The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care.

It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

A Rocky First Impression, but an Outstanding Dining Experience!…read more Tucked away in St. Louis' downtown corridor, this oyster bar is easy to overlook, but thankfully, the Yelp ratings and reviews did not lead us astray! Let me start with the menu. The hardest part was deciding what to order! The selection was impressive, and judging by our experience, there were no wrong choices. Our party of four started with gator tails and voodoo shrimp, accompanied by a fresh slaw. Both appetizers were excellent and set the stage for what turned out to be a fantastic meal. Our entrées included the Cajun sampler, grilled oysters, shrimp and grits, and the catfish platter. Every dish was met with enthusiasm, and everyone left thoroughly satisfied. Without cocktails, our two appetizers and four entrées, including a generous tip, came to approximately $200. Worth every penny! A special acknowledgment goes to our server, Jordan, who was bright, attentive, efficient, and especially helpful when it came time to navigate all those tempting menu choices. The kitchen clearly knows what it is doing, and the quality of the food and service made this a memorable dining experience. Now, about that first impression... Unfortunately, our arrival was the one disappointing part of the evening. The young lady greeting guests at the door wore a mask, but it did little to conceal what appeared to be a sneer at the inconvenience of greeting and seating us. With only two other tables occupied during our early supper, we were escorted to a dimly lit corner of the restaurant, seemingly without consideration for the dining experience we might have preferred. We were four middle-aged professionals coming off a workday, looking forward to good food, conversation, and an opportunity to unwind. Thankfully, another member of the waitstaff immediately recognized the less-than-ideal seating arrangement and graciously offered us a table in a brighter, more inviting area. That was our second first impression, and everything improved from there! From the attentive service to the exceptional food, the chef and waitstaff delivered an experience that more than made up for our initial disappointment. My only suggestion to management is to remember that hospitality begins at the door. The greeting sets the tone, and the welcome should reflect the same care and attention that clearly goes into the food and table service. Despite the rocky start, we left impressed, satisfied, and glad we trusted the reviews. This is absolutely a place worth discovering in downtown St. Louis!

We finally decided to check this place out after talking about it for quite a while, and it was the…read moreperfect choice for my wife's birthday. We came for the Sunday Jazz Brunch, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was fantastic, the bottomless mimosas kept flowing, and the beignets were absolutely delicious. I ordered the Pork Chop Slinger, and finding out the pork chop came from Schubert's in Millstadt, IL was an unexpected bonus that made the meal even better. Our server was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The rest of the staff was just as welcoming and helpful. I also can't say enough about the jazz band. The music selection was excellent and created the perfect brunch atmosphere. If you're looking for a great brunch with amazing food, outstanding service, and live music, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

The music was nice but not what I would consider jazz. The food was fine but not that rich spicy Cajun flavor that we were hoping for. The jambalaya was bland unfortunately. The shrimp skewers were probably the best thing we ordered. I did enjoy them and they actually had nice seasoning. The cheese grits were good the first couple of bites but could have used more salt and seasoning as well. Service was just ok as well. We were one of three tables filled in the entire place. I really think Evangeline's has potential but I wouldn't recommend it on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and they could use more Cajun seasoning on their Cajun dishes.

The place is kind of dark and that's fine by me. Obviously it can also be loud with the music so so expect that, it's not the best place for a business meeting at 7pm Someone else commented it wasn't very full at 5pm, and that's completely expected at any restaurant on a weekday, as that's when they dined. Many people aren't even home until after 5pm, only the retired are eating around that time. I do recommend the pork steak as their top dish. It's a good deal, everyone in my family says it's the best thing there, and the cream corn souffle is the best side we think. One thing I would recommend as many don't think about this is maybe tip your server above 20 percent if you sit for a few hours enjoying music. Normally they would make an entire second tables tip as most diners are in and out in 90 minutes or even less. So if you are there all night maybe tip extra, especially if they are really good to you for those few hours or so The beer selection is also amazing, especially their local brews. Someone else said they had an amazing Pinot noir and I do agree. Give them a try, especially if your local to Webster, it's a real gem and I bet you'll be back whenever you want bbq.

It's the rare occasion when I get to visit a restaurant that was featured on the TV show "Diners,…read moreDrive-ins and Dives," and it's a true privilege. I don't take it lightly. I spent a lot of time preparing. My mom even made me a special outfit. Remember, in the movie Goodfellas, when Joe Pesci thought he was about to become a made guy? It was kind of like that. Fortunately, I wasn't led into an empty room where I was promptly shot in the back of the head. (Whew!) I was conscious of the potential for violence at Hwy 61 Roadhouse, because its name--and the overall vibe--calls to mind the classic Patrick Swayze movie from the 1980s, which was in fact set in Missouri. I was ready to punch my way out of there, if necessary. The crowd here skews older, and it occurred to me that I may have been able to take out quite a few of them on my own. There was live music, and the band called to mind something you might see in a circa-'97 Christopher Guest movie, or Marty and Bobbi Culp. It gets loud, to the point where you can't hear what the person across the table from you is saying. You might consider bringing a date here, if you'd prefer not having a conversation. A guy from my running group loves this place and spoke highly of the BBQ Spaghetti. Normally, I wouldn't eat anything like that, but this guy seems like he might know ball when it comes to delicious restaurant meals, if you catch my drift. Turns out, he wasn't wrong. It wasn't just good, this might be the way to eat pulled pork. I'd make it at home, except that store-bought barbecue sauce is disgustingly sweet and processed-tasting, and it wouldn't be worth trying to make my own. I toyed with the idea of getting a burger, which is a safe go-to in restaurants in areas where the spice level is often inquired about, but I've eaten so many of them lately. Then I saw that they carry a Shrimp Po Boy. It seemed like the perfect choice. Shrimp Po Boys are never not good, even the one they used to carry at Popeyes during Lent back in the pre-chicken sandwich era, and this place supposedly specializes in Cajun food. It didn't disappoint... for the most part. It was a bit bread-forward for my liking. Some places hollow out the bread a little bit, to make room for the fillings. Hwy 61 doesn't, and they use a weirdly large roll. I love bread, so this wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there was nothing particularly special about this bread. They load you up on shrimp, which are fried hard, like chicken wings from a hood Chinese place. It makes for a satisfying crunch. The lettuce and tomatoes provided a fresh, healthy-seeming contrast, and the remoulade is just spicy enough to keep things interesting. I'm definitely curious to try some of the other menu items, including some of the more authentic Cajun selections--the etouffees, gumbos and what have you. If only I could get them to bring me a sampling of everything, "on the arm." I'd show up in backwards sunglasses and tell them I'm there filming a TV show, but alas, they've already been featured on a TV show, and I wouldn't want to run the risk of having to actually fight someone.

The waitresses were fast, came right over with menus and took our order quickly, and the food came out fast too. We were a party of two and shared two combos, but I noticed other tables ordering one combo per person which works too depending on how hungry you are. The snow crab was so juicy and the mussels were super fresh. We got the mixed seasoning with no spice, and the potatoes were sooo good to balance out. The corn was amazing, and the shrimp was enormous and so juicy, I'm not sure how they got it that good. The sauce leans pretty salty, and I ended up drinking like three cups of water, but eating it with the potatos balances it out. Price point felt fair and I left stuffed!! Would definitely come back.

As someone who doesn't get the opportunity to have shrimp and grits very often, it's something I always look forward to ordering when I find it on a menu. We were actually debating whether or not to get it when someone else in line recommended it and told us how delicious it was. I'm glad we listened! The grits were creamy and had a lot of Cajun seasoning, which I thought worked really well. They weren't quite as cheesy as I personally would have liked, but the flavor was still delicious, with just a little bit of smokiness. I also appreciated that despite all the seasoning, the dish wasn't too spicy for me. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the overall texture of the dish was spot on. We paired the shrimp and grits with a grilled cheese flight from Steve's Meltdown, another vendor at The Foundry, and the two ended up going surprisingly well together. This wasn't quite the best shrimp and grits I've ever had, but I'd easily put it at number two, which is still pretty high praise. If you're at The Foundry and craving shrimp and grits, Four Hens Creole Kitchen is definitely worth a try.

I was greeted immediately upon entry and was seated in a booth near the kitchen. I was a bit disappointed that there were no games on and it was only a fish display on the TVs but oh well. They were still serving brunch at the time and everything was looking good, but I decided to order from the regular menu. I got a peach mimosa and the shrimp your way (I chose to have mine charbroiled) and got sautéed green beans and yellow rice for my sides. I got the mimosa first and it was outstanding. It was crisp but not overly sweet and had the perfect alcohol ratio. Shortly after my food came and it didn't disappoint. First of all, I couldn't believe the amount of shrimp I got (by no means am I complaining). Everything was perfectly charbroiled and had the right amount of seasoning. The green beans were delicious and the cornbread muffin was probably my favorite. I enjoyed my visit and found both the staff and service to be excellent. The food was incredible as well.
