How does a restaurant survive 128 years. They do it by providing good service and consistently delicious food. Believe or not, Beffa's has been part of the STL community for that many years and it has been owned by the same family. Be sure to sign up for the Beffa's Rewards program. They've got a great reward on your birthday. When you spend $25 at Beffa's, you get a $10 credit. It was my friend's BD and we went to Beffa's to celebrate. I was picking up the tab, but we used her rewards to save a few bucks in today's economy. To toast my BFF's birthday, I had one of the many craft beers Beffa's has on tap and the majority of them are local. With it being my friends birthday, she had a glass of Prosecco. Cheers! We both went with one of the smash burgers for our lunches. The birthday lady went with a Frisco and I chose the Pub. The Frisco was a single patty with white American cheese, Swiss cheese and 1000 island dressing on sourdough. My Pub was also a single patty with "pub" cheddar, bacon, pickle and sautéed onion on a brioche bun. I loved the crispy bacon and sautéed onions, it really made the burger. The fries were super crispy and seasoned well, with both salt & pepper. The service is always friendly and attentive. We joked as we dined, that if we knew a single young lady, we'd want to introduce her to the waiter. He was cute and had a great personality. Lucky for him, we're not matchmakers. read more

Service was so great! We were greeted at the door and told to sit wherever. The waiter was very attentive. He checked on us often and the beer and food came quickly. The atmosphere was great. Good amount of TVs and they had an area to play darts. Our beers were kind of warm which is why I only gave 4 stars. I ordered the California wrap with a flour tortilla and my husband got a salad. Nothing special about the salad but the wrap was yummy! read more

We visited next door at Harvey's and needed something more substantial after a flight of espresso martinis. The space is clean and gives old school Italian restaurant vibes. They offer a full bar and have several local beers on tap. The menu consists of apps, bar food, and larger entrees. Sam was our server. He was fantastic and took good care of our table. We tried a few items off the menu: t-ravs, Parmesan cheese fries, and sliders. Everything was delicious. I think the fries were my favorite. But if I'm honest, I never had a fry I didn't like read more

Totally unassuming from outside. No big signs and we can easily drive past it and not knowing it's here. The inside is really cute. Nicely decorated for Christmas. Food was delicious. Gotta try the toasted smash burger. read more

We literally live 5 minutes from here so I'm not sure why we haven't tried it! We have pub passes from 2024 and are trying to get through as many as possible before the end of the year and this was on the list so we decided to give it a try. It's more of a divey spot, very casual. The service was fantastic all night long though, we sat at the bar and it did not disappoint. They have some great beer and wine options, and from what we could tell, made some pretty great cocktails. Their whiskey selection was also great. Their fries are amazing and crispy. The burger was good but the patty was a little dry for my liking. My husband really enjoyed the sandwich. For convenience, I think we would definitely stop in here again. I can see why it's rates so high. read more

First time here at what, evidently, is a beloved St. Louis bar/restaurant. Loved it! We were there at happy hour (they even have happy hour on Saturdays until 8pm!), and they have outstanding drink deals. The craft cocktails were $7. I had a very generous Manhattan. The food isn't anything over the moon, but it's solid. I had the Pub Smash burger and mashed potatoes. I devoured it all (without shame ). I'm a cheapskate and thought the prices were great. The service was outstanding. It wasn't crowded when we got there (around 6pm on Saturday), but it gradually got busier as the night went on. It has a fun sports bar feel. Can't believe I hadn't tried this place before now, but I'll definitely be back. read more

We were in St. Louis and looking for a local family run place to get lunch. We found Beffa's on Yelp and decided to try it out. It was a cute small place, it definitely gave more of a bar vibe but our kids enjoyed the games during the daytime. The servers were wonderful, they gave good recommendations and were very helpful. The food was delicious, we got a pizza for the kids to share. My husband enjoyed the smash burger and the Ruben was probably the best I've ever had. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant meal here. Their reuben differentiates itself by using a tamer version of sauerkraut. - kind of a cabbage slaw - and not drowning in dressing. The corned beef was lean and high-quality. and that's what really matters. A few types of Heavy Riff beer on draft is a plus. read more

I come here at least once a month for trivia. Their prices and vibes are so good. The owners, bartenders, and waiters are all so nice! They do not have a sign on the bar so look out for their big parking lot behind their building. They have trivia that starts at 6:30pm and happy hour from 4-7pm. Finally a spot with trivia that starts early and happy hour that runs late! They have other cool events like music bingo and karaoke. Highly recommend coming here to pregame for a downtown event or dropping in after a sporting event or concert! My go to order is the crispy chicken wrap with hot honey and a side of fries. Both have great flavor and generous portions. I have tried the frisco smash but it is a little smaller and lacks the 1000 island sauce. Be prepared for a busy night during events especially trivia nights. read more

Easy parking! Another stop on our beer passport today. Had absolutely no idea this place even existed. Apparently they are known for not having a sign, but it has been in business since 1899! Still family owned by the 4th generation from Switzerland and we had some great service while we were there. Pretty good beer menu and a full bar. They look to be a very popular place for watching the STL FC soccer matches. Known for their smash burgers but when I go back for food I will be trying the Orange Chicken Bowl! The waitress said that they hired a new chef a couple of months ago and the food is really good. Definitely will be back! read more

Honey Bee's took over the kitchen at Beffa's and just launched their new menu. On national Fried Chicken Sandwich day, I opted for the special - A fried chicken biscuit - of course! If this is on the menu, give it a try! (4.5/5) Generous, hand breaded juicy chicken sauced with a nice Cajun remoulade-like sauce plus homemade pickles - all on a big fresh biscuit "kissed" with butter and honey. Tater tots were seasoned well. Service was friendly and prompt. Drinks come from the Beffa bar. Ambiance was nice and joyful - with some good tunes blasting throughout! (Who doesn't like the chainsmokers?) read more

Went here for a quick meet up with a friend that came into town who was driving cross country. They were so nice and very attentive. We just hadn't seen each other in over 10 years so we were so caught up in conversation since we only had 40 minutes. The place was kind of bare but it was 11:30am in the middle of the week. Lots of christmas decor, with a tree and everything. Lots of small tables and my company had a happy hour here where I heard was a good time too. I will definitely have to come back for the full experience though! read more

Love Beffa's. Such a pleasure to visit with Paul and his servers. They make my friends and I feel welcome. The smash burgers are the bomb, and served with delicious fries. And as if it couldn't get any better, we mentioned that we were celebrating bdays and they treated us to dessert, Paul's mom's bread pudding. So yummy! read more

Just went to trivia here (once a month on Wednesdays ) and had such a good time! They have a great variety of food with plenty of healthy options + fries are out of this world. The owner is so friendly as well as the server. They also have a special apple pie moonshine that is dangerously tasty. Will definitely be coming back next month! read more

Not the same as in its previous incarnation that was a St. Loud institution, but still worth visiting.

Excellent burger, great vibe, above-average service (although it wasn't extremely busy) Got the Spicy Smash with fries and loved every bit of it. Get a side of smash sauce for dipping. Burger was not too greasy, had a toasted bun, and a unique combination of ingredients which went together well! Drinks were strong and tasty. While you're there, check out the Stan Musial art bearing The Man's own inscription, written to Berra's which I'll let you discover on your own. A new favorite for me read more

So I'm still getting to know the area, and I went to this spot after an appt. So glad that I did!!! Apologies for no pics ‍, but if you know me, I don't lie about my reviews. Paul (apologies if I'm wrong) was super cool when I walked in the spot. Always appreciate a nice greeting/welcome when I go somewhere. I had a Brick River Cider , and ordered a BLT, and the Housemade chips. BLT was awesome! More than enough bacon to fill you up, and everything was fresh. The Chips were delicious as well! Had a 4 Hands City Wide while I chatted with another customer, and Madison the other bartender, who also suggested a tasty libation of her own creation that I tried...scrumptious! This place is definitely a cool hangout bar, that I will be visiting again! read more

Need a last min place to try for brunch and we found this hidden gem. My family we greeted right away and was informed how the establishment is set up. The food was separate from the drinks which wasn't a big deal. The chief Steve I believe gave us a detailed run down on all the food. My kids enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Meanwhile I had the burger which was amazing,We also tried a few different breakfast shots and the mimosas. We definitely will be back! read more

I always like to support local family owned businesses, even more so when they donate to charity. Our large group was welcomed for dinner just as if we were family. The decor is simple with a simple menu. Food choices are somewhat limited, but I understand the kitchen will be closing soon and will be revamped and introduce a whole new menu. I'll definitely be back to try that. I opted for the potato Rossi, thin & crispy potatoes & onions garnished with Parmesan, similar to a gigantic potato pancake; a little heavy on the onions, but very good. Salad was simple and fresh. The smash burgers looked delicious and everyone was happy with their meals. Absolutely outstanding service from Kaleb! read more

A hidden GEM! Came with a friend to get a bite to eat and maybe a cocktail before going to see Shakespeare in the Streets. The food was GREAT, the service was AWESOME, and the cocktails were DELICIOUS! The exterior of the building is VERY unassuming, but it's SO nice once you get inside. We ended up getting TWO cocktails because they were so good. The bartender made one for my friend that wasn't even on the menu. We were going to split and share our food, so asked for an extra plate. The cut both items in half and served it to us each that way, NO extra charge! Cheerful staff that seemed HAPPY to be there. SUCH a great place! read more

We had a great meal and beers while catching up on a Blues game. They know how to make their customers feel special and know how to celebrate the Birthday girl in our party! read more

We've been meaning to come to this place for quite a while, I keep passing it while going downtown and it looks cute. We were not disappointed when we checked in for this weeks burger week. The staff was really friendly and very well dressed. There was lots of natural light and open seating around the restaurant. The Burger Week deal was a cheeseburger with toasted raviolis on top, such a St. Louis icon! We shared some sides and also grabbed some beers as well. I also think they have a happy hour until 6 o'clock, but we arrived right afterwards and weren't able to take it advantage of it. All the more reason to come back next time and try out some more things on the menu! read more

A great place to catch a soccer game! They had the game on almost all of the TVs and the sound filled the restaurant. They also had the Cardinals game on one of the larger TVs, if soccer isn't your thing :) The service was exceptional and we were so pleasantly surprised at the upscale cocktail options! They also have all of your standard beer, liquor, and wine. My partner and I ordered wings and a smash burger - both were delicious! We sat at the bar, but I do believe this is a family friendly restaurant, as we saw several children in the restaurant side. read more

My friends and I had a good time for brunch here. The service was really good, they weren't too busy when we were there so the bar tenders and servers were really attentive, checking on us frequently. The food was really good, i ordered the chicken and waffles. It comes with bacon and your choice of honey, maple syrup, or chipotle honey. The waffle was very fluffy and the chicken was fried very well. It wasn't overly seasoned but was seasoned well. The drink I had was the Reese's cold brew, which was chocolatey with a nice wintertime cream. The ambiance was pretty nice, we went around the holidays so they were playing Christmas music (the best Christmas songs) and had Christmas lights along the ceiling. We were visiting from out of town and the decor not only gave Christmas but also showed a good bit of St Louis pride. Overall, I had a good experience, it was affordable, had good service, good decor and ambiance, as well as good food. I think one thing they could improve on is probably organization. My friend ordered the ravioli but they were out so he had to get a substitution. I would definitely return and I invite you to check them out to make your own assessment. read more

This is a hole in a wall type of place. The food menu doesn't have a lot of options as portrait on google but overall it's good. Their cosmo was really good. The chicken sandwich was well seasoned. I substituted the aioli for Buffalo sauce. The Buffalo sauce tasted home maid, not sure how I felt about it. Probably healthy but not as spicy. Overall I liked the place. I was expecting more options for food based on the pictures on google but I'm sure their brunch is delicious. read more

Fun old bar. Servings are not large but satisfying. Glad we stopped in to visit a legend.

We went here to support a client of mine and needless to say, we'll be back! We went on a Wednesday that had half off smash burgers and half off (canned) craft beer, which was the main selling point for my husband as he's all about the deals! We were greeted right away, ordered all the same thing (smash burger with truffle fries) and got our food SUPER fast. The truffle fries are a MUST. It was a favorite of mine in KC and so hard to find done the right way in STL but Beffas nailed it! So if anything, come for the truffle fries! The smash burgers were also super tasty! Be sure to stop in and give Beffas a try! They support so many local charities and are locally owned read more

I heard about this place called Beffa. Someone it was the best. I decided to go. When I got to the door I noticed 2 restaurants had letters on the door. Much to my surprise it was another place I wanted to try. Upon entering I discovered that Honeybees now runs the kitchen during the day. Later Beffa runs the entire restaurant. Somehow they make it work. The food was great. Service was good. I must go back in the evening to try Beffa and then cocktails read more

Free parking in the rear. Arrived shortly after opening. Not crowded at all. You order at the counter for food and pay, bar services will be separate bill. Service was friendly and fast. Food came out quick and was very good. We had the fried chicken and waffles with fermented garlic honey, tater tots and biscuits and gravy. Will be adding this spot to our breakfast rotation. Wife loved how good and crispy tater tots were. We wanted to order more, glad we did not as we could not finish what we ordered. read more

Stumbled across this hidden gem the day before St. Patrick's Day. We were going to order the smash burgers, but they had corned beef made for St. Pat's so settled on the reuben. It was so good!

10/10 I highly recommend Beffa's. This restaurant has been open for years but closed temporarily. They have the best reuben in St. Louis. I have been twice and was able to try a few things. I loved the smash burger with crispy, pub chips. The wedge salad was a large portion, very fresh, and tasty. I loved the chicken wings and thought the sauce had the prefect level of heat. Omg... and the reuben rolls! The rolls were essentially three large, cheesy egg rolls filled with corned beef and Swiss cheese. They came with a side of thousand island dipping sauce and I thought they were amazing! Look online for happy hour specials. Thursday is half price drinks all day. Everything. Is. Half. Off. Angel's Envy was half off! IYKYK! read more

Amazing bar/restaurant, charm of being family owned, food was great. And honestly the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a restaurant.

The food is good, I had a rueben on rye. The bread was toasted perfectly. You could hear the crunch when you bite into it. I also had fries whice in MY opinion were " meh" They have a full bar, so this would be an excellent place to watch the games, all of them. There's big screen televisions everywhere . The service was on point. I will be back. read more
