    Burger of the month
    Andrew W.

    Service was very good! I was visiting on a work trip but the waiter helped me get around! It was pretty busy on a workday lunch. I liked my burger of the month but it wasn't my favorite burger of all time. My milkshake was fantastic and they even gave me pretty much another full glass of "extra". That's how you do it right! I was hoping to convince my coworkers to eat dinner here but unfortunately they chose somewhere else. I would recommend and hope to be back one day!

    My family and I had lunch at 5 Star and enjoyed it. We were seated very quickly and the service was good. We also enjoyed the music played throughout the restaurant. My daughter ordered The Breakfast of Champions, a side of onion rings, and a vanilla milkshake. She really liked her burger (especially the egg on top) and rings. She said she would like her shake a little sweeter but enjoyed the consistency and appreciated that it wasn't hard to drink. She loved how crispy the onion rings were and that they onion itself wasn't slimy. My husband ordered the Patty melt, coleslaw, and cheese curds. He said it was cooked to perfection, juicy, had a great sauce, and the bread was toasted just right. He liked the cheese curds but would have liked it more if they had marinara sauce as an option. He did not like the coleslaw and thought it was bland. He appreciated that they had his favorite beer on tap, the Civil Life Brown Ale. I ordered the Blackened Barramundi with a side of fries. It was good but I would have preferred more seasoning. It lacked salt but the sauce helped. The fries were ok. I loved that although they are a burger place, there were many options for people who don't eat beef. We happened to go right a happy hour unknowingly and they have daily (even weekends). They have a great happy hour menu. Looking forward to trying new things in the future.

    Bison Burger and fries

    5 star burgers has some of the best burgers in St. Louis hands down! I had (and always get) the Bison burger and fries! It was cooked perfectly! I also decided to grab an off menu drink from the bar, a whiskey sour, and I was extremely impressed. Both the waitress and the bartender were so gracious and complementary of how drinks are made, and the skill behind who was making the drinks. It was evident when I took my first sip, lol! 5 star burgers is in Clayton on Maryland along the strip and it seems like a small restaurant from the outside, but when you walk in is actually a lot bigger than it looks like. The bar area is really small so if you go for happy hour I will suggest going right at the beginning if you want to get a decent seat. this is one of my favorite places and I will make sure to come back again.

    We really enjoyed this place. Stopped in for dinner one evening, and it was definitely a lively atmosphere. We were seated immediately. Service as friendly and efficient. Prices were also quite fair. The food was very good.. We had the patty melt and the Gorgonzola bacon burger. Both were tasty, as were the fries and coleslaw. Absolutely no complaints on food. The meat was even cooked to temp, which doesn't always happen, and served very promptly. We'd definitely return.

    My friend Bob and I have been going all over St. Louis looking for the perfect burger. After a recommendation by a frequent customer we tried 5 Star Burgers. We went with our friend Barb. We each walked in at different times because Barb beat us there and Bob went in while I fed the meter. Why mention this? Because each one of us was greeted. This place was very clean and everyone was friendly and nice. Our lunch drinks (read no alcohol) were perfect (trust me people CAN and HAVE screwed up iced tea). Barb had the Korean Hot Fried Chicken. No bun. She is not looking for the best burger. She said the chicken was very good and a bite of chicken, slaw and peppers was perfect. She said the chicken was good on it's own but that combo really brought out the flavors. I had the Magic Mushoom burger. I love grilled onions and mushrooms. My burger was very good. The burger had a bit of sweetness... not sure where that came from. At first I was disappointed but then decided there was something very different but comfortable about it. (Not sure why those words popped in my head but it's my first reaction so I'm gonna go with it. Barb and I split a Mixed Basket of Regular and Sweet Potato Fries and I even brought some home. Bob had regular fries and couldn't eat them all. Our drinks were refilled before we asked and after mentioning how crisp and tasty the pickle slices were I rec'd a little cup of a couple more. We were asked twice how the food was and when we finished our plates were removed almost immediately. I know what you are thinking; what did Bob think of his burger. Bob is a purist so when he gets a burger he gets it plain. He wants to taste it. When he ordered he asked if it was one patty or two and was told one which he appreciated because he doesn't eat a ton. That being said, these burgers were huge. Bob bit into his and said, "some may say they are serving Angus meat, but these guys are really doing it". Bob loved this burger. It was super big but he ate it ALL! Kudos to 5 Star!! Best burger by Bob! Yup, I'll definitely be back!

    We just moved back to the area and were craving a non-fast-food burger, and 5 Star Burgers popped up as highly recommended. I placed a to-go order online and drove over to pick it up. This is a really cute restaurant, located in a charming area. Parking is limited, had to parallel park. Staff was very friendly and had my order hot and ready. Everything we ordered was very good and had a hefty portion size as well. The cheeseburgers were pretty big and had fresh toppings, and the fries are cut in house. Although it might not have been the BEST meal of my life, I'd gladly order from here again over a run of the mill chain. I would say it was worth my money.

    The name is not a lie - the burgers are really five star. I ordered the five star burger and the patty was flavored SO well. Just the perfect amount of salt and pepper to bring out the flavor of the beef without being overpowering. The pickle chips were deliciousssss and the perfect thickness for a burger. The burger prices listed are just for the burger, fries are extra and worth it. When I first saw the fries I thought they would be generic fries, but they are so perfectly crispy and salted. I got a speakeasy to drink and a mint chocolate chip ice cream shooter to finish, and both were delicious. I love that they sell the $1 ice cream shooters, which are just a small scoop of ice cream in a small cone. It was the perfect lil nightcap (nonalcoholic) to end the evening. I was full so I wouldn't have wanted a full dessert, but the ice cream shooter hit the spot. The service was great. I sat outside and was checked on several times by my waitress to ensure that I had everything I needed. The food came out quick. There is plenty of seating. There's paid parking right in front of the restaurant, and free parking in the neighborhood around the corner if you're willing to walk a very short walk. I love that this is a chill restaurant with great food. It's not super fancy, it's relatively cheap, and it serves up great eats.

    First time trying this place as it is conveniently located close to my job. Decent size place that offers indoor and outdoor seating which is always a plus in my book! Upon arrival I wasn't greeted, stood there for quite a bit actually. The person in front of me got seated and they never came back to seat me. Luckily there were spots at the bar so I took that instead. The lady bartender was extremely nice and provided excellent customer service! I opted for the Gateway Burger medium-well that was cooked to perfection. The temperature was right on. The burger lacked seasoning just a little bit the toppings were fresh and the bun was perfect. The fries were nice and crisp! Though they were packed, the food came out really fast!

    Great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. It took us a second to find a spot to park on the street. We were seated pretty quickly. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar. We got the 5 star burger, patty melts my heart and some fries to share. Both of the burgers were cooked perfectly and were delicious. The chopped chillies added the perfect amount of spice to the patty melt. The restaurant is family friendly and had a kids menu. The service was a bit slow but they were busy.

    A burger joint that the target audience is higher middle class people. So a "gourmet"burger that don't come with fries are included in the experience.

    Cristy M.

    Food is always delicious, and well priced! The five star burger is worthy of its name. The sweet potato fries with the aioli are INCREDIBLE! Service can be a bit slow at times (it seems to be mostly younger servers), but it's worth the wait.

I'll be up front and disclose that I AM NOT A SALAD PERSON. The closest form of a salad that I eat would be a chicken Caesar wrap laden with dressing and cheese and carbs with probably 2000 calories. That said, boy was my elote salad at Neon Greens enjoyable. It is a lil pricey but worth it once I dug in and really enjoyed myself and learned more about the shop and their mission. They grow everything themselves - so cool. I love the friendly employees and the really really fresh greens and combinations. I got the cheese bread but was really close to ordering the soup instead. I'll skip the bread and try the soup next time. No matcha soft serve available the day that I went.

    I'm so satisfied!…read more Neon Greens is in The Grove, and from the outside you'd never guess how cool it is inside. You walk into this older building and it just opens up into this bright, clean, almost energizing space . I went with the Umami Crunch with tofu and... yeah, this is the kind of place that makes you realize how rare a really good salad is. Like, when do you ever eat a salad and think, "the lettuce is incredible"? That happened here. Everything tasted fresh in a way that's hard to explain unless you've had it. And then you find out why--they literally have a hydroponic farm attached. Not just for show either... they do tours, and a lot of what you're eating is coming straight from there. It makes the whole experience feel different in the best way. The portions are huge, super filling, and still somehow feel light and clean. I also grabbed a local blue spirulina kombucha that ended up being one of the best I've had. If you keep wandering toward the back, it turns into this almost maze-like space, and on weekends they do a pop-up called Biscuit Town with breakfast items (including vegan options). It just keeps going. Honestly, I walked in craving a REALLY good salad and left wondering why it's so hard to find places like this. This is one of those spots you go to once and immediately know you'll be back.

My eggs and salad dish came out next, along with an order of their toasted sourdough bread, butter and jam I ordered (their specialty). Unfortunately, the toast was cold, as was the liquidy fruit jam. Butter was ice cold out of the frig too since it has been forgotten and needed to be retrieved. The small green salad was fresh and tasty, but the two scrambled eggs were cold and rubbery. It was hard to know who was out server because aside from the seating hostess, four more people arrived, one after the other, at varying times to get the meal and forgotten items to our small party of three. I was left feeling that more training and organized timing of meals is needed at this establishment.

Another friend did the soup and sandwich combo and loved it. Our server was really sweet and forgot a couple things but honestly given how slammed they were I completely get it. The bread lives up to the hype. Definitely a must if you're in the area and want a really solid lunch.

That's the vibe. We started on the front patio on a Friday night and quickly realized we'd made a mistake. The doors to the interior were open and the music -- a rock-forward playlist that night -- was loud enough that we considered bailing. Our server, was unbothered when we asked to move up to the rooftop. Where we met with a new bartender and server, London, who rolled with it, got us resettled, and from that point on the night was great. London was clearly handling the bar and most of the rooftop tables, but she was attentive throughout, and made eye contact, which seems a near miracle from many 20-something these days. Bumping the score up just for the flexibility on the table move alone. The food: crab cakes were genuinely good, not life-changing, but well above the weak-crab-cake bar that exists in most of the world, served simply with capers and a small salad. I went off-script and ordered the wagyu burger medium rare with fontina (London mentioned cheddar is the more common pick, but the Fontina offerd a great alternative). The burger was deeply flavorful and cooked exactly right, but here's my one real note for the kitchen: toast the brioche bun. Wagyu medium-rare puts out a lot of juice, and an untoasted bun loses its structural integrity about three bites in. A quick toast would let the bun keep some additional integrate and keep up with the perfectly cooked beef. The pom buff were great, the best elevated patato tots you may come by. Beyond what we ordered, the Greek salad is a longtime go-to -- chopped, with grape leaves and pita, available in a small or large, and easily dressed up into a light meal with or without adding some protein or can be share as a self-dress bruschetta appetizer for the group if you ask for extra bread. The cheese boards are also a reliable pick. The wine list is extensive (it's a wine bar, after all), but they don't sniff at cocktails -- I had a solid fine old fashioned, and my wife shared had a Malbec that paired well with everything. Lots of gluten-free options across the menu, too. What Sasha's gets right is that it has refused to become precious. "Wine bar" reads as pretentious to some people, but this place runs as a neighborhood spot. You'll see college kids dressed way down, couples on dates dressed way up, Hawaiian shirts, oversized sweaters, the full range. It's the kind of place where you can split a bottle with your girlfriends, meet a date for drinks and a quick bite without committing to a full dinner, or roll in for brunch on the weekend. Different times of day, different vibes -- always approachable. 4.7 stars. Loses a few tenths for the front-patio music situation and the weak burger bun, but more than makes up for it on flexibility, food, and overall hang factor.

    Used to love this place, but today really changed my impression…read more We stopped in for a quick drink on a beautiful Saturday. There were a few open tables, but we were asked to wait by the door while they "got situated." Meanwhile, a walk-in who arrived after us was seated at a table we had been waiting for. When we were finally seated, we were placed in direct sun. I asked if we could move to a shaded table in the corner and was told it was only for parties of three. After explaining we'd just be there briefly for a drink, we were allowed to sit there, but the interaction felt dismissive. From that point on, the experience felt rushed. We were pushed to order quickly, our menus were taken right away, and the check came almost immediately. It made what should have been a relaxed stop feel uncomfortable and transactional. I understand how busy restaurants can get, especially on nice days, but a little more consideration and courtesy would have gone a long way.
