Came for the sleigh shed pop up bad. The decor is nice with lots of Christmas decorations. The pop up bar drinks were delicious and service was great. Unfortunately the food fell very short. The deviled eggs were very vinegary almost to the point of difficulty eating them. The bruschetta also fell very short. My advice would be to go for Christmas drinks and enjoy the scenery. If you stop by the hostess stand they will validate your ticket for parking also! read more

My friends and I stopped at The Train Shed for lunch yesterday; we were on a tight schedule because we were headed to the Arch for a tour. We explained our dilemma to our hostess and she was extremely accommodating--giving us menus while we waited the 5 minutes for our table to be ready so we'd be able to order as soon as we were seated. Many thanks to her for her problem-solving! HUGE kudos go to Alex, our server; she was friendly and welcoming and easily accommodated our need to order as soon as possible, as well as our questions and requests for modifications for some dishes before we ordered. She checked back with us frequently to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Our lunches were DELICIOUS! We all had the beet salad with grilled chicken added; the blend of greens, beets, asparagus and red onions was fresh and tasty, and the grilled chicken was a perfect addition. We sampled both the lemon vinaigrette and the red wine vinaigrette, and decided the latter was the better dressing for the salad. (Again, thank you to Alex for accommodating our requests for food modification!) The good news was that we were able to make it to our Arch tour on time! Many thanks to everyone at The Train Shed for keeping us stress-free in our visit to St Louis! read more

The ambiance was everything! Food was fresh and the service was amazing. All around great vibe

Fun! Festive! There is a bit of a wait but it is at the train station and there are things to do while you wait.

The pictures that I posted does this place no justice it's a very beautiful place from the moment you walk in. The wait staff was very friendly, the waiter me and my party had was attentive, he made sure to come back to our table to make sure what we needed if anything was available to us. He had only been there 2 days but with his service he gave I would have thought he had been there for a while. The drink I ordered was a hot cocoa, with chocolate liqueur and a toasted marshmallow on top. It was made to perfection, I also ordered an appetizer of nachos and for my dinner a smash burger with fries when the food came to our table I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size then I realized now how will I eat all of this food because it was plentiful, I had no business ordering an appetizer and a meal but they both were delicious. I am assuming this place is very busy on the weekend and I can totally understand why but per the website they ask you to tap the waitlist button but because we went on Tuesday we were able to walk right in without joining a wait list, there's plenty of these Christmas pop up bars in our surrounding area but I can say that I'm glad I chose this one, this one set the tone for how all pop up bars should be. read more

Delicious fresh and hot food!! Our server was Alex. They were attentive and helpful when deciding on drafts. We ordered a bunch of apps in this open clean space. Right by the aquarium and the big koi pond. Waffle fries seasoned and crisp. Wings (sauce on side) fried perfectly and they were seasoned. The humans plate was huge!! Olives, peppers, carrots and yummies. We would absolutely return and try more things. This first try was delicious!! read more

The food here is absolutely not worth the steep prices. If you're okay with being overcharged, then by all means, give it a try--but for a kid's meal, a chicken sandwich, a mediocre salad, and a drink, our bill came to over $100. While the location is convenient if you're visiting the aquarium, the prices are excessive--$25 for a drink is outrageous, especially when paired with long wait times for both food and beverages. To make matters worse, our party of five was automatically charged a 20% gratuity, and then prompted to tip again. The most disappointing item was the salad, which was little more than plain greens, a few pecans, and some dressing. Definitely not worth the price. If you're looking to eat after your visit to the aquarium, I strongly recommend heading outside of Union Station. The restaurants inside seem to bank on convenience alone, with prices that far exceed the quality of food and service. read more

The Train Shed is a holiday pop up bar located in St. Louis. They offered a wide variety of Christmas cocktails including hot chocolate inspired cocktails and egg nog inspired cocktails! They also have a full menu including appetizers, pizzas, burgers/sandwiches, entrees, and desserts. My party and I sat at the bar today as the wait was long and it was very busy! Train Shed is decorated really nicely and was so festive! This place definitely got me into the Christmas spirit. I ordered the Three Kings cocktail which is a hot chocolate inspire cocktail with different chocolate liquors garnished with some roasted marshmallows. This cocktail had a deep chocolate flavor to it which was delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich for dinner. The chicken breast was flavored well, but was small relative to the bun. The fries were crispy and tasted good. Overall, this was a nice way to kick off the Christmas season! read more

Getting seated was long and not according to our time giving on the automated text messages from the restaurant. Waited an additional 35 minutes. Cobb Salas is amazing. Waitress was nice but disappeared after we got our food. My family from out of town liked the food they received. read more

I was at Train Shed on a sunny Saturday for lunch, and my party of 6 (2 young children) didn't have any trouble getting seated. Service was very good, and people checked in on us periodically. They have a nice kids menu. The cheese pizza is a French bread pizza, so my picky eater ended up not touching it. (The grownups enjoyed it the next day as leftovers.) I really enjoyed the beet salad, which was a reasonable $9. I also ordered the mac & cheese ($21), which came with grilled chicken. The pasta was a corkscrew shape, which aforementioned picky eater enjoyed (phew!). I thought the chicken was on the dry side, but the flavor was pretty good. The cocktail list looked great! I didn't partake of it this time around, but looking forward to trying something next time. read more

Went for holiday pop up and the cocktails were tasty but we were placed in the back corner in the side room, so it was chilly and the holiday theme/vibe wasn't as prominent. Next time I'd ask to sit at the bar! The 2 drinks we ordered were great and the pizza was good too. However, they were out of some of the ingredients for the pizza we ordered and didn't let us know, so we were a bit let down when it arrived and would have ordered something different had we know. Overall, 4/5... nothing to write home about but convenient if you're at union station. read more

I had a great time at the Train Shed when it was dressed for the holidays as the Sleigh Shed! The decor was super festive and the cocktails for the holiday were also fun and tasty! We went during the day on Christmas Eve and since we got there around 11:30 am, we were seated right away so the trick is to get there right when they open! Upon arriving, the hostess was able to get my family a table for the 4 of us and then Lindsey was our server and she was friendly and efficient. We ordered some hummus and a pizza to share at the table and then we each ordered a holiday cocktail. The BBQ chicken pizza was really good! It had a sweet heat to it that I couldn't quite stop eating. The hummus was also really good with all the sides (carrots, celery, olives, peppers, etc). It was such a nice time with good snacks and good drinks! I actually need to add this plans to my HH list close to campus since it's easy to get to and parking is easy to find. read more

I came here for the Sleigh Shed pop up. For this event, they aren't doing reservations, so having read other reviews, we decided to stop by fairly early. We put our name in just after 3pm, and were seated at 4:25. When we sat down, there were over 50 parties on the waitlist. Go early. The drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive, though the charcuterie board arrived fairly soon after we ordered it. Maybe a bit pricey for the amount you get, but it was good. We tried the un-fig-getable, hococoa, and Santa's red eye from the themed cocktail list. Of those, the un-fig-getable was easily the best. As for the food, I had the chicken sandwich, while my companion had the country fried steak. Apparently, the Country Fried Steak was the right choice. The chicken, I wouldn't recommend. It was a low percentage choice, since it's grilled chicken (which a lot of restaurants do poorly), but even the fries weren't warm. It was still okay, but not great. It's very much a mixed bag, and you need to keep that in mind with your expectations. The drinks and decorations are probably a 5, but not having reservations and people having long waits drops that down. Had I not known that I needed to get there early to get a table, I probably would have ended up skipping the place after seeing the wait. read more

Ambiance and decor was amazing because the restaurant looked like a Christmas dreamscape setting. Nine of us arrived at 4:40 pm on a Saturday and we were told 2.5 hr wait for two tables. Received a text at 6 pm saying a table of five would be ready between 6:30-7 pm, but no mention of the table for four. Showed up at 6:40 and we were told the table for four was ready but the one for five would be another fifteen minutes. That table didn't get seated until 7:05. Still, everything seemed ok at that point, but the service was almost nonexistent, it took forever to get anything, such as water, and the food almost didn't make it out in time. (We had an 8 pm deadline to make it to the Polar Express tent for boarding the train). Worse, my wife's food never arrived and they never acknowledged it, nor did they apologize. Nothing. Pretty pathetic in the service department. Food was fair/good, but certainly nothing to write home about. We split Brussels spouts for an appetizer and they were good but overly sauced. Salmon was way overcooked, ham entree was tough, turkey club was ok but not great. Burger was the best item at our table. Overall, very disappointing. I would recommend eating elsewhere and coming back only for a drink towards the end of the night. read more

Good food, Great location at Union Station, and ample seating. Granted the menu is pricey, especially the cocktails and beers. Service is good, but the kitchen takes a minute to get your food out. Kids menu is seriously lacking and the sides just suck. Seriously, nearly every major dish comes with Brussel sprouts or artichokes......horrible decisions there. read more

Absolutely stunning decor. This place is amazing. I felt like I was in a winter wonderland. Then to make it better the food was AMAZING!! Every dish we had was awesome. Salad was great and full of texture. The drinks perfect amount of sweet and bitter. The Mac and cheese balls were perfectly seasoned and fried. The chicken wings were fried just how I like it with the flavor being amazing. The service was great, we sat at the bar and loved the bar tender. We were too full for dessert but we came back and had hot chocolate with butter cake. Quick note the butter cake is not southern so it tasted good but was not what I was expecting. More like a chess pie. The hot chocolate was super cute and delicious. Overall a great place to eat and enjoy a good time. read more

A very rude hostess who thought it was preposterous that we asked for our party of 10 to be sat together. "No, we don't do that." She made it seem that anything over 4 would need to be a separate table/server. As a family of 6 that seems ridiculous. I guess they didn't want our money. read more

We called at 4PM and we're told no reservations were allowed but if we arrived at 6PM we can get it or be put on the waitlist. We live an hour away we arrived at 6PM and we're told they were not allowing anymore customers to be added to the waitlist - for reference they close at 9PM. The hostess was very rude and did not smile at all. read more

Seated quickly, server approached quickly, no introduction or pleasantries. Took our drink and appetizer order, fried ravioli and stuffed tots. Someone else dropped them off, the ravioli were hot in the center whereas the tots were cold, server didn't bother checking back on us or offer refills on our drinks. Another server dropped off entrees and cleared our app plates and side dishes since our useless server had not been back. It was Saturday night, but our server only had 3 other tables, none of which were new. I had Turkey club & partner had Brat burger, shock that waffle fries were cold, like the apps were. Sandwiches were quite good. We'd finished waiting for our chk by the time our server came back, she seemed surprised we'd already got our entrees. Place was about half full, tables & chairs were comfortable as was the temperature of the restaurant, cold like the food. read more

Came during the holidays after a visit to the aquarium with two kiddos and 3 adults total. We loved the Christmas decor!

This restaurant is really odd for its location at the St. Louis Aquarium. Seems like it should be a more family friendly atmosphere. The hostess was bored and mute but wait staff was attentive. My drinking glass was filthy. Looking around they all looked this way. Lots of meat on the sandwich but saturated in Liquid Smoke . Still have the taste lingering in my mouth. It's nasty. Very very strong. Club sandwich is also not a club. Just two pieces of bread, all that smoky turkey, trace of bacon and one cheese slice with lettuce. I opted out of the red onion. The seasoned waffle fries were good. $15 Called the Train Shed but no decor or tie to its name or location. Nothing in this place makes sense. read more

Food was really good and priced as expected for where it's at- right outside the aquarium at the touristy Union station. Me and my son went, I got the burger, he got pizza. Son cleaned his plate. Burger and waffle fries was good. The 2 star review- service was terrible. The bartender, who was also serving the high top tables was clearly stressed. Took forever to get service when we did she wanted our entire order as they clearly didn't want to come back from behind the bar again. Which she didn't until she brought us the check. Another staff got us silverware when they brought our food. My son wanted to try the butter cake- a st Louis local dessert- wasn't going to beg for further service as my son and I were clearly an inconvenience Bottomline- don't treat me like I'm a burden when I'm a paying customer in your restaurant. read more

We had lunch here today while visiting Union Station STL, and taking in the aquarium, ropes corse for kids and house of mirrors. Perfect indoor activities for a day full of rain! We were a part of 6: 4 adults and 2 elementary school age kids. Very pleasantly surprised with the quality and selection of choices offered at The Train Shed. I opted for their Cobb salad (large plate of lettuce topped with chopped hard boiled egg, bacon, tomatoes, red pepper and blue cheese/ feta cheese crumbles, delicious!), my wife had their Humus plate(vegetarian), my daughter had their Margarita Flatbread and my son-in-law had their Nachos ( huge platter, and delicious he said!). One grandchild had a cheese pizza off the Kids menu ( pretty small, looked store bought, but she ate it all) and the other had their Ants on an Apple (apple slices covered with peanut butter and topped with raisins), which she devoured. Portion sizes for each adult dish were very large, and everyone complimented the restaurant for how good each dish tasted! Waters and ice teas for drinks for everyone. Ours was a later lunch 1:30 pm or so) so restaurant wasn't real busy, but service seemed very slow.and by the time we were ready to leave ( 4 pm or so) our server was no where to be found. "shift change" a manager said, so took even longer to get our check, pay & leave. Good place, delicious food, large servings. All in all, a great place to try if you visit Union Station! read more

This was my second trip to the Train/Sleigh Shed for their holiday pop up bar. Overall I enjoyed the cocktails more last year but the For Goodness Saké was definitely the highlight of the 4 cocktails I sampled. I really enjoyed the pizza and mac & cheese bites but didn't try the other items. While the food was good, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but I'd definitely recommend this as a place to stop if you are in the downtown area for the aquarium, or an event at Enterprise, etc. Solid service and parking lot is spacious. read more

Starving after a morning of flying and travels, came upon the Train Shed while exploring the Union Station. Decided lunch on the patio during the fire and light show would check off several to do items. Server Jake was attentive. The beet salad and salmon were excellent. Brussel Sprout app came out quick and hot. While dining on the patio exposes you to the passers by, one by bike and a friend on a scooter:), it was not all that bad. I'm sure the fire and light show would be better in the evening light, Jake mentioned some technical issues they were attending to. Feeding the Koi from our table was a pleasant distraction as well. We did opt for the beignet dessert but found them too heavy with too much caramel for our liking. Overall, a great experience. read more
