Despite living in STL for over 30 years and having visited Kimswick many times for their various "festivals", we'd never eaten at the Blue Owl, since the place is usually packed. This morning was no different, but to our great surprise, they got us a table for 2 right away. We were seated just after 11 am, which was unfortunately too late for their breakfast menu, so lunch it was! We started with 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee . My lunch selection was a slice of their homemade chicken pot pie, freshly made crust and large bites of chicken inside, topped with a cheese covered crust. It was fresh & delicious! For a side I had a large serving of curly fries, doubt they were made in house, but they were good! My wife eats largely plant based, and ordered a quiche... she may not have read the description of it closely, but as she took her first bite, she discovered it had bacon on it. Rather than send it back, she chose to eat around the bacon. I took a couple of bites and thought it was pretty tasty as well. She had a fresh fruit cup as her side, and it was just that: fresh fruit. The Blue Owl is known for their fresh bakery and after perusing their cake/pie menu, we decided on a lightly frosted carrot cake, but at a $52 price point, we thought it was pretty pricey and instead opted for 2 take-home slices ($7 each slice) to savor later today. Maybe it's holiday pricing, or maybe carrots have been subjected to the tariffs, but $52 for a store bought ( no matter how fresh) cake seemed a bit high. All in all, a delightful experience. The food was delicious and our server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend The Blue Owl Restaurant & Bakery in Kimswick, MO!

All else was simply unpleasant. The $10 house salad was mostly iceberg gone mushy from being drowned in the standard St Louis take on Italian dressing. The $27 fettuccine primavera was of a curious nature mostly due to the pasta length that ranged from little broken bits to half strands. Only a few mushroom slices survived the "chef" and were palatable. The rest of the veggies were tasty but drowned in what purported to be butter and garlic, but I suspect was cooking oil. The lesson here is: drive the extra 10 minutes to Guissepes in Antonia!

Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish. My daughter ordered a mule and said it was very good. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and sized well so we walked away satisfied. The service was really very good. The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local. They have a gaming room with electronic gambling machines but there is tournament sized shuffleboard along the back wall and it looked like it was free to play. Also soft tip dart boards if you enjoy that.

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 (1 of 18 for Missouri)…read more Having scoped out the menu a bit first, to make sure we wouldn't starve, we popped into our first Missouri Brewery in the big book. We loved the building and dining/ bar area. It had lovely character and begged to tell a story. The hubby got an IPA, not my type so no rating from me. I opted for the blood orange and found it to be a solid choice. It was refreshing, effervescent and had no artificial/chemical taste or aftertaste. The service was really good - no complaints there. While we usually pick an app and a meal to share, I was itching for the dark meat fried chicken. Since it's all you can eat, (or should be), there's no sharing. The hubby got a burger with maple syrup for himself. The chicken was delish & piping hot! The broccoli was tasty but not to temp. The mashed potatoes and gravy would fall under almost inedible - old, cold. But I was there for the chicken & the chicken was on point. Sadly, directly after my plate was dropped off, the table behind us was told they were out of chicken. Now, all you can eat Sunday fried chicken being sold out at 540p is a bit odd. I assumed they did a stop sell because they were running low. I found out a short time later that they were truly out of dark meat... as they offered me a wing. Thankfully, I can't eat more than what it came with (3pc). The hubby was disappointed that the maple syrup wasn't maple, rather maple flavored. Otherwise, he was happy with his food. He also ate my final piece of chicken though & agreed it was the winner... Winner Winner (all you can eat) Chicken Dinner! *only on Sundays, if timed correctly ; ) I'd say 3.5 stars overall, but bumping up to 4 because the beer easily hit the mark & it's what we were there for... plus, that chicken.

We had kids, tired parents, and a decent-sized group -- and they handled it effortlessly. Friendly, attentive, and quick without ever making us feel rushed. That balance isn't easy. The food was killer. The brisket mac and cheese was loaded and flavorful, with perfectly cooked pasta and tender meat. The smash burger was another standout -- great crust on the patty, juicy inside, and stacked just right. Even the pretzel bites were a hit with the kids (and let's be honest, the adults too). And the blood orange beer? Fantastic. Crisp, refreshing, and just enough citrus to make it interesting without being overpowering. It was the perfect post-game drink. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately good food. If you're anywhere near Main & Mill -- especially with a team or a group -- it's a win. We'll absolutely be back.

The owners are very approachable and could immediately recognize us as Filipinos when we were sitting and eating there. The restaurant reminds me of a "fancier" Filipino style like you see in big tourist spots in Boracay. I do admit, the wait is a bit long as we were waiting for almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive. However, I feel like the complaints about it from other reviews are ridiculous since this place isn't considered fast food, but cooked with love. I mean- when I was living in The Philippines, everyone has patience of a saint, especially when it comes to food so I do not see the wait time as an issue. It's not served immediately like karinderya style. I ordered the Filipino-style chicken BBQ and I'd like to say that it's so delicious and flavorful. However, it doesn't remind me of home. I do want to point out to definitely ask for tuyo kalamansi with chili for the dip if you're not a fan of vinegar. I was told it was homemade by the owner and it did not disappoint. The pork BBQ that my father ordered was a bit too hard for his liking, as Filipino meat tends to be on the softer side. The ube banana pudding is also yummy, however, it is way too sweet for our liking. I'd like to point out that Java rice is so good that I think that it isn't enough for a Filipino like me and I personally don't want to pay for another cup of Java rice. There were more sides than rice tbh. I was also a bit bummed that halo-halo isn't in the menu at all, With that being said, I feel like the food and desserts here are mostly catering the American palette, but it would be good for people who has never tried Filipino food.
