Great! 2) You have to use your cell phone connected to YouTube to select karaoke songs and there were no electrical outlets in the room. So we had to rotate cellphones based on who had the most battery life left. 3) The furniture has seen better days (leather couch peeling) and the corners of the room were not cleaned well. Of course we brought our own cleaning supplies because that's what we do . Overall we had a great time and I would visit them again.

Once allowed in, a server throughout your booking will be there to help you and take drink orders. Bringing them directly to your room. I was here for a birthday party, and it was a great time! With a screen to pick songs, large TVs with lyrics, and microphones for singing. Grab some friends and come check it out! You and your besties are sure to have a great evening together.

JooJoo is delicious! I crave this place now…read more I've tried a handful of Korean restaurants and think this is the best Korean food in St. Louis County. I really like that they offer stir-fried octopus (Nakji Bokum) not just stir-fried squid (Ohjinguh Bokum). Their Seafood & Tofu soup (Seafood Sundubu) comes out piping hot and is another favorite. My boyfriend got the "Grilled-at-Table" Brisket (Chaldobaki) option which was fun to use the grill to cook right at our table. Our server was attentive and assisted with the flat-top grill at our table. We shared the large size Japanese lager beer Sapporo. I love that JooJoo includes Banchan, small side dishes, with the meal like kimchi, soybean sprouts, black beans, fish cakes, etc. They're happy to bring you more of something if you take particularly to one side. We could hear a group doing karaoke in a separate room from the dining area but it wasn't disruptive to the dining experience at all. The dining area was very clean and spacious with not all tables having the flat top grill for the barbecue. The only disappointing part was that for food-safety reasons we had to cook the leftover remaining brisket slices if we wanted to take it in a to-go box but we understand! I can't wait to go back! Maybe for karaoke too next time!

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but since it's a bit out of the city and in the…read moresuburbs, I didn't walk in with super high expectations. I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

I lived in St. Louis from 2013 to 2020, and during that time, the Crack Fox almost singlehandedly kept the Downtown bar scene alive. Six years later, I am back in STL for work--just four days, but I had to make sure I checked in here, at a bar I can now safely say is truly special. My current city has no comparable equivalent. Bars like The Crack Fox--that is, neighborhood dive bars that make great cocktails, with actual character and passion--bars that care more about what they do than the money they make doing it... these bars are rare. They're rarer than I thought they'd be back in 2020. You've got something special here, St. Louis. Take care of it.

We arrived a little after 11 and found a space in the back parking lot. The lot is convenient as it's pretty well-lit and is diagonal from the CF. We entered through the back where the deck is and walked right in. Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.

I'm tempted to suggest that this is a pizza, wings and t-ravs place--which is all you need, really. If you include beer, which they have, that's all four food groups. (That might actually be true, come to think of it.) I've had the burgers here once or twice, here and at other locations, and I seem to recall them being fine--probably a cut above anything you'd get at a fast food restaurant, and for not much more, but not anything you'd travel for. If you lived in the adjacent hotel for some reason (trying to put together first-and-last on a place in a "good school district," perhaps), you'd be all set. I was there with my parents because they wanted to get the Sunday special fried chicken dinner. Deals like that are like catnip for the elderly. It's an okay deal for the price, and it's reminiscent of a time when a lot of these local sit-down places used to do fried chicken on Sundays. We used to get it sometimes at the Culpeppers near 270 and Olive. It was both much cheaper than this deal and all you could eat. Of course you had to walk there to get it, uphill both ways. (It really was all you can eat.) I didn't order the fried chicken, but I did get a chance to try it. It was good! It was maybe a little bit dry, but it was fried *hard*, like the chicken wings from the hood spot on the Fugees' The Score, to continue with the '90s theme, and it was seasoned well. Weirdly, you have to pick one (just one) side from the list of sides that come with the sandwiches, and there's a dearth of traditional fried chicken sides, like green beans and mashed potatoes. My parents had mac and cheese (which cost extra) and steamed vegetables, neither of which looked like they were that good. But the fried chicken honestly wasn't half bad. I already kinda knew what to expect with the pizza. It's St. Louis style and roughly on a par with Imo's, for what it's worth. The cheese might be better, but the other toppings probably vary depending on what you get. I got the pepperoni, which was fine. Maybe a little bit thin, like the pepperoni they had to use on pizzas during the Great Depression. They load you up on cheese, and like I said, it's a somewhat higher quality cheese. It's not weirdly liquid when it's hot, and it has a satisfyingly substantive chew to it once it's had a chance to cool down a bit. They could have left it in the oven a bit longer, but it wasn't undercooked, just not quite as crisp as I require. I know you have to tell them to do that at Domino's, or else they pull it out of the oven early, to save money that they pass on to you, the consumer, in the form of app deals that seem almost too good to be true. The pizza, if I read the menu correctly, only comes in two sizes, one which seemed like it might be too small and one that was definitely too big for one person. The 12" might honestly be fine for most people who don't have some sort of disorder, which, honestly, might be much of this place's customer base. I ate a whole 16" anyway (no Diddy), along with that chicken. What can I say? It was good, and I'm as pathetic as anyone else who eats here, if not more so.

The building does a lot of the work here: an old place sitting in the middle of Old Town Florissant's residential blocks, with a bar, a dining room, a porch, and a patio we didn't get to use (next cool evening, we will). It's charming, and a real asset to that neighborhood. It is also loud. Old plaster, hard surfaces, not enough hung on the walls to absorb any of it. The old fashioned was solid, sweeter than I prefer. Appetizers were the low point: toasted ravioli thick and hard enough to qualify as gum scratchers (filling was fine), flatbread middle of the road. Then the kitchen found its footing. Parmesan-encrusted chicken won the table, with a nice rice-orzo pilaf and green beans that weren't overcooked. The Jameson whiskey burger came blue cheese, bacon, crispy onions, glaze, brioche, and ate dry (although ordered medium): too many rich flavors, nothing acidic to cut through them. Burnt ends mac and cheese was good and rich, but the brisket wasn't tender as I had hoped. We caught a night with only one dessert (a moist Lemon Sunshine cake that tasted like a Dreamsicle) and ice cream to put beside it. Christy took good care of us, efficiently and strictly by the book. 3.7 out of 5 stars Punch up the apps, and bring some balance to some of the entrees and this would bring up my rating to the low 4s. Bring the relatives who flinch at a menu. Acid somewhere on the plate, tender brisket, ice cream by the cake, and something soft on those walls would move this up quickly.
