And it will make sense for this story rather quickly Saturday brunch, as I was bound and determined to hit up a -different- location in Hazelwood (I will be polite and not name them but it wont be too hard to figure out) that's actually in a nearby location. I get there after a maze of side-streets (missing my primary turn off), and it's down to parking on NARROW streets. Uhm.. no thanks! I Spend 15 minutes looping around trying to find a spot on the street to park (the parking lot is teeny-tiny and every n, s, e, and w street either if us completely loaded with parked cars or right in front of a driveway (no blocking drives!) So it's time for backup site. And you know sometimes Fate smiles in your direction. I had known that there was a second lunch stop in a similar area, so follow the map again, and find it decently quickly, and surprise. they actually have a good sized PARKING LOT you can use! Welcome to Henkes! And I walk in to a long bar, and a crowded bar. (Wow, 1 in the afternoon and this place is packed!). Patio outside, indoor table... indoor table it is. And even those were nearly full. But the bartendress was over reasonably quick, although she had the same issue most bars here in st. louis have They never answer 'what is the best drink you make'. It's always what they like. Oh well, you can't have them all. (Although i will say I didn't have to ask about the Peanut butter and Jelly shot... You WANT ONE OF THESE! (if you're not allergic to peanuts - or peanut butter whiskey) Drinks came in a little slow (but not terrifyingly so.. did i say this place was packed for lunch on a Saturday?). Ironically, the busboy was over to me to make sure I'd ordered, but was nowhere the conversationalist the bartendress (I need a shorter word for bartendresses!), but don't take it as a negative, at least I know I was being looked after (or watched.. Nah, no paranoia here :) ) Easy to order: Shrimp Po-Boy with a side order of Onion Rings and Loaded Tater Tots (what can I say, I'm a simple man of food choices). Food came out reasonably quick, so I didn't have much time to look around (and most people have gotten decent indoor photos already) I will say (it looks like they're holding out hope that the video machine restriction is lifted back soon (2 video slots machines were listed Out-of-order). Anyway, whenever I had questions the bartendress was willing to give me a minute or two, (too bad they didn't have one of their "swag" in my size though). Although I forgot to ask as they appear to have live music bands on some days.. Where do the musicians fit? This place is a tight squeeze just on Lunch for Saturday! However, we do have to argue one issue with Heinke's and I'm just curious if this has never been brought up before: Asking for the meal with a side dish of Onion rings.. they charged me the sandwich plus an extra $8.95for the all-in-plate. (Yes, that's the only thing I can figure the all-in plate means?) But if i had just asked for the sandwich and a side of onion rings (I get the price of the sandwich + 5.95 for the side order?) Uhm.. Maybe I'm missing something in math class, but I get charged MORE for the same meal? Come on guys. tell me I'm missing something???? (only -star in the entire theme today) Anyway back to the original statement: So the TARDIS had it right. I may not always get where I'm going, but i'm glad I got to go where I needed to be! And if you're smart, you'll go there too! Patio or indoor, totally worth it!

The Good: Order taker was great with suggestions. Greeted and thanked me. The Runner: Caucasian, heavier set lady. Not sure if she is new, but this this is my first time seeing her there( I guess I'm somewhat a regular now) lol. That's bad...but anyways, I digressed. She was not pleasantly looking.

Our party of 8 were celebrating a family member's great health news. When our server, Erin asked the occasion, she returned with a COMPLIMENTARY glass of champagne for each of the adults! Even though the restaurant was busy, Erin was super attentive and patient. We had the carbonara and Fleurissant pastas, chicken power bowl, salmon salad, Greek salad and gyro. The kids had cheeseburgers and grilled cheese. For dessert: key lime pie, chocolate lava cake and maple caramel cheesecake. EVERYTHING was superb and we all made happy plates! Our group also commented how the prices seem to have remained steady over the past several years. That's a big plus! Hendels knows how to keep us coming back!

Our server was very friendly and answered any questions we had and was also enthusiastic about our car-buying process, encouraging celebratory drinks. The food was delicious!

Came with a side of bbq sauce and a tube of sour cream. Everyone was very friendly and clearly all get along. I ate inside and got to hear their conversations, which were all friendly and fun.

Missed lunch due to work meetings, couldn't' grab anything from the work "break room" cause they hadn't finished stocking it! (Why do all my stories always have a sob-story in them somewhere? RATINGS, that's why of course :) ) So anyway, all the usual fast-food joints are so blase, and I hadn't done a new food site for a while. so it's time, right?? Two birds, one stone. Anyway, I get to the shopping center and completely miss seeing the lit up sign. (Do you know how stupid you have to feel to use google maps to travel the SHOPPING Center parking lot you're in? Yep, that's me!) SO anyway i find the location (even after misreading my GPS... left is left, right is right)., and it's right where the maps said it would be. So in we go.. (hour before closing). And the first thing you notice is the place is _TINY_. I mean yes, they have a couple of tables. but the message is "order your burger" and go home and enjoy it. Ironically, it has some of the "BEST" art in the buildiung since my Amigo Sole visit (See the photos below And speaking of tiny... the Menu: TINY as well. Burger, double burger, triple burger and a couple of specialty sandwiches and a minimum of sides (One strip of lettuce + one tomato slice = another .75c? I guess they've got to find a way to get some extra income, so I'll let this one slide). But you know what, specialty shops do specialty menus. The owner did say he had a bigger shop with more options.. but again. we're working this "small packages" theme Takes a few minutes to get my Frisco Melt done and the onion rings. (Only 6 onion rings to an order? Ehh.. maybe a little chintzy?). So those don't make it the ride home. But the Frisco Melt, that survives (trust me it's not car-eating food!) and WOW!! 1) It blows away the 'small" theme for the day, 2) Is messy as it can be, and 3) absolutely incredible in taste!

For my meal, I ordered a double burger with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and ketchup, along with a medium fry. The experience reminded me a bit of Five Guys because of how they wrap the burger and serve the fries in a basket. Upon trying my meal, I thought the burger looked good, and the fries were nicely seasoned but a bit soggy; I prefer my fries with a little more crunch. As for the burger, it was decent, and I would rate it a 7.5 out of 10. While it was good overall, I found it somewhat bland. However, I encourage you to visit and form your own opinion. I would definitely return for another meal. I discovered that I can order ahead from their website, so I may do that next time.
