It was pretty quiet when I visited on a weekday afternoon, but I can see this place being a great atmosphere on a Friday or Saturday with live music. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming--definitely looking forward to coming back.

Nice little bar attached to a meat market on the Katy Trail. I've only been on relatively slow days…read moreso not sure how it is when it's hopping. They have tvs to watch sports and food is ordered from the bar and picked up at a window nearby. I had wings which were a hot honey variety and I thought they were good. Just crispy enough and a good sized wing. The burger was also very good. Cooked with some pink inside still and I didn't even ask for it that way. The meat comes from their nearby farm says the bartender. Service is good. Met the owner lady who was very nice. All around good time for me.

I had the grilled chicken sandwich and house salad with vinaigrette house dressing. She had the French dip and same salad. Chicken sandwich was charbroiled to perfection and topped with the perfect bacon and garnishes. I enjoyed every bite. Her French dip looked to be the perfect medium rare and came on a fresh French bread. My buddy and his wife both ordered the pork chops. 2 chops smothered in peppers, onions and the most rich gravy that could be a meal in itself. I had the bread pudding for dessert which was amazing....i can't believe I ate the whole thing!! Greta place, great service!!

We went for a late lunch and ordered two steak dinners along with appetizers…read more I have read on previous reviews that the flash fried spinach was delicious. Hmm, I found it interesting. it reminded me of air popped spinach that was very light and crunchy without a lot of taste. I believe I burned calories of the spinach just by chewing it! I encourage people to try it, just because it is so different. It makes a beautiful presentation. The steak was pretty good and the vegetable medley was delicious along with the salad. The next time I go, I will order the vegetables and the salad and try the toasted raviolis as an appetizer. The drive to Hawthorne Inn is beautiful from Eureka. Drive slowly and enjoy the serenity of the farms and beautiful homes along the way.

My fiancé and I have been on a Route 66 "kick" lately. Somehow, this place flew under my radar, but…read moreI am glad that I found it! I love an authentic Route 66 stop, and this is certainly one of those. From the road, it's difficult to tell how big the place actually is. Once inside, it opens up and really shares its character. We went on a Thursday evening, and it was packed, but not uncomfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone. Our server was friendly and efficient, and she seemed genuinely invested in customer experiences. Our food was outstanding, and there was plenty of it! We even had room for dessert: a chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. It was the size of a dinner plate! This was an outstanding indulgence, and I can't wait to have another one, as soon as my glycemic index allows. LOL The restrooms were pretty darn rough. Urine all over the floor, overflowing trash can, filthy toilet, etc., gave the impression that it hadn't been cleaned since the Route 66 days. Here, I am not focusing on that, since it's not what we came here for. Our overall experience was fantastic and memorable. We look forward to returning to this special historic establishment.

I'd heard of this place a number of times over the years and thought it was time to check it out…read more Big mistake. First off, the place is old and dingy and needs an update badly. It's just kind of dirty everywhere. Our table had that tacky feel to it. There were dirty dishes piled up in a lot of places and about 30 or so dirty glasses piled up by the bar. Our server wasn't great. We waited a few minutes before she came over and took our drink order. She never delivered our drinks to us. After a while, we realized they were just sitting on the bar. The bartender saw us looking at them and delivered them to our table. After all that, the drinks were not good. We questioned whether there was actually any alcohol in them. We were finally able to order our entrees. I wanted a pizza. I was told they weren't doing pizza, brisket, and something else that night. She said I could have flatbread instead, so I got that. I ordered it with pepperoni, pineapple (yeah, I know - but I like it), and red onion. It was not good. The sauce was bad. It has to be plain label crap from a store somewhere. The toppings were few and far between. I didn't even eat half of it and just gave up. When our server asked if I wanted a box, I said no because it wasn't good. She said, sorry - didn't ask what was wrong with it, etc. My husband ordered the Bros. Champion Burger with tots. It's a burger with pulled pork on it. His burger was way overcooked. The pulled pork seemed to be okay. He loves tots and didn't eat them. He said they tasted like they'd been cooked in oil that had been used to cook a lot of other items as well. You may think that maybe they were understaffed. I don't believe so as I saw a number of staff members standing around chatting frequently. Our server was sitting down drying silverware. We were ready to pay and get the heck out of there. We had to get another server, to go get ours because she wasn't looking around, not checking on her tables, nothing - just chilling and drying flatware. There was absolutely nothing that made us want to go back.

I decided to visit over the weekend to do some wine tastings. The venue was very nice and I believe…read moreI may have been there for a wedding before. It was also pouring unexpectedly but that's no ones fault, obviously. The venue was clean but acoustics does make average conversation sound loud that I had trouble hearing the person next to me or the bartenders. I did the non reserve wine sampling which allotted 5 samples for $10. Many of which were made on property with Missouri wines and some west coast offerings. I tend to go for sweeter wines and found my selection to be quite palatable with two standouts as my favorite with the Schitts and Giggles and Lauren's Sweet Vignoles. I really would've preferred the tasting to be separate from the big room and more intimate as to learn more about the wine. Once poured, I was largely left alone standing at the bar where they only offer the sampling and so I felt a little awkward. One gentleman poured rather large portions while the other gave the appropriate amount. A water chaser would've been ideal between both to cleanse the palate. I do think a more intimate setting for sampling is preferred so I am not competing with the rest of the room and I am able to ask questions. The bartenders poured and left and you were on your own!

She did a good job though. Came here for our anniversary, and when making the reservation they ask if it's a special occasion, so we told. They never said anything or did anything special, no big deal but why ask. The first course was delicious bread and butter. And something else I'm forgetting. The one slice of bread they give should have been a warning sign. Between the two of us we ordered everything on the menu. Minus the wine/cockrails, we don't drink. I order a phenomenal lemonade though. I said "holy shit" when I took my first sip. The food was very good but the portions were so small I didn't feel like I could really establish if I liked something or not. It was unique food which is fun but i couldn't tell you if i found something new because there wasn't enough to appreciate it. It was beautifully presented and much of it was really delicious. The desserts especially. By the end of the meal we were both still hungry. It's kind of a rule for me if you're going to go out to a fancy place and spend the money you Really should not leave hungry. I would give this place 1 star for that alone but it's in a small town and I just can't. The peanut butter cookies they talk up at the end honestly felt like kind of a joke they were so small. It was literally someone's thumbprint size. You get one. We both looked at each other and laughed. We had fun but be prepared to go home and make a second dinner. Or there's always Taco Bell.

The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating for those dining in. This is one of the only truly authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I got one each of the asada and pastor tacos, they were fabulous. They come with plenty of onion and cilantro on top, as well as an almost creamy salsa. Zero complaints. I gave the shrimp ceviche a try as well--the flavor was on point, however the avocado had seen better days. The shrimp was still a little gray as well. It was a very generous portion though, for one tostada--definitely not complaining! ;) I'm excited to eat my way through this menu--so, so happy to see more authentic cuisines in the Saint Charles area.

That salsa was so so good but definitely has heat to it so I'm glad I started with a small amount. I love that they are also a shop so you can buy Mexican staples and dried chili peppers and things like that. Looking forward to trying some other things they offer! The staff was really nice too.
