Big Chief Roadhouse — Restaurant in Wildwood

STAN WALLACE Ballwin • 1d • Big disappointment at Big Chief Roadhouse

Went there today Sat about 12:30, we walked in the front door facing Manchester which is apparently the rear door, once inside just a sign to see hostess at the back

Big Chief is out in the garden. I imagine he used to be inside the restaurant but someone found him “problematic” and demanded he be “relocated.” Or perhaps he genuinely prefers to be out there minding the garden and connecting with nature instead of stuck in the restaurant listening to the white man order his bison burgers and buffalo wings. My little cousin ordered the buff wings and loved them but was leaving a lot of meat on the bones. I took one wing and took him under my wing to teach him how to use every part of the animal, leave nothing behind. And they was mighty good, them wings, he weren’t wrong. Me, I ordered the Sunday special: Smoked Meatloaf, which came with house salad, mashed potes and green beans. Italian dressing with the salad was some peach colored nonsense. We really need to standardize Italian dressing in this country. And that doesn’t mean we couldn’t still have a wealth of variations, but generic Italian dressing at a restaurant needs to be brown, oily, and herby, not some store-bought milky thousand island malarkey. The meatloaf was great, bore a nice smokey flavor, and the sauce was NOT ketchup-based, which is a happy hallelujah for me. Potes and beans were good but nothing special, would benefit from stronger seasoning and/or some additional something for some flavor/flare. But for the most part all five in our party, including two picky children, were well satisfied. Big...

All right this was our first time coming to this restaurant. I was very excited. Everything was going fine until we looked at the menu. 20$ for a Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The waiter was nice and he told us the specials. One of the specials that I selected was the meatloaf special. When this meatloaf arrived, it looked old, and over cooked. But I'm still holding on to looks being deceiving. I took one bite and said this is old, my fiancé took a bite as well and said it wasn't good. We told the waiter this and his suggested the country fried steak, saying that it has the same sides as the meatloaf. So to make it worse, the waiter, that I taught was nice, has them brings me just a country fried steak with no new sides! My mashed potatoes had brown gravy on it the the country fried steak has white gravy. This is totally lazy and dissatisfying! Like, are you serious. I was so out done. I didn't want to cause any more issues so I just asked my fiancé to ask for the check. In addition to what I ordered, my fiancé had a salad and loaded fries, ohh and two sodas. In total this was 50$. So they took the meatloaf meal off and charged me the country fried steak meal, but I had the same old sides from the meatloaf! What type of BS is this! We will never be back here and I regret not checking the reviews first. Please save yourself the...
