[Review 19743 overall - 220 in Missouri - 715* of 2023.] * Today is May 23 and it is the 143rd day of the year. With this review, I have finally caught up to an average of 5 reviews per day (143 x 5 = 715). If I can keep this up (I have plenty to review from this trip!), I will end the year with 1825 reviews. And that won't even be the most reviews I've ever written in a year!

The good news is, you can't get lupus from going to Lupus. But you can get some really good…read moredown-home music and friendly vibes from the music playing in the general store. I have only been there once, but sometimes you know it when you see it. And this place is a unique gem. Maybe it's not what you'd call "remodeled" or "passes city codes", but it has withstood the test of time good enough for me, and it seem to have an the kind of unpretentiousness where people there don't use big words or anything. My point is, it's not a place that is summed up in a yelp review very well. You sort of have to go there to see it. Some history of Lupus. In 1993 there was like a 100 or 200 year flood, and the town was under 3 feet of water. They got some FEMA money to raise all the houses up like 10 feet. Literally. So you know you're in the right town when you see houses on stilts. Getting to Lupus is quite a drive, but I would say it's a good destination trip. The general store is the second to last building on the left as you head down main street towards the river. If you get to the railroad crossing, you've gone too far. The last building on the right is the city hall. The town has about 40 people in it. Cover is $7 donation, and there is usually a jam afterwards, so bring you instrument if you so desire. Oh yea, the store is also an antique place, and so if you need a player piano, or a kerosine lamp, this is the place for you. Also, this place gets a spot on my best bathrooms list. Enough said.

Saw some good reviews of this place on Yelp while I was in Jeff City for work. So glad I went…read more Super cool building and bar. 1864 I think. Parked on street saw they had a busy beer garden out back but only went to the bar. Got bangers and mash. It was awesome. Two big brats, kraut, onion gravy. Like 2 lbs of mashed potatoes and huge portion of mushy peas. All of it was awesome. Got a cup of chili it was very good as well. Paired with a black and tan and noticed they had a great selection of Irish beers. Bartenders were nice and personable. Service was good and quick and would highly reccomend it to anyone. Planned to go back for fish and chips but ended up eating at my hotel which was a mistake. Be back in August so I'll be back again!

We ordered the fried ravioli as an appetizer. The accompanying marinara sauce was fabulous and obviously homemade. For our meals, we opted for the fried chicken, tenderloin sandwich, and catfish. My sandwich came with one side and the others came with two. I had perfectly seasoned waffle fries and my companions received a generous side salad and green beans. Everyone was raving about the quality and flavor of the meals. I was especially impressed by my tenderloin sandwich. I order one no matter where I go because they aren't on menus in Cleveland. This one is on the thicker side, but it was very tender and juicy. Hands down, one of the best I've ever had in the area!

Very rarely have I had a meal here that didn't live up to my expectations. From Pizza to Burgers and everything in between my sit-down experiences have been really good, with few exceptions. The Brews available have been great as well, although they seemed to jettison the growler promotion awfully fast. In my mind a solid piece like a growler bottle is not only a collectible but it's free advertising since the customer paid for it. I'll keep politicking management to bring it back, but I'm not optimistic. They do serve 32oz Beers in freshly sealed cans (from tap) that are tasty and great competition for other spots closer to home for me, so there's that. Interior decor is stylish and memorable, and the multi-tier design helps sequester the bar area from the restaurant without being obvious in doing so. Bathrooms are eclectically designed and clean. They also have an adjacent spot in the same building for live music (think acoustic or small groups...they currently host things like Blues jams to decent turnout) So, now that the good things that carry the place have been listed, here are the improvements I'd like to see: Host and Hostess quality is all over the place. Ranges from wandering space-cadet kids to courteous young adults that unfortunately have a habit of hosing orders pretty badly. The actual wait staff and bartenders are fairly top notch when you sit down for a meal, so the disparity of quality on to-go orders I can attribute to the person taking the order. Toppings missing, order mixed up and someone else's meal were all experienced on to-go visits. It makes me covet the times in my work week I can sit down and enjoy a meal here (happymeter- near 100%), but obv that can't happen all the time. Unfortunately these are the things that can kill an otherwise great location, and the actual products here are *great*.
