be about 20-30 to go containers). I asked him what his favorite item was and he said he and his coworkers love the Carne Asada. Enough said!A lovely young lady walked to the counter, gave me a menu, let me know I could sit wherever I liked, and patiently took my order. (Patiently because I asked a lot of questions ?.)I ordered…Pupusas de Queso: soft corn tortilla filled with cheese. It came with a side of what "I" am describing as slaw with salsa (?)...it was good!Polo Cena: Fried Chicken, Beans, Eggs, Honduran Sour Cream, Cheese, and Green Fried Banana Chips. I am not going to try to describe the amazing flavor of the fried chicken, I was simply blown away. I am not sure if I can eat fried chicken any other way now. #onthe12sCarne Asada: I ordered it to go, but tasted it in the car. It reheated well in the oven and had my kitchen smelling amazing. It was delicious!Extra notes: EVERY customer that walked into this restaurant smiled and said hello to me. The customer service was OUTSTANDING!”
“This a new favorite place...great food and thereis kind of a challenge there currently 30 burger patties with 30 slices of cheese....and you get to name it. Go for 31”
“We had a great breakfast!!Loved the baked oatmeal and spinach-beet juice ?Had the big breakfast!!!Incredible!!!This is our new go to for breakfast.Great to finally have a place you can get healthy food!!Vegetarian options: Spinach beet juice is amazing!!The baked oatmeal was delicious ?”
“Tender tips & baked beans with just right amount of beef ??potato salad tasted like granny was back there making it, ONLY COMPLAIN SPAGHETTI WASN'T READY (DID APOLOGIZE & SAY IT WOULD BE READY AT 1)Kid-friendliness: Clean professional environment ????Parking: Plentiful”
“Definitely a local dive bar. When I stopped in I chatted with the bartender ans she said it's mostly just regulars, but they were all friendly which made for a fun environment”
“Went in for takeout for the first time. My wife ordered a chicken ceasar wrap, and I was talked into the wings. I ordered a large fry to split. Food was good, but after the food cost and takeout fee it got a little pricey for 2 people. Pictured is the Wings ($13) and the Large Fries ($8). Wings and fries were good, but not $21 + takeout fee good.”
“Very professional service. Always a friendly employees greeting. I was confused on my spicy chicken deluxe. I got 2 chick tenders instead of a chicken breast. Good taste just did not fill the bun as the breast would.”
“This place hardly had any business. Not sure why. Maybe its location is not ideal.The food was good. The parking is a bit odd in my opinion but there was plenty and free.The store was clean. The employees were friendly enough.I had a sandwich with au ju I believe that is how it is spelled. I also had fries that seemed like reheated old fries but, the sandwich was good”
“I simply love everything about this Starbucks! Ami, Lisa, Amie, and the rest of the team are always so incredibly kind to me and make my experience wonderful every time. I only Go to this location now! Thanks to the Brentwood team for starting my day so positively every time!”
“I have never been thru this drive thru but this was the BEST experience. All the workers were amazing, friendly & caring. I will definitely be back!!Parking: Lots of room & great signs letting you know where to go.”
“My partner and I tried a new Culver’s location and it was AWESOME. I grew up in Wisconsin and the fries were some of the best fries I’ve had at a Culver’s. Sissy was the person who checked me out and she was AMAZING. We high fived. Her energy was great. Jason, the manager, was the person who took my partner’s order and brought our food out. He was clear about extra charges for things and also very kind. The cheese curds, grilled cheese with tomato, and the concrete mixer were absolutely delicious. Thanks y’all! We will be backVegetarian options: They do have a veggie burger and grilled cheese, but I think that is it unless you go the salad route or ask to make mods. The majority of the sides are vegetarian and the custard!”
“My favorite place for cold pressed juices! The staff is so nice and helpful. Don’t forget to try one of the breakfast sandwiches! They are delicious.Vegetarian options: Almost all vegetarian, and great for vegans.Parking: Sometimes hard to find a spot to park as it’s in busy CWE. Lots of delivery trucks doubled parked makes navigating the area unpleasant.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible”

“My partner and I celebrated our anniversary there and the service and treatment was outstanding! And the food was delicious! They made our celebration very special! Thank you!”
“We ordered to-go curbside and were pleasantly impressed with Anthonino’s food. Their curb side service was excellent too, they texted me as soon as I pulled up and brought my order out right to my car.The toasted ravs were everything you could want from t-ravs and the pizza was also really nice, except next time I’d probably opt for cheese vs. the four meat which is what I had. Also, the pasta was awesome. It was simple, but comparable to dishes I’ve had in Italy.Overall, would be coming back!”
Fine Dining
“I would give this place 4.5 if that was an option, the food was delicious, the best thing in my opinion were the sides of the proteins, the carrots were probably the best ones I’ve had amazing, potatoes amazing and cauliflower very tasty. The meals as I said, 5/5!. The whole experience and service was maybe 3.5/5. The timing of the meal felt at first rush, we got the first course and we still had basically full cocktails, no much mention on the wines and pairings (we ended sharing a couple of glasses of wine we picked out the menu and turned out good). Despite my complaints I recommend this place, the food was good and with the changes coming with the a la carte menu, I’m excited to try other dishes.”
“Originally from STL but haven't lived there for two decades. When I am there, approximately once a year, Olio is the number one place I need to go. Everything they turn out is amazingly well thought out with creativity and passion second to none. I consistently dream about their egg salad... the decor and vibe is perfect, service is always top notch... there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place.”
“New ownership is fantastic, all the ladies behind the bar are gorgeous and a blast to talk to. Cool patio and outdoor bar. Food is awesome. TVs everywhere. Great stereo in and outside. Enough said!!”
“I would def recommend their side Lobster Chipotle Mac n Cheese and Brussel Sprouts. Our server was so personable and kind. It's quite the dining experience, I would definitely check it out. They have unique bread and butter. It was delicious.”
“Very friendly bar with very cold beer. Rocksann was our bartender she was great and kept the beers coming. If you like darts you should check them out they have steel and soft tip with the latest equipment. I will be heading back.”
“Our waiter Ryan was great. He provided excellent service and was very concerned about our experience. Chef Shelby did an excellent job preparing our steaks and presentation was beautiful.”
“This entrance is deceiving, as it is in a home, and you actually enter through Olio. It is truly a unique space unlike any other though. Transported to the inside of someone's living room, it has a cozy feel that doesn't seem overly pretentious or boisterous. It feels like a quiet evening at home, amongst friendly acquaintances. The food was delicious and plated beautifully. However, the lighting made snapping a decent photo nearly impossible it was a lesson in accepting limitations and enjoying things in the present. Loved the Thai smoked scallops, fancy butter and divine breads, the crepe lasagna dish, and the desserts. The price seems a bit high but still reasonable for the quality of food and service delivered. Definitely a worthy experience.”
“Ordered to go. Food quality is great, taste is great. Definitely on the expensive side. Carpaccio is the best I’ve had in St.Louis, truffle oil is a genius’s touch. Duck fettuccine is amazing. Beef tartare is also pretty good, not much seasoning, raw beef of great quality, love the fish on the tartare!”
“STANDING OVATIONAll the food was amazing but this was far more than dinner out. I am a total foodie and had romantic ideas of what a Supper Club experience would be like and this exceeded my expectations. Lovely live music, beautiful setting, amazing food, great service, amazing conversation with friends and NEVER felt rushed as they do not turn tables.Amy and Vito Racanelli have thought through every detail you can imagine and along with their staffs were amazing hosts for the evening. We arrived at 6:30pm and closed the place down a little past 10pm. Not once did we feel rushed. In fact, I felt like I was in someone’s private space where they truly cared for our well being. This was our first time at Tempus and some of the things that stuck out to me were all the service wear; plates, serving dishes and cutlery were all beautiful and part of the experience. The tables are all beautifully hand-crafted by a local woodworker and during dinner I found myself studying the grains of the table as it was so beautiful.Ok now for the food and beverage overview. I started with an old-fashioned and it was amazing. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling white wine, I highly recommend the 2020 Saint-Hillaire, Blanquette de Limoux, France – great deal at $38! I am so grateful that the foodie friends who went with us love to try lots of things so we shared EVERYTHING and got to taste so much. There was an amuse-bouche that they brought to the table with a roasted eggplant on toast points and a cucumber with some sort of whipped cheese on top. This was a great way to awaken our taste buds. We then had Smoked Trout with Toast Points which were perfect texture and flavor. Next were 2 Waldorf Salads with the plates and salad properly chilled and perfectly dressed. Excellent and not to be missed. Before our entrees arrived, we ordered the bottle of Pinot Noir which paired very nicely with the rest of the meal that was on the way. For our entrees we had the Local Pork Schnitzel - GENEROUS portion and perfectly crispy. We also shared the local Roasted Amish Chicken. I am always amazed at how the quality of chicken can impact the flavors and texture of your eating experience. They have surely curated from an amazing farm not just the chicken but all the ingredients. To accompany the entrees we had the Creamed Spinach and Local Sautéed Mushrooms – do not miss either of these sides they were PERFECT!!! The mushrooms in particular were a variety of shapes, sizes and textures adding a bit of complexity eaten alongside both the pork and chicken. We finished off with 2 hot fudge sundaes (Chocolate Fudge and Butterscotch) and the Chocolate Layer Cake. We finished off cleansing our palates with some homemade Limoncello. As a foodie, when I have a great meal I like to pop my head in the kitchen at the end of a meal and thank everyone. My jaw dropped at how clean and organized this kitchen was at the end of a very busy evening which is true testament to the care and pride everyone has for the work they do. I am sure I have not done the evening experience justice but we plan to go again and bring more friends along for the experience but only if they are willing to share what we order as there is too much good stuff. In summary, it was a lovely evening and a great memory we will share with our friends.”
“We were seated in the Whiskey room and had a fantastic meal. Great wine selection, recommend 8 years in the desert. Lobster appetizer was fabulous and the steaks were awesome. Excellent service and atmosphere. Great evening.”
“I have a few things to say for anyone reading through these reviews! First, my cake was phenonemal. I had the strawberry cake and everyone raved about it. The bad reviews are not due to the quality of the cakes. Absolutely incredible cake.Second, after reading the reviews, I placed my order online and then called the next day to confirm everything. I recommend anyone do this, as the online system is a bit confusing and clearly a significant amount of customers are having issues with it. Just call them! This is a family, made-to-order bakery so it is going to be different than a Walmart or Ubereats order. They were super nice and helpful on the phone and it was easy!Lastly, while I had a wonderful experience and did want to communicate that, I was turned off by the rude responses to other reviews - especially when there is a clear pattern in reviews. If so many people are having problems with the online system, it is probably worth considering a different system just so everything runs smoothly!”
“We ordered lunch for several of clients as a thank you for doing business with us. Our clients love JJ Fish & Chicken Grill chickent. The have best tasting chicken in the city.Thanks again Team M3GREEK.”
“Quality of food was very good, server seemed to either be rushed or non-existent but was very pleasant when she was with us. Her sense of urgency didn't match the level of activity in the restaurant (maybe 8 -10 total tables occupied). There are items marked vegetarian on the menu that are actually pescatarian, menu description didn't match what was served (salad said included kale, there was none). Price of menu seemed high but portions were generous. We are fox season ticket holders and was looking for a new go-to restaurant within walking distance and really wanted this to be outstanding and it missed the mark. We'll give it another try in a few months but it won't be our standard go-to.”
“What a treasured gem in St. Louis! We had a fantastic meal and great staff, Gary and James. Enjoyed the history lesson and fabulous fresh made table side Cesar salad and bananas foster. Steak and lobster are a must!Dietary restrictions: Appreciated them accommodating my gluten dietary restrictions.”
“Our family recently came across The Scottish Arms during a trip to WashU.The food appetizers, mains, and deserts were excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff was very attentive.”
“A fun night out. We had three seats. When we got there, people were seated at our table requiring our group to sit separately. While that allowed me to chat with others, perhaps reserved seating would be more accommodating.They cleared plates without asking if people were done. So, people came back from the drink line to their food gone. The bartender acted as they she was irritated by having customers.The actors were friendly.”

La Oaxaqueña
“Very good food, homemade salsa and good chips and Queso that is NOT watered down. But you have to find it!Great burritos and nice shrimp and chicken dish plus drink specials. They also have Taco Tuesdays with 0.99 cent tacos grilled or fried.Recommended local place!Kid-friendliness: Games and a fun atmosphere for bambinos.”
Cheap Eats
“We had an amazing VIP tour of the Clydesdales stable at the actual brewery. The history, the facts and of course the beer was great. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made it fun.”
“This is a must visit local spot if you haven't been. Tons of pinball games to choose from and plenty of cheap drink options. Tiny Chef is never a disappointment. Make a point to come here if you want to appreciate a South City experience.Vegetarian options: Tiny Chef carries vegan optionsKid-friendliness: Don't bring kidsWheelchair accessibility: Ramp at the main door. Two booth seating options. They're usually full, but this crowd would move if asked.”
“This place is a must! Highly suggest anyone try them out if you haven't! Me and my wife always love coming here, the guys are great and the food greater! I would definitely suggest putting this place on your radar!”
“Went after visiting the Weihnachtsmarkt at Timothy Lutheran Church up the road and it was a lovely treat. Saw this restaurant on channel 2 and highly recommend for anyone passing by. Was delicious ?”
“I came to visit my best friend from WNY. When I say we are in love with this shop, it’s not even the half of it. Let me start with the friendliness and knowledge we received by the staff was fantastic. The atmosphere in the cafe was a total vibe that I dig.Now, let’s talk about the banana chocolate bread, cinnamon roll and the blueberry lemon yogurt muffin.The bread was fantastic, it was fluffy it had a nice balance between the banana and the chocolate chip.The cinnamon roll the right amount of icing. I’m still figuring out if it was a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Whatever the ingredient is was fantastic. I bought these pastries on Sunday and I heated up the bun as instructed by the baker and it was not messy or hard.By far my favorite pastry is the Blueberry Lemon yogurt muffin. Let’s talk about the fluffiness/ airiness this muffin has. It’s so airy and delicious. First bite was a love at first taste.Finally, the coffee. The staff was so helpful recommending drinks. Our party had the follow following drinks:raspberry white mocha latte 4.5/5I bachlava you 5/5 (the honey flavor was really known)Truffle moccha 4/5White chocolate/hazelnut latte 5/5I hope at one point I can come back and visit this gem in a near future. Maybe they can start shipping their pastries ?.Do yourself a favor don’t walk run and try this shop out.”
“Bartender was preoccupied with serving the men. The kitchen brought my meal and condiments. Kinda strange. I was a bartender for many years. We tip just as good as the men, sometimes better, when we receive good services.”
“Wanted some curry for dinner and my boyfriend found this place not far from us, went in and was greeted warmly by the owner. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala as our main entrees and they did not disappoint! Very flavorful and had great portion sizes. We ordered a strawberry lemonade boba drink that was refreshing and some baklava as a dessert. The baklava was so soft and yummy! After finishing our food, the kind owner gave us free homemade ice cream that was probably the best ice cream both me and my boyfriend have tasted. Highly recommend if you want some good food and as great atmosphere.”
“Great, low-key place - more like a neighborhood place than a fast-paced microbrewery! Beer Garden now open along with the new Kitchen, and both continue to improve!”
“Great ice cream place. Lots of great flavors and even some really great non-dairy flavors. Street parking, so when it's busy you may have to park a little way down.They also have dog ice cream too;”
“They have incredibly good food & generous portions! The service was fantastic. Gyros are where it's at. Make sure you also get whatever pastries they have on the counter.”
“Good food. You pay a premium for decor & super fresh food. Be ready, if you're going during lunch hours, there is a long wait. It took me an hour for an online order (once placed), but I was ready for this before I came.Again, I can't stress how fresh everything is. The food is inventive & not over sauced. Portions and HUGE, so you definitely will not go away hungry. We placed an office order and it was delightful.Parking: It's in an odd spot, best way in seems to be the plaza adjacent to the restaurant. However, there is plenty of parking there.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere, hip music and great decor. Staff is pleasant as well. It's really busy during mealtimes, so seating could be limited.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy mobility space & access, however some tables are bar-height & with limited seating, there may not be a good place to sit if your chair-rider is bringing a group too.”
“Very clean and cozy. Everyone is kind from the front of house, bar staff as well as interacting with guests feel’s homely. It was my first time here . The ordering process was a breeze as our server was very attentive and patient. The recommendation I received was for the chicken wings and may I say they exceeded my high expectations. We ordered a lot of food but it came out fast, fresh and delicious. The lamb chops were prepared to perfection and the carrot cake is the best I’ve ever had! The cake its self is so moist with the perfect blend of spices accompanied by a not overly sweet cream cheese frosting! Yum yum yum!! We’ll definitely be returning to patronize in the near future.”
“Bingsu! Give me all the bingsu.I feel less guilty when I eat bingsu. The portions are much larger but it feels lighter to me. Just let me be naive. I don’t need to know the truth on calorie counts. lolSpoonful is our Korean dessert spot in St. Louis. The story behind its inception makes me happy. Founder Monica Lee's shares her love for bingsu to our St. Louis community from trying Korean desserts all over the world and bringing them here. The menu, featuring a variety of treats from bingsu to taiyaki and bubble tea, offers something for everyone.We got the cereal killer, biscoff caramel, and oreo bingsus. They were light and delicious!It was packed and these folks move fast! Excellent service!”
“Lily's Panaderia has been open for many years. If you are a loyal customer or have visited the bakery, You’ll recall the old location being small and cozy. Their new location offers more space for customers to enjoy their freshly baked treats alongside a cup of coffee to start the day. If you like a savory treat, I would recommend the bread with cream cheese and jalapeño. For the sweet treats, I would recommend the conchas. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try real authentic Mexican bread here in STL. Lily’s panaderia always excels in taste and presentation too.”
“Best Cafe in all of St. Louise. Owner is awesome. Try the hot sauces they make from scratch with peppers grown in their garden. Everything we had was phenomenal!!”
“First timer! I must say, This was an experience! A great one! Speed of service, presentation, food quality, was all top tier! The customer SERVICE has been the best service I’ve received this year! Nate was so pleasant! Very welcoming, knowledgeable of the menu, and offered great suggestions/ recommendations! Can’t wait to return!”
“There was an hour and a half wait for a table at Broadway Oyster Bar, so we walked to Billy's on Broadway, a place none of us had been to. That was quite fortunate because the food here is fantastic. The T-Ravs are phenomenal.”
“Came here while on vacation and was greated with a romantic vibe and kind faces. Started off with the garlic knots that were absolutely phenomenal. They had a perfect garlic taste with a hint of spicyness from pepper. Followed that up with the St Louis Pepperoni Pizza and the Margarita Pizza. Both were absolutely amazing. I'd suggest if you don't like the flavor of "burn", then ask your server for it to be cooked a little less. Parking was free, but on the street. Overall, this was a nice little joint and to anyone who reads these reviews, it's absolutely worth the visit!”
“The ribs were the best thing we ordered but brisket, turkey, and pulled pork also pretty good. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Fast service. Will definitely be coming back!”

Truffles
“Celebrated our 36th anniversary here. We shared the shrimp ceviche, truffle fries and a bottle of champagne. I feasted on the salmon pad Thai while my husband had the Denver Waygu steak. A complementary flourless chocolate torte topped off a fantastic meal. David is the best server! Thank you for sharing our special evening with us!”
33
Teatopia
“Teatopia is my new favorite hidden gem in STL!There are SO many tea options that it can be a bit overwhelming but the owner is extremely helpful and will help find something that you’ll love! The ambiance is laidback and quiet making the back dining room perfect to work from.I got a hot tea with milk and my friend got one of the smoothies with tea in it. We both loved our drinks and can’t wait to come back for food!”
“Ladies waiting tables were super. Younger servers at most places just care about the tip and not the service. But at Piccadilly they actually care about the customer. Will be ”

Jack Nolen's
“Small place inside but they have a patio for warmer weather. Great food, service, and drinks. Will definitely be back. Meant to take photos of food but we ate it too fast. Burgers , chicken sandwich, and the cbgb fries are great!”
“Great sauces. Used to come every time I was in the city, but once I opened what I genuinely thought was the bathroom door only to realize it was just a storage closet, so I was of course immediately about to close it and move on but an employee yelled at me, grabbed the knob out from under my hand and closed the door ? It was so needlessly humiliating (needless in general) in such an intimate space too. My ears were hot while I had to then finish my meal in there, ugh. Left such a bad taste in my mouth I haven’t been back in years. Good food though.”
“Elite. In food and service. The pasta has me in a chokehold that I never want to get out of! You can tell that the chefs really put their time into designing and preparing the dishes. I go here a lot and this visit was getting dinner with a friend. The server was amazing. She was attentive and never let our water dip below half glass. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, but it was still easy to have a conversation without yelling and still felt private. If loving Katie's Pizza & Pasta is wrong, I don't want to be right! 15/10 would recommend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free optionsParking: Large parking lot shared with other businesses. Plenty of spaces.”
“Great local Italian place.I've walked by many times but was glad to finally come in.More of a fancier restaurant.Food was excellent. Service was great.I will definitely be back again.”

The Vandy
“One of the best cocktail bars as an out of towner from the east coast I’ve had. Makes me feel back in Brooklyn. Randy is awesome, super knowledgeable on not only the drinks but the beers they have offered in cans. Highly recommend for drinks. Limited food menu because restaurant took them over, but they are lovely!”
“Cute neighborhood bar/restaurant. Always on the list for good Stl cocktails so we gave it a try this past weekend. Really enjoyed my drink (it was strong but tasty!). Service was fast and we shared fries and dates which were both good!”
41
The Barn
“I am VERY biased as I work at The Barn... but I think this place is the bomb! The only challenge we ever have is sometimes there is a wait.... but that is a wonderful problem to have for us... and ALSO we now have a waitlist that you can join online... so having to wait is soon to be a problem of the past!PRO TIP #1: When I am working on Sat & Sun as the host... say the code-phrase "I go Coo-Coo-for-Cocoa-Puffs" to me and I will move you to the front of the list!PRO TIP #2: "Rutti-Tutti-Fresh-And-Fruity" also works as the code-phrasePRO TIP #3: This DOES NOT work on anyone else at The Barn, just me!”
“I must have come on an off day, but my eggs Benedict was not good. The hollandaise was broken, and one of the eggs was undercooked. The sourdough bread was fantastic, and the cappuccino was delicious. The potatoes and salad on the side was fine. I would come back but get a different entree. The person next to me got pancakes and they looked delicious.”
43
Arber Cafe
“I tried out Arber Cafe one day when Hatch'd was too busy and I haven't been back to Hatch'd ever since. Nothing bad on Hatch'd, but Arber Cafe is absolutely delicious! The menu has such a large variety, of both Albanian and Italian cuisines covering all of your breakfast and lunch needs. It is a family owned and operated business and you can tell how much they care about the quality of their food. They are very flexible with customizations and levels of seasoning on their food. The daughter of the owners is extremely friendly, connecting with every guest, and creating a very inviting experience. Their Americanos will beat anybody else hands down. Overall, try out Arber Cafe if you'd like a slice of European heaven for a day.Vegetarian options: There are many hearty, meatless dishes by and many could have the meats removed and still be a delicious meal”
44
Coffeestamp
“Mardi Gras gave me an excuse to finally make it down to this part of our world, for a pregame pick me up up empanadas, pastries and truffles. Coffeestamp is exceptional. Everything is freshly crafted... made to nothing short of perfection and so delicious!Empanada wise, tried the Pino and Brunch varieties. Really enjoyed the brunch one! Satisfying. Otherwise, had the PB& J Alfajores which was tasty. And in the completely unnecessary unapologetic indulgent department, tried the Fig & Goat cheese and the rosemary caramel truffles. Fig & Goat was blissful, divine and just too great.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”
“Catering for hungry athletes!!! This was hands down the best meal, service and value I’ve ever experienced. We needed to feed a team of teenagers after playing and Len from Zia’s was amazing. Everything went exactly as planned. Communication was prompt and regular. Len set everything up for us and helped us dress the salad and make sure we had everything we needed. The food was an absolute hit with the parents and the players. We demolished the salad and bread and the baked mostaciolli and put a huge dent in the pasta alla vodka sauce. Everyone got second helpings and were thrilled with their meal in the hotel basement of the Hampton Inn downtown. This meal put all others to shame and my only regret is that Len and Zia’s aren’t available in the other cities we’re headed to. The next time we are in St Louis we will make Zia’s our meal of choice!! Thank you!!!Vegetarian options: We went meat free since it was a Friday in Lent. No one missed the meat!! So good!”
“You wanna make me happy? Take me to Twisted Tree Steakhouse. I've lost count on the number of times I've been there, but let me tell you, it's delicious! I enjoy it so much that I've even got my friends and family loving it.From the salad with the delicious house-made dressings, the humongous baked potatoes, and the STEAK! Whew chile that savory, well seasoned steak! Yumm! In the warmer months, outside seating is available. I've just gotta say, I really love Twisted Tree. You really can't go wrong on the menu. Tasty, tasty, tasty! And always hot and fresh like I love my food to be. You feel like a ROCKSTAR when they bring your steak out in the fancy, silver, heated server. When they plate your steak in front of you, they ladle on a delicious jous! I'd be very surprised if you go and don't enjoy yourself.”
“The food was great. It was actually bigger portions than I expected. I'd go back again.Vegetarian options: Not much. The item that was on the menu was out, but they did have a substitute, which was some kind of noodle dish that my friend did get. He liked it!”
“I typically get the halibut or the medallions. Two of my favorite dishes at twisted tree. Last night, the dish came out with a different potato (whole crispy potatoes), which are good but the dish for the last several years is served on top of whipped mashed potatoes. The whole dish tasted different, somewhat bland. I added the waitress if I was crazy or maybe I switched out the potatoes and she said the menu just changed a few days ago. She did bring a side of whipped mashed potatoes, which was very nice, still doesn't have the same blend when it's typically layered: whipped potatoes, spinach, medallions, sauce - they all complement each other. The gal with me had never had the medallions and ordered it - she wasn't as impressed with the potato's, some of them were so crispy you couldn't cut it. First time I've been disappointed with a dish. Maybe in the future if I order this dish I substitute the potatoes. I eat at this establishment several times a month. Will always highly recommend. Only this one time did a dish not wow me!! MEDALLIONS Two 4 oz. beef tenderloin medallions over smashed Yukon Gold potatoes, sautéed spinach & mushroom brandy sauce.”
“Full disclosure: the owner happens to be ay friend. That said, it's still a great little neighborhood bar that also serves a nice selection of food. Their pizza is what everyone raves about, but I also had the fried artichoke hearts with a marinara sauce--really tasty.So here's the "Gallery" part: Dave has local artists' paintings up on the walls; everything is for sale, and the prices are actually affordable. The menu has artists names for the dishes, and they spelled all the names correctly!Nice selection of wines and beers, too.All in all, great place to meet a friend or a group.”
“Greatest ribs ever!!!!!! Fall off bone...delicious flavor!!My sister's recommendation as it is one of her favorites in St. Louis, MO!!Not sound issues with attached gun range. Unique facility!! On Manchester in St. Louis..”

Nomad
“The burgers and fries were great. I got the gravy on my fries. My husband got the dry rub chicken wings, he didn't really like the rub on them. They had a sweet almost like cinnamon flavor to them. The wings were cooked well we just don't prefer sweet wings. The service was ok.”
“Better burger than high point. Good and tasty, decent price and good service. I wish they'd told me this lil bar would have the best burger instead of those other spots.”
“Great food! The calzones were much larger than we expected the sauces were delicious. We had some jalapeño cheddar poppers that came with a strawberry jam sauce that had a spicy kick. Somehow this weird concoction turned out to be our favorite part.”
“The charcuterie board I ordered was phenomenal!!! Also the best slice of key lime pie you will find in St. Louis (the owner makes it homemade!)The owner was so sweet and helped each of us at the table pick wine that we would enjoy. Thank you for the hospitality ?”

“HO.LEE.SMOKESMy husband and I are absolute sushi snobs. Super judgy and have a ridiculously high opinion on the matter. This place is absolute gem. We both had sushi burritos. This place will be receiving love letters from me regularly.”
“Well maintained and presented seafood restaurant. Cajun fare with lobster, mussels, and shrimp. Have had the gumbo with a cat fish po boy, and also the shrimp po boy. Both were good and filling. They have an award winning lobster roll (market price) too if you are feeling adventurous!”

Pit Stop-STL
“I could go on and on about how great the food is, but what really sets them apart is the service. Every person that I've run into appears to genuinely like working there. Just makes for an overall enjoyable experience and obvious that the owners treat them well. And the patrons benefit from that. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.”
“We moved here from Memphis 2 yrs ago and this is the only place we have found in St.louis that I would definitely recommend and go back to over and over again! The food is amazing. We normally get the catfish and spaghetti plate with candid yams and when I tell you it slaps everytime! The food is always cooked hot and fresh, it's seasoned perfectly, and the service is amazing. They always greet you with a smile and seem happy to have you in. We normally order to go but the inside of the place is a whole vibe with music on weekends, if you are looking for somewhere to just chill and hangout that has good food and drinks as well. If you get by or are thinking about trying it definitely stop in!! It will be worth your while for sure!!”

fit-flavors
“This isn’t my most frequented Fit-Flavors location but I love stopping here when I’m in the area for the smoothie bar options while I’m shopping for my weekly meals. I always ask the staff for suggestions on my protein shake and they never disappoint. Parking is also convenient with spaces right out front making it easy to get in and out if you’re in a hurry.”
“Sunrise monster bowl is one of the most delicious, freshest things I’ve ever eaten.Made with care by a kind staff member. My orange slices were carefully dipped in lovely chia seeds and portions were very good!”
“use to go there a lot, went there last sat with 4 people waitress explained if we were staying for the noon band there would be a 25% gratuity even before we ordered drinks, when she delivered them she went over the gratuity again asking if we were gona stay for the band or not(it was 11:45, we said yes we hadnt even ordered yet. we ordered 2 whole muffelettas and was charge full price for 4 halfs ! once again she started with the 25% gratuity since the band started, very very rude, had to go up to bar for second round of drinks could not get her attention, we use to go almost every sat but wont be returning”
“Meatcraft at its finest! The ribs are phenomenal, perfectly done! Pulled pork and the baked beans are also spot on! Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I will be back!Parking: Plenty of street parking. Parking was no problem.”
“My husband and I live five minutes from here, we're trying to check out more Midtown spots. I happened across this place looking for somewhere to grab a drink before a late dinner reservation, and figured we would give it a try. We were only there about 30 minutes and sat at the bar. The bartender was so nice and chit chatted with us while he made drinks. All the drinks looked fantastic and I will definitely be back for cocktails. I just had a glass of wine and my husband a local beer so nothing too crazy. But they did have natural wines which are usually hard to find any my favorite, so I was happy! Great experience and seems like a cool spot.”

Lazy Tiger
“Damn this place is fantastic. Date night, girls night, friends night...the atmosphere is sexy, the food great, and there's never been a drink that a single person we've been with wasn't completely wowed by. We love "Yellowbelly" on its own (especially for large groups/business lunches)- Lazy Tiger is a great addition to the place.”
“This place is great! I really enjoyed the brisket which was very tender and my wife’s smoked turkey sandwich was exceptional. The vibe and service were also outstanding. I definitely recommend going to The Stellar Hog. Ps you gotta try the house made salami!”
“Today I drove down South Kingshighway to try a restaurant recommended by one of the talented ladies at Sonder Lush Nail Salon.She told me her favorite menu item was Honduran Fried Chicken. I just had to go and find out for myself what made Honduran Fried Chicken so special.I arrived at exactly 12:00 pm and the lady behind the counter smiled at me, held up one finger…the one that means "just minute" and continued taking an order by phone. The smell of the food had my stomach putting on makeup and eyelashes…we were about to throw down! I chatted with a gentleman that was picking up food for his entire crew (it had to be about 20-30 to go containers). I asked him what his favorite item was and he said he and his coworkers love the Carne Asada. Enough said!A lovely young lady walked to the counter, gave me a menu, let me know I could sit wherever I liked, and patiently took my order. (Patiently because I asked a lot of questions ?.)I ordered…Pupusas de Queso: soft corn tortilla filled with cheese. It came with a side of what "I" am describing as slaw with salsa (?)...it was good!Polo Cena: Fried Chicken, Beans, Eggs, Honduran Sour Cream, Cheese, and Green Fried Banana Chips. I am not going to try to describe the amazing flavor of the fried chicken, I was simply blown away. I am not sure if I can eat fried chicken any other way now. #onthe12sCarne Asada: I ordered it to go, but tasted it in the car. It reheated well in the oven and had my kitchen smelling amazing. It was delicious!Extra notes: EVERY customer that walked into this restaurant smiled and said hello to me. The customer service was OUTSTANDING!”
“Myself and my wife had our date night and I'm here to tell everyone this is definitely our new date night spot the food was FIRE ?And everything else was so amazing great place to take your ”

“Our food and drinks were great. I had the LEO and the Samoa pancakes and would have both again. The service was quite slow, but there appeared to be only one waiter working Sunday brunch who was absolutely doing the best he could. The live DJ makes for a fun atmosphere but was way too loud. Our table and surrounding tables were essentially yelling at each other. It was too much for me and I was glad when the DJ left.”
“Wow! I can't brag about this place enough. A friend & I came for Happy Hour. The wings have a delicious sweet & spicy sauce, the brussel sprouts are cooked to perfection, the deviled eggs are so tasty, the burgers are chef's kiss & their drinks are legit. Our service was 10/10! The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming.”
“Amazing. I’ve never been to a vegan restaurant but was blown away by this place. The service was fantastic and the food out of this world. I never knew so many flavors could coexist so well. Give it a try!”
“I did a delivery for this restaurant and the owner appreciated it so much he treated me and my daughter to lunch and the Fish Tacos were amazing! Definitely will be going back for those and the service was awesome!”
“Really good food. Shared several small plates. Got the goat cheese and pepper jelly appetizer, cauliflower appetizer, one of their salads, and a honey chicken sandwich. It was all delicious.”
“Special-ordered filet with shrimp, grilled to perfection and topped with a whole-roasted garlic cream sauce. Best carbonara I've ever had. Delicious fried escarole to start, delectable cassata cake to finish. Brought two kids and the servers treated them like royalty.This story is dime-a-dozen among Frank Papa's patrons. Brentwood's best-kept secret. Order the Carpini! Or the "eviction notice" pasta. Those chocolate martinis, and that chocolate ravioli. I could go on and on about this legendary restaurant. I could write a book about how working there changed my life.And tonight, I tell you now as a diner, the train is on the tracks and full speed ahead with Frank's more-than-capable nephew Rob at the controls. The food is still incredible, the service warm and welcoming, the atmosphere...home.If you have never been to Frank Papa's, I implore you: go. If you haven't been in a while: return. You won't find a more inviting fine-dining establishment with better food in St. Louis.”
“My first couple of visits were great! Food was good, service was good, etc. However, as of recently, going here feels like a disappointment. I took my sister to treat her to some boba, we got the order and not even 5 sips into the cup, AS we walked the small distance between the store and my parked car, it ran out and all that remained was ice. It is even more disappointing considering it was a children’s cup. The same happened with mine, and mine was a much larger cup. Quite literally, 75-80% of the cups were ice cubes. It feels like a waste of money when things like this occur and demotivates us from going here again, as it has happened multiple times now even with light ice requests.”
“If you’re looking for a wedding venue this is it! They are amazing! Their food is top notch. I still have guests reaching out just to tell me how good the food was. The service we received is so much more than they advertised. They go above and beyond to make your day special!! I would highly recommend requesting Lejla, and listening to all her recommendations. She knows the best vendors around STL. She has a million ideas for the decor that they let you borrow for FREE.”
“I have visited Trattoria Toscana a few times and decided to take my son and daughter in law for a celebration dinner. It was exquisite! The food was delicious as always. Frankie was an outstanding server and worthy of accolades! Trattoria Toscana will be my choice of restaurants to celebrate or just go out for delicious food for no special reason. So happy!”
“Amazing food, service and staff across the board. Our waiter Maz is in the team picture of best 5 waiters I’ve ever had. Attentive beyond necessity! What waiter pours 3 guys bottled beers into a frosty glass? Maz does! Total understanding of menu, ingredients and recommendations! Highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Maz! Definitely will be back next time i’m in St. Louis!”
“So happy we finally tried Yemanja! Waitress informed us we picked the perfect weekend to come because it's the last weekend Yemanja will be open in its current form. According to her, the owners are closing the restaurant for approximately one month and reopening as a Brazilian bar and grill with a different menu. I'm sure some regulars won't be happy about the change but I'm excited to try the new version of the restaurant next month. When we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation (we did not) this caught us by surprise because the website doesn't mention reservations. It wasn't an issue and we were seated immediately. The restaurant decor is festive and a bit eclectic. We ordered the National Drink of Brazil and it was very strong but great. I loved it. The heart of palm empanadas for the appetizer were recommended by our waitress and I'm glad we ordered them. I don't think I've ever had an empanada, they were very good. The options for vegetarians are limited but the only entree I could eat was really good and filling; I couldn't finish it. Yucca fries, black beans with rice and greens. The greens were my favorite. Entrees came either soup or salad. We both chose the salad and it was a nice salad. The house bread was okay, it came the seasoned butter. My boyfriend ordered one of the seafood entrees with shrimp. He loved it. Cleaned his plate. We will return for the new version of Yemanja. Hopefully there will be more vegetarian options.”
“I loved The Benevolent King’s new menu. Chef Elliot is a master! His creations are both delicious and beautiful! The nachos (like nothing you’ve ever had), Godzilla roll and tuna nigiri are just a few of my favorites! The atmosphere is like something you’d experience in NYC! We loved it!”
“This review was originally a lot lower when I first wrote it... 2 starts at first. Im glad I waited to write it because what started off rocky ended so well.We came in and were seated right away. We ordered, but it was taking a long time to get our food. Turns out, they mispalced our ticket order... twice. The servers were very kind (except for 1 of them), but it was chaotic and not well organized. 4 other parties who came in after us got their food before we did. It was not a complicated order (deluxe biscuits and gravy and Traditional breakfast), so we had decided to leave.The owner then came out, hand delivered our food, and apologized for the inconvenience. So, we decided to stay.Let me tell you... the food was worth the wait. SOO DELICIOUS. Easily the best biscuits and gravy and I've ever had. Additionally, the fried potatos were exceptional; perfectly crisp and well seasoned. We didn't walk away stuffed and bloated; it was just the right amount.The only other downside was that they didn't do anything to comp our order in spite of the less than stellar service at the beginning. A little disappointing.We almost walked out, but Im so glad we didn't. We will be back next time we're in town! Thanks, Nadia!”
“We love this family-run source of wonderful polish sausages. Our favorite is the Krakow, followed by smoked kielbasa, but as Mardi Gras approaches we'll also come get Paczki. The neighborhood has emptied-out, but we feel safe enough.”
“The vibe was really good for a birthday party! The kitchen staff were amazing. The happy hour specials are gonna be my reason for going back! Wish the wings were done a little more but overall it was really great!”
“Visiting from Springfield mo. This was a fun place to be on a saturday night! Drinks are extremely affordable! Had alot of fun with the karaoke! Wish this place was close to me it would be a regular spot of mine!”
“The spicy chicken curry and grape leaves were so good I’m literally writing this while still in the restaurant. If you’re a foodie that travels for authentic food, def come here. The grape leaves (often called dolmas) were so warm and fresh and the curry was just so good. One appetizer and one meal was enough for the two of us to share!”
“July 2023 update - My friend and I came back a couple times and the food has improved. Will be back again, increasing to four stars.Original review: My boyfriend and I have heard so many great reviews about Nudo House so we decided to try it! The ambiance was great - very modern and inviting; the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I asked what their suggestion would be and they said you can't go wrong with the classic Nudo or the Bahn Mi so we ordered both, but sadly it was very underwhelming. The flavor wasn't rich or flavorful like we expected, and the noodles tasted like instant ramen, kinda rubbery and very bland. Maybe it was just an off day for them but it was highly disappointing, especially after reading all the amazing reviews!Their Mai Lee restaurant, however, is incredible.”

“Stopped by for the holiday pop-up. Am a frequent guest for food and beverage pairings and tastings / events. A true gem on telegraph. Also a go to family dinner take out option for my in-laws. I smile whenever I recognize a left over box unexpectedly found in my fridge, they generally share, travel, and hold up very wellGive them a try if you haven't already.”
“So great to have this establishment here. No better spot to spend a cool summer night chatting on the patio, with their wide selection of wines and accompanying food items.”
“Somehow I forgot to review SSC when I ate here a few months ago, which is weird because I tell everyone how great it was.The ambiance here is very nice and the service is fantastic. But of course the food is the driving force here. The beef tartare was an awesome and unique appetizer that you'll only see at a high end place. The broccoli salad was excellent and presented beautifully. The duck was by far the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked on the inside with an amazing crunch and sauce on the outside. The chicken and pasta were also both great.I keep a list of restaurants in St Louis to try, from burger places to high end establishments. Sidney Street Cafe will remain at the top of that list and I'll be back for sure.”
“Smallish restaurant. Good food. I had the french onion soup and a burger. Soup was flavorful. The burger was good portion with homemade bread and butter pickles. Fries were cooked to perfection.”

“Delicious food with large portions! It was hot, fresh and seemed legit homemade and authentic. Fun atmosphere with live music! Service was efficient and attentive. Will return! You can tell the owner takes pride in operating a great restaurant.”
“Lovely staff, great atmosphere. My gluten free pasta was so good I had to send it back to make sure they hadn’t made me regular pasta by mistake!Dietary restrictions: Had gluten free pasta. Very accommodating”
“Hands down a fantastic restaurant. The decor, vibe, food, and service are outstanding! The waitress was also really nice and helpful. I will be back to this location. Thank you ??”
“This place was great. I am sad i didn't grab pictures. We seldom find someplace that everyone liked their food. And it was a bit pricy, but i dont think it wasn't a good value quality for the dollar. For example, the side of fruit is $4. It had blackberries, blue berries, straw berries, grapes, pineapple, and cantaloupe, and was a significant size. I doubt you could get that much fruit from a grocery store for $4. They were not shy with their bacon on the breakfast sandwich. The siracha was home-madede and fantastic. The coffee is debuque, a local premium brand, very good and again a bargain compared to say starbucks. The breakfast butters were unique, and we were split between our group on which was best (obviously the bacon maple was best). The biscuits were exactly what you wanted when you ordered a biscuit from some place, fresh, homemade, and filling. They dont have a kids meal, but a $4 side of pancakes was too much for my growing 5 year old to finish. While it is too expensive for a regular breakfast spot, it is one of the top brunches in st.louis, no doubt.Kid-friendliness: Not specifically kid friendly, but kids will enjoy their food.”
“We come into town once a year for a convention and eat here every night! The food is delicious, authentic, and high quality. It’s hard to choose but our favorites are the Crying Tiger Beef Salad, all of the sushi, and the Golden Shrimp. The service is amazing and always friendly. If you are in town on a busy weekend, make sure to make a reservation because this restaurant is the place to be. Thank you to everyone at Sen Thai for another great weekend!”
“By far the best Italian restaurant in St. Louis!!! The food is outstanding (we usually get the goat cheese ravioli appetizer and chicken spedini). Typically they split the dinner salad onto two plates which we greatly appreciate!”
“Very friendly place with great food. I had a very enjoyable lunch there today, which included a good conversation with the owner. This will definitely be my go-to lunch place whenever I'm in this area.Vegetarian options: Not my thing, but I did note that there is a veg section on the menu, and the choices looked pretty good.Parking: I was there during the mid-day when neighborhood residents were mostly not home, so the place and the street parking were not busy. It is a residential area however, with a dense college population, so parking would be a premium during off hours.Wheelchair accessibility: The entry does have an aluminum ramp, but it's rather short and steep. I'm thinking that most people who are wheelchair bound would still need help getting in the place.”

“I usually go on Friday afternoons if I get off work early, the music is always fun and such a vibe, love the bartender there. Best wine bar in St. Louis because of her. Also the rainbows when the early evening sun hits. It’s everything.”
“Great food, beer and overall atmosphere! Very vegetarian friendly with lots of veg options. The tofu banh mi was delicious! I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!”

“I hadn't been here in years since I no longer live nearby. But I stopped in for a late dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the great service we received as well as the delicious Ultimate Omeletes and hashbrowns we were served! They were perfect in evey way! The server was on top of everything we needed before we even had to ask. That is quite rare from what I have seen. Will definitely return. Prices are not bad either. Nice clean restaurant too.”
“A spiritual experience to eat corn beef and hash while watching your waitress accidentally pour a whole bottle of pancake syrup onto the 70's aromatic vintage carpet.”
“I love this place. Quality food. Large portions. Consistency. They even messed up my wife's order. But corrected it right away. Our waiter was a super nice guy. Mesethra cheese pasta in the brown butter is the boom.”
“It is great that they offer the Beyond Burger. I love that. I usually get it with fries, but there are several options for vegans.Vegetarian options: Beyond Burger ?”
“I was visiting from out of town this past weekend and my boyfriend bought me a St Paul omg it was so freaking good. I will be back. Wish I could have some shipped to me.”
“Brasilia is a smaller, lively spot on south Grand that's worth checking out if you're interested in trying something new. The seafood paella and chicken curry were my favorite dishes, and the carrot cake and mango cake were phenomenal. The service staff are friendly and welcoming, and the owner is very personable and clearly has a passion for the food and the people dining there. My only complaint is how much I ate. I will definitely be coming back.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options. Pescatarians will have an easier time.”
“Used as a UPS Access Point. I had never even heard of this place. I actually selected another UPS, but they delivered here. The gentleman that helped me could not have been more nice and pleasant. Perhaps, I'll come back and try some of the food. Don't judge a book by its cover.”
“Great local bar . Local people with deep roots. Great service great prices great people. City of St Louis MO. Thank you Tim great bar hangout with Scott Eric for the hospitality and thank you for recommending Gioia's Deli for lunch tomorrow.You can buy smokes at the bar and cheap drink . Heated outdoor seating for cold nights !Parking: Back in to your spot if on a diagonal and tire on curb !”
“Grace Chicken & Fish is so good! You have to try the Grace burger- it’s so delicious!! Tasty and juicy with all the right flavors to make the burger really tasty! The carrots & brussel sprouts was really good and overall the place it’s just good! Easy, 10/10”
“11/1/23 @345pm.The awesome lady that was working the line rolled my burrito so good! I did not have to readjust the burrito while eating it. The ingredients did not even budge a little bit. Expert mode, noms, thank you.Also on a side note, the automated phone service has a minimal list of commands, so if you are attempting to call for any reason other than struggling to order food (such as phoning in a quick compliment) forget about it. Chipotle may as well not post a phone number.”
“The only reason it’s 4 starts instead of 5 is that it’s PRICEY! 2 adults and a 4 year old, and we were over $100 all-in for lunch. Two entrees, one appetizer, one kids meal, and one margarita. Super tasty tho, and amazing service and vibe. Can’t do $100+ lunches often, though ”
“I visited this place for a brunch event and enjoyed it! The food was very good and full of flavor. There was a brunch buffet with several options. I had shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles, fruit, and potatoes. Will visit again!”
“I visited Saint Louis and a family member took me to this truck…OMG, the ice cream and sorbet were both delicious!! The lady on the truck serving the ice cream was personable and friendly which explains why there was such a LONG line—-it seems like the return of the Mr. Frosty truck from my childhood, but it’s a lady! I had never heard of Scoops of Joy but now I’m looking for one in my neighborhood!”
“Tareq is a very respectful and courteous service worker. He's calm and patient and so welcoming. KUFOS to TK for an awesome job of Restaurant Service and Hospitality!!! ?? ???❤️?”
“First...loved our waiter. Very friendly and attentive. Awesome tasting margaritas. Loved the guacamole. Both our dinners were delicious....and plenty. Took home the rest. And the cost was more than reasonable. The margaritas were $6.99 a piece...very cheap and my beer was about $4.00 a piece. The entrees were under $15.00. Definitely will be back.”

“All the Italian entrees were enjoyed by everyone. The fried rigatoni appetizer was good, different, and in my opinion, just a little over fried. The sauce on the chicken marsala was a little think, more like a German gravy. The sauce still complimented the chicken well.”
“It has been many years since we have been to Sam's Steakhouse so decided to go last Saturday night. Very pleased with our visit. General Manager Mark Erney made sure everything was exceptional, Food and service was fantastic. We will return and make sure to tell friends and family.Parking: Didn't have a problem parking close to restaurant.”
“Wow I thought I'd had good food. This place puts all others to shame. I could not believe how delicious my chicken was and the butternut squash bisque. The people were so friendly and the food came out quickly.”
“Perfect venue for a special occasion or just a time you need to feel special. Thomas, our server, wore a smile as he quietly and efficiently served the three tiered trays filled with an excellent high tea assortment of sweet and savory treats. Recommending the Naughty Vicar hot tea, but there are many favor options served in individual teapots for each diner. Gift shop with teas and related novelties.”
“Ate there tonight and it was great. Josh was a great server and even cracked some jokes with my kiddo. Food came out quickly and was hot and tasted great. Thank you!”
“Delicious! Great burger and a great shake! Could not have enjoyed this meal more unless I got to somehow relive this day. 5/5, great time! Went at noon on a Tuesday and it was understandably and deservedly busy.”
“Have been here many times, never disappoints. Recently tried the French toast, which was delicious! Waiter dissappear for quite a while and had to ask someone else to get us the check but other than that, no complaints.”
“We had an amazing VIP tour of the Clydesdales stable at the actual brewery. The history, the facts and of course the beer was great. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made it fun.”
“It's the best BBQ I've ever had. The ribs were incredible, and I would do bad things in order to have that fried corn again. Do not miss out on this place!”
“Everything was delicious, but be prepared for a wait longer than what they tell you. We were told 45 minutes and got seated after an hour and 20 minutes... that's why 4 stars out of 5.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pasta”
“Grabbed some lunch here and thought the food was really good. The atmosphere feels more fancy/date night but yet there was no issue with casual attire. The service was friendly and quick. I'd return, nice selection.”
“Ted Drewes is hands down one of the best ICE CREAMS ON PLANET EARTH!! It’s a custard ice cream so it’s very creamy. They have all sorts of choices. My personal favorites are concretes. I get pistachio juice in mine which is something most people don’t know they have. I also get a strawberry shortcake ? concrete which is amazing!!! 10/10 recommend!!”
“For the first time coming here I was impressed. The server was nice and greeted us. She told us about the cupcakes and told us about the popular options. It was a nice environment and they have a nice taste in music. I will be back to get another desert!”
“Awesome location in downtown St.Louis! We stopped in for a pregame party for Arch Madness and had a great time! The drinks were ice cold, the toasted ravioli was great, and our server was fantastic! Highly recommend stopping in, we will definitely be back!”

“When a menu speaks to you, you order the whole thing. And that's what we did at Stew's (or at least 70% of it).Stew's is a new Asian-inspired restaurant in Soulard that inhabits the old Wood Shack location (next to Chava's). Since the area was in desperate need of Asian food, my friends and I were intrigued to visit. Upon entry, you are welcomed by the friendliest owner and his staff. The place is small and dimly lit with neon signs, providing an intimate, vibrant vibe - very good for a date or small group. With a group of 5 on a Friday night, it proved challenging to fit us in immediately, but the owner and his staff assured us they would make space and eventually got us all seated.Once seated, the menu called to us - EVERYTHING sounded delicious. Where else in STL can you be at a restaurant/bar that serves Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodle Soup) while pounding a Hamm's beer or Lychee Gimlet? So as one does, we ordered almost everything: The T-Pockets, Brussels, Edamame "Hummus", Pork & Shrimp Shumai, Fried Rice, Pork Burger, all three Popcorn Chicken dishes, and the Khao Soi. The food did take a while as the kitchen was slammed. But once the food came out, the flavors were presented at full force. The most notable apps/entrees were the Brussels, the Popcorn Chicken paired with the fried rice, and the T-Pockets. Each playing the salty, sweet, and umami flavors by intertwining them well. The only misses (which is truly being knit picky) I could say were that the Shumai sauce was a little under seasoned, as was the Khao Soi broth. But to have two complex dishes like those to serve still left me impressed.All I can say is, Stew's with its intricate, diverse Asian-inspired dishes, warm staff, and unique cocktails makes it a welcome addition to Soulard.”
“Perfection, perfection. Perfection! The wings are super fire. The customer service is grand du jour. Fast and efficient and Kool-Aid!!!!!!!!I ate the food so fast I couldn’t even take a picture ”
“I had lunch a Beyond Sweet and I would highly recommend you stop by for a delicious meal. The owner, Dallas, was attentive to the patrons, the ambiance was nice, the staff is diverse, and the food was delicious. This is a different vibe for STL so go out and support this restaurant.”
“My husband and I live five minutes from here, we're trying to check out more Midtown spots. I happened across this place looking for somewhere to grab a drink before a late dinner reservation, and figured we would give it a try. We were only there about 30 minutes and sat at the bar. The bartender was so nice and chit chatted with us while he made drinks. All the drinks looked fantastic and I will definitely be back for cocktails. I just had a glass of wine and my husband a local beer so nothing too crazy. But they did have natural wines which are usually hard to find any my favorite, so I was happy! Great experience and seems like a cool spot.”
“My first couple of visits were great! Food was good, service was good, etc. However, as of recently, going here feels like a disappointment. I took my sister to treat her to some boba, we got the order and not even 5 sips into the cup, AS we walked the small distance between the store and my parked car, it ran out and all that remained was ice. It is even more disappointing considering it was a children’s cup. The same happened with mine, and mine was a much larger cup. Quite literally, 75-80% of the cups were ice cubes. It feels like a waste of money when things like this occur and demotivates us from going here again, as it has happened multiple times now even with light ice requests.”

“Okay, first off: heavy metal pizza parlor? Just take my money. BUT! It isn't just a gimmick. The food is absolutely delicious! We tried the Creeping Death, Meatless Bat, the Thai Curry pizza, and one I forget the name of with pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeños. We also ordered hot wings and curry wings with a side of murder sauce. Might be the best pizza in STL, and without a doubt the best wings! Our server Alex was phenomenal. The best service I've had in a long time!Alex: stay rad, dude.Kid-friendliness: We went during lunch on Saturday and my son had a blast checking out the decor and loved the food.”
“The burgers were delicious and the fries were some of the best fries I've ever eaten! Shakes are rich and filling. Prices are reasonable as well. The cashier was very nice! Definitely a place to check out!”
“Great food and lots of different pizza options. Service is excellent. Great looking bar and tons of drink choices.Kid-friendliness: Cheese pizza uses three cheeses!”
“Great food, great service I shall return. Question: vegetarian burrito bowl, why is there an upcharge for guacamole at some restaurants? All Chipotle Restaurants please get on one accord??!!☆.This bone of contention directly effects quality of service, management, and is a determining factor in selecting Chipotle ¿ or not.”
“I have previously dined at Little Fox for dinner and drinks and I have always enjoyed it. Last weekend, I tried their brunch and it was just as good as their dinner menu. We tried multiple dishes, and they were all delightful. The Italian Benedict and Waffle & Lox were particularly amazing! The cocktails were amazing, as usual. The service was excellent, too. I highly recommend Little Fox.”
