Annie Gunn's Restaurant

The restaurant is packed. Guests are seated like sardines. It is loud but it’s got its own vibe. The food portions are large. Food is just edible. They use high quality ingredients but it’s way too greasy, way too raw, and way too salty. The bread rolls were warm and fresh but there was nothing special about them. The scallops on the seafood appetizer tray were mushy and had a funny taste. Jumbo shrimps were chewy but had nice charcoal grilled flavor. Salmon was just ok. Burger was too greasy and salty, thick cut bacon was almost raw. Although the fries were my favorite of all, they were just plain basic fries. Apple pie with Clementine’s ice cream was absolutely delicious, and highly recommended. Having said all of that, the service was beyond outstanding. My waitress was experienced, attentive, kind, and generous. She was the one that made this visit a memorable one, not the food.

Hard chairs - bring a cushion. Ham and bean soup was excellent. Most people got some type of hamburger. Lunch prices were reasonable. Homemade chips were just potato chip style - nothing exceptional. Regular fries were just regular. Good service, but took a while to get served. Not too loud. Note - this menu is totally different from the Smokehouse menu which is right next door. I'd actually prefer to order from the Smokehouse menu rather than this menu.

The Failte' Room was the perfect location for my daughter's wedding reception. We entertained 52 guests at a sit down dinner. Everyone was impressed with the wood, the glass, the chandeliers, and the private bar service. Dinner was chosen from a menu with Steaks made-to-order, Chicken Madeira, Herb Crusted Grouper, and Pasta with White Sauce and Vegetables. Combined with Appetizers, Salad, and Wedding Cake Dessert, everything was delicious!! The room was the perfect size for guests who loved to dance! Thank You to Annie Gunn's for providing a wonderful dinner reception, to Ryan for putting together a perfect menu, and to Sherri for managing the event. Every detail was flawless. The wedding and reception were only one day, November 1st, but the memories will last a lifetime!

Annie Gunn’s is a must see if you are in the area. The food is as genuinely out of this world. Visiting the area from Chicago, I had my expectations set low and I was completely blown away. The filet was so beautifully tender and delicious and don’t get me started on the mashed potatoes, asparagus, and butternut squash. The potato pancake appetizer was my favorite thing ever. Drinks were heavy and the staff was very kind. We weren’t able to get a table but we sat in a little nook at a bar top which was perfect. Tell Kimberly hi if you stop in!!

Everything here was excellent. The food, the service, and the atmosphere. We ordered steak and roasted chicken. Both were perfect. The glazed carrots tasted like candy. The bread pudding was great too. We made our reservation online and couldn't get in at the time we wanted. I think if we had called, we might have gotten a table closer to our preferred time. That would be the only thing I would change.

It was perfect for our two year anniversary. The waitress we had was so sweet and knowledgeable. The food was very delicious. Definitely will go back.

Moving reviews over from Yelp. This was originally written on 12/10/16 but we've been back more times than I can count since. To some extent a 5-star review for this place is almost a foregone conclusion. As many reviews as they have already there isn't much I'm likely to be able to add but I will describe something that may not be what brings you here in the first place but will certainly bring you back...their burger. Described on the menu as having been named "best burger in STL" almost seems like an understatement when you finally get hold of this half-pound masterpiece. They cook it exactly the way you order it - a rarity these days - and serve it up nice and hot. The beef patty is clearly made by hand and gently formed instead of being smashed. This leads to a lighter, less dense feel when you bite into it. They also must be resting their burgers very precisely because what I received was still not yet incredibly juicy and well seasoned. I ordered mine topped with a slice of their aged cheddar and it was perfectly melted and added a distinct bite to the flavor profile. A couple of pieces of crispy, thick-cut smoky bacon topped it all off perfectly. Put all of that on a hearty brioche bun that was toasted on a flat top grill and dress with vegetables at the peak of ripeness and it really was a fantastic burger...at least the half of it that I got to eat. The other half went to Kid 2 because she blamed me for ordering her the small size of their filet mignon and thinking it wasn't enough food. Live and learn...next time she will be having the burger too.

We came to Annie Gunn’s for a special engagement celebration lunch gifted to us by a close friend, and from the very first moment, it was clear we were in for something exceptional. She coordinated the reservation for us, and between her thoughtfulness and Judy’s hospitality on the Annie Gunn’s side, they absolutely knocked it out of the park. It wasn’t just a meal — it was the kind of experience that stays with you. Service: Tyler took care of us during the meal and he was phenomenal. The perfect blend of warm, personable, and professional. He managed to make everything feel effortless — checking in at the right times, offering great recommendations, and really leaning into the celebratory moment with us. On the coordination side, Judy deserves a huge shout-out. You can tell she genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences. She and our friend worked together to line this up for us, and the handoff between the planning and the actual in-person service was seamless. That’s rare, and it speaks volumes about the pride the staff takes in what they do. Food: Every dish was a hit, no exceptions. Fish & Chips: Perfectly crisp, seasoned beautifully, and flaky in all the right ways. The fries were thick, golden, and the exact level of indulgent you hope for. Comeback Sauce: So good it deserves its own menu section. Tangy, creamy, addictive — the kind of sauce you start inventing excuses to keep eating. Chicken Fried Steak & Mashed Potatoes: Comfort food executed at a level most restaurants never reach. Crispy outside, tender inside, and mashed potatoes that tasted like someone actually cared while making them. Apple Pie: To die for. Warm, spiced just right, and easily one of the best finishes to a meal we’ve had anywhere. If you skip dessert here, you’re making a mistake. Atmosphere: The vibe at Annie Gunn’s feels classic, confident, and timeless. It’s upscale without being pretentious — the kind of place where you can relax into the moment and actually enjoy being there. Even during a busy lunch service, it felt calm, intentional, and incredibly well-run. It’s obvious the team knows how to orchestrate a great experience from start to finish. Overall Experience: This lunch meant a lot to us. Celebrating our engagement is already special, but having a close friend set this up, and having Judy and the Annie Gunn’s team elevate it with such care, made the day even better. We walked in expecting a nice lunch. We walked out genuinely impressed, smiling, full, and feeling like the celebration had been honored in the best way. Huge thank you to Tyler for the outstanding service, to Judy for the hospitality and coordination, and to our amazing friend who made the reservation and helped create such a perfect moment for us. Annie Gunn’s didn’t just serve great food — they helped create a memory we’ll hold onto. If you're thinking about coming here, especially for a special occasion, don’t hesitate. This place knows how to make moments matter.

Every course was amazing. This was one of those rare meals where everything from appetizers to dessert was flawless. We began with the fried green tomato appetizer, which was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the perfect sauce paring. The crab on top was such a good combination. Could not recommend it more. We had the heirloom tomato salad, a special that evening. It was so fresh and a vibrant standout. It was so simple but absolutely delicious. For the main course, we enjoyed both the New York strip and the ribeye, and each was cooked to absolute perfection. Juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. Since it was our anniversary the restaurant treated us to a lovely surprise: a slice of warm apple pie topped with cinnamon ice cream. The combination of the flaky crust, spiced apples, and creamy ice cream was nothing short of heavenly. A thoughtful and delicious way to end an already incredible meal. We'll absolutely be back!

Annie Gunns is a St. Louis mainstay. Consistently fantastic. Do yourself a favor and get the smoked seafood platter-- it is the highlight of the menu. Service is always spectacular, managers are friendly and knowledgeable (I'm looking at you Ryan), and food is consistently great!

Annie Gunn's will always be special to us. We had our wedding reception here, so coming back for our anniversary just felt right. Once again, they made it a memorable experience. The drinks were fantastic. The Bloody Mary had the perfect kick, the Maker's Mark espresso martini was smooth and bold, and the dirty martini was exactly how it should be: strong and delicious. We started with the carpaccio, and it was phenomenal. Easily one of the freshest we've ever had. It melted in our mouths. A really nice touch was the sparkling wine served with all dinners, which added to the celebratory vibe without us even having to ask. We were also treated to a complimentary apple pie with cinnamon-flavored Clementine's ice cream for our anniversary, and it was just as good as it sounds. Warm, flavorful, and the perfect sweet ending. The service was wonderful. Multiple staff members checked in on us to make sure everything was going well, and they were genuinely kind and attentive. The lamb chop was cooked perfectly, and my husband loved the sweet & savory glaze. A few small things to note: the caprese tasted super fresh but could have been colder, and the filet, while flavorful, wasn't quite warm enough. The plate was actually hotter than the steak itself. We were also seated at a table in the bar area with our 6-month-old (which wasn't ideal) but we made the reservation the same day for 7:30pm and felt lucky to get a table at all. All in all, Annie Gunn's still knows how to make a night feel special. We're so glad we chose to celebrate here again.

Having to stay in for our anniversary meant carryout. We found out one of our favorite places actually does offer carryout outside of their deli/meat market menu. The experience was truly just as impeccable as dining in. Everything was packaged nicely, especially given part of our order was their cheeseboard. It was very easy to order with friendly staff. We will definitely be ordering again for date nights in. It's the experience you love from Annie Gunn's but to-go.

This is my friend's favorite restaurant and it definitely didn't disappoint! The service was top notch. Adam - our server - was amazing! Super friendly and took care of us! The restaurant is poppin' - fairly loud and lively. We ordered: Shrimp (6) - very smokey Foie gras - the medallion was a bit small for the price but tasted amazing Potato soup - very creamy (but I don't really like potato) Steak - friend said it was good Duck - the duck was cooked to perfection and the sauce that paired with it was incredible - the wild rice that came with it left something to be desired - it tasted like licorice Miro special - this was so unique and yummy. Sweet, salty, spicy, all the flavors Creme brulee - creamy and custard - no complaints This place is great and I'd definitely be back the next time I'm in town

I've never had a bad meal in the 30 years I have been eating there. Steaks, seafood, meatloaf, salads, appetizers, all excellent. The service was very professional, friendly and experienced. You get a warm feeling like your in a cabin in the mountains. You can even get a cubby table that makes it more private.

Ask for Kimberly and tell her the Lip sent you. Clearly a first ballot for the Server Hall of Fame! Her wonderful and dedicated support allowed the three of us to decide on a plethora of tasty appetizers, unbelievable entrées and decadent desserts like crème brûlée. We drove in from Chicago earlier today and we ended up sitting in a little nook shown in the pictures. I wouldn't change one bit of this story. The food is beyond what the nearly nine hundred reviews say. Come and enjoy the quality of their cuisine heaven.

Phenomenal night being taken care of by server, Tyler. Highly recommend, deserves raise!!

WOW!! My boyfriend and I came on our three year anniversary for a date night. We started with a couple drinks and they came in a timely manner. I got a crisp dry Sauvignon blanc and he got a tequila neat (no judgement there, he's put up with me for a long time) To start, I ordered the caprese salad special - this was so delicious and the basil was crazy fresh. My boyfriend got their famous potato soup - and i gotta say - I will be dreaming about it until I can come back for it. Next, I ordered their filet mignon and my partner got the sirloin. Cooked to perfection and the flavor was immaculate to where I didn't need extra salt or sauce! (Which is unheard of for me?!) To add, the creamy whipped potatoes they came with were also amazing and the sweet vegetable was great for my palate. We weren't expecting anything for it being our anniversary but they gave us complimentary champagne and a dessert. The apple pie with the cinnamon ice cream... o m g.... It is a MUST TRY. I couldn't believe how good it was. Apart from the food, the service was outstanding. You could tell the staff genuinely wanted us to have a good experience and they worked well as a team. This company knows what they are doing and are doing a dang good job. We will 110% be back.

If you want an amazing steak, this is the place to go! The Cabernet cracked pepper butter is so delicious and both steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare. The sides are also delicious. The sopa de tortilla was excellent. I recommend trying the apple pie with cinnamon ice cream if you want a top tier dessert. It was incredible. I really don't think you could miss with anything on the menu. Our server, Elizabeth, was lovely. She was so knowledgeable and took great care of us. Overall I can't recommend this place enough. I would make a trip to St. Louis just to come here!

Excellent, Excellent!!! Best Bone in Fillet I have had to date. The charr crust and favor of the meat was excellent. The ambiance amazing. They have a market attached to the restaurant, you have to visit, you will buy something. Now let's talk about the Deserts, they all looked and sounded amazing, we went for the Bread pudding!!!!! Words can't describe how incredible it tasted. Oh I have to add the smoked BBQ shrimp, to die for. You need a higher amount of Stars to rate this restaurant. The servers were also very, very good. The lady that served us was beyond amazing and very knowledgeable

I've been coming to Annie Gunn's for many many years, and in all that time, I've never had a single bad bite of food--everything here is absolutely delicious. When my sister visited from Virginia, I knew I had to take her to one of the best places STL has to offer. Chef Lou and his team consistently deliver, and our lunch was no exception. We had the French dip, and it was flawless. The bread was crisp yet soft, the roast beef was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly, and the au jus? Real, rich, and full of flavor--exactly what you expect at Annie Gunn's. But the grand finale was their apple pie with cinnamon ice cream. It's always the best, and this time was no different. Without a doubt, the world's best apple pie and cinnamon ice cream--just heavenly. If you're looking for exceptional food and service, this is the place. Annie Gunn's has been a St. Louis gem for years, and it continues to impress! The new addition and outdoor seating is beautiful. And our server, Lauren was responsive and engaging.

Probably my favorite restaurant in St. Louis. The food and service are always top notch. Never had a bad meal at Annie Gunn's. Best oysters I've had anywhere.

Annie Gunn's is the perfect spot for an elevated date night. They have an enormous wine list, and their food is incredible. My husband and I had an excellent dinner here to celebrate his birthday! For an appetizer we ordered the crab cakes. I liked the addition of more southwest flavors from the black beans and chipotle aioli, but the andouille sausage did overpower the crab a little. For our main dishes, my husband got a fish special they had that night which he really enjoyed. I ordered the 6oz filet mignon. While the sides were a little bit lackluster, the steak was probably the most delicious steak I have ever eaten. Our server was attentive, as well as all of the other staff members moving throughout the restaurant. They were extremely busy (as I'm sure they always are), but we were still checked on frequently. Because it was my husband's birthday, they gave us a slice of apple pie with cinnamon ice cream. It was the perfect sweet end to a very tasty meal! I would highly recommend making a reservation fairly far in advance - they book up early!

If you want a warm and hearty meal this is the place to go! Delicious food and the best potato soup I've ever had. Definitely need a cup of it. I like the variety of fish depending on the day. Service was excellent and server was very attentive. Love how there js a shop next door where you can also pickup fresh groceries and ingredients. Definitely try the apple pie!

I'm not able to make frequent trips here, but every visit has been an amazing experience! Kind of pricey but well worth it! Location kind of challenging! Easy to see from the interstate! But getting there requires getting off on exits that require some maneuvering! If you're not familiar with area you're going to need GPS

The food is delicious, the staff is inviting and engaging. The atmosphere is comfortable.

It's my first time here. I booked a table for Friday lunch. Cozy atmosphere. Food and service were excellent. Our filet mignon (medium rare ) and ribeye (medium) were cooked perfectly as ordered. We also enjoyed clam chowder every much. My little one got his own order fish and chips( snapper). I could taste the freshness in the fish. Tartare sauce was delicious, paired well with fish and fries. It'd be nice if the fish came in one big piece instead. Cream brûlée was to die for. We"ll definitely come back.

Walk into Annie Gunn's and you're surrounded by a warm, rustic atmosphere that feels both cozy and upscale. The potato soup was incredible--rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect way to start the meal. While known for their exceptional steaks, the seafood here is equally outstanding. The seafood dishes were fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented--an absolute treat for seafood lovers. The service was great, although the seating was tight, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an extraordinary meal, Annie Gunn's is a must-visit. Be sure to check out the market next door where you can get the best smoked prawns in STL!

Very conflicted on my star rating for this place. The pork chop was just okay, but the mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had. Service was pretty good too, and the ambiance is 5 stars all the way. But when the headline entree is just okay, 4 stars is as good as it gets. Came in on a Wednesday night for dinner. Would have had a wait for a table, but got a bar stool straight away. Started with their featured Manhattan. For $12 it was perfect. Complete with those really expensive purple cherries over one big rock. Ordered the pork chop for dinner. The chop itself was just okay. A bit over cooked (was not asked how I wanted it done) with chopped peaches and a béarnaise sauce. The peaches were good, the sauce wasn't needed. The chop just didn't have a lot of flavor to it, a real disappointment for a 'smoke house.' On the other hand, they laced the mashed potatoes with horseradish and they were Devine. I will begin putting horseradish in every batch of mashed potatoes I make from this day forward. My server/bartender had been working there for 18 years. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The wine list is a joy just to read through all the quotes. If I lived here, I would come back again and try the beef and seafood!

Annie Gunn's never disappoints. Loved my dinner here. Exceptional service and food. No visit here is complete without ordering the Smoke House Market Apple Pie with Clementine's Cinnamon Ice Cream. If you never have room for dessert, start with dessert. The best!

This is a St Louis institution with a cult following. Quite a number of locals (and businessmen) swear by this place. Reservations are a must as they seem to always be packed. Even with reservations, expect to stand around for a bit since people tend to linger. You could say it's that comfortable (or slow service, or table management could use some improvement). They should really do something about the upfront wait as having a bunch of people standing around the entrance isn't a really good look. In any case, I've been a few times for both business and family lunches and dinners. It's got the clubby, old school vibe you get at private social clubs. Wait staff are attentive enough. For food, it's pretty good. A lot of people rave about the steaks. I have had them all here and they're OK. What I keep coming back for is actually their burger. It's a pretty damn good burger, and one of the best in St Louis. They have a pretty good wine list. You can bring your own wines, as well. Corkage is reasonable.

The wings was very unique. I had them with thr mashed potatoes. They came with carrots. Very tasty. With the power YELP has invested in me I proudly issue five stars.

Every time I drive west on 64 I've wondered what Annie Gunn's is like. It sits there just south of the highway taunting me. It is one of those places you always here raved about. I wasn't sure I could call myself a true St. Lousian until I tried it out. I finally took the plunge with my wife and two kids. My 5 year old son is absolutely obsessed with steak so he had been looking forward to our reservation for weeks. Note, that the reservations for prime days and times can book up fast so you will need to think ahead. We ended up getting a 5pm reservation on a Sunday. When we arrived there were a number of other families with kids so we didn't feel out of place. Our server was fantastic and great with the kids. I liked the interior and felt the dark wood gave a warmth to the atmosphere. The place was pretty crowded, so I was glad we were slightly ahead of the rush. As an appetizer we had a cheese board that also had some sausage and fruit. Sometimes I get let down by boards as they feel overpriced for what you get. I was very happy with this one. For the meal my wife got a filet and I got a ribeye. They came with some whipped potatoes and vegetables. There were also some rolls. It isn't on the website, but there is an unoffical kids menu. My son got a petite steak with fries and my daughter got noodles. The fries were the right amount of crispy, the steak was good, and the noodles were excellent. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. The steaks were large enough that we both took enough home for a second meal. For desert my kids split the apple pie with ice-cream (Clementine's) and my wife got creme brûlée. So overall we enjoyed the night. The atmosphere was perfect, the service was superb, and the food was excellent. The only thing that was a letdown was that the market next door was closed. I'll have to come back some time and check it out.

Love the products but some of the women in the deli have an attitude and seem impatient. They act put out to take an order then forget half of it. Just brace yourself for poor service in the market

I long time St. Louis staple restaurant. As always the food was delicious and service was impeccable. I do feel that the interior needs a little update but overall great experience.

We stopped in at Annie Gunn's for lunch to celebrate a birthday, it had been quite some time since we had been and we weren't disappointed! We did make a reservation, though I think if you arrived early ( we arrived at 11) you would have been okay; we were seated right away. Our waiter was very prompt with the specials and bringing us water and drinks, very conversational and fun. We all ordered different things to try out several dishes, all were fantastic of course...we are talking about Annie Gunn's! We had the meatloaf, the French Dip, the beef tenderloin sandwich and the strip loin. All were wonderful (so great I forgot to get pics!) The birthday boy also had apple pie and cinnamon ice cream for dessert brought out to him! It was WOW!!! Let me say this was just lunch and their dinner menu is also amazing...if you haven't been, you need to check it out, this place has a very chill vibe, great for a date night, girl's night out (or a night out with the boys!), and they have a very cool store next door selling all kinds of food stuffs in addition to a full butcher shop. Probably a good thing I don't live closer....

My friends and I stopped in before a show at The Factory on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation but got lucky with seats at the bar. The bartenders were awesome, providing top notch service. They even gave us a heads up when other patrons were leaving so we could all sit together. They had a ton of delicious sounding seafood specials, including Oysters Rockefeller, which we ordered for an appetizer. I also split a humongous salad with a friend and order the filet for dinner. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had! Cooked perfectly medium rare. I can't wait too return, but will be sure to plan ahead with a reservation next time.

The food, service, and environment always exceed my expectations. A wonderful treat! Make reservations in particular for busy times.

Delicious food. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent pace of meal. Friendly and attentive staff.

Ate here last night with 3 colleagues and had a blast. Crab cakes, foi gras, and a smoked seafood plate to start. All were very good. Ribeye for dinner, nice mix of lean and fat on my steak. And then a trio of desserts. Sticky toffee pudding was the best of the 3. Bread pudding and creme brulee were both just ok (or maybe I was too full by then). Nice large restaurant that was still pretty quiet even though it was full. I really dislike those large restaurants where it is so loud that we can't hear each other talk. The best touch of the night was the server brought all of us a new, full of ice, glass of water at the end since the other glass was already warm.

Moved to Wildwood from Los Angeles and heard about Annie Gunns. Love everything about this place. The ambience, the service, the food, and the people. I have met some really nice people just eating at the bar. Since our first dinner I have went to Annie's for lunch, dinner, parties, and every time I'm not disappointed. I'll be honest we go at least 2-3 month and not once have I had a negative experience. The bonus is the Smokehouse next door, the best pies! Smokehouse is our go to for any occasion pies. I had friends of mine fly in from LA who are high end whiskey bar and restaurant owners and took them to Annie's. The had nothing but great things to say about it and enjoyed the experience.

This is one of my new favorites. The burgers are Fricken Yuge! For $15 , this is the bomb. Our waiter was super nice. Had nothing but great things to say about working here. We sat in one of the rooms with the sliding door for privacy. Nice.

It took us a while to try this place out and it took even longer to try to snag a dinner reservations so when I finally did, I was super excited. It was on a Friday night and I had to book it over a month in advance. When we got there, it wasn't what I was expecting. The place was more casual than I realized which was absolutely fine with me. My husband actually loves places with great food without the fancy feels. The thing that stood out the most was that I was slightly overwhelmed with how our waitress was being pushy as far as ordering food. She kept asking us what else we wanted after placing an appetizer, which was a huge meat and cheese board. She asked if we would also like a salad and another appetizer. We politely said no. I had a ribeye with mashed potatoes and veggies and my husband had a burger with fries. Again, she asked us if we wanted more food (extra fries/other sides in addition to our order). The steak was fine and my husband enjoyed his burger. Needless to say, we did not finish our meals because there was simply way too much food. I skipped dessert because we both had way too much to eat. I am fine with people being attentive but our experience I would describe as borderline annoying. Would I return? Perhaps someday. It's quite a drive though and I didn't really think my steak was better than places closer to home.

Went for my birthday after New Year day, January 2nd. The service was amazing, our waitress was vey knowledgeable and friendly. Told her I was celebrating a birthday and she made the night even better with an amazing dessert!! Can't wait to get back.

A solid spot for O'Fallon with a down home bar feel, however I will say that the filet I received was not in fact an intact filet. Having seen this before I was not surprised, just disappointed. The sides were great and the service even better. Just noting to myself to order something different next time.

Three words-"service, service, service". The food is pretty good too. Do yourself a favor and treat your family to this delightful legendary corner.

This will now be my go to restaurant for my birthday.. no kidding.. it only happens once a year, might as well spend it with the best steak in town. I said best because I've been to the nearby Ruth's Chris and Annie Gunn's is miles ahead in taste, ambiance, wine and overall experience. I'm never going to look any other way anymore, it's just straight to Annie Gunn's.. We ordered of course the steak and it's wonderful in every bite. It is complimented by the wine and the best side. The service was top notch as well. We arrived early and was seated immediately. The only issue I had, which is not a deal breaker at all, is the parking space. It's tight and if you park up front, you'll be beside the street. But like I said, this is a not a deal breaker and we can definitely park farther.

They are the 5 star in the St. Louis area! No one can be beat them. Consistently perfect from the waiters to the chefs in the back the servers everything is perfect about them. There was a time I was vegan and they said well we can make you a vegan dish and they gave me awesome grilled veggies, which is amazing! they cook with love and they truly care about your experience. They go out of their way to make sure that you feel special.

Tremendous food, service, ambiance and consistent customer care. You know to expect to pay for this elevated level of service and quality but it's worth it. A must have on your list.

Outstanding food and service. And priced accordingly. LOL My favorite Caesar Salad in St. Louis. And best potato soup I've ever tasted. If you haven't been here before, order a small cup of that potato soup. Of course, the steaks are fantastic. But if you get there at lunch time (before 2PM) try the meat loaf (if there's any left) or the chicken fried steak (neither is on the dinner menu, too bad). Also, best Bloody Mary I've had. And the super-jumbo shrimp from next door Smoke House - not on the menu but you can order by the each. LOL Only one small TV at the large bar. They said it is not a sports bar. But super friendly customers. You find yourself talking to people at the bar you don't even know. Overall, this place is top-shelf IMHO.

We had a small group dinner here on Mother's Day last weekend with my husband's local friends and really enjoyed our meal. Annie Gunn's is a local, old skool steakhouse my husband wanted me to try while in town. It looks kind'a rundown inside but I think that is the vibe on purpose. They do have some renovation or add-on going on right now on the far side. The meal we had was good - but it was heavy. We got a caprese salad which was OK but wasn't my favorite. The beefsteak-type tomatoes were somewhat squishy and too thick and it didn't have enough basil and balsamic so it felt kind'a boring and plain. We chose a filet add lobster tail and the filet itself was wonderful. They split the entree for us in the kitchen and plated it with our potato and veggie which made it much easier to share and perfectly portioned. I asked for the butter sauce on the side with the steak but didn't realize I needed to do the same with the lobster which was smothered in thick butter sauce. Gross. For dessert - we tried the apple pie and the famous bread pudding. Both were very good but the star for me was the cinnamon ice cream which I ordered a bowl of just for me! Overall, the meal was good and server was stellar. It was SUPER heavy though and I don't think I'd come here very often. Prices are on par with a nice, non-chain steakhouse so it was around $200 for two people.

If you want a top-end restaurant with an awesome, old-school steakhouse vibe, this place nails it. My personal favorite is coming to the bar for a guinness and salad/soup at 8 until close. Way more low-key but still awesome food.

I came to Annie Gunn's for a launch party in their back room. The event space was perfect for the group and there was a good size bar in the space. The room has some TV's so that was perfect for the presentation of the launch party. There were about 4-5 tables set up around the room people could sit at. For the event there was a buffet. The staff kept the buffet well stocked and came around often to pick up trash. There were also servers walking around asking about drink orders. This was the perfect event space that I could see being able to accommodate any event you're having. I only have 4 stars because I didn't really eat any food but everything else was great.

I am obsessed with Annie Gunn's. After priding myself on being a St. Louisan for (almost) 35 years, I had never been here and it's always been on my list of must dos. Chesterfield isn't an area I find myself in often, so when my mom suggested going here for her birthday, I definitely supported the choice. We came for lunch and had made a reservation several weeks in advance. I'm unsure how necessary that was, but it was busy when we left (we came during lunch time). Making a reservation is never a bad idea in my opinion. The restaurant has been added on to throughout the years. When you walk in, it's pretty dark and has a quaint pub vibe. We were lead out onto the expanded room with tons of windows and natural light (which I love). Our server was super attentive, knowledgable, and helpful. My mom ordered a champagne cocktail and I ordered a Diet Coke, drinks came quick and it took a minute for me to figure out what I wanted. It all sounded so good. I ended up getting the grilled striploin on baguette with Emmi Swiss cheese. It came with ozark forest mushroom grilled onion compote and French fries. When I say this is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had I mean it. The flavors complimented each other perfectly and the striploin was incredible. Great quality and cooked perfectly. Fries were nice and crispy, which is always appreciated. My mom got the burger which was outstanding. Also cooked perfectly and great quality. My mom then was treated to desert for her special day, which was apple pie. I'm not a big apple pie lover, but the crust was delicious and fresh. Will 8000% be back.

Haven't been to in years but the four times I went was exceptional! I hate that require 85 words!

Annie Gunn's is one of the best places in St. Louis for steaks in my opinion and they have one of the tenderest, most melt-in-your-mouth ribeyes I've had. The 14oz ribeye comes along with sides of mashed potatoes and side veggies but the. also I ordered the ozark mushroom steak gravy topping that was insanely good! Also, I started my meal with a bowl of the potato soup and very glad I did, it's delish. Service was wonderful and although it was a busy night there with a long waiting list I was able to get on right away and I sat in the bar area against the wall that was okay since I was flying solo that night at Annie Gunn's. The restaurant has an old school steakhouse feel that I enjoy and have ordered many a BBQ platter from the Smokehouse next door over many years.

This place is a go-to for anyone who takes their steak and seafood seriously--and their reservations even more so. It's almost always busy, so unless you enjoy hovering near the bar like a hungry hawk, I highly recommend booking ahead. The ambience strikes a nice balance between upscale and approachable, with a loyal crowd of regulars who clearly know they're onto something good. The menu delivers every time: perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and a few price tags that remind you quality isn't cheap--but in this case, it's worth it. One of the best non-chain steakhouses in the western suburbs. If you're looking for a memorable meal, this one absolutely deserves a spot on your list.

We have lived in the area for over 20 years, but never once visited Annie Gunns until this past weekend. The service was phenomenal. The energy in the room was incredible. Very nice interior and the food was amazing. I just wished it was a little hotter by the time it reached our table Will return.
