    Nope.
    Em H.

    We've frequented the Chesterfield location a few times (for pickup), and have been pretty satisfied. Unfortunately, this location did not live up to our expectations. It was a busy Sunday, so our food came out much later than expected. 40+ minutes for 2 sandwiches might be a bit much on a regular Sunday afternoon. If the food has been on point, that could have been overlooked. However, my husband's burger was overcooked, and my chicken sandwich had two terrifying pieces of lettuce and no sauce, which I requested on the side (mayo instead of aioli). The chicken was cooked perfectly, but unfortunately lacked all seasoning, including salt. The food was subpar, but had so much potential with a few tweaks. Unfortunately, you don't frequent a restaurant for the potential. Anyway, the fries were pretty good. We requested whatever condiments were available, and received 2 small containers of ketchup, which for us personally, wasn't enough for our food. Location was cute, particularly the outside dining area. Parking was a pain. Service was friendly enough. As of now, I don't feel like we'll be returning to this particular location.

    Cajun Benedict
    Beck E.

    Came here for a late on a Sunday lunch after a failed attempt to order at two other places nearby. We were able to be seated outside quickly, but inside there was a 20-minute wait. We had a trainee as our waitress, who was just okay. Friendly enough but failed to inform us that food would take over 45 minutes after ordering due to large parties inside, and she failed to keep us informed during the wait. The more senior waitress waitress to our table was better after she realized what was happening. (We had two young children at our table who were getting hungry and restless!) Food was fine. I ordered the Cajun Benedict, which didn't taste particularly Cajun. I think it was just the andouille sausage that made it Cajun. The portion size was good, and it tasted fine. My kid ate a few slices of her pizza as well, which is a good sign. Overall, just an okay experience. I'd return but not going out of my way to do so.

    Spinach Chicken Salad

    I've always had the best experiences at Billy G's. No matter how busy they are (& they're always busy!), they seat and serve you efficiently. During my last visit, I grabbed a table inside to enjoy their spinach salad (my fav) while my husband had wings and fries. Billy G's has a variety of options so you won't be left disappointed.

    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.

    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
    Courtney N.

    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!

    BBQ Chicken Pizza    Small
    Gregory S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cajun Benedict
    Maegan R.

    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.

    Huevos rancheros and mimosas with the girls!
    Samantha L.

    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!

    Kelly W.

    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!

We were 11th in line when we signed up, and by the time we arrived, we had moved up to 5th. Since it was raining, we decided to wait in the car. When we reached 3rd in line, we were unexpectedly removed from the waitlist. I tried calling the phone number listed on Yelp, which was the same number displayed on the building, but it went straight to what sounded like a personal cellphone voicemail. We decided to go inside anyway and discovered the waitlist wasn't necessary because there were plenty of tables available. The menu had a lot of interesting options, although I wish it included photos of the dishes. We ordered the Hawaiian Bowl, the Truffle Burger, and what I believe was the Blueberry Jam Burger, along with regular fries and sweet potato fries. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and each bun was stamped with the Circle 7 branded logo, which was a nice touch. The Hawaiian Bowl was delicious and generously portioned. I had enough left over for another meal. The atmosphere is definitely more of a sports bar than a traditional restaurant. Every wall seemed to have multiple TVs, making it easy to watch the soccer matches from just about anywhere in the dining room. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked on us several times throughout the meal. Before leaving, we couldn't decide on just one dessert, so we ordered the dessert sampler. The cobbler was the standout--it tasted homemade, especially the crust, and all of the desserts were served with ice cream. The only disappointment was the brownie, which was quite hard instead of soft and fudgy. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the service. The only downside was the confusing Yelp waitlist experience, which could definitely use some improvement.

I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected.

The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!

Since then, Olive + Oak has moved to its current location, which is spacious, airy and filled with light. And somehow, our experience last night was even better than what I remembered. I was having dinner with three friends I used to work with, and Abby, our server, was outstanding from start to finish. I arrived first and had a chance to chat with her before everyone else got there. Her energy and personality immediately stood out, and I knew she was going to be a hit with our group. Hard to believe she has been at Olive + Oak for only six months. She kept taking care of us throughout the evening. She really wanted us to try the grilled carrots, so she brought us an order on the house. Later, one of the managers stopped by with wine glasses and poured us some wine, also compliments of the restaurant. Those unexpected touches made an already great evening even more memorable. With four of us, we were able to explore quite a bit of the menu. We started with the Chicken Wings, Charred Octopus and Lion's Mane Steak. All three were distinctive and delicious. The Fried Green Tomato Salad was enormous, easily enough for all four of us to share, and packed with flavor. We learned it was leaving the menu after that night, so our timing was pretty good. For my entrée, I had the Grilled Flank Steak with crispy Parmesan potatoes, along with a side of Olive + Oak fries. Incredible. The fries were world-class, and Abby even tracked down some barbecue sauce for me to dunk them in. And those Grilled Carrots Abby insisted we try? Wow! Definitely one of the surprises of the night. We finished by sharing two new desserts, the Cloud Cake and Samoa Cookie Cake. Both were super delicious and a great way to end the meal. We ultimately spent more than three hours at Olive + Oak, and never once felt rushed. We were there to reconnect, tell stories and enjoy being together again. Great food certainly mattered, but the warm, attentive service made the evening even better. Eight years was way too long between visits. Olive + Oak remains my favorite St. Louis restaurant.
