    Side salad is large
    Jen W.

    This restaurant is closest to our hotel. For a number of reasons we had a stressful day and just wanted a nice salad and bed. The hostess brought us to our table and a waitress came by quickly to take a drink order. The first draft beer my SO ordered was not available. The first cocktail I ordered was not available, the second they didn't know how the make the third I made as basic a requeat as I could. They could make that one but with a different liquor than the one I requested. So 'full' bar-ish. I guess all this wrangling over getting a drink order in put our waitresses knickers in a twist. Always polite to our face she slammed every drink, including waters onto the table top. She did a good job being sure we had what we needed, but in this place everyone knows each other and we started getting side eye from the table next to us so she was clearly venting about us to other customers. The salads were fresh with a nice variety of toppings. We would stop here again for the food. The tables were clean, seating comfortable, menu varied. Between music and conversation the room is loud. Our waitress asked us repeatedly if we were ready for another adult beverage. Every time she passed the table, very agressively. After a stressful day, this unnecessary treatment was just the suck cherry on top. We just wanted a quiet meal to unwind. Sorry our mental exhaustion annoyed you.

    Buckle up everybody! You're gonna wanna put this one at the top of your list! Went on a date with my fiancé to this nice little spot, and I could tell by the smells and the aesthetic, we were in for a treat! I wish I could've taken video because the inside of this restaurant is so nice and chill. We sat down, and in true big Backian fashion, I ordered a lot the bread bites and the pizza?! in hindsight, I would've gotten a small because I ate off that medium for another 3 days! We were there around closing, and that didn't affect our servers mindset at all! She was absolutely amazing! Prepare to not only be full, but to have some amazing left overs for days to come! Thank you Rosati's!!!

    This place has so much potential, great service and good food but the other day we came in and were served alcohol and watched the gaming machines be taken away. I looked up the public records and sure enough their liquor license has been expired for over a month? I'm not sure how this is legal but this business should NOT be selling alcohol while their liquor license is expired

    Very excited to have somewhere that serves Chicago deep dish pizza on the IL side of the STL-metro area. Went at lunch time with a friend on a rare Monday off. We both ordered drinks and decided to split a small deep dish pizza with chicken, spinach, & cheese. It was the perfect size for 2 people as we each had two slices and each got to take a slice home for lunch the next day. Our service was good and the drinks were great with reasonable prices. Excited to go back and try more things!

Gal that was behind the register said she couldn't make it and went to get bartender who made and served me. Asked about the burgers and placed my order with first gal behind register. Finished drink while waiting, no food. Bartender came back a few times to cash out tables to my empty glass, no drink. Told her I know you're busy, will take another one. 20 minutes later, no burger and still no drink. Was about to leave cash and walk out when she came back, I pointed at my empty glass and she made a fresh drink. A few minutes later, bartender asked if I wanted to order. Told her I ordered with the other girl 25 minutes ago. Guess what?, the other gal said she told the bartender to put it in because it wasn't her area. Original gal then put order in and immediately gave me total and wanted payment at register. Told her to leave it open in case I got another drink with my food. 10 minutes later food came out in a to go box tied up in a bag.... Told her I ordered for there and not to go, and the response was "$29.38". Was frustrated and hungry at this point so I paid and went back to hotel to eat. The entire time I was waiting there was an older gentleman who looked like manager giving directions and walking back and forth behind bar. No assistance was offered at all. Burger was mediocre,, not spicy at all and roll was stale. If I wanted a lukewarm burger with soggy fries I would have ordered room service or gone to McDonald's. Over an hour to get 2 small light pour drinks and a take out burger. BTW, they also add a surcharge for credit cards. Cannot recommend.

It was…read morea struggle, but I forced myself to order something else off the menu and I am glad that I did. Instead of my typical order of wings and fries, I got the Pump Jack Burger. It's made with Angus beef topped with Pepper Jack cheese, Grilled Balsamic Onions, Mild Banana Pepper Rings with a Sweet and Spicy Sauce, all served on a Onion Roll. It was served with a side of Fries. I was impressed by the size of the burger and that it was hand pressed. A hand pressed burger always tastes better to me. I requested that it be prepared medium rare and it was done perfectly. The fries were soft, I'd prefer mine a little crispier, but they were seasoned well. I got a giggle from their ketchup bottle, it said it was "Fancy". They have an impressive variety of beers. They offer draft, bottle and canned. I personally always go with one of the many craft beers they have on the menu. When dining alone, I always sit at the bar. The bartenders are typically female and are friendly. I am fan of hooks under a bar and Pump House takes it even a step further. They also offer, outlets. If your phone needs a charge and you've got a cord, you are set to go. Offering outlets under a bar, is top notch customer service. Now that I know they have great burgers as well as their wings, I'll have to rotate between the two when coming to dine.

Docs items are not cooked to order. Owners don't walk out when 80% of their patrons are experiencing extended waits on food, and one new employee should not be the excuse given at Doc's Smokehouse.

We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it! If you think this is anything other than spectacular there is something wrong with your pallet. We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.

I ordered online and picked up my order to-go. The good news is the wings were ready quickly and also super crispy which is always pleasant and what you want out of a wing. The slightly bad news is the wings are *very* lightly sauced. There was an option to pay an extra 0.50 for extra sauce, but I decided to see what their baseline was since it was my first time ordering. In the future, if you like a sauced wing at all, I would pay the extra. I got the buffalo (one flame symbol) and the Nashville Hot (three flame symbols) which I felt was accurate. The buffalo was not really hot at all, just the buffalo-flavored sauce and the Nashville Hot was warm enough to leave your lips a little tingly, but not so hot that you couldn't enjoy the flavor. My interaction with the staff was brief but pleasant. I would love to come back and try their loaded fries which look delicious, but didn't trust I could get them home before they got cold and soggy. So next time I'm there for dine-in, I'll give those a try. If you're a wing snob, it's worth a visit!

    Being single, I did not want to go to all the trouble and expense of preparing myself a BBQ meal…read morefor Memorial Day. So I drove over to E-ville and had mine at, Edley's Bar B Que. They did a great job and the portions were so large, I got two meals out of my Ribs and Brisket Combo Platter. Brisket was fork tender and the Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Both were good, but my fave was the Ribs. Edley's is an order at the counter establishment. Once you order, you're given a table marker number. When your food is ready, a runner will bring it to you. If you're a soda or tea drinker, you'll order them with your food. If you prefer an adult beverage, you order them separately at the bar. I aways sit at the bar any way, so it's easy to order a beer while waiting for my food. Edley's now has their very own, Hazy IPA made by Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. I gave it 4 out of 5 Stars on my Untappd. I liked that a local STL brewery was the one who made it for Edley's. My Combo Platter came with two sides and I chose, Baked Beans and Red Potato Salad. I have always said, if you're eating BBQ, you've got have a side of Baked Beans. Another of my crazy rules is, Potato Salad must be made with Red Potatoes. So when I saw that they advertised their potato salad with red potatoes, I knew I had to have it. The Baked Beans had chunks of brisket in it, which added extra flavor. Even though the potato salad was made with red ones, it needed more white pepper and some more seasonings to make it kick. In addition to the two sides, the platter came with a piece of Jalapeño Cornbread. I'm a jalapeño addict, so it was a winner for me. It was moist and had plenty of little pieces of jalapeños to give it the perfect kick. The young lady at the counter was very perky and made the ordering process easy and smooth. My bartender was friendly and hustled taking care of bar customers and guest who showed up at the take-out window. I arrived around 11:30 AM and soon after, the restaurant filled up inside and on the patio. I was surprised how busy the take-out window was. I guess some folks wanted an easy Memorial Day, too.

I had looked at the menu ahead of time, and we chose this place in great part because they had fish. I knew I wanted the catfish (I'm pescatarian), but it turned out they were out. So we left. There was nothing else I could eat besides the French fries and maybe the slaw. The atmosphere felt nice, though, while we were there. That gets a star.
