     a hand holding a piece of fried chicken
    Molly D.

    Was served undercooked chicken strips through the drive thru. Wasn't worth my time or money to drive back (it's a $4 meal) but called to let them know to make sure they're checking this before serving customers. The worker on the phone told me that's impossible due to timers they set on the fryers. Well, maybe you should look into getting those timers fixed.

    2 Eggs, Bacon & Hash Browns

    This is not my typical Steak 'n Shake, I'm usually a Hampton location boy. However, this morning we thought we'd change it up. It wasn't bad, but I think I need to stay with my regular location up on Hampton. Our server was friendly and attentive. We were fairly early and as the restaurant filled up you could see the community camaraderie. So many of the diners all knew each other and our server would greet them by name. Even with this being our first visit, we still received the same quality of service as her regulars. The grill-man did a great job on preparing our eggs over easy and making our Hash Browns extra crispy. I always request crispy HB's, my taste-buds just like them better. The SO's side of pancakes were evenly golden in color and his patty sausage were Jimmy Dean good. I have mixed feelings on two of my sides. My bacon appeared to have been fried in advance and waiting for an order. It was chilled and chewy. The biscuit was dry, but when combined with the thick sausage milk crazy it was enjoyable. However, if it were a moist flaky biscuit, it would get two thumbs up from this pudgy ex-farm boy. Overall, a good visit for a inexpensive breakfast.

    I stopped in the #SteaknShake after a quick shopping. Never been to one before, but Deborah G. went above and beyond with CUSTOMER SERVICE. At the location on Chippewa in #STL NO:53 about 8:40am. She literally went and made my egg white biscuit because I asked if they had egg whites ....without hesitation she made it. I just want to say she made my morning THANK YOU -- at Steak 'n Shake (4640 Chippewa, St. Louis).

I recently stopped by after an appointment in STL. It was right at lunch time and it was also, opening day for the Cardinals. So when I entered, the line to order was already long. To my surprise, the one lady taking orders, moved that line quickly. So I give her major kudos. When it was turn to order, I was ready. I went with a Double and swapped out the American Cheese for Pepper Jack. For my side, I tried their Salt&Pepper Onion Rings. After ordering, I took my number stick and took a seat at the bar. Once seated, the bartender welcomed me and I ordered a draft beer. I barely had completed my Wordle and my burger basket was being slid in front of me. Before taking my first bite, I admired the crisp edges and actually ran my finger around them. My first bite was heaven. It proved to me that all a good smash burger needs is; ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles. The Onion Rings were made in house and the simple seasoning of Salt & Pepper made them a winner. While dining at the bar, I learned a new trick. If you're going to be sitting at the bar to enjoy your smash burger, you can order it from the bartender. That's right, no standing in line to order, you can go straight to the bar. Great staff. They all hustle and provide friendly and professional service.

    Don't waste your time. Severely overpriced. Burger patties are wafer thin, maybe 1 to 1.5 ounces…read moreeach? Marketed like some kind of crispy novelty, but clearly a thinly-veiled cost saving technique. Criminal. If you like crispy hamburgers just go to Steak 'n Shake. Service was pretty bad too. Soda fountain was out of two sodas and took 25 minutes for them to replace them once notified. FYI the best true smash burger in the city is Jack Nolan's in Soulard.

The bar area was very nice and welcoming. We were greeted by a a nice woman at the hostess stand, and got sat promptly at a high top by the window. Drink and food lists looked great. I got the Oaxacan Caffee and my husband had the Savannah slammer. Both were perfectly balanced, made well and with quality ingredients! We both got a standard espresso martini to finish (they use cold brew) and it was lovely as well. No creaminess, nice coffee flavor and not overly sweet. Since it was our first time we got a little welcome cordial - that was a nice addition to our experience. Our waitress was very nice as well. We got our food quickly - pimento cheese dip with house made chips and the Brussels sprout Caesar salad. Pimento cheese dip was very creamy, chips were so thin they kept breaking but they were seasoned well and had a good crunch. The Brussels sprout Caesar was great! Very light but Brussels sprouts were crispy. Even the half size was large for us!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, suggesting some of their favorite items. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's just very aesthetically pleasing and a cute space overall. I also appreciate their dedicated parking lot as sometimes parking in the Grove can be difficult to find, especially on busier days. I tried their mushroom fried rice and as someone who is not the biggest mushroom lover. I really enjoyed it! They have a great selection of cocktails, as well as some tasty apps before your meal. I look forward to coming back in the future!

It is a Trojan horse for one of the best burgers in St. Louis (my wife says I'm being dramatic for calling it THE best; I say I am not NOT going back for another). We enjoyed everything we order: the pork belly burnt ends and cashew chicken wings, and a coffee & cardamom old fashioned that sounds like a personality disorder but tastes like a vibe, smoky, a touch sweet, and very drinkable year-round. The Sam Elliott burger, BBQ sauce, bacon, crunchy onions, brioche, is named for a man who has never disappointed anyone, and neither does the sandwich. And the meatloaf is NOT your grandma's brick: tender, charred at the edges, laid over silky mashed potatoes with broccolini, perhaps closer to a chop steak than a loaf in the best possible way. Vibe is farm-chic: old church pews, repurposed interior doors, a proper bar up front, plus a patio and rooftop for when the weather cooperates. Fun fact -- it's named after the blue duck Billy Madison paints in elementary school, which is a fantastic piece of trivia and tells you absolutely nothing accurate about the actual restaurant. 4.7 Stars. Picking Nits: the counter-order setup is efficient, but it sets expectations in the wrong direction for the first 90 seconds, you brace for fast-casual and instead get something considerably more ambitious. Food comes out fast once you've ordered, which is great if you're hungry and slightly jarring if you wanted a slow, lingering dinner. And the Billy Madison naming is charming trivia but entirely misleading as a vibe preview, no complaints about the actual restaurant, just the branding expectations it sets. If The Blue Duck were a character: Ron Swanson. Hear me out. If Ron ate here, he'd be suspicious of the entire experience until his first bite of protein -- the counter ordering, the repurposed doors, a burger named after a fellow mustachioed American, all of it registering as potentially too clever. Then the Sam Elliott hits his plate, he takes one bite, and the skepticism dissolves into the quiet respect of a man who has found his people. Looks rustic. Has strong feelings about meat. Secretly sophisticated -- plays saxophone in a jazz club under a fake name, builds his own furniture, would 100% approve of the farm-chic decor once the protein has spoken. Presents as simple. Isn't.

    Excellent cocktails - both interesting and reasonable priced (IMO). Food was also tasty…read more Wandered in here for lunch after moving a friend on a Saturday, seating at the bar readily available. Parking lot in rear.

    The BF and I came here for date night and also stayed for amateur comedy hour…read more A small dive bar in south city with friendly employees and a limited cocktail menu. The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF. The burger was extremely underwhelming, not seasoned at all. How do you specialize in burgers and mess that up. The best item we ate was the fries and the comedy show was good. I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

They're known for their smash burgers and seasoned fries. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the food bc I had dinner plans, but I did stay for a couple drinks. They have a great selection of spirits and cocktail specials. My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back. The smells alone (all good of course) will have you lingering back!
