50 Best Bar & Grill in St. Louis

“I’ve ignored this place over the decades, assuming it was a typical dive bar. A friend assured me the food was great and I should try it. Understatement! Believe it or not I’m a hypercritical person but I could find no fault at Michael’s. During both of my visits, everything everyone ordered was cooked and seasoned beautifully. So far I can highly recommend the Greek salad (standout among the large number of Greek salads I’ve tried), the rack of lamb and the galaktoboureko - a house-made dessert consisting mainly of a fluffy custard and phyllo dough. Even the side vegetables and rice were wonderful. The beer and wine selection was good as well and I wrote down my wine to look into buying a bottle. The many servers were extremely busy and professional and our server Amy did a helluva job. Large rack of lamb with sides, entree-sized Greek salad, two beers, wine and dessert for only $80 -which for the quality of our dinner was quite a bargain. Generic name belies quality cooking and serving! Pass it on!“

“Fantastic people! Great food.“

“Great food, great people, great atmosphere.“

“I drive past this place a lot and never paid it any attention. My friend and I wanted some frozen drinks and food. When I say this place was a pleasant surprise. From the security to the ladies working at the bar we felt cared for. Even the other patrons were really nice. You can tell they are regulars there and we enjoyed that. The drinks were A1 in taste and buzz level. The only “issue” I had was the menu I read about online wasn’t as extensive. I had my heart set on something I didn’t see in person but that’s not a dealbreaker. They will see us again.“

“Chef Sabrina deserves ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. My Dinner..Lobster stuffed Rainbow Trout, Charbroiled Oysters, Mac & Cheese & Loaded Sweet Potato Tots all cooked to perfection!“

“This is the ultimate "Cheers" bar on the Northwest side of the STL. Cheers in the sense that patrons are friendly, and so is management. You feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. Drinks carefully poured and excellent bar food , make for a lively Happy Hour. Highly recommended for 35 and aboveTalking OGs and grownfolks. See you there.“

“I've been going here for years, and the food is low-key underrated. I had the beef Philly for the first time, and it was dang good! I'd had the chicken Philly before, which is great too, but the bartender recommended trying the beef, and it was a good call! Get you a side of cheese sauce with the fries, and oh, it is in the game!“

“my husband and I checked out JCs - hands down the friendliest bar staff in town and great wings! karaoke on Friday is so fun and it feels like a family-like atmosphere where everyone is so friendly. there is pool and no charge to play!! we will be back!“

Too much Sauce - chicken and etc. Restaurant connected to them. Eat Up!Check out their calendar, they have 2 step nights, poetry slams, karaoke. Etc.“

“Everyone was very nice and worked hard to make our group at home and the food was very good!“

“T is a wonderful and attentive bar tender. She greeted myself and my crew upon arriving, and she made sure that we were good throughout our visit. She was very nice and cool and her knowledge of drinks and the food menu was great. She has a wonderful spirit and she made our time at the bistro a blast. The food was wonderful and the venue itself was very clean and well kept. The food is consistently good, which is a plus and I always have such a good time when I come.“

“One of the best bar's and grill in stl great food drinks and bartender“

“The food was good hot and presentation was nice.
It was hot as fire on the patio and finally manager did put N industrial fan out there.
Because of staff shortage expect a longer than usual wait for your order

Parking: Parking is not so good unless you come early“

“The food was delicious, the sidewalk seating was open, the bartender was fabulous.“

“The place is not operating or even open, l arrived today June 5,2023 ....was hoping to enjoy the place.....as it was very good 20 years ago.....now that I am back in town to live, I do hope this special place will open soon.....as I just live about 12 doors away. Regards“

“The burgers are really good.“

“A good place to have any kind of party. They have the space, good vibes, & them drinks get you right....“

“Seamus is always our go to place to take our 3 young kids. They even have newly updated kids menus that have plenty of kid aproved foods and come with drinks! The patio is perfect on a nice day. The buffalo chicken sandwich is gigantic and delicious and the ranch it comes with is worth the price alone- SO good! Their burgers are huge and really good as well. The servers are always nice and attentive and the beers are always cold.“

“Great dj , very secure policeman on deck!! Music 🎶 always on point!! The owner and staff make u feel like family!! Bartenders are the best!! 5 stars ...“

“Best food, Best drinks, beautiful women all around from the owners to the bartenders and hookah women! Great vibes! Ask for Chef Brown!“

“Very comfortable atmosphere great food very friendly“

“The bartender wasn't in when I arrived. No DJ, only in the weekends. Cool place to play darts or watch the game. When the bartender did arrive her service was horrible. Never did she smile or thank you. The pasta was pretty good coming from a bar.??‍♀️???“

“The food was so-so at the Soho!
However, they are soon to redeem that with a new menu just days away. Meanwhile do not get the fried goat chese medallions and assume there is ANY meat like we did by the name 'medallions' [really our mistake bc no where on that expensive appetizer 'medalion' listing did it say beef anything !
The waitress we had seemed rushed like she had too many tables to attend to. Terrace seating was nice overall a little pricey for quality.“

“Love Ds Place the food is great and always adding things the selection is also always growing the owner really cares and it shows.“

“Great dive bar with outdoor patio. Bartenders are friendly and welcoming. The burgers are to die for and they have fantastic daily specials. It's definitely a hidden gem! I hesitated writing this review because I don't want it to get to busy. 😂“

“The hubby and I have been 3 times now, and it gets better every time. The service was great, and we did not have to wait long for our drinks or food. If you like flavor, I suggest you try the Thai Chicken pizza! OMGGGGGGOSH and it's enough to share. The buffalo wings were good with plenty of sauce. We also tried the Cobb Salad which was also plenty to share. The popcorn with REAL butter is a MUST! Great date night 👌🏾“

“Wife and I decided to hit the easy button after walking nine holes and grab lunch at Ruthie’s. Had been years since I’d eaten there, and certainly delivered! Sat on the patio overlooking the 9th hole, and bartender came to take our drink and food orders. Had the 2nd Shift Brooligan, which was a great IPA. We split a toasted ravioli app and the Crush Burger. Ravs we’re good, burger was absolute fire. Fries were hot and crispy, the way they should be!

Vegetarian options: They have a Black bean burger for the veggie in your life.“

“Crazy awesome and fairly secretive spot - a former German restaurant turned Mexican restaurant turned 70's wood paneled rec room with some of the wildest experimental music shows in town. If they are serving food the street tacos are great but the Al Pastor burrito is a true hidden gem in St. Louis. Don't miss out on this spot when its open for its limited hours!“

“Right on the lake, with patio and inside seating. The food was good, but got great service. Staff saw I had a Notre Dame shirt on and switched the channel on the patio TV to the Notre Dame football game for me.
Plenty of choices in wraps, burgers and sandwiches. Kids menu available.
Diablo burger ws OK. Kids enjoyed chicken strips and Quesadilla.“

“Food was great . I had special requests and my server Brandi was awesome! I’ll make sure to sit in her section again!“

“We went there as out of towners from Indiana. We had the strip steak sandwich, with waffle fries . It was Great! Nice atmosphere , the food was really good. It was a full house , our waitress Grace was busting butt and still gave us great service. The staff was really nice. We asked for a table , then changed our minds and wanted a booth instead, and the staff still was really nice about it. I give 5 stars.“

“The food was great but now it's okay..The first time I went there, my cousin and I had an awesome time, and the food was on point.Now they have a different cook there and not many Selection to make when it comes to food. All he has are chicken and fries? Most of the time, he never had fish. It's sometimes shrimp.“

“This is the place to be on Any giving Sat , yet you better get there early doors open up at 5 by 530 the place is PACK , food is delicious Drinks 2/ one ...you may walk in Tall but you leaving leaning to the right Drinks 2/ one. 5-7 ...DJ be hitting it hard from ole school blues R&B the Heavy D n boyz Rap. Kudos to the Twins for keeping their father business going“

“Wow!! What a great experience! We stopped here to grab a late dinner after an exhausting fun filled day. The food was fantastic! Highly recommend the Reuben or the meatloaf sandwich. Frozen Irish coffee was so good and the hot Irish coffee strong but very good. Employees were super nice. Bathrooms super clean. We highly recommend and when we come back to St Louis, we will be back!“

“I had my birthday party here. It was awesome! Loved the patio and the owner let us Bluetooth MY playlist to the speakers!?Food was delicous. My guests ALL said they enjoyed everything! I most definitely WILL be returning.“

“Marcus pours the best beer this side of the Mississippi!!!!!!!“

“Great service and delightful food. We asked for a recommendation for an Irish whiskey to sip and were not at all disappointed. May need to buy a bottle of what we tried. Everyone here is so welcoming.“

“fun spot. always treated good and have a good time.“

“You get 5 stars because of the daytime/night time bartender Ashley. Seems like she's the reason people come in this place that badly needs an identity. I stopped by late afternoon on a Tuesday and the bar was full with people that seemed like they have known her for years. Pretty impressive for a bar and grill that lingers on the Lemay border. Apparently they are under new management and he must be a retired Wal-Mart greeter because he hobbles around looking like he is ready to finish the meals people don't eat. Had the happy hour tacos which were unbeatable. Apparently they are the long time creation of a 20 year employee. I'll be back because in a day where service at a bar is hit or miss, this lady was on point with a bunch of high maintenance old men who play Keno, do shots and constantly complain about the TVs. Couldn't imagine someone else putting up with that.“

“Great store to shop at!!!“

“Ribeye was amazing! My wife said her burger was one of the best she's had in a long time! Prompt service. 10/10“
