Blue Sky Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in O’Fallon

I haven’t eaten at the Blue Sky in a couple of years mostly because it isn’t close to my home but today I was next door doing other business in the area, it was noon and I was hungry and craving a good old fashioned burger and fries so I stopped in. The place wasn’t busy and has a nice comfortable atmosphere. I was waited in right away and the waitress was friendly. I’m not a fan of overloaded burgers. Just keep it simple. I ordered a burger with no cheese and with lettuce tomato , onion and mayo plus fries and a drink. Waite time was good and the food presented well. I first noted that the fries were no crisp and slightly soggy but edible and I noticed that the burger was missing the mayo that I had requested. No matter, I thought to myself. I’ll just add a bit of ketchup and it’ll be fine. Not really, unfortunately. Although the meat, lettuce, tomato and onion were fine the bun wasn’t. Unfortunately either the grill they had toasted the bun on was in need of cleaning or the butter they had basted the bun with prior to toasting it on the grill had begun to go a bit rancid or a combination of the two but in any case I got a distinctive bitter slightly rancid taste when I bit into the burger. Not enough to make me put it aside but still enough to taint the whole dining experience. Just no excuse for that kind of thing in especially this kind of establishment. I probably should have made them take it back but I was hungry and didn’t want to take the time. I did mention it to the waitress but got no response. Probably a health code violation...

Went to the Blue Sky Cafe & Bar with a group of ladies on Ladies night. The environment was clean and inviting. I would suggest having a host to welcome guest, but that's just courtesy. Before I say anything, please read all of the review.. One of the spotlights are the Martini's, I personally did not have a martini, but each lady that I spoke to said their martini's were not prepared properly. Either to strong or too sugary. My drink was a simple canned drink and was prepared over ice and was wonderful. All the previous complaints about food on here are definitely unfounded. At least from the items I tried. I tried the coconut shrimp and it was excellent, I tried the pretzel stix, again high quality, and lastly for my main dish i had shrimp Quesadillas and I have to say, these were the best I have ever had. I actually want to go back there today for lunch just to have these again. As for the service, our waitress was a little distracted, but we were a very loud and large group of ladies so I have to give her props. I did not have to wait for my drink long and she was constantly moving around working. . Great Job Blue Sky. Keep up with the great food and keep urging your servers to provide great service. I want to see you to...

Group of 5 of us girls all with July Birthdays met for dinner. Only 1 in the group has eaten there before. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich & while I ate it, it was not at all what I was expecting. I expected a fried chicken breast then coated in buffalo sauce. Instead, the sauce must have been applied first, then the breast fried. Could not taste any heat whatsoever, sandwich tasted a bit burnt, & it was disappointing. Also, I ordered fries & was delivered tator tots. Since we were there for our birthdays, we decided to order dessert. Several of us ordered the Molten Lava Cake & to say it was underwhelming would be an understatement. We were first taken back by how small it was (especially for $5.99) & that it was not served with any ice cream or at the bare minimum, Whip Cream. No sauce or chocolate running on the edges. Just a tiny little bitter tasting cake that was luke warm in temperature - definitely not hot. Complete waste of money & we should have saved our money for dessert at the Sweet Spot Cafe or somewhere else. All in all, I was left feeling horrible for picking the place for us all, wished we would have went somewhere different, & though our server was friendly & the tator tots were good, I'm not sure I'd...
