After an excessively long wait in the rental car queue (despite having reservations), this was one of the few joints still open for food. The food itself was good, but not great. Solid value and flavors were present but not mind-blowing. The bartender and the ambiance of the joint, however: world class. Service was very personalized for each party and yet still attentive of each persons' needs. We saw a patron (seemed like a regular) arrive in a Burger King costume+mask; that, along with the various posters and flyers on the walls, made it apparent that there is a strong community built around this watering hole. Off the top of my head, I believe they host karaoke and trivia, among other events. From the perspective of a traveler passing through, I would highly recommend this place if you're a local or soon-to-be! read more

Had a few hours to kill before a flight and stopped in here. Don't be discouraged by the exterior...this is a great place! Greeted when we came in and sat at the bar. Had some sports on and a screen of trivia playing. We both had a beer and then ordered food. Catfish is delicious here and I was surprised. Wife had a burger and it was tasty as well. If you are looking for a place to hang out before returning your rental car or flying out of STL this is the place. read more

My dive bar radar led me to Yesterday's on an overnight layover by the airport and what a gem of a local watering hole/restaurant this place turned out to be I enjoyed the fried catfish dinner the light panko style crusty breading rocked, the homemade cole slaw was delicious, and they went the distance to butter and season the corn . Much mahalo to Lindsey for taking good care of this solo sojourner sitting at her bar read more

Yesterday's - Catfish Dinner - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

My first time there, to attend a book party in the back room. The food was delicious (especially the gooey butter cake), the servers were all cool and capable. The atmosphere was your friendly neighborhood bar and grill. It's a shame I live so far away; it seems like a great place to take a friend. read more

Delicious home-cooked food. Delicious wings & pizza. We rarely order dessert but the deep fried gooey butter cake is hard to pass up. That alone is worth the drive. If you get near the airport, I would definitely suggest eating there. Nice atmosphere friendly people, good drinks & delicious, reasonable food. And I understand they serve food until about 10 PM. That's pretty amazing. read more

I had to best most positive experience at this fine establishment!!!! Had a terrible experience with Grub Hub and Nicole went above and beyond to help me with this situation Definitely will be ordering there again!! I suggest everyone t give them a try!! THANKS AGAIN NICOLE read more

How to start this? Well, firstly I attended this on 04/19/24 about early five pm. I was really looking forward to coming here to see what improvements and what changed with the new owners. Ultimately I was let down BIG TIME. I was really looking forward to making a good review but I couldn't find anything to say good about it. Firstly, I placed my order for a fried buffalo chicken sandwich only pickles and a side of cheese fries. Which came out to $14.84 after tax if I didn't add cheese it would have been $14.34 and remind you this is without a drink. So it is on the expensive side. What was I disappointed by? 1. Timing. It was slow in the building only two couples sitting at the table and 1 person at the bar drinking soda, I placed my order maybe around 4:30ish and it wasn't ready until what my receipt reads is 5:21. Which is almost an hour just for a sandwich and a side of fries! 2. Pricing The quality and size of the chicken wasn't that good to be worth over $10. It was thin and lacked of the buffalo sauce; the bun was quite hard itself. The flavor was not there but the chicken just didn't match the pricing it's listed at! Along side the fries were crispy which is a good thing but just to do a tiny bit of shredded cheese disappointed me heavily. 3. Random former employees. There was a guy that used to work there that was just all over the place going into the kitchen, he got a shot drank it went to the pool than told the lady that he didn't drink it so he could get a free shot, he was whispering things to an older guy at the bar, and I get it you knew the employees and all but it's a business at the end of the day. But as I said I was looking forward to this but was let down by multiple things. I probably will not be back not recommend this place to anyone. And it's upsetting especially since I live walking distance. read more

i just landed from texas coming from cali been doing some traveling for a certain tv show going around checking places we could recommend. so let me say from the moment i walked in it was quiet and clean but the bartender was an older lady and she wasn't too welcoming, she looked bothered from me walking in there were only 2 ppl at the bar. so i sat down introduced myself kindly, she didn't seem to care so i got a beer and a shot then i proceeded to look at the menuto, the lady next to me tried to order a beer but the bartender ignored her. a group of gentlemen came in and they seemed like regulars because they got all the attention, i finally order food after about 20 min there were specials of the day she didn't bother to tell me, either way i got a pork steak it was covered in bbq sauce it screamed st louis all in all my food was a 5 out of ten i also paid for the juke box but the bartender continued to lower the volume to barely even hearing it so i wasted $20 .. either way on to the next stop im not giving up on st. louis yet read more

I was craving a cheeseburger with bleu cheese. i did not want a fancy restaurant or drive too far. Well lo and behold not only did I enjoy my burger and crispy onion rings, but the bartender Drea was very friendly and on point the whole time. the bar customers are just as friendly for a relaxing evening in my own neighborhood. thank you Yestersatz for a great dining experience. Drea great amaretto sour with my favorite NERDS candy! what a twist! read more

NEW Owner Michael recommended this Blu Cheese burger with Cajun seasoning was awesome! The Toasted Ravioli hits the spot as well. read more

The new owners of this St. Louis neighborhood bar have done it right - keep the classic Yesterday's ambiance while adding menu updates and new specials. If you loved this place before, you'll be thrilled with the friendly familiarity. We had wings, perfectly cooked-to-order burgers, and they have some of the BEST fries in the area! If you're flying through Lambert International Airport, or just a local looking for a snack and beer after work, check out Yesterday's! (Did I mention the pool tables and party room? It's a great place to watch the game with friends - there's plenty of seating for a crowd.) LOVE this place! read more

I am hoping today's visit was a misstep and not the way things will be, I am getting to like this bar but today's visit was not enjoyable. I got there about 1130 and planned on meeting my wife and one of her client's for lunch. There was a total of six people at the bar when I got there and after sitting about ten minute's the bartender came over and asked how many and what I would l like to drink. I ordered beer and informed here there would be two separate checks. I then asked about a specific type of bourbon and Pam simply said no and walked away. Pity I really wanted some bourbon this afternoon so those sales were lost to another bar. My guests arrived and ordered. Two of us asked to hold the lettuce and tomato but they were on the sandwiches when they arrived. Having done my time managing a restaurant I am very cognizant of food cost and try not to waste food. My "fried chicken" sandwich was grilled and both the cheese and bacon were cold. The final issue the bills were not separated and when I asked Pam about this she let out a loud sigh and when my wife went to pay her bill, getting the receipt was hard and then when we asked about her change we were given six dollars instead of the seven that should have been returned. I hope Pam liked that dollar because that was the last money / tip I will spend on her shifts. Here's a tip for everyone go later in the day. Seems like things run better then. read more

Nice place play pool or throw darts, got TouchTunes so can play your fave tunes...bartender Barbara was very attentive and nice! Didn't try food as got there for just some early after work drinks and pool. read more

Good, relaxed sports bar environment. Good bar food. Fun staff! Even throughout all the different owners it's remained a lot of he classic ambiance read more

Stopped her for lunch after landing in St Louis to visit family in MO. Was looking for a place close to the airport. When we arrived and seated ourselves the waitress/bartender took a while before she brought us menus. After getting our drinks and taking our order of salads it took about 45 minutes to get our food. There was only one other group of people there and a few at the bar with others who came in to the bar then went to the pool tables. The waitress/bartender was doing a good job serving the bar and the tables but the kitchen was slow. After the other table finally got their food it still took awhile for them to get our salads. Hubby's buffalo chicken salad was okay but my chef salad had too much onion and meats were not cut through or evenly. I think if they had more staff in the front and kitchen food service might be faster read more

Food was much better than expected. The staff were very friendly. Just not so sure about the neighborhood, a lot of police activity the following night in the parking lot. read more

What a hidden gem for a casual sports bar! The burger was one of the best ever, the beer was cold, and more than reasonable prices. It's not fancy, but you can't go wrong. Easy access from the St. Louis airport hotels. Don't skip the Fried Butter Cake Sundae for dessert! read more

I have been going to this for 20 years. And the food has been 1 of my top five bar & grill too. Everyone always ask what do I recommend. And tell just pick what you that's all good food. The have a daily lunch and dinner special that will leave you full. read more

The food is amazing the service is very mid the establishment is nice and clean and the owners are very good people it's a very nice place right next to the Saint Louis airport and if you don't want to travel far this is you're place to go read more

Went here tonight was greeted with a super nice waitress named Jamie. Everything was great until the manager showed up named Chris. He was so drunk grabbing on tables to steady himself and slurring. He smelled so bad of alcohol and why he stopped at our table I have no idea. Maybe he couldn't make it any farther. Anyway all was good until him. Our experience went Frim a 4 star to a 1 he was disgusting! read more

Always had a great food experience there! Service is always great and good vibe in the bar.

Great food. The true diamond in the rough! If you're near the airport and need a great pizza or breakfast This is your place!!! Great owner and staff. The menu is diverse and well done! read more

Very friendly staff. Neighborhood bar atmosphere. Wide variety of offerings. I had a layover, thanks Southwest hitched a ride to the airport Hilton and walked 15 minutes to get here. I'm glad I did. read more

If you're thinking, "what the hell was Justin doing at a bar in St. Louis?" I can promise you I was wondering the same damn thing. Flying back to Los Angeles from Chicago after Christmas had me connecting through St. Louis which I'm sure would have been fantastic except for the gazillion fucking people who were bumped off flights with me due to bad weather around the country. No better way to wrap up holiday times than a 24 hour stint in St Louis, that's what I always (sarcastically) say. So I did what any self respecting lush does: booked a hotel room, dropped off my shit, and immediately found the closest bar to drink down the hyper-irritation I had from sitting in an airport for 15 hours. Not just any airport, but the St Louis airport where two separate restaurants tried to argue with me that chicken stock was in fact vegetarian so needless to say I didn't eat anything other than a bag of chips all day. My hotel told me about Yesterday's and I figured why not, I certainly wasn't going to sit on my ass in the hotel room, drinks and food sounded spot on. End result? Yesterday's was... interesting, in a good way. It's pretty much what I would expect for a rural Midwest bar; greasy bar food, cheap drinks, music that hurt my ears, and very friendly people. I sat at this spot for maybe an hour and a half and the bartender was outgoing and chatty, keeping me company. The regulars told me all about where to get the best food while in town and then talked football with me. All in all I've had plenty of bar visits far worse than this one. I have to say thank you, they made my layover a lot less painful. I got a little buzz, had a little conversation, and then headed back to my room to completely destroy a cheeseless pizza from Dominos. Like completely and utterly destroyed it, within 3 minutes. I have to say for being on the completely opposite side of the country from where I live, Yesterday's did a pretty good job of making me feel at home. I'll take good conversation with chill people over a pompous lounge or club any day of the week. read more

I was staying the night at the Quality Inn down the road, my flight was at 6:10am the next morning for home-sweety-home (So Cal). So my coworker and I had about 12 hours to kill and we found this place. Great dive bar that has cheap prices: domestic bottled beer $2 and Jameson Whiskey on the rocks $3.50. You can order a 6-pack on ice in those metal pails. They serve food but I didn't really see or taste any of it to be able to review that. The clientele seemed to be regulars because they all knew each other and after they (and I) were on our 12th drink, we knew them too. They treated us like regulars; the older ladies calling us "honey" or "sweety" and the older men hugging us and giving life advice. It was awesome!! It's a "come as you are" atmosphere and like I said, a great dive bar. We almost missed our flight that morning by 5 minutes, that's how bad ass it was!! read more

Yesterday's - $2 a beer! - American Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Great food in this nice little bar and grill with a small town feel to it. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the urgency to take someone's order and check in, other than that I would recommend to my friends and family if they lived closer. read more

A dive with some redeeming qualities. Clean place with friendly and good service. It's mostly pub food... Burgers, onions rings, chili.... And strong drinks. The bar area has been packed both times I've been in but the dining section has been dark, quiet and empty. Lovely group of locals to talk to and a few nice tvs. It's pretty loud and doesn't seem like a place to watch a game, but I haven't been here when a local game was on, so I could be wrong. This is just a laid back place to go if you're getting drinks and only want some snacks to pick at. I wouldn't say come here with an appetite since the food has been meh at best. read more

Nice hole in the wall bar. Extremely strong drinks good food. The tangy sauce for the wings is completely different.

Great service, nice people. There were two of us girls, no one looked at us funny or treated us poorly as newcomers. It was a little off the beaten path, but is nearby the airport and very reasonably priced, especially if you catch happy hour! read more

Cold beer fast service good food fair price What's not to like It's not fancy because it's a local bar I had the special open face roast beef mashed and corn and 3 cold beers out the door with tip 20 bucks read more

We were pleasantly surprised here, nice menu for lunch with friendly service. The food was ok, my colleagues really enjoyed their burgers.

Yesterdays is one of our favorite bars in St. Louis. If you are a fan of dive bars, this place has it all - cheap (and stiff) drinks, good bar food, Touch Tunes, friendly staff, and entertaining company. It is also close to the airport. So if you have time to kill before a flight, swing by Yesterday's. You won't be disappointed. read more

For bar food this is an excellent place. I initially tried the Pork Tenderloin sandwich and liked it so much that I pretty much stuck with it everytime I came here. Some of my friends had different items on the menu including the burger and they all seemed to like it. read more

Great service! Outside seating was available. I had the salad with grilled chicken which was tasty. Could have used a few more vegetables but everything was fresh. read more

Friendly staff, good prices, and delicious bar food. We went during the Cards game on a Friday night and showed up about half way through the game and had no problem finding a table for 4 right away. They run a food special of 50¢ boneless wings and toasted raviolis during Cardinals games so we all got an order of boneless wings with tangy sauce (hot sauce mixed with thousand island) and an order of French Fries and we enjoyed every bite of both of them. Fries had a light coating of flour or beer batter on them but it was just the right amount. We'll definitely be back read more

My St. Louis buddy likes this place, and he is a longtime concierge with experience in much larger cities than St. Louis. His taste embraces low brow, Americana, earthy even, and I can almost write my review solely on the basis of what I know about him. If I hadn't been here myself. You'll find friendly bartenders, fair prices, a guaranteed bar stool, and a decent place to have a drink near the St. Louis airport. read more

I've worked here for 10 years and love it, great neighborhood bar right down the road from the airport. You never know who will be in there! Haha but one thing you will know is the food is fresh and delicious and the drinks are always stiff read more

Similarly to the other yelpreviews, I too was layed over for an extra nite in St. Louis due to a flight cancellation. I asked my hotel where a good place would be to belly up and drink my worries away and they suggested Yesterday's. The place is awful. It smells, the food stinks and the people are weird. But that is exactly what made it awesome. If you are coming here for a fine dining experience you are more than likely an idiot. The beer is cheap, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is a must for any person who likes a dive bar. Thank you for making a bad situation a little better, Yesterday's! read more

Decent place, but nothing special. Mix of locals and business travelers from Flight Safety. I would prefer to give 2.5 starts, but... Food is actually alright; reasonable prices, half-pound burgers, good fries. Horrible beer selection, maybe five drafts, four macro light beers and one local, few bottle selections. Pool table in separate room crowded with locals. Service was mediocre. Started decent, but waited 20 minutes for a bill, just sat there with no sign of the server for quite a while... read more

Some people said that there food sucks. But there wrong. A had lunch with a friend and her family. They even said that the food was great. And kids ate all there lunch. So that means if young kids eat there meal the food has to be good so give it a try read more
