    Burger and curly fries
    Kylie H.

    What a hole in the wall find! We were out at the chesterfield outlet mall and wanted a burger for lunch so stopped by Wente's around 12. It has just opened and the food was fresh, hot, and delicious! Staff was friendly and easy going. It's definitely more of a bar though, so be aware of that if you're wanting to dine at dinner time. Also, great homemade ranch! (From a ranch snob)

    Wente's may look like a hole in the wall, but it's not. My service has been incredibly both times I've been here. Very pleasant and friendly. The food isn't "just" bar food. I order my pizza without green peppers and they accidentally made it with them. The manager came out to tell us and said he was remaking it and boxing up the other one for us to take home if we wanted it. We told him we would just pick them off. Amazing! I recommend stopping in.

    Updated review 9/29/24 Long time local bat and grill still serving up delicious food and drinks. This place is kid friendly, has a bar, outdoor seating and certain times they have music. Service was attentive and very friendly and food was delicious as usual.

    Chicken Philly...Hope the second half is as tasty as the first half!

    We met some friends here for a Sunday afternoon late lunch and drinks. We were able to sit outside in the covered patio area - they also had heaters going which kept it nice and warm. We had pizza, wings and some varied appetizers around the table. All the food was good and the ranch was very good. We were here for a few hours with people drinking and eating and the server kept up with us pretty well. She was not really friendly but we were glad she was there so the patio was open.

    Wente's in Gumbo Flats (aka Chesterfield Valley) is a great choice to grab a cold beer, some smoked chicken wings, burgers and watch your favorite sports inside or outside. Tasty!

    Killer dive, staple to the chesterfield area. Try the smoked wings and wash it down with a cold beer!

    7-23-20: Went to Larry's Tavern for some socialization, food, and drink. I really like that…read moreLarry's recently put in some outdoor seating and dining with a few umbrellas and a gazebo. It makes a lot of sense and I'm sure as this new "normal" continues over the next year that they have space for further growth of the outdoor area. It's enough room for some really creative hardscaping/landscaping that will help grow this business. One of the great things about Larry's Tavern is the food. Had a couple of cheeseburgers that had the right amount of cheese and meat combination along with condiments that made it tasty. It's handmade burgers too so each come out a different size and that adds to knowing it's a great tavern/grill. Larry's surprisingly has a nice selection of beers as well as wine and liquor. Not a fan of A-B since they sold out so I prefer a craft beer or some other brands; LT offers that selection. Wife likes the other beers and seltzers too so they offer a wide selection. Our server/tender/cook/bar tender/cashier was Allie who easily handled the multi-tasking with ease for ourselves and the rest of the patrons. I hope she gets paid well for doing everything. She has a great attitude and always smiling. A nice attribute these days. Lastly, I really like the patrons of LT's. It's a lively group, great music, and a generally fun place for all ages of adults. Best wishes to the patrons, staff and my friends who enjoy Larry's withme.

I arrived in time to watch her grab the burger buns with her bare hands and put them on the grill. I then watched her grab the frozen fries out of the bag with her bare hands and drop them in the basket to cook. I can only imagine how the raw meat was handled but the patties were already cooking when I arrived. Needless to say, the more I thought about it, the more my appetite disappeared. Dive bars are good, but unsanitary handling of food is not. Never again.

Stevie was my server that night and she provided friendly top notch service. I ordered a spicy margarita for my cocktail. I was a little disappointed with the drink. It was very cucumber forward, had a nice heat, but lacked that signature lime flavor and tartness required of a good margarita. The brussel sprouts and cheese grits were a must try for me. The pork chop was the perfect entree to accompany these sides. The brussel sprouts were charred and crispy. The balsamic glaze paired nicely with the charred flavor. The pork chop is served in a very generous portion juicy and tender. The citrus sauce paired nicely with the pork. The cheese grits were creamy and delicious. All in all a delightful meal. The portions were generous enough for me to have hearty meal of leftovers the next day. The menu is fairly concise with burgers, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, beer/pork/chicken entrees, and salads. They have something for just about everyone. The appetizer menu offers loaded brussel sprouts with bacon balsamic and feta. This would have been too much to tackle by myself. I plan on bringing my friends next time to share this dish.

It was very loud when we visited, not because of the karaoke, so it was a bit difficult to speak with the bartenders. I guess people were having a good time! There are lots of drink choices at reasonable prices. There is also food, which I didn't try. For the karaoke, you go up to the KJ get into the queue, and then add your songs across the evening for each of your turns. There was quite a variety being sung. You sing in front of the fireplace. There is a little bit of room to dance around the edges but not much. Despite being a "nonsmoking" bar, there were patrons vaping indoors and there was a cigarette smell inside (perhaps wafting in from the smokers outside?). The ladies bathroom was very clean. There is free parking outside in their attached lot, but you might have to get creative if you get there later in the night, as the lot gets crowded. This bar has a fun vibe for your friend group to go blow off some steam, but probably not a good place to take a first date.

I discovered, The Lounge because I arrived super early for a wine tasting at another business in the plaza. My friend and I were immediately won over, when we saw the bar dog. Her name is, Lucy.
