    Had to take my turkey club to go! It was da bomb!
    Nasko L.

    Best Turkey Club sandwich ever! It was done and made to order in less than 5 minutes and it was delicious! Their homemade chips were the best ever, too! I may stop by again on my way home! Not very big as space but with plenty of tables and also plenty of high chairs by the bar area. Ample selection of beverages and their menu has everything for everyone. They prep and make a lot of the food themselves, not the frozen stuff you get everywhere. Stop by and decide for yourself and don't get bogged down by some petty complaints from petty people.

    Happened to stop in on fried chicken day, and, oh man, am I glad we did! It was deliciously light and crisp and the accompanying green beans were fresh and oh-so-tasty! The owners told us the story of rehabbing the place after they bought it - they definitely take pride in the cleanliness of the whole restaurant and the quality of the food!!

    Cobb salad with bacon on the side

    A random stop but so glad I got to experience Frumpy Joe's. -The beef steak was delicious and such a generous portion, topped with mushrooms and onions. Came with two sides which I also enjoyed. - Cobb Salad: You know me and my salads, had to get one as a side. But this portion was also very generous. Possibly shareable depending on your hunger level. They have a very large space, but we were one of 5 groups in there so felt amply spaced out in our booth. Chatted a bit with the waitress, such a nice lady. Hope we can come again soon.

    Rustic on the outside, delicious in the tummy!

    We took time to stop by for a late lunch on our cross country drive. We can tell these guys take pride in their housemate recipes. Breaded chicken items and sauces on the menu were delish. We took away some homemade desserts. Can't wait!

    See all

    Friendly service, made from scratch potato chips and dishes. It was a great early dinner stop between St. Louis and Columbia MO.

    Vintage Restaurant - French Onion soup

    Vintage Restaurant

    (141 reviews)

    My wife and I like to go on adventures. We recently went to Herman for my birthday. We decided to…read morego to this restaurant after visiting Stone Hill winery. The restaurant is just next door to the winery. The food is largely German inspired. This could make it a bit hit or miss with some patrons. We ended up getting appetizers, salads, and soup. The French onion soup was fantastic. The atmosphere is decent. It is an older structure that has been refurbished. I enjoyed it. I liked how it felt old. So overall it has a unique vibe and good food, although with a limited menu.

    This is a great little place that is attached to Stone Hill Winery. Probably one of the more…read morefamous Missouri wineries in the area. To start with... This place has an amazing ambiance! It is very romantic and extremely picturesque. Make sure you check my review on the Winery to see the rest of the photos. The service and the food. This place, though it isn't indicated anywhere, stopped seating after lunchtime and took a break between 2 pm and 4 pm. They weren't kicking diners out, but also wouldn't seat anyone till 4. This is a bit of a shock for those just trying to get a late lunch and missed the 2 pm deadline by a few minutes. There is no other close option for snacks or something of the like. And unfortunately, the attitude was very much of a... "well, sorry that you weren't prepared!" We almost didn't return, but we wanted a specific item off the menu. And to rate this place! (Just dropped my rating to 3 stars from 4 as I think of this. When we did return in time for dinner, the same person who didn't recognize us at all cheerfully greeted and seated us. The waitress was very good and knew her stuff. Even so far as to suggest a specific wine with my dinner when asked. The food - This is the main thing that lost a star. It was OK. I chose the German Trio, thinking of getting a little of everything. And, I did. However, when it says smaller portions (see menu picture), they mean it! There was a smallish brat, an incredibly small and overcooked piece of schnitzel (pictured), and lastly some overcooked pork with a sauce all over it. I believe they get away with serving this kind of food for several reasons. a.) The sauce is amazing! And yes, it is on lots of the food or on the side as you wish. b.) The winery has a trolley that runs to it. So many visitors are "trapped" till it returns, so a place to eat makes sense. Also, the place's main concern is wine. The average customer is at least lightly sauced and will view this as the best meal ever because they are going to remember the sauce! Those of you who typically read my reviews often times know that I give each venue the benefit of a doubt and will go eat at them a few times to ensure it wasn't just a fluke. But not this time. I found nothing extremely redeeming other than the convenience of eating right after drinking a bunch of wine. This place touts itself as one of the premier, old school, and fancy restaurants in Hermann. It is not. Pick one of the others and have a better meal.
