    Going to Gary's warms my heart every time - this is a true St. Louis business. The staff are awesome. Gary is always dressed to the nines. There is thought put into all they do - including having colors that match the holiday that is close by on the tables. The food also tastes great and comes out in a timely fashion. I highly recommend stoping by here for dinner next time you go to the Fox or Symphony!

    Complimentary cheesecake
    Susan D.

    Our group of 6 had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Server brought water and we placed our orders. From here, it goes downhill. Meals came out at different times, my Cesar salad with chicken was last; took over an hour and everyone else at our table was already finished eating. Sprinkled with paprika, it looked pretty. Lettuce was fresh, but croutons were like little brown rocks. It was dressed in a vinaigrette that tasted more like vinegar than anything else instead of a creamy Cesar dressing. The chicken amounted to a couple of tablespoons of cubed chicken. One of our group said the liver and onions was terrible, very tough, and another that the fish and fries was barely warm. The complimentary cheesecake was good, but didn't compensate for the meal. Perhaps it was just an off night. But, when I observed a server carrying a full pitcher of water with his thumb on the inside of the pitcher, that clinched it for me. Sorry, I won't be back.

    Double burger
    Zach D.

    I have never been to Gary's Fine Dining before, so I had no idea what to expect. And boy, let me tell you, what I got was not what I was expecting! First off I got to meet Gary (the man himself) and his beautiful wife at the door. They are the sweetest couple, and just make you feel like family. Maurice, the bartender, now that man can make a drink. If I'm not familiar with a bartender, I always test their skill by ordering a dirty vodka, martini straight up. Let me tell you, that martini was so smooth, it went down so easily that I had to order another one. When I looked at the menu, I wasn't blown away by it, but when I saw somebody else order the burger, I knew I had to have one. The couple sitting at the bar next to me, were on their way to a show and needed their food fast. The kitchen pulled out all the stops, and I swear that man got his burger in two minutes flat! Now, let's talk about the cherry on top of it all, the live band. When I tell you that this band had my jaw on the floor at the very first note they sang, I am not exaggerating. The band was called G-Spot, and that is exactly what they hit! I was cheering and hooping and hollering for them on every song. Now I don't remember the name of every person who was sing, but let me tell you they ALL had me falling out of my seat. Saman Swanson though, she was hitting high Cs like she was Mariah Carey! All in all I went in not knowing what to expect, and really only anticipating having a drink and then leaving. I ended by having at least five drinks, dinner, and left, feeling like family. To Gary and his lovely wife: you guys have a real gem here, keep up the good work!

    Large slice of chocolate cake. Rich but good

    My friend wanted to try this place before we went to a performance at Fox so I indulged her. Fine dining is a stretch. 2 things that stand out about this business: very friendly staff and the lovely slice of chocolate cake that they seem to give everyone at meals end. My salmon was just okay but the broccoli served with it was way overcooked. My friend got salmon salad and said it was okay. They don't have a wine menu so the waiter had to tell us what varietals they served. Usually fine dining implies a wine list! Evidently they have music on some nights so that may be a good thing to enjoy there.

    During a weekend trip to St. Louis, we stumbled upon this restaurant and were lured in by the sandwich board advertising 2 entrees (with drink and dessert) for $20. The attractive pricing even included tax, so our final bill was an even $20. The atmosphere is charming, and our server was a dear. This place will remain in my mind forever because the double burger was literally the largest burger I have ever consumed. Yes, it's messy, but it was so delicious, as were the crispy fries. As an ardent fan of burgers, I seriously loved this lunch. My meal ended with a slice of heavenly cheesecake that I would probably indulge in too often if I lived there! Worth noting is that they were open in the past, then took a hiatus and have been open again for around a year now, according to our server.

It had waffle fries, hamburger, lettuce, tomato's, jalapeños, guacamole and sour cream. The fries were cooked perfectly, the hamburger had the crunchy edges even though it was crumble pieces. The cheese sauce was creamy but a little thick for my liking. For $10.00 they loaded the to-go box down.

I recently stopped by after an appointment in STL. It was right at lunch time and it was also, opening day for the Cardinals. So when I entered, the line to order was already long. To my surprise, the one lady taking orders, moved that line quickly. So I give her major kudos. When it was turn to order, I was ready. I went with a Double and swapped out the American Cheese for Pepper Jack. For my side, I tried their Salt&Pepper Onion Rings. After ordering, I took my number stick and took a seat at the bar. Once seated, the bartender welcomed me and I ordered a draft beer. I barely had completed my Wordle and my burger basket was being slid in front of me. Before taking my first bite, I admired the crisp edges and actually ran my finger around them. My first bite was heaven. It proved to me that all a good smash burger needs is; ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles. The Onion Rings were made in house and the simple seasoning of Salt & Pepper made them a winner. While dining at the bar, I learned a new trick. If you're going to be sitting at the bar to enjoy your smash burger, you can order it from the bartender. That's right, no standing in line to order, you can go straight to the bar. Great staff. They all hustle and provide friendly and professional service.

They had a great crunch, but the onion on the inside was very thin. Plus a $2 up charge for 4 onion rings was a bit much, I thought. I wanted an entree they ran out of, so I could have just been tainted by that. Nothing was bad by any means! Dessert was good. We opted for cookies for easy sharing, and we liked them! Get the cookie dough ice cream with them. It was loaded with cookie dough. I'm excited to try them again, and hopefully get the entree I wanted! They also have a pretty good happy hour it seems.

After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot.

Prince would have given it a thumbs up. After some intense conversations with my buds, I ordered some food and a beer. I typically get their famous burger with fries or the chicken wings, but I got adventurous and ordered the nachos. When I asked the bartender how they were, he said that's what he was having for dinner and showed me his plate which sold me. It may have only been an appetizer, but it was filling and easy to eat while enjoying more convo. I'm a fan of Avery Brewing in Colorado, so I had their White Rascal as my beer. Rockwell is so close to getting a 5 Star rating from me, but they keep missing the mark on the customer service. It's good, but some of the staff treat older customers differently then those their age. This visit, one of them was cold and had attitude. After a few tips, they warmed up and provided friendly service and actually got chatty. So I think next time, they may just get the bump to 5.

It's a single patty, with Pepper Jack Cheese, Tomato-Onion-Jalapeno Relish, Drizzled with a Tangy Fire Ranch and served on a Martin's Potato Roll. The burger was juicy and had those crispy edges that a smash burger is known for. My favorite cheese is Pepper Jack, so that was a big plus for me. The relish added that extra kick that made it a true, Firecracker. I can't enjoy a burger without fries and Jack offers long skinny fries. They had a crispy shell and a soft hot inside. They were simply seasoned with just the right amount of salt. I was impressed that the ketchup was 100% Natural. That gets a big thumbs up.
