    Tex Mex Eggrolls
    Erika H.

    We were seated quickly. Our server was quick to come over and grab our drink orders. She did however take very long to come back and bring us bread and get our food orders. Food was delicious, and cooked to order. The tex mex egg rolls were crispy, and flavourful. The Parmesan crusted chicken was good, but needs some seasoning. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were good. To end the night, we got cheesecake, because why go to the cheesecake factory if you're not going to get cheesecake. I opted to try the Cinnabon Cheesecake. It was smooth, creamy, and tasted just like a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. Very clean inside, and dim lit. I would however suggest turning the music down a little as it's. Try loud and felt like i had to talk loud.

    I forgot STL had a Cheesecake Factory. We visited on a Sunny Sunday morning to catch brunch and had to wait a few minutes to get seated. Our server met us quickly to get our drink order appetizers. Again pretty busy for brunch with several large groups seated close to us and not too loud for us to enjoy ourselves. I was impressed with the rather large volume of entrees to choose from and went with something simple. Avocado egg rolls were very tasty as well as the fresh bread. Our server kept a good check on us while providing us time to eat. Food was delicious and generous portions. We finally made it through the meal and time for cheesecake. We went with a slice of mango key lime and pumpkin cheesecake and were also very good.. Great experience and heading back for the holidays.

    Louisiana Cajun pasta (Amazing)
    Desiree R.

    I came here for my birthday Whooooo October Libras... okay on to the review We were seated immediately upon walking In they were very busy for it to be a Monday But nonetheless less seated immediately Food came out quick the Louisiana pasta really surprised me and while it was my husbands meal it was soooo good. Now on to the Cajun salmon entree k got mashed potatoes which were real and good the corn was alright. The salmon was perfectly charred with the Cajun it was amazing! I would recommend both entrees with the Louisiana being my first. Next were the Tex Mex egg rolls for an appetizer which were sooo good as well the guacamole and hot sauce dip was a perfect compliment for the egg rolls And I didn't get a picture but I got the pumpkin cheesecake all there cheesecake is amazing

    I went to Cheesecake Factory with my sisters for a birthday celebration. I decided to try something new. I love the fact that they have the lunch specials available all day. I decided to try the margherita pizza and a salad. I loved the pizza just wish I had added jalapeños. The staff were friendly and timely although it was a large crowd. Food

    Chicken Taquitos
    Breeyen B.

    I haven't been here in almost 20 years. I went on March 19th for their happy hour and enjoyed myself. I ordered the Chicken Taquitos and Buffalo Blast. The Buffalo Blast were delicious with Buffalo chicken inside what seemed like chicken battered fried wontons. The Chicken Taquitos were burnt and that's all I tasted. I was able to exchange them for The Spicy Ted Max Egg rolls that were much better and fried perfectly. The waitress was good as well as service. The ambiance was nice and the noise level was decent.

    We regularly place take out orders and very occasionally dine in. The service is timely and impressive every time, even if the order is wrong they are quick to fix and make it right which I really appreciate. The ambiance is typical of a Cheesecake Factory, where it's usually bustling with people and on a busy night you'll find a wait time of 65-75 minutes after the mall is closed. Moderate noise, ambiance lighting dim enough to make it feel like a special occasion, booth table bar and tall table seating available. The food is always good, it's what keeps you coming back. The Thai lettuce wraps are a staple as well as the chipotle chicken pasta. Cheesecakes are also fantastic, favorites include the salted caramel, cinnamon roll, cookie dough, and coconut cream

    Avocado Eggrolls
    Sandi M.

    Food was delicious, clearly made to order! The service left a lot to be desired. I went for happy hour and our server sat us down and only appeared to give us our food and give us our tab. We received no bread and after asking we were told they were out... this would not be a problem under different circumstances. However, other servers in our area were repeatedly bringing bread to other guests. Maybe they don't give free bread to happy hours customers? I wish the server was more attentive considering that the happy hour was not packed. Ambiance was great!

    Factory Peach Bellini
    Rainier E.

    The highlight: The peach Bellini!! I didn't expect it to be frozen but it was amazing!! The flavor was great and I did have a nice buzz from just the 1. The brûlée French toast was tasty. I loved the caramel sauce it came with but if it wasn't for it, it would have just been ok. I also had a side a bacon which was good. My husband tried the jambalaya hash which he liked a lot. Had good spice but not too hot. Our server was great and I was shocked it wasn't super busy for a Sunday at brunch time. I did make reservations ahead of time so I suggest you do that.

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Betty C.

    You can't go wrong with the Cheesecake Factory! This place is huge haha! We got seated right away. First they bring out free bread. I got the chicken tuna sandwich and it was amazing. So so good except there was some weird long stringy things in the chicken that were unedible and kinda gross. Not sure what they were. lol but the taste was great bahaha. The fries were just average though. The portions are huge!!! Definitely had leftovers from my whole party haha. We did have some kids with us and they got the spaghetti and I was a little disappointed there was only one meatball. One medium sized meatball that was disproportionate to the large amount of noodles. Anyways, we got like five different cheesecake slices . My favorite will always be the original. It's the best cheesecake in the world!! Love it.

    Chicken Madeira
    Courtney S.

    [January 2026] My family and I love going to The Cheesecake Factory. This was our first dining out experience of 2026. Chef Gordon Ramsay strongly criticizes restaurants with excessively large menus, viewing them as a sign of poor management, increased costs, diluted food quality (often relying on frozen ingredients), and overwhelming both the kitchen staff and customers. While the Cheesecake Factory has an extensive menu of entrees and appetizers to choose from, I have never really had any bad experiences with food quality. I always appreciate their skinny menu options and that brown bread. Our waitress Ashly took great care of us once we were seated for our reservation. Our booth was the perfect size for 5 adults. Ashly noticed we ate all the brown bread and brought out some more baskets. We each ordered something different for drinks. I ordered a skinny cosmopolitan and tried my brother's whiskey smash which was delicious! For my meal, I ordered a skinny grilled branzino. I forgot to take a picture of it, but it was flavorful with tomatoes and basil vibes. The garlic mashed potatoes were dangerously perfect for me (red potatoes skins kept on, garlicky, creamy and buttery)! I tried some of my sister's salmon and it was okay. I took a bite of my mother's plate of sesame ginger chicken, and it was very flavorful and something I want to try to make at home now. My dad's chicken madeira was equally flavorful and delicious. That was probably the best flavored mushrooms I've had on a dish in while! My brother and I ordered cheesecakes to go - his was Oreo cookie and mine was red velvet per Ashly's recommendation. It took me a few days to eat that massive piece of cheesecake, but it was so worth it! Maybe could have had a slightly thicker layer of cake to balance the cheesecake but I guess it wouldn't be called The Cheesecake Factory if the cheesecake was overpowered by cake! Dining Note: They have some breakfast items available all day and special items available for brunch only on Saturdays and Sundays. Join their rewards program -- you get a slice of cheesecake for your birthday

    I like the Vegan burger they make it from scratch and it comes with a salad for a nice deal. They do seasoning very well. I think they forgot my avocado on top of it. I have to look at it later, but the server was very nice and my food looks very neat not just thrown in a container to go and you get two pieces of bread and it was very fresh. The bread that I don't need lol

    Hot wings
    Christy C.

    My order for the night was Korean cauliflower bites and a chicken tender salad and a piece of carrot cake for dessert. I will say the Cheesecake Factory is a little on the pricier side but its so worth it. The ambiance is dimly lit which kind of makes it hard to read the menu but its not a deal breaker for me as I always get the same order when I go, but a little more light still would be nice.

For those of us who eat at 5 and are in bed by 8, that's a non-starter. So for a birthday dinner we did the thing you're not supposed to do, showed up on a whim at 5 p.m. on a Thursday with no reservation, fully prepared to be turned away. All four bar seats were open. We took two. Sometimes the shot goes in. The room is modern chic with an old-school soul, green-and-white striped plates, the footprint is small, the kitchen is open, and the staff are polished and professional without being stiff. Jose, the bartender, has been behind that bar for most of the time the restaurant's been open, and he was the best kind of host, warm, unhurried, and honest. Yes, walk-ins are possible. No, don't count on it; some nights there's a line out the door of people hoping to squeeze in. Get there early and pray, or plan on a late supper. The Old Fashioned was solid, served over a mound of crushed ice with a fat orange wedge, which is not how I usually take one, but it went down easy. The crab cake, though, won the night, among the best I've ever had, on par with our favorite Chicago steakhouse...Bavette's. Thick, honest pieces of crab (not filler pretending to be crab), a perfectly crisp golden crust, a scatter of chives, sitting in a buttery sauce you'll want to chase with bread. Order it. Share it only if you must, even though I'm about to tell you to share everything else. Confession, I don't like spending money on pricey salads. Moreover, I don't like blue cheese. And yet the wedge, which they graciously split into two plates for us, turned me into a living contradiction. I'd order it with enthusiasm. Don't look for me to bring that spirit to any other restaurant, this is an exception, not a new rule for me. Crisp iceberg, blue cheese crumbles, a crunchy crumb topping, and a pool of herby vinaigrette underneath. Then there's the bacon: not bits, a full thick-cut slab draped over the top like a trophy. Bacon GOLD. It deserves its own line on the menu...Wright's Tavern, follow Bavette's lead and put the bacon on the menu, we'll all thank you for it. Now the steak. We went with the 22 oz. New York strip, and for what you're paying at a place like this, I expected the main event to be the main event. It arrives pre-sliced, showered in chives, sitting in its own jus. Beautiful plate. The flavor was spot on, no complaints there. The problem was the cutting. I don't know whether it was the cut itself, whether it got pre-sliced with the grain instead of against it, whether it didn't rest long enough, or whether the steak knife just wasn't up to the job, but I was sawing our medium-rare steak. More pressure than I'm used to, the knife catching on the fat, and by the end I'd left a small graveyard of partial segments and rubbery fat on the plate. Maybe it was just a bad cut on a good night. It happens. But at a steakhouse, the steak is the franchise player, and the franchise player had an off game. The side, though, quietly stole some of the steak's minutes. I'd never had dauphinoise potatoes, so I had to try them: paper-thin sliced potatoes baked au gratin until the top goes golden and the middle turns creamy. Excellent. And here's my free consulting for the kitchen: crumble some of that wedge-salad bacon over the top as bits and you've got a stellar side. You already have the bacon. Just walk it across the kitchen. Dessert brought it back. The apple cinnamon cheesecake is really light, none of that giant, dense brick that's the calling card of many cheesecakes, topped with soft spiced apple slices and a streusel crumble, and it was excellent. The scorecard: crab cake and cheesecake were the spotlight, the salad and the potatoes were the surprise, and the entrée was, oddly, the letdown. If Wright's Tavern were a TV character: it's Don Draper. Stay with me. Handsome, clearly talented, a real man's man and a ladies' man, magnetic in a small dark room with a drink in hand and flawed in a few key places. Everything Don touches at the office is brilliant; it's the thing that should matter most in his life (being a father, husband, good business partner) that he can't quite get right. That was our steak. I'm giving Wright's Tavern some grace here, because everything else was so well delivered and this little nook of a restaurant has "future regular" written all over it. I'm coming back for another steak, and I'm expecting redemption. Until then: 4.5 out of 5. The only thing keeping this from a perfect score is the one dish that's supposed to carry the team.

Nothing divey about a hip cocktail or hip deviled eggs -- these are sophisticated modern twists, the exact move wine bars make and dives don't.

The old fashioned makes the case: Old Grand-Dad Bonded, pickled rye, cognac, butterscotch bitters. Two whiskeys and a bitter you won't find at an actual dive. Rich, a little sweet.

You know, just like the old dive with the $1 PBR.Deviled eggs for people that don't like deviled eggs. However, we love deviled eggs...foreshadowing. The short ribs are the headline -- fall-apart tender over whipped potatoes substantial enough to stand up to the meat, gravy spot on. Eats like a perfectly executed roast dinner. The brie burger is the sneaky second hit, genuinely decadent, bacon with the cheese melting into the beef. The service was good and pleasant and that felt more like dive-friendly, where you might expect a wine "bar" to be snooty or full of themselves. 4.4 Stars Picking Nits: hip deviled eggs that reach past what they can hold. Tomato jelly on top is a lot going on, in the wrong way, and the egg disappears under it. These are trying to be hip deviled eggs more than they're trying to be good deviled eggs. Every ambitious kitchen has one plate that tries too hard; this appears to be one. A 5 needs those eggs landing, in the same way the entrees excelled. Regardless, we'll be back.

After a whole lot of research, knowing I wanted scallops for a main, I chose The Crossing. Our meal started with a complimentary offering of their bleu cheese soufflé with crisps and bread service--both delicious. I enjoyed a glass of their current "by the glass" Chardonnay, and my boyfriend got a Yeungling (poured table-side). I got my scallops, as planned, which certainly did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly, fresh and delicious. The wilted romaine seemed odd at first but totally rounded out the potato mash at the base, with the absolute flavor-bomb of the shiitakes. Highly recommend this dish any day! My boyfriend opted for the NY Strip; we both agreed it was one of the best steaks we'd ever had; seasoned perfectly and cooked masterfully. There was a slight mishap whereby a food runner gave him a tasting portion of the strip (likely meant for another table); we first didn't realize and were very disappointed with the size. However, without a word from us, the chef came out and personally explained, apologized, and corrected--I didn't snap a photo of the full portion when it came out, but it was perfect and much more what we expected. That brings me to the service, which was spectacular. Several staff members gave us a personal touch and they all seemed to be genuinely happy to be there. The space is beautiful and intimate. It was moderately busy and still quiet. The atmosphere feels upscale, but not pretentious or unapproachable. This place was on my radar for a long time, and I sure wish I'd gone long ago. If you're thinking about it, just go!! I can't wait to come back and try the chefs tasting menu--thank you for a wonderful dinner!

The food, interior, and service are top notch, and comes it the highest prices in the area. The menu focuses on steaks but the special menu offers additional seafood option. You can also order items from the 801 Fish restaurant across the street if red meat is not your preference. Complimentary loaves of sour dough bread were delivered to the table as we enjoyed our beverages. Crab Cake $27 - This was one delicious lumpy crab cake with succulent pieces of crab, big enough to share with two people. Down Home Shrimp $26 - 3 large pieces of shrimp on top of mouth watering mash potato like sauce that you want to lick clean. You can add on additional shrimp. Single Cut Prime Rib 16oz $66 - It was cooked perfectly medium rare and very tender. I didn't love that it sat in a pool of au jus, but was delicious. Brussels sprouts $15 - Large portion, more than plenty for 4 people. It was tender and very saucy. Garlic Mashed potatoes $16 - Semi-lumpy mashed potato with bits of skin. I was hoping it might be served with gravy similar to the shrimp sauce, but there was no companion. Cheesecake with blueberry sauce $16 - Large piece of cheesecake, very rich and smooth. It was nice that the dessert selected by the birthday guest was complimentary. If you dine here and park in the lot behind 801 Fish, you can get your parking ticket validated at 801 Fish. Reservations can be made on OpenTable.

Unfortunately we were here on one of those ridiculously hot September days and could not partake of the adorable patio. Lucky for us, we were late for the brunch crew, 2 pm. Our orders went in pretty quick and the food came out at reasonable pace. I was here for girls brunch. Between the 3 of if we ordered a breakfast burrito and 2 avocado toasts. I don't usually order an avacado toast because I don't want to get burned by fake avacado/previously frozen, any of the above. I had a hunch it would be good here and I was not disappointed. If I had a complaint, the bread was a tiny bit too thick for the knife to cut it. The flavor of the avacado mixed with radish and a flavorful topping was really good. I also ordered a hibiscus tea, it was refreshingon this miserable day. This spot will be perfect in the future when the man wants only coffee and a pastry, and I need a real meal.

    The Best Dining Experience We've Had in St. Louis - Hands Down…read moreMy husband and I wanted to give our dear friends who are leaving St. Louis one last unforgettable meal from their bucket list, so I immediately recommended Peno. I used to be a regular at Rosé with the same talented Chef Pepe, and his food is truly to die for. We walked in on a beautiful day and were lucky to snag a spot in their small parking lot (parking in the area isn't the easiest, but it's worth it). Our server, Harry, made the evening even better right from the start. He had such a warm, calm, professional presence--the kind that's rare these days. We instantly remembered his name thanks to a fun Harry Potter / Harry and the Hendersons reference, and he handled everything with effortless skill. When our friends had parking trouble, Harry quickly offered helpful suggestions. Then, when it was time to order, he elevated our meal in the best way possible. My husband and I got our longtime favorite--the Roberto pizza from Rosé days--and Harry suggested adding sausage and peppers. That small tweak took something we already loved and made it 1000% better. Absolute perfection. Our friend ordered the spaghetti (her all-time favorite comfort meal), and after taking Harry's thoughtful recommendation, she declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had in her life. We finished with the cheesecake. I'm extremely picky about cheesecake, but this one did not disappoint--it was creamy, rich, and flawless. This was one of those legendary meals you remember forever. The kind where you leave thinking you could die happy. Chef Pepe's food, paired with Harry's outstanding service, made it a perfect night. If you're in St. Louis, do yourself a favor and go to Peno. You won't regret it. Thank you, Harry and team--you helped create a truly special send-off for our friends!

A guy from my running group asked me which way it was, and I was like, "Uh, I think it's that way." A few places on this strip all have similar awnings. I thought I was lucky finding such a good spot. By the time I was done with my run, maybe an hour later, all of Clayton was an absolute ghost town. It makes me wonder what they'd have to put here to get people to visit Clayton during the evening, a 7 Brew? Inside is more along the lines of a bar, with a number of beers on tap and decor that may have been purchased from a Kohl's. I appreciated the way they had the beers on tap written on the wall in ginormous fonts, and I'm sure the elderly are similarly appreciative. Sometimes you ask these waiters what beers they have on tap and they act like they're doing you a favor by listing them. I asked this hillbilly they've got waiting tables at the Syberg's over on Dorsett what beers they have on tap, and he just said they have 30 of them. Uh, thanks? I wonder if he counted them. I went with the 4 Hands Incarnation, which I have at least once a week, because I get it for free. It seemed less "high gravity" than it does when you get it in the tall cans.Hmm... Usually, my move at these burger places is to order a bacon cheeseburger or a specialty burger that has bacon on it. 5 Star had such a burger listed first on their menu, making my choice easy enough. I toyed with the idea of ordering the Green Chile Cheeseburger, but not seriously. I wasn't sure what the green chiles would taste like, and what if they turned out to be gross? The Blue Ribbon Burger comes with bacon, port-braised onions and Gorgonzola cheese, along with LTOP. No, that's not a typo. You get thinly sliced red onions in addition to the port-braised onions. It feels weirdly generous of them, even though they're just onions, and all the fresh toppings are of a seemingly high quality. I was more ambivalent about the toppings specific to the Blue Ribbon Burger. I didn't dislike them, but I was less impressed by them than I would have expected. The bacon was good, but it was in crumbles and I think I would have liked it more if it were in thick, crispy strips. No Diddy. The cheese was either not flavorful enough or in not abundant enough quantity to be much of a factor. The onions, on the other hand, provided a nice flavor kick--less tart than I expected, more along the lines of the onions in a french onion soup. The fries were kinda whatever. They were good, being french fries and all, but not as gourmet as the menu would have you think. And they don't give you very many of them, if you get the regular serving. Weirdly, the regular serving doesn't cost much money, by Brandon-era standards, but the serving-size is decidedly skimpy. Why not just charge a normal amount and give you a normal quantity? Even the large won't exactly break the bank. I went with the small because I just wanted to see what they were like, for the sake of citizen food journalism. You're welcome.

However, we soon discovered the restaurant was short staffed and servers were in the deep weeds. It took a very long time to order water and drinks and an equally long time to receive them. In fact, we were very close to leaving, which is saying a lot since I've worked in restaurants for years. But this is not a negative review. As those who know, know....5 Star's kitchen crew saved the day by jumping right on our food order and getting us served quickly. Lynne enjoyed the always delicious Blue Ribbon burger...think gorganzola, bacon and port braised onions (aaahhh, sorry, I may have drooled a bit there). I tried the Burger-Of-The-Month, which was not actually a burger, but a sandwich And not just any sandwich, a classic Rueben. I love a good Rueben and this 5-Star version did not disappoint....loads of moist corned beef (yes, I said moist), sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing on marbled Rye! We also split the wonderful 5-Star Salad and a basket of Mixed Fries (combo of seasoned fries and sweet potato fries). This would have been a 3-Star review based on service but the food and drink saved the night!

Perfect ratios, taste and thank you God, COLD!! Someone please tell me why it is so hard to get a good martini and COLD???!! These cocktails were lovely We then ordered dinner. I had the chopped salad, and my husband had the lobster bisque. Both were fabulous! For our main dish I had the 10 oz filet off the menu, my husband had the filet special with the bone. Mine was with gorgonzola cheese and cabernet reduction my husbands was Oscar style. Both were perfect. We ordered the lobster mac n cheese and the asparagus - both perfect sides! We each had a glass of wine with dinner I had the prisoner and I cannot remember what my husband had - sorry - it was a cabernet - both accented the main dishes perfectly For the birthday dessert was a small chocolate espresso cake with small cheesecake. At first I was like, meh, cheesecake, but here I am surprised again. They brulee'd the top of the cheesecake - that took it to the next level and the chocolate espresso cake was fantastic with my red wine. The ambiance is pleasant. It was a busy night in the restaurant, and it has a certain buzz about it. There were times it was hard to hear the person sitting next to you (and yes, I have had my hearing checked and it is just fine). Mark our server obviously had been there for a while and knew his menu and drinks like the back of his hand. It was a wonderful dinner, but it was pricey - fair warning. $$$$
