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.

The Atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. We had their special, the chili fries. It was AMAZING! The chili was a little on the spicy side for my taste buds BUT with shredded cheese and sour cream ? it was perfect! And I LOVE their fries.As seen in my picture, we got one order and asked to split it into two. What you see on the picture is one order for only $8.We will definitely be back for more.

Cold beer and the best smashed burgers in town! The vibe is dive and the bar staff are cool, smart and friendly. Trivia night is a gas, and there's always an array of weird shit on the tubes, including sports, of course. I'm gonna swing by for some of their live music soon. Stay tuned!

Nice dive bar. Games, pool table, TV with sports and Silence of the Lambs playing. We really liked the atmosphere and the vibes of the bar. It appeared to be a 2 man show, the bartender and the cook. It took about 25 minutes after we ordered to get our food. My boyfriend thought his burger was average, not bad but not great. He also prefers skinnier fries. I love potatoes so I really liked the fries. My falafel wrap was really good, I enjoy tzatziki. We only drank water. Not sure we'll be back for the food but maybe just to enjoy a beer.

Delicious BLT and Medart smash burgers. On point fries and onions rings. We will be back for more.
Saw the reviews and had to try it. The food was great, super good, especially the fried macoroni bites, I would highly reccomend. The service was rather weird though, our food waited in the window for 8 minutes before the bartender realized it. Other than that I would reccomend, atmosphere and service was rather bland. Nice people though.

This is a hidden gem in the heart of South City.The Drawing Board is a come however you are bar with GREAT (and inexpensive) FOOD, with an amazingly friendly & attentive staff who know what they are doing.The MedArt smash burger is a St. Louis original throwback to Bill Medart's Restaurant at Clayton & Skinker from the 1940's. Your grandparents would remember it. Park dive bar part great find part you will want to make this your go to place to think, drink, have some great grub, or bring a friend!This is a 5 Star place in the truest sense of a great find! Enjoy!

Great place to hang out and play pool. The drawing board has a very welcoming environment. My son was getting hassled one night by a guy because he is gay, the owner and bartender took care of the situation right away. Great food also!

Went to Drawing Board on a nice weekday night. Dive bar vibe ... 1st timers here. It was terrific. Patio was great and the food was fantastic. It was me and my wife with our 14 y/o son who loved his burger, My BLT was outstanding and the falafel balls and fried Mac N cheese are not to be missed. Go there!!

I was shocked by how good this food was. Literally everything we ate was a 10 out of 10.
