We got lucky to snag a booth as we ventured here on the same nigh as 12 Bars of Charity. Lots of sweatshirts worn by the event goersl Sipped my drink while waiting for our buzzer to go off and we were rewarded quickly by the quick staff filling orders. It's a great, quick bite to share when you just need something to munch on. I had wanted to try the fire roasted cauliflower, so we placed another order for that. We love this combo for drinks and great bites!

Neon Greens (4176 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110)…read more During a weird time in our lives regarding lettuce, I fully trust the hydroponically grown lettuce here at Neon Greens. Parking is mostly limited to street parking. We came in on a busy Saturday, and while the line was long, it was moving. We reviewed the menu posted on their glass prior to coming in to order. Since we had our dog with us, we made our salads to go. I had the Thai BBQ salad while my guy had the Elote Salad with smoked chicken. We did not add anything extra. The service here was on point. They also ask your level of dressing (light, medium, or heavy). We had medium and also ordered 2 of their Chili Crisp Chewy Cheese Bread, which is reminiscent of Brazilian cheese bread but with a kick. For drinks, we ordered Mexican Coca-Cola and Pineapple Palo Santo kombucha, which is locally made. Everything was perfect, from the balance of ingredients to the taste and crunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating and if sitting indoors, beautiful natural lighting comes in. I cannot wait to order our salads here!

The meat was a bit stringy and hard to chew. Maybe normal for this cut. Slightly salty for my taste but good flavor. Solid other than the meat texture. Will try a different sandwich next time

The spinach artichoke bites were also delicious,I'd happily have an entire calzone of those! But the real star was the "mini" s'mores calzone... and it definitely wasn't mini! It came with chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, and marshmallows, and tasted just like a campfire treat. Perfect with fall right around the corner, and I'd order it again as my main meal next time!

Pro tip: order the half and half meal, half salad (solid size) and a mini calzone…read more The chicken caesar salad was so good, and arguably better than the calzones. If you're dining with someone, it may be best to get a full size salad and full size calzone, as the mini is mostly the bread (with less stuffing). As visitors driving through, we enjoyed the local soda machines and appreciated the local vibe in the neighborhood.

I was finally able to go here yesterday and I loved it. It feels like a true American burger joint…read more When you enter, you order at the counter and the food is then brought to your table. Service was great at both the counter and the table. I had the Split & Melt which was delicious. Crispy smash patties, gooey cheese, buttery bread. I also opted to add heirloom tomato to it which added a nice brightness to it. My mom ordered the double, which she said was amazing. We ordered a variety of sides to share. The mac and cheese was amazing, the onion rings were flavorful and crispy, and the fries were also very well seasoned and crispy. Overall, everything was a 10/10. Also, I loved that their fountain sodas are Excel sodas. Will definitely be back to try their draft beers and more burgers!

Food: The burger? Excellent. One of my favorite smash burgers in the city. The fries? Just ok…read more Maybe it was an off day, but they didn't taste much different to me than a regular fry. Price: All together, with a dollar tip, I paid $27 and change, which to me is incredibly pricey for counter service. $2 for a dipping sauce is steep, and for a small container. Next time? I'd skip the dipping sauce and homemade lemonade to save $7. I'll be back but not running to pay this much again. The storefront: the direct out front, small parking lot was packed and people were going into the gated lot to find parking. Only one person working the counter when you first walk in which lead to a long line at the dinner rush that seemed to be moving pretty slow. We got in before the rush and got our food quickly after. Staff were kind and very helpful! Fairly clean with the food runners circling tables often to remove trash.

Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

*Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.

Press Pizza & Pasta was such a great find! The food was amazing. We ordered the Tagliatelle,…read morePappardelle, Bucatini, and the Toasted Raviolo pizza. Everything was delicious! I'd say it's definitely a "sharing" spot, which I love, perfect for a group of friends, but also great for solo entrées since the portions work either way. During my visit, there was a bit of a delay: our pizza dish took longer than our pastas, but our server handled it really well and stayed super sweet throughout. So, it didn't take away too much from the experience. Overall, this place is a hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn't busier, considering how great the food and service were. Just a heads-up: parking can be really tricky since it's neighborhood street parking, so if you get lucky, you get lucky. Definitely worth a visit!
