Granite City Food and Brewery

Granite City Food and Brewery on Olive Blvd in St. Louis, MO. is not a place I will go to again. First, I did not know this was a chain restaurant before we went, but I should have known the minute I walked in, because the atmosphere did not feel like a unique restaurant. Second, after doing some research I found out that they do not even brew the beer on location. See for brewing process. I think that a place has to brew beer on location to be considered a brewery.
Granite City Food and Brewery had a selection of five specialty beers. A light American brew, a bock type beer, an IPA, a stout and a seasonal wheat beer. I started out with the wheat beer. This tasted like I was chewing on yeast. I was not impressed. I think it is pretty hard to mess up a wheat beer, but somehow they did. The second beer I ordered was the IPA. This was much better, but it was still not what I expected. Beers are expensive. One of the "homemade brews" will run $4.50. We are talking ballpark prices here, ridiculous.
Expensive is all I have to say. Now, I do not mind spending money if the food is worth it. But, I kind of felt like the place cut corners to save money, while charging out the ass. For example, a tiny little thing of homemade chips was $4. A cheeseburger with coleslaw (fries are an extra charge, go figure) was $8.50. This burger had one little piece of cheese on it. A pizza ran about $11 and would have definitely not filled me up. Salads ran between $12 and $15. Pastas ran a little higher than that. I saw some pasta dishes and they definitely did not look like they were worth the money.
The service was also slow. Make sure to set aside a lot of time if you go to this place. The burgers took forever to cook. The pizza came out at least 10 minutes before the burgers.
I left this place unsatisfied and feeling ripped off. I will not be back.

The Stable is a Great Spot to Eat in St. Louis, MO
The Stable
1821 Cherokee Street
St Louis, MO 63118
(314) 771-8500
Unbelievable. That is all I have to say. This place left me with a great experience. The Stable is located in the heart of St. Louis, MO. The Stable is a restaurant and brewery set in the same building in which the beer delivery horses from the Lemp Brewing Company. The decor consists of old chandeliers salvaged from the old Lemp Brewery. The inside has a bar area and a dining area. Tables are wooden and the place has a woodsy feel to it.
Since The Stable is a micro brewery, I had to order something from their extensive beer selection. The Stable offered many different micro-brews from all over St. Louis and the United States. The beers were great. The waitress was very informed about the beers and offered to pair our food with beer.
The Stable in the City of St. Louis has a very nice menu to choose from. The Stable has a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas and salads. We went with the shrimp pizza for about $15 and a salad for $3. Since there was four of us they served the salad family style. The salad was great. Mixed in with the lettuce was salami, cheese, olives and a slightly sweet oil and vinegar based dressing. The pizza was very good as well. I split this with my wife and we only ate half of the pizza. It was very filling. The pizza started with an olive oil sauce and it was covered with various cheeses and shrimp.
Definitely check out The Stable if you are looking for a good place to have some good beer and some good food.

Jefferson's is the Belleville, Illinois Place to Eat
Jefferson's
6980 W Main St
Belleville, IL 62223
Jefferson's Restaurant is located in Belleville, Illinois and is a bar and grill style place. From the time I walked in, I could smell the hot wing sauce. This place smells like it has some good chicken wings, but I did not have any this time. The place is wide open with video games and darts. We went for lunch and there were plenty of places to sit. Jefferson's has a little "hisotry" of the place on their menu, and they are famous for customers sticking dollar bills to the walls and ceiling of the place. I looked around and there were not many dollar bills stuck to the walls or ceilings.
The food was good. We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer, and they were very good. The fried pickles were dill pickle slices dipped in batter, fried and then served with a side of ranch. I ordered the Jefferson burger. This was a 1/2 pound hamburger with bacon cheese and BBQ sauce. The burger was very good as were the fries that came with it. They had a special going on for the burger and it only cost $4.99. Jefferson's is a great bar and grill in Belleville, Illinois.
Prices: $4.99 for the burger and fries special.

Humphrey's Restaurant and Tavern
3700 Laclede Ave
St. Louis, MO 63108
Phone number: 314-535-0700
Humphrey's Restaurant and Tavern is a St. Louis University bar. It is close to the campus and frequently visited by St. Louis University students and other college students on weekends and big drinking nights. But, they also serve food. Humphrey's is a large place that is multileveled and has a nice feel to it. I wish the menu was a little bigger, but the food I had was good. The menu consisted of mostly appetizers, a few sandwiches and a few salads. The prices were just about where you would see other bar and grill prices.
I ordered the Philly sandwich. The menu stated that the Philly came with chips. I thought they would be the homemade style chips, but they were ruffles. Humphrey's should change their menu to say that the chips are not homemade, or they are ordinary potato chips. If I would have known they were ordinary potato chips, then I would have gotten fries. The Philly sandwich was good. The sandwich was covered in chese, but it was a little small. I left the place feeling a little hungry still. The sandwich is good, the chips were not, but I would eat there again.
Prices: About $6.50 for a Philly sandwich and chips

Laclede Street Bar and Grill is known to pack that place with St. Louis University college kids at night, but it is also a good place to grab lunch. Laclede Street is a typical Bar and Grill, that turns into a dance club at night, or at least it did when I was in college. We went there for lunch and the place was empty. There might have been four other people in the place the whole time. Laclede Street has a typical bar menu, but I really didn't look at it because they had a 10-inch pizza and salad special for $7.99.
I ordered the 10-inch pizza and salad. The salad was good, because of the dressing. The ranch dressing was peppery and very good. The pizza was a thin crust, St. Louis style, and that was good as well. It was filled with cheese and a topping, I picked bacon. This was a very good deal for $7.99. It looks like they have about four daily specials. All of them were reasonably priced.

Frailey's Southtown Grill is located at Highway 55 and Butler Hill Road in South County, St. Louis. The inside is a typical bar and grill type atmosphere with a bar area and a separate dining area. There are a few video games to entertain the kids or adults. There was plenty of seating when we arrived at about 9:30 p.m. on a Friday night.
I went to Frailey's to meet some friends on Friday night and to watch the St. Louis Blues hockey game. To my surprise, Frailey's has $1.50 beer of the day specials. On Friday the beer of the day was Budweiser. It was delicious. I don't know if the beer of the day special is just on weekdays or if it is on weekends also. This is a great deal. Some of the cheapest drinks in St. Louis. I also know that Frailey's serves good food as well. I didn't eat any on Friday night, but I am sure I will be back to eat and take advantage of the $1.50 beer of the day special.

The Broadway Oyster Bar is a small little place with a nice patio on Broadway close to Busch Stadium. The Broadway Oyster Bar's menu is loaded with southern Louisiana cajun style favorites. The menu is filled with Jambalaya, and southern favorites. The inside of the Broadway Oyster Bar is a small place with a bar. The outside patio is covered and enclosed in the winter. This looks like a nice place to hang out on a chilly fall evening.
I ate at the Broadway Oyster Bar for lunch. We arrived there at about 11:45 a.m. and we the only ones in there for the whole time we were eating. But, the food here was great. I ordered the shrimp grinder. This was a loaf of soft french bread filled with cajun style shrimp. This was a very good sandwich and came with fries.

The Bean House, La Casa Frijole
1100 Lemay Ferry Rd
St. Louis, MO 63125
For more restaurants and bars visit www.stlstuff.com
The Bean House is a Mexican Restaurant at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Telegraph. From the outside of the building the place looked like it had a nice patio, but it was too cold to sit outside. The inside of The Bean House was not decked out, and didn't look like every other mexican restaurant that feels the need to put up that ugly fake Mexican decoration. This was a very straight forward place. The menu did not have the 50 combination dinners that other places have. It was very simple and the prices were very cheap.
I ordered the chicken chimichanga and two tacos. The chicken inside the chimichanga was outstanding. It was not covered in spices like other mexican restaurants, but it was shredded and very moist. The tacos were not anything special, but they were still good. If you go to this place order something with the shredded chicken. It is very good.
Downstairs in The Bean House, there is a little sports bar area. This is a cool little space with a bar, a few T.V.s and darts. We had a few beers down in the basement after dinner and it was a good time. The place was not that crowded and there were definitely places to sit, which is always nice.

Show-Me's is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Show-Me's - Multiple Locations
We went to the Show-Me's on the famous St. Louis Landing, because we were working at a place on Washington Ave. It was weird going to the landing, because I have not been there since my days of being under 21 and being 21, and I have not been there in a few years, except to on drunken nights when some one gets a bright idea to take a cab to the President Casino. But, in that case we go to the President, try not to get kicked out and then go back to my friends resting place in Soulard.
Back to Show-Me's. The inside looked like a bar I would like to be in. It was smoky and looked like a bar. They had a row of tables and a row of booths for seating, and all of the tables were filled around noon. It was a kind of place that I would like to go with the wife, or friends and have a few drinks. But, the food was unexpectedly good, and cheap. Show-Me's has a lunch menu, and all of the sandwiches on there are under $6. They even come with fries or a salad. Show-Me's tries to copy off of the Hooter's outfits. But, the talent in Show-Me's is not as good as the talent in Hooter's. But, who cares, the food is much better, and much cheaper at Show-Me's
The food was good. I ordered the club sandwich. It was a roast beef, ham, and bacon sandwich, and it was a hot sandwich. It was very good and cheesy. I was feeling healthy so I ordered the salad as well. The salad was nothing special. It was just lettuce, and cheese. The dressing that comes with the salad is a pre-packaged ranch. But, the club was very good and I suggest checking out Show-Me's for lunch.
Prices: About $6 for a sandwich and fries or a salad

Buffalo Wild Wings is the St. Louis Place to Eat and Drink
Buffalo Wild Wings - Find a Location
I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings in the South County Mall parking lot. It was a Friday night and the place was pretty packed, but we did not have to wait for a table. Inside Buffalo Wild Wings is a big open space with a bar area and bar tables for smoking and regular tables in the non-smoking section. There are televisions all over the place and they were tuned to all of the different sports channels. Buffalo Wild Wings is a great place to watch a game or many games at once. They also had the trivia game going. That is always an entertaining thing to do while drinking and waiting for the food to come out.
Buffalo Wild Wings has some good wraps. I ordered the chicken queso wrap. This was very good, but needed to be a little spicier, so I had the waiter bring me one of their 20 sauces that are available. They have a variety of mild and hot sauces to go with any item on the menu. The chicken queso wrap was good. I would order it again, but I would try something else next time. The beers were pretty expensive. A bottle of Bud Light was $3.25 The food was good, but the beer is too expensive for my kind of sports bar.
Prices: Chicken queso wrap - $6.95; Bud Light bottle - $3.25

Malle's
3506 Hampton Ave
St. Louis, MO 63139
Phone Number: 314-352-5566
For more bars visit www.stlstuff.com
Malle's is a nice little bar in South City on Hampton. It is about a mile or two south of Highway 44 on Hampton. You better be looking for it or you will miss it. It is hard to catch when you are driving by on Hampton. They need a sign. Inside Malle's is a bar spanning across one of the side walls. There are tables and chairs scattered throughout, and there is a stage for live music and karaoke. In the back there are games such as darts, Golden Tee, Silver Strike, and Bags. I can't beleive Bags is actually a video game. I admit I enjoy playing it, but how many games can they really have that copy the famous Golden Tee track ball.
I always order buckets of beer when I go. I think they are around 13-14 bucks. Malle's is great because there is always a place to sit, if you are looking to have a good time hanging out with friends. There is also a jukebox that has the latest and greatest hits. Get there early to get a hold of that thing or else you will be hearing South City hoosier rap and the latest playlist from Z1077 over the jukebox. When we can, we get a table right in front of the jukebox and hog it all night, and play muisic from the best era ever, which is the 70s and 80s. We will mix in a little of everything throughout the night, but there is nothing better than controlling the jukebox. Go to Malle's it is a great place to hang out and drink. You always have a place to sit.

Krieger's Sports Grill is a typical sports bar that serves pretty good food. I went to the South County location which is located in the Holiday Inn at Highway 55 and Lindbergh Blvd. The wife and I went on a Saturday night, so we could watch the Mizzou game while we ate, and there were all kinds of places to sit. I thought the place would be packed considering there was a big Missouri football game on. Good thing for us, because we were able to walk right in and get a table. Krieger's looks like any typical sports bar. They have about 7 T.V.s tuned to various sports channels.
The food at Krieger's is very good. They have the usual bar food like, pizza, nachos, buffalo wings, hamburgers, and plenty of other sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. I ordered the blackened tuna club, which I did not expect to see on the menu, and it was very good. It had a little kick to it and ended up being a very good sandwich. The service at Krieger's was surprisingly good. It looked like our server had a lot of tables, but our beer was always full and our food came out in a timely manner. Krieger's is a good place to go, eat, have a few drinks, and watch a game, because there are always tables open.
Prices: Blackened tuna club sandwich, and fries is about $7. Bottles of Bud Light around $3.

September 26, 2007: Chuck's Bar and Grill is the Restaurant of the Day
Chuck's Bar and Grill
1181 Colonnade Ctr
St Louis, MO 63131
Phone Number: (314) 984-0970
Chuck's Bar and Grill is a little place that serves big portions. Chucks is a small bar in a shopping plaza in Des Peres, Missouri. It is around Manchester and 270. Inside Chuck's there is a small little dining area with about 20 tables, and a bar. We went to lunch at 11:30 and by the time we left, the place was full of people. The portions of food were huge. I would look to see what everyone was ordering as the waitress would bring the food out of the kitchen, and every plate was piled high with food. Chuck's has the typical bar menu but the food is good.
I ordered the patty melt burger with a side of fries. The burger was served on marble rye bread, with swiss cheese, and covered with the patty melt sauce. The burger had a little spice to it and was very good. Chuck's serves crinkle fries like the ones at White Castle so that is a plus. The crinkle fries are the best. I don't know what it is about the crinkle fry, they always seem to taste better than any other fry. The person I was with ordered the turkey club and it was huge. It was probably 4 inches high, and looked very good. Go to Chuck's, and you will get a ton of food for your money.
Prices: About $6.50 for a burger and fries.

September 23, 2007: Hammerstone's at 9th and Russell is the Bar and Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis
Hammerstone's at 9th and Russell
2028 S. 9th Street
St. Louis, MO 63104
Phone number: 314-773-5565
For more bars and restaurants in and around St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
Hammerstone's gets it. What a contrast this place is compared to Phelan's, another Soulard bar. Read about Phelan's here. Hammerstone's has great food, cheap beer and they know how to treat thier customers. This place actually had people in the bar.
Hammerstone's is located at 9th and Russell in Soulard. The inside of Hammerstone's has a few booths, some tables, and a bar streching the whole length of the place. Hammerstone's has live music seven days a week. There is also an outdoor patio, which is very nice. An outside bar is situated in the back corner of the patio. We went there on a Friday night to eat and drink. We got to Hammerstone's around 7 p.m. and we were able to get a table outside on the nice patio. A strange thing that I did not know about Hammerstone's is that people can bring their dog if they sit on the patio. The waitress brought some dog treats and water. It was a great atmosphere. The inside was packed with people listening to the band play. The outside was full of tables and people sitting around drinking and talking. Like I said, the patio was very nice and it seemed like a private courtyard.
Hammerstone's serves all of the favorite bar foods. Hammerstone's has some bar food appetizers and they even have hummus dip and oysters on the half shell. They also have sandwiches, burgers and house specials, like pizza kebabs, fajitas, and pasta. One thing I saw on the menu is that Hammerstone's had a breakfast that consist of two eggs, two pieces of bacon, and two pieces of toast for $2. If I lived in Soulard I would eat here for breakfast every day. The food at Hammerstone's was delicious. I ordered the steak kebabs with mushroom gravy. The kebabs come with two skewers with steak on them, served with grilled peppers, grilled onions, and mushroom gravy. The steak was done perfectly and and went great with the peppers, onions, and gravy. I recommend this plate very much. It had a very reasonable price of $8.95. I would get it again if I went back. I also got to taste a hamburger, and philly cheesesteak. They were both very good. The philly cheese steak was excellent. The meat was tender and it was very cheesy. I am looking forward at eating at Hammerstone's again.
After we were finished with dinner we stayed to drink. Hammerstone's has some great deals. When we were there on a Friday night Hammerstone's had $4 pitchers, and $1 drafts. The prices were at the outside bar on the patio. These are some refreshingly great prices for a bar, especially in Soulard. We originally went to Hammerstone's for dinner, but once we saw the cheap prices on beer we stayed to drink for the rest of the night. We sat outside on the great patio and drank all night. This is a great bar in Soulard. There are spots to hang out and talk and there are spots to listen to live music. You are not forced to listen to blaring music if you don't want to. By the time we left, at around 1 a.m. the outside bar was packed with people. I had a great time at this bar. Hammerstone's is a great place to hang out in Soulard. I will be going back very soon.
Food Prices: I paid $8.95 for the kabobs. Prices are very reasonable
Bar Prices: $4 for a pitcher of beer, and $1 for draft beer. Prices are very cheap.

September 21, 2007: Applebee's is the Place to Eat in St. Louis for Today
Applebee's - Multiple Locations
For more restaurants and thing to do in and around the St. Louis area visit www.stlstuff.com
It pains me to say this but I ate at Applebee's and they actually had something good. There are Applebees all over the St. Louis area, and I went to the one on Manchester. Applebee's is a generic chain restaurant bar and grill just like T.G.I. Friday and other places like that. Serve food that appeals to the regular American person. They serve burgers, chicken, and a bunch of other fried food and salads. Inside Applebee's there is a bar and tables all around the bar.
I can't believe Applebee's has something that I like. I used to call the place Crapplebee's. It just seemed like they didn't try to make good tasting food. I went to Applebee's with a partner at my firm for lunch and he convinced me to get the crispy orange chicken bowl. It is pretty expensive, around $9.50. The orange chicken bowl was good, and was filled with rice and vegetables. This was a big bowl and was more than enough for a lunch. I usually don't like going to Applebee's but I would go and eat the crispy orange chicken bowl.
Prices: About $9.50 for a crispy orange chicken bowl

September 19, 2007: Schottzie's is the Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis for Today
Schottzies Bar and Grill
1148 Concord Villiage Ave
St. Louis, MO 63123
Phone Number: 314-824-7244
One step into Schottzie's bar and grill and you will be smelling like smoke for the next three days. But don't let the smoke filled place scare you away. The inside is an open room with about 20 tables and a bar along one wall. Schottzie's has some of the best food in South County, MO. The menu is stacked with the usual bar food, and even some unexpected food that is not found in all bars. They have chicken fried steak, shrimp, meatloaf, and all kinds of other stuff. The best thing at Schottzies is the pizza. The pizza at Schotzie's is some of the best in St. Louis. The pizza has a good sweet sauce and has a crispy thin crust. Schottzie's is also a great place to drink and hang out for a few beers.
I went to Schottzie's for lunch and ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, and a house salad. The best part of the house salad is that it comes with a hot, soft pretzel. The country fried steak sandwich could have been better but it was still good. It was not as good a Kenrick's steak sandwich, but it is still good. The salad was a good salad with a lot of cheese, and a hot soft pretzel. While the menu is full of sandwiches, dinners, and other bar food, the pizza is a must have at Schottzie's.
Prices: $4.75 for a sandwich, $1.75 for fries, $4.50, and $1.25 for an iced tea

September 18, 2007: Kilroy's is the Bar in St. Louis, and The Cardinals' Game and Paddy O's are NOT the Places to Drink
Kilroy's
720 S. 7th Street
St. Louis, MO 63102
314-621-1960
I went to a Cardinals' game over the weekend and it is always a good time when the Cubs are in town. Before the game we went to the bar Kilroy was Here, which by the way is a terrible name for a bar. I don't know why they named it that, is it because that is what the rock opera was named by Styx? But, Kilroy's is a good place to drink before and after a Cardinals' game. Kilroy's has plenty of places to sit outside on their huge patio. The best part about Kilroy's is that they have $5 24 oz. cans. You can't beat that price anywhere else. Every time I walk by Kilroy's they are always cooking something that smells good. You can't beat the price of beer or the smell of bar-b-q any where else before or after the Cardinals game.
Prices: $5 for a 24 oz. beer
On to the places that will make you go broke.
Paddy O's
St. Louis, MO 63102
Phone number: 314-588-7313
We went to Paddy O's after the Cardinals' game, and we had to buy $8.50 beers in the Cardinals' game. But, Paddy O's is just as bad. Paddy O's is a bar that is on the south side of the Busch Stadium and has outside tents with bars underneath. At Paddy O's I had to pay $6 for a 16 oz beer and $7 for a Red Bull and Vodka in a little plastic cup. This place is a huge rip-off. We left and went to Kilroy's after the first drink. Even if I wanted another drink it would have taken forever to get one. The place was packed, so I guess that Paddy O's is doing something right. I wonder why people complain about paying such high prices at a St. Louis Cardinals' game and then come to this place and pay even higher prices.

Flannery's Pub
1320 Washington Ave
St. Louis, MO 63103
Phone number: 314-214-8885
Flannery's is located on Washington Avenue in Downtown St. Louis, where people are know building lofts by the hundreds. I ate Flannery's for lunch. The inside of Flannery's is a bar atmosphere. They have about 12 flat screen televisions, a few wooden booths and a bunch of bar tables. The menu has a variety of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. It has all of the usual pub and bar food. I don't know what it is about these places on Washington Avenue that makes them think that they can price their food so high. I would rather go get some good food at a cheaper place than go to these places. The menu at Flannery's didn't have a burger on it for under $8. The service was good at Flannery's. I had nothing to complain about, so if I don't notice that the server is doing a bad job, then the service is good. If you are looking for a good bar atmosphere and a place to eat lunch in the city, Flannery's would be a good place to go
I ordered the Taco Burger. This was a burger topped with salsa, jalapenos, and taco cheese. For the side order I got some fried corn. The burger was a huge patty and was pretty good. I have had better burgers before, and I have had much better burgers for less than the $8.25 I paid at Flannery's. The fried corn things were delicious. They were little balls of sweet cream corn, coated and fried. I would get an order of those next time. The food at Flannery's was pretty good, prices are a little high, but the Cardinal's game was on so that made my experience better.
Prices: $8.25 for a hamburger, and a side.

September 12, 2007: The Side Bar is the Restaurant in St. Louis for Today
The Side Bar
1317 Washington Avenue
St. Louis, MO
The Side Bar on Washington was a borderline decision on whether I wanted to make it a Restaurant of the Day, or NOT the Restaurant of the Day.
As always visit www.stlstuff.com for more restaurants and bars
The Side Bar is located on the newest hotspot in St. Louis, Washington Avenue. Why can't St. Louis appreciate old bars and restaurants. Every thing has to be new in St. Louis for people to like it. I went there for lunch with some co-workers. It was a nice day so we sat outside on the patio. It was nice but it was also kind of annoying because there were 18 wheelers driving by and it was loud. I did not go inside but, it looked like they had a bunch of bar tables set up where people could eat. The service was fine, except for one thing. When the waitress came over and asked if we would like this on separate checks we said yes. The waitress got an attitude and stormed off. I wanted to tell her that if you didn't want to split the bill then don't ask, dumbass. The food was expensive for a lunch. I don't think there was a sandwich on the menu for under $8. But, my food was good, this is why it is the restaurant of the day today.
I ordered the fish tacos from The Side Bar, and it came with a side salad. The fish tacos were little chunks of fish with rice grilled inside of a tortilla. It came with a side of lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, salsa, and sour cream. The fish tacos were very good, but I can't think of a way to mess fish tacos up. The side salad was good as well, after I had to ask for more dressing because they barely put any on it. A co-worker I went with ordered the house salad with chicken on it, and she said the chicken was chewy. Another co-worker ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich and liked it very much. All in all, I think this would be a good place to go have lunch if you are in the Downtown St. Louis area and don't mind spending a little extra money.
Prices: Almost $9 with tax for an order of fish tacos and a side salad
