    Sitting area
    Jon G.

    Okay this here is some fire chicken! There's a little area in front of the registers for sitting down and eating at. The service was friendly too I'll definitely have to come back. The honey hot catfish was my favorite even though it was a little crispy

    Fish & shrimp combo
    Maryssa D.

    Me and my girls went to have lunch on 314 day and we made the right decision! The food was delicious and fresh. Wait time was less than 15 minutes. Food came out fresh and hot. The staff were WONDERFUL and a pleasure to be around. Fish was fried perfect along with the shrimp. Will be back! 10/10

    Great fried chicken - crispy and fresh. The honey hot sauce was unique and really tasty. Outside courtyard had lots of seating.

    Honey Hot 8 piece

    Terrific services, the ladies at the register had positive attitudes and it was just about time to close no rushing or anything I really appreciated that. Not to mention the food was excellent!

    Wow. Is all I can say !

    If I could give 5+ stars I would this place is awsome, I actually walked passed this place and had to double, TriPple back, Yes this is the place I seen on "Door Dash" definitely took my chance today.. Walked in greeted by the cashier at the front, placed me a order of 4 wings, !! I asked which is your best sauce ? He replied our signature honey hot, that's what I order 4 wings two honey hot. I definitely wanted to try the wings plain.... But some how I had gotten five 3 honey hot and 2 regular wings ! Let me tell you I actually stayed to dine, This Food from the fries to the wings, to the sauce to the little piece of bread Mane all I can say when you in need of some good wings and some kripsy fries, Like you use to fry as a kid you come here... Thanks for the awsome experience didn't seem so huge but it was BIG for me, and definitely appreciate the hospitality and the great food and cooking techniques!!! This place is a winner !!

    Another 10/10! I thought the last time couldn't top the last time but it did. The lemon pepper shrimp with honey hot on the side is my go to. I love it. The people are nice and welcoming. Do try! Plenty of street parking available outside.

    Peach cobbler. It was just okay

    I loved this spot! Let's start with the customer service. The employee at the register was so humble that he didn't want any personal recognition in my review. I always appreciate when an employee offers the indecisive help with making decisions. The food was made to order and so scrumptious. We will be back next time we visit St. Louis.

    4 piece chicken tender combo
    Ana P.

    I had this restaurant saved to try for awhile and I'm glad I finally did. My default meal is chicken tenders; their lemon pepper ones are delicious! Fries were not over seasoned and for the first time I tasted a roll that was soft. Even with a 25 minute drive home the food was still hot. I'll definitely be back.

    I was finally able to try Vails Brothers after hearing great things over the years. I got the 6 piece jumbo fried shrimp meal that comes with fries and a roll. The shrimp had the potential to be GREAT (I could tell it was seasoned well) but it was fried TOO hard, so it lost all its flavor and it was hard to eat. Disappointing! I will come back and try the shrimp again and also the catfish. They continue to open locations and have expanded to Houston, Texas, so I am sure it is worth a second try.

It was more than just a few minutes before a server came over. We ordered cocktails and then got serious about choosing our meals. We eventually decided and placed our orders. We got pretzel bites and cheese to start and it was fine. Then our food came out! I think most of us got burgers. I know someone got the fried chicken sandwich and said it was good. The smash burgers were good. About half of the fries were good and the rest were overcooked. The cocktails were good! Our service could have been a little better. Our server was somewhat efficient. She wasn't overly friendly or attentive. Maybe they were short staffed but I don't know. I just know that service was lacking. There are many things to look at on the walls! If you're into taxidermy, you'll love looking at We'll probably end up back there sometime.

Coming to this Columbia, Illinois hot spot and enjoying the atmosphere you can see why. Be prepared to seeing it totally packed on the weekends. I wanted to see the two bartenders I personally consider the stars of the venue Abigail and Kassidy. As beautiful and talented as you obviously see they are it's their guest service and personalities win the day. Two sweeter and more genuine individuals I challenge you to find anywhere. I'm going to be 100% honest I actually do get nervous coming into see them. It's hard to imagine seeing two angels on Earth. All the girls rock and provide premier service. I lived in St Louis for 14 years and I must say this would definitely be my spot if I still lived in the area. With Abigail and Kassidy it's like coming back and seeing friends I've known. I get that impression it's their style with all guest. I travel the country and these two are my two favorites anywhere. I'd highly recommend if you're a first timer you request them. They're hard working and get their business done. And tip the well!!! They deserve it. Thank you. Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida.

Despite our large group, the server was excellent, providing friendly and efficient service throughout the entire evening. This is a pizza place, and I have Celiac Disease, so I did not eat this visit. However, my friends enjoyed hot appetizers and cheesy pizza slices. I was extremely impressed by the cocktail menu. I decided on a traditional margarita with a salt rim. It was great, good price too. They have many margarita flavors and add-ons to choose from. In terms of rims, you can pick from nothing, salt, sugar or tahin rim. There was plenty of free parking on the street near the restaurant. Bathrooms are a little outdated but clean and working just fine. The reason we came here for trivia was that the trivia really moves along since it's a weeknight. It was extremely well-attending with many teams (great friendly competition). The questions and rounds moved quickly and efficiently, starting easy and becoming very challenging. I would definitely return!

I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.

Love the new cocktail bar they added. It take away some seating however people can eat at bar too. We ordered cocktails while waiting for our table which took only a few minutes. My husband tried their version of an old-fashioned which used both bourbon and rum!!! It was good but he said definitely a "sipper". They have a full bar and much better wine selection now too. Starters for us were a bowl of wonton soup and the spring rolls. Both were good but rolls a little rubbery to me. The highlight of our meals was charbroiled pork. We are not capable of ordering anything else. Ha. I get 15.04 and he got 15.03 which includes an egg roll. Divine food!! The people who own this place are so friendly. Our waiter was also very nice.
