    I mean it's White Castle. You can't beat it. It's not available everywhere so when I get a chance to stop by, I make it a point to. Never disappointed at all. Not the best location, but open 24/7!

    It's the Castle! White Castle! You either like them or you don't. Typically the issue is getting old, dried out meat, which sucks. This visit I opted for the double cheeseburger sliders. Took awhile after ordering but today I struck white castle gold and got fresh, hot sliders with hot fries. This location is notorious for slow service, but typically your food is fresh, and tasty. Long live the original slider!

    The staff here has the worst attitude of any restaurant, fast food or otherwise, I have been in since I started writing reviews. They are all totally apathetic. Thank goodness the food was decent. They did not offer any dipping sauces for the chicken rings...in fact, they did not offer anything. Also, they should lose another point simply for having a Coca Cola freestyle machine. That is the dumbest, bottle-neck maker in restaurant history.

    Just so you know

    It's 24 hour fast food next to downtown... The place was remodeled a few years ago & usually pretty clean. The employees usually get the food & change right. There is no wonder the the place is always busy. Yes, sometimes bums are in the parking lot or in the restaurant. However, for the general idea of "the show must go on" is accepted here. Could it be better? Yes. I could also eat healthier & spends more $. Side-note is the cool create a flavor Coca-Cola machine. Why they put it in this location is beyond me.

    So I have eaten the frozen White Castles for a very long time and I finally had the chance to stop in. I am so very very glad I did. Those little nuggets of happiness were just as good as I was hoping. We ordered about 30 of the White Castles with cheese between the 4 of us along with a few Smokey Joes and a Chicken and Waffle sandwich. I won't forget the fries either, they needed a bit of salt but they rounded out the meal. Those burgers are just pure happiness, the meat juice saturated bottom bun with those perfectly caramelized onions could keep me going for days. The nice thing about eating at a White Castle is the burgers come with pickles. I tried a few with different condiments and honestly they are awesome just the way they come, no Mayo or mustard needed. The Smokey Joe is a pint sized sloppy joe with smoked cheddar, a bit salty and a bit sweet. It was a decent sloppy Joe if burgers or chicken are not what's for dinner. The chicken & waffle sandwich was really good as well. Slightly sweet with a bit of saltiness from the bacon, it was overall a good sandwich. I would need about 6 of them to fill me up so I will stick with the classics which are way cheaper. I will definitely be back to this fine establishment. This location is right by the St Louis Arch and has some super nice people working there. Stop in and say high, your belly will thank you

    Just as I expected...

    Waiting at the drive through window, my friends and I notice that all their reviews are about people trying this because of the Harold and Kumar movie... we were not an exception. There was no one ahead of us and no one behind us. We ordered maybe 6 bacon cheese burgers and one impossible burger. The bacon cheese burgers were terrible and we waited about 15 minutes in the car for it. The impossible burger was a bit better but there are so many fast food options out there this is probably more of a gimmick chain. Sorry but soggy buns and low quality ingredients does not do justice (I'd probably pick the Costco frozen burgers over these). If you're curious, be curious to be disappointed.

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up

A guy from my running group asked me which way it was, and I was like, "Uh, I think it's that way." A few places on this strip all have similar awnings. I thought I was lucky finding such a good spot. By the time I was done with my run, maybe an hour later, all of Clayton was an absolute ghost town. It makes me wonder what they'd have to put here to get people to visit Clayton during the evening, a 7 Brew? Inside is more along the lines of a bar, with a number of beers on tap and decor that may have been purchased from a Kohl's. I appreciated the way they had the beers on tap written on the wall in ginormous fonts, and I'm sure the elderly are similarly appreciative. Sometimes you ask these waiters what beers they have on tap and they act like they're doing you a favor by listing them. I asked this hillbilly they've got waiting tables at the Syberg's over on Dorsett what beers they have on tap, and he just said they have 30 of them. Uh, thanks? I wonder if he counted them. I went with the 4 Hands Incarnation, which I have at least once a week, because I get it for free. It seemed less "high gravity" than it does when you get it in the tall cans.Hmm... Usually, my move at these burger places is to order a bacon cheeseburger or a specialty burger that has bacon on it. 5 Star had such a burger listed first on their menu, making my choice easy enough. I toyed with the idea of ordering the Green Chile Cheeseburger, but not seriously. I wasn't sure what the green chiles would taste like, and what if they turned out to be gross? The Blue Ribbon Burger comes with bacon, port-braised onions and Gorgonzola cheese, along with LTOP. No, that's not a typo. You get thinly sliced red onions in addition to the port-braised onions. It feels weirdly generous of them, even though they're just onions, and all the fresh toppings are of a seemingly high quality. I was more ambivalent about the toppings specific to the Blue Ribbon Burger. I didn't dislike them, but I was less impressed by them than I would have expected. The bacon was good, but it was in crumbles and I think I would have liked it more if it were in thick, crispy strips. No Diddy. The cheese was either not flavorful enough or in not abundant enough quantity to be much of a factor. The onions, on the other hand, provided a nice flavor kick--less tart than I expected, more along the lines of the onions in a french onion soup. The fries were kinda whatever. They were good, being french fries and all, but not as gourmet as the menu would have you think. And they don't give you very many of them, if you get the regular serving. Weirdly, the regular serving doesn't cost much money, by Brandon-era standards, but the serving-size is decidedly skimpy. Why not just charge a normal amount and give you a normal quantity? Even the large won't exactly break the bank. I went with the small because I just wanted to see what they were like, for the sake of citizen food journalism. You're welcome.
