    After an out of town volleyball game for my daughter on our way out we wanted to stop for something to eat before the drive home. We found this incredible little restaurant on accident but wow was I glad we did. We walked in and took a seat and our drink orders were taken immediately. We were the only people in the restaurant which as you can imagine made me wonder if this was a bad decision. Looking through the menu and seeing the selections available my eyes immediately stopped on the prime rib. It came out cooked per perfection and a baked potato that was fully cooked and hot! Good value for the money here and great food.

    We've driven by the café several times, and decided to try them for a late lunch. We're very glad we did! The fried chicken was very crispy and juicy. My dining partner enjoyed his sandwich and fries. The servers were very attentive and friendly. I'm sure we'll be back again!

    Stopped after visiting friends. Great service. I had the 2 piece fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. Very nice lunch. I'll be back again. Very nondescript cafe but well worth the stop. I love Mom and Pop diners. This one is a win.

    Great food and awesome fries! Great for lunch! It is good solid comfort type food and the three times I have been there I always enjoyed my meal.

    This is my go to in for a wonderfully prepared home cooked meal. I typically have the meatloaf here but today's special was fried chicken with two sides and a salad for $6.29. Even though I never have room for dessert after eating here the desserts are so good I usually take one home with me. Servers are always friendly and attentive. The place is always clean and also includes many historical photos of Saint Genevieve which I appreciate. Good value and always consistent.

We both had huge salads, I must have French Onion soup any where I find it and it and was very good nice cheese top, good taste.

The staff was very nice and efficient, This has to be a great secret at sun set dinner has to be beautiful. This is a must see and try to eat and a good wine over looking beautiful views.

I ordered the crab cakes of course because #stlouispescatarianapproved, and we also tackled the charcuterie board, which could feed a small country or at least 6 very hungry wine drinkers. Later, we wandered inside for live music. If you're looking for a chill day that accidentally becomes an entire experience, this is your spot.

    For the past 6 months life has been a nightmare - luckily I took notes when I visited many places…read moreso when things died down I would be able to just type this out and pop in the pictures. I really liked this place. This brewery has a great vibe, is HUGE, good service, yummy food, tasty beer and considering it was a cold, icky night when we went - there was more people there than I would have thought. My smash melt was so good. Messy but a good type of messy. It was also a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. The shepherds pie was really runny. A spoon was definitely the utensil of choice but the flavor was spot on. I struggled to get up the stairs because of my knees (both are new) and it appears to be the only stairs so I had to wait for some servers to go up (& vice versa) but when we got up there it was very cool. Honestly, this place is huge. I cannot stress that enough. There was a big party next to us and I watched how they were waited on...because sometimes big parties can be a challenge. It appeared that no one waited a unreasonable time to get their refills. Even a spill was taken care of by staff swiftly. That is a good sign. However, our service was just good. It took a long time to get a beer and we never got out second one we just paid and left All that being said, I will be back.

    Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 - 1/18 for Missouri…read more We stopped here as our first stop on our Missouri Brewery Race, plotted intentionally for the eats... specifically all you can eat fried chicken day... not that I could eat a whole lot of it, but I love good fried chicken and that KFC at home isn't scratching that itch. Needless to say, I ordered the fried chicken, dark meat. The hubs got a maple syrup (flavored, turns out - definitely NOT maple syrup). The table behind us ordered directly after our order was put in and also ordered all you can eat fried chicken, dark meat. When i heard, "we're sold out of that", with my order not up yet, I thought we were in for potential problems. Now, at 845pm, I'd understand that but 15min after the "special" starts, with a half empty dining room... I'm gonna have some questions. For example: Why is there no chicken available at open on fried chicken day? Anywho, the plates come out & I'd guess the potatoes were from the last special... cold & crusty, topped with the thickest, most concentrated "gravy" I've ever seen. Both were inedible. The broccoli was cooler than it should have been served at but tasted good. The real star was definitely the fried chicken. It absolutely hit the spot - unfortunately, they were indeed sold out of dark meat & i ended up with a wing... sigh - thankfully, I got 1 thigh, my true love & although it was all you can eat (only way they sell it), 1 thigh is about all I can eat. Still, I could have skipped the sides all together for a 2nd thigh... The burger was "ok", nicely cooked, but maple flavor is not at all the same as real maple syrup tho & it definitely could be improved with real maple syrup. The beer was pretty tasty. We had 3 different ones & could have pulled a 4th had the timing worked out. Overall, a so-so experience. I'm not sure why, when I ordered, that I wasn't told that there wasn't enough chicken for a dark meat order. I would have asked if there was a thigh left & likely still ordered it when they said yes, but it would have been my choice then. They did stop selling the chicken special before we cashed out.

My husband got the breakfast burrito which he demolished and I got the Philly omelette which was packed full of meat and cheese. We split the cinnamon roll waffle which has a cream cheese icing to die for. It's the best waffle we've ever had. I watched many fantastic looking goodies getting delivered to other tables. We will definitely return to try some of the other mouth watering options. Staff was attentive and super sweet. Glasses stayed full and we left stuff. The abbey is a beautiful building. Historical photos line the walls. It is definitely a worthy day trip. Don't forget to grab some baked goods to go. They have bread a pastries.

I wanted a steak, perused the menu, saw something that said "Saintsbury Steak", "real Missouri beef", etc. $18, sounded like a steak to me. Turns out it was a tiny little SALSBURY steak!! On a bed of fake mashed potatoes. When I contacted the owner, told him I was misled by the description on the menu, was very disappointed in an $18 HAMBURGER on fake potatoes, he simply said he was sorry I felt that way, so sad. He said that was one of his best sellers. All I can say is his clientele must not have much to choose from. I'll NEVER go back there again. I sure miss the previous owners who cared what they served and how people liked it.
