This is a "St. Louis Institution," so I've been told. I made reservations online, which seemed to work after I sternly reminded them of my "reservation" (however, they still didn't recognize me once I got there). First - the food: It's is "okay" at best. My family was in town, and we are healthy eaters (not ridiculous tree-hugging hippie eaters....just not fried EVERYTHING). Our attempts to select anything remotely healthy were lost. And, the house casserole was fatty, tasteless, and disgusting. Second - service SUCKED - Our waiter messed up our side order of pancakes (and even the "one pancake" he brought was bland), and despite having scrambled eggs on the menu, he refused to serve us any sunny-side-up??? I bet if I had asked for eggs to be deep fried, that baby would have come out with a smile and a huge pat of butter on top! Don't waste your money.
Pros: Fat people watching during the summer.
Cons: Sub-prime food and bad service.
