    Everyone, I found you a late night spot. Pops Kitchen on Washington Ave is proof that not all late-night fried food has to come in a cardboard box from a chain. This is the local joint where the grease is just better and the fish actually tastes like fish. I went all in on the catfish and it was #StLouisPescatarianApproved The breading was perfectly crispy and the inside was flaky. And yes, I was out past midnight, so where's my medal?

    Flew into St. Louis for work and came here based on a recommendation from the hotel. Had the cat fish, wings and fries. Not bashing the restaurant but my body couldn't handle fried everything and the seasoning was a little over board. Worst $27 I ever spent

    Thank you Yelpers! This place did not disappoint. The catfish was great. Lightly coated and fried to perfection. The wings were also fried to perfection. Great seasoning on everything. My friends enjoyed their shrimp plates and one couldn't stop raving about the catfish. A definite spot to check out.

    My friend was getting married so he requested this as his meal to get ready before the wedding. He kept raving about the wings but I was more excited to try all of the other side options. I got the fried cauliflower, onion rings, hush puppies, corn nuggets, okra, mac n cheese bites, coconut shrimp, and pizza puff. I got my husband a cheesesteak. The fries were good with ranch. I thought everything was good, just not amazing. The only thing noteworthy was the pizza puff. It was piping hot and stuffed like a big pizza hot pocket. Very flavorful and came with fries. Well worth the price. Bring cash if you don't want to pay a credit card surcharge. Street parking only so that's hard to find. I got dropped off. Lots of bottled drink options as well as ice cream flavors. I would come back to try more options next time we are in STL!

    Pops kitchen off Washington is a staple. Awesome fried everything. Chicken fish shrimp Talapia. A little pricey but good. The honey glaze sauce is amazing.

    Whole fried wings, and fries.

    Was walking by to catch my ride, and smelled pure deliciousness in the air! Everyone on the street pointed to Pop's Kitchen. I ran in a made a quick night cap order of wings/fries to see if they taste as good as they smell. These wings were off the chain! They actually taste like home fried chicken! Amazing!

Yesterday, at Schlafly Tap Room, I did just that. My excuse is that I didn't read the menu as closely as I should have. I don't read well anyway, and it was late on what had been a long, difficult Monday--a manic Monday, if you will. I wished it was still Sunday. I'd just run five miles with a group that meets once a month, on the third Monday. But they alternate between here and another location, so they're not here that often, and after last night, they might not be back. Also, they might not offer a burger that comes on a regular bun. I know they have a few sandwiches that come on hoagie rolls or toast. If they just happened to a random, lone hamburger bun in the back for some reason, perhaps for emergencies, it would have been easy enough to ask them to use that instead. Their Tap Room Burger, or whatever they're calling it, is a decent-size sandwich. It just seems small because the English muffin they use isn't any bigger than one you'd get with, say, an Egg McMuffin. But the meat is nice and thick (ayo) and hangs out over the side of the, erm, bread a little bit. It's a shockingly high quality beef, better than on the last several steaks I've eaten, for what it's worth. They actually asked how I'd like it cooked. I requested medium, and would you believe they actually cooked it medium? I order a steak mid-rare, but I find that a burger benefits from just a bit more time on the grill. I'm no savage. It comes with a weird shredded lettuce (possibly a KFC Shredder) that doesn't contribute any value and a mild, melty white cheddar that's really good and really complements the beef. Clearly, the idea is for the meat to be the dominant flavor. The English muffin is neither very good nor very bad, as far as these things go. It's just a regular ol' English muffin, like you might find in a grocery store. It would have been better if it were toasted (or toasted more?) and buttered, but the butter in particular might have overpowered the subtle flavor of the beef. I suppose that if they only had one guy who knew what he was doing, it was for the best that they had him working the kitchen. The guy they had taking orders was out of his depth. You'd think that this was his first day, except he had all of these weird systems. He was very adamant that no one switch seats, like in a certain kind of fire drill, lest he get the orders mixed up. Which was very thoughtful of him, I guess, but the way he said it was like we'd done something wrong, or were in jail. He tried to count how many people wanted water (in a group of people who just ran five miles in 80-degree weather), lost count, then asked, by show of hands, who *didn't* want water. He accidentally brought an extra beer and then, instead of just leaving it for someone to drink, let us know he was gonna go pour it down a drain. LOL what a spazz. It's tragic, because this is a fairly easygoing group. All of the really crazy people I know are in another group I run with. He didn't screw anything up that badly, but he would have been better off if he did and he had a more likable personality. Hopefully, he took that extra beer in the back and drank it himself. That may have been what he needed.

We have always considered this a place we could count on, which made this visit particularly upsetting. The Reuben sandwich we were served was burnt and looked so poorly presented that it honestly appeared as though it had already been partially eaten. At that point, I had serious concerns about the quality and care being put into the food. Unfortunately, the service only made the situation worse. The wait staff was rude, dismissive, and did not make us feel like our concerns mattered. To be fair, the manager was very helpful and did what they could to address the situation. However, by that point, the experience had already taken its toll and I had completely lost my appetite. After 15+ years of being loyal customers, it's difficult to leave a 1-star review. But this was not simply a bad meal--it was an experience that genuinely made us question the standards and level of care at a place we have supported for so many years. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously, because this is not the kind of experience longtime customers should have. Not sure if there is new ownership, but doubt I'll be back.

First of all the cocktails are wonderful. I'm an old fashioned girlie and their version did not let me down. My friends got some different, more unique drinks though that were really inventive and the sip I had of one of them confirmed that they do taste as good as they look. The lobster roll doughnut I had was really fun, and I'd definitely try it again, though I think sharing it with a friend along with a big side order of their fries might be the winning move here. I don't live in STL so not sure when I'll be back but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot to others as it really is a little gem of a restaurant.

You'll enjoy the evening. You'll also catch yourself thinking, Ross, relax, the lobster is fine on a regular bun. Like friends, the environment is relaxed, and winks at the long john silver's concept of hanging fish nets from the ceiling or perhaps that's the east coast ambiance? We came as a party of ten for a friend's 40th, so weigh the service notes with that in mind. The staff kept water glasses full and drink orders moving, and entrées landed on time. Our appetizers did not. Twenty minutes in, I asked to add one, and the whole set arrived together, which tells me the first order never made it to the kitchen. The focaccia with romesco butter and the pomegranate pork belly skewers were worth the wait. The fried polenta was fine, but I was there for the spiced jam under it. The Golden Coast Old Fashioned was excellent, nearly the best thing I had all night. Fair warning on the fish and chips: the crust is thick and heavy, and you need to want that. The salt and vinegar fries are terrific and punishingly salty, so order them as a shared side, not a full plate. This is decadent, salt-forward food, and Extra Wavy knows it. The Wavy Burger (two thin smashed patties, manchego, pickles, sofrito aioli, crispy guanciale) was the plate worth reordering. A friend swears she dreams of the crab pasta, it's good. A friend hyped the lobster donut roll, and it was fine. Our friend with no expectations loved it. Manage yours. I tried my first oysters here. People who like oysters say these are good. I am not such a person. Sea snot is a texture I can skip. The sticky toffee pudding, on the other hand, I would drive back for multiple times. 4.0 out of 5 starts A signature dish that lands on the first try, and appetizers that show up on time, get this to the mid fours.
