At Gus's we're all about the food. Gus's restaurants are low-key with a southern flare where you will hear soulful classics emitting from the jukebox. Many people call Gus's a "blues-infused southern eatery." At Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken we focus o

This place makes great hot chicken. The side dishes are basic. This no-frills restaurant is fine for eating in, but I prefer to order ahead, pick up and take home. Ordering ahead is key, because it can take up to 20 minutes to prepare your order. The prices are a little high for my taste, but the chicken keeps me coming back.

4 of us visited Chris pancake for breakfast. The restaurant was crowded with Sunday diners. We were seated promptly. The breakfast plates were really more than you can eat. Most came with eggs hash browns meats toast pancakes. The menu was extensive for breakfast. Our good was very good and very reasonable. I certainly will return

This place was packed on a Thursday evening so lucky we got last minute reservations. Our meals were absolutely outstanding. The Heirloom tomato and burrata cheese salad was my favorite, although my husband liked his local peach salad a lot. He declared his branzino fish dish the best he had ever had and I agreed after a couple of tastes on my part. My morel pasta was wonderful. The only downfall was since I have to be gluten free, the gluten free pastas are not as good as regular, but the dish itself was a treat. The flourless chocolate cake with ice cream was divine. Definitely would go to this restaurant when in the area next, but would try the tasting menu to get a wider sampling of this wonderful cuisine.

It's been five years since have been here. This time I was doing a girl friend's weekend and we had tickets to the St Louis Rep which was close by. Besides it's close proximity to the theater, it offered gluten free items and farm to market. I made reservations for Saturday night at 6 pm. The place offers a good wine list. A few of us took advantage of the "trio" flight special, 3 half glasses of wine ($14). There was a selection of three types of trio (white, red, and pinot) It was a nice way to taste three wine brands I wasn't familiar with. The food menu split up from small plates (hot and cold,& specials) the same with large plates. So there is price options that range for $5 for soups, salads) to $13.50 for small plates and $13.50-$26 for large plates.) We had to admit it was hard to choose, it all sounded delicious from the description. We did mention this to our waiter, and his response is "then you have to come back again to try something else." That did bring a grin to our faces. Our waiter was very good, he knew the menu, the specials listed and what wines they were out of. I ended up selecting the braised pork shoulder in apple cider with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. ($18.90). The large plate portions were generous and the flavors were there. Others had the Big Sky Blue Cheese Burger ($13.50) they seemed to like it very much. One of my friends ordered a small dish of spaghetti squash in an amazing cheese sauce. And of course we had to fit dessert in there somewhere. They had various baked goods (Chocolate Cherry Pie) and homemade ice cream. I had the ice cream which was apple cinnamon flavored. Highly recommend this place.Thanks so much for your detailed review Carol! There is so much more to be sampled, so I agree with your server - you should come back! :)Thanks again and happy new year,Kelly DonovanMarketing & Communications

A salmon dinner a few weeks ago was excellent, with the salmon cooked just right and an interesting side. So the Chef's Choice pizza this week sounded fine: Flyin' Hawaiian, with pineapple and prosciutto. What could go wrong?First, it took forever. Usually pizzas are out within minutes. At least I'd ordered a half salad - the vinaigrette listed wasn't exactly what arrived, but okay - and it was nearly finished when the pizza arrived, covered with melted mozzarella to the point of overkill. You couldn't see what was underneath.Its pineapple tasted good - but this chunk of pork? Surely not prosciutto - maybe leftover pork loin? There was absolutely no prosciutto in the whole pizza, just ¼'thick pieces of chewy meat. When I asked the server, she came back to say that "the chef says that that is our prosciutto."Weird. Fluid definition, obviously. (And the offer to make another wasn't a choice - who wants another of the same?)I was also unexpectedly disappointed in the beer offerings. Usually there are 6-7 outstanding local beers among the draft choices, always some good seasonals. No, not this visit.. Nothing special. They offered the usual big brewery choices, just on draft. What fun is that?So it's as though something happened and the TwinOak we enjoyed a few weeks ago disappeared, and a lesser-quality option was put in its place. All I can say is that the salad was fresh and that a half-order is more than sufficient. Which isn't the point of visiting a place like TwinOaks....Thank you for providing us feedback about your experience.

We love Greek food and eat it often in a lot of different areas and restaurants. Michael's has outstanding pastitsio, dolmades, spinach pie, chicken kebobs, and Greek salad. We use to head to this area to eat pasta on The Hill.....Michael's is a much better alternative to those places!

If you're looking for a great brewery tour, this is it! Its the most informative tour I've ever been on and entertaining. I went to it following Anheuser's and if you are looking to pick one or the other, I'd definitely do Schafly's. Their beer was on point and can't forget about their great food too! I'd get a flight so you can try a bunch! So if you're looking for a great afternoon out, seriously could not go wronget here.

I really enjoyed having nightcaps with my friends at this place.You definitely feel like you're in a German pub or timber lodge or Masonic gathering or something. The couches are old and rustic, as well as the tables and the setting. The walls are adorned with "olde" stuff. It's my kind of place!The people there seem to be mostly of the more chilled out persuasion. Bartenders seem pretty chill and friendly. I had a cocktail that I think was called Aztec Gold, which was basically like a dessert drink, very tasty. Perfect end to the night!For a brief period of time, there was a live pianist and bassist playing some jazzy tones. A wee bit pricey if you're just getting basic drinks.. so go for an interesting cocktail or unique brew.
