While staying in town for a long weekend, I was craving sushi and happened to stumble upon this…read moresmall town gem. Ordering takeout online was quick and easy, and when I arrived, I was promptly greeted by the young people at the front counter who let me know my order would be ready in about 10 minutes. There is seating inside for those waiting on to go orders, so I took a seat while the meal was prepared, and took in the cozy space. Sure enough, about 10 minutes later my food comes out, ready to go. The young lady at the front counter explained they had given me a few crab rangoon on the house since it took a little longer to prepare than the online system estimated :.) The excellent service and kindness was much appreciated. The food was all delicious - across a variety of rolls including California, spider, rainbow, and spicy tuna, everything was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

The menu is diverse with a variety of rolls with several that seem similar to rolls from other locations. I went with the rock and roll and the queen roll. Starting with the positives is the attentiveness of service. Staff is friendly and inviting and read my mind with the recommendation of the rock and roll as I was considering that one! The rolls came out and they are packed with fresh ingredients and presented well. The exterior of the rock and roll was fried just enough to give nice crunchy texture with modest filling so you arent hunting around the roll figuring out where something is. The rolls were all cut evenly. The rock and roll was delicious, however sliced a little bigger than what I like but it comes with a lot so I get why its larger. The negatives - I thought the Queen roll was OK. I felt the white fish could've been crispier as it was rather soft. Everything felt more one note as the white fish had no real discernible flavor, paired with shrimp and avocado and it was mostly bland. Perhaps add another element and texture or make the white fish bigger and stand out more. Lastly, the soft drink had an unpleasant after taste. I ordered Dr Pepper and it tasted either like diet or the carbonation was going out on it. I'd be willing to return and try more of what you have to offer!

That said, the experience can be very inconsistent. The bar drinks are almost always made far too sweet, and we've had several issues with the food over the years.

Unfortunately, when we've brought these issues to the staff's attention, they have sometimes been argumentative instead of trying to make it right. When everything is prepared correctly, the food is absolutely worth the visit. However, because the quality is so hit-or-miss, it's difficult to know what kind of experience you'll have each time.

Peacemaker Lobster and Crab

Peacemaker Lobster and Crab was absolutely amazing. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food because…read morethere were so many things on the menu we wanted to try, and somehow, nearly everything we ordered was a hit. We started with Stella on tap, which just felt appropriate while visiting St. Louis, especially after touring the nearby Anheuser-Busch brewery. It was easily one of the freshest Stellas we've ever had. For food, we tried the lobster mac and cheese, lobster bisque with pieces of lobster, a pound of steamed crab legs, fried green tomatoes, and the warm lobster roll. The lobster roll was phenomenal. We shared it, but I honestly could have eaten the entire sandwich myself. The real standout, though, was just how perfectly the seafood was cooked. Both the lobster and crab were juicy, sweet, and tender with just the right amount of chew. Nothing was rubbery or overcooked, but it wasn't soft or mushy either. I genuinely don't think they could have cooked the seafood any better. The fried green tomatoes were also cooked perfectly and something I was excited to try since you don't see them on every menu. Unfortunately, they were a little too spicy for my personal taste, so we didn't finish them, but that's definitely more about my spice tolerance than the quality of the dish. The atmosphere was another plus. It's a really cute setup with great ambiance, and our server was wonderful. We also walked right in without a reservation and had no wait at all, which has honestly been one of our favorite things about eating our way through St. Louis. Coming from California, we're used to having to plan ahead for popular restaurants, sometimes weeks in advance. Here, we've been able to discover some fantastic places without having to plan our entire trip around restaurant reservations. I will say, this was probably the most expensive meal of our trip. The one pound of steamed crab legs was $65 market price, and the lobster roll was $37 market price, so Peacemaker definitely isn't the cheapest place we've eaten. That said, considering the quality of the seafood and how much we enjoyed everything, it was absolutely worth the splurge. From the crab legs to the lobster roll to the bisque and mac and cheese, everything we tried was delicious. Combine that with the atmosphere, great service, and being able to walk right in, and this was easily one of our favorite meals in St. Louis. I'm actually hoping I can convince some of my coworkers from my training class to go back with me before I leave Missouri. I think that probably says everything you need to know about how much I enjoyed it.

The gator po'boy was good, though on the dryer side. I would have loved more of the sauce on mine. The chips were perfectly crispy crunchy! My partner got the lobster roll and scarfed it down in a few bites. A bit on the pricier side since it's based on the market value, but still delicious. Great location and delicious food, we'll be back!

We wished for a bigger dish for the small cups of gumbo and red beans and rice because they were so good! I'm sure they'd come a bit more seasoned or spicer in the south, but in MO, they seemed to tame it down a bit - still delicious though! (And there are two hot sauces and a Cajun spice blend at the table.) The wedge salad with the homemade blue cheese dressing was delicious!! I'd order the dressing on the side though - our salad was swimming a bit... Enjoy your stop!!

I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant, so we gave it a shot a couple of times. Both times our orders were delivered to the table cold and something was incorrect. (Wrong salad dressing, wrong sides, etc.) The food was ok, but it didn't live up to its reputation. The seafood stuffed mushrooms were inedible, cold, and the stuffing was burnt. The service was average, but they were very busy. We asked for a manager once and were told they were too busy to speak to us. The ambiance was nice except for the noise. Tables are so close together you hear the conversations at every table. We couldn't talk over the noise. I was really disappointed because we went on our anniversary and had to pay for our meal there and then go to another restaurant to get a hot, edible meal. I'm not sure I'd give them another shot. read more

An unexpected gem in downtown Washington. My wife and I tried The Tilted Skillet on our rare date night. I can't recommend this place enough. The atmosphere was classy, but welcoming. The staff are friendly and skilled. And the food.... Not only are the prices on the low side, but the quality was top notch. I ordered the chicken fried chicken (one of my favorite dishes, and one I often order at restaurants) and am both happy and sad to report that not only was it far and above THE best I've ever had, but that it has ruined me on the dish from any other establishment. It was that good. The gravy was indescribably good. My wife said her Reuben sandwich was amazing as well. This will be our go to place anytime we are in Washington. You have to try it. read more

An odd sign in the entry notes that are no longer accepting their previously issued gift certificates (wait, so you took money for these and are no longer honoring them?), but it didn't impact me. The food was where things went south. It took 30 minutes in a half full restaurant. I ordered the namesake Tattooed Dog, as I've had it before. It arrived with onion rings... 4 of them, from medium down to small. The dog was mostly warm (not hot), but withered like it had been cooking for a while. The meat was placed atop chili that was cold... cold enough to rob the warmth from some spots of the dog. The bun was a soggy mess, and none of the cheese was melted, so it couldn't have been under the heat lamp. It looked fanciful when served, but it was very underwhelming eating compared to past experiences. My wife had the chicken wrap, served with French fries. In a day and age when competitors give out fries like they need to clear an overstocked situation, it was a small handful that would normally be found in a Happy Meal from the famous clown. The wrap itself was shy on the chicken, and heavy on the dressing inside. What used to be a nice place, appears to be sliding downhill, as if the kitchen has given up. If they've checked out, so have we.
