There are so many games to choose from, everything is incredibly well organized, and I loved their brilliant flag system for ordering, requesting game assistance, and letting staff know when you're ready to check out. It makes the whole experience feel effortless. The staff was also super friendly and attentive. I had the Breakfast Fried Rice Bowl and would definitely recommend it. Adding avocado & mushrooms is absolutely the way to go! And if you're craving a fancy coffee, there's a great coffee spot conveniently located in the same building. Definitely a fun spot to add to your STL itinerary!

Obviously you can't compare this to a hotpot place since the concept is still a little different. I thought the cheese fondue was gonna be overwhelming because I don't really eat that much cheese at a time but it was great we ordered the Spinach artichoke I believe it's so good with the vegetables plates they offer. For the main pot I ended up going with the Mojo and she ordered the court bouillon. The soup was really good and I enjoyed the sauce selection they gave us. The best surprise was the dessert fondue it was amazing. The sea salt dark chocolate won our hearts with the fruits. Very nice experience and would recommend if you haven't been there before to at least try it! Service was great, staff were very attentive and big parking lot.

This is my third go around at a "Melting Pot", and this time was to celebrate close friends…read more Let me start by saying, It's not bad, and it's always fun to sit and dip foods into a vat of cheesy goodness, but the food isn't 'grand' by any means. As a matter of fact it's just cut up raw meats, raw vegetables, raw seafoods, breads and fruits you dip. It's the cheese fondue or broths that add to the experience, and the staff mixes the ingredients for the pots at the table. We had the 4 course Feast with 5 people one child, and we bought the kid option for the child. The pricing can be a bit confusing if you are in a group of more than 2 people. Plus, it was disappointing for the kid option since they didn't have a choice of choosing their own fondue. Kid's don't always find wine-cheese to be palatable. Luckily, we chose the loaded potato fondue option, which was more to their liking. Staff was good overall, and they helped facilitate the experience of dipping at the table and making sure drinks were refilled and that we had clean plates, incase we contaminated them with any raw meats. So it is what it is. With drinks it was about 90ish per person, and 30 for the child option. We went for the experience of it, celebrating birthdays, so it was just nice for a different night out. Not necessarily a frequent outing.

My brain wasn't working correctly and we missed our tour time but the guide was kind enough to take us along during their tour. Mind you, we got there an hour and a half early but the brain cells died or something. Anyway, we got to pet the Clydesdales and had a close encounter with one. These horses are huge and very beautiful. We got to see a couple of them getting bathed and they were so gentle and well-behaved, I was quite impressed! The tour includes a free adult beverage or water for those under 21 or those who prefers a water instead. Our tour guide was amazing. I think she said her name was Linda. She was very kind and didn't even want any gratuity explaining that her role is a volunteer one. She's a retired educator and you can tell with the patience she had with her rather large tour group. The ticket price for the tour was pretty reasonable for the experience you're getting. You do pay for parking but you can take the tram for free to the village area for more activities. Unfortunately, we ran out of time the day of our tour so we didn't make it up to the village. You can take the trails (bike or on foot) and visit the farm though! When it's nicer outside, I fully intend to do so.

A childhood summer vacation favorite was Grant's Farm. Now you can go for their summer evening…read moreevent series. I went on the 4th of July on the 250th anniversary of... well I guess it wasn't the anniversary of the first-ever July 4th, but the first one like I'm talking about. I was impressed with how uncrowded the event was. The crowds were less than on the average days in the summers of my youth. These days there are no elephants at Grant's Farm. I saw a number of animals including some really cute hens and several wallaby. I fed goats and some tread on my American flag dress. I was happy that Grant's Farm's biergarten had several non-beers on free offer. I thought it was beer and only beer! First I had a seltzer made with vodka blueberry flavor... I think it's called Nutrl. Yum! We could smell the blueberry from a couple of feet away. My second drink was High Noon vodka iced tea It was good, but if I get to make that choice again, I'd go back to the blueberry. My friend and I split a vegan bratwurst with sauerkraut and a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was pretty flavorful and the temperature was right (we weren't expecting much). I liked the bratwurst, but my companion wasn't wowed. The 4th of July drone show was a nice alternative to fireworks. We liked watching and figuring out the formations. Our only tip to the venue: reduce the volume of the band. We were sitting as far away as we could, and maybe there were speakers near us, but no matter the reason: this was at least 40% too loud for all of us. Those hens were so darling!

The place feels kinda retro, but they have good games for the kids. Indoor go kart, laser tag, and your regular arcade Dave and busters type gaming. It's definitely not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. The staff just seem like they're only there for the paycheck. I like the retro themes, the 50's/60's diner, with old flicks like "leave it to beaver" playing in some of the dining areas.

We were just about to order the toasted ravioli which are locally noteworthy here. Except that in the introduction and telling about the place, our waitress informed us that Blueberry Hill is also owned by the same people who own Pin Up Bowl across the street. We had been there earlier in the week for a work party and the toasted ravioli there are the same ones that arrive by the same delivery here. So we skipped those. We ordered drinks and found some nice options. I had a tin of a local light beer and that was quite tasty. Looking for something different, we went with the fried cheese balls. Sadly, not that great. Battered and fried, they were not very flavorful and no sharpness to the cheese. Peel off the batter and they look like just the same cheese cubes you can get at the supermarket. So I'd say skip these too. Otherwise, Blueberry Hill is cool. The memorabilia on the walls, the fun games in the next room and don't skip the Duck Room. It's a neat place and maybe on my next visit, something more substantial to eat with our drinks. [Review 439 of 2026 - 508 in Missouri - 25622 overall]

Blueberry Hill is an old music and dining establishment where many legends have played. Many! I…read moreonly have gone for the food because I'm not much into live music. I don't remember what I had on my most recent visit. It may have been only a lemonade; I wasn't feeling well after an ice cream float at Fitz's across the street (lol @ my dietary choices). Blueberry Hill is locally iconic to the point that the place feels borderline touristy on a busy weekend afternoon. However, if you come in the evening during the week, it's much quieter and low-key, and I prefer that vibe. After you order, if it isn't too busy, try to spend a few minutes looking at the walls of photos of celebrities who have visited Blueberry Hill. (At least, I think they've all visited and it isn't a mixture of those folks & photos from founder Joe Edwards' private collection. Even if it were the latter, it still would be fun to look at the photos.)

You can also find traditional steak and chicken dishes if that's more your thing. I like YaYa's because the atmosphere and food alike feel elevated yet still approachable. Service here is full-service and polished - bordering on fine-dining. Servers wear button down shirts and a tie. Although there's no strict dress-code enforced, most people dining here will be a bit dressed up depending on the occasion they're celebrating. You'll be just fine in nice jeans here too. We frequent for date night and don't veer far from the Chicken Gnocchi appetizer, Spinach Salad, Chicken Penne, Shrimp Risotto, and Filet. Their Scallops dish is good here too that comes with Saffron Orzo. They will bring out delicious bread and Baba Ghanoush at the beginning of your meal. I could make a meal just out of the Baba Ghanoush it is addicting! The Chicken Gnocchi is an appetizer but could easily be an entrée. The chocolate soufflé dessert takes about 30 minutes so be sure to tell your server ahead of time if you have something sweet in mind. The Buttercake dessert is good as well but super rich. We went for dinner last night and could tell something was off with both the Front-of-House and Kitchen. Lights on higher than normal, staff members appeared a bit frantic including the host, and the food did not visually look how it normally comes out nor did it taste exactly right. Some things oversalted. I don't want to rate 4 stars instead based on yesterday's experience since overall we've had a 5 star experience the past years coming here but this night specifically felt subpar. They may be going through a staffing shortage which is tough and we understand.

They have a good sized parking lot and it was easy to find a close spot. First, a big thank you to the manager for setting us up in the private dining room. That really made our dinner so incredibly special. I would really like to bring a group here to enjoy that space. Our server was Alex and she kept our wine glasses full and the plates of food coming. Our meal was paced well. She took very good care of us. Our friend ordered the mezze plate which included pita points, crackers, whole rainbow carrots, and celery with three dips that included whipped feta, hummus, and a red pepper hummus. They also brought out their delicious fresh bread with baba ghanoush. The bread is so perfect that it doesn't even need any type of spread. I ordered the side spinach salad, which was a refreshing way to start my meal. I decided on the five cheese pizza with olive oil and it was very good and very rich. I was only able to eat two slices. My dining companions ordered pizza and pasta dishes. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I concluded my meal with a phyllo wrapped brownie that came with chocolate sauce, fresh raspberries, and cream. It basically looks like a brownie burrito. It's quite decadent and I enjoyed it. My dining companions ordered an after-dinner, espresso drink, and another friend ordered the bread pudding, both with happy outcomes. I'm looking forward to coming back to try brunch.
