We shared the sweet potato fries and I got the Ropa Vieja Beef Banh Mi sandwich. The
crinkle-cut sweet potato fries with are topped with chihuahua cheese and are served with a sweet curry aioli sauce for dipping. They are delicious. My Ropa sandwich was light on the braised beef brisket and it was served cold. I was expecting it to be served hot. It was rich with flavors. I tried their hibiscus tea and it was delicious. They have several gluten free and vegan options available. During the week the only option is street parking.
I popped in while in town visiting and this is such a fun spot to grab delicious food at fair prices! If you are looking for a tropical whimsy drink menu, they have a great selection. I'm gluten free and their fried rice was delicious, but there were quite a few gf options to choose from if rice isn't what you're in the mood for! I'll happily be back!
Hot dogs and Toppings were great... Main issue are the buns.. Just dry and not pleasant to eat.
In reply to the reply,
Sorry I realized my initial review may have been too harsh. Yes the bun was not the best but really did enjoy the rest of the dog and especially the fries! Not sure but could be the gluten free bun??
Looking forward to going again, huge fan of the urge so want to support you all I can!!
We had a great time at Mainlander! The decor is wonderful, and there is a cool story with pretty much everything in there! It was an intimate setting, with a cool concept for a menu. My husband is a vegetarian and they had already come up with great options for him. Their menu is also completely gluten free which is really nice to see. We got both the wine pairing, and the cocktail pairing. The cocktails are delicious and I was already noting down which ones I wanted to get again next time. It was a lot of alcohol for me, but that's because I don't usually drink too much. I'll probably skip it next time, or get the non-alcoholic pairing instead. They are a newer establishment but already one of my favorite places to eat in STL. I will definitely be coming back again!
We recently hired the team at Brasserie to cater the desserts for our wedding. Due to an accident, half of our dessert was lost. Leanne made it a priority not only to go back to the restaurant and have them make even more than we originally ordered, but she also refunded part of our order AND gave us a gift card. The desserts were some of the best I’ve ever had. Guests were raving about the food, even the gluten-free options! 5/5 starts for going above and beyond to make our evening special.
So delicious! Hawaiian heaven in a bowl! This is my go-to delivery order for lunch at work via Postmates. I had never tried "poke" before finding this spot, but now I'll forget to bring my lunch on purpose just so I have an excuse to order it again. They also accommodate my wife's gluten allergy for when we need a fun, cheap date night. So pumped for the new location on the Loop!
