Inside Ameristar Casino St. Charles
Jennifer C.

Hadn't been to Ameristar in over a year and came to eat at a different restaurant which wasn't open for the day yet. Saw this and thought why not, it's new! Completely redesigned from the original sports bar, the seating is comfortable, TVs throughout and viewable from any seat in the house, modern and very clean. No cocktails this day, but a Sweet Tea instead which was freshly brewed and balanced. Started with the Asian Chicken springrolls, 2 in the order. Filled with chicken and cheese, these were OK, needed a bit more flavor. For the meal, Chicken Chipotle flatbread, really enjoyed this! The crust was crispy and buttery, ample toppings and good flavor. The Baja ranch drizzle does a good job breaking up the richness in the cheese. With the appetizer, I could only finish 1/2 of it. Staff was very friendly. Would certainly visit here again!

Margherita pizza

We put our name in and waited about 45 minutes before we got a call. It was a Saturday so it's understandable, but the hosts were telling people that even if they were seated the kitchen was backed up so good is taking 45 minutes. We sat down anyway, and it did take a while. Our waitress was nice though it felt like it went by quickly. Our food came out before our appetizers, but the appetizers were brought out quickly after. We didn't eat much of them, and the manager took them off our bill as an apology. Thag was nice, and above and beyond since it was unprompted! The food was not great. The Margarita pizza was not like any Margherita pizza I've ever seen. It was just odd, it also just wasn't good flavor anyway. Hot honey chicken wings were good but super spicy. LOTS of tvs around, definitely an upper scale sports bar. It's a nice and clean renovation! Pretty inside, they just have some work to do.

We decided to try out Charter 18, one of the new restaurants inside Ameristar. Since they're still new, it seems like they weren't seating at full capacity, which honestly worked in their favor -- the kitchen wasn't backed up and the atmosphere felt relaxed. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though service was on the slower side. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that this is just part of the growing pains of a brand-new spot. What we ordered: Chili - 9/10 (really flavorful, one of the highlights) Clam Chowder - 8/10 (rich and hearty, solid choice) Hot Honey Wings - 8/10 (nice balance of sweet and heat) Chicken Sandwich with tots - 7/10 (the slaw was very wet and by the time it came out, the bun was soggy from sitting in the juices -- tasty but texturally off) Flatbread (chicken - can't remember the name) - according to my daughter, the best flatbread she's ever had Cheesesteak Sandwich - 7/10 (good, but nothing mind-blowing) There was a bit of a mix-up: we received a burger instead of the cheesesteak. They fixed it, but it meant waiting about another 20 minutes while the rest of the table's food was already served and cooling. Overall: The food had some real highlights (the chili and flatbread especially stood out), and the staff was nice even if the service was slow. With a little more time to settle in and iron out the kinks, I think Charter 18 could become a really solid dining option inside Ameristar. I'd definitely give it another shot in a few months to see how they've grown.

Came here during a weekday and ordered a burger. For the fries, I am able to swap it out with onion rings. Service is good and food is acceptable. We wet to the casino after.

Philly Cheesesteak

Tons of tvs. Music is not too loud. A lot of tables. Waitress took our drink orders promptly. We ordered at the same time. Philly cheesesteak with fries and Havana Stack came out within 10 minutes nice and hot. Cheesesteak was very tasty. No fat or gristle. Would definitely order again. Fries were hot. Waitress was prompt. Great service.

Hot Honey Pepperoni Flat Bread
Kristen M.

I got to eat at charter 18 the first month they were opened. My husband and I sat at the bar and had cocktails and split the hot honey pepperoni flat bread. The bartender was attentive and suggested the smoked old fashion that they smoked right Infront of him and I tried the Berry Luck because I'm a gin girly. It was very refreshing and he enjoyed his old fashion as well. The real star though was that hot honey pepperoni flat bread. Ever since we tried it the first time I wanted to go back and get it again because it was so good. A great portion size to share for sure. We came back to the bar again this week and happy we were able to get it to go. It was just as delicious as the first time we tried it. Highly recommend.

Don't know why they chose to purée the butternut squash after roasting it, but that I think would've been better having the roasted bite with the beats.

The server was very knowledgeable about all things on the menu presented us with the off menu specials for the night information over everything offered with it. It was wonderful.

The chicken was prepared nicely. It was grilled it was delicious. I was expecting maybe a little bit more flavor to the chicken which could've helped with the pasta, but the pasta was very bland. Other than that, I loved everything and I will be back to try other things on the menu

Came here with a party of 12. Family had made a reservation and the table was all set up for us…read more The waiter was very good at his job, clearly passionate about the food (when he told us the specials I was practically drooling- so eloquent). He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Despite this being in essentially a rich persons strip mall the ambience inside was wonderful. Beautiful decor, wonderful atmosphere. The food was very very good. Love farm to table and this place delivers that with elegance. I highly recommend this place for a nice night out. The prices reflect the quality you get. The 38$ pork chop I ordered was excellent and a lot of food! They handled a group of 12 very well. And from experience I know not a lot of places can pull it off but this place did with grace. Highly recommend.

I was looking to "book" a private dining room in a restaurant that I thought might be good. I called Prasino's, but couldn't speak with anyone because their Customer Service is geared to choosing numbers on my phone keypad. Okay, I followed the rules-- left my name and contact information and sat back to wait for a call. It has now been over 48 hours and there has been no call; no message. I've now booked with another local restaurant. A place that has humans who will speak with a person when he or she calls. I suppose they must have all the business they need? Mu business would have only provided between 5 and $10,000 but hey-- I guess that's not worth returning a call. In any case, I don't recommend Prasino's. I suppose they just don't care.

As they should on NYE. Still, we never felt rushed. In fact, our waiter, Todd, was very attentive and even slowed down another server who was going to bring us our salads (a house and a caesar with anchovies) before we had a chance to finish our appetizer (a savory and spicy jambalaya arancini). Good catch on his part. We both had a glass of prosecco to start and then split a bottle of French pinot noir (Domaine de Valmoissine) to go with our entrees (steak tip pasta and steak frites). My wife loved the pasta dish (fresh pappardelle with steak tips, demiglace cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms) and my steak was perfectly prepared medium-rare with crisp and flavorful garlic fries and a side of green beans and shiitake mushrooms. It's the kind of meal and service we've come to expect at Timothy's. We look forward to the spring and some new menu items with the change of seasonal foods.

The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating for those dining in. This is one of the only truly authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I got one each of the asada and pastor tacos, they were fabulous. They come with plenty of onion and cilantro on top, as well as an almost creamy salsa. Zero complaints. I gave the shrimp ceviche a try as well--the flavor was on point, however the avocado had seen better days. The shrimp was still a little gray as well. It was a very generous portion though, for one tostada--definitely not complaining! ;) I'm excited to eat my way through this menu--so, so happy to see more authentic cuisines in the Saint Charles area.

The pico de gallo was so flavorful & the perfect compliment to the dish. Also got two chicken tacos with the traditional cilantro onion lime and salsa verde. That salsa was so so good but definitely has heat to it so I'm glad I started with a small amount. I love that they are also a shop so you can buy Mexican staples and dried chili peppers and things like that. Looking forward to trying some other things they offer! The staff was really nice too.
