St. Louis Bar & Grill

Waitresses (short brunette) here really need an attitude check.
I understand you’re busy but a simple answer to «do you have any availability?» would certainly appreciated.
With so many other options ill be going elsewhere.

Good wings, good service
Half priced wings on Tuesday’s, dine in only w/​Tha purchase of a drink. Dine in only.
I think I deserve a pound on the house for tht free endorsement

The wings are pretty good. This location is so quiet during the winter since it has limited space without the patio.

Went there on a Tuesday night for their half price wings. Holy moly it was packed! We Asians take our wings seriously :)
Anyway, I had the combo Cajun boneless and salt & pepper traditional wings. It came fairly quickly considering how busy they were. The wings were crispy and good. I quite enjoyed my half priced wings. For my next visit, I’ll just stick with traditional wings, it’s more fun albeit more work.

Generally speaking, I’m actually a big fan of St. Louis. My girl friend had never been there so I wanted her to try their delicious wings. I ordered half a pound of wings and fries (Buffalo Ranch) and she got the chicken tenders. My wings came dry to the bone. Fries undercooked. Wings were not as saucy as they usually are. Her chicken tenders were revolting. They looked like crap and tasted even worse. The menu said crispy. They were served soggy. We brought it up with the waitress (who was nice) but the damage was done. Took the food to go and called it a learning lesson. The sad thing is that most of the st. Louis’ I’ve been to have been awesome. It was her first time and she was totally turned off. :(2 stars cause of the server.

I probably eat here a few times per month. I come back because I do enjoy the food. Today was not typical of my past visits. I ordered 2 pounds of wings with fries. The wings were extremely small today. I know when some places get smaller wings they make it up in weight. This was not the case today. They were so small they were almost a nuisance to eat. Which I know sounds funny. Like I said I’ve never experienced this on past visits so maybe it was just a fluke. In addition to this issue, my waitress fell a little short today. The food arrived in an acceptable time, but once the waitress dropped it off I did not see her again. Except with her coat walking out the door about 35 minutes from when my food was dropped off. I did require a drink refill. By the time another waitress got to me I figured I’d just leave, so I asked for my bill. The waitresses name on the bill said Chelsea, but I’m not sure if she was the one who gave me (I don’t want to call it bad service) but it was actually no service at all. If it was her, she was a short brunette. The girl who cashed me out was a blonde. She was pleasant. I’m not one to complain. I’m only writing this review in hopes my experience is not repeated. I did still tip her 20% and I also contributed to an autism fundraiser they are doing.

Seriously, Don’t waste your money!!! EPIC FAIL!

Had it not been for our waitress, I would have given this place 2 stars.
This is my first time at this location and it’s considerably smaller looking than the one at bay street though I’m sure they’re comparable. There’s an outdoor patio and most of the seating is made up of high bar stools and tables. My cousins, brother and I walked in not knowing whether to wait to be seated or to seat ourselves. It’s not particularly busy but no one welcomed us or even seemed to acknowledge our presence. We ended up settling down at the back of the restaurant in a booth next to the kitchen still with no acknowledgement from passing servers that made eye contact with us. Moments later, menus were handed to my brother without a word and we just sat there and reviewed them I guess? Our server in particular who was also making drinks definitely made our dining experience better because of her positive attitude and charm. 3 of us ordered the Friday special which was a half pound of wings, half rack of ribs, fries and coleslaw ($ 19.99) with the purchase of a large beverage ($ 2.99/pop). My other cousin ordered a burger with sweet potato fries but the order got messed up and she ended up getting regular fries instead. Our server noticed and gave them to her on the house which I thought was a very attentive gesture. The food is pretty average and typically what you would expect from a bar. Ribs were very tender and could easily be cut with a fork, if you like them that way. Wings are standard and the coleslaw was lightly dressed which I surprisingly really enjoyed.
Overall, this location really doesn’t stand out to me food, people or atmosphere wise. But if you’re in the neighbourhood looking for some discounted food or drinks, be sure to check out their daily specials.
PS– no liquid or foam soap in the women’s restroom, please refill.

All the food I’ve had, I’ve enjoyed. Excellent wings. Love the menu layout. Fantastic nightly specials. I like the 3 course special on Saturday and the half price apps (I think it’s Thursday) service is very friendly, if sometimes not the most attentive. I also really like their specialty cocktails. Mmmm… Grown up root beer float…
Don’t get me started on the dill sauce. I could drink it with a straw.

This is a small busy spot on Yonge St. Consistent with others in the chain. I enjoyed the wings and ribs combo. Both were moist with lots of meat. Choice of several sauces. Onion rings were tasty and the serving is big enough to share. Servers are pleasant and attentive. A bit pricey but I was satisfied.

You can’t expect too much out of a bar franchise.
Let me just say this, I have been going here with my colleagues for the last year and a half. It’s a quick and cheap option that allows us to watch the game while getting a beer or two.
The food is mediocre and the girls at the front are super helpful. The service however is a whole different story.
There is a server there, her name is Helen. She dresses like a slob, she is super unprofessional and extremely rude. I grew up in the restaurant industry and i’ve worked every station, from busy boy to kitchen manager. This server is the reason why we and many more will never go back. She is absolutely repulsive and I can’t believe the owner would allow a single person to bring down their business like that. I am not alone in my thoughts! Even her co-​workers agree.
I do not come onto Unilocal to complain about servers, I have better things to do. I have had bad service many times, and i’ve never resorted to coming onto Unilocal.
But her service was disgusting, she had attitude to begin with and completely forgot about us. We walked out after 15 mins of waiting for our water, and as I was passing by her I explained to her that she was killing this business, her response was a «I don’t give a F» look“
If you are miserable, unprofessional, and don’t take care of yourself, you shouldn’t be working in the service industry. I think a call center would be more of a fit. Anyways, nothing bad to say about the food, nor the staff, just specifically that waitress.

Best wings and fries in town Love the environment.
Definitely recorded this place

Service — F and food — D
Went into the restaurant today for an early dinner. Even though only a few tables were full and there were two servers the service was terrible. The servers spent all there time goofing with couple of people at the bar.
Ordered a pulled pork sandwich and wings. Neither the pork nor the sauce had any taste and the wings were dry and scrawny.
Won’t be back.

Good wings, clean place, servers are great but in Tuesdays they ca. Be über busy so be patient. 10 fold a step above shitty «wild wings» which is not a great place. 2lbs of wings gets you 2 flavours with no surcharge and always free fries and veggie sticks!
100% Canadian

Came here for the Raptors game 6 playoff game so of course the place was busy but we did manage to snag a booth table for 6.
Food was good but average and what you’d expect from any other St. Louis or typical chain bar/​grill.
They did seem to be understaffed though with two waitresses for probably over 10 tables so it took a whole to order but food did come out in a timely manner.
It’s an average place, it’s not meant to wow you in any way, not a bad place to hang out though.

During my journey of downtown shopping, I ventured into St. Louis Bar and Grill. Seeking delicious and affordable food, I had high expectations with an empty stomach. After receiving our table, the waitress took our orders for drinks. The waitress mistakenly misheard me saying hot water as my drink (no harm, no foul). I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and chicken wings. Reviewed on the Android phone. Each paragraph represents an update.
My stomach is empty, making noises for food. Disappointed with the wait for my burger and chicken wings.
The wait for the food was justified. After several minutes of patiently waiting, our food arrived to the table together. The pulled pork sandwich tasted amazing. The BBQ sauce tasted amazing with the pulled pork. The fries accommodates the burger perfectly. The pulled pork satisfied my hunger.
Initially disappointed with the wait, the pulled pork sandwich stole the show. The atmosphere is cool and the décor is expected from a bar and grill. The food is a huge improvement from the Brampton location. My only disappointment is the service. The drinks and the check (or bill, which ever you prefer) were slow to arrive. I recommend this to everyone looking for a quick bite or place to hang out.

Nice, clean, and chill environment as befitting a bar franchise.
Went for some wings for lunch with some co-​workers. The wings were a little over-​fried but non-​breaded which is my preference. Make sure to try the garlic parm flavour, it is quite good.

I have been going to St. Louis since I was a young kid but there is something wrong about this location’s wings. They are constantly terrible.
Every other location tastes the same delicious taste, but this location’s wings always taste like half-​cooked pieces of cardboard. Not only do they get way too busy with ryerson and UofT students on cheap night with hour waits because they have zero seating– but I wouldn’t wish these wings on humans.
Go to any other location– like the one at the Atrium on Bay– trust me. Stay clear of this location, awful awful wings.

Je pense que ce soir là un des cuistots ou une des serveuses était malade car le service était trop long. A noter au les tables sont mal nettoyées.
Dommage car le poulet est très bon et l’établissement très bien placé!
I think we got unlucky because one of the cooks or waitresses was not here that night.
We had to wait 30 minutes for a table and I have to add that they were not properly cleaned.
Too bad because the chicken wings are very good and the location of the restaurant is perfect!

First of all, their spicy wings are ACTUALLY SPICY.
I ordered a pound of «Sweet Asian Heat», which is also the name of my upcoming 2013 calendar (No, not really.) I also asked for a side of the spiciest sauce they had. The Sweet Asian Heat was pretty good, but the hot sauce was out of control. I dipped half of my wings in there and could take no more after that. I was impressed. It still managed to be super tasty, not just spicy.
The wings were cooked just right and quite good. The service was really great, friendly and efficient, even though she was the only one on the floor. If this place had a darker, pubbier atmosphere, it’d have been perfect.
Oh, and the spicy caesar I got… top notch.

Ok so here is the deal — El Hornero is an Argentinean restaurant. People who order pizza or lasagna thinking the place is «Italian» make me laugh — quite a bit. Sorry guys! :-)
To give a little more prospective, Argentina is a country occupying the lower half of the South America, and has deserts and jungles in the North, with penguins and glaciers in the South. They have more people there for less territory than Canada has, and there are about 4 cows per each one person of the 37.5 million population. Which means — those guys really eat meat, hardcore.
I lived in Argentina for about 8 years and can tell you that they know a lot about dealing with meat, milk, and everything a cow is about. A process of preparing an «asado» (sort of bbq, but a really cool one) takes hours and requires some special training. If you only know how to make some (khm) ribs, and think you are good at it, better don’t try to get a job in Argentinean restaurant — you will be laughed at, and that will hurt.
Argentinean bife (yeah, that’s how they call what «stake» is supposed to be) is a result of a thorough application of art and science. If you ask it medium-​rare or something, you will be thought about as a person who doesn’t have a clue. That’s business, oh yeah, so they will serve you whatever you’ve ordered (including pizza and pasta) but… well I hope you’ve got a point.
There is some homework to be done before going to El Hornero. At least a google search and hopefully some reading about «asado» would help. Next step will be to get to the restaurant and order something you think you know what it is. May hurt, but your second attempt will be better, believe me!
As a big hairy A goal, you will make it to something which for the stranger may look like a portable stove with actual flames burning, and a pile of dead cow private parts slowly frying on top of it. At that point you may know what «churrazquito» is about, and maybe even dream about a «chinchulin», carefully looking around for some feds from the healthcare trying to protect your body from a certain damage.
When you will get to a «chimichurri» (and realize that it means «give me curry») and think about «ensalada criolla» as a viable alternative to «fritas», you may possibly notice a guy approvingly looking at you from the corner. That might be me. And a dude standing next to me and looking as a cook will probably be an asadero — an actual Argentinean national, and the owner of that place who stopped by my table just to chat a little bit in «castellano» (no, they do not call it «Spanish language»).
At that point you will be good enough with all those little Argentinean peculiarities and ready to become friends with whoever is worth it, enjoying a one of a kind food impossible to find anywhere else in Toronto. Simple as that.
Saludos hermanito, ‘ta bien si lo hiciste, felicidades! ;-) Y, naturalmente, «no llores por mi, Argentina — tu alma esta conmigo!» :-))
