Ours was Ashley and she was attentive and informative. The meat lovers omelet I had was just like me at the end of my meal, stuffed. Most omelets that I have had, which is a lot, that say they have cheese in them, the cheese is hard to find. But not here, the cheese ( your choice of cheese, was front and center. My hash browns were crispy nor soft and soggy. My wife ordered her eggs like she enjoys them and they were not exactly right so Ashley took them back and the next set were, to quote my wife, the BEST, she has ever had. The sausage she got is made right there and was outstanding. We learned from Ashley that the owners were in the kitchen fixing the food and source the burgers and steaks from their own cattle. They also bake the pies and cakes on site. We now have a place to bring visitors to our home in Saint James, such a real great find. The bathroom was neat and clean and parking is plenty and an easy walk for older patrons. Please stop in and let them know that the 'spoon player' sent you. Plus they do offer a military discount Oh and great music for dining ambience

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. My husband and I had a phenomenal meal and we will be back to sample more.

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.

Our server Hailey was very bubbly and welcoming from the start. She made sure we took our time to figure out what we all wanted. Took my dad out for early father's day lunch. We all got sweet tea. Husband went with the all you can eat chicken option. Which they do that on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can mix/match dark or white meat. You get all the sides. Dumplings, mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn, coleslaw, and apple sauce. He was full and definitely enjoyed the chicken. My dad did the chicken meal 2 dinner with 2 sides. I have food left over for later. I was so full. Food came out in timely manner. And for what we paid in total with 3 people wasnt too shabby. Theor parking lot is off to the side and wraps around l. They do have aome street side parking. Or some park across the way in a lot. Good ol days Is a staple in new baden. When you're burnt out on going to chains like cracker barrel.

It is a Trojan horse for one of the best burgers in St. Louis (my wife says I'm being dramatic for calling it THE best; I say I am not NOT going back for another). We enjoyed everything we order: the pork belly burnt ends and cashew chicken wings, and a coffee & cardamom old fashioned that sounds like a personality disorder but tastes like a vibe, smoky, a touch sweet, and very drinkable year-round. The Sam Elliott burger, BBQ sauce, bacon, crunchy onions, brioche, is named for a man who has never disappointed anyone, and neither does the sandwich. And the meatloaf is NOT your grandma's brick: tender, charred at the edges, laid over silky mashed potatoes with broccolini, perhaps closer to a chop steak than a loaf in the best possible way. Vibe is farm-chic: old church pews, repurposed interior doors, a proper bar up front, plus a patio and rooftop for when the weather cooperates. Fun fact -- it's named after the blue duck Billy Madison paints in elementary school, which is a fantastic piece of trivia and tells you absolutely nothing accurate about the actual restaurant. 4.7 Stars. Picking Nits: the counter-order setup is efficient, but it sets expectations in the wrong direction for the first 90 seconds, you brace for fast-casual and instead get something considerably more ambitious. Food comes out fast once you've ordered, which is great if you're hungry and slightly jarring if you wanted a slow, lingering dinner. And the Billy Madison naming is charming trivia but entirely misleading as a vibe preview, no complaints about the actual restaurant, just the branding expectations it sets. If The Blue Duck were a character: Ron Swanson. Hear me out. If Ron ate here, he'd be suspicious of the entire experience until his first bite of protein -- the counter ordering, the repurposed doors, a burger named after a fellow mustachioed American, all of it registering as potentially too clever. Then the Sam Elliott hits his plate, he takes one bite, and the skepticism dissolves into the quiet respect of a man who has found his people. Looks rustic. Has strong feelings about meat. Secretly sophisticated -- plays saxophone in a jazz club under a fake name, builds his own furniture, would 100% approve of the farm-chic decor once the protein has spoken. Presents as simple. Isn't.

Lisa's is located next to Rocher Pub but she was running a fish buffet that night so we chose it. If you enter from the front off Market Street that's the bar but there's a door marked restaurant inside. If you come in the back where there's a parking lot it's the restaurant. There was no wait at 5:30. Little later there was & even though the seat yourself sign was out, they were helping people find tables. I had the fish buffet. It's only offered the second Friday of the month. About half the customers were eating it. There was fried catfish & cod, a baked fish, popcorn shrimp, stewed tomatoes, Mac & chz, hush puppies, fried potatoes, frog legs & onion rings on the hot bar. Salads were in bowls atop ice; potato salad, coleslaw. Cocktail & tarter sauces in premade cups. Bread & onion slices offered. Dessert was 2 homemade cakes in aluminum 13x9's; Orange jello poke and a spice cake. My husband had the fried chicken. It's fresh cooked so it takes awhile - I was pretty well done with mine when his arrived. He got the 4 piece & I sampled it with some crispy onion rings from the buffet. Mmmm. I saw people drinking beers so the servers can get drinks from the bar. The spice cake ran out quickly & the girl who brought a new one had no idea what kind it was. Might've been carrot but it wasn't overly spicy like some. I see why it was popular. The inside is bright & cheery, historical photos line the walls. The staff was all working hard & the only exception between service the locals got & us was that they called each other by name. If you're familiar with the advice to always eat bread with fish, you know I appreciated the white bread slices & onion. I wish I had the recipes for both those thin crispy onion rings & the potato salad. Since we had a cooler, a piece of that fried chicken ended up in my husband's lunch on Monday- still tasted great. No doubt about it, we'll be back.

I could get vegan eggs and vegan bacon, and my friends could get their chicken eggs and turkey bacon. My favorites here were the vegan milkshakes, pancakes, vegan bacon, brussels sprouts, and the shrimp po'boy. Unfortunately, I'm speaking of them in past tense because as of tonight, 09May, they have permanently closed. My family and I were some of the very last customers. They were out of all my favorites, so it was extra sad for me. I ended up trying the tacos for the first time. They were cool. But I'm surely going miss my favorites! The owners also own Frida's and Diego's, off Delmar and North & South. I personally don't care for the food at either one, but rumor has it, they might bring some of the Station No 3 favs over to one of these restaurants (which are right next door to each other).

They also seem to have a full bar. There was a Wednesday happy hour when we were there $9 old fashioned and potato skins.

Fit with a patio and large bar inside, enjoy a drink here from their regular or seasonal cocktail list. The family-friendly restaurant is spacious and can easily accommodate large parties. Service is always friendly and professional even when they get extremely busy during weekend brunch hours. Everyone here seems hardworking and attentive to guest needs. The restaurant itself is designed so cool like a retro diner with nostalgic items like band posters and Atari games at the back of the restaurant.
