This place is great. One of my favorite places to go to for dinner dates with my wife. Food is always delicious. Their specials are always new, interesting, and amazing. The staff is super knowledgeable about the food and also take my wifes AIP food requests with care. Fantastic experience all around.
We had a $100.00 gift card and were so excited after hearing good things.Bought the jalapeno brats that were dry and w/o flavor, the skin was tough as well. We also purchased 2 ribeyes that were mediocre and 2 bacon jams that were OK. We had $6 left so I picked out some seasoning, havent tried it yet, but we wont be back.
Bring your appetite; large portion sizes. Great service. Fun Butcher Block martinis (if you like gin try their Disco Devil 10). The Roasted Local Apple Salad is great. Steaks and pork chops are hefty portion sizes and a cooked superbly. The pork chop with the sweet potato hash is fantastic. Their burgers are excellent also. Probably the best french fries in town. The flash fried brussel sprouts are good, but they could be better if they had a little less oil on them.
In all fairness, the steak did say it came with steak sauce, but I assumed it would be on the side. I’ve never gotten a high end steak laying in steak sauce... the sauce was good. No idea about the steak because I couldn’t taste it. The Mac and cheese was great!
One of our favorites in town. Because they use natural ingredients and grass fed steaks this was always a place we could hit up if were were trying to do keto or Whole 30. I always go with the ribeye steak and fries, but get the sauce on the side.Rarely have we seen the place packed with a line, but we may just be going at awkward times. Ambiance is pretty chill. They have a solid draft beer selection. Service has always been good to great. Parking mostly off-street with a smallish lot behind it, but the side block right next to the place usually always has spots.
I absolutely love coming here. I never have any complaints with them. Service is always excellent and the food.. OMG THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR!
The Block is one of my favorites! The burger is outstanding. The steak (and sauce) is perfectly prepared. But if you need comfort in the cold weather, the Pork & Dumplings is one of the most perfectly balanced dishes I have ever had!
The atmosphere was warm and cozy with a hint of refinement. Its a great place for a date or a nice evening out. They staff couldnt have been more compliant. Very friend and knowledge. They are butchers shop so vegans need not come. Offerings were exceptional. The brussel sprouts appetizer are excellent, not healthy considering the bacon and bacon grease but they were brilliant! The flatbread with chicken and pork special were absolutely delicious. The Block is definitely a step up from the chain restaurants and below a restaurant in clayton. It is perfectly situated in Webster Groves. I high recommend.
Quality in every regard. Service and food were excellent and served in the safest of environments
Service was great and so was the food tonight
Ordered an 8oz filet mignon thru Uber Eats for my wife’s birthday dinner, arrived very well done and not even edible. Who cooks filet mignon well done anyway?! Paid over $40 for a steak she couldn’t even eat because it was so over cooked. Kindly called to explain the issue and offered to drive over and pick up a new steak. They talked to the manager and came back and told me it wasn’t their issue, but blamed it on Uber Eats and said that I could pay for a new one?! Wow, what an offer! Lost a customer and will be sure tell all of my local WG friends and family how lousy they treat paying customers. Trying to support local restaurants during these difficult times you’d think they would want to keep customers??
Great flavors on every dish. Pizza was particularly good, the crust is just perfect. Make your reservation in advance, the place is packed pretty much all the time. Well worth the trip though.
An interesting butcher/restaurant with very tasty food. The interior is modern with a cool vibe and outdoor space. We got the 3 ribs as an appetizer. Kind of an odd choice for an appetizer, but so delicious. They are huge and they fall off the bone. For entrees, the pork chop with a sausage/asparagus hash and the most amazing whipped potatoes along with the chicken and roasted potatoes. Overall, a very great experience with some meat that makes you feel good where it came from. Will definitely go back.
One of the best restaurants in St Louis. Casual but upscale. Great food and affordable. Always outstanding service
Bella is amazing!
We had a very nice family dinner tonight - requested by my son for his birthday. Immediate seating as promised. Imaginative food that was reasonably priced given the quality. Burger, steak, and trout were all well prepared and satisfying. Entrees were a little bit salty for my taste but seasonings and sides were artful. Melon basil sorbet was delightful. Very comfortable dining room. Extremely pleasant staff. Recommend.
Great steak and curbside service.
The food is exquisite and its at reasonable prices. Also, unlike many restaurants today, you can actually hear yourself think and converse easily with fellow diners.
Always had good food and drinks here. The burger, open face sandwich, pork chop and pork and dumplings are all delicious. Cant wait to try others. Also a good atmosphere. Kid friendly at earlier hours and theyll seat you towards to back or more intimate and theyll seat you closer to the front, or so Ive seen. Never had to wait long and service has been good. Also the bus boy ran legos out to the car that my son forgot...Yup, 5 Stars
Great food, large drinks, waiter worked at an excellent pace, not rushed but not forgotten. Going back ASAP. 5 stars.
I sat at the bar and received prompt & attentive service. The crispy brussel sprouts were so delicious. Happy hour includes different appetizer selections and $6 cocktails. Id totally go back!
Great food. They are getting 5 stars even though Isabel was our waitress and not a very good one. If your lucky to have Terry or even the manager Angela wait on you which is who ended up filling our drinks and helping us, you will have a great experience.
I have a lot of food intolerances, so restaurants can be tricky to navigate, but the Block team handled it amazingly. Chef came and sat at our table to talk though my options to make sure I got what I needed, and the food was perfect. Great, friendly service, very accommodating kitchen, and delicious food. Well be back!
A bit slow on service, but worth the wait. Excellent food, the Amish chicken is so tender and juicy, and the Mac n cheese with bacon. . . .so good! They do not accept reservations, so go early or late on weekends, avoid 6pm.
The steak was worth the wait. Literally, a melt in your mouth experience. Actually, the wait wasnt that bad for considering it was Saturday evening and during the Webster Groves Blues and Jazz Festival. Maybe a little bit pricey, but I would still recommend it to my friends.
This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants! The drinks are amazing and the food is out of this world. Ive always had great service when dining here. I would love to try the homemade ice cream, but I never have any room left after eating their delicious dinner and drinks!
Weve been here twice since moving to the area about a month ago. Really, really good food and drinks. If you can get a seat in the bar area the Happy Hour prices are a nice discount.
My dinner experience started with a 1 hour wait to get our food followed by the worst steak I’ve ever been served. Seriously I so wanted this to be a great restaurant but it disappointed in many ways. Starting with the size of the steak. Unlike most great steak places that prepare a thick steak for grilling, this place served me a $36 dollar steak that was barely a 1/2 “ thick. For a place that prides itself on doing their own butchering, this is unforgivable. But the real disgrace was the taste which was dry, over cooked and tough. I wound up eating just the broccoli which was over seasoned but I was starving and didn’t want to wait another hour for a “do over” steak. They took the uneaten steak off my bill but no one including the manager seemed too upset about it. I’m not sure anyone even apologized. Stay clear of this place.
If you like your entrees to arrive an hour after being ordered AND all you food to taste like salt (Mac & cheese, bread, fish, beef ribs) then this place is for you. No clue how this place has good reviews. FYI had party of 6 - everyone had same opinion.
My wife and I love to Expkore our city and this destination was by far the best. The food was Superb and our waiter which happened to be the bartender (Patrick) also was AMAZING. We will definitely be back.
I love my new neighborhood Webster Groves and all the stuff to do in this area. We went here the other night, the food was excellent and the service was excellent. I definitely would recommend this restaurant.
From start to finish the Block is awesome! Ive know eaten at both locations and they definitely hold a standard... Great atmosphere, wine, and the food??? Its a must go to place. Alex @Webster was our waiter.
Got 4 burgers and 2 kids burgers, charged $2 for a sauce that barely covered a bottom of a Dixie cup. Service was horribly slow, when asked after waiting for nearly and hour And still no food, I asked to get a soup, I was informed, she only has 2 people in the kitchen and it will probably take longer than the food to come out. We thought we would get some desserts, bread pudding and a brownie with ice cream, the ice cream was scoped with a Mellon scooper, and the bread pudding was smaller than a half dollar and it was burnt. Needless to say it was over $160 with the tip and I would never again want to experience this again.
The Block is a gem. Intimate with a casual elegance. My husband had the brisket sandwich which was delectable. I opted for the Russ ic tomato bisque with the beet salad. The service was excellent. Daniel was wonderful full of information and attentive as was the staff. If you have not tried this place, your sleeping.
Tonight was my first visit to The Block. I heard they had great steak. We arrived and were told the wait was about 40 minutes. After 25 minutes I asked how much longer. The hostess and her trainee, who were both around 19 years old, said another 40 minutes to an hour. I said we were told initially the wait was 40 minutes. They both said no we said the wait was 40 to 90 minutes. For a place that doesnt even have a price on the menu for steak, this was most disappointing. We left.
$$$$ - Be aware; google reviews Good is the second lowest rating. If there was just a Fair that is how I would rate it.Ribeye was nothing special - I mean, it was good, it wasnt leather, it was cooked how I asked, but I cant say it was a great experience. A little salty.The Petite Medallion was good, a little sweet. The Rib was mostly fat with a touch of meat here and there, and was so peppered the flavor of the beef was missed.Now the $7.00 piece of carrot cake we took home - well, it was good, not to die for. The most impressive part was just how THIN of a slice of cake it was. Literally, this piece of carrot cake was less than a 1/2 thick at the heavy end. I really have no idea how they sliced it this thin and got it into the box without it falling apart.In closing - if you are a yuppie and want to eat at a place that claims local purveyors, this is your place. If you want a steak where you taste the meat, and a good meal, maybe firing up the grill at home is a better option.
Amazing place- food was spectacular, decor was perfect, music was quaint. Most of all, the blackberry lavendar pie was the best dessert ive ever had. Will be coming back.
One of my favorites! I always bring our out of town guests here and they love it. Great service, atmosphere and food!
The food was a little on the salty side for me. But it was still very good.the service was very good too. Its my second visit to that restaurant. Would definitely recommend.
A good restaurant. Food was spectacular, decor was perfect, music was quaint.
Their harvest salad is one of the best salads Ive ever had!
Just landed at the airport and wanted to eat something so we stumbled across The Block online and decided to go. It wasnt really out of our way so it worked for us. We didnt quite know what to expect but were very pleased. The food was absolutely fantastic. Very simple but full of flavor. Definitely farm to table and was perfect for my paleo diet. The portions were just perfect enough to fill and satisfy. Next time I fly into St Louis, I will make it a priority to stop in again.
Perfectly prepared food at an affordable price. Service is great. Wish the bar area had more tables, especially during happy hour. Cant beat their smokehouse manhattan. Try the ribs and Amish chicken.
Previous comment: Food was so salty it was not enjoyable, told waitress and my concern was not addressed appropriately. Not happy at all!New comment: thank you for the response. It’s unfortunate, because I think the salmon would have tasted ok if not for all the salty vegetables and top of the salmon was over salted. My taste buds at that point were gone. Also, if you are going to say your fries are garlic and herb, throwing a ton of garlic salt on them doesn’t cut it. Use real garlic and herbs.I did eat the salmon, but I feel I should have had a free or discounted meal, or asked if I wanted a new meal/vegetables. Thank you.
Only been for lunch, but the beet salad and roasted chicken & lentil soup were very good. Impressive detail - crispy chicken skin brought flavor and texture to the soup. The service was great, and the food came quickly - important for a weekday lunch.
Very good! I had the pulled pork. The sandwich was hot and delicious! Friends had the Amish chicken and baked Mac n cheese. Everything looked awesome!
I visited The Block with my boyfriend and his family last night and we were unfortunately all very disappointed. Our server was very polite and gave us two recommendations from the menu - the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Pork Dumplings. It took us well over an hour to get our food. It wasnt crowded at all - maybe just four or five small tables of guests along with ours. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich at the servers recommendation. Im pretty sure that they actually served me a Short Rib sandwich instead of pulled pork because it didnt look or taste anything like pulled pork (and short rib meat was featured as a flatbread special on the menu). It was very bland and looked like pot roast. I had my boyfriend try it also and he was very confused and agreed it didnt taste anything like pulled pork. I asked the server for some BBQ sauce and he looked at me like I had five heads. He brought out a tiny ramekin of BBQ sauce that seemed to be thrown together in the kitchen and it was pretty much straight vinegar. I used it anyway to try and make my sandwich better (no luck). Out of the five people at our table, only my boyfriend was okay with his pork dumplings and he will eat and be happy with pretty much anything. The other person who ordered the pork dumplings hated them. Someone else in our party ordered the pork chop and another the burger. We all agreed that the food lacked flavor and we could go somewhere else and have a much better meal for much less. They charged us $3 for a teeny tiny ramekin of garlic aioli to eat with our fries. Thats just silly. Its a cool little spot with a nice atmosphere but not worth another visit. Its sad when the best item on the menu is the french fries but that was the case here. The garlic aioli was good too.. but, oh yeah, $3?! Ummm, yeah, nope. Bummer.
Went during Happy Hour and ate off HH menu. Great food. Nice outdoor seating.
Loved this place. The pork chop was the best Ive ever had. The service was good too.
There is no doubt that the food at The Block is good. I wouldnt say the steak is great but the white wine pork was wonderful if youre into heavy food. My biggest complaint is you cannot make reservations, not even for a large party which resulted in almost a 2 hour wait. On top of that we had a birthday in which case I brought a 5 inch cake surrounded by cupcakes. I asked them to keep it in the kitchen for me only to be told that if you bring in a cake there is a 2.50 per person fee similar to a corkage fee as if I brought in a bottle of wine. Seriously, there was no effort required on anyones part for me to bring this cake in. Even if they didnt store it in the back while we ate there is still a $2.50 per person fee. I hardly think I should have to pay an additional $25.00 to bring in a $12.00 cake after we just spent over $500 eating there. This policy will have me not returning to this restaurant, like a said the food is good, not great.
Amazing steaks and sides and the best old fashioned in St. Louis.
The decor of the restaurant is modern and simple but elegant. The steak is well done and juicy. The staff is friendly. Their steak is different than Annie Gunns or 801 chop houses but it can rival them with lower price point.
The Block is amazing! Ive been twice now and each time has been delicious, and have had outstanding service.
Great burger for lunch! Server could not have been nicer! And we came in almost at closing.
Always a favorite, fresh new items on their menu each week.
Awesome food. Good small atmosphere. Staff is typically very good.
I would like to have more options for chicken and fish in the menu. The flash fried brussels sprouts were the best I ever had.I may go back just for that.
Great Atmorsphere, delicious meat. We ordered the burger and it was juicy and had great flavor. Everything else downhill. When we walked in no one greeted us for a bit even though it was very slow. We had to wait to be sat even though half the tables were empty in the whole restaurant and 5 people working. I ordered a burger with bacon, ketchup and also an entree salad. It was 45 mins before our food came out. The burger did not have bacon nor a side of ketchup and the salad was soggy. Both were small portions for the price. When we asked about the bacon he said he would simply take it off the bill but did not offer to bring out new bacon. Another 8-10 mins to run the CC. Someone called after us thanks but we were already out the door...again, 5 people working the floor and only 5 tables sat by the time we left. We probably will not be back.
Ive been here many times.This was the first I really wasnt happy with my meal. I picked a pretty pricey off menu special. There was nothing special about it and the olive tapinade took over the whole dish and very salty. Im wondering if they had a change in chefs.
Always good food. Highly recommend the bacon jam and pan seared brussel sprouts.
Exceptional food and customer service.
Very Good food and service. Try the Bacon Jam appetizer...so good.
Great bar service, very friendly! Good beer, but a small draft selection.
Awesome drinks. Great food. Wonderful evening
Tha food, and atmosphere Were great!
Some of the finest bartending and food Ive had in this entire country.
I have always loved The Block and feel fortunate that it is just a short walk away!
Id been to The Block before, and it was a good experience. This time, with a large party, it was awful. Reservations were not honored, (we came in at 7, only to be seated at 8) food was cold and took an hour and a half, allergy needs were not catered to, we didnt get taken care of. Really disappointed in the whole ordeal. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone ever again.
Grass Fed Beef always very good. Food hot!
Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere. Great place to go for a date or family dinner.
Great place for meat, cocktails, and beer selection. Reasonable prices, too.
Wonderful food. Great service.
Good food, service, always tasty
Great beer selection and good food, Steaks and burgers.
Havent checked out dinner yet but I had a fantastic lunch and the cocktail selection was awesome looked inspired. I will be back.
Great food and our waitress Rebecca was amazing.
Excellent quality food and great service.
Great Food, great bartender, great atmosphere.
Great food and great service!
My last visit to The Block was about 6 months ago - our server was awful and my husband wasnt in a good mood, so I left feeling very eh. But Im super glad that I went back tonight with my father and grandfather! I decided to jump in an try new things! The two other times Ive been, I got the pulled pork sandwich and a side of the potato and bacon hash - which is absolutely incredible! But I didnt want to get caught in that rut where I order the same thing every time. So my dad helped me switch things up! He ordered The Three Pigs sandwich and I ordered their special sandwich for the evening - beef brisket with Swiss. And we didnt swap out the side, we went with the fries and pickled veggies. And let me tell you, these fries are spectacular! Theyre thin cut (think McDonalds size), perfect amount of crunch and perfectly seasoned! As for those veggies - I usually dont care for pickled things, but with these I could really appreciate their fresh taste. I believe they made them and they havent been sitting in a jar of chemicals on the shelf for the past three years.The brisket sandwich was enormous! - think long sub sandwich. Now, this sandwich was very nicely seasoned and very yummy and I would recommend it to everyone. However, The Three Pigs, was out of this world and puts every other dish to shame! The meat on its own was so freakin flavorful! I dont even remember what cheese was on top because it didnt matter! Im glad that this is one their menu all the time - I can return and have it again soon!(Then theres dessert. I will warn you, their desserts run a little small, which makes me sad.) Their chocolate ice cream with candied bacon is simply out of this world! But, like I said, I was determined to try new things! So dad and I shared two scoops of ice cream (cinnamon and coconut brown sugar) and the Chocolate Malt Pudding. Ice had the cinnamon ice cream in the past and have always loved it, but I have to say that the rest of the dessert put it to shame! The coconut brown sugar tasted less like coconut and more like the most amazingly delicious brown sugar ever! Both dishes came with a gingerbread cookie which was surprisingly sub-par comparatively - too cakey and not very gingery. But the pudding also came with two toasted marshmallows! The pudding was very smooth and almost had the consistency of a thickened caramel sauce. It was super sweet and you get a pretty decent portion so I was very happy! Fingers crossed that at least one of these desserts are still on the menu!next time I visit!
Great atmosphere and food. Also a nice chill spot.
Great service, price was reasonable for a restaurant that deserves a special visit pork chop was the best Ive had yet.
Food was good! But dont go in expecting anything less than a pound of salt in anything you order.
Food was good & service was excellent.
Very nice dentist very concerned about his patients
Great cocktails and great food
Best burger I have ever eaten!
Everything was amazing and crafted professionally right down to the cocktails. Will be back!
Absolutely amazing food and service. I cannot wait to go back!
Food that makes you salivate every time you think about it!
Got a great burger and salad here.
Great food and service.
Delicious food. Sterling service.
Great apetizer, good entre
