Big Bob Cod
Lauren S.

We went on a Tuesday night and were served quickly. The pricing was very reasonable, beers that we got were only $3-3.25 (summer shandy and blue moon). I had the Big Bob Cod with fries and slaw, and it was good. They do allow smoking, so we sat outside. Good, local, hole-in-the-wall vibes.

I have eaten there several times (lunch only) and each time the food was very good. I will be there on a regular basis. It is a dive bar but nice servers that are attentive and a clean place. I don't consider saying a dive bar a bad thing, they are my kind of places. Image is a lightly breaded pork chop with green beans and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. It was very good.

Bar area
Simone S.

This place is half a bar on one side with Karaoke and live bands (local singers) that sing/play once a month. On the other side there is a designated dinning area with 6 to 7 tables and a big screen TV and then another bar/sitting/waiting area. When we came there was a birthday party going on in the sitting/bar/waiting area, so there were tables with birthday cake etc... but this did not affect the dinning area. We had the steak and on a scale of 1 to 10 I will give it a solid 9. It is not up there with Ruth's Chris but its better than the steak at Outback. It comes with mushrooms and a twice baked potato. The steak flavor is very smokey and I want to say mesquite but not entirely sure. You could definitely taste the salt in the juices. It will not break the bank, the steak is in the $18-20 range. The overall experience was nice. The restaurant is a definite local and people from the neighbor good come here and know each other. There is memorabilia all around the walls and it is very lively. The main entrance will take you right into the bar. There is another door to the left of the main entrance door that has no sign or info but that door will take you in to the dinning area in the back. This place is not a smoke free place just a cautionary for those with kids, or Asthma.

Smoking allowed! Should have a sign on the door that says smoking allowed indoors. Might try again in the summer and sit on the patio.

This was one of my favorite places to go to in STL for vegan brunch. And it was easy to bring…read morenon-vegans because of their flex menu. I could get vegan eggs and vegan bacon, and my friends could get their chicken eggs and turkey bacon. My favorites here were the vegan milkshakes, pancakes, vegan bacon, brussels sprouts, and the shrimp po'boy. Unfortunately, I'm speaking of them in past tense because as of tonight, 09May, they have permanently closed. My family and I were some of the very last customers. They were out of all my favorites, so it was extra sad for me. I ended up trying the tacos for the first time. They were cool. But I'm surely going miss my favorites! The owners also own Frida's and Diego's, off Delmar and North & South. I personally don't care for the food at either one, but rumor has it, they might bring some of the Station No 3 favs over to one of these restaurants (which are right next door to each other).

Burnt ends were the highlight for sure, you must order these if you go! My group got the burrito…read morebowl, kale salad, bacon and avocado wrap, vegetable chowder, potato skins, burnt ends, and popcorn chicken. It's a great place to go with your vegan friends as there are many options for vegans and non vegans alike. It's counter service or order from a QR code at your table. They also seem to have a full bar. There was a Wednesday happy hour when we were there $9 old fashioned and potato skins. All and all it was pretty good but I would have liked to see some healthier options that weren't salad, like more fresh veggies in dishes.

I knew the drill after reading other reviews, order from the QR code! It was pretty easy and the order was pretty simple. I ordered food from Peacemaker and a drink from 4 Hands. Liam was working the dining area and he was so great! He came over to make sure we didn't need any assistance with the order process and brought water and smiles! Fried Green Tomatoes and Hushpuppies to start. Connecticut Style Lobster Roll with chips. The fried green tomatoes were good, and I love the texture of the hushpuppies was great would love to have more onion flavor. I love the warm Lobster Roll! The butter toasted roll is so good, and then lots of lobster, so good! The chips are crunchy and flavorful. Liam was the highlight here, he was great. He was friendly and helpful and would have eased anyone through the ordering process if they had issues. We didn't and he was great at everything and so so friendly!

The vibe when we visited was less brewery and more unsupervised playground. Kids were running around barefoot, throwing mulch and rocks, while plenty of parents sat back with drinks in hand. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were repeatedly getting hit with rocks from children running around the property. Maybe this was an unusually busy night, but it was hard to relax or have a conversation between the constant chaos, the trains, and the swarm of kids treating the place like recess. I'd post photos, but every picture is mostly other people's children, and that doesn't seem fair. If you're looking for a quiet drink or an adult atmosphere, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where the kids can run wild while the adults have a drink, you'll probably fit right in.

My friend and I have been joking about this bar for years. It sits on this dark little wedge…read morebetween Concord Village Avenue and Lindbergh Blvd. We could never figure out the name, where to park, or whether it was actually a VFW hall. This has been our mystery, last night, we finally solved the mystery and found our way inside Crossroads. Shockingly enough, the little mystery wedge bar, was incredibly awesome. It might even surpass Shottzie's as my favorite South County Hang...well, if the pizza compares which I am sure it does not. The bar is really nice. Hardwood floors with matching wooden tables and wide bar stools with foot rests. The beers are cheap (only $2.75 for a Bud Light) and the wait staff is friendly and funny. They are also way on top of the ball and ready to serve you. The place has a very Cheers type feel to it. It's clearly a neighborhood bar and the people hanging out there are clearly regulars. Normally, this bothers me because I am not a regular and I get the stare down like I don't belong. That did not happen in this bar, everyone was nice and accepting. Who does not love that in a neighborhood bar? There is also a nice little patio that's fenced in from the hazards of Lindbergh Blvd (bonus star for that) and they have all the great little arcade games you could want. (some random bean bag throwing game, golf pro, etc.) Massive bonus stars for not being that smoky, having a pool table, having a stuff Spuds MacKenzie doll on the bar, and the pull tab clock on the wall. FANTASTIC.

++++ food ++++ family atmosphere…read more The food here is delicious! I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected. So get the little ones ordered in first and then decide on the adults.

I only saw two high top tables for two people and they were in corners. So we sat in a corner on backless stools. Stools in restaurants should have backs!Pretty uncomfortable and we won't do that again. It also has really high ceilings so it got pretty loud in there. Our server was Erin and she was good! The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!
