I placed my order online and my food was ready within 10 minutes. The Reuben and Mac & cheese (topped with red hot riplets!) were so delicious! These sandwiches are legit. The space itself is basically dive bar aesthetic. Grab a drink at the bar and wait to be surprised by how good the food is! read more

This place is amazing! Definitely be aware the saying this is a 'sandwich place' sells it short by so much. The sandwiches can be huge and are packed with flavor. The staff is chill and usually food comes out pretty quickly. They frequently have live music and generally the vibes are on point. I almost always gravitate towards the pulled pork and steak sandwiches and have not been disappointed yet. You could probably come here a dozen times over and try something new every time and leave happy. read more

Loved both sandwiches and the mashed potatoes were garlicky and delicious. The walk up ordering service is nice but there is limited seating so better to have more than one person to go ahead and snag a table when available. The guitarist for the night was incredible and really set the vibe. There is a pool table and pinball machine, there are also board games to choose from. Definitely will be coming back to try more sandwiches. (4.5 stars only for seating). read more

The Gramophone is in the Grove was exactly what we needed when we had time to eat before a family adventure with out of towners. We had 8 people for lunch and got one of the huge tables in the front. The printed menus make ordering a breeze and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Mississippi Night Sandwich small and it so good. I am a sucker for good bread and the Gramophone has warm, crusty, and chewy bread. The spicy red pepper spread is great. One person in the family got their sandwich on a salad and loved that option. The Danimal was also a group favorite. Everyone said the lunch stop was a win, I can not wait to return and try other items on the large menu. read more

The food is delicious. Ordered a sandwich as a salad and it was delicious. The Buffalo sauce has a great kick to it without being too much. They have a large patio with shaded options, which was needed on the hot spring Saturday. Ordering was efficient, though the bartenders were a bit aggressive and short. I know they were trying to get people taken care of, but for a first-timer it was a little off-putting. They had live music inside, which would have been great to be able to hear on the patio rather than the house music. This felt like a missed opportunity, in my opinion. Ultimately I chose four stars because there could have been a little more chicken on the salad. read more

The Gramophone - Buffalo Soldier as a salad. - Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This is by far the BEST sandwich spot in STL. This spot in the Grove is a must visit for locals and out-of-town-ers. I'm not a huge sandwich fan, but anytime I crave one I always think of this spot. They have such a huge menu that there's a sandwich for everyone! We ordered the Havana this time and I think it's my new favorite sandwich here! Amazing cold cuts and the perfect sauce. read more

Good sandwiches, fair price, good, attentive service. We had the Reuben and the Italian sandwich, both quite good.

Had today's special. I think it was called "The Manhattan" It was amazing!! Great pairing of the meats on a baguette. So freaking good. Ordered ahead and our sandwiches were waiting for us in the heated to-go box. Why isn't every restaurant using these boxes??? Great job today! read more

It was amazing! There was great live music and probably the best buffalo chicken sandwich I've had! The food came out very quickly too! read more

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this place for sometime now. We finally decided to stop by for lunch and let me tell you the sandwiches were amazing! I got a whole chicken parm with no marinara and ate the whole thing, which is not a regular occurrence for me!! It was super busy so the food took a while to come out but they offer board games to play while you wait:) Everyone was super friendly, great service! They even played live music. Will be coming back!! read more

Amazing sandwiches. Some of the best in stl. We loved the Enzo Gorlomi and club sandwich.

On a visit to saint louis stopped in for a late lunch at the Gramaphone. We sat at the bar and had great service. The bartender even offered me a sample of a beer he overheard us talking about. We spilt an Alcatraz and side of the macaroni. Both were delicious and it's clear everything is made by hand. If you like trying local beers and homemade delicious sandwiches stop in this place. read more

A lively, fun atmosphere. Really good food. I got the "walk this way" and it had a very unique tasty flavor. The apple butter worked really well with the other flavors going on and I would recommend it. The Mac and cheese was also pretty good. The Mac and cheese quality itself wasn't insane but it was nice and creamy and came with some spicy chipotle chips on top which gave it an enjoyable unique flavor. The service was fair. I went with a group of 3 and it took us about 40 min to get our sandwiches but it was super busy so it was understandable... Looking back on the experience I should have just ordered ahead. read more

Never disappoints. Came by after a date to the circus (literally) and it was one of the chill nights. We masked up, went in and found our seat. The menu QR codes are on the tables as a sticker. We ordered half an Alcatraz, half a Walk This Way, Loaded potatoes, and Half house salad with berry vinaigrette. Alcatraz: on sourdough, roast beef, onions and Swiss and provel cheese. It was hot, and very tasty. Walk this Way: on Ciabatta. Very filling. Those jalapeños were fresh so they were hot. Nice kick! Potatoes: Pretty good. Being loaded mashed potatoes and twice baked. Nice crisp to a flavorful side. House salad: Fresh. Refreshing piece to counter all the baked/grilled goods I've never been disappointed here. And my gf enjoyed her food as well (first timer) read more

Chill Saturday lunch at this cool bar/sandwich joint in The Grove. Our daughter has been raving about their sandwiches and we needed a place to catch a bit of college football. Bartender was awesome and switched one TV to our teams game upon request. We did show up right at opening. They offer a decent variety of craft beer on tap. They'll also give ya a taster before you commit which I appreciated. The sandwiches? Yes. Excellent tasting, well-portioned sandwich offerings. Unlike lots of sandwich joints, they organize the menu by type of bread the sandwich comes on vs. the meat inside. No matter, they will gladly sub a different bread if requested. My husband and I split the Jive (on sourdough instead of baguette) and the Havana. Mmmm... I especially loved the Jive - turkey, bacon, avocado spread... yes please! The Havana also hit the spot. Really well-conceived and we'll-prepared sandwiches. Daughter's Delcortivo lived up to her expectations and she took the second half home. Two meals! Happy to have tried this cool spot! read more

Decided to finally try Gramophone on a rainy and dreary Saturday. My first impression is that this was just another hipster bar, but the real deal here are the sandwiches. Even on a dreary Saturday for a late lunch there was live music and it was packed. They have a nice beer selection as well, so it was definitely a nice spot to watch sports. Also on a nicer day the back patio would definitely be a great place to hang out. For the food, you won't be let down because they have a huge selection, quality ingredients, and awesome bread! We settled on the General Patton and The Beef sandwiches which were both top notch. Ultimately, Gramophone is a great spot that knows what it does best and delivers in the promise of great sandwiches! read more

The Gramophone - Modern Brewing Choice Nugs IPA - Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We must have walked into a different restaurant than everyone else here. I didn't find much redeeming qualities in this place. We went in on a Sunday afternoon. Happy to try a new place. When we got there there were a few tables taken and we saw the sign at the hostess stand that asks you to seat yourself. So we did. We saw the sign on the table that asks to scan the QR code to look at the menu. So we did. We even noticed the sign on the back wall as you come in that said that's where the line started to pick up food. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Until we noticed another couple and the man walked up to the bar and ordered. So I did the same (didn't know we had to do that, there were no indications). Ordered, was given a number and was told they'd bring the food to us. I ordered two diet cokes (which I'm later to learn weren't actually cokes) and went back to sit down. Y'all....if there was more than a half a cup of drink in with the filled-to-the-brim-with-ice to-go cup I'd be surprised. We drank sparingly, didn't know if we could go back up to the bar to get refills. That's fine. The food arrived in due time wrapped in foil paper wrapped with butcher paper/parchment paper and taped shut. Here's where things went south in a fast way. I had ordered "The People's Pastrami" and it was mushier than shit. The bread was soaked through and I couldn't even pick it up. No worries...now I know not to get something on regular/rye bread. Lesson learned. So I decided to just eat the meat. Y'all I've never had saltier pastrami. I beg you, please please try this sandwich and let me know if it's me or what. I couldn't get through the meat, so hardly ate anything. **See picture, taken after the first bite of pastrami itself. About a minute after receiving our order. It's hard to tell what it is. My wife chose the Phil and Cheds Excellent Adventure. Which was basically a strip of meat on a baguette. Nothing bad about it but nothing special. And, unless I'm missing something, the menu had no mention of sides. Was there a part 2 to the menu that we totally missed? Seriously, look at the menu photos posted here and tell me, again, if I was missing something. Maybe we just got the wrong thing, maybe you have to have gone there multiple times in order to fully enjoy it, I don't know. Would I go back? Probably not. Would I go back if someone was dying to go? Sure. read more

The self-proclaimed "Sandwich King" deserves a literal crown! The Gramophone has something for everyone. You like music, they got it. You like beer, you're in luck. Looking for a patio, they got the coolest. Need a Bloody Mary, they have one that even includes a sandwich! So their sandwiches aren't for the faint of heart. They are big and delicious and totally worth the wait! My favorites are the Mississippi Nights Club and the Alcatraz, although every sandwich I've ever had was incredible. Be sure to check out their specials board for what is new for the week and sides. This week they had loaded mashed potatoes and broccoli quinoa salad that were both life changing! Pro-tip: you can now order online for pickup and delivery! The sandwiches do take a while, so either order ahead or be patient. Also, you can order half sandwiches.. GET MULTIPLE! read more

Been going here for three years, my girlfriend of three years who has been going here the same amount of time is me just got kicked out for being "underaged" (she's 23 years old and he was using an app to scan IDs) I asked them to call the cops, and they wouldn't they just physically pushed us out of the building. Definitely never coming back, I completely feel like this is not a safe place for gay people. The food may be good, but the quality of service is worth a skip. Never coming back. read more

Great food! Everytime I go it's a whole vibe you want to enjoy. 10/10 if you want great food, this is your spot.

I don't go here regularly but I have very satisfied with each visit. Definitely worth the money because the sandwiches are delicious and hearty. read more

I ordered the Lou York to go. It's a pastrami sandwich with a unique slaw served on rye bread. I thought the pastrami used was just ok. It seemed to be middle-of-the-road quality and didn't have any unique flavor with it that I noticed. I think that's partially due to the slaw being on the sandwich. The bread used just seemed ok as well. Maybe I'm not a big fan of rye bread but it seemed like something you could pick up at a grocery store. When I placed my order online it said pick up time was in 25 minutes but they texted me my sandwich was ready in 5 minutes. I would have preferred to know when the sandwich was ready ahead of time so I wouldn't have to let it sit. I would disagree with the approach of making the sandwich 20 minutes ahead of pickup time, however they keep it in a hot box for you and I'm pretty sure the bread was toasted so it's probably fine I just think it's unneeded expedition. read more

Wow what a place!! This was recommended by several friends so when I was in the area I had to stop in. I was not disappointed!! It is an order at the bar place, but we found a table and decided on food and drink before we went up. All three of our sandwiches were awesome. On impulse we got the Mexican Street Corn and Mashed Potato sides, SO glad we did. Those were perfection!! The beer selection was extensive and the soda choices were great(Lucky Cola). I will most definitely be back!! read more

I'm not the biggest sandwich fan, but this place may have changed me. It came recommended form a friend and wow he was right. Went to St. Louis for a wedding and luckily this place was right down the street from the Airbnb. You go to the counter to order and they bring out the sandwich, simple and easy. There's a lot of seating, but it's open late and popular, so we ended up sitting outside. There's a bar with plenty of drinks (the cocktails we got were ok, may recommend a beer). The sandwich menu has something for everyone & even the half sandwiches are huge. The upstream dream was delicious with salmon and delicious toppings. The Mississippi nights club came highly recommended and it was so well balanced and delicious. Bread is really good and they don't skimp on toppings. Simple sides are bags of chips, but definitely worth it for a sandwich whether it be dinner or a late night snack! read more

First timer here. Left: 1/2 Enzo Gorlomi and Right: 1/2 Phil & Ched's Excellent Adventure. My lunch date and I chose these two sandwiches and ordered a whole sandwich of each and then traded halves. I loved the Enzo Gorlomi (Capicola, salami, pepperoni, sopressata, provolone, pepper mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Italian vinaigrette, and spicy giardiniera. Served on a sesame baguette.) It was so messy and I used a stack of napkins. The Phil & Ched's Excellent Adventure (Grilled flank steak, white cheddar, and sauteed onions and peppers. Served on garlic buttered baguette) I only took one bite of. I was full and I was less enamored with it. Very green pepper heavy. Definitely need to try a few more sandwiches though! I'm not the biggest Mac n Cheese fan but we definitely had FOMO because everyone in there was eating it! I'll need to try that too! Loved the space and the vibe here. I will absolutely be back! read more
