“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

“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.“

FB kept making suggestions about his place and glad they did!!Today we enjoyed their $13.99 Sunday Special Chicken fried Chicken… F’ing Delicious!! Sorry but that adjective best describes the meal. Freshly hand breaded chicken cooked perfectly. Real mashed potatoes and a white gravy the cook should be proud of..Try this place… you won’t be disappointed!!Ice cold Beer is served in a Cold glass… they do it right!!Anyway“

“Ashley Shucks(#1) was the best waitress I’ve had. She was quick, very nice and outgoing and would definitely recommend her when coming to Fitz’sParking: Park behind the restaurant. It’s definitely enough parking and very spacious. Also it’s free so it worth parking behind the restaurant and not on the street“

“Such great food but our server made the experience!! Thank you Bryan Humphrey for the wine recommendation and food! The goat cheese stuffed dates was the perfect end to a perfect night!“

“i got the potato bowl with all the toppings & chicken. it was BOMB. i put sour cream in it and some ranch.the chicken tenders and nuggets were really tough and hard to eat for my kids.my husband got loaded fries and it was good but mediocre like something you'd get at a high school baseball game lol.the onion rings are fire but the fried pickles were not good!!They gave a lot of sauces which was cool af!“

“Our waitress was friendly but a bit overworked. The Italian Wedding soup was horrible. No flavor, no Italian sausage and full of barley. The roast beef sandwich was good but had wilted greens on it and we didn’t like that. The ham and cheese sandwich was good. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.“

“Cobalt is a very unique experience. The drinks were incredible. You can tell they put a lot of care in the development of the cocktails. The food was really good, but what I loved the most is that she allowed us to go at our own pace. We never felt rushed. We will definitely be going back.“

“Great atmosphere with fast and professional service.Went for brunch and the food came out very quickly. Almost too quickly, in fact. Leads me to believe everything I ate was made in advance and had been sitting around. The waffles were completely cold and soggy and the chicken lost all of its crispiness. The chicken itself was high quality, though. Wish it had been made to order.6.3/10 Clucks. Potential for much higher if it was fresh.“

“Found this Bob Evans top knotch! Came in one hour before close for dinner, and our server was prompt and gave wonderful service. Food was delicious! Was happy to be going through Vally Park and found yet another outstanding, reliable experience.“

“Great hamburger and fies. The service was top notch! Great place and layout with great music and a great band. The Stonewheel Band played as we ate and provided great music the rest of the evening. Prices are more than reasonable considering the high quality if the food they serve and the portions.“

“Breakfast is outstanding. Portion sizes are excellent. Coffee is very good. It’s become a weekly stop for us every Wednesday.Dietary restrictions: They do NOT add too much salt to their food. So many places seem to equate salt with flavor. This place does not.“

“Just finished dinner and it was great. Our waitress was wonderful as was the bus boy. I had the bacon lettuce & tomato sandwich with fries and a cup of their wonderful potato soup. Wish I had gotten the bowl it was so good. I'll know better next time to get the bowl. Plus we shared an order of potato skins which were also very good. Highly recommed their food and service.“

“My company, MARIS, held a dinner four our retiring CEO on Friday evening and it was absolutely wonderful! I worked with Jade in planning the event and she was very responsive and helpful. She and Jasmin took care of all the attendees and provided superb service. Our food was excellent and the room was set just as planned. I would highly recommend Bishop’s Post for your next event. They will not disappoint. Thank you Jade, Jasmin, and staff for making our party a success!“

“Great Philly Cheesesteak and Onion Rings hot off the grill.“

“Great burgers and hot wings. Monday night fried chicken dinners are delicious“

“I've been told about Parkside Grille for a couple of years now by several people and we finally made it out on a Friday night. I'm pretty upset at myself for waiting so long after my first experience. Everything I had was 10/10! From the BBQ rib plate special that came with pulled pork and andouille sausage along with fantastic sides of homemade potato salad, slaw, and baked beans to the well-crafted old fashioned cocktail. Service was fantastic and live music was perfect for a Friday night out. Parkside is a neighborhood gem and I cannot wait to get back.“

“Natalya T was our server, and did an excellent job . She was very friendly , and anticipated what we would need. Excellent!“

“My parents live in Kirkwood, so we've been coming here for breakfast for years. The service is always awesome and the food is consistently good. A caveat of this is that there's almost always a line/wait, but with quality like you find here.... that's just another indicator to us that it's really worth it. Cute place too! We love it!“

“Food tasty, service was attentive and the prices were manageable. A nice neighborhood bar for a meal. Our waitress was exceptionally nice and met our every request with a smile. She was really busy and seemed happy. There were two other waitresses who seemed a lot on edge. There were two bus boys who helped during the evening. All in all a fun experience.“

“The smokehouse nachos were excellent the ribs were perfect. My grandson didnt care for the pizza, i had the bbq pulled pork sandwich. Not a fan. The sweet potato fries were hard. Our server Casey was wonderful. I'll give it a second try but my first time was disappointing. Everything was fantastic!“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“Place is always popping on a weekend morning but they offer a waiting list online to put your name in to help shorten your overall time. Food is always amazing and we love the coffee refills! Everything is decently priced and even when it's crowded you get your food pretty quickly. First watch never disappoints “

“Don’t worry about new places popping up claiming to do what you do! You do it better! Still the best donuts in St. Louis bar none! Keep it up!“

“It was a little bit busy when I came here after visiting Six Flags. We ordered ButterBurger Cheese, cheese curds and frozen custards. The foods are really delicious. I'm glad that I try this before I move out of Missouri. I would recommend to try Cluver. You can also order online after you have a seat as they have QR code to order online.“

“Ice & Fuel is my go-to spot for what I feel is the best burger in STL. The cooked-to-order freshness is outstanding. With fresh, crisp vegetables and sides, it's hard to beat. If your cardiologist is more forgiving than mine, get a side of onion rings! Drinks are cheaper than most places and the pours are perfect. The staff is always courteous and attentive. Frequent visits and you'll be remembered - that's a great part of going here. My one complaint: It is loud. Very loud. Between 5 and 7 you're probably not going to have a few cocktails and catch up with friends. If yelling people is your thing, you'll love it! Overall Ice & Fuel is a great, underrated beer and burger joint. Check it out!“

“We love meeting up with friends. Food is great and plentiful! We have .et up at various locations. All good.Vegetarian options: Always accom.odates food allergies or preferences.Dietary restrictions: I have a diary allergy, and they are very helpful.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible for walkers, cane-assisted, or wheelchairs.“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and our server Dina was the best!“
