    Everyone, I found you a late night spot. Pops Kitchen on Washington Ave is proof that not all late-night fried food has to come in a cardboard box from a chain. This is the local joint where the grease is just better and the fish actually tastes like fish. I went all in on the catfish and it was #StLouisPescatarianApproved The breading was perfectly crispy and the inside was flaky. And yes, I was out past midnight, so where's my medal?

    Flew into St. Louis for work and came here based on a recommendation from the hotel. Had the cat fish, wings and fries. Not bashing the restaurant but my body couldn't handle fried everything and the seasoning was a little over board. Worst $27 I ever spent

    Thank you Yelpers! This place did not disappoint. The catfish was great. Lightly coated and fried to perfection. The wings were also fried to perfection. Great seasoning on everything. My friends enjoyed their shrimp plates and one couldn't stop raving about the catfish. A definite spot to check out.

    My friend was getting married so he requested this as his meal to get ready before the wedding. He kept raving about the wings but I was more excited to try all of the other side options. I got the fried cauliflower, onion rings, hush puppies, corn nuggets, okra, mac n cheese bites, coconut shrimp, and pizza puff. I got my husband a cheesesteak. The fries were good with ranch. I thought everything was good, just not amazing. The only thing noteworthy was the pizza puff. It was piping hot and stuffed like a big pizza hot pocket. Very flavorful and came with fries. Well worth the price. Bring cash if you don't want to pay a credit card surcharge. Street parking only so that's hard to find. I got dropped off. Lots of bottled drink options as well as ice cream flavors. I would come back to try more options next time we are in STL!

    Pops kitchen off Washington is a staple. Awesome fried everything. Chicken fish shrimp Talapia. A little pricey but good. The honey glaze sauce is amazing.

    Whole fried wings, and fries.

    Was walking by to catch my ride, and smelled pure deliciousness in the air! Everyone on the street pointed to Pop's Kitchen. I ran in a made a quick night cap order of wings/fries to see if they taste as good as they smell. These wings were off the chain! They actually taste like home fried chicken! Amazing!

    Always a treat after an event at Enterprise. Wait times are a bit long, but worth it.

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

It was decorated all out for the Olympics and they have several comfy couch areas which were perfect for us with our toddler who does not want to sit still... We spent a few hours here and had some appetizers and drinks. We had the pub pretzel, pickle chips, fried cheese and soup. All were out quickly and very good. The pretzel was SO good! Served with mustard and warm cheese for dipping and it's huge. Service was friendly and fast. Bathrooms are spacious and new and clean with a nice large stall for baby changing. It wasn't crowded in the middle of a day on Friday so, pleasant to watch the game with a small group. I'm sure it can get really busy and rowdy during sports events downtown. All in all, new and comfy and a place I can see us coming often.

The bacon, chicken ranch wrap was good enough, and the fries were devoured. The bartender probably spoke six words to us during our three hours there. The sporting events they displayed were really weird for us, the NBA Hall of Fame show, women's golf, preseason football. I'm sure it's way more fun during a soccer match but for a regular Friday night, it definitely wouldn't be someplace that we'd go back to..
