Carl's Drive In

Reviewed By Taylor B

Celebrating its 61st year under four ownerships, Carl's Drive-In at 9033 Manchester Road in Brentwood, Missouri, a southwest suburb of St. Louis, has been satisfying customers since car hops went out of style. With limited seating (16 seats) and limited parking, this Route 66-themed and cash only American diner specializes in hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, foot-long chili dogs and house-made root beer in frosted mugs made by the original IBC root beer recipe, which Carl Meyer bought in 1975. A gas station in 1918, the building was converted into a hot dog stand in 1943. Carl Meyer bought the property in 1959, named it Carl's Drive-In and offered curb service and a walk-up window. The car hop era ended in 1969. Frank Cunetto bought the business in 1987 and long-time customer Mike Franklin assumed ownership in 2015. The names have changed and the car hops are gone but Carl's root beer and the burgers and dogs are as delicious as ever. My wife and I managed to find a couple of seats for an early lunch. My wife had a bowl of chili and a fish fillet sandwich with fries. I had a bowl of chili and a double bacon cheeseburger with pickles, onion, mustard, lettuce, tomato and ketchup with fries. I only wish I had room for a foot-long chili dog. Naturally, we washed it all down with frosted mugs of root beer. And we capped it all off with two Ted Drewes concretes, chocolate and strawberry. It brings back fond memories of the 1950s, when drive-ins and car hops were the rage.

Robust's owner, Stanley, staffs more than one sommelier and it shows in both their wine selection and their service. Steve gave us excellent advice not only for our Napa/Sonoma trips, he's on point with wine/food pairings.Chad & Gus make expert wine recommendations; just share with them your preference and they'll match you up with a wine of your liking. Service is great from the entire staff and the patio is a nice place to enjoy your wine and food on a temperate day.Charcuterie plate is good and their cheeses are first-class. If you're vegan ask if they have the jack-fruit tacos. Excellent!Their corkage fee is excessive but they make up for it with their reasonable retail prices inside. All in all a good experience if you're looking for a good wine list.

Our most recent visit was for my mom-in-law's birthday. Everything was superb. If you love a great steak, this is the place. The t-bone is almost beyond description. Huge, and done to perfection. Don't forget the creamed spinach! The wait staff are excellent. It's almost like eating at home. No wonder - it is a house disguised as a restaurant! A bucket list steakhouse experience for sure. Enjoy!

I took my wife and 8 year old to eat a Mother's Day brunch here. The brunch was buffet style and had scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, biscuits and gravy, sausage, cheesy hashbrowns, grits (cajun and cheese) and a few other breakfast items. Also on the buffet was catfish, smoked fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, rib tips, pulled pork, and a few other items. The food was VERY good. I was impressed. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I didn't care much for the catfish and my cheesy hash browns were not great but the rest of the food was VERY VERY good. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful and probably my favorite. I wanted to have a second helping of breakfast because it was sooo good but I also wanted the lunch items too. You can also order omelettes and pancakes to order. The wife had a pancake and she said it was fantastic. There's a dessert bar as well but I didn't have any room for that ! I also noticed there was a bloody Mary bar. I think that was an extra $4 or so. This place has live music on the weekends so we'll be back for that. I would highly recommend Highway 61 Roadhouse and kitchen ESPECIALLY for brunch which it appears they have every Sunday.Thanks for bringing your family in on Mother's Day! And yes, we have our all you can eat brunch every Sunday. We look forward to having you back to enjoy our live music on the weekends.

olive + oak

Reviewed By Michael R

Several best things about Olive and Oak. First, the food is beyond amazing. I'm from New Jersey and I had a blow fish dinner and an amazing crab dip as an appetizer. My wife had a soft shell crab appetizer and a porgy and clam dinner. What a perfect Mothers' Day celebration (And though our "kids" are far from kids anymore, we thoroughly enjoyed the young couple who sat at the next table with their two extremely well-behaved sons). Service was amazing thanks to Reed and the support staff. Finally, read the story of how this restaurant came to be. It;s both a sad and the warmest story you will ever have heard.I read one of the reviews particularly about fish. I grew up in New Jersey, two miles from Cape May and the Atlantic Ocean, in a family that fished all the time (Owned three different party boats that took people fishing). The porgy dinner was as good as any I had ever eaten and the blow fish was the same - and over the years I caught many pounds of porgies and blow fish and cooked them fresh - as in the same night they were caught.In terms of price, it can be expensive (As in we spent @$150.00 including tip, cocktails and dessert) or inexpensive (As in the young couple at the next table enjoyed hamburgers and fries and kids' meals).

Big Sky Cafe

Reviewed By Carol D

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
