LauraJ   -   Two weeks ago Saturday my boyfriend, my eleven month old son, myself and 4 friends went to Wing’s in Valley Park for food, drink and a good time; this was not the first time we had been to Wing’s but would definitely be the last! We all met there around 5:30 and easily found a table for all as they weren’t too busy. After my experience that night I understand why! To the left of the room we were sitting in is a “game room” there was a group of kids in their sports uniforms around 8-10 years old running wild, yelling, standing on chairs/tables and nothing was said by anyone. To the right of where we were sitting was the bar; I don’t have to tell you what kind of foul language was being used by the crowd at the bar; glad my son was not old enough to understand what was being said; again nothing was said. We had been there a couple of hours; had a few buckets of beer, appetizers and then dinner; as with any child my son was in a high chair and like most; he needed to eat as well. We gave him a few fries, his baby food and some snacks – cheerios to be exact. As the night went on I commented that he was making a mess and we would need to clean it up before we left. No sooner than those words came out of my mouth, “The Manager”, came over looked at us and asked if we intended on cleaning up our mess. My first reaction was “EXCUSE ME”! He then said do you let him make a mess like this at home? I explained that he was eleven months old and unfortunately does not always hit his mouth; and yes he does do this at home and yes I clean up the mess at home and would clean up the mess in his restaurant. Still in a state of shock I shook my head as to clear my thoughts as he walked away. He then returned with a broom and dust pan and said “Here you go”! He then stood there and watched as I cleaned up after my son. My Boyfriend returned the broom and dust pan. As we were walking out the door the Bartender, who happens to be the owners son; felt it necessary to start verbally attacking me by calling me a pig and a slob in so many words, for all to hear. Almost as though he wanted to pick a fight with us…… My point here is simple; we spent well over $100 dollars, we were not loud or obnoxious like the children to the left of us or the drunks at the bar to the right of us! We were not finished with our drinks or our night; yet “The Manager” decided for us that it was time to go by asking us to clean up after our eleven month old child at that moment! Our Waitress was embarrassed, apologized and assured us that she did not mind cleaning up the “mess”. The Bus Boy was embarrassed and also offered to clean up for us. We cleaned up “The Mess” ended our night early; took the rest our money with us; which The Manager obviously did not need even though there were empty tables throughout the establishment. Guess Wing’s has their preferred guests and does not need new customers or good reviews from others. Guess they don’t care how many people hear my story and decide not to stop in for lunch, dinner or a drink! I hope you think twice before entering their establishment; customer service isn’t their strong suit; fowl language, drunks, “okay” food, and a rude, disrespectful, punk for a manager, and a Momma’s boy Bartender who can do whatever he wants cause Mommy own’s the place is what you will find! less

Lynnetta C.   -   When you eat at ‘The Shack’, you’ll literally feel as if you’re in a shack! It is nothing more than a rehabbed dive masquerading as a restaurant. For starters, we ordered lemonade. Instead, we received lemons in water. We inquired about the bitter taste. The waitress dryly responded, “That’s just the way it is. You can order something else. ” Praying lemonade would be the only issue besides the irritating flies, our wait time for salads was nearly 25 minutes. The salads were HUGE lettuce wedges, drenched in cheap vinaigrette. The flatware should have been machetes as machetes may have added to The Shack's appeal. Our entrees finally arrived cold, Alcatraz prison-style, on cookie sheets. We reluctantly ate. A manager saw or heard what happened, and as expected, reordered ‘hot’ food and refunded our money. The food tasted mediocre. We would not recommend eating there, as good customer service skills, decent food preparation, and basic presentation are seriously lacking. You'll have a better dining experience in your family room with pirates. less

jpBallwin   -   You must try Faraci Pizza, you will never go back to regular pizza places again! They are Family Owned and operated and have been there for as long as I can remember. It's kind of nice seeing the same people working every time you go in for a pizza. The pizza is amazing and I crave their house salad dressing. their website explains their pizza process, family history, full menu including prices, and direction. They can get busy at times, so you may want to call ahead to see if there is a wait less

Patrick R.   -   The service was good and the staff helpful at making selections. Unfortunately having hardcore experienced Vietnamese family members with me, they were somewhat disappointed both in the portion size/price ratio. Expected much more bean sprouts and veggies with the Pho and the broth was lacking. My wife says don't get her started on the wimpy Banh Xeo. less

Daniel C.   -   As this is a place down the street from where I live it sounded like a great place to check out. I love Mexican Cuisine. The bathrooms are not the greatest but they are not as bad as I have seen either. The food tastes great but I would like a little bigger portions for the price. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican Experience this is the place. You walk in and it is a little bit of Mexico by Saint Louis International Airport. Including an entire staff who do NOT speak English. less

Daniel C.   -   A restaurant that serves breakfast all day long? Sounds like a good idea right? Well if it is at this restaurant I would think again. Stick with IHOP. I once had an Instructor in Culinary School who told me great advice. If you want to know what a restaurant is like in the kitchen check the bathrooms first. If they don't clean the areas they want you to see. What do they do with those they don't allow you to see. In this case it was gross. The floors were sticky and smelled like sewage. There was paint covering what looked like mold on the walls and stall door. The food was good. But the server and busser we had didn't speak much english. My food came out hot but was missing ingredients. On a plus side it appears they make their own croutons as mine were made of rye bread. All in all not my most favorite experience. On a side note as I went there the day before I wrote this it did me give me an upset stomach tonight...YAY!!! food poisoning less
