Vera B’s Southern Kitchen

Good food very nice staff. Long wait for the food, however the music and staff made up for it.

Hey there,
this place is rockin. great food, excellent customer service, best atmosphere, really this place has become one of my favorite places to eat. Let me tell you. yeah their blacken tilapia is awesome. The best I ever had. Yall need to check them out. For real. They are the best.

I had been seeing this place as I go to Regal Theater at the St. Louis Mills. I never knew it was a restaurant. I Got the word to go check it out, and found it just inside the mall right across from the movie theater.
I tell you the food was delicious. I loved the shrimp poor boy. You get some big, succulent and savory golden shrimp seasoned just right on a beautiful soft tender bun with just the right amount of everything on it, so that nothing takes away from from the shrimp flavor which I love. The shrimp poor boy was better than some I have had. I got the real shrimp flavor, and not all the other condiments flavors.
I love onion rings and Vera B’s served hers up and the onion sttings she calld them were succulent, sweet and served hot with a golden light batter. She calls them string onions, I believe, and they were all so good.
I sampled the loaded fries just for the fun of it, and they were good, however, not as good as those onion rings in my humble opinion.
Now to top that off, I had some of the best sweet tea I had in some time. It was refreshing and sweet… you may want to let it sit in the ice a bit, if not, you will feel that sweet tea with the sweetness rush you.
They have some of the best customer service, I have encountered and almost thought I was with family. Great service from my waitress, I hate I forgot to get her name. She is the pretty one that is dark chocolate and thick.
But let me tell you, I am not a nut lover, but they got this sweet potato pie with nuts on it Praline Sweet Potato Pie with whipped cream… it was just magnificent. Talk about a delicious rich treat. You can taste all the ingredients and I have had none better.
Will be going back… over and over again.

Possible one of the best Sunday brunches I’ve had in a long time. Ate here 4−10−16 at noon. The chicken was juicy and the fried skin very crispy and flavorful. Would’ve gave it 5 stars but the biscuits were hard and kinda stale and the price a little on the high end. But again the service was great and the staff very happy and nice. Came over with an iPad to let my daughter watch PBS kids. Overall very good place to try out for sure.

When there after church with my pastor. The mac and cheese balls were da bomb. Collard greens were well seasoned w/​smoked turkey. My husband loved his chicken & waffles. The portions were perfect and the flavor was funamenal. Although we were stuffed, we could not walk away w/​o desert so we ordered one of each dessert to take home: Carmel cake, sweet potatoes praline pie, banana pudding and peach cobbler. I am well pleased.

Outstanding experience! Very friendly staff. Clean, well kept dining area. The food was super!!! Reminded us of going to Grandma’s house for those warm family gatherings. Don’t be confused by the location. If you like «real» food, prepared fresh by those who really care and love what they do, get in your car and GO!

We were stuck waiting for our product to be personalized, so we stopped in for a couple drinks and lunch. Laverne was the BEST. She was just rolling with the flow, despite being evidently short handed. Her sister-​in-​law made me a burger that brought a tear to my eye. I know «TheMills» or «St. Louis outlet» has seen better days, but grab a bite before your next movie, or better yet make a trip just to eat. I know I will be back soon.

Loved this place! I was at the mall the weekend for a hockey tournament and wandered in… great find. Staff– extremely friendly and welcoming– our whole party eventually showed up by word of mouth. You do not get service like this in this day and age! Food and drinks– awesome.
Hold on to your hats– we asked if they would open at 7am for a party of 10 to have Bloody Mary’s– they set up, served and delivered on it. Vera– your daughter and her staff are doing great things!

Ironically, this little gem is located in an outlet mall just outside of St. Louis and ten minutes from the airport. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, but unfortunately, it was closed for a week for the holiday. So, we had to order at the take-​out counter and sit in the food court. I hate food courts. The food made up for the empty cafeteria feel. The fried macaroni is a must have. The collard greens were made with smoked turkey but tasted just like smoked ham hoc. They were a little salty but excellent. My mom’s chicken ‘n dumplings are the best, but the dish here was a very close second. The sweet tea hit the spot. If I’m in the area again, I will definitely go out of my way for this soul food experience. The two people at the counter were incredibly friendly.

I will definitely come back. I ordered the catfish with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was so tasty. It is honestly the BEST CATFISH I’VE HAD IN MISSOURI!!! Staff was friendly and welcoming, music was great for lunchtime. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been too inside a mall. Cant wait to try the other dishes.

Wonderful location, friendly workers, excellent food. They also have family friendly karaōke on Thursdays. They’ll book private parties too.

Services is very fast, they even catered to my picky children with custom made dishes not on the menu.
The food, OMG The FOOD. I can’t believe this place is in a mall. I’ve been blessed to eat around the world and New Orleans to many times. I would put this place against any of Orleans finest. The staff are so friendly I almost thought I was back home in Kentucky at a family owned diner or as child eating at my Grandmaw’s who wouldn’t eat until it was cold because she was serving the needs of her family. Hats off to the staff and chief.
It’s absolutely a must have while staying in St Louis.

Went here today to try it with 3 others. everyone liked their food. the wait stuff was nice, even though there was a little bit before we saw our waitress again. i thought it was better then the generic mall food (i.e. Asian, sub place, etc.).

The place was nice and I will return. I believe this restaurant will appeal to almost everyone but nothing extraordinary for anyone.
I ordered fried chicken, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. The fried chicken was too bland. Not terrible or anything but missed making any impression. Mac & cheese was great — maybe a little sweet for some people. Mashed potatoes were good not great.
Overall solid experience in a mall. Exceeded my expectations actually, but nothing to draw me back.
Enjoy if you are at the mall.

My dad and I had dinner here before seeing a movie at The Mills. The menu had us hooked at first glance! I highly recommend the chicken and waffles and the fried okra was to die for!

I had the fried chicken dinner with mac & cheese and steak fries. Everything was very good and had just the right balance of seasoning. All of the staff were very attentive and nice. I will definitely be back!

Vera B’s is definitely a great place to eat! B’s WING DINGS (HONEY HOT) have me hooked lol. Not only is this a great place to eat, but to be entertained as well. They really connect with their costumers. It’s not just about the bare minimum of a service in exchange for currency like other restaurants. They’re bringing comedy, music, and much more to create a most pleasurable and memorable experience. And it definitely goes without saying that the food is a hit!

The only reason that I can muster a 2 star review is because the food actually tasted good. We arrived and were promptly given a drink, and that is as far as the good service went. There were only 2 other tables here eating when we arrived. All 3 if our drinks remained empty for over 10 min before the waitress came over and asked me after if I would like my salad out before my meal. (All sandwiches mind you.) 15 min later she brought out my meal and still had not given us refills. Now over 40 min into our stay so far) She took my cup and left to go get my family’s food. When she reappeared more than 5 minuets later, she had thier food, but my drink was still missing. She took the other 2 drinks and came back after another few minutes admitting she wasn’t sure who had which glass. I have written thus entire review while waiting to be acknowledged so that we can get our bill and leave… we have been done for at least 10 minutes. Unless service can be improved we will not return. That is unfortunate as the food is quite tasty over all.

This place is absolutely amazing– well seasoned food. nice ambience. .way better than Sweetie Pies. …
