We sat in the covered outdoor dining area and it was very quiet and enjoyable. When we arrived at 5:30 it was pretty full of people so we waited for a table to open up and sat at the bar.

We went there on a Thursday evening with one of our (adult) daughters and our toddler…read moregranddaughter. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated right away. I looked around and I noticed the crowd was definitely an older one. There were no children's menus. My daughter asked the server if she could make up a little kid's meal - green beans, baked beans, mashed potatoes - and he said sure! We asked to have it brought over as soon as possible since our granddaughter was very hungry. It came out quickly. There were three decent-sized bowls! She enjoyed a little bit of each. Then shared food with her mom when the adults got our food. The green beans were canned - ugh. And the mashed potatoes weren't great. Our daughter got a burger and fries and said it was fine. My husband got fried chicken (he loves fried chicken and I don't make it!), and I got the short rib pot pie. My husband said the chicken was good! My pot pie was pretty good. The crust was nice and flaky and the meal looked large - the bowl underneath wasn't so large. The meat was good, but there were clearly canned veggies in it and I'm not a fan. Our server was inattentive. I literally walked over and asked for our check since he never came back after delivering our meals. The place is kind of cute - but the location is not great. It's kind of in the middle of a neighborhood and street parking can be scarce. They have quite a bit of seating - inside and out. We won't be back

I have always been a fan of the super juicy and thick burger, until I tried the Gooey Louie burger at Mac's Local Eats. It turned me into a fan of the smash burger. The fries are always crispy and super fresh. Possibly best fries in St. Louis as well. The service is amazing. All the staff members are super friendly. The games & views out the window are great too. We had been sleeping on Mac's Local Eats. We are officially regulars here!

Entry into the Restaurant and the order counter is straight ahead with a bar and bar seating to the right. Open, large dining area. If there is a line to the counter you have a great little area full of local goodies. Cute little books like Goodnight, St. Louis, foods like Louise's Granola, drinks like Southside Alchemy Bloody Mary, and so much more. Service behind the counter was superb! He was friendly and helpful, patient with our group. We were given a number after we all got our order in, and we found a table. We chatted while we waited for our food. Food runners/servers were also outstanding! Dropping food off, inquiring if we needed anything and assisting with questions. I had never had the onion rings before, and we had ordered the regular and the ripped. I liked the flavor of the regular, they were on the bigger side and I usually like skinny ones but these were delicious and crunchy. The ripped ones had a kick, if you like that. I got the pimento burger with cole slaw. I had also never had the cole slaw and it was really good! Crisp and tangy, more creamy than vinegary. I get the pimento burger that comes with 2 patties, pimento cheese, and fried green tomatoes with every intention of cutting it in half to save for the next day, it was so good with the gooey pimento cheese and the smash burgers with the crispy edges I could not stop eating! Nothing to save for the next day! Burger gone, slaw gone, a few onion rings gone. No room for a shake to end the meal although I have heard they are great. Great service, great food, fun space.

I visited Crusoe's Legacy on 07/15/2026…read more My chicken was cooked fine, but it could've used more seasoning. My sister's wings were underseasoned as well, and they were pale in color.

I'd never really noticed this bar before, since I entered from the back, but I'm so glad I stopped in. The patio is spacious and inviting, the inside is super clean, and there are plenty of tables perfect for groups. TVs are everywhere, there are a few slot machines if you like to gamble, and of course a dartboard--because what neighborhood bar is complete without one? The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and quick to get our food out. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor. I had the fried chicken and two sides GREAT! The portion sizes were generous, and I truly have no complaints about the food at all. We didn't try the cocktails this time, but everyone at the bar looked happy and well taken care of, and the bartenders were clearly on top of things. Crusoe's feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you can count on: great service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'm so happy we found this place--it's definitely going to be our local watering hole. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out!

The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere hits a really nice balance.

It's incredibly welcoming. Nick and Genesis are genuinely some of the kindest people you'll meet, and that hospitality comes through every time we're there. On top of all that, Stone Turtle does a ton to support the Dogtown community, which makes it even easier to keep coming back.

I had the Steak au Poivre and all in all I'm not mad at the dish. Not amazed, probably won't order it again, but it's well balanced between the grits and the asparagus. Asparagus was a bit less crispy than my preference but not bad. The steak was seasoned well and cooked to my preferred temp, I just don't think the green peppercorn sauce complimented it well. The only really negative thing about the place is the volume it can get to, it was a bit hard to hear who I was eating with. Otherwise I think the ambiance was homey and cozy and the lighting was soft for an enjoyable evening. I'll likely visit again sometime!

We were looking for a lunch bite to eat for a hungry carnivore adult, a gluten intolerant adult and…read morea vegetarian adult. After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch. But for the other 2 in our group, we walked out super satisfied.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up

Tonight we ordered takeout and realized when we got home that an item had accidentally been left out. I called, and the manager could not have been more apologetic or eager to make it right. I asked if my husband could come back to pick it up, and the manager actually offered to personally drop it off at our house if we lived nearby! I told him that wasn't necessary and sent my husband back since it really wasn't a big deal. When my husband got home, he told me how incredibly nice and apologetic everyone had been. They gave him a gift card AND even offered him a beer while he was there! Mistakes happen, and to me, how a restaurant handles them says so much more than the mistake itself. They went completely above and beyond over something we honestly weren't even upset about. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their neighborhood. We've always loved this place, but this experience made us love it even more. Great food, wonderful people, and truly the kind of family restaurant you want to support.

The food was fair. The fried cod was hot and breaded appropriately, but the two rectangular pieces didn't fit well on the round sandwich bun. I also had a side salad: iceberg, provolone cheese, red onion, tomato wedge and a few croutons which cost the high cost of $6.25. My partner had the potato skins and a spinach salad. The potato skins were good and hot, but the spinach salad was disappointing. We drank iced tea and one bottle of beer. The bill without tip was $65, which was an expensive lunch for the food and service we received. The women's bathroom also needs to see some improvements as the lock on the door, a hook-and-eye, doesn't close well, and the floor is all wonky in there. We don't plan on returning. They do have outdoor seating along the sidewalk that some chose to sit at. Parking is street parking.

The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF. The burger was extremely underwhelming, not seasoned at all. How do you specialize in burgers and mess that up. The best item we ate was the fries and the comedy show was good. I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back. The smells alone (all good of course) will have you lingering back!
