Bones French Quarter

I really enjoy the French quarter! I have been here on multiple occasions and the service is always amazing! Being a female going to a bar, I don’t always get served right away — but the bartenders here always take extra special care of everyone that comes in! I have only eaten here once but the food was great! The appetizers and burgers are awesome. If you are looking for a place with great bartenders and a fun environment then give the French quarter a try! I can promise you will keep wanting to come back!
P. S. Monica is especially awesome! :)

So, I have been here 4 times. It’s a fun establishment to have good prices for beer and lots of party ppl.
However, I will never eat the food there again. I had just stepped off of a plane and my husband wanted to go there, so we decided to grab dinner.
First I ordered the ribeye sandwich and it smelled like rotten fish. I I am from Texas and pretty much any red meat is good with me
However, I took one bite and started gagging immediately. I took it to the bar and the waitress said, I wouldn’t be surprised, it’s been in there forever.
So I asked to have the French dip sandwich type thing, lol — think it was called brick slab or something.
I smelled it as I put it to my mouth and just couldn’t do it!!! It was the very distinct smell of spoiled mayonnaise. If you’ve ever smelled that smell before, you know that’s what it is.
I was embarrassed to return the sandwich, so my son ran it to the bar and said it wasn’t edible. Since my husband and son had both enjoy their hamburger I got a hamburger. It was actually really really good.
The manager was pretty rude about my returning two meals, but then the bartender came over to us and said she experiences this constantly.
I have been ill — bathroom speaking — for 24 hours. Pretty sure I have food poisoning. Please read my past reviews of other restaurants. I am actually probably too sticky sweet and complementary of most places, but this was an absolute crime. I can’t believe that they are allowed to serve food like this to customers and get away with it.
Go there, enjoy the beer, but do not ever eat the food!!! It just isn’t worth the health risks.

Full bar and tables but only one server. This is always how it is. The food is overpriced and bland.

This is actually the worst place to visit. If you think you’re going to go have a drink with some friends after a long night at work around 10 pm, think again. The bartenders are female dogs, if you catch my drift. They’re rude and petty. Unhelpful and decedents of lucifer himself. So yeah… Don’t go. It’s lame.

I love their $ 2 Tuedays! How could you beat the price for the amount of food you get!

What do you do when you walk into a place, and nobody’s sitting at the tables?
You sit at the bar. With plenty of company.
I got the Original Bones’ Burger ($ 6.99) — American, Swiss and grilled onions. I asked for no bun.
For my side, I got cottage cheese. No upcharge, YIPPEE!
This burger was grilled beautifully. The grilled onions were on the burger, and the cheeses were on top of the onions. I’ve not seen that before.
This was delicious, and it came with PICKLES, which were chips. I was afraid that they would be sweet. But they were dilly-​delicious. I ate them first. And I ate them all.
Monica, the bartendress and server, was so friendly, efficient and worked the bar beautifully with a smile.
Monica brought out a to-​go vessel, and I loaded up my next meal.
I’ve known about this place for 40 years and never been. What got me thinking about it was Paul K.‘s review of breakfast.
Which I still have to get.

Awesome hole in the wall bar in west county/​Ballwin. I highly recommend trying their breakfast too.

Honestly, I was expecting the food to be better and more authentic in about 20 different ways that I can think of off of the top of my head. I have often found that the smaller more divey restaurants can do a good, small, Cajun spread. This was awful.
The gumbo was a huge mess. Too salty to eat… I looked at our waitress looking defeated, and she immediately knew what I was going to say, and she politely offered to take it off the bill and bring me something else. I ate Buffalo Chicken Rangoons… and those too were… just that. Awful.
However — the PRETZELS there (the big baked ones!) were delicious! Baked right and crispy with a warm gooey pull-​apart center! We were pleased…
Aside from the jerktastic bar patrons that could use some extensive lessons in being a gentleman — the service was good, but the food was just… a huge letdown.
Come here for the drinks, bring friends or a group, not two girls alone having dinner, and don’t come for the food.

Our Group met there for the 1^st time and we had extraordinary service. Ashley and Monica are so efficient I was amazed. The bar was very busy, but they kept their cool and delivered outstanding service with a Smile … You gotta love it Excellent job
in all phases of their job. A+++

Excellent Prices. Employees are very welcoming and friendly. Decent people. I enjoy going to this place!

Food is ok,
But most of the bartenders are great

I really did not get the dive bar until I came here to review it. The pictures tell the story. Not mine the patrons. They do tend to have young girls dressed in short shorts serving the food. Got here about 8:30 and my brother in law and his girlfriend were waiting for us outside. Today is June 30 and the temperature was very cool to be eating outside. Our server was new and admitted as much so that helped when the mistakes were made. No biggies just her not knowing or remembering the things she wrote down.
The prices here are very reasonable and the food was good. Not 5 star great or really 4 star good. But price to food it was 4 stars. I had their rib eye steak and eggs served with two eggs potatoes and toast. $ 7.50. The steak should not be confused with anything near a good steak but for breakfast it was fine. Mrs. K ordered bacon and eggs and shared an order of French toast. She liked the French toast and commented that it was very good.
Overall it is a good breakfast place and maybe lunch. I am sure that when it is later the booze is flowing and that would make it interesting. In fact I also learned that you cannot get a bloody mary until after 9am. As the table next to us had to wait till 9 am to get their drinks oh the horror

Ok so it is just a «neighborhood» bar and grill. Nothing special, a ton of decent fried specials for lunch, but it is a great place to meet a bunch of friends and just kibitz about how to cure the worlds problems.
On the first Friday of every month 5 – 10 retired sales guys I worked with for 30 years get together for lunch and talk.
So they won’t win a James Beard award, but their dail specials are very, very good. And it is what you are looking for in a neighborhood bar.
Personally I love the cod sandwich with home made potato chips. Yes the chips have a ton of calories and fat… but who the hell cares? And if you are lucky the server makes most of the ladies at Hooters look like boys.

Great local dive bar with great waitresses that make you feel at home, and are damn good at keeping your glass full. Crowd is older earlier in the evening and gradually changes to a 20 something crowd as the night progresses. Good bar food… darn good breakfasts also. Great drink specials throughout the week.

Probably the best west county beer specials throughout the week. Tuesdays are your best bets and 3 of the prettiest ladies slingin witch… Stop in and see them for yourself

As far as breakfast goes if your not a regular you get ignored. We sat for 40 minutes then we heard the bartender ask the cook Hey what’s going on with our breakfast. Then they returned to the cash register like they were putting the order in for the first time. Maybe it had something to do with the bartenders doing shots of Jaigermeister at 10:45 am. with the regulars

We had a little work get together last night and had a few drinks at Tuckers. Some of the girls wanted to find a karaōke bar and were determined to get us all to the French Quarter. I had driven by there many times, but never stopped in. Needless to say, we were all dragged there for some drinking and singing.
I live an hour away from work, so I was in a suit and was way, way way, did I way over dressed. There was a smell as soon as you walked in the door, I guess to make you feel like your in New Orleans or something. The girls went to find the the book of songs. When they passed it 3 feet from my face I almost gagged from the smell. It smelled like a wet towel that in the corner of a 100 year old basement. It was absolutely discus ting. I still don’t know why they would even touch it when it smelled like that, however they had drank beyond there since of smell, so I guess understandable.
The place was packed for a Wednesday night, and if you are in the mood and dressed for a dive bar I guess it would be a great place to go. With the smell and the moldy book was just too much for me to rate it any higher.

I had been looking forward to checking out French Quarter since seeing their tent at Taste of STL with a long lone all night. Overall, I was disappointed, but the food was still OK.
First off, its hard to find. Small place in a small strip plaza, and the sign was not lit up at 8pm. If not for my gf seeing if before, we would have never found it. Upon walking in, it gives you the dive bar feel… golden tee, big buck hunter and loud juke box music. You look at the menu for a place called FRENCH QUARTER and would expect it to be cajun/​soul food. All they had that was ‘cajun’ was Crawfish and gumbo (which they were out of)
The service was TERRIBLE. Our waitress, who was also one of 2 bartenders, was slow and seemed disoriented in some way. She blamed it on another patron in the bar who she said «was a nightmare.» It was quite obviously an hour after this person left, when the service still sucked, that she was just bad at her job.
She came to get our food orders, I ordered a Crawfish Wrap and when I ordered the Sausage Gumbo she had to check to make sure they had it. About fifteen minutes later she came back to inform me they did not have it, and took the rest of the tables order. Not even 5 minutes later, my Crawfish Wrap that was ordered 20+ minutes ago shows up by itself and she apologizes that she had put it in 20 mins earlier. Then I discover they brought me a Chicken Wrap instead of what I had ordered. She fixed it, after everyone else had received their food.
I then asked for an additional side of the cajun dressing that came on the wrap, and received it after asking again twenty minutes later.
The check came, and was also incorrect. Had to wait a good ten minutes while standing at the bar to get that corrected.
Overall, TERRIBLE experience and I WILL NOT be back. Food was decent at best, but a sad excuse for a place called «French Quarter»
The only highlight was the 2 for 1 drinks, but around 9pm it seemed to bring in a very young crowd interested in drinking as many Red Bull and Vodkas they can fit into their skinny jeans.

I am really into dive bars. With that being said, you might understand that super trendy menus or flashy décor are not really that important to me whilst getting wasted with my various blind dates.
I went to Bones last night to meet another rando off the interwebs. Bones was an awesome idea. The crowd was super mixed up and eclectic. There was a forty-​something chugging beer out of a pitcher, a Brazilian/​African man hitting on a wasted face blonde chick and a flaming homosexual man in the women’s room trying to speak Spanish to me. There were some people kareoke-​ing some random songs. There were a handfull of business types, restaurant industry types, a Blues player, and some minors (they had stellar fake ids because even I got carded at 28!). I was totally into it.
Beyond the super cool crowd, the Wednesday night special is $ 2 pitchers of Bud Light or Select. You better believe I impressed the socks of my interwebs friend by drinking one of those bad boys down.
The only downfall: service was L A M E. I mean, the bartenders were nice, but my empty beer glass just sat there. No bueno to have thirst while on blind dates. 3 stars. I’ll go back on a less busy night I think.
