“Russell’s on Macklin is such a staple. It has a cozy and relaxed ambiance with a fireplace offering locally sourced American cuisine.Located in the Southampton neighborhood of St. Louis, it’s a family-run restaurant that prides itself on warm hospitality and mouthwatering dishes reminiscent of home-cooked meals.From their homestyle cooking to freshly baked goods, Russell’s on Macklin caters to both the brunch & dinner crowds. The menu features elevated versions of classic American favorites, highlighting the best seasonal ingredients available.I had the broccolini salad and lump crab cake. Both were delicious. I also shared in the cheeseboard.Don't forget to indulge in their tempting gooey butter cake.“
“This place is one of a kind and AMAZING!!! The staff was great! The ice cream delicious. The atmosphere welcoming. The 'show' was super cool to watch! Definitely a must visit on your trip to town. Each order is made to order. Flash freeze and then serve. Have 21+ an older ice cream. Waffle cones are delicious. Nice size servings. Street parking. Outdoor eating area. ?“
“Stacked STL Never disappoints!! We drive 30 min to get the best burger!! En Fuego is my favorite and my husband always gets the special! NO ONE has a better Caesar salad!!!! Last time I had the black bean burger for the first time…..wow….now I’ll be having a hard time picking!“
“So I used to live next door to this place.I had a fiance who was up to no good and pocketing the rent.When our antique row fairy tale ended they bought our building and expected me to pay some undisclosed amount of back rent (pay the rent again sucker! Yeah.sure.)instead of communicating what was going on from the beginning.I now still am unsure what I supposedly owe or how it affected my credit but I basically can't rent anywhere.Fun stuff.Anyway the hipster staff is snarky snobby and rude, but its comical to observe and that absolutely is part of its charm.Its a show.100% The coffee is THE BEST coffee I have ever had.I don't know what it is about it but man...it is VERY good.Amazing.The food is also amazing.Its an adorable place.I am embarassed to go there though I should simply be pturbed but yeah.I never have the money to go out for fancy coffee anyway but yeah...its good.Very good.“
“My husband and I had visited family at SLU hospital and were in the mood for Italian food. Found this restaurant on Google and am so happy we did! Wonderful food, great service and a great atmosphere. This will certainly be our to go to restaurant from now on!“
“I would put myself in debt to eat this food, It's so incredible the head chef is brilliant, and the staff from the front of the house to the back make the entire experience a joy. the wild boar and polenta is writing home about worthy, and the tirimisu makes me emotional... the pizza is literally the only pizza in st louis worth eating and I'm from Chicago so I feel like my opinion is extra valid lol. there are a ton of "fancy restaurants" in St. Louis but table cloths and wine selection don't mean crap when the menu of a reasonably priced pizza joint makes your food look like McDonald's by comparison.“
“This restaurant is one of my favorites. Not only do they serve regular food, but they serve some of the best desserts I've ever tasted. When I tasted the desserts, I couldn't believe they were vegan. My favorite was the sweet potato cupcake. It was so delicious. The service was a little slow but they were pretty busy.“
“This was a night out with my brothers and friends. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The drinks were okay. The bloody mary was simple, not much zing to the taste. It was kind of bland. Our server was polite and friendly. We were treated to vocals from retired football tight end Jackie Smith. He sounded great that night. A nice place for dinner or just cocktails after donner.“
“I made a lunch reservation online for my mom's birthday about a week in advance, they made sure to accommodate all special requests that were submitted along with it. The hostess and our waiter both wished her a happy birthday upon greeting us and sat us in from of the window as previously requested. We ordered crispy Brussels sprouts and a couple sandwiches to share. Everything was served in a timely manner, courses were spread evenly apart. The atmosphere is light, open and spacious. I absolutely love the floor to ceiling windows and all the natural light. We had a great time and they gave us a complementary birthday treat. Our waiter made a point to ask if we were members of the museum and applied our membership discount to our bill. I thought that was extremely kind of him especially because I did not realize that was a perk and wouldn't have known to ask. 10/10“
“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.“
“we came for brunch from out of town. I made a reservation and I definitely recommend doing so, I'm vegan and my guest is omi but both of us loved the meal. I had a delicious latte and the chorizo dish while my guest had the big breakfast. The service was great and everything was wonderful about our meal. Definitely want to return and try dinner!“
“If you're looking for authentic, this is the place. The service as you enter is welcoming and the ambiance gives you local hometown feels. The calamari was very flavorful and the food was so good. I got the Zitti con Vodka. So flavorful and enjoyed every bite. I had to try the tiramisu and was glad i I did. Oh n so good!“
“I've never had Indian before so my daughter and I had no idea what we'd like, but the staff was super courteous and gave us stellar suggestions that we ended up loving! I got the chicken Tikka Masala and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, and everything was gluten free! We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian friendly!Dietary restrictions: Definitely gluten free friendly!“
“We have been using AofE for many years now for our office lunches. Our order has been correct every single time! It is always fresh and delicious!

Staff is always friendly and professional! The owner Ann is amazing to work with! Thank you!“

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
“Very high quality frozen yogurt. Self serve machines allow for creativity and fun. The atmosphere is tight, but it is well decorated and activity filled. The weigh system for pricing bowls is unique. The cost becomes higher than expected with that system. The unique shop is a delicious and great spot in St. Louis!“
“This place was so much fun to eat at. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. The server was helpful and made sure we were well taken care of. The desserts here are massive, so be prepared for that. The bottled drinks were amazing. We tried quite a few of them. Highly recommend this place!“
“AMAZING Best new restaurant of the year Finally I went to a place where the staff was friendly and nice. Don't miss out on the incredible green soup Or the ice cream Both off the charts awesome The salads could not be any fresher Good luck deciding which one to order. Thank you for opening the best salad restaurant in St. Louis“
“Had their weekend buffet. Delicious food for a very reasonable buffet price. Go and see for yourself. Not sure how much the buffet changes, but some dishes that were present (but not all of them):Tandoori chicken, chicken korma, Tikka, chicken bulgogi, spag paneer, they had several vegetarian and GF options.Milk tea was great.“
“This was my first time eating here and let me tell you , the food was amazing and the service so kind and friendly. We went for lunch and the lunch prices are so reasonable. You get a starter , entree and beverage all for $13.95. Can’t beat that! I am already planning on going back this weekend. Highly recommended!“
“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 ?“
“Ashley baked our daughter’s wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! The consensus of many guests was that it was the best wedding cake they’ve ever had! The tier cake was almond raspberry and we had 2 kitchen cakes- chocolate hazelnut and spice. All wonderful. I highly recommend getting cakes from Ashley.“
“The food was below par but everything else was great. I got a table right away and was served by Kaitlyn. If you are able to request being in her section, do it! I was never worried about waiting to oder and when I did, my drink came very soon after. I got the garlic French dip and I think it's over priced for how little good lean meat you get. A few bites had too chewy of fat. Half of the homemade chips were crispy so that was nice, but I would've loved every chip to be able to break in half and not bend.Still, you should go and give this place a shot!“
“If I could give a 10/5 for customer service, I would do so! I ordered 4 bundlets for pickup about 24 hours ahead of time, with the seasonal flavor in my order. Unfortunately when I arrived, I was told they were out. I expressed my frustration since I made this order, specifically for the seasonal flavor (and how much I loved it when I had it a few years back). The woman at the counter tried to find a resolution and after checking in back, was able to give me a dozen bundtinis instead! It was such a relief and definitely above and beyond! I will be back (even though I don’t live that close)!“
“I had a great experience here. This was my first time here. Kelly was so knowledgeable about the menu and she has some great recommendations. Very nice atmosphere! The food was very good. We had calamari, salmon and the BLT (lobster) sandwich with strawberry sangrias. I would definitely recommend!“
“Creamy, smooth, rich. Oh my gosh. Best cheesecake of my life. I wish I could try every single slice. My boyfriend and I had key lime and dark chocolate raspberry, and we fell in love with this place at first bite Also the workers were very kind!“
“We just happened to find this place over the weekend on my Birthday. Let's just say we will return every time we are in town. The atmosphere was amazing, the owners, workers, and customers were all just like a big family! I highly recommend swinging in for 1 or 12 great drinks!“
“We love El Chico so much! We asked them if they would provide cookies for our wedding (after a different dessert vendor stopped responding to us), and we are honestly so happy we ended up with them! El Chico was so easy to work with, so kind, and so helpful. We already knew their baked goods were delicious (we always stop for some cookies at the Tower Grove Farmer's Market), but our guests raved about the empanadas. I couldn't recommend them enough - whether it's an order for an event or just stopping in and grabbing some treats while you're on Cherokee! (photo is by Rachel Myers Photography)“
“Great place for dining for any occasion. Certainly doesn't pinch your pocket as the pricing is reasonable. Love their concept and the spread. It also minimises waste the of resources as we get to choose the food. Excellent customer service. Their booth seating could be redone as they are not that comfortable.“
“Great Service and Food at Frida'sWe had a really good time at Frida's, and a lot of it was because of our waitress, Elyse. She was super friendly and really knew her stuff. She told us to try the fish sandwich with striped bass, and wow, she was right. It was amazing.The fish itself was cooked just right, and it came with this tasty Cajun slaw and remoulade sauce that made it even better. It's like Elyse knew exactly what we'd enjoy. Eating that sandwich was the best part of our meal.Having Elyse help us out made our lunch way more enjoyable. She was more than just someone bringing us our food; she made our whole lunch better with her great recommendation. We can't wait to go back to Frida's and hopefully get some more great suggestions from Elyse.“
“First time in Neon Banana and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. I love that the all natural ingredients leave you feeling good and energized. The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and made great recommendations to fit my needs. I loved the Neon Banana smoothie and the cookie dough protein balls. It was a fabulous experience from beginning to end.“
“Very efficient ordering system. The line is to go to the counter and order your meal. Once you’ve ordered, you will be seated and your meal will be brought your table.Food quality was excellent. We enjoyed a novel quiche , and a large portion of avocado toast.The desserts are on display as you are waiting to order, and we were tempted by a chocolate caramel pastry with a nut crust.Parking is easy, and prices are reasonable.“
“Our team had an exceptional experience at Cake Fusion. We chose this activity for our law firm's volunteer group, Holland Helping Hands, to have some fun in light of our annual team bonding day, and it was fantastic! We would highly recommend this wonderful, woman-owned business and will certainly be back. Thank you for curating such a pleasant and special experience for us!“
“The food here is memorable! I love the ultimate egg Benedict gluten-free bread. The coffee was good, the vibes were warm. I gave service a 4 because a glass of water was forgotten and we had to change someone down for coffee. But they were kind about it and responded quickly. Maybe just need to check in with customers a tab bit more.“
“Small coffee shop in a pretty part of town. It's worth getting a cup and walking the park in the morning. The lattes were very good. Tried the gooey butter cake. It was a bit thin, but didn't feel as overwhelming as other versions.“
“Strolling through the downtown and stumbled upon this sandwich shop. It may or may not be a chain, but it was great! They had lots of vegetarian options and the sandwiches were big enough to split for 2 meals. Dine in and take out options available. All indoor seating. Had chips and a drink with the sandwich and they even had warm cookies, haven't had a snickerdoodle in years. Thanks for the great meal.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are not hidden and don't require substitutions. The veggie subs were really good too.Dietary restrictions: Multiple vegetarian optionsParking: Parking available near by. Some paid and some free.Kid-friendliness: Small restaurant, kids food available.Wheelchair accessibility: Single story, no steps to enter business, wheelchair accessible.“
“I had a wonderful time at this spot with some friends! The worker, Rick, was extremely friendly and laid back. He allowed us to try 8 different brews that were all delicious. He also gave us a tour of the fermentation room. If you enjoy Kombucha, please check them out!“
“Great idea. I can't have too much sweet so I can make a small amount for myself. Good tasting. The reason only one star for the service is because I'm the service person. ?. That being the idea of the place. They weigh it and only charge per pound.“
“Ocha Thai is part of my regular rotation with Uber Eats delivery. The pad Thai, yellow curry, and udon noodles are all amazing. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. I will miss this spot when I leave St. Louis.“
“Urban Eats Food Hall! What a spot with a great story! This spot proves the commitment to urban revitalization! It’s got a long story since 2005! It’s been through the 2008 recession and it’s been through Covid!It all started with the purchase of the Liermann building in 2005. The goal was to create a thriving business and uplift the surrounding community through initiatives like the Downtown Dutchtown Business Association.From 2008 to 2020, this spot functioned as a café, opening other restaurants around the community and then quickly pivoting to a shared kitchen and marketplace in 2020 due to Covid. Today, it’s a spot for local entrepreneurs and independent food businesses to get their start with proper resources! There are several restaurants in this shared space. I personally like going to every restaurant and just getting a taste of each.It’s a wonderful place to support. There’s something for everyone.“
“The Chicago deep dish was recommended to me, so I ordered for take out. It was SO delicious that I ordered it again the next night along with some extras and everything was perfection. This is the deep dish pizza that I have been looking for for years. Now I have my co-workers and my family all stuck on it. Great food at reasonable prices Highly 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.“
