I absolutely love this place. I am sorry to have waited 30 years to try it out. I've only been a handful of times but the breakfast is fantastic. I need to try the rest of the menu.
Nicole was amazing to see her move and groove with all those people with a smile and not forget orders Was working by herself. amazing It ended up being topic of conversation besides the football game..GO NICOLE From morton illinois we will definitely be back
My husband and I recently moved to a near by area. We had been searching for a dive bar with great food since relocating. Today we made a grocery run, and saw The French Quarter off Manchester. We had noticed a couple times before it was always busy. So on a whim, we tried it for lunch. O.M.G.!!!! Hallelujah THIS is the dive bar and vibe we have been looking for. The food is outstanding. We had a burger and the brisket sandwich with fries and onion rings. Chef’s kiss! The onion rings were so good we had to order some more. Nicole was the bartender/waitress and doesn’t know a stranger. She is a gem, and I am so happy we found this place.
My first visit was today and I loved it. todays special was meatloaf and I can honestly say I have never had better tasting meatloaf, even my own, Sooooo good.Service was great, I will go back. The beer was ice cold also, big plus in my book. john
Nicole T is the absolute best!! She has the whole bar on the weekend after Christmas and she is working so hard and EVERYONE is having a blast! Everyone has a drink and a smile!!! Thanks Nicole Dan/Miranda
Great cajun food and service. Dive bar feel on the inside with a nice covered patio on the side. We had a coupon that made this a great deal. EDIT: They DO NOT allow smoking on the patio. Also, the service can sometimes be slow when they are busy as there are usually only a few servers/bartender.
First time here. I will definitely be back. The food was amazing. The service was even better. Shelly will get me to visit again!
This is the best gumbo I’ve ever had in St.Louis. I hardly ever leave reviews this one is WELL DESERVED. Gumbo is a staple in my family and this just gave me a taste of “ home” after a very long week.
Great find! Lively place with excellent service and helpful, loyal, regular customers. Another group shared their table to help us seat a group of five. Then they began to tell us everything we needed to know about the place. Service was excellent and the food was just as excellent. The bread for the po'boy sandwiches was the best I've had outside of New Orleans. A dive bar with an unmatched local flair. Will definately return if we are in the area.
My wife and i went in for the first time the other day. Glad we did. Easy to miss from the road, but well worth the stop. Typical dive bar vibes. Food was great, and the service even better. The burgers were huge, and as good as you will find. Side of regular fries and waffles fries were huge. We enjoyed the jalapeno poppers, and thry came with a nice spicy ranch sauce. Most impressive was Nicole our waitress. She was pleasant and attentive. All while serving a completely full bar and multiple tables. She didnt miss a beat. I would consider this place a HIDDEN GEM.
