A classic South City mainstay. Great steak sandwich. Unique white French dressing. They were really nice to my kid. Highly recommend.

Service was great The sandwich we had was mostly bread so disappointed there. The worst part was the business charges the customer the credit card fees. REALLY then tries to pass it off as a cash discount LOL. They really believe in stupid people. read more

Biggie's has been on my must-try list ever since I moved to the neighborhood five years ago, and I finally made it in last weekend. The hype is real! This local spot has a great vibe and an even better menu. My husband ordered the steak, and wow, hands down one of the best we've had in ages. Perfectly cooked, juicy, thick, and packed with flavor. I went with a classic, pasta con broccoli, and it was just what I needed, comforting, delicious, and satisfying. Between the welcoming atmosphere and the quality of the food, I can already tell we'll be regulars here. Excited to come back and try more! read more

Biggie's Restaurant - Pasta and Steak - American Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

We started with pretzel bites with a cheese dip. The pretzel bites were served hot. Thank you! They were delicious with and without the cheese dip. I ordered the cannelloni with red and white sauce. The cannelloni was served hot. Thank you again! The cannelloni was delicious. Very flavorful and tasty. Our server was Kayla and she was excellent. Great service and a friendly personality. The restaurant has a comfy homey vibe where everyone is welcome and no one leaves without a full belly. read more

We went for dinner while in the area. We ordered the app platter to start. It was good- a solid mix of your favorite apps- fried mushrooms, potato skins, zucchini sticks. The potatoes skins were the stand out for me, although smaller than most, they were loaded with cheese and bacon and satisfies my craving. My husband ordered the steak sandwich- it was delicious. Cooked perfectly on cheese garlic bread and definitely a runner for the best we've had. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. It was fine. It came out with the bun slid off lacking cheese. The chicken breast was a good size and crispy, but their sauce was too sweet for me and too sweet for a chicken parm in my opinion. I got broccoli for my side and it came out on its own plate as half a head of broccoli. A giant sized portion, which was appreciated and a bit comical at the same time. Our service was great. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd go back, but I would order something different. My husband would definitely get the steak sandwich again. read more

You would be very surprised after seeing this place that they would have a gluten free pizza - because it really is just kind of an old school south city sports bar. Lots of photos of famous people adorn the walls. Service was very courteous and they were quite busy on a Sunday. I had the gluten free breakfast pizza and it was genuinely such an enjoyable comfort food. It was about $85 before tip for a family of three one being a child. A litttle bit of sticker shock given what I was expecting. read more

Walking in it looks like it's just a bar, but they have a dining area as well. When we walked in and was seated our server was very sweet. You can tell she was very overwhelmed. She didn't get us our drinks or bread for a long time. When I asked if the kids could get some bread she said they was almost out. I pointed out customers that came in after us were getting bread. When our food came out she forgot to bring the things we ordered with our food. My kids orders were not correct. This isn't the first time I have ordered from here and the food is really good. The fed my family a lot during Covid and we were excited to actually eat there , but was disappointed with the service we got. My kids tracked down servers for refills on drinks, napkins, and utensils. Again the food is great the tortellini's are really good and the burgers are great too. We got breaded artichokes. They were really good as well. read more

Great neighborhood patio! Friendly staff, we were here on a Friday late afternoon and we were here just to hang out. Biggies delivered. I had no idea what to order, I asked for a recommendation and was told the steak sandwich. I was expecting something like a Philly, but the steak was truly, one piece on a bun, cheese and onions, very good, very tender. I thought about that sandwich all day and very much enjoyed the awning on the patio, that included fans for when it gets too warm outside. read more

. The salad had a lot of provel in it ! The pasta was very tasty. I would definitely want to try their other food. Servers were very helpful and nice . It's an older restaurant and lots of seating. Parking is a bit tricky depending if you end up by the one way and need to turn down another street to get into the parking lot read more

My coworker told me about Biggies. We decided to sit down for a bite and I was pleasantly surprised. We sat at a pub table. Lots of choices on the menu and the food came out pretty quick. They have a house French dressing that's so good! Our server was also working the bar but it didn't stop him from providing good service. The lighting was dim but not too dark. Perfect for dinner or game watching read more

Came here for lunch two weekends in a row, it does not disappoint. We also shared so we could have some variety. French onion soup was perfect on a rainy Saturday. The pasta con broccoli is top notch. Trashed wings are a must try. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was pretty good, whatever French bread they use is divine. I also love that they serve bread & butter at the start of the meal. They always seat us pretty quickly and the service is fast. One of my new favorite go tos! read more

Came here for dinner before a night out. I saw that they had a patio and Italian food. This was a Friday night and we were able to get a table right away. We ordered everything to share - family style. Appetizer trio with pretzel bites, ravioli and potato skins. I loved it all, but not everyone did. The pretzel bites had a bit of a sweet flavor, the potato skins were very greasy and the ravioli had great flavor. I'd recommend it. We had a house salad and it was HUGE, all 3 of us ate it and still had leftover. The creamy Italian dressing was amazing. Lastly we ordered an alfredo with chicken and none of us really cared for it. The sauce did not have a great flavor.... it was disappointing. They also provide a bread basket and it was good. The bread was soft delicious. After ordering the server let us know the kitchen was a bit behind and things may take a bit. Cool, we were prepared for that. We were not quite prepared for this dinner to to take almost 2 hours... Overall, I'd come back for the food and maybe try another dish and would like to sit on the patio (others with me opted out). read more

Large portions of pastas. Since pastas didn't come with salads we ordered a large salad to share. I thought the cheese on the salad was plentiful and tastes good. Had a little bit of a waiting to get a table on a Friday night but not too bad. Parking was tricky. read more

This place is Big! It's amazing how many dining rooms and seating areas are available besides the bar area. Our server made some nice suggestions for dinner and appetizers. We ordered the appetizer sampler of potato skins, jalapeño poppers, and toasted raviolis which were very good. I ordered the Reuben sandwich which was tasty. The kitchen really cranks out the food, and we didn't have to wait very long for our meals. I'll be back! read more

Review #1900 Biggie's is a St. Louis Classic in my opinion. I hadn't been in a few years and stopped in on a Sunday evening for dinner. I had to have a dinner salad with the white French dressing. The dressing is a little sweet, a little creamy, and very tangy. There's nothing else quite like it. For dinner I ordered a pepperoni and bacon pizza with extra sauce. It was delicious. Nice crisp crust and provel cheese. My dinner date ordered the Fried Chicken which I believe is the Sunday night special. It's a 1/2 chicken with 2 sides. She was very happy. We both took home leftovers. The service is always friendly. This is a great neighborhood place and it makes me miss living in this neighborhood. We'll be back! read more

All day long amazing staff the food is to die for very clean food is all freshly cook to order and you can't go wrong with the steak sandwich on garlic cheese bread pizza is outstanding salad always comes out cold house dressing i can't say much more the owners are very friendly you feel at home when you walk in the door five star from JG/19 read more

The bbq beef is basically deli sliced roast beef with some bland bbq sauce, the baked potato even had a funky taste and we asked for sour cream and butter and got neither, our waitress didn't write anything down so probably why she forgot but seriously who wants to eat a bakes potato plain? Really not impressed and we both had stomach issues when we got home no more Biggies for us read more

Dropped by on a Saturday morning and we were quite happy with how the food turned out. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Service was fast and attentive with great recommendations from the staff. I got the spare ribs and they were tender and you can taste the smoky flavor. It wasn't dependent on the sauce to elevate and that's a hallmark of good ribs. The pasta and salad portions were perfect and tasty. I'd recommend the French dressing on the salad. read more

I don't know how this place doesn't have five star! It is one of my favorite places to eat! Anytime I am in the area. My wife knows that I will be stopping here and I usually get a call or a text message to bring food home. My absolute favorite is the steak sandwich on garlic cheese, bread with grilled onions and pepperoncini's! If you've never had white French dressing, you've gotta have it from here. It is amazing and I dip everything in it. read more

Tried again too stupid roach in the paper bag we took our food home in. Might have come from the food box but don't want to think about it too much. All food pitched $80 dollars plus tip down the drain $100 read more

Excellent stop!! We sat at the bar and Sarah gave us great service. It was our first time here, and we were very pleased with the local feel, and servers who genuinely looked like they enjoyed being there. We split a cheeseburger which was very flavorful. Add the homemade sauces and you have a real winner!! We'll be back! read more

Wow, what a surprise. What this place lacks in curb appeal is made up in the quantity and quality of dishes they offer. Food was very tasty and prepared promptly, even on a rather busy night. Wide variety of basic American fare. Great spot to bring families for dinner or lunch. Also a nice bar if you wish after dinner drinks. Prices compare with local competition. read more

If you haven't had the white French salad dressing, you're doing it wrong. Biggies is a south city staple and If you haven't been, you must go! It has a classic brick feel and tons of pictures all over the walls- family and lots of STL locals. I love the small and connective feeling you get when you go in. I've been to Biggies multiple times, so I obviously had to include multiple pics from multiple trips! The dinner salad is always a good choice because I love provel on anything, none the less a salad. Let tour is super fresh! As stated above, you must try the white French dressing, it is made in house and *chefs kiss* STL style pizza! The Buffalo chicken pizza with the mustard sauce was amazing, refer back to provel comment. Dipped this in their house made ranch it definitely hit the spot. The steak sandwich is served on garlic cheese bread. I feel like that's enough of a review in itself. Saved the best for last: I truly think their fettuccine Alfredo is some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is a perfect consistency and has just the right amount of Parm. Check them out! read more

The stink of sour beer hits you in the face before you even open the front door and it doesn't look any cleaner inside than it smells. Food was incredibly overpriced for being completely mediocre and having to deal with the stench of unclean dive bar. No offense, but this is clearly one of those places only highly recommended by locals b/c they don't get out much to know quality, never going back. read more

I am giving the bar/restaurant 4 stars, but not for the food. Service was good, ambiance is a typical South St Louis neighborhood bar, but as a plus the men's room appears to have been torn out, totally cleaned up and renovated. I only know the ownership slightly but am aware that one of the brothers passed away at a young age (I'm 67 so compared to me anyway) and the family has kept the restaurant/bar going. I've previously reviewed this bar for pizza, today I had the meatloaf special. It was 3 stars max. Food was not hot, it was warmish, but it went cool very quickly (my guess is the plates aren't kept warmed). The potatoes were the real thing but I barely nibbled on them. The reason, the gravy had an interesting flavor and went all over the potatoes and liberally on the meat loaf. I must be from a different era, the other meatloaf meals I've had, or prepared, came with brown gravy on the side or just on the potatoes and a tomato based meat sauce, if any, on the meat. I did not know the ground beef would come out with gravy on it, had I known that I would have told them bring it without the gravy. The portions were huge for a lunch, so as expected with lemonade and a tip it was $20. Lastly, corn was included and on the side but I wouldn't have served corn like that for a dinner at home. It looked like dried out canned corn like my mom pushed on us in the 60's, I couldn't even taste it. For a place to watch a sporting event, the drinks have always been fine, the bartenders nice even when busy, the apps are good and if people around you are getting pizza and it looks and smells good then I'd just stick with pizza. read more

I enjoyed the homey feel of this local restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. They served the nice soft Italian bread with sesame seed crust to start the meal. I really enjoyed my salad and the creamy Italian dressing. For dinner, I ordered the chicken parmesan with a side pasta with meat sauce. The chicken parm was pretty tasty - I would've preferred a thinner breading that was a bit more crispy, and the chicken was a bit overcooked, but the marinara sauce was sweet and tasty. I really liked the meat sauce on the pasta. It had excellent flavor! My husband ordered the cannelloni for dinner. I tried some of his and wasn't a big fan. They didn't melt any cheese on top and the overly sweet sauce didn't really work on this dish. I'd probably be at 3.5 stars for this place, but would still come back if in the area. read more

Went here with some friends and their kids and we had a good time. Waitress was very nice and the place is kid friendly. I got the cannelloni and it was ok. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me. There was also no cheese on top which is pretty uncommon. Not sure if they forgot it? The 2 medium size noodles were filled with decently seasoned meat and cooked properly. I would have liked a thick meat sauce instead of the sweet marinara served with it. My wife got the chicken parm and it was pretty good. Chicken was a bit overcooked but the breading and flavors were on point. Side dish of red noodles were also decent. Nothing to write home about for either of these dishes, but a good laid back atmosphere to hang out and watch a game. read more

Started with the BBQ chicken wings, super yummy. Nice sweet bbq sauce. They also bring out bread & butter for the table. I got a taco salad, and the waitress even brought out a big bowl to put it in. The grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly. Hubby got the half sandwich & a cup of vegetable beef soup, I tasted the soup & it was perfect. The sandwich was turkey club & had some beautiful tomatoes on it. First time coming here, we will definitely be back. Excellent service & close to home. read more

This restaurant has been around for a really long time. We went on a Saturday night and with another couple. We had high expectations. We expected a wait and we're fine with that, which was about as long as we were told. Then we sat down. We realized that others were coming in and getting attention and yet even after we were greeted, the waitress came to get our drink orders. After a while she returned with them. We were ready to begin ordering and then she ran off. It must have been about 10 minutes before she came back. Finally, we ordered. Again, I would say that we must have waited about 30-40 minutes for the food to arrive. It came and for 2 of us, the orders of chicken Parm came out looking wrong. We were all hungry and only my wife spoke up to another waiter as we hardly ever saw ours. In a few minutes a Manager came over and he saw the problems. He said they were sloppy in the kitchen and stated how they were extremely busy. The order would not be charged and a replacement would be sent out. By this time, the other 2 were nearly finished eating. About 15 minutes later one of the 2 dishes was replaced and looked better. We figured that we sat about 90 minutes and were finally getting that last dish. The Manager took off the one dish as the other person did not speak up due to being so hungry, he just ate what he had. My wife said we would not be coming back. I just had a big salad with cheese as I did not want meat in it. They didn't discount for no meat, but instead loaded it up with cheese, which was fine with me. I also inquired about adding cheese garlic bread and after getting a rather honest answer from the waitress, I did not order it. I thought the price of 9.50 was high for some bread with cheese and the waitress confirmed my thoughts, over priced on that. It should have been around $6.5 or 7.00. If it was, I would have ordered it. As far as the taste of the food, we all agreed it tasted good. But the wait time and lack of attention was disappointing. Originally , I wanted to get a pizza and small salad, but felt together the cost was too much for those items. Oh well, it must have been a really bad night for the owners as well.... Not really sure if we would go back, but wow they do have a following! read more

I used to live in the same neighborhood Biggies restaurant is located in , so when my daughter wanted to meet up for dinner it was the first choice. However no more I would like to give Biggies the award for my worst dinning experience in 2022. arrived a little before 6 my daughter arrived and 6:05 and we ordered. salads came out and then we waited and waited and waited some more. an hour later our food came out at least the food was good but my daughter did not get the veal parm she ordered she got chicken parm instead. over all a very bad experience next time we will go to the Mexican restaurant across the street. Probably my last visit to this restaurant. Thanks for ruining our night!!! read more

Biggie's is one of my favorite restaurants. It's normally order their Steak Sandwich, which is excellent. Today I picked up a carry out order and tried their 8 oz burger with fries. Awesome burger! And finally, I also ordered 2 bowls of the Saturday Soup of the day, Potato Ham. It's the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, friendly servers. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food and family like atmosphere. My husband can either have a casual drink or go for an all out date night. It is appropriate for both! I highly recommend the wings and their pastas. read more

It might not look like much but this might be the best steak sandwich I've ever had. If you're looking for great bar food and great sandwiches look no further.

The servers are always nice and attentive to your needs. read more

Biggie's Restaurant - Steak Sandwich on Garlic Cheese Bread with sweet potato fries - American Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

We are in from out of town and loved that this place is close enough for us to walk. We were surprised by the number of pasta and pizza dishes at a bar and grill type place. Ended up getting pizza, and 2 cheeseburgers. The menu is a bit overpriced we thought for the dishes. The cheeseburger was ok, nothing to rave about but they accidentally brought it on the garlic cheese bread for one of them and that was not the best way to have it but it was eaten regardless. Actually surprised by how many locals were getting to go orders and such. Would eat there again but is not on the top of the list of meals to remember. read more

Our niece introduced us to Biggie's Restaurant and Bar during our visit over Easter weekend. For 30 years, this family-owned and operated business has been run by 2 generations of the Preiss family. It was definitely worth the hour drive we made. Parking was easy with a lot behind the restaurant. We entered through the back door which led us through the enclosed patio. As we stepped into the restaurant the hostess stand was just inside. There were 5 of us so they sat us at a big, round table with elbow room. The restaurant consists of 3 large dining rooms with a bar area and enclosed patio. The restaurant has a rustic decor and laid-back atmosphere with the walls covered in photos and sports memorabilia. Our server, who's name I have forgotten, was wonderful. She arrived quickly for our beverage orders and returned promptly. She was very efficient with her trips back and forth to tables. The menu had a wonderful selection of appetizers, soup, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, steaks, chicken/veal parm, pork chops, baked/fried cod, shrimp, pasta plus more. All the salad dressings, marinades and pasta sauces are made from scratch. Don't forget they cater from 5 to 500 if you need their services. Our table ordered the breaded cod (4 pieces), a generous amount of Spaghetti and meatballs with thin spaghetti in thick meat sauce with tasty meatballs, an excellent large serving of Linguine Clams with long noodles and chopped clams in a white garlic sauce and lastly, two delicious pizzas; Hamburger & Pepperoni and Sausage & Green Peppers on a thin crust. Everything we ordered was wonderful plus generous portions. I loved the Linguine and Clams and my husband said the sauce and meatballs were one of the best he's had before. The slice of sausage pizza I had was very flavorful on a thin crust. My sister-in-law thought the cod was terrific but couldn't believe she had 4 pieces of cod plus 2 sides. Everyone walked away stuffed and satisfied. If you get the opportunity, try Biggie's. We will be back when we return to Missouri. read more
