We came here for the halloween popup, nightmare on 12 street. They don't take reservations for the popup and we came on a Friday at 630pm so we expected it to be busy... which it was. We were able to snag a spot at the bar after not too long of a wait and order drinks while we waited for our table. The wait was about 1.5 hours (again this was to be expected, the place was packed). Our bar service was sub par. I don't think there was any rhyme or reason to who she served next so we ended up waiting longer than others and she seemed frustrated when me and my 2 friends all wanted to start our own tabs. When we got to our table, that server was great! She was extremely busy and running around but made time to make sure we had everything we needed and were having a good experience. The atmosphere was obviously decorated with spooky halloween stuff, but you can tell it's a cool restaurant/bar even when not decorated. Old wood, dark mood, and I loved that the menus were in record covers. We got 2 drinks from their halloween menu and they were fun, festive, and tasted soooo yummy. I got the prepare to chai and the stay puffed. We also got their spooky dip, a queso made red. Honestly it wasn't great and I wouldn't get it again. For a meal, I got the grilled cheese and it was so good. My friend got the pretzels and taco salad and she enjoyed both. The regular food menu had so many items I wanted to try so I will definitely be back to enjoy the restaurant after halloween! read more

They had this place decorated for Halloween when I went. Inside is kind of a tight squeeze but there is also a decent sized patio outside. I had the pork poutine appetizer and a couple Halloween drinks. A Brain Hemorrhage shot and Swamp Thing drink. The food service was great and friendly. A long wait at the bar for drinks. read more

Eat Crow - Bars Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Eat Crow is becoming one of my favorite restaurant + dives in Soulard. They always have room on the patio, they have some of the best service I've ever experienced at a Soulard dive, and most importantly, they have plenty of options for both the vegetarian (me) and my meat loving companions. You can get the veggie Patty (which is delicious) in any of their varied burger styles. I'm also partial to the waffle fries both with and without the vegan chili. I have yet to try one of their Mac and cheese options but I'll be back to do so! read more

One Star is Generous - Eat Crow Needs to Eat Some Humble Pie! We stopped by Eat Crow on S. 12th in St. Louis, and it was an absolute circus from the moment we stepped in. The restaurant was in full-on chaos mode--not because they were packed with hungry guests, but because the staff was too busy playing TikTok chef with "free pancake art" to notice anyone walking through the door. No host, no direction, no acknowledgement. Customers were left to fend for themselves in a confusing, self-seating free-for-all while staff hovered over a griddle filming syrup smiley faces for social media. We sat ourselves at 1:31 PM and were completely ignored until 1:40 PM. When someone finally decided to acknowledge our existence, it was as if we'd disrupted a dress rehearsal for a bad cooking show. The menu we were given bore no resemblance to the one online--no mention of that anywhere, of course. We were told the actual full menu wouldn't be available until 2:00 PM. No signage, no heads-up. Just a "deal with it" vibe. We tried to compromise--adults in the group were willing to settle for the unwanted brunch item, but our teenagers were specifically excited for the specialty mac and cheese that this place apparently brags about online. I asked at 1:41 PM--a whopping 19 minutes before their sacred full menu time--if they could make an exception for just one item. Without hesitation, and with a well-rehearsed fake-apologetic smirk, the waiter hit us with a hard no. Not even a "let me check with the kitchen." Not even a hint of flexibility or customer care. Just a robotic "no," as if the kitchen would implode for daring to boil noodles before 2:00. At that point, we decided to walk out. The server looked shocked--as if expecting us to be grateful for the privilege of being treated like an inconvenience. We ended up just a few blocks up at a tried-and-true Irish pub, where we were warmly welcomed, ordered exactly what we wanted, and racked up a $250 tab with a $100 tip to a fantastic waitress who actually understood hospitality. We won't be going back to Eat Crow. The name might be clever, but the attitude, service, and disorganized chaos are a joke--and not a funny one. PSA to Others Considering a Visit: Don't take just my word for it--scan the reviews online and you'll see a pattern: * "Disorganized mess." * "All flash and no hospitality." * "Style over substance." * "Unaccommodating staff with zero customer focus." It's the same story, over and over. The only consistency here is how consistently disappointing the experience is. Eat Crow? No thanks. We'd rather eat anywhere else. read more

Breakfast burrito was slammin. New Chelsea is kind of hot but in a "I'll kill you kind for way." One girl kept sneezing I think she needs some Zyrtec. 10/10 experience read more

We arrived at about 5:30 pm on a Wednesday and it is pretty empty so we seat ourselves. The menus are pretty cool. I didn't get a picture, but the covers are decorated with vinyl record covers. The happy hour ends at 6, so we were able to get $3 off the hummus and discounts on the drinks, too. The hummus was filling, and the toppings were delicious, but there wasn't enough oil in the hummus, in my opinion, which I think would have helped me enjoy it more. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Brussel Sprouts and was very satisfied with my order. The hot honey sauce mixed with the gorgonzola cheese is a combination I love. The chicken breading was crispy, and the bacon added even more crispiness. The chicken was cooked well too. The brussel sprouts were cooked to be a little harder than I expected, but I enjoyed them just as much. They were served with something that looked like brown mustard seeds and way too much oil. Unfortunately, the oil took over the whole plate, and I had to move my sandwich so it wouldn't get soggy. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

Ordered the hot chicken Mac n cheese. I'm hooked on it. Drinks had crafty names and were just as good as their names. Service was excellent (went mid week). In short, I highly recommend this place. read more

This place was sooooo cool literally a hidden gem in Soulard ( South of downtown Stl ) First off they were the only ones open on Christmas Eve was a str8 blessing. Me and my friends tried to find a good place and we found Eat Crow!!!! Soon as we walked in bartender was extremely cool and invited us to sit anywhere! We found a spot on the far right to the bar and it was a cool spot to see the entire bar from. The menus were made out of music vinyls blew me away!! Then the drink and food names was even cooler omg it's better and better so the bartender which is the server too was soooo down to earth I told him to make me a surprise drink. He made me the best expresso martini I ever had. I also tried to the honey hot and buffalo wings with waffles fries so yummy!! Now this is my fav spot to go too when I want some good amazing customer service and good drinks!!! Literally my bartender checked on us prob like 100x best customer service ever please give him and his other bartender a raise!! We love them!! ‍‍ read more

Regularly stay in the Soulard community when I travel on business to St Louis. Had been intending to visit Eat Crow for some time, and finally had my chance Sunday. Coming in you enter a large horseshoe bar area with tables on the sides. Decided to sit at the bar. I was with my business partner, and we were hungry. I order a nut brown ale; my partner doesn't drink. We order the mini taco appetizer which was supposed to be filled with chicken. What we got was something out of the frozen appetizer isle at the market. They weren't filled with chicken, but with refried beans. And, as you can guess, they sucked. My bear was cold .. Win I ordered the cheeseburger, medium rare, with a side salad and fries. Got a well done burger, salad and no fries. Also sucked. My partner ordered the salmon sandwich with a ceaser salad. He said it was great. At least one win ... Go to drink, not eat. The bartender was entertaining, so service was ok. If this was up to me and my food, I'd say yuck to this place, but with my partner enjoying his sandwich I'll go with 3 stars. Eat Crow, your lucky my partner liked that salmon! read more

Oh my gosh. What a fun place. So cool. The staff are really authentically nice chill people. The food and drinks are so hilariously named and fun to order. Hip festive and cool grunge vibe. read more

Love this new spot in Soulard and it's just one block from McGurks! We tried a couple of the Smash Burgers, Mac n Cheese, Waffle Fries, and you have to get the Cheese Curds! Everything was great! I loved that the pasta noodles for the Mac weren't mushy at all... perfect texture! I'll definitely be back for more of everything! The feel is a little metal mixed with positive vibes only from the friendly staff... and the genuine & caring owners! Welcome to Soulard, Eat Crow! We're all excited you're here! read more

Great food, festive drinks, wonderful service and a cool vibe. Went for the Halloween pop up with friends. Definitely recommend.

Service was awesome! Sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender while I waited for lunch. Huge portions, super tasty sandwich and got to watch the original Ghostbusters while checking out the cool decorations. Easy recommendation! read more

Four of us for a late lunch. Started off with sharing bbq wings. Then, We each got something different for a meal. Very Good food. Unique play on typical bar food. Large portions to share. very nice patio. service slow but it was a holiday and they seemed short on help. Server very friendly and helpful. will definitely be back. Street parking with no problem. read more

Loved the Eat Crow tonight. The atmosphere and food were both just what we needed. We are just visiting, but if I lived here, I'd definitely be a regular. read more

Decided to try out this little bar out in Soulard while out with the missus. Imagine my surprise when I saw the album cover for miss Lotte Lenya sitting at my chair, otherwise known as my sweet Austrian crush (don't tell my wife!) I've always said I know enough German to ruin the language, but "Ich liebe Lotte Lenya!" Turns out, that was the lunch menu!The food came out fast, thanks to our lovely bartender Mikey. I had a Frisco melt and a side of Brussels sprouts. I'd keep eating those sprouts forever, but I know that my body just would not keep up with my love for them! Will come again! As an added bonus, the bar top is decorated with fun ticket stubs of bands that I like. They had bands like ZZ Top (pictured above), Van Halen, and Neil Young (one of my favorites!) Such a fun time with good food and drink! Thank the heavens for having me stumble across this absolute gem! read more

Love it! Ordered the grilled cheese, pretzels, and Philly cheesesteak! That Gouda sauce they use in the Mac and cheese, and on the Philly, should be illegal it's so damn good. Service was great. Food was so hot that I had to wait to eat it, which is a positive in my opinion! Can't wait to come back! read more

I came here for brunch, and holy cow was it good. My friend suggested the chicken and waffles, and it did not disappoint. 15/10. The drinks were really great as well. Service was quick and the food came out fast. There weren't many people present, but there was plenty of space for more patrons. I would definitely come back sometime. read more

I'm sure its been mentioned, but Eat Crow is the sister restaurant of Crows Nest in Maplewood. I've always been a big fan of their metal brunch, and thus was super excited to check out their new spot in Soulard! We went in for a late metal brunch on a Sunday. The space is super cute. A bit nicer looking than Crows Nest, but it definitely keeps a similar laid back vibe. The staff is all super awesome, friendly and attentive. What was disappointing to me, is the menu is at least ALMOST identical to that at crows nest if not 100% the same. Was hoping to see a different menu. The food is still good, and we will definitely go back. read more

Good food, great service! We ate dinner there twice while staying at an airbnb in the neighborhood.

Eat Crow (formerly The Crow Bar - associated with Crows Nest Maplewood, not Crow Bar - Woodson) just opened on 12th St in Soulard in the former home of Nadine's Gin Joint (1.5 blocks N of McGurks).they did a great job remodeling the. Restaurant and patio. Mostly tasty casual American food and their famous heavy metal brunch. I can't wait to try brunch at this location! It's not available yet. BIG patio. Recommend!!. read more

I ate here yesterday and it was fire. Glad I came I shared with my friend black n blue Mac n cheese, Philly steak, and wings. They were all good, the Philly steak was my favorite. Sorry I don't have pics read more

We went for Halloween and it was amazing!! The decor was really really cool as well as the overall ambiance was nice. All the bartenders were super nice and helpful. We didn't get any food but the next time we go we will be. read more

Food was not as good as we were told. Would not suggest this place unless you're a biker type. Service was average. Ambiance was typical soulard bar. read more

Amazing food and staff with a very unique decor. Try the burger or the salmon blt. This place deserves more attention!

Nice new place in Soulard. The food is delicious, place was clean, had a good vibe, service was good without being annoying. Good pours on drinks. They had Princess Bride playing! Loved it. We both had the Baracus smash burgers with brussel sprouts. *chefs kiss*. To the one reviewer who complained the burgers were smashed, it clearly states that on the menu. That's how smash burgers come out and taste. To complain about it and give a bad review because you don't like that style of burger, makes you look stupid. read more

We went for burgers, which were excellent. The service was great, and we loved the outdoor patio space. Between two ivy-covered historic buildings, so very picturesque. Inside is the quintessential neighborhood bar vibe. read more

Service was great! They make an excellent grill cheese and the chili had just enough heat for my taste. Red brick interior is cozy and welcoming. read more

We've been here several times and tried different things, every meal has been delicious. We love coming for brunch, and catching the pancake artist! There's always a fun nostalgic 80s movie playing.

Awesome local dive bar. Smash urgers exceptional. Burger HoF w Side of chile. Bartenders unassuming and helpful.

Had a great brunch here with some friends! Lots of quality food to go with the fun metal theme of the restaurant. Very interesting and tasty drink selection too! read more

I'm guessing we just got unlucky with our experience. We sat out on the patio and it was fairly busy but our waiter was nowhere to be found most of the time and he must've forgot to put in our order or something, we ended up just walking out after 1.5 wait for nothing. Didn't get a chance to try their food or their interestingly named cocktails but hopefully you have better luck. read more

Good food, good service. Renovation looks good as well. I've been there twice since they open and have enjoyed there smash burgers.

Came here for a chill date night and it fit the criteria perfectly! We risked sitting on the patio in late June and so happy we did! They played light music and kept the patio cool. The bartenders doubled as outdoor servers, but they continuously checked on us. Although they seemed to be running around, they were all in a friendly/helpful mood! We got the pork poutine appetizer which was more than delicious. I got the hot chicken Mac which was way more food than I could handle but was also incredibly delicious (made for great leftovers). My boyfriend got a burger which was gone before I even got to ask how it was so must've been a-okay! read more

The food here was great! It's a good location down in Soulard...we walked down from McGurks to grab and bite at this new spot. It was a bit off putting for me, because despite me having a wide-range of musical genres that I love...hard rock, isn't really one of them for me. The bar is a heavy metal, rock bar...based upon the music and the décor around the place. However, the food was good...and they have a great looking patio in the back when it's warm out. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the B.A. Baracus (burger) with waffle fries. They came out hot and fresh...even the ciabatta bread on the chicken sandwich was nice and soft! I'd recommend this place if you're hungry down in Soulard and want to try a new spot, but if Rock music isn't your jam...you've been warned :) read more
