We were greeted very warmly and the woman who served us was friendly and chatted with us in a way I feel like you don't experience much in customer service anymore. They have a pretty extensive menu with several items I'll have to return to try. They have a 10% military discount which was nice. They also have a 3% cc processing fee they waive if you pay in cash or with a debit card. They also have high chairs. I ordered the six piece shrimp which comes with two sides; I ordered fries and hush puppies. Their drinks are huge! My husband ordered the gumbo, which was very flavorful and just a tad spicy, not so spicy you couldn't eat it. He really enjoyed the bread that came with it. We also ordered corn nuggets and fried green tomatoes, which I can't resist. They were both so good! The fried green tomatoes were thin and crispy and every so often you would get this hint of salt, the perfect amount without being salty. They have ranch, ketchup, and a house sauce and my shrimp came with some cocktail sauce. My husband loved the corn nuggets. We had food left over to take home. It's bigger inside than I expected with plenty of seating. This place was a hit and we will be back!

    Peacemaker Lobster and Crab was absolutely amazing. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food because…read morethere were so many things on the menu we wanted to try, and somehow, nearly everything we ordered was a hit. We started with Stella on tap, which just felt appropriate while visiting St. Louis, especially after touring the nearby Anheuser-Busch brewery. It was easily one of the freshest Stellas we've ever had. For food, we tried the lobster mac and cheese, lobster bisque with pieces of lobster, a pound of steamed crab legs, fried green tomatoes, and the warm lobster roll. The lobster roll was phenomenal. We shared it, but I honestly could have eaten the entire sandwich myself. The real standout, though, was just how perfectly the seafood was cooked. Both the lobster and crab were juicy, sweet, and tender with just the right amount of chew. Nothing was rubbery or overcooked, but it wasn't soft or mushy either. I genuinely don't think they could have cooked the seafood any better. The fried green tomatoes were also cooked perfectly and something I was excited to try since you don't see them on every menu. Unfortunately, they were a little too spicy for my personal taste, so we didn't finish them, but that's definitely more about my spice tolerance than the quality of the dish. The atmosphere was another plus. It's a really cute setup with great ambiance, and our server was wonderful. We also walked right in without a reservation and had no wait at all, which has honestly been one of our favorite things about eating our way through St. Louis. Coming from California, we're used to having to plan ahead for popular restaurants, sometimes weeks in advance. Here, we've been able to discover some fantastic places without having to plan our entire trip around restaurant reservations. I will say, this was probably the most expensive meal of our trip. The one pound of steamed crab legs was $65 market price, and the lobster roll was $37 market price, so Peacemaker definitely isn't the cheapest place we've eaten. That said, considering the quality of the seafood and how much we enjoyed everything, it was absolutely worth the splurge. From the crab legs to the lobster roll to the bisque and mac and cheese, everything we tried was delicious. Combine that with the atmosphere, great service, and being able to walk right in, and this was easily one of our favorite meals in St. Louis. I'm actually hoping I can convince some of my coworkers from my training class to go back with me before I leave Missouri. I think that probably says everything you need to know about how much I enjoyed it.

    The Service and food Never disappoint! The staff are all great. They are friendly and knowledgeable…read moreof the menu. The food is delicious We had the Shrimp Boil and the Cold Crab Roll. The vibe is chill. And great place for great food and to come and enjoy great company!

There were many options for putting together a seafood boil. We were wanting something more simple for this meal, so we decided to get the baskets. I had the oyster basket with sweet potato fries and my friend had the shrimp basket. Both were very good and there was loads of food. We each had a delicious margarita. We will be back sometime to try one of the seafood boils.

The other couple arrived first and asked to wait at the bar until we arrived only to be told that the bar was closed (4:00 pm on a Friday) because they did not have a bar tender. The couple was seated at a table and was then told that they could not order a drink. We arrived and were greeted with the same news. Instead of leaving and going to the Olive Garden next door, we stuck it out. A young kid (21 yo maybe?) came to our table and informed us that he was the manager and the bar tender! My friend and I agreed on a beer each and the young manager agreed to have drinks delivered to our table. Long story short, the food was not good (shrimp should have been easy), service was even worse and the drinks were not worth the hassle. We won't be back and will discourage others from dining there.

We were able to get a table on the patio where there's live music. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone playing while we were there. There had been music earlier and there would be some later, but not in the time we were there. Maybe next time! Our server was Anya and she was great! We placed drink orders and then had the tough choice of deciding what we were going to eat. We decided to start with the Alligator Sausage & Shrimp Cheesecake. Sounds weird, but it's delicious! It is in no way a traditional cheesecake. I've added a photo of it, but it was after I had already cut it up. It comes out looking like a piece of pie. I looked at the menu and went to my fave - Shrimp Voodoo Tacos. They were so good! It came with a "side" of Jambalaya. The side was a full dinner portion! In fact, I was so full, I brought the whole serving home and my husband had it for dinner and it filled him up. He got the Fried Oysters. It's a great place for people watching. The last time we were there, a woman walked in with a birdcage and bird. You don't see that every day in a restaurant! The place is just good food, good drinks, and good vibes. We'll definitely be back!
