Peacemaker Lobster & Crab

Hands down amazing food! I've been through all of the east coast and this place by far was better! My husband and I both had the Lobster roll Maine style. Along with their homemade potatoes chips. Lip smacking good!!! Coolest little place I've seen cooks, staff and food 100% wonderful! I can't wait to try more here when going through St.Louis!

One of my favorite restaurants to stop by when I’m visiting St. Louis, MO. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and helpful. And the food is ALWAYS top tier. I’ve had the Lobster Roll both Maine and Connecticut style (I prefer Maine) both are delicious though. The caviar deviled eggs are scrumptious. And the espresso martini is perfection. Honestly, I would go there for those fries alone. Seriously, put this place on your itinerary if you’re in town visiting. And if you live in the area…well, I envy you.

I just visited the Peacemaker restaurant. I liked the live atmosphere there. I ordered a hamburger with double patties. I asked them to remove the cheese as I don't eat greecy food. I didn't like my food as it was oily. The chips were salty and too much pepper on it. I had to share my food with my father. I think this place is good for drinking, not eating food.

Hard to go wrong here. A lively atmosphere and great service and the most amazing seafood quality and selection in St Louis. Shrimp, mussels, oysters (YUM), caviar, lobster, crab, clams… oh my! Louie and Yoder Melon were our favorite cocktails. They have a nice selection of wines and drinks. Definitely recommend the raw bar, hush puppies, any crab thing, and mussels ad nauseam like we did. Awesome place to go with friends, for a celebration, or on a date.

The boil was a little tasteless. The lobster rolls are good, but what takes the cake there is the bread. Perfectly garlicky and buttery. The lobster was a little flavorless too. The oysters were pretty good. The mignonette sauce was fantastic. Drinks were good too. The extra charge for fries was a little ridiculous though. We were sat a little cramped next to other people eating which didn’t allow for much room.

The lobster in the rolls were extremely tasty, but the portions were not great for the price. Unfortunately that was kind of the highlight of the meal; the hush puppies and fried green tomatoes really didn't hit the spot. The vibe and staff are very nice, though, so feel free to give it a shot.

I just stopped in to get a Maine lobster roll to go, having no idea it would be the best one I've ever had. The food was prepared quickly and I really appreciated the separation of the bread and the lobster for my to go order. The chips were great too. This is a must try if you love lobster rolls, but I'm sure everything else on the menu is phenomenal.

Ricardo at the bar in the St. Louis airport was hands-down one of the best airport bartenders I’ve ever had. I travel a lot, and great service in an airport can be rare, but Ricardo was outstanding. He was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive the whole time. Beer flight suggestion was perfect, service was quick without feeling rushed (even when we were there right at closing), and he kept a great attitude even with the airport chaos going on. If you’re passing through STL, I highly recommend stopping by if Ricardo is working. He made the experience so much better than the usual airport stop.

Peacemaker is a fantastic seafood restaurant that boasts incredibly fresh seafood for being located in STL. Peacemaker perfectly balances high quality food with the comfort casual dining experience to create a fun atmosphere that adds to the meal. I highly recommend getting the 4Hands Peacemaker draught beer. It's an exclusive beer made in STL only served at Peacemaker and made to pair with seafood! We got the fresh oysters and really enjoyed the selection. They come pre-loosened which made for easy enjoyment. The kitchens' mignonette sauce is fantastic and is always just a little different each time you order. Our least favorite oyster was the Maine Select but all others were delicious. For the main meal I recommend getting the warm style Lobster Roll with house chips (& with the Peacemaker beer!) You really cannot go wrong with this restaurant. Overall the service was good and the food was better! And although it is pricey I will be revisiting again!

While I have quite a few critiques about my experience here, I can't deny that the food was phenomenal. Favorite dishes: Shrimp poorboy, lobster mac

Peacemaker is the bomb. This Benton Park staple consistently delivers fresh, flown-in-daily seafood that makes you forget you're in a landlocked city. Bless you Kevin Nashan. While I couldn't personally join this time, my trusted seafood enthusiasts, Jensen and Ace, held down the fort--and look at these videos Look at that buttery lobster. Peacemaker offers a menu that feels like a mini coastal getaway. Their oysters are pristine, the clam chowder comforting, the crab roll a lunch staple, and then there's the lobster. All are pure magic. Even pescatarians with the highest standards (read: me) can rely on Peacemaker for exceptional quality and variety. #StLouisPescatarianApproved Always!

Been here a few times! The food is great! The lobster rolls are.... Lobster rolls. I'm no connoisseur, but the rolls were good. My only gripe is you need to ASK MARKET PRICE BEFORE ORDERING. It's a simple sandwich with a high cost if you're not prepared to hear it. That being said it was great the pictures are from my second time there, my first I got a lobster roll, chips and we had ice cream dessert. Decor is gorgeous, it's never too crowded when we go.

I love a good seafood establishment! Peacemaker was in a cute neighborhood where parking was a bit difficult since you had to find a spot on the street. There was a lot of seating inside and it was beautifully decorated. The venue had great options but I was surprised they didn't have crab cakes! I got the shrimp po boy and it was delicious. I was only able to eat half if it so it was a nice size. There is an option to get lobster bisque worh or without the added lobster meat which was good! Of course it was more expensive to add lobster. If I was just having the bisque as my meal I would have added it for sure. The lobster roll was full of meaty lobster and was so good! Our server was very nice and helpful! We weren't sure which frozen drink to get so she offered us a little sample of a few to help us decide which was nice. It was an overall good experience.

The warm lobster rolls are great appetizers. I also love the mussels and clams. The gumbo is awesome also.

WOW! Finally checked this 2 year wishlist restaurant off of my list :) my partner surprised me with dinner where for my birthday and it was nothing short of amazing. We had a beer and wine in the cute, chick restaurant. For dinner, I couldn't decide which lobster roll I wanted so I ordered both! Tbh, I'm more of a Maine style as I like the cold lobster with the mayo and greens on top vs the very buttery Connecticut roll. Both were delicious tho! My partner ordered a poboy and loved it too. Definitely going back :) also shout out our the server who made it a great experience!

I finally tried something other than the Connecticut style lobster roll, so a review update is in order! While the lobster roll is still fantastic as ever, I tried the buffalo crawfish poorboy and I'm obsessed! Not only is it delicious, but it's also a good size. I was able to take one of the sandwich halves home and it was just as good the next day! I also love starting off with oysters! They're fresh and always have a few different kinds to choose And kudos to Peacemaker for the continually stellar service. The servers always go the extra mile with their kindness, and I appreciate it so much!

OMG! Looks are definitely deceiving. I didn't expect this restaurant to be this big on the inside from the way it looked on the outside. The staff were so nice. The Margarita and lobster roll were exceptional. My only complaint is I needed a bigger lobster roll! I could eat that sandwich everyday, all day! I'm going back soon!

Went on a weeknight for dinner which was not busy. Exceptional and attentive service. We started with oysters and lobster bisque (lobster added), shared the Connecticut style lobster roll and Maine style lobster roll for entree, and got the s'mores dessert. We ordered the lobster rolls even though they were $36 each (market price that day), was a bit nervous at first about value for what we were paying, but worth every dollar. They also had a really good music playlist playing throughout the dining rooms. They have a bar and main dining area.

A classy place to dine for seafood. The staff was attentive during the busy lunch hour on Father's Day. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The catfish, shrimp, and lobster were good. The shrimp is a must to order! Our favorite was the 4 Hands Peacemaker beer that complemented the seafood. I could not find a kid's menu online or was given one when we arrived. I settled with ordering my toddler french fries. The waitress volunteered items for kids and we went with the mac and cheese. The blueberry dessert was delightful. The hint of graham crackers was my biggest takeaway from it being a tasty sweet treat.

Took my boyfriend here for his 30th birthday and my oh myyyy. I literally ate a whole pound of crab legs and didn't even need the butter it was THAT good. My boyfriend got the whole lobster and ate the entire thing as well. We were enjoying ourselves so much we were already planning another date night to go back. I'd like to add that we had excellent service!!

Not the cheapest place.....but when you fly in fresh not frozen product it's well worth it! Has the vibe of a seafood place in New Orleans. As fancy as you want to be...fresh seafood and good service!

Every time we've been to Peacemaker we've had a great experience! Today we tried oysters, deviled eggs with caviar, a fried clam roll, buffalo crawfish steamed buns, and hush puppies. The food, as always, was excellent. My fiancé and I had never tried oysters, but got 2 to try after the recommendation from our waitress. I love that you can order them individually so we weren't committed to a large order of something we weren't sure we liked (as it turns out I could have eaten a large order of them though). We also got the deviled eggs with caviar to try - while those were also tasty, next time I'd opt for more oysters instead. I've thought about the fried clam roll since our first visit and it did not disappoint. The steamed bun was fluffy and soft and a fun vessel to eat crawfish. The absolute standout star is the hush puppies. I don't know how they make them so delicious but I could eat 100 of them. The service was top notch. Our waitress was not only extremely knowledgeable about the items on the menu but also where each item was from. Knowing where your seafood comes from and how fresh it is just makes it that much better. She was helpful in teaching us the best way to eat oysters so we didn't make a fool of ourselves and had great suggestions about what to order. If you're a seafood lover, this is the spot for you. If you aren't a seafood lover, come here anyway and get the hush puppies

We visited the first weekend of August. I debated on how I wanted to rate this review because it has such high ratings typically. This restaurant was recommended to us so we looked it up on Yelp, of course ;) and decided to make a reservation because it looked great and had good reviews. Upon arrival, the hostess was awesome, super outgoing, as we told her we had a reservation, but we seen a couple spots at the bar and we would rather sit there so she was like no no problem. Also, when walking into the restaurant, vibe of the place is upbeat yet chill & and open atmosphere. We were pretty happy with that. The bar was full, but there were two spots like I previously mentioned so we grabbed them as that's what we usually prefer but cannot make reservations for. Unfortunately it goes downhill from here. The bartender just slaps some menus down in front of us and walks. Ok, no problem. First time here so we just browse the menu. He dropped some water off and continues just to walk on by so we just sit there and wait a little bit more, watch the tv, talk, etc...lol Then he comes back and takes a drink order finally. After that, we had to wait quite a bit longer to get an appetizer in which we ordered the hush puppies, unfortunately I did not get a picture of that. They were pretty bland. We ordered our meal next and my husband ordered the peel & eat shrimp and I ordered the warm (buttered) lobster roll. I did not know the lobster roll was going to be as small as it was. (I'm thinking I would be getting a lobster roll like I would be getting on the east coast). I could not eat the lobster roll. First bite tasted like all butter on my palate. So I'm thinking I got mostly just the bread so I took another bite, and same thing so I tried just a piece of lobster, and it was still just drenched in all butter. It was just too much butter. I've had these kind of lobster rolls before and they were not like this. My husband said his peel eat shrimp were just OK . The cocktail sauce was overwhelmingly tasting like lemon. We were pretty bummed in the end as we were looking forward to this dinner. But between the service & the dinner.... It has taken me weeks to write this because I hate leaving this type of review, but I felt like I needed to in order to be honest about how we felt with our experience.

Really cute place inside! The decor was nice and fitting for the restaurant. They are an okay price for the Midwest. I really was in the mood for a lobster roll and got a lot of things because they have a happy hour from 4:30-6 Monday-Thursday which was really convenient. You can get a cold lobster roll, a warm one, and a cold crab roll in a mini trio or order them separately. The shrimp basket is for sure worth it, along with the mini rolls. One thing I didn't like was the lobster bisque. Honestly, red lobster's is better. This one has an additional up charge for lobster pieces and it just tasted watered down with seasonings. But everything else I had was amazing!

Service experience is awful. Period. Yelp says my review needs to be 85 characters, but my first sentence says it all!

Another fabulous lunch in the city with my handsome gentleman , taking us to a historic area once known as the Millionaires' Row of South St. Louis during the late 1800s. It's always a treat exploring these storied neighborhoods, and Peacemaker was the perfect spot for our afternoon adventure. Let me confess: I've never had a lobster roll or lobster mac 'n cheese, and I'm always skeptical of anyone's collard greens because mine are pretty hard to beat. But Peacemaker? They've done it. Their food was excellent, and dare I say, their collards are even better than mine! Our service was top-notch, with a welcoming and friendly staff that made us feel right at home. The restaurant's design has this relaxed backyard party vibe, and the oyster bar steals the show. It's where you can settle in, enjoy great company, and savor incredible food. Until next time, Sierra

Got in right before happy hour ended and was able to grab the three lobster and crab rolls for 30$, so worth it! As someone from the East Coast I can attest to the quality and it was great. Service was very friendly and fast and the added hot towel at the end is amazing. Great spot to hangout with friends or out on a date and gorge on seafood.

First time trying this place 10 out of 10 on everything. We did get the lobster bisque soup with lobster meat, which was phenomenal as well. This is such a wonderful spot for a date night. There's not one thing you can get on the menu and not like. I definitely recommend getting a spicy. Margarita was so good. My husband had gotten Woodford and Coke was amazing as well. We will definitely be back.

A little on the pricey side but pretty good lobster rolls. Enjoyed the ambiance as well but it was a tad difficult to get a table on a Saturday evening. Hope to be back soon!

This was maybe the best lobster roll I've ever had, and I've been to coastal areas and love lobster. The lobster was perfectly cooked, not too buttery, bread was the perfect ratio, there was a lot of lobster. Market price was $37. The one issue was the server asked me if I wanted chips or fries, and recommended the fries. I wasn't really interested in either but went with her recommendation. I was surprised to find there was a $2 up charge for fries, which I wish had been communicated in advance as I was indifferent between the two (and ultimately didn't eat the whole portion). I also got a clam chowder, which was also very tasty and a different style than I'm used to. Would return and eat a lobster roll again, just know it's fairly pricey.

There's not a lot of good seafood spots in St. Louis, but Peacemaker checks off every box I can think of in the Midwest! I love this place so much that I drive 40-minutes to come here! We started off with their Peel & Eat Shrimp because it's quick and it'll keep us distracted while we wait for our main dish. Any of their steamed buns are a MUST! They have the Lobster and Buffalo crawfish and both are OMG! I'm salivating while writing this review! For my main, I got their Lobster Roll (Conneticut Style) and Lobster Bisque! It was delectable, burst of warm buttery flavor! I also tried some of my friend's Lobster Frito pie and Lobster Mac & Cheese and they were amazing! If you're going to be spending money on food, this is the place to spend it on! Friendly staff! Clean and bright space! Street Parking!

If I could give it 4.5, I would. Some of us arrived early and munched on some appetizers (the Caviar Deviled Eggs and Broiled Shrimp). The cocktails were tasty and so were the apps, though now that I've had the Caviar Deviled Eggs, I wouldn't order again. IMO, too expensive for the amount received. It was nice that we didn't have to close out our tabs at the bar, but they moved those tabs with us to the table. We were there with a large group and they did a pretty good job of getting everything to the table. The food was good, though it was pretty loud once they got more customers in there. Sure wish restaurants would consider acoustics more when they design the space! Overall, an enjoyable experience.

Great service and menu options and portions are decent sized. I went for the Peacemaker Poorboy for supper and ordered the Paloma slush beverage. I did not realize I needed to take drink picture until after I finished consuming it and it's fair to say it was good. Can now check off Peacemaker Lobster and Crab as a place we officially tried.

My theory that good seafood in the Midwest doesn't exist has been debunked, thanks to Peacemaker. I've been wanting to try this out the entire time I've been in STL and finally got the chance a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday dinner. For starters we ordered the hush puppies, half a dozen oysters and the fried green tomatoes and everything was exceptional. For my entree I ordered the peel and eat shrimp which might have been the best I've ever had (and I lived in Baltimore a while, iykyk). My group also had a few different cocktails and were really pleased with those, as well. Finally, our server was wonderful and happily obliged when asked to snap a pic of our group. One of us also left our card on the table and he chased us out the door to return it lol! We so appreciated that! Overall 12/10 and I'm already planning my next trip!

Always a good vibe, came back for the great service and shrimp po' boy! We wanted to try the buffalo crawfish because of a different picture on Yelp. It turns out that they know serve three in an order, not four (like a previous year picture)

Went to this gem in the City for a late lunch, on a Monday(1:30 pm). No wait time. Cute store front look, in a very quaint neighborhood. Once inside, large, open dining area. Bar to the right, seating in the middle and to the left. Lunch rush was over. Was able to converse with manager about the menu and how we heard about the spot, shortly after being seated. Nice touch. Decor was eclectic in nature but effective. Once we ordered the food came quickly. Started with steamed mussels in tasty tomato, bacon, shallot broth. Before we were half done with that, our fried oyster sandwich with fries came. I enjoyed every minute. My taste buds were overjoyed.

Quaint Benton Park location. Parking on street. Enjoyed a cocktail at the bar before being seated at our reserved table. Enjoyed some shrimp and an order of deviled eggs along with our drinks. At the table, ordered a seafood salad. Toppings hard to find and as with other items we tried, pricey which might have brought down the enjoyment of the food a bit. Service attentive and efficient.

Good food, they know what they're doing. Great recommendations from the server too. We went at lunch and I would go back for dinner.

I've had this place in my bookmarks for a while now. I happened to be not too far away so decided to check it out for lunch. This place is easy to pass up but I'm so glad that I didn't. I got the oyster po-boy sandwich. I upgraded the chips for French fries because it was only right. The fries were well seasoned, fresh and delicious. The po' boy was fantastic and the sauce was as well. This was my first time having fried oysters. I love Seafood so I had to try it. I arrived a few minutes before they closed at 2:00 and they open back up again at 4:30. The decor inside is very on-brand for a seafood spot and there was plenty of seating. I will be back to try the infamous Connecticut lobster roll!

Service was excellent the food was fantastic I had a lobster roll and fried clams they were cooked to perfection the spices were on point absolutely nothing to complain about with this place will be coming back regularly

Went there for my birthday and it was amazing. Everyone in my party loved their food and our server was hilarious. Very nice atmosphere too.

Found this gem because the other place we intended to eat at was closed. Very nice atmosphere, clean and very friendly staff with great service. Chowder and Bisque were more brothie than we expected but great flavor. We all ordered. poorboys: catfish, crawfish, and shrimp. We all enjoyed our meal and felt the price was a good value. Benton Park is a bright cute neighborhood and we will back when we visit our son.

What a fantastic seafood find in St. Louis! We stopped in a little after 8pm on a Friday night and we were immediately seated. This is a bustling restaurant. Music serenaded the patrons and all staff and servers were extremely attentive and friendly. We ordered fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, crab, a lobster roll, corn on the cob and fries and everything was cooked just right and served up fast and hot. We loved everything we had and would certainly recommended this restaurant! They offered indoor and outdoor seating and parking was available on the street.

We just went today. While the lobster and crab are a bit pricey, the fresh seafood rolls were very tasty. We also had the fried green tomatoes and corn on the cob. Our kid had a corn dog and fries because she never eats the good stuff! The tomatoes and corn were very bland. I had to ask for butter and even the melted butter had no flavor. It would be nice if there was salt on the tables. The tomatoes were similar bland taste and the remoulade helped, but it wasn't great. Honestly, other than maybe a quick takeout roll sometime when I'm really craving it, I doubt we go back.

I'll preface this with saying - I don't like seafood. My husband loves it! But I'm just not into it. My BIL is from New England and ALSO loves seafood. My brother is like me though. Someone let my BIL know that this was the most like New England seafood in St. Louis, so we rallied and gave it a try. I've lived in STL for 6 years now, and in the area for 3. This has always been a spot I knew I wanted to try, but just hadn't made it. Now I regret not coming sooner. The non-seafood options may be scarce, but dang, they're good. The sweet potato po' boy is so flavorful and delicious. The boys loved their seafood and didn't have anything bad to say. Even my husband told me he was glad because now we can come back. Cocktails were great, dessert was delicious. And I love a small menu, too big and it gets overwhelming. Peacemaker knows what they're doing. There's a reason they're so highly rated, they live up to the hype. Seafood lover or just general foodie, you have to try it.

We found street parking easily. Upon walking into to this beautiful restaurant we were blown away with its quaint charm. Our wait person was kind and patient with our party of 6. She knowledgeably answered our questions. The crowd eating the fresh oysters were happy with the freshness and size. On a down side, I ordered clam chowder which had a very good taste but I guess it was clam chowder because a clam was cooked with it. However, the crawfish steamed buns, the Connecticut lobster rolls, crab rolls, homemade crispy chips, and hush puppies more than made up for the chowder. I will definitely return!

A pricey but good seafood spot in STL. Consistent good food. Lobster rolls, steamed clams, peel and eat shrimp all good options. Service is friendly and restaurant is clean. Fourth visit and I'll go back.

If you're craving seafood, Peacemaker Lobster and Crab is the place to be! We ordered each one of the lobster rolls--mine with fried green tomatoes and my partner's with coleslaw. While the coleslaw was just alright, the pickled fried tomatoes were a delightful twist. The brownie cookie dessert with ice cream was absolutely delicious. Despite being a Friday, the service was impressively fast. Sitting in the back corner transported us to the East Coast, making it a must-visit spot in STL.

Absolutely delightful. I've been trying to step into the world of sea food and this was definitely a great start! For those like me, the caviar deviled eggs and buffalo crawfish bao weren't overly-fishy, but there is such a wide range of amazing sea food that all of my pescatarian friends were raving over!

Good god, Peacemaker was amazing. That Maine lobster roll is easily the best food I've had in St. Louis so far and the best I've had outside of Cape Cod. And my server Anna tonight was just the nicest and the best! If you're ever in STL, do yourself a solid and treat yourself to this delectable spot. Oh, and the strawberry cheesecake in the adorable little mason jar was scrumptious too. Highly recommend!

Whenever my mom comes to town, she always begs me to take her to Peacemaker. We've always had a great experience. Tonight, we started with drinks, wine and a Louie cocktail. The cocktail had a much stronger cucumber taste than I expected, but it grew on me. I also tried their zero proof spicy margarita, which I enjoyed very much. Not too sweet like some mocktails, but also not really spicy for those looking for that. For dinner, my mom got her usual shrimp boil and I tried their mussels. The broth was very good. I also ordered the pickled fried green tomatoes which I've had before. They are thick cut and perfectly tangy with well seasoned breading that mostly stays in place. For the boil, they bring you a warm towel and lemon to clean your hands afterward. Service was fast and our server checked back often even with a full house.

The food was absolutely great! We were greeted immediately and seated right away. There was a bit of a mix-up when we ordered our food. I ordered a Lobster Roll and when the waitress asked my wife what she wanted to order she told the waitress she was just going to share the meal I ordered. Whenever she brought out our food, she gave us 2 lobster roll entrees. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but paid for two lobster rolls instead of only wanting one. We would have talked to our waitress about it, but we didn't see her for 15-20 more minutes. However, the atmosphere was great, and I will be back to try a different meal.

Celebrated a birthday @ Peacemaker and they took very good care of us. As a group we started off with some oysters and their shrimp. Both were very satisfying and did not disappoint. For my entree I got their shrimp po'boy w/ chips and as an extra side their lobster Mac & cheese. Everything was very delicious. If you're a seafood fan, this is a must try!

Beat this place for seafood in St. Louis. It's hard to get good seafood in this area as last I checked not too many oceans nearby. But peacemaker pulls it off and I mean pulls it off every single time. I just love their food and the atmosphere is cool, I feel like I'm back in New England area sitting by the seashore having some good good lobster or other seafood delicacies.

Brittany was super sweet, personable and such a help in deciding on food items and drinks. Loved the eclectic decor and the food was phenomenal! This is my new favorite restaurant but unfortunately it's 5 hours away from home!

Jake was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu! The food is amazing- lobster roll is a MUST, but the Buffalo Crawfish Buns were SO good as well. They get fresh seafood flown in from Maine everyday so none of it's frozen. When you step inside, you truly feel like you are on the east coast. I love all of the pictures of the fishermen around the restaurant too.

I was sceptical about seafood in the Midwest, BUT this place brought it! Drinks were very tasty and the Mac n cheese was giving creamy, but not dense. We loved our rolls and felt like they were the closest you will get to the real deal here in Missouri (mkt price was $37 each roll). Thought it was silly that there was an upcharge for fries, but whatever:). Our server was incredibly personable and helpful with recommendations. We sat outside on the patio (gorgeous outside), which is quaint. The inside smells like seafood, which I love! Definitely stop by one of their locations!
