Driving down highway 55, I had some extra time to kill so I decided to take a short detour into St. Genevieve for lunch. This was SO worth it, and if you have any free time, I recommend going. Not only is the town full of rich history and very welcoming, but the Anvil Saloon is definitely a safe and great choice for food. The atmosphere was great, it wasn't loud, and the staff were quick and kind. The food came out fairly quickly, and was amazing. I just had the bacon cheeseburger with fries, but it hit the spot perfectly. I will plan to be back in the future, as I want to explore more of the town and see all that it has to offer, and will definitely eat here again.

We stopped in on a busy fall Saturday, and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive with drinks and refills throughout lunch. The onion rings lived up to their reputation - delicious! I had French Onion soup which had a richly flavored broth and yummy melted cheese. My husband and sons all enjoyed their meals - breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, fried catfish, and breaded chicken sandwich. Rave reviews all around. I'm glad we chose The Anvil!

This restaurant has a great atmosphere. The bar dates back to the 1800's. The service was good. As an appetizer we had Onion Rings. Cooked to perfection. Likely the best onion rings I have ever had. After that things went downhill. Two of us had Pork Tenderloin. One grilled one fried. The taste on them was a little off. Another of our party had Macaroni and Cheese as a side. It was cold. The other person had liver and onions. She was not overly thrilled with those. I did chat with some folks before we ordered. They had steak that they were very happy with.

Great atmosphere, excellent service. Tender steak. Employees know about building history. Building has been around since 1800's. Original floor, ceiling, bar and shelving behind bar. Cleanest public restroom i have ever seen in my life.
Hello Dears..my husband Roger and sis Mia and I came to your restaurant today. What a gem! Lovely historic building.. attentive and informed staff.. grand food. We're going to be there again!

It is an old historic building which is well maintained. The food and service are excellent. Prices reasonable. My wife and I have been coming here from Chester for 20 years or more.

Absolutely the best Onion rings and sauce. You have to have it. It's what they are famous for but seriously. Do try it. Ask for a half a portion if you're just in 2 people because their portions are generous. We also had the cheese sticks. 🧀 we got a half of Onion and half cheese. so yummy. I also love the drinks. Everything was great and the bartenders were great.
