Biggie's Restaurant

This place is such a gem! It isn't anything fancy, not the most romantic place in town, but they nailed it for great food, comfortable atmosphere, and great service. Perfect place for family, friends, date night, hanging with friends. It is a smaller restaurant so there can be a wait at times, but that is expected with the service and food and price they offer. The bread is fresh, salads are perfect Italian salads, and don't be scared to order the Crab Rangoon (It's awesome)! The portions are generous, and prices are fair. We had an excellent evening and have gone back to take friends there multiple times. Definitely recommend <3

This a local family style place. The food is classic and always good. My family has been going here for years and I will be taking my kid here when he’s old enough to eat out. Love this place, people and food.

Took my mom here and we both enjoyed it. Solid American style food with friendly staff. Split generous portions of potato skins and a very good steak sandwich. She is a picky steak eater and commented that it was great.

Had a pretty cool time at Biggies! It's like stepping back into a classic American spot, decked out with tons of baseball memorabilia and autographed pics. The vibe is totally quaint and charming with a nice little twist of Italian on the menu. We grabbed a mushroom pizza and a pepperoni pizza — both were decent, nothing wild. The Veal Parmesan though, really tasty but kinda wish there was more of it. Solid 4 stars, more for the nostalgia and the whole experience than the food itself. Worth a visit if you're into that old-school American feel with a touch of Italian flair!

Very affordable local place with huge portions. I got a half pasta and salad and couldn't imagine how much food would come in a regular size. Lots of outdoor seating, both in a covered area or uncovered area. Dog friendly (outdoors). Gluten free options!

My wife and I had lunch today. We both had cheese burgers, fries, and beer. The huge burger was cooked perfectly, the fries were hot, and the lettuce tomato, and onion were fresh. Our waitress was very good and the price was reasonable. We will dine here again.

Biggies is a Bar / Restaurant that leans more on the side of a restaurant with plenty of staff, indoor seating, outdoor covered seating and patio seating. It was clean and the food was good. They make the provel cheese daily (some of the best I’ve had) along with the onion rings… no pre-bought stuff here. See photo description for more detail.

Food was ok, got a to-go order. Very expensive. Girls up front were AWFUL!! Horrible!!! Talked awfully about another girl who works there, mocked her, while I was sitting just a few feet away! I asked for some silverware for my meal, and the one hostess rolled her eyes at me. The other was on her phone, ignoring me! Ridiculous! Do better.

Great neighborhood patio! Friendly staff, we were here on a Friday late afternoon and we were here just to hang out. Biggies delivered. I had no idea what to order, I asked for a recommendation and was told the steak sandwich. I was expecting something like a Philly, but the steak was truly, one piece on a bun, cheese and onions, very good, very tender. I thought about that sandwich all day and very much enjoyed the awning on the patio, that included fans for when it gets too warm outside.

. The salad had a lot of provel in it ! The pasta was very tasty. I would definitely want to try their other food. Servers were very helpful and nice . It's an older restaurant and lots of seating. Parking is a bit tricky depending if you end up by the one way and need to turn down another street to get into the parking lot

Large portions of pastas. Since pastas didn't come with salads we ordered a large salad to share. I thought the cheese on the salad was plentiful and tastes good. Had a little bit of a waiting to get a table on a Friday night but not too bad. Parking was tricky.

My coworker told me about Biggies. We decided to sit down for a bite and I was pleasantly surprised. We sat at a pub table. Lots of choices on the menu and the food came out pretty quick. They have a house French dressing that's so good! Our server was also working the bar but it didn't stop him from providing good service. The lighting was dim but not too dark. Perfect for dinner or game watching

This place is Big! It's amazing how many dining rooms and seating areas are available besides the bar area. Our server made some nice suggestions for dinner and appetizers. We ordered the appetizer sampler of potato skins, jalapeño poppers, and toasted raviolis which were very good. I ordered the Reuben sandwich which was tasty. The kitchen really cranks out the food, and we didn't have to wait very long for our meals. I'll be back!

Came here for lunch two weekends in a row, it does not disappoint. We also shared so we could have some variety. French onion soup was perfect on a rainy Saturday. The pasta con broccoli is top notch. Trashed wings are a must try. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was pretty good, whatever French bread they use is divine. I also love that they serve bread & butter at the start of the meal. They always seat us pretty quickly and the service is fast. One of my new favorite go tos!

Dropped by on a Saturday morning and we were quite happy with how the food turned out. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Service was fast and attentive with great recommendations from the staff. I got the spare ribs and they were tender and you can taste the smoky flavor. It wasn't dependent on the sauce to elevate and that's a hallmark of good ribs. The pasta and salad portions were perfect and tasty. I'd recommend the French dressing on the salad.

Came here for dinner before a night out. I saw that they had a patio and Italian food. This was a Friday night and we were able to get a table right away. We ordered everything to share - family style. Appetizer trio with pretzel bites, ravioli and potato skins. I loved it all, but not everyone did. The pretzel bites had a bit of a sweet flavor, the potato skins were very greasy and the ravioli had great flavor. I'd recommend it. We had a house salad and it was HUGE, all 3 of us ate it and still had leftover. The creamy Italian dressing was amazing. Lastly we ordered an alfredo with chicken and none of us really cared for it. The sauce did not have a great flavor.... it was disappointing. They also provide a bread basket and it was good. The bread was soft delicious. After ordering the server let us know the kitchen was a bit behind and things may take a bit. Cool, we were prepared for that. We were not quite prepared for this dinner to to take almost 2 hours... Overall, I'd come back for the food and maybe try another dish and would like to sit on the patio (others with me opted out).

Tried again too stupid roach in the paper bag we took our food home in. Might have come from the food box but don't want to think about it too much. All food pitched $80 dollars plus tip down the drain $100

Review #1900 Biggie's is a St. Louis Classic in my opinion. I hadn't been in a few years and stopped in on a Sunday evening for dinner. I had to have a dinner salad with the white French dressing. The dressing is a little sweet, a little creamy, and very tangy. There's nothing else quite like it. For dinner I ordered a pepperoni and bacon pizza with extra sauce. It was delicious. Nice crisp crust and provel cheese. My dinner date ordered the Fried Chicken which I believe is the Sunday night special. It's a 1/2 chicken with 2 sides. She was very happy. We both took home leftovers. The service is always friendly. This is a great neighborhood place and it makes me miss living in this neighborhood. We'll be back!

Excellent stop!! We sat at the bar and Sarah gave us great service. It was our first time here, and we were very pleased with the local feel, and servers who genuinely looked like they enjoyed being there. We split a cheeseburger which was very flavorful. Add the homemade sauces and you have a real winner!! We'll be back!

Biggie's is one of my favorite restaurants. It's normally order their Steak Sandwich, which is excellent. Today I picked up a carry out order and tried their 8 oz burger with fries. Awesome burger! And finally, I also ordered 2 bowls of the Saturday Soup of the day, Potato Ham. It's the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, friendly servers. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and family like atmosphere. My husband can either have a casual drink or go for an all out date night. It is appropriate for both! I highly recommend the wings and their pastas.

I am giving the bar/restaurant 4 stars, but not for the food. Service was good, ambiance is a typical South St Louis neighborhood bar, but as a plus the men's room appears to have been torn out, totally cleaned up and renovated. I only know the ownership slightly but am aware that one of the brothers passed away at a young age (I'm 67 so compared to me anyway) and the family has kept the restaurant/bar going. I've previously reviewed this bar for pizza, today I had the meatloaf special. It was 3 stars max. Food was not hot, it was warmish, but it went cool very quickly (my guess is the plates aren't kept warmed). The potatoes were the real thing but I barely nibbled on them. The reason, the gravy had an interesting flavor and went all over the potatoes and liberally on the meat loaf. I must be from a different era, the other meatloaf meals I've had, or prepared, came with brown gravy on the side or just on the potatoes and a tomato based meat sauce, if any, on the meat. I did not know the ground beef would come out with gravy on it, had I known that I would have told them bring it without the gravy. The portions were huge for a lunch, so as expected with lemonade and a tip it was $20. Lastly, corn was included and on the side but I wouldn't have served corn like that for a dinner at home. It looked like dried out canned corn like my mom pushed on us in the 60's, I couldn't even taste it. For a place to watch a sporting event, the drinks have always been fine, the bartenders nice even when busy, the apps are good and if people around you are getting pizza and it looks and smells good then I'd just stick with pizza.

If you haven't had the white French salad dressing, you're doing it wrong. Biggies is a south city staple and If you haven't been, you must go! It has a classic brick feel and tons of pictures all over the walls- family and lots of STL locals. I love the small and connective feeling you get when you go in. I've been to Biggies multiple times, so I obviously had to include multiple pics from multiple trips! The dinner salad is always a good choice because I love provel on anything, none the less a salad. Let tour is super fresh! As stated above, you must try the white French dressing, it is made in house and *chefs kiss* STL style pizza! The Buffalo chicken pizza with the mustard sauce was amazing, refer back to provel comment. Dipped this in their house made ranch it definitely hit the spot. The steak sandwich is served on garlic cheese bread. I feel like that's enough of a review in itself. Saved the best for last: I truly think their fettuccine Alfredo is some of the best I've ever had. The sauce is a perfect consistency and has just the right amount of Parm. Check them out!

Our niece introduced us to Biggie's Restaurant and Bar during our visit over Easter weekend. For 30 years, this family-owned and operated business has been run by 2 generations of the Preiss family. It was definitely worth the hour drive we made. Parking was easy with a lot behind the restaurant. We entered through the back door which led us through the enclosed patio. As we stepped into the restaurant the hostess stand was just inside. There were 5 of us so they sat us at a big, round table with elbow room. The restaurant consists of 3 large dining rooms with a bar area and enclosed patio. The restaurant has a rustic decor and laid-back atmosphere with the walls covered in photos and sports memorabilia. Our server, who's name I have forgotten, was wonderful. She arrived quickly for our beverage orders and returned promptly. She was very efficient with her trips back and forth to tables. The menu had a wonderful selection of appetizers, soup, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, steaks, chicken/veal parm, pork chops, baked/fried cod, shrimp, pasta plus more. All the salad dressings, marinades and pasta sauces are made from scratch. Don't forget they cater from 5 to 500 if you need their services. Our table ordered the breaded cod (4 pieces), a generous amount of Spaghetti and meatballs with thin spaghetti in thick meat sauce with tasty meatballs, an excellent large serving of Linguine Clams with long noodles and chopped clams in a white garlic sauce and lastly, two delicious pizzas; Hamburger & Pepperoni and Sausage & Green Peppers on a thin crust. Everything we ordered was wonderful plus generous portions. I loved the Linguine and Clams and my husband said the sauce and meatballs were one of the best he's had before. The slice of sausage pizza I had was very flavorful on a thin crust. My sister-in-law thought the cod was terrific but couldn't believe she had 4 pieces of cod plus 2 sides. Everyone walked away stuffed and satisfied. If you get the opportunity, try Biggie's. We will be back when we return to Missouri.

We had a party of 9 and the service was phenomenal she had so many tables and all over the place but we didn't wait long for much including alcohol ! The food was just alright the best thing was the steak sandwich by far. The other things pictured were good but not something I would come back to have. All in all 3.5/5

This restaurant has been around for a really long time. We went on a Saturday night and with another couple. We had high expectations. We expected a wait and we're fine with that, which was about as long as we were told. Then we sat down. We realized that others were coming in and getting attention and yet even after we were greeted, the waitress came to get our drink orders. After a while she returned with them. We were ready to begin ordering and then she ran off. It must have been about 10 minutes before she came back. Finally, we ordered. Again, I would say that we must have waited about 30-40 minutes for the food to arrive. It came and for 2 of us, the orders of chicken Parm came out looking wrong. We were all hungry and only my wife spoke up to another waiter as we hardly ever saw ours. In a few minutes a Manager came over and he saw the problems. He said they were sloppy in the kitchen and stated how they were extremely busy. The order would not be charged and a replacement would be sent out. By this time, the other 2 were nearly finished eating. About 15 minutes later one of the 2 dishes was replaced and looked better. We figured that we sat about 90 minutes and were finally getting that last dish. The Manager took off the one dish as the other person did not speak up due to being so hungry, he just ate what he had. My wife said we would not be coming back. I just had a big salad with cheese as I did not want meat in it. They didn't discount for no meat, but instead loaded it up with cheese, which was fine with me. I also inquired about adding cheese garlic bread and after getting a rather honest answer from the waitress, I did not order it. I thought the price of 9.50 was high for some bread with cheese and the waitress confirmed my thoughts, over priced on that. It should have been around $6.5 or 7.00. If it was, I would have ordered it. As far as the taste of the food, we all agreed it tasted good. But the wait time and lack of attention was disappointing. Originally , I wanted to get a pizza and small salad, but felt together the cost was too much for those items. Oh well, it must have been a really bad night for the owners as well.... Not really sure if we would go back, but wow they do have a following!

We are in from out of town and loved that this place is close enough for us to walk. We were surprised by the number of pasta and pizza dishes at a bar and grill type place. Ended up getting pizza, and 2 cheeseburgers. The menu is a bit overpriced we thought for the dishes. The cheeseburger was ok, nothing to rave about but they accidentally brought it on the garlic cheese bread for one of them and that was not the best way to have it but it was eaten regardless. Actually surprised by how many locals were getting to go orders and such. Would eat there again but is not on the top of the list of meals to remember.

It might not look like much but this might be the best steak sandwich I've ever had. If you're looking for great bar food and great sandwiches look no further. Biggie's has a very comfortable atmosphere that radiates cozy small restaurant energy. I have been coming here for years and have yet to eat anything I didn't like. The servers are always nice and attentive to your needs.

I enjoyed the homey feel of this local restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. They served the nice soft Italian bread with sesame seed crust to start the meal. I really enjoyed my salad and the creamy Italian dressing. For dinner, I ordered the chicken parmesan with a side pasta with meat sauce. The chicken parm was pretty tasty - I would've preferred a thinner breading that was a bit more crispy, and the chicken was a bit overcooked, but the marinara sauce was sweet and tasty. I really liked the meat sauce on the pasta. It had excellent flavor! My husband ordered the cannelloni for dinner. I tried some of his and wasn't a big fan. They didn't melt any cheese on top and the overly sweet sauce didn't really work on this dish. I'd probably be at 3.5 stars for this place, but would still come back if in the area.

Went here with some friends and their kids and we had a good time. Waitress was very nice and the place is kid friendly. I got the cannelloni and it was ok. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me. There was also no cheese on top which is pretty uncommon. Not sure if they forgot it? The 2 medium size noodles were filled with decently seasoned meat and cooked properly. I would have liked a thick meat sauce instead of the sweet marinara served with it. My wife got the chicken parm and it was pretty good. Chicken was a bit overcooked but the breading and flavors were on point. Side dish of red noodles were also decent. Nothing to write home about for either of these dishes, but a good laid back atmosphere to hang out and watch a game.

Neighborhood staple. Standard bar fare well executed Bartender is very friendly, didn't catch his name so I'll just go with "the boy with the dragon tattoos". He serves up an ice-cold budweiser on draft like you wouldn't believe

Food and service was great!the food was amazing! Try it out and watch the games!!! The French dip beef sandwich was so good! Melted in my mouths.

Started with the BBQ chicken wings, super yummy. Nice sweet bbq sauce. They also bring out bread & butter for the table. I got a taco salad, and the waitress even brought out a big bowl to put it in. The grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly. Hubby got the half sandwich & a cup of vegetable beef soup, I tasted the soup & it was perfect. The sandwich was turkey club & had some beautiful tomatoes on it. First time coming here, we will definitely be back. Excellent service & close to home.

Can't tell if Biggies and Seamus McDaniels are having a contest on seeing who can make the worst $20 steak sandwich but the race is close. Sandwich I got today was about 20% gristle not to mention sandwich was on the small size. I've been wanting to write a review about this place forever because every it's a disappointment everytime I order. The grade school kids that answer the phone can ever tell you what the price of anything is so they always have to go ask the barmaid. How do you take someone's order and not know the prices ? Anytime you have an issue with your meal you speak to the manager guy, he throws a hissy fit because you're taking time from him to go outside and vape. This is like one of those neighborhood bars that take care of their regulars are absolutely awful to anyone else. I can't believe I even left a tip after getting this piece of crap steak sandwich. Can't wait till the Haven opens back up.

Ordered the turkey club and it was delicious! For a simple sandwich I was super happy and it came quick. It's nice and cozy in there and everyone was very friendly.

The food and drink are so great to try while dining in. All of the employees are friendly and always the right meal that you order. I would recommend this place.

food was decent. busy because it was father's day but not as crazy as expected. fettuccine sauce was sooooo think but good flavor. everyone else really liked their food.

I have been there serveral times, like a regular, but the last few times the food has been cold, or luke warm, so this last time we had a younger waitress so i told h er our food was cold she said sorry and that was it. I will need to find a new regular place that has good steaks. Very disappointed.

The kitchen was backed up when we arrived at Biggie's so our food took quite awhile to come out, however our waitress was very attentive and apologetic. We had beers and bread to hold us over until our food came. The side of pasta I had was very good but the chicken spedini was just alright. Next time I think I would try something else.

I love this neighborhood bar and restaurant! It's one on our regular rotation. Everyone there is super friendly. Love getting Rose as our waitress! Have not had a bad experience with their food. Their steak portions are great for the price! Their wine pours are more than you can ask for. They home make their salad dressings. I can never decide so I usually mix 2 together!

Great for late night cravings. I've ordered several items and it always tastes great! This is a great takeout option. We all know some places are better in person but not biggie's!

I have really been looking forward to trying out the spot. The inside is very casual and gives you a hometown grandma feel and smell. You received bread while you wait- but it's very simple, and the butter is cold. Appetizer to start was breaded mushrooms. I would give these two out of five stars, kinda soggy. The entrée was OK. The chicken was amazing, but the broccoli was a little undercooked, and the sauce wasn't very seasoned. Overall it was a fun experience, but a little overpriced for the quality. My favorite part of the meal was a side salad with a white French dressing! That dressing is absolutely amazing, and I get a craving for it now. The dressing alone easily bumped this review one star!

The service is fantastic and the menu is varied. They will alter the ingredients if you ask to accommodate dietary needs, restrictions, etc. Greatly appreciated!

Food is perfectly average, however, with the recent price increase and bad choices in wine, the value is not there! especially for a family. Reading other reviews mentioning pricing and seems other customers agree. A side salad is priced at $8 so we did not order. Over priced average food. We will not be going back

What can I say.. this place is awesome!! First time here. Not a bad wait with the place being packed on a Saturday night. Great Drinks.. Toasted Almond Martini was the bomb... Everything from the Steak Mudega to the Steak Sandwich on Garlic cheese bread.. All salad dressing are homemade. You all need to try this joint... If I lived in the city this would be my hangout joint!!

Outstanding steak sandwich! Please order it on garlic cheese bread you'll thank me later!

Sandwiches are very tasty, I had their Chicken Salad. Bread is definitely fresh and I believe from local bakery. Atmosphere is old school. Nothing to brag about. Just good food and service.

DAYUM Biggie's! Had the sausage and mushroom pizza last night and it was out of this world. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a "first look" photo. I just love love love this place.

Welcome to the TasteBud Palace™. Biggies offers menu items on a wide spectrum. Whether you're in the mood for a gourmet burger, top-notch steak, or a soothing pasta dinner, Biggies has you covered. Set up in three main tiers: entrance bar, table-top dining room, then a more banquet style room for larger parties and Biggie legends. With limited square footage, doesn't feel clustered. Ownership family photos cover the walls from over the years. Expect a brief wait at the door. Loyal regulars fill most of the crowd and hardly glance the menu. There's so many options, but none have failed my senses. For example, their Mustard-style wings will bring harmony to any bad day. The Pasta Con Broccoli hijacks any palette and takes you for a spin. Cavatelli as a side dish makes a nice quencher. FOOD GOOD. ***Classy inside look provides a great atmosphere and will make you feel at home. Biggies house! Stop by for a drink or two after work, or show Grandma/Grandpa and company what life is all about. Biggies Restaurant & Bar, traditional dining of the modern age***

Con: pass on the complimentary bread & butter, it's not very good. Pros: Just about everything else! I had the perfect lasagna (baked with provel)! The shrimp scampi was generous with great shrimp. The service was quick and knowledgeable. But my favorite part, which seems minor but they had a BIG parking lot! Hard to find in the city. Would recommend

4 stars for the food, 2 for the service. Biggies was recommended to us as we visited from out of town. It took over an hour for us to get this pizza when the restaurant wasn't even full, however, it was delicious. Be sure to try the white French dressing on the house salad! Be prepared to wait if you decide to eat here.

Called in to place my order for pickup, we had never been here before so we didn't know what to expect. Ordered a chili burger with waffle fries and a bbq beef sandwich with cottage cheese. Total came out to about $27 and about 20 minutes later my food is ready. We pick up our order and decided to just eat in the car. Overall presentation was poor; the bbq sandwich looked good but the side of cottage cheese was one of those little sauce cups. For a side to your meal that's really small but okay. The chili burger looked unappetizing, it was a thick burger with a scoop of what looked (and tasted) like can chili on a soggy little bun, with a handful of waffle fries on the side. As for the taste, not great. The bbq sandwich was good, the fries were alright. The burger patty itself was good, the chili burger as a whole was definitely not. Everything was cold even tho it was picked up on time and eaten there. Overall disappointing and probably won't be going back anytime soon.

FANTASTIC Ribs on Saturday only. Also, best onion rings ever! Super place for fine-in or carry out. Always a super value delivered by a hard working staff.

I came here with a friend after seeing a picture of the pasta con broccoli on the stlfoodies Instagram page. We decided to split the pasta con broccoli and the white sauce cavatelli (both dishes are vegetarian). The pasta con broccoli comes in a creamy tomato sauce that has so much flavor - I think I could say it's my favorite pasta I've had here in Saint Louis! Love that it comes with broccoli and mushrooms too. The cavatelli is a close second for me because of the creamy, garlicky white sauce. If you're looking for more vegetarian foods here, you could also try the pasta primavera or the pizzas. Definitely will be back for the pasta con broccoli!

Went to this place for the first time and it was great! It was busy but our server was awesome and checked in on us frequently. I ordered the steak sandwich on garlic cheese bread and it was DELICIOUS! Will definitely be going back!

This is a review based on our takeout experience so not a lot to comment about the ambiance and service. We got a vegetarian pizza (4 out of 5 rating) and spaghetti pasta (2 out of 5 rating). The pizza was on a thin crust and tasted good overall. The broccoli on the pizza was undercooked. I liked that the pizza was cut in smaller slices but the center of the pizza was too soggy especially because of the thin crust. The pasta was barely edible as the sauce was not flavorful. Go with the recommended dishes from other reviewers!

I came with the good intentions of ordering their famous, Steak Sandwich on Garlic Cheese Bread with a side of fries. As I sat at a high top table in the bar, enjoying a O'Fallon Brewery IPA, my server told me the nightly special. I immediately was persuaded to order it. The nightly special was Prime Rib. I'm sure you can now see why I was so easily persuaded. I enjoyed a house salad with their famous and unique White French dressing, a side of asparagus and a nice slab cut of Prime Rib. That's a lot of food for $19.95. If you've never had their White French dressing, I highly recommend that you do. My piece of prime rib was prepared medium rare and served with a side of creamy horseradish. For the price point, I was pleased with my selection. Instead of a tradition baked potato, they offered asparagus. I couldn't say no, to one of my favorite vegetables. However, their asparagus was thick and not pencil thin as I prefer. It was so thick it could have been prepared a little longer to make it more tender. Biggies is a good neighborhood bar providing great service and pub grub. Would I return? Yes, I can walk here, it's in my hood. When: December 27, 2016 Why: Dinner
