Bar area
John K.

I got the Thursday lunch special which was a double smash burger with American cheese topped with pulled pork and bbq sauce and a side of sweet potato fries. The smash burgers with the pulled pork was delicious. The pulled pork needs to be chopped a lot more so you can get pieces of the smash burger and pulled pork in each bite. The sweet potato fries were not served hot. The fries needed more seasoning. The restaurant was very busy and had a party vibe going on. I got excellent service sitting at the bar.

This was a hopping place on a Friday night!! They shoved 8 Adults and 2 kids in a little alcove at the bar so Thank God we like each other!!! The food was ok.... The Best were the Onion Rings and Pretzel Bites. The Wings were Luke warm and has sauce just dumped in them. My Salad was the last to come out as I think they forgot it. Please stay away from the Fish n Chips. These were not good. And I hate to say it.. but it was.

Stopped at Helen's for happy hour and as always the place was rocking!!! We only came for one but the band for the evening was Trixie Delight...and the place was packed! Very cute decor for the holidays!! Check it out!

Helen Fitzgerald's is good, but not great. It's been around for a long time, and it has a similar menu to Syberg's. Our server was friendly, and the food was alright. I got the Chicken Tender Wrap with Syberg Sauce. No complaints but wasn't wowed. Overall, an aging restaurant but not the worst in the area.

Food is always great here! Honestly, you can't go wrong with about anything on the menu. It's a casual dining area but the bar is huge. Can get pretty loud sometimes, but definitely plenty of room and they have a party room in the back for group banquets. Service was so nice. Liam took great care of us this time and checked in plenty! He was great and the staff bussing and food running were so friendly! Love this place and will continue to suggest it!

Met up with some friends for a drink here, and am still trying to figure this place out. They were on the restaurant side when we got there and had already eaten. When we arrived the waiter came by and asked if we wanted a drink. No menus or drink list. Took a while to get 2 beers, and we had to ask about a menu to pick an appetizer. Beer was room temp and filled to 2 different levels. Just odd service. Next time, I think I'll try the bar side and see if it makes more sense, still not sure why this place is so popular.

Coconut shrimp special
Tom K.

Went to Helen Fitzgeralds and ate on the patio the service was a little slow about 20 minutes to get our drink order at first but after that it was consistent. I had the shrimp special and my wife got the roast beef sandwich with beer cheese sauce on the side. My shrimp was perfect fried crispy and tender on the inside. My wife's roast beef was delicious and the cheese sauce very flavorful. We also both had side salads with our entrées the greens order perfect lots of tomato and cheese very tasty. The patio is just a patio but it was just nice to get outside for it was a nice night.

The food is average bar food. The service was slow slow slow! We sat down and waited ten minutes for a service then we couldn't find her for anything. We now remember why we only go there for the bands and NOT the food.

Christmas tree inside

Helen Fitzgerald's is a large restaurant and has a large bar area. They had it decorated beautifully for Christmas and I really enjoyed the festive trees. Our experience was good, but not perfect. There was apparently a banquet going on in a private room so our service was very slow. We got the Pot O Gold to share which came with Syberg's wings, t-ravs, sygoons, potato skins, and pretzel bites. They were all delicious. My favorite were the sygoons and wings. My husband liked the t-ravs and he doesn't even usually like pretzels but he enjoyed the pretzel bites. I got the potato soup and it was hot and yummy. My husband had the buffalo chicken pizza with the new NootBaar Sauce. He liked it, but sadly it came to the table cold. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed it.

The chicken strip salad is one of my solid stl spots for the same meal over and over. I always get the chicken strip salad and it hits every time. I usually do grilled chicken but if I'm feeling it I'll order it with the crispy. Their wing sauce is one of my favorite sauces ever and I often have a bottle in the fridge at home. I also got a side order of fries this visit which obviously added to the delicious experience. It's simple and delicious bar food, what isn't to like :) server was super attentive and helpful. Can't wait for my next chicken strip salad adventure!

Enjoyed a holiday party here and this place was so packed! The parking isn't the greatest and I parked next door in the parking lot like many other people I seen walking to the restaurant. Although it was busy, it wasn't crowded moving around. We had a great "room" and a table for 8. Our server was attentive, kind and provided great service. Everyone ordered their own meal of choice. The Syberger was my choice with a side salad and others at my group ordered everything from salad, chicken strips to Philly sandwiches. Also tried a few apps at the table. All was delicious and served timely even though all the tables were full!

Walk in and there are plenty of tables, a couple of gathering areas, standing room narrow tables, an outdoor area, and a room off to the side.

Wednesday nights they have Trivia and I stayed for the first round, it was very current for the current event category. Get a pizza from Katie's, go here, have a beer, have fun!

Bartender was friendly and offered to keep a tab. Lots of parking. Loved this place!

Parking can be tough since it's in downtown Kirkwood, but there is a large lot next door with lots of spaces.

Tonight was an unacceptable outlier!…read more We've enjoyed Billy G's for years, and they have one of the best patios for live music. We've generally had good experiences there, a few that were so-so, but tonight was awful! The sign out front reads "see hostess inside for patio seating, so we made our way to the hostess stand. I asked the young lady that greeted us if we needed to be seated for the chairs along the railing, or just tables? I was told "just the tables, other chairs are open seating". Then I asked to confirm that there were servers for the chairs on the railing, to which she replied "yes, but only for drinks and apps". Perfect - that's what we wanted. We proceeded to sit at two bar stools along the railing in front of the stage, and waited to be served. And waited. And waited. And waited. No one ever acknowledged that we were there, much less took our order. The waitress serving the three tables next to us visited them repeatedly, but never so much as made eye contact with us. After about 20 minutes, I walked back to the hostess stand and asked "do you know who is supposed to be our server? We've been there 20 minutes, and no one has helped us." The hostess said she'd check into it, and I went back to my seat. Over the next 15 minutes, the same server visited the three tables near us, but never acknowledged us. Then, another server waited on a lady sitting at the fir pit. I'd hoped that maybe she was going to help us, but she took the one order and walked back inside. WE WALKED OUT! Like I said, once loved the place. Not sure if they can't keep good staff, or if their success at the location has left them feeling like they no longer need to try, but the place has definitely lost the magic it once had.
