What an amazing place! We sat at the bar and watched the World Cup game. We had an amazing bartender who was always on top of things. My wife had a Bloody Mary which is made white their homemade mix. It was awesome! I had a local IPA which was also amazing, so I had another. My wife got the pot stickers and I had boneless wings. Both were very good and we would definitely have them again. I meant to take food photos and forgot. We're going to remember this spot as we pass back through town next week. Don't miss this one! read more

Disappointing tonight! The kitchen was just not on its game. My Rattlesnake pasta tasted good, but was barely like warm. Sent it back, and when it came back the top was hot, but the rest was still barely lukewarm still. Took about 3 bites, and took the rest home. The Club Sandwich bacon was overdone. Baked potato was waaaayyy overcooked. So skin was hard. Boneless wings had some chewiness to them. The pasta did get comped, so can't complain too much! And I took the leftovers home. Server was great! I felt bad for complaints about the pasta, but she was awesome. She was very attentive, and kept drinks filled. She lent my kiddos a pen to do the kids menu activities. The restaurant is decorated with all sorts if fun decor as always. Even with the great service, probably won't be back for quite some time if at all. read more

Finding an amazing vegetarian meal in a small town isn't easy, but 54th Street Cafe nailed it. The fresh, made-from-scratch veggie burger was one of the best I've ever had--topped with tangy pickled onions and paired with a garlic aioli that elevated every bite. We also ordered a cherry limeade with the cheeseburger and fries, plus a Paloma mocktail with the veggie burger and fries, and everything was delightful. The atmosphere has a fun Midwest vintage vibe, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the mocktail menu was a thoughtful touch. Perfect spot for a memorable dinner whether you're local or just passing through. read more

Damn. I love giving out 5's all day! I'm the more optimistic reviewer...a server having that one off day, strange circumstances, whatever. I wanted to love this place Fun, atmosphere, great layout, incredible staff. But the food was a huge miss. I am from Florida, and if you're going to put crabcakes on your menu, you should know what they taste like. I didn't order the surf and turf. I got the flat iron steak, rare. and shrimp, grilled (you have the option of crabcake instead of shrimp, not falling for that again). The steak was med well. And the shrimp was fried. Got the roasted Brussels that came out with feta. First for me. I will be back at some point at least try a burger. Like I said. Can't write off a joint after one visit... read more

54th Street Scratch Grill & Bar - That is my "rare" flatiron steak. And "grilled shrimp." Taken 12 mins after ordering. - Bars Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Great lunch with really good service. I had my standard scratch veggie burger and Brussels sprouts. It was exactly like I expected, hot, tasty, and fresh. My hubby loved the unlimited soup & salad. He loved the baked potato soup. He enjoyed the steak soup as well. He wasn't really crazy about the Caesar salad because he likes a really sharp, zingy Caesar dressing. This was pretty bland to appeal to the mass. That's ok, I was happy to see him eat some of it! I was very disappointed in the keylime pie. I don't know where the lime flavor came from in this "pie" but it's just odd. It's like a piece of cheesecake with inconsistent citric acid flavoring. The whipped cream with lime peel was tasty--which is not good when the garnish is better than the main item. I should have gotten the carrot cake. read more

Wow! Why isn't this restaurant and the people who work in it by our home? We live in Spring Hill and came out this way to see a car. We had a little time so looked on Google and decided on this place. Our server Denae was so friendly and attentive! She was always checking on us, refilling drinks, and was prompt. Then we had the manager approach us because we said it was our first time and he was so nice and humorous. He offered us a piece of cheesecake on the house and invited us back! Man, if this place was by our house we would be coming here weekly. Food and drinks were amazing and the prices are great for the quality. Thank you! read more

The service was not to my standards. I felt like I was beeing judged. The waitress was very rude at the beginning and the manager at the end of our meal jumped at me because I was asking for a recipe. From another waitress. In my opinion, they looked at us like I couldn't pay for dinner. They need to not judge a book by its cover, before making a judgment on people of other races. By the way, I trying to enjoy dinner with my son on his birthday. The food was excellent too bad we'll never set foot at that establishment again. Remember that customers are what make or break your business. read more

My husband and I just had dinner at 54th St. in Saint Joseph MO and the service was outstanding, our waitresses name was Mikayla B. She was very polite and very friendly and we would definitely request her when we come back. She would be an asset to any restaurant or any business that needed help.. She told us she was going to college and no doubt she will succeed . Good luck Mikayla. And thank you. read more

The staff are amazing!! We came on a Saturday during lunch rush. As you can imagine, it was packed. We were seated pretty quick and our server was on top of it the whole time! Our wait time for apps and food were 5-10 minutes which was impressive for how busy it was! My boyfriend got a ribeye and it ended up being overcooked. With how busy it was, he wasn't bothered by it. Evan (I'm assuming was the owner/manager) brought the steak to us and apologized and said he could take it back because they already started another ribeye. We said it was totally fine! Evan ended up giving us the ribeye AND fries for free at the end of our meal as an apology! 10/10 service and the food was amazing!! read more

Went at 2pm for a late lunch. Waitress took forever to even bring water to the table, so we placed our order when she brought the water. Food came out pretty quick but the spoon brought out with my soup had dried cheese or something on it. Finally saw our waitress to ask for a clean spoon & by time she got it to me, my soup was ice cold. She acted like I bothered her when I asked for another bowl since this one was cold. She was very short with me & grabbed the bowl & walked away. 10 minutes later she finally returned hot soup. Food was very good but the waitress not caring & not being able to be found changed the whole ambiance of the day. I will go back to 54th Street however I won't allow this waitress to ever serve us again read more

When travel to the Lake of the Ozarks we stopped here for lunch. We try to do local restaurants when we can ! This place did not disappoint. The restaurant was lively and full for a Thursday lunch . But the staff handled it well . Our server was so great! We had the gringo dip , salads , all American burger , soup. Everything came out piping hot and in a timely manner. We left full and happy for the rest of our road trip ! Will be back if we are in St. Joe again ! read more

my server was incredibly condescending and rude. Me and my family came out there to enjoy a night of fun which we don't do often, and the entire experience was ruined by her demeanor. I believe that her name started with a J. it was around morning and really just messed up our entire day. read more

The hotels front desk suggested i come try out this place. Said it was like Applebee's but better. So i gave it a try. The menu is loaded with options from steaks to burgers to pasta dishes and everything in between. I did my usual ask the waiter/waitress for their favorite. The waiter suggested either a burger or the spinach artichoke cream pasta. So i opted for the pasta. The portion was plenty and it even had plenty of chicken and shrimp mixed in too. Want just all pasta coats in the cream sauce, it had protein too! The grilled chicken strips was nice and tender and the shrimp was cooked just right. Shrimp wasn't rubbery like you get in some pasta dishes. The thing that got me was the cream sauce just seemed really salty. The staff was super friendly and the place was busy. I'll be back to try something else. I might go for one of the craft sandwiches instead next time! read more

54th Street Scratch Grill & Bar - Wall decor at my booth - Bars Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Worst manager, EVER! I'm eating at the bar, and my friend, who is female with her daughter,ordered nachos with everything on the side. The manager Jake brought them out and told her she could not order them with everything on the side again. We then had another friend who is male order it the same way, and they had someone else bring it out, and nothing was said. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? How sexist can you be? This manager is unbelievable and should be fired immediately. We have been coming here for 20 yrs and never encountered this before. Is this business training and supporting these sexist managers? Wow read more

We were on our way to AZ from MN, spent the night in St. Joseph, MO and our hotel recommended 54th Street Grill for dinner. Three of the four of us ordered the filet mignon. Someone, not our waitress, came to our table and said they only had two filets left so I changed my order. He came back a SECOND time and said they only had one filet left so my sister-in-law ordered a pasta dish instead so my husband got the REMAINING filet. When it came, it was very Rare and he ordered it med rare so sent it back. Came back and it was STILL rare so he sent it back a THIRD time--it came back very charred on the outside, still rare on the inside so he just left it on the plate. Our waitress apologized profusely and said she'd make it right but didn't. Said she took the filets off our bill--the ONLY one who got a filet was my husband and his was inedible so he left the restaurant hungry. She did take his off the bill--the rest of us had to change our orders. Our food was okay but not what we wanted. She then said in addition to taking the filet off our bill, she'd take 10 percent off for all the trouble--not done. She charged me for a salad that was supposed to come with the filet but since I changed my order, she charged me for it even though she told me she would make it "right" since I had to change my order. We should have asked to speak to her manager but at that point, we were tired, frustrated and just wanted to go back to our hotel! Not a good experience!! read more

Best waffle fries I've ever had. Got the gringo sauce for them. Had the chicken avo sandwich, it was really good and juicy. Our waitress, Lexington, was very good, always watching our drinks! I would definately go back! read more

I have literally eaten at thousands of places all over the world, this place rocks! I am staying in Saint Jo for a few weeks. I've ordered here twice, and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, the tequila wrappers,both times, and now the Italian beef. All of the food was absolutely amazing. Also I ordered delivery to a hotel and the food arrived in less than 20 minutes, piping hot and fresh. Tasted like they made it in the hotel room next-door. Can't wait to sit down inside and eat some. July 21st, 2020 Well I finally made it inside to sit down. Amazing! Had the Cajun ribeye and it was perfect! Medium rare, veggies were spot on as well. If you are in the area, stop in! read more

Great atmosphere. Clean and organized. I had the 8oz Sirloin which was cooked amazingly. Service was good. Would go back in the future.

The atmosphere inside is really cool and reminds me a lot of how Red Robin used to decorate their restaurants. We started off with the Bavarian pretzel appetizer and they were delicious! The pretzel tasted comparable to an auntie Anne's pretzel and it came with a well-flavored white cheddar cheese dip which I've never had with pretzels before. I'd highly recommend them. For my dinner I had the chicken fried steak with a baked potato and Mac n cheese. The chicken fried steak was pretty good, but I wish I had gotten the chicken fried chicken. The baked potato was cooked perfectly on the inside, however the Mac n cheese was some of the most bland Mac n cheese I've ever had and I would not recommend it at all. read more

Prime Rib French Dip sandwich!! 54th Street has an extensive menu and this is what I chose for my first visit here. It did not disappoint.

The food was delicious and our waitress was very quick and respectful. Sports bar vibe. Great place for lunch or dinner.

Food tasted good but was presented strangely. Staff were pleasant and facility was very eclectic.

We ordered to go order...both chicken fried steaks and mashed potatoes then one with adult mac and cheese and the other with the brussel sprouts...then 2 Caesar salads and a long island tea all to go! First our salads were awesome!! Lots of dressing and it was on the side which was perfect too! But getting to our meal...the steak was super tough and stringy which was not their norm...my Brussels sprouts had a weird taste and his adult mac and cheese was not edible...this was a disappointing meal for us..one we did not finish! I know there have been a lot of changes with covid and people not showing up to work! We do plan to order again from there..we haven't given up on them yet!! read more

Busy place on a Friday night. Host said we'd get seated in about 15 minutes which we did. We started the meal off with Cheese Bites (we'd call them cheese curds a bit farther north). I prefer the batter fried compared to the breaded, but they were still good. Husband had a French dip which he said was the best he's had in a long time. Daughter had plain burger and fries which she also liked. I tried the protein bowl (grilled chicken, steamed veggies, and rice). I wanted something with less calories after Thanksgiving. It was perfect. It was tasty, not a ton of calories, and looked so healthy. I would totally get it again. Wish I would have taken a photo but I dug in too fast. Jacob was our server and he was super. Thanks, Jacob! read more

The Idaho baked potatoes soup was wonderful, the base was creamy and thick the potatoes were a perfect baked consistency, the bacon and green onions both burst with flavor, the ribs were good and the coleslaw was an interesting twist on coleslaw with green peppers and apples. My only flaw I found was that the fries were cold. A very enjoyable dinner read more

This is your classic dive bar and grill. That strange mix when a dive bar has dry humped a Chili's for so long. I can't say that I ever came here for the food. I have been here now a few times, only because I stay at the local Marriott. It is business of course, because I have a hard time anyone coming to St Jo's Missouri for pleasure. They have a decent beer selection, and the waitstaff is OK. The clientele is basically what you'd find in a backwoods dive bar but the G-rated version of the same. You see 20-years old mother of 3, trying to have an adult conversation after the kids bedtime so they are fuzzing like they'd do in an airplane seat - and at the same time you see a date going on in complete silence while all attention is on the big screens showing football. Yes, it's odd but I'd come here again. read more

Good service, good food, the margaritas on tap could use a little improvement but are nice sized

So mixed thoughts on this place. Service was excellent (Molly) was a fantastic help with menu choices especially her side recommendations. The main course (the spicy chicken sandwich) was not that great, no spice and the breading was a touch much and the bun was tough. Great beer selection and the price wasn't overwhelming read more
