“It was a rare out of town date night for us and we chose Olive and Oak for a couple reasons. They were open late on Sunday and the menu looked amazing. From start to finish, this was a wonderful dining experience. The NA mocktails were amazing. The atmosphere is stunning. We tried several different things on the menu and were not disappointed by any of them. Our server, Jordan, was fantastic. My boyfriend is a restaurant owner/chef in Columbia and to watch him truly enjoy every bit of that meal made my heart happy as well. We will absolutely be back. Many times:)“

“This is where I always meet my grandson for lunch. We love the walleye platter. The breading is very light, and the portion is generous, allowing you to eat every bit of it. The sides are delicious, too. We love the atmosphere, service, prices, and portions. \nI've taken several friends there for lunch, and they are happy to meet me there again anytime. My grandson is an accomplished fisherman, and that makes our experience all the more enjoyable. We love the fish offerings, but the menu is extensive. We highly recommend and enjoy Yellowstone Cafe.“

“A Hidden Gem in St. Louis!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I were visiting for an event when we heard about this spot from some friendly folks at the airport—and wow, what a recommendation! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy, cute, and creatively inviting, setting the perfect tone for an amazing experience. THE FOOD? Absolutely incredible. We ordered enough to last the weekend, and let me tell you—those Brisket Burnt Ends & The Brisket Burger somehow tasted even better the next day! The potato skins were delicious too, packed with flavor. What really stood out was that this place isn't just for vegans—it's for anyone who loves great food and stellar service! If we’re ever back in St. Louis, we’re coming straight here without a doubt. Highly recommend! #StLouisEats #FoodieFind #HighlyRecommended #BrisketBurntEnds #VeganOrNotYoullLoveIt“

“UPDATE:
I spoke with Glen today and he made it right. He showed he genuinely cares about his customers. For that, I thank him and will be trying Flower Child again, and see how that goes.

Original Review:
I have ordered from here and went in person numerous times over the past year. In the last 3 months, it has really gone downhill. The last 2 times I went in person, the sweet potato fries were not able to be given to us because they said there was a 30 minute delay. They gave us macaroni instead which was nice, and promised a refund that I never received. Then, the last 3 doordashes the fries were hard, burnt, and inedible. It's a shame because I pay good money to eat healthier options at lunch, especially with my gallbladder being removed, so I can not worry about flare ups and feel confident that I can continue my work day, by eating healthier options, and not getting sick. This used to be my favorite place but I'm disheartened now. 😔 I wish it would let me upload the pics.“

“My husband and I enjoy dining at Mariposa. We do so often. Both alone or with family and friends we are never disappointed. It's been surprising to me how many people don't know about the restaurant. It's been fun to introduce people to Mariposa for their first visit. Chef does a masterful job of making sure that menu's selections are delicious, and served with a nice presentation. The staff is very dedicated that guests enjoy their meals. We hope your experience is as positive as ours.“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“We love this place!!! We frequently visit Hesslers and most recently had our wedding reception there. We always have the best service and friendly staff. Great food, and awesome atmosphere!!“

“Annie Gunn's is an exceptional eatery. The moment you walk in until you walk out you know you are their focus. The servers are exceptional. The food comes out timely and hot or cold depending on what you order. The food is fresh and fabulous. I live in Naples Florida and am accustom to fresh grouper prepared well. Annie Gunn's is as fresh and tasty as any I have had in Southwest Florida. While you may look at prices as being above average, well so is the service the food and the atmosphere. I dare you to eat it all as the size of the dish is enough for two meals, one onsite and one at home. And just to make sure your experience was outstanding a manager stops by to ask for your approval. Ryan was the management guy checking our table and showed genuine interest in our complete satisfaction. Try it you love it and she will love you for taking her there!!“

“My family and I came from out of town to take the kids to the zoo and found this place looking online for something we didn’t have back home and this was a fantastic experience very friendly people all around! Kids menu was perfect and all our food was brought to us amazing!! Hot fresh and just simply so good!!! If we get to come back and visit I would definitely come to eat here again!!!“

“I don't know if the chocolate shake recipe changed or not but what I got was almost frozen chocolate milk. I took it back in and was told that's the shake. Hope not, they used be thick and creamy that was like a protein powder shake or Nesquick. I'll remember not to complain too, jeez 😒“

“Our waitress Park was absolutely amazing. Delicious food per usual. An amazing experience!!“

“Best salad I've EVER had! Friendly staff. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“Super soft bread. Garlic pepper bread is really tasty.“

“Excellent wings. Great service and very friendly and welcoming staff. Great pictures of the different rock groups“

“A comfy atmosphere with great food and fast service.“

“The music and atmosphere makes this a fun lil spot for rock n roll lovers Service was exceptional. Our server was quick, witty, and very outgoing. We never had a bad thing off their menu the few times we've visited. Absolutely love their brussle sprouts but at 15.00 I can only assume Gene priced these out.“

“50th Anniversary for my in-laws. Space was very clean when we went to set up and they had just done another event that morning. Staff was super helpful while we were getting the place ready. Everything was ready when we got there and staff was friendly and even helped us with music and cutting and plating the cake.“

“Super clean, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent, the meatloaf was a little burnt on the edges but still delicious. The fried apples were amazing“

“I had the best Italian shrimp ever! I shared a few with family and all declared it to be the best ever too! And that’s the truth.“

“My son and I had lunch there yesterday. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious! I’m 73 years old, and I had the best steak (prepared to perfection), that I’ve ever had in my life! The manager stopped by our table and asked how everything was. After I told her, she immediately went back to tell the chef about the praise. And, the manager was so very “down to earth “, and just as sweet as can be. You all are doing a great job! Just keep doing what you’re doing! I’ll be back, every time I drive through!“

“First time guests to this restaurant. 2 weeks ago we decided to try it and were extremely pleased!!! Ordered the wings and 3 different salads. The food was great ? and the price was very reasonable! Definitely plan on going back.“

“waited 15 minutes after being seated while wait staff just ignored us. we finally asked the hostess if we could place our order. a waiter came out finally, no apology for our wait. we placed.our order the he never came back. we waited 15 minutes after ordering and never got our beverages. it wasn't super crowded, only the patio was full. it's a shame because they do have good food but I will not be returning. Do not recommend if you ever want to eat. I have never walked out of a restaurant like that in my 42 years. it was terrible“

“Friendly staff, quick service, great food“
