Lent Fish Fry
Steven B.

It was Good Friday, it was past lunchtime and I was hungry. As I cruised down Big Bend, I remembered this VFW Post got great raves in a talk thread about being good. As I drove by, I noticed they started at Noon, so I made a quick right turn into their lot. As I entered their banquet hall I could see they were set up cafeteria style. A young lady greeted me and said she'd take my order over at the table she was standing at. They offered both, Cod and Catfish with the typical fish fry sides. When Catfish is available, that is my go to. I also cannot resist fries and Hush Puppies with my order of fried fish. If you're going "fried", you might as well go all the way. My order was packaged to go, but I asked if I could go have a beer in the bar and eat my food. They assured me I could and informed me, that they were open to the public and I could come anytime I wanted. They were proud to say, they were like a dive bar with good cheap drinks. When I went into the bar, I was impressed with the number of local craft beers they had on tap. I went with a 4 Hands - Single Speed and the bartender informed me since I was eating, I'd get it for only $4. The ladies informed me to that they may be doing a fish fry once a month, so to keep alert for the announcement. I'm going to pay attention to any type of food event they have - I had a good time and experience. I'll be back? - Yeah, my catfish was good and they were very welcoming. When: April 19, 2019 Why: Good Friday Fish Fry

Fish tacos with cabbage and guac
Mindi A.

The Post has recently renovated and they are now able to serve food! On Tues they have Taco Tuesday where they barbecue pork, chicken, and fish and have fresh made guac, cabbage slaw, and other toppings. As of last visit (Nov 10, 2020), the tacos were also super affordable at $2 a piece! They also have quesadillas and Mexican style corn. You can order your meal with corn tortillas for gluten free experience (fish tacos are not GF, but the rest can be). On Fridays during Lent, they host a fish fry. They are also working to add other meals on Thurs. so far they have had a Polish style kielbasa and potatoes, a meatloaf, and beef stew on different weeks. As always, there is the bar. With the renovations, the interior no longer smells like cigarettes. They moved smokers to an covered outdoor space. The beer is well priced and surprisingly good selection with your standard AB products alongside some local craft brews-- UCBC and 4 Hands were on tap on our last visit. When the weather is nice, they do have a tables and chairs outdoors and socially distanced. Inside, they have limited seating. For food service, we have been able to sit at the tables in the hall and be socially distanced.

Walk in and there are plenty of tables, a couple of gathering areas, standing room narrow tables, an outdoor area, and a room off to the side. I went for the Logboat Dark Matter which I have had before in a can and wanted to try on draft. I enjoyed it very much. You know what is great?! Since they don't have food, you can bring it in yourself. Both times our group has met up here Katie's Pizza is the choice and its in the same parking lot. You can't go wrong with Katie's. Bartender is on the ball and friendly, TV's all around, not too loud so you can talk. Wednesday nights they have Trivia and I stayed for the first round, it was very current for the current event category. Get a pizza from Katie's, go here, have a beer, have fun!

This time the food was hot and fresh, service was good and we really enjoyed our meal. The fries green beans and the horse radish sauce were very good. The hot wings were good but nothing special or distinct. They also offer another kind of trashed and baked wing but I wasn't feeling as adventurous to try it at the time. The bacon cheeseburger was nicely cooked and juicy. Prices were fairly reasonable.

The atmosphere was fine--lively but not overwhelming, and it worked well for a laid-back night out. Our server was friendly and attentive, which honestly stood out as one of the better parts of the experience. Food-wise, it was just okay. We tried a mix of things--tater tots, wings (both sauced and dry), pizza, and chicken tenders. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. The wings had good flavor but weren't anything special, and the pizza was pretty standard bar-style. Portions were solid, though, and it's definitely the kind of place where you can find something everyone will eat. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a casual, no-pressure place to hang out, watch a game, and grab some familiar bar food--but I wouldn't go out of my way for the food itself.

Lively atmosphere, bartenders were welcoming and interactive. We ordered the Hot Cheese curds as an appetizer, and I got the Obscura as me beer of choice. Not going to lie, the cheese curds were as advertised! They were hot! Not so much that I couldn't handle but don't take them lightly, they are good. They came drizzled with a good ranch. The beer was great, especially with the hot cheese curds. Ordered the Friday Fish Sando with no cheese. Came out in a timely manner, large and crispy! It was messy in the best way. Crispy, beer battered cod, lettuce, and house made tarter. It was juicy on the inside with none of the batter mush you can sometimes get with fried fish, loved the house made tarter, all-around great sandwich. The fries were on point, too. Crispy but not greasy. Great space, friendly staff, good food!

We enjoyed hanging out there for a few drinks. It has a dark, moody, comfy feel. I tried to take pictures but it was pretty dark and they didn't turn out well. I had the "Yes We Have One" - it's an espresso martini. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but it was good and I had more than one so it couldn't have been too bad! The other three enjoyed their drinks as well. I'd definitely go back and have a few cocktails in a cozy little area!

Arrived around 7:30 on a Friday night and the next available reservation wasn't until 10:30/10:45. There are about 5-6 dart stations throughout the restaurant that accommodate different group sizes. The seating was open so after roaming a bit cozied into a booth behind the bar where a tv was near by to watch the basketball game. From entrance to exit, everyone was friendly and warm. From my vantage point I observed all of the employees working together to make sure drinks were served quickly, food orders came out hot and guests' needs were met. The cocktail and mocktail was delicious, the lobster elote with seasoned tortillas was very flavorful and entrees did not disappoint.

I don't play darts so I have zero skill here, but, with the plethora of games, there is fun to be found. I was definitely throwing from the "Rookie" line, but it didn't matter, we still had a good time! It was a little cramped but there were quite a few of us in there so understandable. With this private booth, we had a selection of appetizers, a dessert tower, and unlimited booze. Of the appetizers, the buffalo chicken sliders were my favorite and the desserts (cannoli, cream puffs, double-chocolate cookies to name a few) were surprisingly good! The bar staff working that evening were pleasant and accommodating, ensuring we all had a drink in one hand and a plate of food within arms' reach. All-in-all, I had a fun time at Flight Club St. Louis, I'd come back for a few rounds of darts and drinks!

I came for a HH and enjoyed three different cocktails. My first was a Gold Rush. It's basically a Bees Knees with Vodka instead of Gin. It was light and refreshing, making it a great start. The second cocktail was one of my all-time favorites, a Old Fashioned. I can honestly say, it was one of the best, if not the absolute best one I have ever had. I finished the HH with a Espresso Martini. It was a good ending to my HH. They use a Cold Brew instead of true espresso, so it had a milder coffee taste. My nosh while drinking was a, Jalapeño Popper Dip. It was okay, in my opinion, it did not fit the description on the menu. Especially, the type of chips described. My friend ordered, The Small Board and it was fantastic and a good value. Our bartenders were friendly and as I stated earlier, they are masters of their skill. What stopped them from getting a 5 Star review, is simple. They do not offer a Martini on their Happy Hour Menu. I'm a Martini Man and that disappointed me, but it wont keep me away, it just keeps them short of 5 Stars.
