The menu has something for everyone and everything we ordered was well prepared and delicious our server Danny was fantastic handling a large group I will return.“

He was well versed and knew everything about every item we tasted. Incredible food. Incredible experience. You will love eating there!!!“

“Great local restaurant with excellent service and great food.“

“My wife and I ate there for the 1st time and we'll definitely be back soon! The slinger brought me back to my college days eating at Courtesy, although this place is a heck of a lot nicer! 10 out of 10 I'd recommend to anybody!!“

“Me and my husband have been here a few times and we absolutely love it. This weekend was our best experience yet. We came to celebrate our 4th anniversary and our waitress was just incredibly personable and sweet, also very attentive.She was definitely busy (as this restaurant always is) yet still went over the menu thoroughly, answered all our questions, and gave great recommendations on both food and drinks. The lamb chops that she recommended were absolutely incredible, as well as the beef tartare.Thank you so much Amber for engaging with us and making our anniversary even more special. We loved that you asked how we met and stayed to listen for so much more.Of course we will be back, but if you’re thinking of celebrating something special, this is the place for you. You won’t be rushed as the food and drinks do take some time but the quality and craft has always been consistent.“

“BEST Ribs! These are seriously some of the best ribs I have ever had. We had the Rocket Platter there were 4 of us and we left with a few ribs. The Platter included 3 sandwiches and 3 sides. The sandwiches we chose were pulled pork, burnt ends, and brisket. All the sandwiches were excellent. The sauces were good, the north Carolina BBQ sauce very authentic. The sides were BBQ beans, coleslaw and potato salad. Sides were all good, the coleslaw is very vinegar based no mayonnaise. Have I mentioned the ribs? Soo good. The owner and folks who work there are extremely friendly which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant is smaller so that might be a consideration for a larger group. They have good parking. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Such delicious food! We tried the vintage melt, original chuck-a-burger, curly fries, ORs, and the orange and rootbeer shakes. Lilly was a great server and sherpa on our first Chuck-a-Burger experience!! My mother in law has fond memories hanging out at the the one off Grand after high school back in the '60s. So happy we decided to stop by. Thanks Chuck-a-Burger !“

“Some of the best fried chicken and mashed potatoes that we've had in a while. Definitely will be coming back for more.“

“I am from out of town and googled best fried pickles in St. Louis and this place came up. What a disappointment. They were undercooked and dripping in grease. I had the gumbo next and it was great. Perfect amount of spice and great flavor. I then ended it up with a Mt Everest root beer float and it was off the chain. Unbelievable delicious.“

“Fantastic place for brunch! Everything at our table was fresh and delicious. Service was good as well! We loved the specials of the day!“

“Great homemade food. Staff are wonderful. Great place to go.“

“A friend and I came from St. Louis to meet up with some friends somewhere. When we left, we were hungry, and found ourselves here. My first time here. I loved it! My friend said there used to be a St. Louis location. Sorry I missed that and I sure wish you guys would come back that way because this place was amazing!“

“Great top notch service and food was outstanding. Affordable prices“

“10/10 experience every time from the food to the service, and we’ve tried just about everything on the menu! i recommend the main house to everyone!“

“Food satisfaction is subjective. That said, I so appreciate the value and quality I get from King Grill. I am so glad they're in my town. I suggest you call ahead. My favorite and usual order is the rib eye sandwich. What a great value!“

“Atmosphere was AMAZING !! Very friendly - child friendly ….. CLEAN !!! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️“

“We took an hour drive to go to this restaurant, the food was awesome. We both had blackened salmon with sautéed green beans, mashed potatoes, and Mac n cheese. What I noticed first was that the skin had been removed, I never eat that skin, I knew it was going to be good. This allowed the seasoning to get into the fish on both side, most places leave the skin on, and the fish would be lacking in flavor. But not at Drake's Place. This was the most flavorful salmon I've ever eaten. The green beans were good, but I would have enjoyed a little more crunch. I didn't get a picture of the desserts. We had lemon and chocolate cake that was superb. The service was great. The young man that was our server was very attentive and displayed a great attitude during our visit. We highly recommend Drake's Place.“

“Food is terrific ambience is good service excellent , cocktails are top notch the real problem is the corkage fee on wine you bring in and the sommelier is very arrogant about what wines they have ! They charge a ridiculous fee to begin with then explain to you that if the wine you bring is in there cellar your price ice for corkage higher ! He explained to me that they want to sell their wine !“

“Turkey ribs were awesome. First time having them, great with sauce or without. Smoke was excellent. Potato salad was like my grandmas. I didn’t get the turkey tips because they were out, I assume that means those are good too. This is a humble smokehouse with good people. Highly recommend.“

“seriously the best chicken i’ve ever had. this place is so severely underrated. theirs never anyone in their but i PROMISE you won’t be disappointed. the food is always fresh & hot. the service is always wonderful. everything on the menu is BOMB. fried pickles are fire, street corn is fire, fries are fire, coleslaw belongs in the trash, potato salad is fire. overall amazing place & i highly recommend to anyone in the kirkwood are wanting fresh hot juicy chicken!Parking: parking directly across the street & a parking lot on the right before you get to heaterz.Kid-friendliness: open restaurant with tables or they have outside dining on their patioWheelchair accessibility: ramp on sidewalk & plenty of space around the tables for a wheelchair“

“I could go on and on about how great the food is, but what really sets them apart is the service. Every person that I've run into appears to genuinely like working there. Just makes for an overall enjoyable experience and obvious that the owners treat them well. And the patrons benefit from that. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.“

“By far me and my husband’s favorite place to get food hands down. We have eaten here many times and i have had just about everything on the menu at this point and I have not been disappointed with a single thing. By far my favorite thing here is the ribeye dinner meal for the price it’s wonderful and extremely filling. Being open late on weekends has come in clutch many times when it’s late and don’t want to cook for myself.“

“Decent whiskey selection. Food is upscale bar food with a few dinner plate options.“

“First went in 1994... Haven't turned back since. We've lived in Olivette, Breckenridge Hills, Florissant, Creve Coeur, and finally St Peters and what do they all have in common? We've driven, regardless of how far, to get the best Chicago style dogs in the state and coming from Chicago I KNOW what a Chicago hotdog is all about and Woofies is the Real Deal!“

“Our group of hikers stopped in for lunch after our hike in Castlewood State Park. The atmosphere was quiet, yet comfortable for a Saturday afternoon. The customer service was great! Our waitress offered me samples of the chicken gumbo and roasted red pepper and Gouda soup. I went with the roasted red pepper soup and the shore dinner with the basa fish. It was so good!!! My tastebuds were extremely happy ? Definitely worth a return visit!!!“

“Excellent quality of food. Great service and nice ambiance.“

“Stopped here after going to the Science Museum when we were visiting. Probably one of the absolute best burgers we have ever had. If you’re in the area it’s 100% worth the stop.“

“Great food‼️ perfect brisket and delicious Mac and cheese.“

“The server Jelani was very nice and made my time coming back home from boot camp amazing enjoyed the drinks and watching football it was a good time“

“We came in for happy hour in the bar and had a great mix of both food and cocktails. Highly recommend the $7 purple batch cocktails on the HH menu! They were all really tasty. Food was also delicious. Highly recommend the spinach and artichoke grilled cheeseVegetarian options: Veggie options are clearly marked on the menu“

“Just found out about Timothy's restaurant and love it. The staff and food are amazing. They worked hard at wanting to please us and give us a wonderful evening. I had the dinner special being offered that was a pasta with morel mushrooms. So good. The salad I ordered was the house salad that was a variety of unique lettuces and vegetables with goat cheese and I think a buttermilk dressing. So good. There was Asiago bread on the table. We stayed late talking and while having wine with our friends, I watched the staff work setting up the tables for the next day and was impressed with their professionalism on how the table was set up with precision. Everything was lined up on its mark. Only carrying and handling the water & wine glasses at the bottom. Cloth napkins. Etc. Everything you would expect from fine dining and a five star restaurant. We had a cocktail before dinner that was a special offered by the bartender, it had fresh fruit & herbs on top, very good. The wine section was outstanding and enjoyed a couple of bottles in our group. Highly recommend this intimate place for its food, drink, service and atmosphere. Really a hidden gem. We will be telling our friends and will go back often.“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“It was such a great time! Food excellent, wine even better and the atmosphere was so awesome. Low lighting just a great vibe“

“Had a great dining experience. The server was great with her recommendations and provided top notch service. The food was amazing. The valet was friendly. The steak I ordered was delicious as well as the salad, brussel sprouts, and green beans. Overall an amazing place to dine with friends and family.“

“Advertised as "Fenton's hidden gem" and that's exactly right. They offer daily specials and these are always worth trying, but all their offerings are high quality, right down to the delectable desserts. Fast, easy to get to, plenty of seating, excellent service, charming atmosphere.“

“Me and my husband try to go to a different deli every weekend. This is, by far, the best sandwich I ever had!! (Big Litty) Unbelievable“

“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“

“My 4 year old LOVES to cook, everyone was so welcoming and helpful when we visited! Everything is always clean and organized and the food is delicious! It was nice to prep meals and provide a great learning experience all in one! My little chef and I will be back!“

“We brought a bus load of tired kids 20 minutes before closing. The crew was so accommodating, the service fast, and the food excellent! The place may not look like what you'd expect a great restaurant to be, but don't let that turn you away. This place is legit!“

“A must go for baby/bridal showers! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! Between the food and the staff they do an amazing job and create an intimate and charming event. After trying their food I will be back for dinner soon!“

“Met up with a friend today at one of my favorite brunch spots, First Watch. We went to the one located on Streets of St. Charles. Their fresh food, juices, and eclectic menu makes it so you can always try something new. They have specialties each month, and I suggest you go before the end of February and try their barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl!! Today I had the morning meditation juice and the barbacoa chilaquiles breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was a party in my mouth! The braised beef barbacoa mixed with the eggs, beans, and other seasonings. My friend opted for the Italian Inspired omelet. You can put a reservation in online prior to arrival on busy days (like Saturday). The wait was not long this morning, and the food makes the wait worth it. One thing I like about Fresh Watch is the continuity across the chain in that regardless of which restaurant you choose the food is always good and fresh. Great service. Stop in and check them out…try something new!“

“Great Service! Fantastic food! Nice atmosphere!“

“Mother's Day pre dinner. Excellent service. Great selection of wine and dinner menu offered numerous choices many gluten free which I need for celiac. Tried smoked cheddar cheese plate for first time and it did not disappoint. Best gf crackers I ever had. Service was friendly, hard working and competent. Will return.“
