    You get a great bang for your buck here! They have all you can eat deals and unlimited salad and soup bar. The fried chicken and shrimp is AMAZING. Our service was a little slow at times but she was very friendly and working a few other tables. Everything else was just ok. I do want to come back for the all you can eat crab legs.

    Crab legs and onion rings

    Kretzer's is about an hour away from STL. The restaurant is in a small town that doesn't seem to have much else. The drive is absolutely worth it for all you can eat crab legs! They have daily specials and you can find them on their Facebook page. Today we had a wonderful server named Shannon. She was on top of checking on us and keeping our drinks full. She also brought us more hot butter The legs are all you can eat for $54.95 and you get two sides the salad bar can be one of those sides as well. As we were leaving I noticed they had several frozen drink machines and the flavors looked so good! Dreamsicle Daquiri- yum! I really wished I had seen them when we got there. Another time!

    Great salad bar! A lot of food for the money. Always busy. Crab legs are what they are known for but everything is good with large portions.

    This place is awesome! Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, good service, and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the catfish nuggets and a trip to the salad bar!

    Food was hot and fresh. Did not have the king crab when we came but everyone enjoyed the regular crab. Service was helpful with my large group. A veryyyyyy casual restaurant.

    The Large Peach Margarita...  Yummy!!!

    Six of us went for all you can eat crab legs today and had a wonderful time. You get two sides and the salad bar was a side you could choose. The salad bar offered a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as potato salad, pea salad, broccoli salad, and couple of different pasta salads. Broccoli salad was my favorite. I chose onion rings as my second side and the others chose Mac and cheese and potato casserole. My onion rings were fantastic and the others raved over theirs. I was amazed when the server brought our first trays of crab legs. They started us off with 6 clusters each. I finished mine and had 2 more. This was more than I've had, but the others had 10, 12, 15, and I think 16 was the most in our party. There was a table of 3 guys who were cracking crab legs when we first sat down and were still there when we finished, so I know we didn't break any records. Needless to say, these crab legs were wonderful. Perfectly salty almost sweet with butter or garlic butter or Cajun butter. It was incredible. It was so good we had the server going back and forth several times taking away shell buckets bringing more fresh steamed crab legs. He was very friendly and attentive. At the end of our meal, we had a birthday celebration and several tables of people joined in and one of the tables shared they were also celebrating a birthday. The restaurant was comfortable, spacious, and full of warm neighborly feels.

    I've been staying in the area to do some deer hunting and have eaten every lunch and dinner here for 5 days now. Absolutely amazing, everything for 5 days. Best salad and soup bar I've ever had. Hamburger Steak Plate WOW, Catfish Nuggets, enough for two, Philly Cheese Steak one day Chicken Cheese Steak the next, Fried Chicken, Ribeye Steak w Baked Potato. Today for lunch in the cold rain, "Lasagna Soup", yep delicious! All you can eat crab legs daily-that's for dinner tonight. More to come over the next few days. The Kretzer's Ownership and Staff are the best in the world. Go try it out, you wine regret it! Back tonight for all you can eat Crab Legs, Most Delicious!

    Tried Kretzer's for the first time today. It was quite good. The dining room is very large (over 25 tables), well light, clean and decorated in a rustic style. Lots of room for large groups. Our server was extremely attentive and checked in on us milt times. I had fried chicken, baked potato and baked beans. My wife had catfish nuggets, baked potato and salad bar. All were very good. Portions are huge. I think we will each get 3 meals out of each dish. The chicken and catfish were not greasy at all. I think there used to be a little bit of heat worked into the batter. It's a place that I would definitely return to, even if it is very out of the way.

    Place is ran poorly and quality has suffered unfortunately. Bad service, poor value and even rudeness to costumers over legit complaints.

Its nt the decor or the location that gt 5ive stars. Its the great steaks and attentive friendly service. Very local vibe, people seemed to know each other and the staff was very chatty. Maybe a little too much because we ahd to keep flagging our waitress down who seemed a bit scattered. But still she was very nice. Other staff members checked on us several times so we were never lacting in anything. The stake I ordered (medium rare) which I always order came out very rare. If it was a little more done I would not have said anything. But someone from the kitchen stopped by the table and asked if I was ahppy with the tempature. I was nice about it and said, well not really, this seems very rare to me, not medium rare. WIthout complain he quickly took the stake on a side dish leaving the rest of myt meal to enjoy. Teo minutes laters a perfectly medium rare stake came out with a bit of char on the outside, hot and pink while still juicy inside. And it was a very good, very thick streak. Honestly I had wished I'd ordered a large cut. ANd isn't a great steak your looking for when going to a steakhouse?

    One of the oddest cheeseburgers I can recall ever ordering. While I admire the chef's /…read morerestaurant's enthusiasm to do something exotic, here, it didn't work. It's about execution. The meat was quite odd, both in consistency and taste. If I had to guess, they took reject pieces from their steaks and ground them up, perhaps several days ago? You couldn't cut through it with a fork. It had a strange taste to it. It wasn't at a warm or hot temperature and tasted stale. The onions that they added were delicious, but way too minuscule in size and bulk to have any taste impact. The bun was ordinary, despite their raving and reliance on its quality, and it being a Kaiser roll. The burger lacked customary garnish. Why I order cheeseburgers at high end establishments? In part? I like the quality thick beefsteak tomato slice and crisp, fresh lettuce. Here? No garnish at all, just a patty with a little cheese and onion. If the patty was fresh black angus and juicy, without the weird consistency and taste present here, and had they lavished it with mountains of similar onion and more cheese? --The risky and odd approach to making a cheeseburger might have proven successful. For this cheese to suffice, it, too, would have needed to be more pungent in taste, and abundant in presence. You could barely taste it. The mashed potatoes were quite good but way too salty. I literally crunched down on some salt crystals. That's when you know there's inordinate salt. Weird service and rock hard chairs made this bizarre stop on the way to St. Louis/ Denver more painful to savor. What irritates me was that I had to order a Caesar salad just to obtain roughage. And when you take the $30 for the salad and burger combined into account? That's a lot for such an odd experience. In summary, anyone who watches and implements the Gordon Ramsay Fword cheeseburger recipe on YouTube will end up with a vastly superior cheeseburger. In this town, while I am visiting only, from what I've read and seen in reviews, I'd recommend instead the frosty mug for basic food along these lines. A $24 burger better be pretty darned special to attract this sort of tab. This was just weird, not great. Sorry, no photos.
