Came to St Louis on business and had to mix in a little pleasure. Never would have thought our…read morefirst night's meal would have been some Cajun Creole food in St Louis style BBQ Country We were so pleased with our decision as their food rivaled anything in New Orleans. As an avid oyster lover, never would have guessed we would have the option for charred grilled oysters in Missouri. We demolished those in minutes and quickly moved on to our entree I ordered the jambalaya and the size the spices we're so flavorful. The shrimp was on point and the chicken almost tasted like seafood plus the andouille sausage was spicy without being too hot. They nailed the texture and firmness of the rice and highly recommend My wife went with the sampler platter and it was hard to tell between the etouffee, red beans and rice, gumbo, or jambalaya which was the best. I know tough decision to choose from but that was a slam dunk that we highly recommend! Walking throughout the establishment you could tell it totally had that Voodoo deep New Orleans vibe going on that makes you feel like it belongs in the French Quarters If you're ever in the Lou and in the mood for some good Creole Cajun food, this is the spot!

Everything. It's a local institution. Looks like a dive bar but is a must go to spot. The staff is…read morefriendly and ready to dispense their thoughts on the menu. There are multiple options as far as seating. Each one is different from the next. The oysters are a must, take your pick how you want to try them but I would recommend the Oysters NOLA and the Voodoo Po'boy. The Sazerac is on the sweet side but don't let that dissuade you. Worth it. 100%.

Unfortunately the tram rides to the top were sold out, but we'll catch them next time. Highly recommend for a quick, educational stop! -- update -- My wife and I were in St. Louis and decided we had to do the Gateway Arch at least once. We tried getting tickets the day before and it was completely sold out, but we got lucky and snagged spots for the next morning. Totally worth the wait! The view from the top is absolutely stunning. You can see for miles across the Mississippi River and the city skyline -- it's one of those "wow" moments that makes the whole trip worthwhile. The architecture and engineering behind it are impressive too. That said, be ready for a cozy ride. The tram pods only fit about 5 people and it's very tight in there. You'll get to know your neighbors pretty well for those few minutes! If you're even a little claustrophobic or afraid of heights, this might not be for you. But if you're okay with both, it's a must-do experience. Highly recommend doing it at least once. We loved it and left with some great photos and memories. Just book your tickets in advance!

Food: Food cook to order. I opted for ( Down in Bayou)…read more their fried green tomato & shrimp Glad I did, it was cooked to perfection. Scorching hot and delicious. The cook told me I would like it, and he was right. Soup- Didn't really care for it, honestly tasted like can soup. Service: A little slow, but to be expected. Similarly to the other restaurants in the Foundry, employees are either on their phone via bluetooth or seems like not looking for business. We were waiting to place an order but the person who was taking the order is also the same person cooking. I think he was focus on cooking and talking with whoever was on the phone. A second employee came from the back to assist once more customer started to come. Honestly service got better once I started to snap photos. Ambiance - LGBTQIA flag being displayed. Welcoming Areas for improvement: I don't think think their menu does any justice in explaining the food. I saw a couple orders that looks really delicious but not how I had imagined it to look. * Greet customer and let them know you will be right with them. *Consider adding rice dishes, especially for take out orders. Fries doesn't travel well. Recommendation: Try them out the next time you are in the Foundry!

Whether it's date night, girls night out, or meeting family here, Twisted Tree is always 5 stars!!…read more Centrally located, this steak restaurant never misses with the food quality, upscale ambience, and professional service. Not only are their cuts of steak exceptional but I throughly enjoy my meal every time I order seafood here as well. I'm so happy it's another place I've found I can order oysters! Be sure to order yourself an espresso martini when you go because it's one of the best we've had as self-proclaimed espresso martini connoisseurs! Bring any bourbon fans here and they're sure to enjoy themselves. Their happy hour menu is one of the best in Greater Saint Louis area featuring select appetizers, cocktails and spirits, wine, and beer Tues-Friday from 3-6pm. Highly suggest their crab rangoon and brisket ravioli. Check out Twisted Tree if you're looking to impress, relax, and enjoy delicious food and beverage!

We had a great waiter; he was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. We ordered a table appetizer to share, The Batter Dipped Lobster Bites are a big hit, for good reason! They come on a bed of crispy fries that are great on their own, but the lobster bites are fantastic! Crunchy but not greasy and dipped in the warm butter, yum! I have ordered different things every time I visit, this time I ordered off the chef's plates menu and went with the Steak Frites. Ribeye cap, lounge fries, the same fries as with the Lobster Bites, arugula, citrus herb aioli, and bearnaise butter. The Rib cap is a cut I haven't had before; it reminded me of skirt or flank steak. It was tender and flavorful. I love arugula and this with the citrus herb aioli was great. I would order it again. Signature Wedding Cake with vanilla ice cream, shared by the table, everyone enjoyed it. Great food, great service, loved by all my out-of-town coworkers!

I enjoyed that quiet space for a bit and the afternoon air after the walk from Cortex made the wait feel intentional rather than inconvenient. Comfortable seating out here and the light breeze with the afternoon light was nice as I cranked out a few Yelp reviews before I spotted other customers going inside. After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot. It was just an easy experience today and a great spot for a meetup or hanging out on your own. [Round number review 400 of 2026 - 498 in Missouri - 25583 overall]

The menu, while it gives you an elevated American food vibe, it is approachable and non-pretensious at the same time. Complimentary bread, served in a cast iron dish has a consistency that reminds you of a cross between corn bread and yeast bread. A nice crisp outside and fluffy center. The T-Ravs had a bit of ricotta in the blend which gave it some creaminess. Not being overly hungry, I went with a Ceasar salad, Tater Tot Casserole and Brussel Sprouts. All of it delicious. Needed a bit more dressing on the salad, but the tater tots Casserole was stupendous! Such a comforting dish, too large to eat the whole thing, but delicious the next day. Service reminds you of being at any other 5 star restaurant, everyone was attentive, friendly and worked as a team. A wonderful experience!

This is a call out to all locals to support places like BB's because they are getting much harder to find. Firstly, the staff went above and beyond. We were there during a Cards game, and the bartender,David, actually came out and found a place for us to park. Who does that today?? Then we got a chance to meet the chef, Samantha. She's from New Orleans and brings a NOLA menu that's as good....if not better, then anything we've had in the Quarter. Then, it was fun trading music stories with the owner, John. Overall, the best brunch we've been to in a long time!! Now.... let's talk food: - The pulled pork tamales are the best I've ever had. The pork was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. then it was covered with great chili, two over medium eggs, 1/2 sliced avocado, and chopped onions. I was in heaven. The biscuits/gravy was good, but the sample of their red beans and a sample of gumbo.... was better then I've ever had....anywhere! And then their was the beignets. Again...better then Cafe Dumonds! I know I'll get beat up on that claim, but, it's how we felt! Thanks to BB's for making our trip to St Louis a great one!!

You need to book a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights. We had ours for 7 pm and were seated promptly. Food we got Toasted Ravs's these are a STL staple and a must get. The sauce is on the sweeter side so be prepared. I got the Lasagna which came with a salad. The dressing is also on the sweeter side. I love that so it's a great salad and it's topped with provel cheese. The lasagna has provel, beef, sausage and ricotta. It's light on the ricotta which I love. They use the same sweet sauce for the toasted rav's. It's a huge portion! My friend got a chicken dish which came with bacon, broccoli, peppers, and had toasted bread crumbs. He loved it, however he said it did not have much chicken. We were so full we skipped dessert. Great meal. For two people it was about $100 so pretty reasonable. We also got alcohol so it would have been cheaper without wine and a mixed drink. Best Italian on the Hill in my opinion!

The interior is nothing fancy, but it has that standard charm of The Hill. The service was excellent, we had Katie. She could have told us she went to WashU and majored in waitressing and we would have believed her. Prompt, professional but slightly personable. Good combo. The food was GREAT. We couldn't decide which was better, the Chicken Picatta or the Chicken Speidini. They were both super high quality poultry mixed with a rich and flavorful sauce, yum. Katie even let us make the side shells "pink", by mixing marinara and Alfredo for us. The only reason I'm subtracting a star is that our salads were a bit wilted -- my Mom kept running into some weird looking greens. Regardless, we'll be back.

The Pimm's cup (Pimm's no 1, lemonade, white soda, mint) was deliciously sweet, refreshing and very low alcohol. The Crawfish Carolyn had so many crawfish tails in a well balanced brandy cream sauce under a thick layer of cheese. It was an amazing dish served with buttery French bread. The Blackstrap Molasses Bacon Beignet Burger was an unexpected and creative use of a beignet as a burger bun. It only partly worked because the beignet, which was mostly air, got soggy and slightly bitter. However, the patty was extremely thick and juicy and the bacon had a smoky sweet depth of flavor. The Kool-Aid pickle was good and we loved the clementines and strawberries side dish. The only downside was the service. The waiter was nice but mixed up our order which resulted in us waiting twice as long and not having the meat cooked to our liking. There was also a long wait for the check.
