I've now ordered DoorDash and went in twice each. I didn't realize they sold things other than food until this previous time... Last time I went in was one day prior to this updated review. When I tell you this is just another non black business trying to make a buck in the "urban" area; that's EXACTLY what it is. To try to nickle and dime me for COCKTAIL sauce is ridiculous. I've ordered the shrimp plate 3 TIMES in the last 3 weeks - I know EXACTLY how many cocktail sauces I will need for my eating experience. They were only willing to give me 2 this time and proceeded to tell me the cocktail sauce is .75 a piece after. Once he realized I left him a 5 star review he then wants to give me an extra one. When I ordered DoorDash 1 weeks ago I was given 6. So what's the difference between me coming into this place and DoorDash outside of the fees + tip I'll tell you! The fact that if you don't call in you WILL be waiting 30+ minutes and in that 30 minutes what you see in there is actually criminal activity. I should NOT see a man come in with a white dirty torn trash bag handing the cashier unopened items through the pay/food window. I'm talking car freshener plugs, and other miscellaneous things. Remember I said I didn't realize they sold things OTHER THAN FOOD BEFORE. Stolen items. Allegedly. The icing on the cake was I was standing there minding my business and then the cook told that same man shoving items through the window to "fabreeze the place" so the man goes to the front door and sprays it everywhere... In my original review I said this place ain't that big! I ended up walking out until my food was ready only to come back to this man trying to nickle and dime me over cocktail sauce. AND the food this time was lackluster than the last 3. This is a DoorDash ONLY establishment and only if you like supporting non black people coming into the community to send their kids far away from you & your kind. I said it, and I am firm on it. I'm completely turned off this place. read more

Ocean Grill STL - a fried chicken sandwich and french fries - New American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

See all

There's no shortage of fish and chicken places on DoorDash and I've tried quite a few of them so I landed here as the one I hadn't ordered from yet. I have been highly satisfied with their food for both its freshness and flavor. The catfish has a good flavor and is always fried crisp enough. I found the price to be reasonable for 2 pieces and plenty of fries at $8.99. One feature that they should add, is being able to add a piece of fish to the meal. Since it's only an up-charge of $0.99 for cheese fries, there's no resisting that. They are some of the tastiest I've had. They do add jalapenos with them which adds a delicious kick, but with all of the cheese, it's not too spicy. Other things I've tried are the chicken and steak philly sandwiches. There is plenty of meat and they are decent but could use more seasoning. The shrimp is also good. I have ordered from here several times now and recommend giving them a try. read more

Great food, customer service is on point too definitely recommend to everyone in the area.

It's your typical neighborhood spot. The chicken or fish batter lacks seasoning; they simply sprinkle lemon pepper on top. However, everything is usually served hot, fresh, and at a reasonable price. If you're craving something greasy and fried, this is the place for you. read more

We had a big event, order fish and chicken the day before. Paid for the order the day before and the day to pick up our order at the time requested to be ready, we had to wait an extra 30min. There was no compensation either, the order was over $200. My advice if you cannot handle a large order do not do them. Accommodate the customer if you are late with their order especially when you got the payment the day before. Do better! Not a happy customer! read more

I ordered on Doordash and left a review there, but I have to leave one here too let people know to order here. My food was amazing, and great prices like this are so hard to find, especially with their portion sizes. The fried okra (4.99) could feed like 3 people. Give it a shot, you can thank me later. read more

I can't speak to the ambiance as I had my food delivered but if you're looking for the fried, greasy goodness that is fish & chips, this is the place to go. I also found Ocean Grill STL to be incredibly affordable- making it a place I will definitely return to. read more

Great wings and fries! Service is quick and friendly. Good value $ for what you get. No dine in, just carryout. This is right next to Forest Park Metrolink stop. There are often several random people hanging out at the bus stop directly outside. read more

Food is awesome The employees are good friendly kind and trustworthy people as well Always have my food hot and fresh I order the chicken sandwiches all the time. Grilled So fire. read more

Food is fire. Definitely get the gyro. Only reason why it's not 5 stars is that the ambiance isn't great.

HUGE portions, can easily feed 2 people. Lots of options and super affordable. They also have the best fries, highly recommend! read more

Ocean Grill STL - Fried Catfish Nuggets Dinner - New American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Recently moved nearby and this place is very reliable. If you're looking for a quick meal whether it be chicken, sandwiches, fish, shrimp, they've got it. The employees are nice and make sure you're looked out for. They are also like a mini convenient store and sell snacks, drinks, etc. They've come in clutch many times, swing by. read more

Very good gyro salad. I was turned onto this by some coworkers. I really thought it wasn't going to be enough food. However I was very satisfied. read more

My first time here and they showed out!!! Food was hot and great! Their shrimp bowl, chicken wings and they gyro EVERYTHING was GREAT!!! Will be back!! read more

The food was okay (mid). It'll get you out of a pinch. I'll probably never return here. They don't take online orders which they could benefit from. The lady who answered the phone to take the order was rude and her personality matched her when I seen her in person. She stated that the food would be ready in 15 minutes, it took 45. Don't come here looking for ambiance. It's like a corner store with a food section in it that is located at a metro link. read more

Good food fast courteous service good portions low prices can't beat this service I will be back

If you live near this place or are regularly in the Forest Park area, Ocean Grill STL is a no brainier. If you haven't tried it and you like simple grilled/fried food, get over there right now. You won't regret it. The prices are ridiculously cheap, the portions ridiculously large, and the staff ridiculously friendly. On our first trip we had a Fried Fish Plate (w/fries) and a Gyro (w/fries) plus a drink all for ~$15. Both dishes were incredibly tasty and filling, I'm already checking out the menu to see what I'll try next time. Maybe the burger. Because it's a fresh cooked burger with fries for $6!!! Unreal. In any case, you should be aware that this place is take-out only and you will have to find nearby street parking which can be a pain. But if you want a hearty (if not healthy) meal to go, it would be hard to do better than Ocean Grill STL. read more

Friday night, Restaurant Week in Clayton. The place was packed. Over and over they produce. Good seafood is hard to pump out continually but they do. Always greeted by the owner, always a hand shake. It makes a difference. In a tough business filled with imitators, ownership is always front and center here, as it should be. Our table of six ordered from two pre fixed offerings. Salads were more than expected. Breads and oils spot on. Trout prepared perfectly, salmon, sea bass with risotto. I watched the line cooks, an open kitchen concept lends itself to easy view. They worked in unison throughout the night. An expeditor organized and the "all hands on deck" approach to table delivery was flawless. It was a pleasure to watch. The atmosphere, the food, some good wine and a great view of the kitchen left me more than satisfied. Great job guys. That's why we always come back. read more

Had the honey hot wings and the fried shrimp delivered. I'm a fan! Everything was hot and delicious. Great portions too!

It was my first time trying them even though I have heard that they were good. I enjoyed the food and the service was great.

Stopped in on my way to doc appointment, it's a small location nothing major. The young lady who took my order was polite as well as multi tasking. It didn't take long for my order to ready, was not busy. I ordered the veggie burger that comes with fries. It tasted good and didn't upset my stomach (since my 1st time). The only thing that was a surprise was that it was bread bread not a hamburger bun otherwise thumbs up! I will come back because they have other stuff I wanna try. read more

I have ordered many Philly cheese steaks and wings. Very good every time. The fries are great and the cheese sauce they use (if you get cheese fries) is very spicy the way I like it. Have had the steak as well and it was good for the price I paid. I haven't had a bad experience yet (been here over a dozen times). I read the review of the "drug deal" guys, but it's right outside of a metro link stop so there is usually security in the vicinity. I love this place and recommend you check it out if you are looking for fried/fast food. read more

Yum! Surprisingly good. So many options. I don't eat meat but the boyfriend does. Veggie burger and fries and the nachos without beef are good. Boyfriend says chicken and beef are good. read more

I've heard the good here is really good so we decided to check it out. We pulled into a parking lot across the street and had to drive around two cars that had pulled up beside each other. The guys were doing something that looked like a drug deal but we thought we'd let it go. We got parked and saw two more groups who were clearly doing drug deals or something shady. We didn't even get out of the car at that point. We got away from there and found another option. I don't care how good the food might be, none of us felt safe. We've been in areas that may not look the best but didn't seem unsafe. This wasn't one of those. This was on a bright Sunday afternoon and we still didn't think it was the place to be. If you go you take your chances with your safety. read more

This is place is one of those hidden gems. I see people from all over the town come to this small place and finally decided to give it a try. The fries, SOO GOOD it's almost like they are double fried to get an even crispier coating. I ordered two Lamb Gyros and they were TO DIE for. The special sauce was delicious. I would stay away from the onion rings though, they get soggy quick, go with the fries not both. There is also no seating in the waiting area so you're kinda just standing with the other people waiting like bears to see who's food gets called on first. read more

always taste great - the chicken wings are a narmal size wings fresh not dried up hard chicken - the price is great too -

Great spot to run around the corner for "Chopped cheese" style food! Love the fried okra and thin steaks!! Super fast if you call ahead and pick up If you live in the neighborhood, great alternative to cooking!! read more

This place is a diner with standard diner fair like burgers and all-day breakfast. They have lots of variety on their menu including gyros with authentic gyro meat, tripe sandwiches, lots of wings, and a kids menu. Prices are right and the folks running the grill are good friendly guys. read more

Website says they open at 8 AM. Sign on door says they open at 8 AM. When I came by at 9:15 AM today, the door was locked and restaurant was still closed. I guess 9:15 AM is before 8:00 AM according to the people that work here. read more

This is the perfect type of inexpensive, basic, take - out place (with a couple of tables if you want eat on premises) for this location. One gets unpretentious American cuisine, from $10 steaks to eggs, bacon, 'n' coffee all day. Great place to stop by on the way back from Forest Park or the Metrolink. Great restaurant for its type. Ought to be much busier after the trolley is finished, and the mess in front of the shop is cleared away! read more

This restaurant is always consistent with great service and excellent food. The management team really stays on top of the little things. I will be a loyal customer for sure! Ted read more

The turkey burger I ordered was tough and dry with brown, wilted lettuce on it. Also, the cashier was a bit rude. I can't say that I would buy anything from here again. read more

Hey guys this place is really good! It has been different restaurants in the past, and I want ppl to know THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE! I dont want them to be frightened away. This new owner is awesome, the prices for burger fries are like value meal prices 4.99 burger and fries...lol but my gosh the size of the burger, my husband and I shared it, and the fries. You get your moneys worth. I am just waiting for payday I will be going again. Just give this place a go, if you are out going to Forest Park or Zoo this is where u should grab lunch, something for everyone. read more
