    Located in Platypus, it's a hidden gem for delicious brussel sprouts! However the special 1lb chicken wings and fries was not a hit at my table. The chicken lacked flavor while the fries were over-seasoned. The special came with two containers of sauce and not even more sauce would have made the chicken better.

    Located inside of Platypus. Ordered a basket of Brussels and popcorn chicken. Staff was super. Prices seemed fair. Moved over to watch live Jazz. Overall tasty bites. I would return. 3.5 rounding up with great service.

    Amazing Bar food!!! How great that they housed right next to Platypus and you only have to walk to the next room to order food or ear inside there with your cocktail. The fiance loves pinball and plays pinball while he waits for our food. The food is made to order, so ALWAYS arrives hot-n-fresh from the window. When you place your order they give you a buzzer to notify you once your food is ready. We've tried EVERYTHING except the cauliflower. The Brussel sprouts and fried Tofu are absolutely AMAZING!!! The Tofu is served over white bread to absorb the excess oil from frying with your choice of dipping sauces to accompany. The sauces are homemade and add that extra touch, even though the Tofu is extremely creamy and light on the inside with that crisp, seasoned outer. The Brussels sprouts are heaven in your mouth, perfectly seasoned and mouth wateringly delicious. The fried chicken bites and french fries are zesty, well seasoned and portioned nicely with various dipping sauces. The ranch is always a go to as well as the mustard and Asian sauce. Absolutely affordable and generous portions that hit the spot. Service is quick and fast. Definitely recommend.

    DuckBill, you made our Saturday night complete 100%! After a wedding and talking too much to fully fill my stomach, I needed to get a delicious meal to satisfy my cravings. It doesn't matter where you're located in stl and want some late night eats. DuckBill is the move! We arrived around 11, and made our way through Platypus. We ordered our chicken and had the opportunity to choose from the large amount of sauce choices. The bouncer suggested the sweet chili, so that's what we did. We also got a side of ranch, because it's ranch. There's a decent amount of seating and had no issue finding somewhere to sit. The food came out within 10 minutes. This chicken is probably some of the best I've had. It's amazing quality, the batter is so fresh but not too heavy on the chicken. I don't know what they put in this for seasoning but it was literally incredible. Nice and crispy. The fries were fantastic. The seasoning was perfect, not too salty. It's so awesome to be able to walk right next door into Platypus and grab a drink after. It was my first time eating here and definitely won't be my last.

    The chef (who I also believe is the owner) killed it with the cuisine! The catchy names for the combined bar and restaurant were super cool with a unique three room vibe. One area is the bar, then the game room with seating and finally some extra tables for when it gets crowded. Literally the wife and myself only had one complaint - having to pay for drinks at the bar and then pay for food at the register...I understand the "why" but still a nuisance and wish there was an easier way.

    Amazing food. Perfectly seasoned, especially the fries. I would probably come back for an order of fries. I liked the ranch over the sweet chilli sauce but both were still good.

    I am officially in the Eat Duckbill fan club! I had some of their food at an event, but this is the first time I tried it in-house! Eat Duckbill is located I guess *in*, but more attached to the bar Platypus in the Grove! Speaking of Platypus, they have very swanky cocktails. So, be sure to try one or get a mixed drink at the bar while you eat or wait for your food. I ordered pretty much the entire menu, minus the tofu, but the cook gave me a sample of the tofu so I had the entire menu. I LOVED LOVED the Brussel sprouts that are seasoned with agave and their in-house mustard. The roasted cauliflower, fires, and popcorn chicken were also good. They have a number of dipping sauces to choose from. Since I ate the entire menu, I was very much TIRED after eating. It definitely is great bar food and good for any drunken night I am sure as well!

    2nd time stopping through here with a few friends as we were hanging out around town. 5 of us in tow, we ordered 2 large popcorn chicken, 1 large Brussel and 1 large cauliflower. Sauce selections, Ranch, Buffalo and Agave Mustard. These snacks hit the spot! We shared everything and we ate it all. The cauliflower and Brussels are amazing and I wish I could get the same effect at home. Chicken is perfectly seasoned with a light breading. Mind you, the awesome cocktails from Platypus, which this place sits inside of, round out the experience of this visit as I washed down everything with a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned. This is a winner!

    Conveniently located it the back of Platypus. The chicken is tender, comes on garlic buttered toast and pickles on the side. Plenty of sauces to suit your preference. The brussels are tasty too. The staff is kind and the service is fast and simple ( they buzz you) To the first person to leave them a review, shame on you for starting a small business with 3 star and such a lazy review. Small businesses hate this app because of reviewers like you.

The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!

I opted for the bar. Later I did see other guests arrive that were not fancy either, so I felt better. You could be fancy and fit right in, though. Angela was my server at the bar and she was top notch! Giving me time to review the menu but also jumping in to answer questions. I wanted to try a drink and the cocktails look amazing so I will have to come back to try a couple, they had a list of Spirit Free and I went with the Stappi Spritz. It was bright and refreshing with a bit of bitter and I really enjoyed it. So many food options looked good, I took a bit to decide and then went with the Starter of Oeufs et Mayo and would go from there. When it arrived I felt it looked like a dish on a cooking competition show - it was so pretty. Angela indicated a great way to eat it was to get a scoop of everything and put it on the LF grilled bread and that is what I did! So very good! All the flavors went well together, the burst of salty goodness from the trout roe and the grilled bread, fantastic. Even with so many other Plates to try, I will have a hard time not ordering those jammy eggs again. Extras included Crispy Fingerling Potatoes fried with rosemary and served with romesco aioli, they were good and a large enough serving to share. The rosemary is definitely part of the dish but I ordered with the knowledge that I now like rosemary. I also wanted to try the Sage and Fennel Sausage, they were in patty form and the order came with 2 and they were large. It was decent, I wanted more sage and fennel for my taste. Angela set me up with go boxes so I could enjoy my meal again as leftovers! Great food, great service. Can't wait to go back again!

We had an upcoming night out, and wanted to get drinks. We figured we would finally take the plunge and just do both our meals and drinks at Frazer's. I love the neighborhood Frazer's is in. I like the general vibe of the restaurant. In the past we have had good experiences with the drinks. For us on this night the food experience fell very flat. It started with the cheese/tomato soup that I got with my burger. It was flavorless and tasted like water lightly infused with some tomato and cheese flavor. My medium burger was well done. Maybe even a step past well done, and was not edible. My wife's meal was good, but forgettable. The drinks were still good, but the poor food quality was a huge let down. The last part that dampened the mood was where we sat. They have a modest outdoor patio and then seating on the sidewalk along the front. We had put in a reservation for outdoor seating.

We came right on time and were sat immediately. The inside was lively and buzzing. Right after we were sat, our server came to introduce himself and take our drink order. To start, we each go a Caesar salad, we split an order of calamari, and I got the flower power to drink. I was warned before hand that the drink I chose would be an "experience" but that I should enjoy it. An experience would be an understatement. The salad was good and I loved the croutons, although they were a bit tough. The calamari was quite tasty and seasoned well. As for my drink, let's just say I was NOT prepared. The drink itself wasn't the problem but more so the buzz flower that accompanied it. You're supposed to eat the flower first and then drink. It comes with a glass of prosecco as a palate cleanser but I don't feel as though it did much. I'd say that flower kicked in within 15 minutes and ultimately, that's when things took a turn. At first it felt like pop rocks in my mouth and then I started to feel awful. While the chaos was going on, I managed to eat my blackened salmon, which was delicious. The slaw was so-so and I could have done without the beans and rice. All in all, we had a lovely visit aside from the drink. Our server was fantastic, the food was top notch, and I really enjoyed the ambiance.

    Can we do six stars? I have nothing but good things to say about The Drawing Board! The staff is…read morestellar and the food is AMAZING--especially that Medart Burger, a dish with a rich (and kinda greasy) Saint Louis history. Sidewinder Fries are spiral-cut wedges that come with just enough seasoning. The falafel pita is a great vegetarian choice... seriously, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There's always a nice selection of craft beers on tap for about $7/pour, as well as a smattering of AB products and other national brands in cans. Beer is wonderfully cold. The bar is well-stocked--especially with local spirits--and the bartenders here know their stuff, making drinks to order and advising what to try if you ask. I'm usually interested in trying a gin or bourbon I haven't had, and they're quick to make recommendations and talk about what's on the shelf. The Drawing Board has a nice-sized bar area with pool tables, darts, and chalkboards, as well as a cool patio. There's a small parking lot on the east (right side of the building), as well as ample street parking just west of the bar on Oak Hill. If you like pub trivia, drop by on a Thursday and test your knowledge and memory!

    This is a definition of a dive bar vibe but without the bar looking in rough shape. I didn't get to…read moretry the food (not hungry) but supposedly their burgers are fantastic according to my friend who was with me. It's on the smaller side, reminding me of places in my new home of SF, so anticipate seats/tables could fill up quickly. Parking is very limited, I got lucky to get a spot, so on a weekend evening I'd consider ride share otherwise you may be stuck parking blocks away. Beer was reasonably priced at $4-$5 for domestic. There was a group of people playing Magic The Gathering which was intriguing.
