    Breakfast Club and breakfast potatoes with an Aperol Spritz
    Kelsi D.

    I have tasted Heaven and it is the Breakfast Club. Cheesy, melted gooey delight! The breakfast potatoes were well seasoned but not overly so. Kevin was attentive and swift. There was a reasonable wait for brunch (about 30 minutes) but the meal was worth the wait. I only wish I'd gotten an Aperol Spritz at the bar for the wait. The outside area is beautiful and the seating inside is roomy.

    First, kudos to the manager on duty Sunday evening February 1st; I think his name is Jethro. We had some last minute changes to large group reservation and he was most accommodating. Our server Tillie, was wonderful. She brought water for everyone and took orders for drinks and appetizers. Beverages came out right away; and salads & apps were served promptly. The restaurant was nearly full, but it didn't take long at all for entrees to arrive, all at the same time. Everyone enjoyed their selections. I ordered house salad plus chicken, very good and with a generous amount of grilled chicken. The BBQ ribs looked fantastic, definitely trying that next time. Tillie quickly and cheerfully processed separate checks for us. Looking forward to milder weather to enjoy dinner and live music on the patio.

    House Salad - Starter Salad

    We walked into Billy G's, and it looked busy. We asked if there was a wait but surprisingly, there was no wait! We walked to our table and sat down. After 25-30 seconthey came out with our drinks. Very quick for a sit-down service! It was a sports bar/casual atmosphere with a lot of televisions to watch sports. Mainly golf. The floors were also very clean, mopped and vacuumed. ordered the Chicken Spiedini with House Salad and Red Sauce. The House Salad was the best salad I have ever tasted. The spiedini was very delicious and well grilled. The pasta was creamy, and it was penne pasta. What a pleasant experience.

    If you're looking to get your drink on, this place would be a good place for that. Has a good outside space and decent inside bar area. The food however - not that great unless you're getting a burger. - Chicken spiedini was very lackluster. Not much filling, dry and lacking much flavor. - Chili: Not very good and must be some pre-fab chili stuff they're using. - Alfredo: This wasn't too bad...especially compared to the other items I listed above. - Burger was decent enough. Hard to mess up a burger. Would I be back to eat? No. Like I said...get your drink on - that's what this place is good for.

    Shrimp Tacos

    Came for lunch with my sister, we had a short wait but nothing outrageous for a Friday afternoon. We split the spinach artichoke dip, my sister got the shrimp tacos, and I got the French dip. All were pretty good with generous portion sizes! The prices are a little steep, but it's pretty on par with the area. Our service was fairly slow, our server even made the comment that she felt like she had neglected us. The place is huge and has a beautiful patio, my sister and I both said we would love to return just to enjoy the space with friends!

    Came here on a Saturday night at 10pm. Was able to get seated right away. Staff was very friendly and loved talking about the history of the restaurant and St. Louis. Food was very good. I had the Brisket plate, small pizza and gooey cheesecake. Brisket was very tender and flavorful. Pizza was St. Louis thin crust. It looks light but it was nice and heavy. Gooey cheesecake was definitely the right choice. Wish the slices were bigger though! Overall a great restaurant, vibes were relaxing and our server was checking in very often to make sure we were well taken care of.

    The service is good and the food is tasty and fresh. I love the patio area in warm temps especially when there is live music. You have a choice of using the indoor or outdoor bar.

    Had a wonderful brunch experience at Billy G's with some friends! We were seated right away and our waitress was friendly and accommodating. They had a Bloody Mary, mimosa, and coffee bar that was fantastic. I got the Bloody Mary and they had several different mixes to choose from along with cheese cubes, pickles, banana peppers, stuffed olives, crispy bacon, and so much more. For mimosas they had different fruit juices along with fruits. We orders the BIG cinnamon roll for the table and it's H U G E and yummy! Highly recommend ordering one to share. The breakfast burrito was delicious and stuffed with eggs, sausage, bacon, and topped with cheese. Also, recommend as well. Can't wait to go back for the Bloody Mary bar again.

    Our waiter was the best, so personable and helpful, he had us shift to a larger table to better accommodate our group. The vibe there is always casual and chill, perfect for a fun birthday brunch!! The food is also always great. I have never found something I don't like there! It's amazing. Oh and their mimosa bar is also super fun!! We didn't sit on their patio, but it's also perfect to sit on on a nice day!

    I do adore this restaurant and the Kirkwood one is just a vibe in itself! The patio was packed this afternoon when we arrived to celebrate a friend's bday but! We were still able to enjoy the bottomless mimosas! I love that they had a full spread of juices, fruits and candies to make your mimosa the very best you've ever had and catered to you!!!! We were seated and had the best waiter! He was very attentive and personable! I ordered the blueberry waffles which were delicious and not too sweet! I requested the bacon well done and IT WAS! Yummers! Perfect!!!! I will be back! Love, love this spot!

    House Salad with Grilled Shrimp
    Steven B.

    A friend and I did some boutique shopping in Kirkwood, while our dogs were at a local dog spa. After shopping, it was time for a martini and a light lunch. When you're in Kirkwood, you cannot go wrong when you dine at Billy G's. We both enjoyed an Extra Dry Vodka (Tito's) Martini, with olives as a garnish. They were so good, I had to have a second one. My friend remained strong and only had one, but she enjoyed hers as much as I did mine. They truly were a masterfully made cocktail. My friend is doing low-carb, so she ordered their Backyard chicken wings and chose Bleu Cheese for dipping. The wings were a BBQ dry-rub and must of been good, she cleaned those bones like a pro. I went with their, Gianino's Salad with Gianino's House dressing. I went with the starter size, but added Grilled Shrimp. The salad is a Romaine and Iceberg mix with, STL style cheese, (code for Provel) mushroom, green onion and pimento. Adding the shrimp was a smart decision, it truly made it a great lunch. I loved, it. The shrimp were good sized and delicious. Our server was attentive, friendly and did not rush us. He even helped us make some of our decisions.

    I went here for lunch with a groups of friends/coworkers. This was my first time going here. The place also had brunch at the time too. We all decided to order instead of brunch. I got the eggplant parmesan. It came with white pasta and a salad. I went with the Caesar salad. The salad was good, rich and flavorful. I also got their alcoholic drink, it was peach something but I forgot the name of it. It was a good drink. The service was great. The waitress was very attentive.

    5 stars for Sawmill BBQ Pub & Grill…read more We were originally trying to go to another barbecue restaurant but they ran out of brisket (WHAT!). Then I typed in some great barbecue restaurants on Yelp, and there appeared Sawmill BBQ Pub & Grill. It looks like just a regular bar with a music stage, but don't judge a book by its cover - the food is amazing. The portions are massive and the prices are reasonable, as are the drink prices. This is definitely more of a locals joint, but definitely worth stopping in for anyone if you want some St. Louis style BBQ. The brisket platter was the best - big portions, 2 sides and 2 pieces of garlic bread. The Jalepano Mac and cheese balls are awesome, so much flavor. The salmon platter was also very tasty and fresh. The live music is fun (but loud), and our waitress was nice. Overall, if you what BBQ and are in the area, this is definitely worth checking out.

Crispy, cheesy, no notes. Overall, this little spontaneous stop turned into a win!

We started off with the deviled eggs (good) and the hush puppies (horrible). The hush puppies had no flavor to them and were burnt on the outside. They give you a honey butter with the hush puppies and I see why because the hush puppies are horrible. Then we ordered the three meat platter with two sides. Smoke wings, ribs and chicken. The meat overall was good. They do offer four different sauces at the table to go along with the meat. We also ordered the coleslaw and fries, which were both good. There was some kind of bread (Cheddar and bacon popover) that came along with this plate and flavorless (horrible) It was pointless to have that on the plate. Drinks- Lucky Club cola Our waitress was great and she knew a lot about the food there. They did offer us a sample of their special. It was some kind of turkey jalapeño sandwich.

    Mr. J's BBQ is a BBQ stand on the NE corner of The Kirkwood Farmers Market…read more You can find him there on Thursday and Saturday. He serves great St. Louis backyard style BBQ prepared in a couple barrel pits. He prepares several meats every day he is there and has a number of sides. Today I tried his ribs, his brisket, his pulled chicken, and chicken thigh. All had good smoke flavor and were well cooked and seasoned. I really enjoyed the chicken thigh and the ribs. Don't get me wrong the other items were good, but I enjoyed those 2 the most. I'm not a fan of pulled chicken, I've noted that previously, but Mr. J's pulled chicken was right good. He puts a little of his se'lah gold sauce with it and some sautéed peppers and onions. That makes for good flavor. The reason for the 4 not 5 stars is minor. I had several slices of brisket on my plates and the first slice I picked up while nicely smokey and well seasoned was tough. However, every other slice was perfectly tender indicating a proper cook. I only tried his Se'lah Original Sauce. But let me tell you he has a wonderful quintessential St. Louis style BBQ sauce in that. Man is it good. I get to KFM often during the summer. I'll be back by for sure. Y'all enjoy!!

    You know, maybe it's just a Bandana's thing - and I just don't like it…read more Bandana's is a BBQ restaurant like someone that knows BBQ well tried explaining it to a tribesman in a South American rainforest and him opening up a restaurant. It's just not really a real BBQ place. I understand that a lot of people like it, and more power to them. But it's just not our style. Often the brisket has a lot of fat. And not the good rendered fat, just plain old fat. I've more than a few times experienced that there is little to no bark on the meat. I'm a big fan of ribs and these I find disappointing. They almost always lack in flavour. If they don't taste great plain, with nothing on them, simply smoked, then having to doctor them up with sauces to make up for it is just not the way it should be done. The Cole slaw....man.....it all depends on where in the Cole slaw bucket they are at because sometimes it can be the nice Cole slaw they have, other times they are scraping the bottom of the barrel and what you get is a sloppy wet mess of grated cabbage. Can't even say it feels like a good ol' BBQ atmosphere. The potato salad at Bandana's has always been nice, the employees, for the most part, at this location have been attentive and friendly. We've given Bandana's quite a few visits, this location a good 3 to 4 times, but I think this last visit will be just that - our last visit. In this town there are just too many other choices for BBQ. Sorry Bandana's, we've given you more than a fair chance!
