I appreciate chained restaurants for their predictability, and often reasonable pricing. Yet what differentiates a good branch location from an average one is the services. Our waitress was very friendly, eager to serve, and willing to go the extra mile. The lunch special stipulated the ordering of a large beverage. I wanted to order a light beer, she immediately recommended the special deal of the day ($6 for a pint). A pregnant co-worker couldn't order a beer to go with the lunch special. The waitress allowed her to sup with a soup. She would split bill no sweat. Patio was okay. What more could I ask from St Louis?
