Earlier than normal reservation for 5 people for dinner so the place was reasonably quiet. Got full and loud at the end. The highlight for me was the great service. Food was great too. But I just remember the server was very attentive and seemed to know when we needed something. We had a few appetizers. Try the mussels. They were my favorite. The I had their lobster bisque which was also superb. Overall, I found the prices pretty reasonable for very good food. I know they have a steak and a seafood themed restaurant which I will want to try the next time I'm in St Louis. read more

Went here before going to a play for brunch. This place is huge! It does not look that big from outside. I had a reservation so we were seated right away. Service was okay but not great! It took a while for the waitress to acknowledge us. I ordered a coffee and the chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles were okay but needed more syrup or hot honey with them. I would have asked for more but the waitress never came back to check on us after the food came. Coffee was okay, but I wasn't offered a refill until we were done with our meal and getting our checks. $3.50 for 1 cup of black coffee is a bit much. When we got our check, we had to wait a while for the waitress to come back to split it for us, I always find it strange when they don't ask. Overall not a great or awful experience but I have def had better. read more

801 Local - Chicken & Waffles - New American Near Me - Frontenac, Missouri

Dinner was just okay this time. I've enjoyed all My other visits in the past but I ordered the ahi tuna for something lighter and it was fine, nothing memorable. My boyfriend had a salad. Unfortunately, we were seated at a dirty booth and spent the entire meal dealing with gnats, which was unexpected--especially in the middle of winter. We were the only table there that night, but between the dirty seating and the gnats, it completely killed the vibe. My boyfriend alone killed three of them, not to mention the one or two that got away. I only ate about half my meal before feeling grossed out. This is the first time I've truly disliked my experience here. Our server was great--he suggested dessert and drinks throughout the night and checked on us often. I did mention the gnats, but I don't think he understood the severity of the issue. read more

Let me start by saying this: being alone can be hard, and it feels even heavier around the holidays. Yelp suggested this restaurant, and I'm usually open to trying new places, so I decided to treat myself. When I arrived, there were four women at the front seating guests. I let them know I was there to eat and that I was dining alone. Three of them snickered and giggled together, while the fourth suggested I sit at the bar if I wanted. I couldn't help but wonder what was funny. As I walked away, I asked if I looked funny or if there was something amusing to them. Of course, they said no but the moment lingered. I took a corner seat at the bar. The bartender asked if I wanted a drink. I asked for water, no ice I realized I hadn't been drinking enough water since moving into my new apartment, which I'm also doing alone. While looking over the menu, I saw Brussels sprouts (one of my favorites) and ordered those along with the lobster bisque. The soup came out first and was delicious. Shortly after, the Brussels sprouts arrived. My first thought was that they didn't look good at all. I tried a couple, and they were hard, as if they hadn't been properly cooked. I didn't send them back right away ‍ not because I was satisfied, but because the bartender wasn't checking on me. By the time I was able to get his attention, my pork belly fried rice had already come out. Since I wasn't ordering a full entrée, the lack of check-ins stood out and felt like poor service. If I had been checked on when the Brussels were first served, they could have been addressed before the rest of the food arrived. I had also ordered a Manhattan. It tasted like straight liquor. I don't drink much, and while I love a martini glass and hate ice, I think that sometimes signals to bartenders that I want something very strong. I don't ‍ I want a balanced, tasty, "sexy" cocktail. I asked if it could be adjusted, but the bartender simply listed the ingredients and said there wasn't anything he could do. He eventually suggested adding simple syrup, which helped a little. I stayed an extra 35-40 minutes just trying to finish the drink. I don't like wasting money, especially when I'm trying to do something kind for myself. During that time, a lovely couple sat nearby, and we ended up having great conversation, which honestly made the experience more bearable. I finally sent the Brussels sprouts back and asked to replace them with broccolini but unfortunately, those were just as undercooked. The pork belly fried rice, however, looked great and tasted great. That was the one bright spot. Everything else was just bad, which surprised me because the restaurant itself looks top-tier. I couldn't help but wonder if the kitchen was unhappy about working Christmas Eve, because the execution felt careless. Treating myself ended up feeling regretful. I could have gotten that pork belly fried rice from Bellwether and had a better overall experience. The couple I met had a very different experience with their food and encouraged me to come back again for happy hour. I might consider that but based on this visit, the experience fell far short of what I expected read more

Really like the 801restaurants but this meal was a let down, unfortunately. I'd give them another chance, could have just been an off night.

We were there for a late lunch and sat outside. The outside area is very pleasant covered space. We both enjoyed our food. They have some nice red wine to choose from and a selection of cocktails, including mocktails. I'm looking forward to trying this place again during dinner. read more

801 was such a vibe! We came early September and it was still warm enough to sit on the patio. It's lit super nicely with soft hanging lights and has a really nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a bottle of wine in my group, and ordered the rolls. I don't know what it is about these rolls but they are insanely good. They literally melt in your mouth- they're a must! I had girl dinner with a steak salad and French fries. The steak salad was SO good. All of the ingredients were fresh and my steak was cooked perfectly. The dressing was home made and was thin, not a huge fan of thick ranch dressing. Our server was awesome and so welcoming. She had a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed being served by her. I highly recommend checking out 801 local if you haven't been, you won't be disappointed! read more

French Dip Sliders (2) $10 - Tasty sliders Tuna Poke Tacos (3) $12 - Crunchy tacos, a happy hour favorite Regular menu - Burger $22 - Smash burger piled high, a bit greasy.

I've long been a fan of 801 Fish and 801 Chophouse, so I've had 801 Local on my "to try" list since they opened. The menu and concept are a fun departure from the others and the atmosphere is upscale, but cozy. We started with the Parker house rolls, which were so fluffy and comforting without being dense. I'm not a truffle lover and didn't enjoy the combo of truffle and honey together in the butter, but I can see others enjoying if you like truffles. The steak frites were exactly what I was hoping for - high quality and tender steak cooked perfectly with a chimichurri that was so bright and flavorful. The fries were solid too. I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu offerings, because there really is something for everyone and they have unique spins on some well-known favorite dishes. read more

I have to start by saying our server and the manager were lovely and helpful. My martini was great. But the food was SO bad. We got three prime ribs. I couldn't even cut it. I thought my knife was just dull but then I tried to eat it and it was so chewy it took me like 2 full minutes to swallow. My husband spit his out. Unfortunately, it was just inedible. They tried to make it right and sent us out another set of meals. My burger was burnt to a crisp and dry. My MIL's chicken was terrible. Considering the insane prices here, it just was so unacceptable to have not one but two inedible entrees. You guys have to do better to charge as much as you do. Ambiance was very cute and again the service was great (which is why we have the charity Star), but the food is unacceptable. Hope you guys take the feedback and make a big change! I'd be willing to come back if you did. read more

Stopped into 801 Local in Frontenac and wasn't sure what to expect, but the place delivers. First thing you notice? The giant English bulldog statue. It's not just a quirky photo op. Strong, grounded, kind of charming in its own way. Felt like a subtle signature of the place. I ordered the blackened mahi sandwich and I'm really starting to love blackened spices. That bold, smoky flavor with just enough heat to wake things up is my fave. The fish was cooked just right flaky and fresh and the sandwich came together so well it didn't need any dressing up. The space is sleek but comfortable, and the menu has a solid mix of refined and approachable items. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially when I'm in the mood for something that feels elevated but not overdone. read more

In town for some shopping with my mom and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. The place was essentially empty on a Saturday at 12:30pm, and the service was terrible. We could never get the attention of the waiter once he brought out drinks and took our order. He disappeared. The food was brought out by someone else and it was great, but it took well over an hour to have two burgers and fries, mostly because of the wait on the server to bring the check and box up the food at the end of our meal. No refills were ever offered on our drinks. Thankfully the hostess helped once she realized how frustrated we were. Very disappointing compared to our first visit. read more

The food drinks and service were fantastic! THE CHAIRS ARE AWFUL!!! Our group started with crab dip, truffle fries, and Parker House rolls. All were very tasty. My husband and I moved on to the filet and the salmon. Both were perfect Desert was again lovely. The manifesto was the bomb Ali's service was excellent The chairs...awful...hard and unforgiving. We also were seated at a table in the bar area.... I also do not recommend that if you want to have a conversation...really loud read more

We love to visit this spot after shopping at Frontenac. They have incredible happy hour specials, which I feel like has become a rarity. Our recent dinner here was fantastic! Our server, Jada, was so kind, patient, and helpful. The highlights were the oysters, French onion soup, shrimp Louie, and the burger. 801 local has both the timeless classics, as well as modern twists on some more adventurous bites-- truly offering something for everyone! read more

802 Local has a soft, pleasant neighborly ambience, like a place where people go to hang out and get some good food. Our server, Todd, was one of the best we have had in a long time. He was very helpful in helping us make decisions on what to order since it was our first time there. My pan seared salmon was amazing and the the Parker House hot rolls were mouth watering! They made me think of Lammerts hot yeast rolls! Super super good! The manager, Tabor actually gave us $15 off gift cards to use in our return, so we will definitely be going back! read more

So glad I finally stopped into this place! Went for dinner with a few friends. We went on a Wednesday night and got a reservation, though it was not very busy. We probably didn't need one. We started with the duck potstickers. So good! We ordered them because we thought they were unique... Well, at least I had never seen them on a menu anywhere. We then had French onion soup. Perfect weather for it, snowstorm at all. It was amazing. I could've eaten 3 bowls! I want it every night lol. For my main, I had the shrimp pasta. It was good. Not outstanding. Would I get it again? Probably not. It had a very creamy, heavy white sauce. I'm not a big fan of that, but if you are go ahead and order! It was good for sure. It comes with 4 large shrimp which were cooked to perfection. It does have a little bit of a spice to it. My other friends split the 14 ounce prime rib. They thought it was very good. However, it came with some mashed potatoes that almost seemed as if they were instant mashed potatoes ha ha. Pretty garlic, but still good. Good parking situation, a lot of space, great service. Our server was very knowledgeable and patient with us while ordering. read more

First time here and the place has an old school "fancy "restaurant feel with the dark paneling, carpeted floors and the gorgeous coffered ceilings. Service was excellent thanks to our waiter Michael V. They have a full bar, happy hour specials and are kid friendly also note that this is an upscale restaurant so prices are a bit higher and most items are a la carte.The mixed green salad was wonderful especially with the addition of the pistachios. Husband had the Shrimp Pasta and it was delicious, 4 large juicy shrimp in a slightly spicy cream sauce and homemade pasta. I had the ChickenPiccata and the chicken was moist and tender but I thought the sauce was rather lacking in flavor . The bread was delicious and hot and loved the honey butter and the Martinis were spot on. read more

Lunch visit, I decided to mark something off the bookmarks and this was an awesome pick! Upscale, but not stuffy, casual but not divey, this is the place. Dining for 1 so opted for the bar and open seating. Greeted quickly and by a friendly employee. 801 Old Fashioned to start which comes with Four Roses, a great Bourbon! The taste was balanced and had the kick I was looking for at lunch. Several sandwiches to choose and I opted for the Burger, which was amazing! Juicy, seasoned well, crispy edges on the smash with a soft bun. I actually couldn't finish the whole burger and took 1/2 to go because I absolutely had to finish the fresh cut fries (pick your battle). Pro tip: Get the harissa aioli on the side and use it for your fries and burger, you won't be disappointed! Enjoy! read more

So this place has been on my list for a long time!! No pictures, I was hungry..lol. I shared the salmon salad and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

I will definitely return to try a few more items on the menu!! read more

My wife and I had dinner at 801 Local 3/27/2026. My wife's meal was fine. I ordered the Signature Prime Rib14 oz. $48 entree. All looked good when the plate was set down on the table. The Signature Prime Rib dinner was tough to cut through, had excessive fat and grizzle. A really bad experience and major disappointment. 801 Local was a lousy dining experience and I highly recommend staying clear of their so called Signature Prime Rib. It goes on record as the worst prime rib dinner that I have had anywhere. read more

Came here during happy hour and got to enjoy a plethora of item. They weren't too busy so bringing our 2 year old didn't seem to be too much of a hassle. Everything we got was good!

We came here for a weekend birthday lunch. I was surprised how empty it was, there were only a few tables. Service was very good; our server was able to quickly ask the kitchen if certain items were vegetarian for me. The restaurant feels like a country club inside, it's a very different vibe than most restaurants around the area. I ordered the Panzanella Salad and the House Made Ravioli. Both were delicious, everything tasted high quality and fresh. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. Other food ordered included the Lobster Bisque, Caesar Salad, Pot Stickers, and Steak Frites. For the birthday, they brought out little chocolate fruit tarts! This is on the pricier side for lunch, but it's more accessible than the other 801 restaurants as far as cost goes. read more

Man this is a hard one...so instead of the usual long, drawn out banter, I'll simply bullet point both the positives and not so greats of 801 Local. Positives - Amazing atmosphere. The look of upscale, but with a cool, vibrant vibe. Dark wood & cool bar...really set the place apart. - Service. Out-freaking-standing. Servers offer great advice & they make the meal an "event". Never hurried and attentive. - Cocktail and wine list...supremo! - App's (get the rolls!) & salads were dynamite. Highly recommend. Not so great; - Had the filet, wifey had the burger. It was "meh". Another words, just okay...expected a bit more. Burger a bit over-cooked, filet was your typical and the mashed potatoes were not anything special. So maybe just a little underwhelming. - Wine bottle pricing, a little over the top. A $60-65 bottle of Caymus is like $200 (corking fee is only $25, will do that next time), how about $100 or $110 folks? Not really a 3...more like a 3.5 in my mind. I'll give it try again, would like to give some of the other dishes a chance... read more

We had a reservation for six and we were celebrating two birthdays. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and she took us to our table. It was a round table, which is always my preference when there are more than four people in the group. My husband and I were the first to arrive and our server came over soon after we were seated and filled our water glasses and took our drink orders. The others arrived and were tended to and then we got busy talking about the menu. We ended up ordering the daily house made Parker Rolls with Truffle Honey Butter for the table. They were so good! We all ordered a salad or soup and we all liked what we had. The entrees came next and again we were all happy with what we ordered. Dessert on the house was offered to the two birthday celebrants, but only one of them ordered something. We were all so full! And the one dessert ordered was actually enough for all of us. The service was seamless. We always had water, our server was always there when we needed to order another drink, dirty dishes and glasses were removed promptly, etc. It was my first time there, but I'm definitely planning to go back! I didn't take photos of all the food, but everything was delicious. read more

Good food, good service and amicable atmosphere. Prices are high to go with the 801 theme, but it's pretty comfortable. Good place for lunch with clients, but it's not 801 steakhouse or 801 Fish read more

The food is just okay. This was our second time trying it. Our table had the ahi tuna, short ribs and chicken. All were fine but nothing worth the money. Speaking of price, the prices on the menu vary a few dollars to the bill. The one thing that is worth it is the crab dip and happy hour. Our waitress was great and the ambiance is cool. Reminds me of a Ralph Lauren store. Unfortunately we won't be going back. We love 801 Fish and will for sure continue to visit! read more

801 local is one of my "local" favorites. Last night did not disappoint. We went to the bar ordered their happy hour 801 Manhattan, quite good for $8. Gary at the bar was our server/ bartender, he was very personable as usual. We then ordered the fried rice and brussels sprouts, two of my favorite things on their happy hour menu. The place is lively, fun comfortable, really can't say enough nice things about how the 801s are quite an asset to the St. Louis area. read more

801 is a true gem for an upscale yet unpretentious dining experience. The vibe is warm and welcoming, perfect for a nice night out. The meal started wonderfully with delicious rolls served with heavenly honey butter. The duck potstickers were another tasty appetizer - delicate wrappers filled with flavorful duck. For my entree, I had the filet mignon & shrimp both were cooked to perfection. The steak - tender, juicy, and melted in my mouth. Such high-quality meat prepared flawlessly. Also got to try the prime rib which is also amazing. Service was attentive without being overbearing. The bartenders make great craft cocktails too. Overall, 801 delivers on upscale eats and drinks in a friendly, local atmosphere. A definite repeat for a special night out. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new restaurant for Valentine's Day and this was the only one that had decent times left. It was definitely busy and took a bit to seat us even with a reservation. Our waitress was really nice. The restaurant has very similar vibes to its sister restaurants - 801 Fish and 801 Chophouse. We ordered a couple apps and entrees to share: Duck dumplings - good flavor but was not warm or hot. Braised short ribs - tender and fell off the bone. Crab dip - ok but the toast was a little burnt. Seared scallops - risotto was ok but the scallops were perfect. Wine selection was great and I would come back to try their other entrees. The prices are slightly lower than their other restaurants. read more

Spent a wonderful evening at 801 Local to celebrate a work anniversary. Vibe is very nice, "English golf club" is what I'd call it. Plaid carpet (love), dark woods, comfy seating. I guess it's also Nautical (?) Kinda dark so didn't notice. We had a round table which was perfect for the occasion. Enjoyed a delicious Old Fashioned cocktail. Another tablemate had a rum blueberry concoction, said was very good. No apps this night but Baked Brie ($26) looked good. Caesar Salad ($11) was generous and very fresh. Filet Mignon ($44) cooked perfectly medium rare. Accompanied by asparagus and mashed potatoes made a lovely plate. Tablemates chose Chicken Piccata ($30) and Linguine with Shrimp ($32). Service was attentive. Everyone went home full and happy. read more

Went for our company Christmas party last night, and got to enjoy the private room. Restaurant was full and noisy, but the room we were in was nice and quiet. Decor is nice, but parking is crazy! Packed lot, but a side lot that's caution taped off and not in use for some reason? The service was wonderful and folks that served us were all knowledge and very friendly. We tried several drinks, and all were tasty! The rolls, crab dip and duck appetizers were all great as well. The butter that comes with the rolls is wonderful! Most of the folks at the table got the filet and enjoyed it. I had the shrimp and linguine. Very tasty, but I would suggest asking for a small plate to put your shrimp tails and lemon, otherwise you just have to put them on the table, or keep moving them out of your way as you eat. A warning though. The broccolini side dish is very spicy! We got an order from the table and most people tried it and didn't like the spicy level and counted eat it. I enjoyed it, but ended up with some nasty heartburn later that night. Proceed with caution on that or ask for the sauce on the side! We got a variety of desserts and they were all tasty as well. Fun place for date night or a business dinner. read more
