St. Louis Bar & Grill

Best sports food in the city with friendly polite service. Some nights a bunch of loud drunken ladies are screaming about their depressing lives. I wish they would ban them.

I have only gone there for lunch. Great place and service. Better if they have at least 1 more staff. I've been there dozens of times and usually is only one server. She does a very good job but as I said. They should have at least 2 to speed things up.

St. Louis Bar and Grill is one of the few chains that I actually quite enjoy. The St Louis Bar here has an old school pub feel to it. It's never been extremely crowded every time I've gone, but it's just loud enough to enjoy a game (in particular, the Game 7 between the Raptors and Nets). The place has 2 floors and a patio in case it starts getting all claustrophobic up in there.

Ordered wings as a group and had the Garlic Dill Chicken Sandwich. The Wings are pretty good. They aren't the largest, but they were naked wings tossed in a good amount of sauce. i had the authentic buffalo which wasn't really spicy at all. The chicken wings were done very well and it comes with steak fries which are oddly good at scooping up that dill sauce that St. Louis is apparently famous for. 

The Garlic Dill Chicken Sandwich ($12.99) is breaded chicken breast tossed in hot sauce. Then it's sandwiched betwen a brioche bun with cheddar cheese, bacon, onion straws, lettuce, tomato, and garlic dill sauce. The sandwich is pretty tall so it's a challenge to eat, but it's an impressive sight. The chicken was a bit small but the rest of the ingredients meshed together still made for a pretty good sandwich.

Great place with a good atmosphere. Did I mention the waitresses were pretty hot? I know that's what most of these places are trying to do, but St. Louis accomplished it. Parking here can be a pain as it can fill up rather quickly, but there are lots everywhere, especially on the weekends. Definitely would rather come here than other bars and pubs in the area.

I came over on a Tuesday night with a friend after a fierce night of badminton.  My friend told me that they have a half price wings special on Tuesday nights.  This location was jam packed because the Raptors were playing the Wizards in a playoff affair.  We ended up sitting at the bar and the playoff atmosphere was electric.  This place was pumped!  The Raps got hammered on this night :(  Luckily, when my pound of Cajun wings ($5.99) arrived it was super crispy and delicious.  The fries that came with it was super fresh, right out of the fryer.  Even with a ginger ale instead of my usual beer it was still a treat.

We met up at St. Louis on a Tuesday to take advantage of their half priced chicken wing special. The St. Louis location in North York is made up of two restaurants. There’s a normal St. Louis on the first floor, and the second floor is called The Lounge with more seating, a nice patio and louder music...

Atmosphere: The St. Louis location in North York is made up of two restaurants. There’s a normal St. Louis on the first floor, and the second floor is called The Lounge with more seating, a nice patio and louder music. The Lounge serves the same menu as downstairs and offers the same specials. There’s lot of TVs with sports and the tables are packed together. If you’re stopping by on a Tuesday, get there before 7pm. Our group was second in line and it was only a 10 minute wait for a table. As we were leaving at 9pm, the line snaked all the way down the stairs and out the door.

Service: Our service wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t great. At first our group was split between two tables of 4 that were diagonal from each other. When a table cleared up next to one of them, we were able to move easily and the servers were helpful. It was a busy night and it was hard to flag someone down. I felt the service was a bit disorganized and not the most efficient.

Food: When the baskets of wings arrived, I took out my camera and all of my friends snickered. “Are you going to take the same picture of each basket of wings?” they asked. I had to oblige once the challenge was put forth (I’m only posting 6 though, the other two baskets were more fry than wing).

St. Louis runs specials every day of the week but the Tuesday offer is the best value for wings. With a drink order, 1lb and 2lb wings orders are half priced from 4pm to close, making the price/pound being $8 after tax and tip. I am also a big fan of St. Louis’ fries and their signature garlic dill sauce, going through a good package-2 per basket.

For wing flavours, we tried the plain, lemon pepper, cajun, medium dry, hot and honey, Caribbean jerk, chili lime and honey garlic. In general, I liked the dry spice wings better than the saucey ones. Of the dry flavours, my favourite was the lemon pepper. The acidity was crisp and the spice from the pepper was light. Between the three sweet flavours, I had a hard time telling them apart. All of them were fine and none stood out as amazing. I really liked the Cajun and the Caribbean jerk was my least favourite. Each chicken wing was small to medium sized and there was an even ratio of drumstick to wing. I was full after 6 or 7 wings while the boys at the table had a few more. Each basket came with ~8 wings.

At the end of the night, our bill came to $15/head which was a great deal.
