West End Grill & Pub

Just moved here from San Francisco and had the vegan sweet potato, veggie rice dish. It was amazing! It had a great sweet and sour sauce, but not too much. I also had a glass of wine for happy hour. Boyfriend had a burger and a couple of beers. The food was great, I like the interior of the pub and the neighborhood. Will come back for sure.

Way overpriced for the quality of food. we both ordered the $ 18 shrimp and andouille sausage kabobs. Shrimp was barely cooked, onions were not cooked at all. The only reason we went there was to use a groupon and when we redeemed it they said it had been already used?! The owner came out to show us that our name had been «circled» which apparently means it was used. At that point we explained we were paying regardless but he still refused to acknowledge that possibly someone on his side circled the name in error. Our waitress then said they have had this happen before… so apparently we aren’t the only ones that have been told our groupon has been used when it has not.
Groupon issue aside we have no reason to go back.
I wish there was a negative star!

Last night’s dinner at West End Grill and Pub was outstanding from the appetizer to the dessert.
We started with an appetizer off the menu of sausage and pepper flatbread. Easily shared and the dough was wonderful. I even ate the crust!
For dinner, we chose two specials for that evening. I had the baked sole and Mike was talked into having the mushroom sauced pork chops with gourmet Mac n cheese. My sole came on a bed of jasmine rice with peas and a sweet cherry relish on top of the fish. The fish was flaky, the rice tasty and the cherry relish put it over the top. Mike’s pork chop was fall off the bone and the Mac n cheese was the best I’ve had. I wish I could describe the flavored of this dish, but I can’t. It was that good.
For dessert, he ordered the apple cobbler. Now I hate apples but could not resist taking a bite of it. I ate half of it. Like a bread pudding and so delicious.
The atmosphere is that of a pub. No tablecloths or romantic aura. But excellent food. WEGAP’s specials change every night, so don’t go in thinking you’ll get the sole. But you will get a tremendous dinner. They are also open for lunch.

Had a great time, good drinks, amazing yummy food. Thats all i need to say. Would defiantly go again.

I’ve been meaning to review this place for years now. GREAT bar. The owner is a really nice guy, and the bartenders are great as well. The younger guy made perfect shamrocks into the foam if you order a Guinness, and the younger woman was very friendly as well. Their food was great, and as such, I would eat here a few times a month as I lived right down the street on Maryland Avenue. I’ve since moved away from Missouri, but this was one of my favorite places. Great combination of class, great menu, sports on the TVs, clientele, and staff.

Awesome bar!
Awesome seafood dishes especially the mussels!
Awesome servers; very pleasant, prompt & full of personality!
Awesome desserts!
Off the Central West End’s beaten path!
Don’t leave without trying the mussels!
Thank me later!

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. It was an interesting crowd, the bar side was filled with Blues fans who were really loud and into the game and on the other side where the dining room is was a lot of elderly couples. A solid mix of ages, mean must have been somewhere in the 35 year old range I’m guessing?! All joking aside, I just didn’t realize that the restaurant was connected to the theatre next door and many people had come there to eat ahead of time.
We picked this place because the menu looked intriguing! They were out of our first appetizer, but we were able to get the shrimp and grits which was so tasty! I had a burger and my friend had the steak medallions. The burger might have been the greasiest burger I have ever had (obviously grease = deliciousness) but it was a big messy to eat and my bun was so doused in greasy ooze that it was basically falling apart before I could eat it. The steak medallions came with fried zucchini fries and both were pretty good (based on the one bite I had) and had a lot of flavor.
Overall, this place was ok, not sure if I’ll be rushing back but it was a good meal.

Really enjoyed getting out of the lack of delicious, healthier foods in St. Charles County.
Great location.
Comfortable décor in the restaraunt.
Dinner was very good.
We each had a great soup and shared the chicken under the brick.
Healthy and delicious.
Wine selection could have been better.
Skinless chicken would have made it 5 stars.
Great evening out of the kitchen.
We’ll be back!
And may check out the theater attached!

Wow the food was great and the service was fast. It’s located in Central West End. It’s very casual and laid back. They offer good drink specials and the food selection is pretty good as well. From steaks to to seafood.
Prices are also very reasonable compared to other restaurants in CWE. I ordered mussels which were delicious and VERY GOOD. One plate wasn’t enough for me but nonetheless they’re very good.
The peach cobbler was also delicious and almost had that home-​style look/​taste to it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. It’s something casual for jeans and tee shirt kinda night. Enjoy

Brunch review –
Good basic brunch menu, my poached eggs were perfection in my eggs benedict. Breakfast potatoes were mediocre OK spices but cold and undercooked. Others in the party got steak benedict and steak egg tacos which looked tasty enough.
Service was standard, but nothing special. Maybe our server wasn’t a morning person, but she wasn’t the bubbly, chatty type.
Atmosphere — I don’t know, something about brunch in a pub is weird. I’d like to come back for dinner/​drinks sometime or happy hour but I won’t be rushing back for brunch.

I had my first visit to this Grille last week and I have to say I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! I ordered the flounder and it was delicious! It was a large portion of creatively prepared, and very fresh fish & accompaniments! Someone else ordered the meat loaf-​it was a large portion and delicious!
The Grille is adorned with photos of the Gaslight Square performers and all the wood adds a very nice touch…
It was a wonderful experience! Beautifully presented, very tasty food and I won’t hesitate to return again!
Every aspect of my experience was a positive one!

9oz ribeye with blue cheese au gratin and bacon braised kale was out of this world! Steak was tender and moist and i enjoyed it down to the last drop! The passion fruit martini was strong and flavorful my favorite way to drink. I will be back again.

Amazing! started with the Mussels. The sauce was out of this world and we even asked the chef Pablo about the recipe and he said it ‘s a 2 page recipe. I understand that on Thursdays, they have Oysters that I would love to try sometime soon.
Had a garden salad that was really good with the house dressing that is avocado-ranch.YUM.
Moved on to the Pan seared trout with Butternut squash Risotto and it was amazing. Cooked perfect with the right amount of seasonings, it just could not have been better. My friend had the under the brick Chicken and I tasted it and would definitely order that as well. It had a real cold weather, comfort food taste to it.
Service was wonderful, the feel of the place was cozy (we chose to sit in the bar area so we could catch the Blues game while we ate) and the Chef Pablo, a doll.
— Found out about a night of eating and wine which is held on the last Tuesday of the month that we can’t wait to go back for.
— parking was curb parking, but got to park real close which was awesome. -
–noticed a few tables out front, which when the weather warms up will be a nice place to sit and share some mussels and a cocktail.

It doesn’t get much better than this neighborhood hotspot that has an extensive menu and excellent food. Their happy hour specials are amazing including oysters on Thursday, but get there early because they will run out. I am also a huge fan of their weekend brunch. It’s an eclectic and impressive menu and like all the food I’ve had there — excellent. There are plenty of locals sitting around the bar and always a smattering of new patrons. If you don’t want the bar feel and just sit in the attached dining room. It’s never been too busy and I’ve been at all hours. My only gripe is what I consider a limited beer selection in terms of imports however I’m sort of a beer snob and my beer drinking friends say their draft selection is very good. They do have kettle one and ice tea so I can always get by.
There is a cabaret theater attached with a respectable lineup that I’m looking forward to checking out. They also have a rewards program which net you some nice discounts. Sign up for their perks program and they won’t blast you with too many emails but just enough. I’m pretty sure you get 20% or $ 20 off your next purchase after you sign up as well. And no need to carry your pretty plastic car just give them your phone number when you stop in for a cold one.
There is always street parking available within a block and they have sidewalk seating for the warmer months. Go, you will be glad you did!

The West End Grille is a great neighborhood bar and restaurant located on Boyle (a residential street, right next-​door to Juniper) near the Central West End. The bar itself is casual with TV. It’s a gathering place for locals who live in the neighborhood. The restaurant side has an upstairs theater (The Gaslight Theater) and is a great place to go for a night of food and entertainment. They serve great mussels, Sunday Brunch, and an upgraded menu for a neighborhood type restaurant and bar. It’s not fancy, but it’s solid and tasty.
What I like about the West End Grille is that it is laid back and unpretentious, but you can still get good food, a broad selection of wines and liquor and they offer the occasional wine tasting dinners and other events in a casual environment. They also attract fun and friendly characters from the neighborhood, which always makes for a good time.

Decent experience. The food is pretty good, staff is friendly but service can struggle a little when crowded. Worth a try.
WEGAP is nestled in a quiet side street next to the Gaslight Theater and a few other smaller shops. The outside is clean and hip with sidewalk tables against the large windowed store front. The inside set up is a little odd, with the front area being a little open and the bar set up in the middle of the room. Tables in the main room are oddly situated and spacing seems a little random. Not a real issue, it just struck me as odd when I walked in.
My friend and I ordered brunch, getting biscuits & gravy, an omelet, steak benedict, and cinnamon rolls. The eggs had a good flavor and the potato seasoning and cheese in the omelet were on point. The gravy for the b&g’s had an interesting flavor, not peppery like some gravy but quite oily. The cinnamon rolls were great — perfect amount of icing, slightly crisp outside and soft, moist inside. Overall, nothing blew me away but everything was satisfying.
I was surprised at how the food was presented, though, based on others’ pics from WEGAP. The eggs and extras looked like they were mixed together in a bowl and dumped on a cast iron grill with the burnt remnants of the last dish clinging to my eggs. Oh well, didn’t affect the taste.
When we went our service wasn’t that great. Our server was fine, he was very friendly and tried to be helpful, but I’m pretty sure for the first half of our visit he was the only server for the enter restaurant. The hostess and bar tender were just sort of standing around while the server ran from table-​to-​table. Coffee is über-​important for my brunch so him forgetting to grab mine until after our food was brought out was a downer. From other reviews it seems likely that this is uncommon. Likely just an off day requiring one person to wait on everyone.
I’ll check this place out again for some dinner and update accordingly.

Solid. I went here with a group of friends on a Sunday late morning trip for brunch/​lunch. The brunch options all looked tasty and reasonably priced. I opted for the French toast w/​melon salad (which came with hash browns like the other items under this part of the menu) and was happy with my dish ($ 6.95 for 3 full slices).
Everyone else in my party enjoyed their food (crab cake eggs benedict, some kind of omelette, mimosas) as well.
The atmosphere was nice, not too noisy or busy, and the service was friendly and attentive. I also noticed that they left toothpicks in the restroom by the faucets/​mirror, WHICH IS A GREAT IDEA, WHY DON’T OTHER RESTAURANTS DO THIS?

Hip place on the outskirts of the CWE. The burgers are big and there are several specials each day. The layout is interesting with a half moon shaped bar as the focal point. I have never been here to sit at the bar but it looks conducive to drinks and story topping.
The green curry mussels are quickly becoming one of the best dishes in St. Louis. There will always be more curry than mussels. *Pro Tip: Ask to get the extra curry to go and put it over your scrambled eggs in the morning. It will change your breakfast life forever.
Attached is a theater and special are run every so often. Wednesday is steak night and who can argue with that promotion?

I can’t sing the praises of this place enough. I have only gone there twice but each time I am totally impressed with the menu, chef, wait staff, blackberry sangria!
I had the pan seared trout and it was delicious. My husband had the Tuna… delicious, my son had the porterhouse… incredible but what was the dish that I will certainly get next time is the Brick chicken! Best food ever! Michael. our waiter was so patient, conversational, funny and impressed my 7 year old grandson. He was awesome. I love the atmosphere, location, food, staff, drinks! One thing, I love the sangria with a blackberry on the top and didn’t get it. That’s no biggie since that drink is the most tasty, refreshing thing I’ve had in St. Louis or anywhere. Oh, and the curry mussels are delicious. I could take a bath in that sauce! :-)

I need a drink.
Of water.
All the salt is drying up my insides.
So, I actually liked this place for it’s casual yet kinda classy ambiance and would definitely stop in for a cocktail but the food failed to impress me.
Everything was SOOO salty. To be fair, I dislike salty food so I had the bf taste everything and he agreed it was salty (he likes salty food).
To start we had the roasted garlic hummus with veggies and added pita for 50 cents which made it a total of $ 7. The hummus was good and had a nice consistency. It was garlicky and the topped it with crumbled pistachios. However, it was way too salty and the broccoli it came with seemed like it had been cooked which was odd as the carrots and celery were raw.
The bf ordered the Sundried Tomato Pesto Encrusted Salmon — $ 16.95. It came with citrus couscous and spinach. He said the couscous was good but salty and it looked a bit over done, to me. The fish was fine but bland and I wouldn’t say it was encrusted but rather topped with pesto.
I ordered the Skinny Plate — $ 8.95 and added shrimp for $ 4.50. It came with brown rice, veggies, and black eyed pea salad. The rice was over cooked and way too salty. The veggies were over cooked, overly seasoned, and way too salty. The black eyed peas salad was tasty but there was maybe a table spoon full of it on my plate and wait for it, way too salty. The shrimp was cooked well and overall pretty tasty.
I doubt I would eat here again except for checking out their brunch. I mean I would avoid it like the plague but I wouldn’t request it or seek it out. However, it might be worth checking out, if you like salt.
