Rock & Brews St. Louis — Restaurant in Chesterfield

I don't care for the volume of the music, which makes it difficult to hear someone sitting right next to you. But this restaurant has great atmosphere. There is a free KISS pinball machine, giant Connect Four, tabletop shuffleboard/curling/whatever (I didn't get a great look at it). There is a large covered patio area with couches and a big fire pit. There are several "private" areas that can be used for large parties/groups or get togethers. The food is good, not great. Our first time eating there, my husband and son were mostly happy with their Royal BBQ Patty Melt, but we did have a small ordering/cooking snafu for them. I ordered the Gastropub, a "runny egg" style burger, but my egg was over medium to over hard, a big disappointment with that kind of burger! Plus, it had a garlic sauce on it that was overpowering and offensive and caused severe intestinal discomfort into the next day even. If I ever ordered it again, I would get mayo instead and stress that my egg be runny (which is an extra step that should not be necessary). Plus, it really could have used hash browns on it, just a personal aside. My son's friend got a Kansas City style spicy hot dog (I think). It came with potato salad, which was pretty good. The hot dog itself was quite massive and piled high with chili, jalapenos, cheese, and whatever else. We ordered pulled pork sliders, which were a disappointing considering the portion. They were incredibly sweet, way too sweet. They came with cole slaw that had a weird flavor, like celery seed, that was overpowering and unappealing. Plus, I don't know what the binding liquid/sauce was but it wasn't great. We also ordered the "Brew-sketta". The bread definitely needed more toasting and the tomato dip was far too sweet, with an unappealing taste. The tomato pieces were cut super small, making it difficult to dip your bread into and quite messy.

We went again today and my husband got the Demon Chicken. I think he was happy but it really delivers on the spice/heat!!! I ordered the Margaritaville pizza with added meatballs, caramelized onions, and mushrooms. The toppings were a bit disappointing in quantity (I think I found 4 mushrooms, 4 tomatoes, and one slice had almost no toppings), more onion than anything, and it definitely needed more cheese and a little more sauce, but it was quite tasty.

Ultimately, the food isn't super filling or large portions for what you pay and I do feel like everything is overpriced for what you get, but we would consider eating there again. It's a novel place.

I always forget to get photos when...

Will I return: ABSOLUTELY!

Recommend: MOST DEFINITELY!

I was visiting family and my sister recommended we go as a family, we had a table of 6 adults and 3 children.

At first, the experience started off a little rocky as the young lady that greeted us sat us at a tabletop and offered to give us booster seats for the small children (we politely declined due to the risk of injury). Instead of asking us to wait in the separate seating area, she told us a table had to be cleaned and walked off. We stood in confusion and about 2 minutes later we were finally told we could sit in the waiting area while a table was being cleaned.

I didn’t catch the waiter’s name, but he was very friendly and brought our drinks out quickly. A separate woman took our appetizer orders and was very helpful as we had more than enough questions going around about food suggestions and asking about her favorites. I enjoyed my Moscow Mule, had the right balance of ginger beer and alcohol!

We ordered the jalapeño poppers (had the right amount of spiciness and were SO crispy and delicious), egg rolls (loved the chipotle ranch sauce paired with it), and Parm fries (I didn’t taste, but heard they were just as amazing).

The waiter did apologize as cheese or pepperoni pizza were the only foods available to order from the kids menu (someone failed to place a food order for kids items) which luckily wasn’t an issue as it’s a fan favorite.

All of the food was served as ordered, hot, fresh, and delectable. I personally couldn’t make up my mind, so I ordered the Sweet ‘n Spicy Asian Wings and Fish ‘n Chips, which I’m happy I did as they were both GREAT! I was sad when I got back to the hotel and realized I left my tartar sauce behind, it was perfect for the fish, not too tart, salty, or bitter.

The restrooms could’ve been somewhat cleaner. As a mother of small children I was in mild panic mode as they of course like to touch everything, but I keep hand sanitizer wipes on hand so it wasn’t too much of an issue. I would recommend they wipe down the baby changing station on a regular. I wiped it down before changing my little one and it was rather dirty. The trash can was also overfilled with paper towels, so unfortunately there were used paper towels on the floor. I took a star off due to the lack of cleanliness in...

Today is the 2nd of July of 2022. We have just finished lunch here at 1430.

Let's start with the good. The food is a solid 9/10. Absolutely delicious not a single complaint. The atmosphere is awesome as well, definitely loved it. The music was fantastic and it was definitely nice to sit down to some rock for once.

The beer selection is absolutely fantastic. Not a lot of this weird craft beer IPA nonsense. It's a legitimately great selection of draft beers.

Now the bad. We walked in, the hostess walked over and set her phone down and just looked blankly at my wife, daughter and I. No greeting. I didn't say hi either at this point just a table for three please. She briskly walked away from us without checking if we were following. It was like we were inconveniencing her by coming in.

We then sat at our table for roughly 7-10 minutes waiting to be greeted. Amira finally came and greeted us, ordered our drinks and left. We wanted to order everything at that moment but I was still looking for a beer to get. She then came back about 5 minutes later. Ordered the beer and all of the food. Then we waited. I finally went to the bar and asked the bartender if the beer sitting there waiting to be brought out was for my table. He looked and said yes. So I delivered my own beer because at this point. I couldn't find her anywhere.

Other servers delivered our food. It was great. Our server came by to check on us when the meal was 3/4 eaten. Wanting to make sure everything was okay. She was just walking around aimlessly with a pitcher of water. She saw me finish my beer and asked me if I wanted another and I just asked for the check. So I wouldn't be sitting anymore.

When we left the two hostesses didn't say goodbye or leave their own conversation at all.

I don't expect a servant when I eat, I don't even need them hovering over us. However, I do expect a certain level of service. As I was looking around other people seemed to be in a similar situation with other servers. There were many other tables just looking around. That's not good.

Your entire wait staff needs to be reevaluated. The kitchen staff...
