    I could not find a listing for this location specifically for Gooey Louie. Both businesses are in…read morethe same shop. I was in St.Louis to attend a family celebration for my wife's aunt who recently passed. One thing we always enjoy is ooey gooey butter cake. Usually, my mother in law would buy it at the grocery store, but the store outsourced it recently, and it isn't as good. My brother in law stopped in here and got one for us. It was exactly what we like. We borrowed his car the day we were flying out and visited the store to get some to take home. They have these cute little 3oz cakes in tiny foil pans wrapped up nicely with a tiny plastic spoon. We ended up buying a bunch of those to share with folk back home. One time at the airport, the TSA agent told us that gooey butter cake and provel cheese are the most frequent items they see folks taking from St. Louis. We had a slight wait while the wonderful lady behind the counter was making a few more cakes. We ended up taking two frozen ones instead of waiting, but were there long enough to have a great visit with her. She is a friend of the owner. Sadly I didn't get her name. She made us feel at home in the store. As we were leaving, several other customers started coming in. The whole little shopping strip was busy. I had a really hard time backing out of my space in my brother in law's monsterously huge car.

This isn't even their main location; I think it's somewhere in the city. Regardless, we tried it out the other night and really liked it! I got two scoops -- the Italian Butter Cookie and the Watermelon. I don't even know which was better since they were both delicious. The candy watermelon seeds were so cool. We will surely be back, and soon.

    We visited for a treat while in St. Louis. I'm so happy we did! This establishment doesn't have…read morean inside space but there are some benches nearby to sit and watch the street/local area (which has adorable vibes!). You order at the window. Although we rolled up only about 20 minutes til close, we were greeted quite warmly. Service was lovely, listened to what I like in ice cream, and offered several suggestions. They were also INCREDIBLY patient with my indecisiveness - everything just sounded so good! I wound up with a scoop of the salted cracker caramel and my husband got the salted caramel cookies and cream. BOTH were absolutely fantastic. Creamy, rich, perfectly packed/thick ice cream, buttery, sweet, and salty ribbons of caramel, and perfect sized pieces of sweet and salty cracker bits. I love an ice cream that's "loaded" with goodies and these definitely were. Each bite was delicious. They offer vegan ice cream and "naughty" ice cream, which has booze mixed in. I really don't think you can go wrong here. Again, easily the best ice cream I've had in a long while, maybe ever. There are several locations around the city and the Midwest, so if you see a Clementine's, I highly recommend trying them.

    I've been here twice and had great experiences both times. Not sure what's up with the bad reviews!…read more They have a TON of seating - indoor and outdoor. Their outdoor patio is fantastic. You can order from the bar for beers/the counter for food OR you can use the QR code. Both are incredibly fast. Like had our food under 10 minutes which was awesome. Bar has something for everyone - some great beers, cocktails, and wine. Peacemaker was good as always. I always upgrade to fries then regret it because their chips are bomb. The only complaint here is the amount of meat/seafood they put on their sandwiches - it's like bread with a few shrimp. For the price you're paying (almost $20 an entree), I feel like you should be getting a little more meat. But at least it's good. I got a burger this time and the patties were seasoned super well and honestly very, very good. Such a cool spot, especially on a nice day. Great spot for beers and hanging out with friends.

The vibe when we visited was less brewery and more unsupervised playground. Kids were running around barefoot, throwing mulch and rocks, while plenty of parents sat back with drinks in hand. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were repeatedly getting hit with rocks from children running around the property. Maybe this was an unusually busy night, but it was hard to relax or have a conversation between the constant chaos, the trains, and the swarm of kids treating the place like recess. I'd post photos, but every picture is mostly other people's children, and that doesn't seem fair. If you're looking for a quiet drink or an adult atmosphere, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where the kids can run wild while the adults have a drink, you'll probably fit right in.

    This was our first time here. We came after receiving recommendations from friends, and it did not…read moredisappoint. Before discussing the food, let's talk about what's most important, and that's our waitress Eve. Our table of four had many questions regarding food as well as wine, and Eve had thoughts and recommendations for everything. It was a pleasant change from other servers when Eve had some recs for things that weren't the most expensive items on the menu (we've all experienced the servers who only recommend the top dollar plates). Eve listened carefully to what we wanted and had appropriate and mindful suggestions. Eve knew all about the wines and helped us pair properly per plate. The rest of the staff that crossed paths with our table were kind and helpful as well. As for the food... the Truffle Agnolotti was as to die for! Omg. Amazing. Full of flavor yet not heavy. It was the star of the table. Lastly, we were impressed with the selection of appropriately priced wines by the glass.

    Short Update: Went back last week. As good as, or better than our visit in December 2025. My wife…read moreand I again split the Chopped Salad. Well dressed and enough for the two of us (served on individual plates which demonstrates their attention to detail and customer-driven focus). I had the Lamb Chop Siciliano paired with their Super Tuscan Red Wine. Three lightly breaded, double cut lamb chops in a lemon caper sauce and mashed potatoes. Unbelievably perfect. My wife had the Shrimp Scampi. Huge shrimp (at least U10) and huge flavor. Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be going back soon. By the way, our companions noted how packed it was for a week night. It's that way for a reason... great food, excellent drinks, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere. You just have to try it.
