While visiting The Foundry, we decided to try Four Hens Creole Kitchen and ordered their shrimp and…read moregrits. As someone who doesn't get the opportunity to have shrimp and grits very often, it's something I always look forward to ordering when I find it on a menu. We were actually debating whether or not to get it when someone else in line recommended it and told us how delicious it was. I'm glad we listened! The grits were creamy and had a lot of Cajun seasoning, which I thought worked really well. They weren't quite as cheesy as I personally would have liked, but the flavor was still delicious, with just a little bit of smokiness. I also appreciated that despite all the seasoning, the dish wasn't too spicy for me. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the overall texture of the dish was spot on. We paired the shrimp and grits with a grilled cheese flight from Steve's Meltdown, another vendor at The Foundry, and the two ended up going surprisingly well together. This wasn't quite the best shrimp and grits I've ever had, but I'd easily put it at number two, which is still pretty high praise. If you're at The Foundry and craving shrimp and grits, Four Hens Creole Kitchen is definitely worth a try.

Okay. Just okay. I ordered the crawfish and grits to go, which was onthe runny and bland side. The…read morefood is seasoned, but it lacked depth. And you're not going to City Foundry's food hall for a cheap meal, but $20 for the portion size, plus an undisclosed 10% service charge just to include a lid seemed a bit much. Anyway, 4 Hens Creole was something between underwhelming and disappointing. The service was more or less fine though. And they were unfortunately out of bread pudding.

Chef Pat's Kitchen - St. Louis Review…read more Hot Braised Turkey Ribs: I'd give these a 5.5/10. They weren't bad, just not for me. The flavor was decent, but the texture and taste of turkey ribs in general just didn't win me over. I can see other people really liking them though. Naked Lemon Pepper Wings: These were good -- crispy, seasoned well, and cooked right. I'd definitely order these again. Chef Pat's Special Bowl (with chicken): Mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, and gravy all together real comfort food and a solid choice. Caramel Cake: Fire. Moist, sweet, and tastes homemade. Overall, Chef Pat's is worth a visit if you're in St. Louis and want soul food with no pork options, big portions, and quick service. Some items were hits for me, some just okay, but I'm glad I tried it.

I got catfish, Mac and cheese, grits, and cabbage. It was all amazing, authentic and flavorful. The grits had just enough pepper to give dimension and what I came back for the next day. So I am not a fish or seafood person, but something told me that I needed to try the catfish. I am so glad I did. It reminded me of my grandfather that was crispy, seasoned, and delicious. Of course I did have to add a little hot sauce. Overall place is clean,friendly, and enjoyable. It has lots of light that gives it an airy feel. It is worth a try!

Stopped at City Foundry to grab food. It has been a bit since I have been here. Tuesdays are…read morepopping! I walked around to see what was new and make up my mind. Sorry to say, a lot of the employees behind the counter were disinterested in engaging with customers. I narrowed it down to Fordo's and Chicken Scratch and since I recently had Fordo's at Urban Chestnut, so I went to Chicken Scratch. They offered a rotisserie chicken quarter with a side. I wanted a salad but not Kale with lemon parmesan so I asked if they could just give me the mixed greens with vinaigrette and he was accommodating and nice about it. Made me so happy to be heathier than fries or slaw. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, and I loved the mixed greens with vinaigrette! Now when I have a choice, I will remember how nice they were and they made my meal great for me!

Came in on a sunday. Looked at the menu and decided to get two (3pc)chicken leg plates listed at…read more$10 each. When checking out, the bill came to $42. I told the young lady behind the counter that we only got 2 plates and the order should be $20 total. She said no, today is soul food sunday and everything is $20. I didn't quite understand that but my daughter was hungry and we wanted to try this place, so.....sure ok. Brought the food home and was missing 2 sides, the cornbread, and we asked for fried chicken legs and got baked. I drove back up and informed the lady at the counter, she wanted to argue since I didn't bring the food back with me, so I was like ok whatever can I please get the baked beans and cornbread we ordered. She said ok and bagged up the cornbread and 2 sealed ramekins which i figured were the beans. Got home again and opened the ramekins to find HOT SAUCE, not the side of beans we ordered. So the food was twice the price listed, received the wrong food and missing sides, went back up for missing food and the correct order, was denied the correct order and was given hot sauce instead of the sides we payed for after driving back. The onion rings are store bought frozen junk, not sure how the beans are since we never received them, the baked chicken was good even though we ordered fried, and apparently "soul food Sunday" is just an excuse to charge double. Worst takeout experience I've ever had. Stay away.
