The chicken parmesan sandwich was highly recommended by our server and was very yummy. They provide an extra sauce which was ok and honestly I did not need. My daughter loved her Breaded hot honey wings and my husband enjoyed his Blackened chicken pasta. The Tropical margarita was really good as well! We visited during the week and found a place to sit right away. Service was great. We had a good experience overall!

This was a fun lil stop on a Friday night for the guy and I. We found ourselves here after looking…read moreup "patio" and seeing that this bar was known for their dry rub wings. The staff here was very friendly and helped us each make a selection of what we were drinking, and then we ended up mixing two of the flavor options for a single portion of wings. We chose red hot riplet, and buffalo and headed outdoors to find a spot outside. Turns out we were the only people here so find in a spot wasn't too hard. Atmosphere wasn't bad, plenty of space to lounge and you can tell they get pretty busy later in the night. (We were here around 7pm) The cook came out and turned the string lights on and ensured we were comfortable and shortly after came back with our wings. These were crazy good, so we got another order. Overall service was great, food was great and patio was nice. This is a good spot for the locals to unwind for sure :)

We were quickly seated at the bar. Rachael was our bartender & she was incredibly helpful & kind. She helped us narrow down our drink order as well as our food order. Everything we ate was delicious. The drinks were even better. The whole place felt so warm & inviting. Lots of cool paintings on the wall. And the clean bathrooms were also a plus! Definitely will be back!

Came here for an early dinner during a weekday and I'm glad I did!…read more There's a dining room to the left of the door and the bar area with some tables along the wall to the right. It was pretty empty when I came in and I had my pick of bar seats. I loved the rustic decor with the wood of the bar and exposed brick on the wall with a lot of natural light. I was able to try a few beers before picking one and the bartender was helpful in selecting one I'd like. A plus to me that they brew their own beer in house. If you're a beer drinker I definitely recommend coming in for one. For food I ordered a cup of Mac & cheese and later the porchetta louie. Mac & cheese was just ok I personally think since it's noodles with a liquid sauce vs baked serving it in more of a shallow bowl would be better as the sauce pools in the bottom and the cup is too small to stir the noodles. Also using a smaller noodle would help with this as it kind of felt like I was just eating noodles. The porchetta louie was GOOD STUFF, I recommend! I do wish there was more pork to the sandwich because the cheesiness of it was a little overwhelming but the kale and peppers perfectly compliment the fatty of the pork and the richness of the cheese. Will order again! I'd also like to say their house cut chips are the real deal! So addicting! Perfectly crispy and salted and a great portion. Overall a great experience. The bartender was lovely, beer was great, the service and kitchen was efficient, and the food was great. I'll definitely bring some friends and come back again

The atmosphere is a little more rustic than I typically like too and this place is usually very busy, but I was able to get a seat at the bar. It wasn't the first time I've eaten there and probably not the last. Although I usually don't eat at restaurants that don't have at least a few craft beers which this place didn't have that I could tell, so I had wine instead since I don't drink mass brewery beers. But all in all it's a pretty tasty chicken fried chicken dinner at a good price.

It was actually kind of interesting to sit there and watch t v with the captions being in russian. For a different experience, I would definitely try this place like I said.Very nice people courteous and made you feel at home. It seemed the average price per person is anywhere from $25 to $35 Dollars.

They definitely did not disappoint! From the moment our food came out, everything smelled amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries with the spinach dip, and I absolutely loved the homemade chips that came with it. My kids got kids' meals and enjoyed their food as well. I also ordered a chicken Philly to-go for my son since it was his birthday, which made the visit even more special. Emma was our server, and she was very nice and attentive throughout our meal. I also loved that they have patio seating it's such a nice option, especially on a beautiful day even though we did not sit outside the patio seating we wanted was not open that night. I also liked how they had merchandise to buy while in the restaurant like tees, sweatshirts,bottles of wine . They also cook books for sale in their resturant by another shop we had recently been to called Made by Lia. That was definitely a nice community touch to show how close the area is to their companions! In addition, we had a great first experience and will definitely be back with the rest of the family!

If Hendel's were a character, it would be Hagrid: enormous warmth, big portions, an old house…read moreyou're glad exists, and not much interest in refinement. The building does a lot of the work here: an old place sitting in the middle of Old Town Florissant's residential blocks, with a bar, a dining room, a porch, and a patio we didn't get to use (next cool evening, we will). It's charming, and a real asset to that neighborhood. It is also loud. Old plaster, hard surfaces, not enough hung on the walls to absorb any of it. The old fashioned was solid, sweeter than I prefer. Appetizers were the low point: toasted ravioli thick and hard enough to qualify as gum scratchers (filling was fine), flatbread middle of the road. Then the kitchen found its footing. Parmesan-encrusted chicken won the table, with a nice rice-orzo pilaf and green beans that weren't overcooked. The Jameson whiskey burger came blue cheese, bacon, crispy onions, glaze, brioche, and ate dry (although ordered medium): too many rich flavors, nothing acidic to cut through them. Burnt ends mac and cheese was good and rich, but the brisket wasn't tender as I had hoped. We caught a night with only one dessert (a moist Lemon Sunshine cake that tasted like a Dreamsicle) and ice cream to put beside it. Christy took good care of us, efficiently and strictly by the book. 3.7 out of 5 stars Punch up the apps, and bring some balance to some of the entrees and this would bring up my rating to the low 4s. Bring the relatives who flinch at a menu. Acid somewhere on the plate, tender brisket, ice cream by the cake, and something soft on those walls would move this up quickly.
