    I have read many reviews about The Parkmoor restaurant and made an executive decision to try it and I was not disappointed. It's located in Webster Groves surrounding itself with many other must try restaurants. When entering we were greeted and seated promptly the waitress came over pretty quickly to offer drinks and a menu the restaurant was not too busy and there was some good music playing it was totally a vibe for me. It didn't take me long to decide on the chicken and waffles which the waitress let me know that it was a good choice and man oh man was she right. It came with 3 big chicken tenders and a nice sized waffle that even I tried I couldn't finish it so a to go box was needed, its so much on the menu that I would like to try so I will be returning.

    The food was good as was the service. They weren't terribly busy our server was nice and efficient. The booths are horrible. Too low and tight as can be. Very uncomfortable. The old Parkmoor had the best booths I've ever sat in. The restaurant decor isn't anything special and it was messy but it looked like the people who were eating were throwing food or something. I would never leave where I ate looking like that. It's a good place for lunch. We had pretzel bites and a delicious cheese sauce, chef salad (very fresh and well made, and a burger. No complaints about the food.

    We were excited to try out this diner that has just recently opened in Webster Groves. Okay, it hasn't opened that recently, but it's a new restaurant to us because we moved away to Arizona in 2019. We stopped in for lunch on a weekday and the place was nearly empty. This place is cute inside. Very casual, with hints of forest green and burnt orange. Various seating options such as a bar, tables and booths. The first negative we experienced was the service. Our server said it was his first day, and I do understand. However, it took us 30 minutes to order food. Multiple other servers were sitting in a booth behind us chatting loudly, and didn't once offer to help us. The food, once it finally came out, was good but not great. The Cookies and Cream Shake was really creamy and had a great flavor, but the portion was pretty small. Same with the entrees, my Cheeseburger was pretty yummy and my Mom enjoyed her BLT, but the portions were tiny. I personally wouldn't come back in recent days, mostly due to the poor service. The food and atmosphere were nice, but the service needs a revamp.

    Chicken and waffles

    The onion rings are amazing. I came here just for the onion rings and I was not disappointed. The chicken and waffles was pretty good. I think the pieces could have been a little less dry but it was still very tasty with all the sauce. It comes with a spicy BBQ and a syrup. The dining area is kind of tacky but I don't know what I would change about it. The service was good but seemed a little distracted or out of practice. We did come during a slow hour so maybe it wasn't the regular wait staff.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant. I looked up orange spots and this was one of the ones that came up so I was like let's give it a try. Upon entering it kind of gave me like bougie steak 'n Shake vibes and I noticed that they had signs that they were known for their burgers so of course we gave the brunch burgers a try. The brunch menu was not huge, but they had a few different things. The service was not bad, but they did start to get packed after we were there for a while and I think it was too much for the few people that they had working. My waitress was getting ran around a lot and we were being patient because I know how we can get when a restaurant picks up . So for the most part service was good until we were ready to go and then it took a while for us to be able to pay and get out. For my drink, I tried the breakfast margarita which was OK, but I didn't really taste the margarita portion. The burger itself was cooked to perfection, but did not have much seasoning and the onion rings, I only ate one because they were way too greasy for my taste. Now the fries were excellent. Though I wasn't thoroughly impressed with the food. I would still be willing to give them another. Try to try some other things.

    Stopped in at the Parkmoor for lunch as I was craving a burger and knowing it was Burger Week, I decided to try their King Burger. I got the King Burger as it comes, with EVERYTHING on it, WOW, it was wonderful! I also had fries (you could have had onion rings) they were crispy and delightful! The Parkmoor is cute and nostalgic looking inside, we actually ate outside as the weather was nice and they had really nice seating outside. They also have really good milkshakes, though that didn't quite make the pictures.... The service was wonderful, very attentive and super helpful with all my questions about the menu items...Check out the Parkmoor, you won't be disappointed, a cute, nostalgic diner!

    My family had a great Sunday lunch at the Parkmoor. We enjoyed our meal at the communal high top so we could catch a game on the TVs behind the bar. I enjoyed the Crispy Chick, made spicy with their buffalo sauce. The sandwich was huge! The Buffalo sauce was the perfect heat. The fries were okay, but lacked some flavor. Service was good, but it would've been great to have a little more attention to drink refills. Overall the Parkmoor is a solid, family-friendly spot in an awesome Webster Groves dining scene.

    Get the onion rings.  Don't over think it. Just do it.

    The parkmour is a lot more laid back than the name infers. It's a very casual diner great for families with kids who might be loud. We got gumbo, onion rings, and a burger. They might have had a staffing problem that day because the wait to be seated was long despite it not being crowded. The gumbo was not good, but the burger was above average, and the onion rings were the best I've ever had and you have to make sure to try them. So stick to the typical diner foods and you won't be disappointed.

    Great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Food and service are always excellent. You have to try the pretzel bites with the cheese dipping sauce

    The service was amazing! Amy was so sweet. Took my daughter and a friend and they went on how great she was. She was singing songs and having fun. Really missed the Parkmoor when the original closed. Went there with my grandparents when I was little. The food was great! Very fresh! Milkshakes were so good and the kids loved the old time glasses. Can't recommend enough.

    First time here and wasn't sure what to expect. They have a to go window when you first walk in for purchase of beverages which was a good idea . They are kid friendly and also have a full bar. I had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and fries, the sandwich was excellent, the meat was seasoned perfectly and had plenty of toppings served with crispy fries. Husband had the Single and said it was almost as he remembered from his younger days and was absolutely delicious however the onion rings were terrible, they tasted like grease and were cold.

    The King Burger
    Kelse S.

    This is a really fun spot in Webster! It's kid friendly and has a variety of options for apps, meals, drinks, and desserts. The decor has an athletic vibe which is really cool. We came during burger week, their double cheeseburger was the one being featured for the special ($8- pretty good deal!). I started out with a glass of wine. We didn't order any appetizers, but we did order two meals to split. I ordered the wings and my mom ordered the burger. She also ordered a side of onion rings. Our server was super nice and helpful. Definitely good service! Wings came out and were a good size! They come with the sauce poured on-top rather than tossed in. I prefer my wings a bit more crispy than this- but they were good and definitely good quality. I really enjoyed the sauce. The burger was super good! Smash patty style which is a delicious type. The bun is on the thicker side, but fluffy and fresh. We had a good experience! I'd like to come back and try some more items here :)

    Cristy M.

    Place decor is cool! Very good theming. Portion sizes are HUGE so definitely worth coming if you're hungry. The food itself was pretty average, but tasted fine. Very greasy in general. Service was good and attentive enough. I recommend the king burger! The onion rings are just alright, as is the parlor dog.

But it was also nice to have the full attention of our server who was great! He told us all about the specials and talked us through some of the drinks that he enjoys. Since I shared that I was not currently drinking alcohol, he made a few mocktail recommendations and I loved how he was able to "sell" them to me. I went with a class G&T mocktail and my friend went with a mezcal drink based on his recommendations. We also ordered 2 of the apps to just have at the table while we chatted. The mocktail I had really did hit the spot and my friend really enjoyed her cocktail as well. The hummus we ordered witht he veggies was so good and we also had a potato app that was truly such a unique flavor with creme fraiche and walnuts. Honestly, it was so good I want to go back and order it again! I really enjoyed this HH and know that I need to visit again for the actual dinner menu one day.

We were seated with our wonderful server, Nina (I believe). She was friendly, chatty, and very knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant itself.

It had a little heat, but it wasn't overwhelming. My dad unfortunately had a mix-up with his drink, but once we let Nina know, she happily made him the right one. It was also delicious! For food, we had the chicken wings, which were incredible!!!! They're crispy, spicy, delicious, and they will absolutely be devoured again someday soon.

I was honestly surprised at how busy it was when we arrived at 4pm on a Thursday.

As much as I would've loved to sit on the patio, it didn't look like anything was available, although if you can snag a patio table, I'd definitely recommend it. Inside was packed, with quite a few larger groups as well. Our table was right in the middle of the restaurant, so we had a good view of everything going on. It was loud, but in a fun, lively way. Our server was really friendly and quick. She checked in on us often and gave some helpful recommendations. We ordered drinks and a couple of apps to share, and she left us a full bottle of cold water, which was such a nice touch. We got the pretzel monkey bread, french fries (the best) and the artichoke bean dip. We weren't planning to stay for dinner, just wanted some snacks. The food came out fast and honestly looked too good to wait on. I loved the monkey bread, the pretzel bites had a great crisp to them, and the sauces they served with it were really good. The bean dip was good too, just not as much my thing since I'm not a big fan of dill, so I left most of that for everyone else. Once we wrapped up, we were able to split the check and head out pretty quickly. I really appreciate places that still make it easy to split checks, and even more when you can just pay right at the table with those handheld POS devices.

Their cocktails looked bomb too, we'll have to come back and try some. The beef tacos had REALLY great flavor, the fries were ginormous, crispy and cooked to perfection, and even the whipped feta was tasty. The bread they served it with was bomb.

The bartender was great, very sweet, and was super apologetic. She made us fantastic drinks all night. And I will say, the food was incredible. But it took almost an hour to get just our salads out. And then another hour to get our main. A gentleman behind us came in at 9PM and was gone by 10PM. I'm not sure if our ticket got lost or what, but it was a very odd experience for us. We shared a few things and I will say, they split the plates for us and it was awesome. I was a big fan of the food in general. But my complaint the first time here was timing of service, and looks like it's a continuous issue for them. It's a bummer because I would love to come back, and maybe if we're not starving and in the mood for a long drawn out meal, we'll come back, but definitely not going to be a regular spot for us.

    Went here before going to a play for brunch. This place is huge! It does not look that big from…read moreoutside. I had a reservation so we were seated right away. Service was okay but not great! It took a while for the waitress to acknowledge us. I ordered a coffee and the chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles were okay but needed more syrup or hot honey with them. I would have asked for more but the waitress never came back to check on us after the food came. Coffee was okay, but I wasn't offered a refill until we were done with our meal and getting our checks. $3.50 for 1 cup of black coffee is a bit much. When we got our check, we had to wait a while for the waitress to come back to split it for us, I always find it strange when they don't ask. Overall not a great or awful experience but I have def had better.

    Dinner was just okay this time. I've enjoyed all My other…read morevisits in the past but I ordered the ahi tuna for something lighter and it was fine, nothing memorable. My boyfriend had a salad. Unfortunately, we were seated at a dirty booth and spent the entire meal dealing with gnats, which was unexpected--especially in the middle of winter. We were the only table there that night, but between the dirty seating and the gnats, it completely killed the vibe. My boyfriend alone killed three of them, not to mention the one or two that got away. I only ate about half my meal before feeling grossed out. This is the first time I've truly disliked my experience here. Our server was great--he suggested dessert and drinks throughout the night and checked on us often. I did mention the gnats, but I don't think he understood the severity of the issue.

    We didn't know Carl's was cash-only before we went. Thank goodness we had cash!…read more The whole store is pretty small, with around 20 seats total on two separate counters. It has a real old-timey lunch counter feel. The service was great! Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. The food was really good! I'd definitely come back if I was in STL. I'm a pretty picky eater and this satisfied me. The smashburger was great! Cooked well and not burnt at all. The fries weren't my favorite. They were okay but I think switching to a different brand or frying them in something else would be better and more flavorful; as it was, they were pretty bland and inoffensive. The coke was great too, with teeny tiny ice like all good diners have. The shake wasn't something I'd order again. We ordered chocolate and it tasted like milk with a little chocolate syrup thrown in. Onion rings were good too! A super fun stop! I'd come back!

    Just about as perfect as you could ask, for the diner feel, Smashburger. I went as plain Jane as…read moreyou could with a double Smashburger with just some raw onions so I can get the full flavor of the burger, which had crispy edges just like it should. I got my first root beer in probably two decades because it was in a barrel. I think you're meant to have root beer at a place where they serve it out of a barrel. About as authentic as you could get and I really liked it check out the pics.
