The BF and I came here for date night and also stayed for amateur comedy hour…read more A small dive bar in south city with friendly employees and a limited cocktail menu. The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF. The burger was extremely underwhelming, not seasoned at all. How do you specialize in burgers and mess that up. The best item we ate was the fries and the comedy show was good. I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

Rip Tres Equis; Bienvenidos Smash Em's…read more After much anticipation and an impromptu visit, I was finally able to check this place out. They're known for their smash burgers and seasoned fries. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the food bc I had dinner plans, but I did stay for a couple drinks. They have a great selection of spirits and cocktail specials. My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back. The smells alone (all good of course) will have you lingering back!

Steve's Hot Dogs is so much more than the name divulges! The menu includes hot dogs, brats,…read moreburgers, meatless dogs & burgers, mac & cheese, and chili. All of the above can be ordered with various fixins like bacon, veggies, sauces, jams, and several cheese choices. There's also soup, fries, onion rings, and other sides. You can't go wrong with the Silverback Gorilla Bowl--mac & cheese, bacon, and crispy fried onion--or the Figgy Stardust, which is a burger with fig jam, bacon, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze. Heck yeah it's messy, but they've got napkins! The best part of Steve's? It's a cool bar with good draft beer, cocktails, mocktails, and sodas and such, fantastic vibes, and awesome people. And the owners do great things in the community, so it feels good to drop some change there.

Yum! We were here on Sunday midafternoon, intent on trying chili cheese fries…read more Service was great, he told me his name but I completely forgot. We were taking to-go as we had one more stop to make on the way home. He took our order at the counter and answered a few questions with ease and a great attitude. Beyond the chili cheese fries, I ordered a hot dog plain with a side of the smokey, pepper mustard I love. I took a bite of the hotdog before I put it away for my next days lunch. We tried the chili cheese fries, and they were really good. I like the chili and could order that on its own. We know Steve's has the best fries! Next time I will get my hotdog with fries and a cup of chili to eat and dunk the fries in!

This is my second time visiting this neighborhood coffee shop in a residential area of Tower Grove…read moresouth. It is LGBT friendly and affirming. It's definitely a safe place. There is a one person unisex bathroom. They have an entrance with a few steps or a full ramp to enter. It is street parking only and I've always been able to get a close parking spot as many residents in the neighborhood walk there. There are scattered tables throughout the restaurant. There are plants in the front window, local artists artwork on the wall for sale and a glass case full of goodies. You order at the counter and they bring your order to the table when it's ready. On this visit, I ordered a breakfast bowl that had potatoes, eggs, cheese, spinach and tomatoes, with a side of toast. I also ordered a black pepper & rosemary scone, and a cold brew coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious. Besides this establishment having a wonderful and welcoming vibe, the staff is top-tier. They were so incredibly kind, friendly and patient. Absolutely love them!

The person who took our order was very pleasant, but she is the only thing about the visit that I can positively comment on. Our food was OK to poor, the iced tea undrinkable, and we had to wipe down a table to find a place to sit (we were the only dine-in customers there during our entire stay). That said, we knew early on that we would need to adjust our expectations to a lower level, but we did set them low enough. Based on this visit I can't recommend dining there unless you are pressed for options. They certainly have room to improve and may well turn things around.

The indoor vibes are simple but pleasant. Staff is super friendly - and knowledgeable- both about the food menu and local brews. Above all else - the food was great. Would love to go back to sample more menu items. If I had to offer any kind of knit-picky criticism - I personally prefer a sit down/server come to you experience. This place is built on ordering at the counter. That would be the only thing. With that said - the servers were extremely attentive and came to my table more than once to see if I needed anything. Check this place out.

Pro tip: order the half and half meal, half salad (solid size) and a mini calzone…read more The chicken caesar salad was so good, and arguably better than the calzones. If you're dining with someone, it may be best to get a full size salad and full size calzone, as the mini is mostly the bread (with less stuffing). As visitors driving through, we enjoyed the local soda machines and appreciated the local vibe in the neighborhood.

Slow service (although they were fairly friendly here; most…read moreplaces, the employees look at you with contempt for even coming in), so so food, 75% order accuracy at best, not that clean. We're just stopped by for a quick bite in between activities, and it was ok. It took forever to get the food, but I didn't expect anything less. We ate inside, so we were able to just walk to the counter to get the forgotten items in the order. The counter guy was also the drive through guy, so he was understandably busy. I appreciated he was actually friendly. Maybe I'm just getting old, but geez, the prices are way too expensive for what you get. 2 meals and an order of 6 mozzarella sticks was $26. Yikes. Like everywhere else these days, they focus on the drive through and mobile orders instead of people at the counter. This isn't a place I would be super excited to visit, but it's ok in a pinch.
