    Didn't realize Whadda Ya Want took over the old Stellar Hog space till we stopped by our fave bake shop, Sarah's in the same plaza. They took over the spot and also it looked like an additional space next door that seemed like an a To Go or order pick up space, connected by a connecting door space. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, around 3:00 pm. One table eating in and another waiting. You step to the counter to order, there was one guy explaining the menu and answering the questions we had, and a guy on the register. I connected the dots when reviewing the menu, a food genre with several different options. Steakburgers, Sandwiches, Loaded Potatoes, Salads, All Day Breakfast, Flatbreads, Fried Chicken and Wings, Mexican, Greek, Pasta, and Drinks. This is a lot of options, we are on a Fried Chicken kick so we did the fried chicken, half chicken with a biscuit, and boneless wings tossed in wing sauce. We took the order to go and tried the boneless wings before driving away. I was afraid they were going to have thick, crusty, and dense breading but the breading was thin, crispy, and really good. The sauce was the right amount and not too much. The ranch dressing was ok; I didn't use it after trying it. We had a long trek home after a couple more pit stops so we reheated the regular fried chicken in the air fryer before digging in. It was pretty good. The biscuit was ok, wasn't sure if it was homemade or not. We will definitely stop in again when we are in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful and several tables if you want to dine in.

    Hubby and I decided to grab some lunch and this place has a lot of good reviews. It wasn't crowded but it took up a minute to decide what to order because they have a lot of options. This would be a good place to come for a family when everyone wants something different. They have burgers, tacos, pasta, chicken, cookies and ice cream. So many options. Based off first impressions, we weren't too thrilled. It looks like a hole in the wall resturant but those tend to have the best food, right? Place looks kind of dirty and the flies were all over. I know they can't help that but maybe buy some decorative fly traps. I had a taste for a steak burger with bacon and I ordered that with fries. Hubby ordered the same but without the bacon. The burger was really good. Juicy and taste great. The fries weren't bad but not the best. The staff was nice and the price is decent. If I just wake to order good burgers by themselves, I would come here and order to go. Maybe I'd try their chicken but I can see myself returning anytime soon.

    Yummy. I placed an online takeout order. Which was fast and easy. I ordered a three piece dark Cajun chicken. The chicken skin was flavorful and crunchy. The biscuit was good as well. The only part that was surprising was how small the pieces of chicken. Sorry but they were very very small. ‍. I also the churros and omg that didn't disappoint! So crunchy and absolutely delicious. When I arrived to pick it up the service was fast and the staff very friendly. Yes, I will be giving it another try.

    Lamb Gyro

    I'm going to start by saying we didn't love this place the first time, but decided to give it a second chance and we like it! The first time, we actually met the owner and his family - they were eating dinner there. They were very nice! I ordered the Sauteed Shroom Burger and my husband got the Southwest Double Burger. My burger was really good! My husband's had a lot of stuff on it - I think it was queso, salsa, and guacamole, but I may be wrong. Either way, it was too much and things were falling off and dripping everywhere. We each got the meal which included a drink and a side. We both got fries. The fries were cooked very unevenly. Some were over cooked and some were limp. We weren't very impressed. But it's nearby and locally owned, so I opted to try them a second time before I reviewed. We went back a few weeks later. By this time, they had added even more menu items! I got the lamb gyro, tzatziki and pita, and my husband ordered the half fried chicken and biscuit. We really liked our food! We were told it would take 15 minutes or so for the chicken. While we waited, we shared the tzatziki and pita and it was so good - the tzatziki was really tasty and the pita was nice and warm. Both of our entrees were great! Few things I didn't love - when we walked in the second time, the gal at the register was finishing up with another customer. When their transaction was finished, she just walked away. She went into the back area which I believe is the kitchen. I think it would have been nice for her to perhaps say, I'll be with you in just a minute or something - don't just walk away with a customer standing there. The other thing is that there really needs to be better ventilation. The second time we were there it smelled like the fryer and the whole place was hazy from smoke. I heard someone say it was bothering them quite a bit. And maybe a little decor in the walls would be nice! Everyone in your family/group will be able to find something they like on the menu! Everyone! We'll definitely be back!

    This place is sooooo good! The fried chicken was so seasoned and crispy. I loved the cookies & the fries were so crispy as well. The customer service was amazing, they were so kind and happy when I walked in. There is a sitting area to eat inside but it seems more like a pick up & go place, I could be wrong. However, it's sooo good that I will be driving back an hour with my family soon!

    Lamb/Beef Gyro

    I've only been here once. I had the beef/lamb gyro and it was excellent. An overstuffed pita so a lot to eat. The fries were just ok. They were hot but kinda stuck together. Maybe that's how they always are there. I'll definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

    7/28/25. Heard about this new place that had opened in Wilson plaza in Chesterfield, where are BBQ joint had been. I decided to check it out for lunch. First off let me say that the menu is large, serving a bit of a lot of different styles of food choices. I decided to stick with the very basic today, a ham and cheese sandwich at $8.99 and potato wedges at $3. A iced tea to drink on a hot summers day nicely accentuated the meal at $1. The ham on the sandwich had a good taste, a little to salty but good. The lettuce was crisp, the tomato and onion good in taste. The bun was an average tasting French bread bun, nothing special about it. The potato wedges were crispy and had a good flavor to them. This establishment also has breakfast cooked establishment all day and serves, coffee drinks and fruit smoothies as well as hot box cookies. Definitely worth stopping on to try out this unique little establishment.

    Cajun Breasts & Biscuit

    Stopped by for lunch and we were very surprised!! The menu had just about every kind of food to feed a family from burgers, to pasta , Mexican and much more. Ordered the two breast (very moist) and biscuit, a couple wing and a side of fries. If you like shoestring fries, like I do they were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful navigating the menu. Highly recommended reviewing online before heading out, especially if you have a large family. Restaurant was clean and had a good bit of seating. Highly recommended as we'll be back to explore new menu items. Let's get out and support our new businesses in town...thanks for the great food and conversation.

    Chicken nachos

    Ordered chicken nachos- Queso, sour cream, and pico on the side. Queso had spinach in it, tasted like spinach dip. Adoba Chicken had a kick. Sadly couldn't eat it since it had spinach in the queso. Service was fast, and workers were friendly and food was ready!

    My fiancé and I have been on a Route 66 "kick" lately. Somehow, this place flew under my radar, but…read moreI am glad that I found it! I love an authentic Route 66 stop, and this is certainly one of those. From the road, it's difficult to tell how big the place actually is. Once inside, it opens up and really shares its character. We went on a Thursday evening, and it was packed, but not uncomfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone. Our server was friendly and efficient, and she seemed genuinely invested in customer experiences. Our food was outstanding, and there was plenty of it! We even had room for dessert: a chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. It was the size of a dinner plate! This was an outstanding indulgence, and I can't wait to have another one, as soon as my glycemic index allows. LOL The restrooms were pretty darn rough. Urine all over the floor, overflowing trash can, filthy toilet, etc., gave the impression that it hadn't been cleaned since the Route 66 days. Here, I am not focusing on that, since it's not what we came here for. Our overall experience was fantastic and memorable. We look forward to returning to this special historic establishment.

    I'd heard of this place a number of times over the years and thought it was time to check it out…read more Big mistake. First off, the place is old and dingy and needs an update badly. It's just kind of dirty everywhere. Our table had that tacky feel to it. There were dirty dishes piled up in a lot of places and about 30 or so dirty glasses piled up by the bar. Our server wasn't great. We waited a few minutes before she came over and took our drink order. She never delivered our drinks to us. After a while, we realized they were just sitting on the bar. The bartender saw us looking at them and delivered them to our table. After all that, the drinks were not good. We questioned whether there was actually any alcohol in them. We were finally able to order our entrees. I wanted a pizza. I was told they weren't doing pizza, brisket, and something else that night. She said I could have flatbread instead, so I got that. I ordered it with pepperoni, pineapple (yeah, I know - but I like it), and red onion. It was not good. The sauce was bad. It has to be plain label crap from a store somewhere. The toppings were few and far between. I didn't even eat half of it and just gave up. When our server asked if I wanted a box, I said no because it wasn't good. She said, sorry - didn't ask what was wrong with it, etc. My husband ordered the Bros. Champion Burger with tots. It's a burger with pulled pork on it. His burger was way overcooked. The pulled pork seemed to be okay. He loves tots and didn't eat them. He said they tasted like they'd been cooked in oil that had been used to cook a lot of other items as well. You may think that maybe they were understaffed. I don't believe so as I saw a number of staff members standing around chatting frequently. Our server was sitting down drying silverware. We were ready to pay and get the heck out of there. We had to get another server, to go get ours because she wasn't looking around, not checking on her tables, nothing - just chilling and drying flatware. There was absolutely nothing that made us want to go back.

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.

The low lighting, neon signs, and colorful interior design create a vibrant and upscale dining environment. Their drinks are all served in fun glassware and mixed with intention. Choose from an array of classics like Margarita, Mojito, and Paloma; or try one of their original crafted cocktails. The service is always friendly and professional. Their servers are prepared to answer any questions you have. I've never had food like I've enjoyed at Malinche! Every menu item has so much traditional flavor with a modern spin. Not only is the food delicious but it is plated with culinary vision like art on a plate. Menu items are designed to be shared which we love we can try multiple things. Monday and Tuesday are the only days of the week they serve tacos but you will not be disappointed by their other menu items! The name choice Malinche pays homage to a historically significant and often misunderstood female figure in Mexican history who after being sold in slavery to the Spaniards acted as a key translator and advisor during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. By naming the restaurant Malinche, it is the family's ode to their mother and head chef Doña María Gutiérrez Molina. Once your dining experience is over and you step back outside, you'll have forgotten you were eating in Ellisville and not Mexico City!
