We've been to this bar and grill twice since moving to town. Both times we fully enjoyed everything! Bartenders/waiters were pleasant. Food was really good! Lots of large screen TVs. Tator Tots and chips are great! We've had their fried tacos, BBQ sandwich, pizza, wings and jalapeño poppers. Will definitely go back there try other things on the menu! read more

This bar screams hometown and was full of people that matched the description. It was a packed night when my friends and I visited, and like any busy bar it took a minute to get to the front of the line. The music was loud and fun, I liked the variety of genres. Their selection of beers on tap was limited, but they had a variety of beers otherwise. We didn't get food so I can't speak to that but if you are looking for a bar, it's a great option in St Joe! read more

Stopped while I was in town working, classic old-school formica topped bar, awesome salad and food, and a great bartender (Logan I'm talking to you). If you are in town looking for some great food and a drink definitely stop in. read more

I've been to the Hi-Ho twice in a 12 year span. My 1st visit was late night drinks and we had a great time with the locals, we actually left just so we could experience more of St Joe and realized later that we should have stayed there. My second visit was a Sunday afternoon when we our first 7 places we wanted to eat at were closed. Nothing is open in DT St. Joe on a Sunday! I ordered the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños as a starter and the Three Pigs sandwich. The jalapeños were scrumptious but small and pricey at 6 for $9. The sandwich was very bland, the tenderloin was more like a small breaded pork chop deep fried with bacon and some mass produced pulled pork. Just OK. If and when I get back to St. Joe; Hi-Ho you will be the first place I drink at and the last place I eat at. Bar - 4 stars Food 2.5 stars read more

Hi-Ho Bar & Grill - 3 Pigs. Thick tenderloin w/ pulled pork & bacon - Bars Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Absolutely the best pizza & tacos in town! Wish they would serve Redd's Apple. I know they have Angry Orchard but it's not the same!

It was not all that good the last time was there service was not that great took a long time for our food

Literally fantastic, got a burger and it was fantastic. The place is known for its chips, and I'm not a chip guy normally but no complaints. Steak was OK read more

Not great food. The burger disappointed for sure. Really nice person serving us, but the review is for the food and it just wasn't really a good choice while passing through St Joe's. read more

Great bar and grill. Enjoyed Bloody Mary's and fried tacos! Was there on a Sunday afternoon lots of regulars.

Hi-Ho? More like Ho-Hum. If you are hungry ... don't waste your money. Again, Yelp reviewers raved about the food here, so we gave it a try. What a disappointment! It seems as though low expectations have become the norm among many customers in the region because I am continuously shocked by how appalling food and service turn out to be at places with four and five-star ratings (out of five). The highlight here was the nice guy behind the bar. The lowlights were the food, the prices, and his rude, blonde, female companion. The companion, a young, blonde woman in her twenties, worked behind the bar and as a server. When we first arrived, I had to get out of her way as she forced her way past me to get to a table, no "excuse me", nothing. Then, after I noticed that a couple of drunk guys had turned the TV I was watching the National League Division Series between the Cubs and the Cardinals on away from me (so they could watch it - again, without asking), I asked her if I could please continue watching the game we had taken that table specifically to see. She said: "well, they've been at that table all day", to which I replied "so?". She finally went over and turned the TV back in our direction after rolling her eyes. She then ignored us for 15 minutes until the nice guy behind the bar came over to take our order. I almost left at that point and probably should have looking back, but we decided to stay and ordered a few different things to sample the menu. As appetizers, we had a beef "slider" with cheese ($3.58) and a deep-fried beef taco ($2.79). The slider was a tiny piece of frozen meat with American cheese between two tiny bun halves, that was it. Hardly worth the price. The taco was in a greasy flour tortilla, but otherwise was not bad, but overpriced by $.29 to $.79. For our mains, we had a patty melt with onion rings ($8.99) and a Cuban sandwich with fries ($9.49). The patty melt's beef patty was small, there was hardly any cheese, the onions were almost raw (not "grilled"), and the onion rings tasted of fish because the frier obviously had not been cleaned in quite a while. The Cuban tasted decent, but there was not nearly enough meat or cheese and the fries were "OK". Overall, the service was sketchy, the food mediocre at best, the prices too high, and the value just not there. CombatCritic Gives Hi-Ho Bar And Grill 3 Out Of 10 Bombs ... Bombs Are Good! read more

I really enjoy the bar and Grill on the weekend. The staff are quick and efficient without being intrusive. That is a tough combo during such a busy time. Mark is a witty barkeep with fast service. Still going strong.Service is quick and delightfu! read more

Decent bar. Clean, kinda clicky but overall alright. Been going there for years. Decent food as well.

Just here to drink for Snake Saturday, so far friendly people, small narrow bar on oringle side but open seating next door w a second bar. Crowed but was not difficult to get a beer read more

A good place to relax and enjoy a good meal. The place was clean and the atmosphere was friendly. The waitress was nice and helpful. There was a good selection of food on the menu. The chicken wings that I ate were very tasty. If I go back to St. Joseph, MO., I would be willing to return to the Hi Ho bar and grill. read more

Even here a lot before so not sure if this is a one time thing. The poppers were burnt the Memphis Ruben sandwich that I asked the bread be toasted well. It was lite and soggy as all **** The homemade chips were dripping grease So yes this was a very bad visit read more

Best bar ever! Great food. Great Service. Best Place in town to watch the game. 27+ TVs. Never a cover. read more

We went for the fish races. I'm glad that they support such an awesome cause. Get the vodka bombs on special- they were only $3 a piece and taste really good. Lots of different flavor options! Service was a little slow, but they were super busy. read more

Love the environment and the food. The salads are delicious. My go to app is the jalapeño poppers.

Excellent place for a stop after a Black Friday shopping experience with my wife and daughter. Give the tacos and tenderloin with brisket a try. Sierra grande on tap to boot. read more

Hi-Ho Bar & Grill - Bars Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

I was visiting friends in St. Joseph, when I found Hi-Ho Bar & Grill. In a nutshell, small yet charming. It's a great local bar that serves delicious food. I enjoyed wings and an ice-cold beer, but they have an extensive menu with an excellent array of choices. I'm from Southern California, walking into Hi-Ho reminded me of walking into a local beach bar. Friendly patrons, reasonable food and drink prices, and amiable staff. A fun place to watch a game with friends or hang out and relax. I'm happy I found Hi-Ho and had the opportunity to experience a local hangout. read more

This is somewhere between dive and Applebee's/54th/Chilis. The gift here is the food is great and the service is super friendly. Highlights include the house made bleu chips with bacon and the roast beef BLT. Phenomenal! read more

I went to this St Joe bar while in town for a funeral. Not the happiest of affairs. There was just four of us at 2:30 on a Thursday so it certainly wasn't crowded. The drinks were pretty cheap although the service was slow. I'll credit that to being there in the middle of the afternoon (usually the slower the place, the worse the service, ironically). We told the bartender taking care of us why we were there and I also got the impression he was being kind and giving us space... and yet it still took us 1 1/2 hours to order drinks and food and to finish. Definitely a much slower pace than most of the bars and grills i go to. As far as ambiance, I mean, this is a true dive bar. Dingy and dark, I'm sure it used to be the type of place where you could wipe yellow smoke tar off the tables if you'd liked. It's not too bad now, at least. Clean anyway. If I wanted a dive bar in St Joe, I probably won't pick this place again. The food was usual fare and noting too fancy. I got the tenderloin and it was definitely left in a fryer for a couple minutes too long. Maybe if we'd come a couple hours later when there were more wait/kitchen staff, it would've been a smoother experience. read more

The Spicy Honey BBQ wings were awesome. The sauce was nice and thick which helped it cling to the wings. Beer is good. Chill atmosphere. Service can be sketchy at times, but this time the staff was adequate. read more

Hi-Ho Bar & Grill - Sammies - Bars Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Good food. They become extremely busy on weekend nights. Even before they stop serving food. I assume it's because it is so good.

Great food, had the tenderloin. Staff was fun and friendly. Be ready to order when you get here though! Not the fastest service but amazing food read more

Honestly like this place a lot. Nice bar, friendly staff and locals, pretty good food. I'd avoid the burger, overcooked and dried. The pork tenderloin and the house made chips are pretty good though. read more

Watched a Packers game here. Atmosphere was nice. Staff were nice. Ordered typical bar food and it was good. Will come back again!

The food was very good. My wife had a Reuben and I had the Three Pigs. The chips that came with each sandwich were exceptional. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

This is probably the best bar in St. Joe. Totally chill, with usually cool people there. Sometimes they have live music, which is fun. It does get crowded on the weekends, especially around the holidays, when everyone is back in town. read more

Their Cuban sandwich is absolutely the best Cuban I've ever had. In addition on Mondays they have a Beefburger that's close in taste to the original BucketShop beefburger read more

To each his own HiHo! Love the food, love the atmosphere. Plenty of tv's for all to enjoy!! Can't make some people happy. It's hard to believe that sooo many people are happy with HiHo and the one person's opinion should trump all the good opinions! read more

First timer to Hi-Ho as I was visiting my son at MWSU. We went there on recommendations from a few friends, and the reviews were good so we ventured there for lunch today. As we walked in a few people looked at us like, "Who are these people?", but that is to be expected in a smaller town. The waitress walked over, never said hello, and just asked what we wanted to drink - that was a bit of a turnoff. She did warm up to us (a little) during our visit and we realized there was a pub crawl (we got to see Superman!) :) going on so she might have just been run ragged. Now the food...it was GOOD! So good that my son said that was going to be his new weekend spot - it's usually Applebee's or 54th Street. The tenderloins could have been taken out of the fryer about 2 minutes sooner but it didn't matter because the stuff on the sandwich (hot sauce, pepperjack, and BACON) was tasty, the other tenderloin had bacon, brisket and BBQ Sauce - yum! His girlfriend had a hamburger and she said it was really good too. We'll definitely be back because we really did like it and it's great to venture out and try something different and local. read more

The food at the Hi-Ho is exceptional considering it is a dive bar. And I say dive in all respect. I love dive bars and Hi-Ho is on the cusp of being one. It is still a smoking establishment which drops a star in my rating, but during good weather, the diningroom opens to outside air and makes all the difference. They have a great assortment of tenderloin sandwiches! read more

There are a few reasons I like this place. First it's a bar and grill and the grill is actually good. The food here is better than most of the pure food joints in town. The hi ho Cuban, the old man pizza and the hi ho chips are a few of my favorites For working lunches we often times roll In there 4 or 5 people deep. Request a large quiet table with power and sit there for hours while we work and meet. It's perfect. The wifi is good and the service is good. Every few years they update something. The owners seem to put money back u to their business and that's easy to see when you walk in. It has the local bar feel on one side and the other side is great for dinner, private events Etc. I've had a birthday party there and a few working meetings per month and the service is always the same If your from out of town, it's worth visiting. If your local then you already know.

Great food and amazing service, both bartenders were all over the customers making sure they had everything they wanted. The food was amazing and get the chips with Cajun spice on it. read more

Excellent service. We came in when they were really busy and planning for a party. Despite that, they accommodated us quickly and took great care of us. The food was excellent too. We will definitely be back. read more

We were told that Hi-ho was the spot in town for a good drink and a good time. Well that wasn't our experience hen we came in for a drink Sunday night. There was a football game on so we were expecting at least a solid crowd but literally there were 3 other people in there. They were locals and knew the bartender so grabbed his attention. Hi-ho has a nice bar, but bad beer selection. The a rinse also wasn't knowledgable but was actually attentive and accommodating considering the locals kept starting up conversations. Nice local place but not a must stop. read more

We have ordered hamburgers and French fries numerous times for dine in and carry out. They used to be great but the last two times the food has been awful. There will not be a 3rd bad experience. Their portions have decreased a bunch and their prices haven't. We just got a hamburger and fries and a cheeseburger and fries and got home and there was just meat and bun ( and cheese on the one) NO KETCHUP....NO Mustard....NO PICKLES.....NO LETTUCE....NO TOMATO.......NOTHING. For almost 19.00 and tiny hamburgers and stale fries that is ridiculous. I could have made a better meal for 5.00. We will not go back. read more

Hi-Ho put off some good vibes as soon as you walk in the door. Tons of TVs for the sports junkie, and awesome beer specials for everyone else! Can't beat $5 pitchers! To top it off, the burgers are pretty bomb! I definitely recommend getting the Hi-Ho chips, which are homemade potato chips right out of the grease. read more
