I like to see it busy on a Saturday, so interesting to see what others have in their carts and chat…read moreabout some of the things they are making! Everyone is so friendly, from other shoppers to the staff who checks in to see if you need anything. I was looking for Tuna, but when I saw the selection, I couldn't remember which type I needed so that just means I will have to go back! I bought a large jar of capers because I can never have enough of them and I happened upon a frozen Seafood Mix Mediterranean PanaPesca. This looks really good and I think it is for a pasta dish, I will try it and see. I wish I had known when we were there that we were going to have winter weather this weekend! I would have purchased a lot more and if you need to know this, they have fresh yeast cakes. I would have purchased it to make St. Louis school cafeteria rolls.

Looooove this place! Everyone here was so incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved talking to…read moreeveryone and they helped us pick out some really great food which has kept our bellies full since we got home weeks ago. I'm so happy we checked this place out. Can't wait to come back!!

This is a gem for the city! You can get your taste of Italy without leaving St. Louis. Fresh meats…read moreand cheeses take you back for sure. I love I can go get Italian meats and cheeses to recreate my favorite Italian dishes. You walk in and you might as well be in Italy! Just a cute mom and pop deli with friendly staff who love to engage in conversations. I could have talked and ate with them all day! Great prices too! Some items better priced than the local stores. I love going down here to get my meats and cheeses. Go try them out and get some sandwiches and snacks too!

I got the Hometown Hero sandwich, which was really fantastic. Mortadella, Genoa salami, provolone,…read moregarlic aïoli with some nice fresh lettuce and tomato. It was on an absolutely perfect hoagie roll from local bakery Union Loafers, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in a while. In addition to the sandwich, I picked up some beautiful beef jerky, an "end" of mortadella, and a couple of other goodies. Service was quick and friendly and it was a really great stop and I really like that they do not use sodium nitrite in their products, they are all natural! And very tasty. This was the first time visiting this place, although I've passed it many times. Shame on me! I was missing out on some real deliciousness.

It was a very busy, I sat at the bar and grabbed a drink. It's my food was being freshly prepared. Chicken sandwich was phenomenal! Super tasty. That's where the homemade tots. This is definitely a great spot to get some chicken! Service was great also.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Didn't venture out to the patio, I'm sure there were lots of World…read moreCup fans out there and there were some inside. Go in on the Byrd and Barrel side of Tamm Ave Bar and place your order at the counter, get a table number and find a seat in one of the rooms. You can order drinks from the bar, but I just had water. I usually go for the Nugz but this time wanted to stay away from fried options so I got the STL salad, minus cheese and the summer sandwich also without cheese, cause I am a weirdo about cheese. We sat in the next room over at a high-top table. Our food was delivered in a timely manner by a friendly server. The STL salad was great, lots of peppadews, tomatoes, and onion. The dressing was just right, not too much and had a bright, vinegary flavor. The sandwich came on a brioche bun and it was so soft! I was happy with the sandwich, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the avocado ranch was good. Great for a late Sunday lunch, quick and easy with good service and great food!

First, let me tell me why I gave Heavy Riff a 4. Ordering is wonky. You have to order at the bar…read morefrom the get-go. I had to pretty much guess what I wanted to order because I am not a beer snob and have no real preference and a few others in my party went to sit. If there hadn't been people behind me waiting to order I would not have had so much stress trying to just get it done. That being said, Maddie was awesome! She saw that I was struggling and had me pick some beers that weren't so bad. They don't have a huge food menu but what they offer is very good. NOT your regular bar feed. VERY upscale. I loved all the art around the room. It really brings up some good conversations. We will definitely be back to enjoy the patio.

Great little supermercado that has many of your Central American staples! What!? You don't have…read moreany staples from this area of the world? Come by, select a few, and make them part of your kitchen. This place has a few aisles with the basics you need, including two refrigerated cases with dairy products and one or two with veggies. I recently moved here from a very Latinx neighborhood in California, and well, the prices reflect there isn't as much demand in STL *yet* for these products compared to where I am coming from. I've honestly found groceries in general higher in MO than CA, but nothing was unreasonable. The employees were friendly in my brief interactions with them. I will be back when I need more items like Salsa Lizuno, crema, and frijoles rojas!

Sadly, I've only been here twice but each time was better than the last. Jordan was our server and…read morewas outstanding from beginning to end. To start, I got a small Caesar. It was filling and the croutons were delicious. Drink wise, I went with the socialista and was pleasantly surprised. It was fruity but not overly sweet. For my entree, I got the steak frites and substituted the side for Brussel sprouts and got the truffle fries based on Jordan's recommendation. The steak was ok, but the chimichurri def made it better. As Jordan mentioned, the fries were a hit. Sadly, the Brussel sprouts were not as I had hoped. I was expecting them to come crispy and seasoned but they weren't. Overall, service was great and the food was just as good.

I love Vom Fass. Today was my second time stopping in here and I was in search of the delicious…read moreBear Garlic oil I had gotten last tim. They did not have this but once the very nice lady that works there knew what I wanted she was able to recommend items I would enjoy. She is so patient and kind. I enjoy the fact that she is extremely knowledgeable about the products and gave me a taste of everything I asked for, even mixing oil and vinegar together for me so I could taste the combination. She took her time explaining the bottle sizes (and a bonus, I didn't know before is that if you keep your bottle and clean them, bring them back and they will refill them with a new oil. It saves on the cost a bit because you don't have to buy new bottles) There is a very nice stock of alcohol as well here and they are all so unique. I am not a drinker so I skipped that but the selection of oils and vinegars is just as impress. They also have things like risotto, spices, chutneys, honey, chocolates and more. It is a very cute and welcoming space where you are greeted, allowed to explore and then assisted which makes for a great shopping experience. There is also a man who works the shop who I spoke with last time and I'd like to acknowledge that he is equally as friendly and knowledgeable about products and very friendly and helpful. Now I want to say here that I really feel when it comes to oil and vinegar you get the quality you pay for. Bot only does Vom Fass stock items using herbs and fruits that are in season but they are truly quality items. I am health conscious so enjoy using oil and vinegar of salads or veggie platters and Lao use flavored oils for roasting vegetables and each time I have used a Vom Fass item, I have been blown away by the taste so their products are definitely splurge worthy. Finally they host wine tastings and meal events that look fantastic and I will be signing up for some events here in the future. On the way out, the gentleman who works there came and opened the door for us and void us goodbye and safe travels. I appreciate this step and again felt not only welcomed but appreciated.

Definitely a hidden Gem in downtown Maplewood. I decided to stop in to see what they had to offer…read moreand I'm glad i did. They sell infused oils, Vinegars, spices,liquor, wine and spirits. The oils and Vinegars are in barrels lined up on the shelves, with labels that show pricing and a brief description. You are able to taste all that they have to offer, just reach out to staff for assistance. I saw quite a few different olive oils i wanted to purchase, but opted to go with the garlic infused olive oil. I did sample it, and it was absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the garlic. It was almost as if i was eating a fresh baked slice of garlic bread. I'm looking forward to going back and purchasing the chili Olive oil, and the pomegranate Vinegar. The gentleman working at the time stated Vom Fass has been around since 2006. Beautiful clean layout. Plenty of parking outside and friendly staff! They offer tastings in store so be sure to check them out. Also, they are an Eco conscious store, so all their products are in reusable glass containers. Bring in your clean glasses to refill.
