50 Best Seafood Restaurants in St. Louis

“Great spot for traditional Cajun food in St. Louis. Never been a place all that concerned with the details so if you expect an attentive waitstaff or even bubbles in your club soda it's probably not for you. But the food is worth it despite the minor annoyances.“

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

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

“We had a table reserved and arrived a few minutes early. The place was packed but they immediately seated us and were very attentive.

I highly recommend!“

“Had my birthday dinner at Krab Kingz and had a great time! The food was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. Staff recommended the Cajun butter with garlic parmesan which was a big hit with the group. I only wish I had ordered more of the hush puppies because they disappeared quickly 😅 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“Good music and atmosphere..
I was solo at the bar for music, food & drink. Service was not feasible though..! Asked for menu three times, raised my hand another three times to order to catch the attention of the bartender. For the second drink, another two attempt to catch the bartender...well, is a good venue however was tiring for me...“

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

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

“ate there while helping with power company I live 4 hrs away I will defiantly make a trip just for the food“

“We came into Charlie Gitto’s on the Hill with no reservation, to celebrate my birthday. There was a short wait for seating but we got drinks and were checked on during our wait. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable with pairing drinks with food. The lobster ravioli and manicotti were delicious!! I look forward to going back in the future.“

“When I come home to St. Louis I always try to find the best tripe sandwich and I've found it at AAA Fish House.“

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

“Best Birthday Atmosphere 🎂“

“When you get stuck in an area that you have never been and know nothing or anyone. The staff at this restaurant went over and above for us, especially Michelle and one other server, I am sorry that I couldn’t see his name tag and I didn’t want to be rude. They were both super friendly and helpful and this place should be glad that they have such wonderful staff to help people out. I will definitely be back and will be glad to return to this hotel and restaurant. Thank you all for being so helpful and kind.“

“Good food, good customer service“

“The food and the entire experience were amazing! The evening was to celebrate my milestone birthday and it did not disappoint!

The bread pudding was also divine. I will definitely be returning! 🤤 🖤“

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

“All I can say is the food is bomb 💣 and she’s super fast and nice!“

“I’m glad you’re back. I love mother’s fish. I remember eating every Friday“

“Recently ate there, really by accident, we had tickets for an early performance at the Fox theater, but had no reservations. Had waited at another restaurant which was clear we would not have time to eat, and catch the performance. So we went across the street to try Gary’s. The 5 of us got right in, our waiter was fantastic, he was so talented, and great with my granddaughters. Ate a wonderful meal, everyone liked their selection. We did not have time for dessert so the waiter brought us each of us over a piece of chocolate cake with our meals.😊 we will be going back to Gary’s, because of the service and food. Please give it a try if you are in the area you won’t be disappointed.“

“outstanding! wife and i had special of Shrimp Etouffee and Fried Catfish. not overly spicy, full of flavor, worth the drive and Ted Drews just a few blocks west on Chippewa. ENJOY“

“Damn, I've eaten at this place two days in a row, first I had the cheeseburger and then the loaded baked potato with shrimp and chicken and it was so good, cooked perfectly seasoned perfectly It was the bomb. The staff is super nice super fast. I don't know why this doesn't have a five-star rating I truly don't, because the food I've had is amazing. And the prices are super reasonable so glad I tried this spot“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“Food as usual did not disappoint, however this was the first time we had Dave as a server, and the services was subpar for what we are used to at Kreis" Steakhouse. Maybe it was just a bad not, but it was continuous throughout the evening, as well as waiting on our check for 15 minutes before having to ask for it.“

“Best chicken in town like they said it was“

“Best Vietnamese food ever. Good price and great food. 10/10 highly recommend“

“the food was great, the service was great too! Maya was our waitress. when we left I forgot my purse, and I didn't realize it until the next day! went back and they had it set back for me, completely intact! great business!!“

“Let me just preface this by saying I moved here from South Texas and have spent more than my fair share of time in Old Mexico. In years of searching for REAL Mexican food in St Louis, I’ve had many disappointments. This place was absolutely fantastic and pure pleasure for an old Texan. It even made me shhh my wife because I wasn’t willing to remove my focus from the delicacy I was partaking in. Can’t recommend this place enough and haven’t been able to stop telling others about it. I’ll be a permanent fixture there for sure.“

“Dinner was delicious. I could have made a meal from the crab stuffed mushroom appetizer alone! Everyone in our party enjoyed their dinners, which were more than generous portions. We will have multiple meals from the leftovers
As a bonus, it is attached to the Drury Inn at Forest Park, so there is plenty of free parking, more than most places on The Hill.“

“Date night was amazing and the service was excellent“

“Blaire and Ava are the best bartenders I’ve ever witnessed. Wow, these unicorns.. 10 out of 5 stars!“

“Love, love, love them! I haven't been into the restaurant yet but I'm a certified "regular" on Postmates 😅 As a former sushi chef, I truly appreciate the consistent quality and presentation. It can sometimes be hard to find sushi that's made the way it deserves but they certainly do it here 🍣 ❤️ The only thing that would make it better is if they had boba tea🧋 but I can't complain! 😌“

“This review is for the bakery ONLY. Everytime we go to St. Louis, we stop here (We live at the Lake of the Ozarks). The mini custard pies are amazing, try the fried, sesame seed balls which are filled with two different kinds of bean custard, both are delicious.
The yeast buns are stuffed with a variety of sweets and cheeses and are killer. On the right side of the shop as you enter, there are usually a few versions of the Dim Sum they serve next door in the restaurant and they are all DELICIOUS!

I've purchased the Duck & the deep fried pork hanging in the window, several times & it's been legit. We buy half a duck because there's only 3 of us, but plenty. I always order a small order of their rice so we can eat our duck at the hotel.
It can be VERY crowded on the weekends, so come as soon as they open. There's usually only the one lady working the register and dude chopping up the duck & pork, but they're fast. A++++ It's not cheap but it's soooo worth it.“

“Came in exspecting hot just fine on some chicken fish gyros salad with the Chicago flavor maybe,since I am from Chicago,not only did Malik and family match the Chicago flavor swag.they made me feel like a family member coming over to have a family meal. Not at all that I feel like a customer buying a consumer product thank you Malik and family one of the things me and my fiancée was worried was eating since we are away from home for at least 30 days. On behalf of me and Amber we can rest because Chicago fish chicken and grill relies our stress love you guys Malik“

“First time here and the service, food, cleanliness, pricing, location were all excellent! Celebrated a grandson's b'day and it was perfect! I love that they give you an option for spiciness (0-5) since I'm a 0 and opted for Orange Chicken. I'll be more adventuresome next time. LOL Great restaurant all the way around!“

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

“This is the office's favorite place to get Chinese!! Food is the best, and the service is even better!!“

“Great fresh innovative food, wonderful friendly service. 95 out of 100. 5 points off because my food should have been hotter.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. The green chile pork is amazing. Meat it's fall apart tender and the flavor is full and robust. We also had the steak milenesa. It had a great crust and fork tender with great flavor. NOTHING was bad. Service matches the flavor. Food came fast, and the waitress made our dinner a great experience.

You can't go wrong here!“
