I walked into Big Belly Deli yesterday on a mission: a wrap. Simple, right? Apparently not…read more After patiently waiting in line, I confidently ordered a chicken wrap... only to be told, "That's not on the menu." Pause. Confusion. Mild heartbreak. BUT then--plot twist. He leans in and says, "I can put one together for you... just trust me." And listen... that was the moment I decided to surrender control and embark on a culinary adventure. As he started listing what he had in mind, my skepticism quickly turned into straight-up anticipation. It already sounded incredible--but I HAD to chime in and add tomatoes and banana peppers (because balance, obviously). What I received for $13 was not just a wrap. It was a masterpiece. This thing was PACKED--like, no-such-thing-as-skimping levels of juicy, flavorful chicken. Every bite hit. Every ingredient showed up. No fillers, no regrets. Here's the real kicker: I ate half yesterday... and the other half today? Still. Fresh. Still. Delicious. Still. Worth it. Moral of the story: Sometimes the best thing on the menu... isn't on the menu. Big Belly Deli, I see you. And next time, I'm coming back ready to co-create another masterpiece

After reading the menu I went with the Big Lex (Turkey, Pepperoni, Bacon, and White Cheddar Cheese toasted on Dutch Crunch bread topped with red onion, spicy pickles, lettuce, pesto aioli, and honey mustard). I loved the Dutch Crunch bread. It was slightly sweet and had crackled golden-brown stripes. I don't normally even order turkey but this was a great sandwich! I loved all the flavors and textures.

(Which is not a bad problem to have at all. ) The chicken was tender and juicy and had a nice seasoning on it. The fries had a similar seasoning, they were savory a little sweet and a bit sour.

Could not have chosen a better side dish and worth stopping by just to get Greens. Seasoned well with meat and not stringy. They also sell Cornbread, which I'll have to get next time. The chicken tacos, again another homerun. The size of the Tender is comparable to the tortilla so there is Chicken in eat bite. Crispy yet juicy chicken and seasoned well. They offer a 3pc taco, easily with the greens would be an awesome meal. The Catfish Sandwich has an ample amount of Catfish strips, coated and seasoned well. The bun is soft but holds up under the weight of the fish. I didn't get my onions and pickles which is my only not so great part. Outside of that, glad I have another option in the wheelhouse.

Their in house brat selection is top notch and a wide selection of different types. The gummy bear brats are actually quite good. Ozark grillers are a personal favorite of mine along with the beef jerky. They also offer many different types of burgers with various add ins. I've enjoyed almost all of them. As far as meat cuts they have a wide selection and are reasonably priced. Large pork steaks, ribeyes, T-bones, pork chops, various chicken cuts and many others. They also offer some really good made in house sides. Service is always quick and friendly and they offer a decent rewards program.

Costello's offers all fresh ingredients. Literally - they grow their own tomatoes on the patio! In speaking with the owner, they prepare their crusts daily, fresh and local meats for their toppings and sandwiches, everything prepared in the restaurant. The staff were friendly, happy to answer any questions, and eager for business. The Honey Hot Soppressata pizza - chef's kiss. The crust - thin and soft. The basil, super fresh! Come check them out!

The beef patty had a rubbery texture to it, and the taste was not for me. This was my first time eating a burger that was cooked in their smoke style--so maybe it tasted how it's supposed to. I did not care for the ooey sauce either. The fries were also mediocre. (I don't think I've ever had bad fries. I doubt you can make fries bad without deliberate effort to do so. But these were as mid as some school cafeteria fries.)

Six-Plus Stars for Helfer's Bakery -- Five Just Aren't Enough!…read moreHelfer's Bakery was phenomenal from beginning to end! They were incredibly easy to work with, and our baker, Jamie, was wonderful. She listened to what we envisioned for our daughter's wedding and helped create a wedding cake that exceeded every expectation. That was so important to us since the bride and groom were not in town. And the cake itself? Absolutely delicious! Our guests at the wedding are still raving about it. It was moist, flavorful, and some of the best wedding cake anyone has ever tasted. Each layer was a different flavor--from traditional to chocolate, and every single one was a hit. The design was an absolute masterpiece - elegant, beautiful, and truly a work of art. Helfer's also made the wedding day so easy for us. They delivered the cake to Innsbrook, Missouri, set everything up beautifully, and coordinated with the florist to ensure the florals were perfectly placed. That attention to detail meant so much to us. I cannot recommend Helfer's Bakery highly enough for a wedding cake or any special occasion. Beautiful, delicious, professional, and exceptional service from start to finish. Six-plus stars because five simply aren't enough!

They definitely did not disappoint! From the moment our food came out, everything smelled amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries with the spinach dip, and I absolutely loved the homemade chips that came with it. My kids got kids' meals and enjoyed their food as well. I also ordered a chicken Philly to-go for my son since it was his birthday, which made the visit even more special. Emma was our server, and she was very nice and attentive throughout our meal. I also loved that they have patio seating it's such a nice option, especially on a beautiful day even though we did not sit outside the patio seating we wanted was not open that night. I also liked how they had merchandise to buy while in the restaurant like tees, sweatshirts,bottles of wine . They also cook books for sale in their resturant by another shop we had recently been to called Made by Lia. That was definitely a nice community touch to show how close the area is to their companions! In addition, we had a great first experience and will definitely be back with the rest of the family!

If Hendel's were a character, it would be Hagrid: enormous warmth, big portions, an old house…read moreyou're glad exists, and not much interest in refinement. 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.

Didn't look much from the outside, pretty simple layout. You can seat wherever you like. We were one of the two tables at 11:30 am so our food can out fast. There's both American (bar) foods and Vietnamese food on the menu. Banh khot was a great choice for appetizer. Wrap them in lettuce and dunk them in the fish sauce... perfection. Bun Bo hue was definitely one of the best Vietnamese I had in the US. Lots of flavors but nothing too overwhelming, toppings were generous and lots of noodles! I tried and barely finished half!!!
