Ribeye
Sydni M.

This is a hit every time I eat here! If you're looking for the definition of a hole in the wall restaurant then this is it! The food is always amazing, and the food is even better! The servers are so friendly and if you frequent enough they'll get to know you and know your order. I have nothing bad to say about this place. This is simply good hometown food! I will always recommend this place to anyone stopping into town!

This is one of the primo restaurants in the area. The bar itself is a total dive and smoking is allowed. No reservations and the dining room is small. This place gathers diners from a large area so you WILL wait. I waited outside to get away from cigarette smoke. They allowed me to enjoy my bar drink outside while I waited, so it was a pleasant wait. In bad weather, expect to be uncomfortable while waiting. I am not a fan of ribeye (I know it's supposed to be the best but everyone has preferences) so I was expecting to be bummed based on the menu photos but the night I dined they had an off menu special of t-bone so I was thrilled. My husband and I shared the gigantic steak, he ate the massive baked potato and I ordered a plate of fries and the seafood soup (it's been a while so I can't remember if it was crab or lobster). The soup was ok but not my favorite. The steak and french fries were amazing, such a treat! I would go again any time I'm in town. I know this place doesn't have much competition so you may think it's so highly rated because there isn't really anything better, but I think this place easily holds its own against some of the finer restaurants I have been to in St Louis and farther abroad. Plan to be shocked if you're from out of town.

14oz ribeye, potato, and bread. Perfectly to the point!

See all

Deeply disappointing and concerning dining experience! I rarely leave negative reviews, but my…read morerecent visit to this restaurant was so troubling that I feel obligated to warn others. From the moment I walked in, the service was indifferent at best. It took nearly twenty minutes just to get someone's attention, and when a server finally approached, they seemed annoyed that I had questions about the menu. Throughout the meal, dishes were dropped off without a word, drinks went unrefilled, and no one checked in to see if anything was okay. Unfortunately, the food itself was even worse. My entrée arrived lukewarm and clearly undercooked in the center, despite being a dish that should have been served piping hot. Another plate at the table was missing key ingredients entirely, as if it had been rushed out without any care. The flavors were flat, the textures were off, and nothing tasted fresh. The real issue, though, came later. Within a few hours of eating there, I became noticeably sick--nausea, stomach cramps, the whole ordeal. I can't say with certainty what caused it, but given the state of the food, it wasn't surprising. What truly alarmed me were the visible health hazards. I noticed a sticky spill on the floor that no one bothered to clean up, even as staff stepped around it repeatedly. I unfortunately had to use the restroom while we were there. The restroom sink had grime built up around the faucet, a dead cockroach near the commode, and there was no soap or toilet paper. As we were leaving, I could see uncovered food containers sitting out behind the bar. These are the kinds of things that make you question what's happening behind the scenes. Overall, this was one of the most unsettling dining experiences I've had in a long time. Between the poor service, improperly prepared food, and concerning cleanliness issues. Now here's the kicker...there was not a manager available (shocker), so I asked for the owner's contact information so I could report the health violations and food safety issues. The waitress laughed and said "We've told him many times - he doesn't care and he doesn't allow us to give out his number. He wouldn't answer the phone and absolutely would not call you back." So, if you'd like to eat at an establishment where the owner clearly doesn't care about you or what you think, cleanliness, or food safety, you've found the perfect place.

We had eaten shrimp tacos here with a delicious sauce once before - they were good. We tried again…read morelast night (2/28) and they were awful. Basically plain uncooked shrimp with no flavor in a small uncooked flour tortilla with dry broccoli slaw from a grocery store and mandarin oranges from a can. No sauce at all, nothing cooked. The charge was $16 each. Waitress told me there was a different person cooking We will never go back! Servers were more interested in talking and dancing to the music playing than serving. I had to get up to get their attention to even get my check.

They dont always ID so if you dont have it, no problem. Your friends are allowed to vouch for you…read more Also they wont call the cops so no fear of any reprecussions for your actions. Cover charges at door start for the night just whenever they decide to, no warning aheadnof time. Make sure you have cash or they wont let you in. Also the owner will serve your husband till he's absolutely plastered and then kick you out when he becomes aggitated so she can flirt with him and call you- the patron-unprofessional. So if sharing is your thing and you plan to go to enjoy the strictly professional ambiance. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. Security ain't the brightest either. To busy watching the people outside the business to catch the fights going on inside. Slow is an under statement. I'm sure they dont want people to remember the 2 people that were murder in the parking lot a few years back that went unnoticed for 2 days either. Best advice is go literally anywhere else to get your alcohol. PATRONS BEWARE!

I wanna know why I'm still kicked out of boozys when I literally got into a argument with another…read moreguy an we almost fought but we didn't and I was kicked out for 30 days an I was fine with that because I know I was wrong to do that but now they say I still can't come in an that was almost 3 months, so my 30 days should be up but now they changing it or something idk it's messed up because that the first time I've ever done anything to disrespect their bar an i know I was in the wrong but now yall are because everybody knows I'm quite an I'm not like that and never cause any problems endless someone makes something my problem but I'm still usually cool, back in the day before my daughter was born it would be different but now I'm just trying have a good time an enjoy life, I was in a bad place around the time that happen but I'm better now but it seems not to matter, I made one small mistake that literally people make every time their at the bar. Happens so much an we didn't even fight. So they just kicked everybody out for life that gets in a heated argument with someone else an ya sometimes it might end in a fight but that's why the bouncers are their but I didn't fight anybody so why am I not allowed in their. It's fucked up an it's people drinking an to much because you guys are the ones serving them so much but when they get mad your like fucked, your gone for life but first only 30 days lmao makes no since
