    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.

Service was great at both the counter and the table. I had the Split & Melt which was delicious. Crispy smash patties, gooey cheese, buttery bread. I also opted to add heirloom tomato to it which added a nice brightness to it. My mom ordered the double, which she said was amazing. We ordered a variety of sides to share. The mac and cheese was amazing, the onion rings were flavorful and crispy, and the fries were also very well seasoned and crispy. Overall, everything was a 10/10.

Price: All together, with a dollar tip, I paid $27 and change, which to me is incredibly pricey for counter service. $2 for a dipping sauce is steep, and for a small container. Next time? I'd skip the dipping sauce and homemade lemonade to save $7. I'll be back but not running to pay this much again. The storefront: the direct out front, small parking lot was packed and people were going into the gated lot to find parking. Only one person working the counter when you first walk in which lead to a long line at the dinner rush that seemed to be moving pretty slow. We got in before the rush and got our food quickly after. Staff were kind and very helpful! Fairly clean with the food runners circling tables often to remove trash.

I'm disappointed that it took me so long to make my way here. They won me over with the tiny dedicated parking lot. At my big age, difficult parking situations are a turn off and I will go home if I can't get reasonable parking. I was able to snag a space in the lot and headed in. The space is a bit dark with rich sage, brass, and terracotta. There are several hanging plants making it an inviting place. The bar has plenty of comfortable seating and cozy tables if you decide to bring some friends. Caleb was our server during our visit. He was an absolute delight. He made excellent cocktail suggestions. He looked after our group without being overly doting. Just a gem of a human. We tried approximately 9 cocktails during our visit. Did I mention we were at brunch! I highly recommend the peach bite and the Side Car. Every cocktail is thoughtfully made and well executed. They offer a small brunch menu along with the regular menu. I usually always get chilaquiles when they are available. But today the ruby trout and grits sounded perfect. This dish was amazing!! The trout was thin with crispy skin. The grits were creamy and delicious. The dish is topped with a house made radish pico and salsa macha. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich that was paired with the crispiest breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The burger and fries are also a good option. The seasoning on the fries is next level. The brunch menu has a sticky toffee roll that is a perfect size for sharing or not. Salty sweet fork tender cinnamon roll. Lastly, the deviled eggs were a group favorite. I am a big fan of Passenger Chili Crisp. If you are unfamiliar please look them up! It's hands down the best chili crisp I've ever had. It's locally made here in STL and can also be found in several dishes at restaurants around town. The eggs were creamy with the right amount of tang from the mustard. The chili crisp made these deviled eggs easily top five best I've ever had! Planning to stop in again soon for happy hour with more friends

The bar itself is unpretentious and welcomes everyone. While I was dining at the bar, the rest of the diners were a widely diverse mixture. Witnessing such a vast mixture of people, adds a positive twist to the vibe of the bar. The menu is simple. They focus on what they do best and that's why their smash burger is one of the best. Being a firecracker myself, I ordered the Firecracker Smashburger. It's a single patty, with Pepper Jack Cheese, Tomato-Onion-Jalapeno Relish, Drizzled with a Tangy Fire Ranch and served on a Martin's Potato Roll. The burger was juicy and had those crispy edges that a smash burger is known for. My favorite cheese is Pepper Jack, so that was a big plus for me. The relish added that extra kick that made it a true, Firecracker. I can't enjoy a burger without fries and Jack offers long skinny fries. They had a crispy shell and a soft hot inside. They were simply seasoned with just the right amount of salt. I was impressed that the ketchup was 100% Natural. That gets a big thumbs up. When enjoying a burger and fries, a nice cold beer is always the adult beverage of choice. JN offers a small variety of craft beers on draft and three popular Anheuser-Busch products. I enjoyed a Gumballhead from 3 Floyds Brewing. An American Pale Wheat is a perfect lunchtime beer. The bartenders are personable and offer warm service. I'm definitely coming back the next time I crave a smashburger.

The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us.

She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful.

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.
