44 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!“

“Great food, great people, great atmosphere.“

“Fantastic people! Great food.“

“If I could give more stars for service I would. I was angry when I came and the bartender sprayed me with water and told me to cool off which I surprisingly did. She was a ray of sunshine. I think she was Hispanic, her name was Lexi. I had a great time. Will be back again for sure.“

“We were lucky to run into this place. The menu looks amazing it was hard to choose from. We came with 6 and everyone was satisfied with their meal. I personally recommend the Lou Chick and Peppercorn Chicken Sandwich. Fries, wings and chips were great too. I would also recommend this place to anyone coming from the Botanical Garden nearby. 10/10 spot!!“

“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.“

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

“Great staff and great food!!!“

“The burgers are really good.“

“everyone was so nice!! will definitely be back“

“Very comfortable atmosphere great food very friendly“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is always amazing with the best service. We have never been disappointed!!“

“Stayed in Air BnB across the street awhile back for the wwe Royal Rumble. My brother and I ate here everyday, drank here at night. Laid back atmosphere. I wanted to purchase a shirt and they didn’t have my size, owner went out of his way to go dig and find me one. 10/10 recommend.“

“This is my favorite place to go for game days, and the food is always amazing! Great staff and the venue is perfect for groups. I recommend this place to all of my friends coming from out of town :)“

“The best pizza in town.🥳“

“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.“

“Just a small issue with the food, still very good and you can tell it’s hand made. Onion ring had a bit of dry batter still in the middle. Smash burger patties are not as big as we’re used to but for the price are still good, didn’t quite fill the entire bun but had a good flavor. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Service was great and the bar pour taps/set up looks awesome.“

“Outstanding service, great food. Be patient tho it's a small kitchen and large groups can slow them down. So enjoy your time and don't expect to be in and out in a busy day. But other than that this is a great spot for the lake and stays busy.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Nice“

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

“Neighborhood spot. Good Drinks. They have two bars. I have hosted political functions here and birthday parties. John and his wife have refreshed the decor and it's nice. 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.“

“I forgot to take a picture of the stuffed mushrooms I got for our group, which everyone loved! I had the dry rub wings for my dinner and had to bring half home. The wings were delicious, I think they added cinnamon to the rub. I highly recommend them!“

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

“The food is DELICIOUS and seasoned well.I love to call my order in and it's always ready when you walk in❤️👌“

“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. 😂“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 👌🏾“

“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!“

“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 ...“

“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“

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

“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“

“Great place to gather with friends!“

“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.“

“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.“
