Savor Saint Louis Food Tours - Texas-style BBQ Ribs

Three of us took the Delmar Loop food tour with our guide Tracey. First I would like to say Tracey…read morewas a wonderful guide with so much knowledge of the area. She told us the history of the loop, what's currently going on and what's up and coming. We could not have asked for a better guide. The food is important but having a good guide I think is equally important. Tracey went above and beyond. We loved her. Five stars for Tracey. Now on to the food. I will list what where we stopped and rate each individual place. SALT AND SMOKE- OMG THE BEST PLACE ON THE TOUR. They gave us brisket and Mac -n- cheese( which they just won an award for) I live on the East Coast and we are not known for good BBQ but being a foodie I do know good food and this place was slammin! The brisket was the best I've ever had and so was the Mac-n-cheese made with some ritz crackers on top. The manager was very friendly and welcoming. They showed us the smokers up close which was very cool. They have 4 different sauces to try all made in house and all delicious. Liked it so much we are going back for dinner. PI PIZZA- Being from the East Coast, New Haven, home of world famous Sally's and Pepe's Pizza I have high standards for pizza. This pizza was not what I'm used to but enjoyed trying it anyway. They served a small pizza for the 3 of us which is extremely generous on a food tour! SHAWARMA KING- kind of a dive place for college kids, kind of while in the wall place. Chicken schwarma was tasty and falafel was average. Owner wasn't talkative or friendly but that's ok. I would eat here if a broke college kid or drunk at 2am but not a place for a first date SEOUL TACO- Korean taco joint. We had a beef taco which was delicious and kimchi rice that was also good. I would go back to this place for sure. PICCIONE PASTRY- they gave each of us a gooey butter cake canoli. St. Louis is famous for gooey butter cake if u didn't know. The cannoli was filled to order and was very good. Very sweet but very good. The tour was about $55 a person and was well worth it. I've been on other food tours across the country and this one gave us the most food for our money. I've been to others where we left hungry but not here! If you take this tour at 11 am like we did I suggest you do not eat breakfast! I would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting St Louis both for the food and to learn the history. Lastly, the picture attached to my review is for Tracey. We ran into this famous guy as we entered our hotel right after our tour. We wished Tracey was still with us when we met him. Tracey we hope you see this picture and if the company sees this review please show Tracey the pic! Thanks!

Was in St. Louis for a couple of days and we decided to do a food tour. We chose the Central West…read moreEnd tour. Carrie was our tour guide and she was awesome!!! We learned a little more about the area, the restaurants and of course the food. The food was great and abundant. Make sure you come hungry because you will eat a lot. I would definitely recommend Savor Saint Louis Food Tours and will be going back to try there other tours. Thanks Steve C.

If I were rating this place strictly on food, I would only give it two stars. However, the…read moreambience, location, and friendly staff raise it up a notch. The outside area by the rock walls was very pretty and the entire setting was nice. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. This is especially true since we were a large party. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the rest of the place. I ordered stuffed pork loin. The food was delivered fast. Probably too fast. I don't know how they could have prepared fresh food for so many in such short time. To me that indicates a lot of microwave use, but I could be wrong. My dinner came with a few thin slices of pork loin, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit. No salad. The portion size was ample. It was enough to fill me up, but no so much that I had to take home leftovers. I found the pork to be very dry and tasteless. The mashed potatoes were unremarkable and had very little garlic flavor. The biscuit was nothing to brag about. The one bright spot was the green beans. Some people thought they were overcooked, but I enjoyed them. My wife order Tilapia. They were very accommodating and let her substitute garlic mashed potatoes for the rice. She agrees with my comments on the beans and potatoes. She describes the tilapia as limp, slightly watery (although supposedly baked), barely warm, had a nice spice to it, but the fish had a rather fishy taste. Tilapia is supposed to be mild. It gave her the impression of being prepared earlier and had been sitting on a steam table for awhile. Definitely not cooked in the short period between our order and the time it was served. The other reviewers really liked the food. Maybe we went on the cooks night off, or maybe because we had a large group, they prepared a lot of food in advance. I may give it a try sometime when I'm in the area without being with a large group and then maybe I will have the experience of the other reviewers.

I took the 6:00 PM, two-hour history tour on 20th June this year and had such a fascinating…read moreexperience. I feel lucky to have had Michael Lear as our guide, he was absolutely brilliant and was a stellar storyteller! The prison itself is very interesting, has alot of history behind it and honestly a little chilling. Hearing about its dark history really makes you stop, think about life and human existence. The parts about solitary confinement and how tiny the cells were with several people stuffed in were especially shocking. Michael even took us down to the basement solitary area and turned off the lights for a full minute so we could feel what it was like. That part gave me chills. We also got to see the prison cells from the 1800s all the way up to more recent ones, and even the gas chamber. It was intense but very eye-opening. I highly recommend this tour 1000%! And if you are lucky enough to have Michael as your guide, you're in for something fascinating. He also has a Missouri murder history podcast which is definitely worth checking out and supporting - It is called Show Me Murder. To conclude, thanks MSP for such an unforgettable experience!

The overnight paranormal investigation at the Missouri State Penitentiary was even cooler than it…read moresounds and honestly felt like a once in a lifetime experience. I was lucky enough to do the full eight hour overnight investigation, which means about 40 to 50 people with near free rein over three massive prison buildings in the middle of the night. Most of the time was spent breaking into small groups and exploring the grounds looking for paranormal activity, and for me that meant just me and one friend wandering dark cell blocks and corridors that felt completely abandoned. This is absolutely not for the faint of heart because there are long stretches where you truly feel alone, surrounded by silence, shadows, and your own racing thoughts. There were plenty of spine chills, more than a few moments where I questioned my life choices, and by the end of the night I walked out a full believer. It was intense, unforgettable, and easily one of the most fascinating and highly recommended adventures I have ever done.

I booked a room about a week in advance. Was quoted a price plus a pet fee. I agreed and booked the…read moreroom. Upon arrival, the pet was a lot more than I was quoted on the phone. A total bait and switch. Instead, stay next door at the Drury. Pet fee the same but you get free breakfast, free drinks and food in the afternoon. It's literally across the street and a very nice hotel.

I stayed here for a conference and it was decent for hotel standards these days…read more Attendant that checked me in was very accommodating as I asked for a room with a bathtub and also to be away from noise. I walked in right when tons of school-age kids were gathering and looked like they might have been in town for a game and all staying at the hotel. I have no issues with this. I just would like to not be disturbed as I am a light sleeper. The attendant put me on the 6th floor, down the hall, and it was quiet. I appreciated that! Thank you! Parking lot gets full but plenty of space to park. Their dining finished at 9pm, and that's exactly the time I arrived, so no dinner on site for me. I asked attendant about food close by and he gave me a sheet where places were listed to try. There is an indoor swimming pool and gym on the 1st floor. I was able to use the gym in the morning, tons of equipment, and pretty empty. Room was clean, bathtub as requested. In room Keurig machine. Building is a little tired looking and could use a face-lift. The conference was also in the hotel, and it served our needs just fine. Interesting button for elevator as only one direction, but it did work. Overall, an A OK experience, but appreciated the kind and helpful staff here.

Went to dinner with another couple at HK restaurant. Started off with the oyster mushrooms and…read morepotsticker appetizers. The oyster mushrooms were fantastic. They were fried crispy. The sauce had lots of flavor very good. The potstickers also or very flavorful with a great soy sauce and sweet-and-sour glaze on top. I got the pork chop on a basil risotto as well as my buddy got the same. Our chops were great. The risotto was just kind of plane nothing to ride home about. My wife got the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes. She loved the chicken the same for the mashed potatoes just kind of plain. The final person at our table got the shrimp Cajun pasta and she loved it. The reason for four stars is because the sides were just kind of plane. Our waiter Ethan was fantastic. He was quite the talker, and the suggestion on appetizers were spot on. I was kind of disappointed there was no dark beer selections on the menu. The restaurant sits overlooking a Japanese garden and the lake of the Ozarks the view is stunning. All in all the restaurant was quite good. Service was prompt. Had a very satisfying meal.

If you haven't been in a while, please head back and give it another try, you will not be disappointed. I had the pasta with steak last week, which was good but tonight a much better special - thick pork chop, smothered with mushrooms, onions, and peppers and a very nice sauce, very creative excellent meal. Kristen is an excellent bartender and we enjoyed having Brady as our server tonight. Great job team.
