They stopped serving Pabst about a year ago and damned if it ain't still a great bar! Way to go, Joe!

I cannot add much more than the other folks who have reviewed this place except to say that things have changed a little bit in the fifteen years that I have been coming here . . . in addition to Pabst on tap, they have been serving Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap for at least five years now. I like Pabst on tap and when I want one, this is where I go but I love Sierra Nevada and it goes great with a "Special" and a pickled egg, too. One more thing . . . I don't think anyone mentioned the pool room. They have a pool room in the back that is big and roomy but also very old fashioned. It's like taking a time machine back to the early twentieth century.

Mi Lupita is a small family owned Mexican restaurant within a five minute walk from my house and the food and atmosphere are wonderful. In addition to the main dining room (that has murals painted on either side) there is a banquet room in the back. The food is very traditional and quite tasty. In the winter I go there every few days for their albondagas soup. Not only does it taste great but I am convinced it cures the common cold. Their burritos are delicious and immense. The same folks have been working there for most of the fifteen years that I have been going there.One drawback according to some folks might be that they do not serve hard alcohol so there are no margaritas to be had but the do serve beer and wine and my friends that drink 'em like their "mockaritas" that are made with a tequila wine. I ain't fancy but it is very comforting.

This was the first Thai restaurant I ever ate at way back in 1983. Since then I have eaten at many and this place still ranks better than the rest. It is always packed and usually with people from Thailand. 'Nuff said.

This place makes the best pizza in the world! My favorite is just pepperoni but then I get a big tureen of minced garlic sautéd on the side and slather it on top with crushed red pepper and Parmesan cheese. They put the toppings under the cheese which I have always found unusual but it makes the cheese golden brown and delicious. All of their food is great though. I have never had anything there that was not extremely tasty. Their minestrone soup is some of the best I have ever had and is served in a bowl big enough to be a meal in itself. At one point it seemed like the entire Cozza family worked there and it is still a very family oriented place. One of the daughters/sisters makes fresh cheesecake that is to die for. One of the nicest touches is, after your meal you are served complimentary anisette with oranges. Mama Cozza's has been in tradition with me, my family, and friends for over thirty years now and I hope the following generations of Cozza's continue to run the restaurant for years and years to come.

This place was a lot of fun. I was traveling en masse with a brass band traveling from St. Louis airport to Keokuk, Iowa and when we asked the shuttle driver for a suggestion for a place to stop for dinner. He just smiled and said he knew exactly where to take us; and he wasn't wrong. The staff is very friendly, they didn't mind fourteen rowdy middle aged musicians showing up at all and the food and atmosphere were great. A totally warm Missouri welcome, I tell you what. The night I was there (a Friday) they had a dinner buffet special that featured among the standard dinner fare like fried chicken and mashed potatoes, frogs legs, and hushpuppies. They indeed threw piping hot yeast rolls at us, with major league speed and precision I might add, which we thought was totally fine. I highly recommend this place. It ain't fancy but it was really good and like I said, a whole heckuvalotta fun!
