    First of I have to say the customer service is amazing! Cathy is always working and always willing to come to your table to see how you are doing! The place is really great to sit inside and eat. With pictures on the wall of her travels and where she took inspiration for her dishes is really unique. The food I had was amazing. Loved the Chicago Philly the best I have ever had at least. The voodoo shrimp was cooked perfectly and I absolutely love her strawberry cake!

    Cajun Seafood Pasta
    Brandon C.

    I wanted to try a black owned restaurant while I was visiting Ferguson. I came across this place on TikTok. Once I got it I noticed the decorations & they general set up of the restaurant and I loved how it gave revamped diner. You can order food on the kiosk which I'm not a big fan of because I like to ask questions about the menu when I've never been somewhere before. After sitting for a while without any acknowledgment I just went to the counter to see if I could just place an order. I wanted to dine in but I was informed that they were closing early because they had a food shortage. I was lucky to be able to even get in my order although I had already been sitting there waiting for service. I ordered the pasta to which I loved & thought it was excellent. The grits I ordered was horrible. They had no flavor and had a very dry "sandy" taste about them. I also had a fish & chicken entree that was decent. After this poor experience I can admit that I would go back to get that pasta again because it was that good. Next time I'll be sure to order TO GO.

    Thursday and 3 Whole Wings & Cup of Gumbo (1) Sole of the wings weren't battered and the others were
    Deosha D.

    Ordered the 3whole wings and cup of gumbo plate and a Thursday plate. After waiting 20 minutes for my food they gave me chicken that was unbattered on the gumbo plate because they "ran out of batter" and didn't say anything to me until i asked why half my chicken was naked. Then they forgot my fries after i asked for them twice. The girl at the counter was drinking a frappe in the kitchen and using the same gloves to touch orders. They also didn't have the drinks we ordered and instead of replacing them they just weren't going to give us anything. Very disappointed as this is not the experience i had last time i came to Cathy's Kitchen.

    If you're dining in there are two touchscreens to complete your order. You can also scan the QR code and order. The server was very friendly and explained how everything worked. I had the seafood mac&cheese I also added sausage. It was very tasty. There was also cool the robot brought your food.

    Located in Ferguson, I am happy to see things continue to grow in this area. I've been following Cathy for some time on Instagram. I finally had the opportunity to come check them out. The place had a little bit of a diner vibe red and black decor with photos from their family travels, and celebrities. The menu is themed around the places they have traveled. New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago to name a few. We were greeted warmly by the team. Guests can either order via kiosk at the front of the restaurant or via QR code at their table. You're meal gets delivered to your table by the most adorable server Plato! The food was delicious. My favorite city is New Orleans, and am well versed in creole and Cajun cooking. I went with the catfish po boy. I was blown away! The bread was the exact crusty French bread a traditional po boy is served on. The fish was seasoned and fried to perfection. Their aioli was the perfect combination for this sandwich. I also went with the red beans and rice. The beans were perfectly creamy. They stayed creamy once mixed in to the rice and did not dry out. The salt was a little more than I am used to, but all the flavors were perfect. My companion went with the buffalo chicken wrap. This wrap was stuffed full. The fries were also fantastic. Crisp and well seasoned and pillowy soft on the inside. I recommend paring them with a side of aioli. In all we had wonderful experience and plan to visit again soon.

    Our table after eating
    Earl J.

    Came here with my family for a very late lunch...early dinner...because we all wanted to try the food. 1. The food is good - I had the catfish plate... with over cooked broccoli/ no pickles/ no onions / and tiny packets of hot sauce... despite the fact the menu shows ..25 cent charge for extra hot sauce. And not a single staff member even asked if I wanted it...and the menu photos shows the dish with pickles/ onions. 2. The use of technology such as QR code for the menu... needs to be updated and allow for total table orders. 3. There's a robot that serves the food to the table - yet it does not display who the food is for / no table number / nor what was ordered. It's cute... but how do we know if we got the wrong food.... 4. The place smells like burnt grease and smoky. If you come smelling like roses, you will leave smelling like old grease. 5. Our table was never cleared by any of the staff... nor is there a place for customer to put finished plates. And even when staff came from behind the grill to start closing ... not a single one of them cleared our table. When my nephew asked if we need to clean the table or if an employee was going to do it... the person setting the chairs on the tables... without wiping them down/cleaning them... said "I will get around to it." 6. Don't expect water... it's $1-$2 a bottle... with tax... despite the fact we spent over 50 bucks for a party of 4. I get COVID did a l number on businesses of all sizes. And that's not an excuse to neglect the basics... I saw in another post where the owner replied they only have a staff of 6... yet I saw 4-6 people behind the counter. We were not only people eating in the restaurant... and not a single staff member walked themselves from around the counter to see if we needed anything. If a place is going to have tables for folks to sit and eat... then there's an expectation of service... especially when the POS system has the audacity to ask for a tip at the time of payment.

    This place is true gem. The food is absolutely amazing! Nostalgic ambiance. The chef was very warm and welcoming. She walked me down the street and into different businesses to showcase the history and charm of the community . It was a genuine experience.

    Taste is a very nice casual dining spot locates in Ferguson. It is a black owned restaurant…read more There is a rose wall for photo opportunities. They have some nice artwork on the walls. Customer service was great. You place your order and they bring it out to you. There was table service as well. The guy explained everything and answered any questions. The food was very good. I heard great things. It was as good if not better than what I heard. The turkey ham fried was delicious. They have an assortment of peppers, onions, green onions, and eggs with the e protein of your choosing. The Creole Pasta with oxtail was amazing. The oxtail was very tender. Last but not least I tried the wings and fries. Of course it was very good. They have there own seasoning blend on the fries. This made them stand out. Come try Taste if you haven't. You will be back again and again

    This was my second visit (08/21/2026) in little over a year…read more In my first visit last year, Taste presented itself as an upscale dining establishment. However, it was a total misfire. First off, my menu was handwritten on a sheet of notebook paper. My soft drink was served in an unopened can with a plastic cup of ice. My green beans were canned, and the pasta in my mac & cheese was overcooked. The words (upscale dining) and the execution didn't match up at all. Since then, I learned that Taste did a relaunch. So, with this second visit, I was curious to see what improvements were made. Unfortunately, in their relaunch, they decided to pivot from upscale dining, and be more of a casual, takeout-focused place. Dining in now consists of metal trays, condiment packets, paper napkins, and plastic cups. I was really hoping for an improved upscale dining experience. One thing I noticed right away was the number of long tables set up for seating up to 6 people. There were no tables for a smaller party (e.g., dinner for two). In fact, I think this was the same setup in the previous version of Taste. Prior to my visit, I checked out the menu at the website, and the Ox Tail Sliders caught my eye. However, at the restaurant, I discovered that the menu (this time, it was printed and laminated) didn't include the Ox Tail Sliders. I also discovered that all the other ox tail dishes were only available on Saturdays. So I chose the Fins N Feathers (4 chicken wings, 2 catfish filets, and fries), and the watermelon flavored lemonade. Even though the dining area wasn't particularly full, it still took about 35 MINUTES for my food to arrive at my table! And both the chicken and the catfish were very salty. For what it's worth, my server brought me another lemonade for having to wait so long. Overall, Taste just wasn't what I hoped to see on this second visit.

    Me and my two youngest kids decided to try Hendel's for the first time since resturant suggestions…read moreon google maps told me it was only 7 minutes from my house! They definitely did not disappoint! From the moment our food came out, everything smelled amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries with the spinach dip, and I absolutely loved the homemade chips that came with it. My kids got kids' meals and enjoyed their food as well. I also ordered a chicken Philly to-go for my son since it was his birthday, which made the visit even more special. Emma was our server, and she was very nice and attentive throughout our meal. I also loved that they have patio seating it's such a nice option, especially on a beautiful day even though we did not sit outside the patio seating we wanted was not open that night. I also liked how they had merchandise to buy while in the restaurant like tees, sweatshirts,bottles of wine . They also cook books for sale in their resturant by another shop we had recently been to called Made by Lia. That was definitely a nice community touch to show how close the area is to their companions! In addition, we had a great first experience and will definitely be back with the rest of the family!

    If Hendel's were a character, it would be Hagrid: enormous warmth, big portions, an old house…read moreyou're glad exists, and not much interest in refinement. The building does a lot of the work here: an old place sitting in the middle of Old Town Florissant's residential blocks, with a bar, a dining room, a porch, and a patio we didn't get to use (next cool evening, we will). It's charming, and a real asset to that neighborhood. It is also loud. Old plaster, hard surfaces, not enough hung on the walls to absorb any of it. The old fashioned was solid, sweeter than I prefer. Appetizers were the low point: toasted ravioli thick and hard enough to qualify as gum scratchers (filling was fine), flatbread middle of the road. Then the kitchen found its footing. Parmesan-encrusted chicken won the table, with a nice rice-orzo pilaf and green beans that weren't overcooked. The Jameson whiskey burger came blue cheese, bacon, crispy onions, glaze, brioche, and ate dry (although ordered medium): too many rich flavors, nothing acidic to cut through them. Burnt ends mac and cheese was good and rich, but the brisket wasn't tender as I had hoped. We caught a night with only one dessert (a moist Lemon Sunshine cake that tasted like a Dreamsicle) and ice cream to put beside it. Christy took good care of us, efficiently and strictly by the book. 3.7 out of 5 stars Punch up the apps, and bring some balance to some of the entrees and this would bring up my rating to the low 4s. Bring the relatives who flinch at a menu. Acid somewhere on the plate, tender brisket, ice cream by the cake, and something soft on those walls would move this up quickly.

    I had mixed feelings about our visit to Elicious. We were told the wait for a table would be about…read more15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to an hour. Once we were seated, it took another 10 minutes before our waitress came to the table, and about 40 more minutes before our food arrived. As for the food, there were definitely some highs and lows. The pancakes were outstanding--light, fluffy, and probably the best thing I had. My dad ordered the seafood omelet, and it looked amazing. He said it tasted just as good as it looked. On the other hand, the grits lacked seasoning, and the salmon croquettes could definitely use more flavor. I also ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, expecting the cheese to be mixed throughout the eggs, but instead it was simply a slice of cheese placed on top and partially melted. The staff was friendly and courteous throughout our visit, which I appreciated. However, as a culinary school graduate, I couldn't help but notice that the front-of-house operations seemed a bit disorganized. Better communication and more efficient service would make a significant difference to the overall dining experience. Overall, it was a mixed experience for our table of four. There were some dishes we really enjoyed and others that fell short. I'm on the fence about returning, but I haven't completely ruled it out. Hopefully they'll improve the timing and organization because the potential is definitely there.
