    Food was good. Portions were smaller than seems typical for a lot of pubs, but that is not necessarily bad. We had the Reuben and Jaeger schnitzel. Schnitzel gravy was a good spin on it. The Reuben was solid, if not “amazing.” Service was prompt, they kept our soft drinks filled, and they have a nice list of beers on tap, though we did not partake that evening. It was not at all crowded, relatively quiet Thursday evening.

    It was a hot day outside so we wanted to make sure we ate inside where it was cooler. I was able to easily make reservations. There isn't a huge menu but enough selecgtion. The food was excellent. Service was a tad slow but not terrible and she was very pleasant and helpful. We had a wonderful time

    I took my two daughters there for an early dinner on 2/14/2023. We had appetizers, burgers and one daughter ordered the steak. It was a ribeye which is a fattier cut of meat. It was terrible. What wasn’t fat was gristle. She could only eat about 1/3 if that. When we told the server her response was well a ribeye is a fatty cut of meat. True, but my daughter works at a steakhouse that is local, midrange prices, she is aware of what a ribeye is like. The price was very unreasonable for that quality of steak that was served to her. Everything else was fine but the server did nothing, no apology, no offer to get a manager. Anyone who could see the amount of fat on the plate should have been ashamed to serve that. The steak was ordered medium. Anyone who goes here should not waste their money on the steak and fries.

    We always have good experiences at the Tap Room and the Bottleworks, so no surprise that Bankside was awesome, too! Everything was fantastic, but the fried pickles with house-made sauces was the best I’ve ever had, hands down. Definitely will be back!

    Beer selection was great. Server was great. I searched all around to try to find your happy hour, and I could not find it published anywhere. I arrived at 5:15, only to be told happy hour ended at five. That seems a little early. Anyway, I ordered a pulled pork sandwich. On a brioche bun. The bun was huge but the “serving” of pork barely covered the bun. I estimate I received one fourth to one third of what a normal barbecue pulled pork sandwich should be. We were with another couple, so I did not send it back but I wish I would have. Definitely not worth the money I paid for a “bread” sandwich.

    The hostess greeting guest was non to friendly. When someone comes through the door nota hi or welcome. As we were leavening I said thank you. The response was yup no problem. Not a thanks for coming in, hope to see you again. Felt more like a burden to their work day.

    Service and food subpar. We daw our server three times. Once for drink orders, once for food and once to pay. No drink refills. Food was barely warm and flavorless. French dip was mostly bread, very little meat. Would not recommend it at all. Will not return.

    Came to schlafly for my boyfriends birthday meal and it was absolutely amazing! I got the 10oz ribeye steak and fries which had to be the best ribeye Iv ever had. He enjoyed the burger and overall it was a great experience. I love the variety of beers on tap and enjoyed a few stout samples! Definitely will return!

    The beer was great and the facility design in side is really nice. The food was just OK, no one was really blown away by anything they ate, there were 7 of us in total. Our waitress was not so good. She attempted to memorize our drinks rather than write them down so she had to come back to the table 2 times to confirm the order. She was rather sloppy placing drinks on the table then disappeared so we had to go find our own napkins to clean it up. I'll go back for the beer again and will see if a better server improves the experience.

    We had a very large party. They gave us our own separate room. Our waiter did great and kept our drinks full and brought the food out hot and fresh. The only exception I would say is that the fries were a little over cooked and chewy. Very happy overall.

    Slow service on a night when it was not busy. My wife ordered the pull pork sandwich and it was hard as a rock (burnt) and the bun was hard. She sent it back and got what I ordered (fish & fries) which was ok at best.) the waitress brought the bill and told us she took the sandwich off the bill as if she was doing us a favor in not having us pay for a meal that shouldn’t have been served. We will not be back.
