The Blue Owl Bakery - Imperial

Fun place to visit outside of St. Louis. Known for their pies and cheese cake. I had a turtle cheesecake. Not as sweet as I expected. Also had a dark chocolate turtle. I really want to try the apple pie. Must visit at least once place

Great place to eat and visit on an outside terrace. Food was very plentiful and what can you say about the apple pie! It's huge and so very fresh. Grabbed some extra to take home on the flight. Super friendly service and prices are reasonable. We'll be back!

Fun lunch spot in Kimmswick . We went on a weekday so it wasn't busy but I expect there is a huge wait on the weekends . Both of us had salads and they were generously in portions. They came with a side of muffins which were delicious . We didn't get to try the award winning pies because we were so full but will definitely be back for them .

I've spent my life hearing about it. I spent 1 hour living the dream. It was a pie in the sky dream due to constantly long wait times but today it happened. In all honesty, it worked out great coinciding this with the Christmas Kimmswick festival so the wait time meant shopping and perfect timing. So here's the scoop. 1. Chicken chili cozy, scrumptious and worth the hype. I'd eat this 3 times a week if I could. It's a must. 2. The beef stew eh... 3. The quiche Lorraine standard, good execution, good for breakfast, not for recommendations 4. The chicken salad pie insane. Couldn't stop eating it. A must try. Like the chicken pie covered with cheese, I too was smothered with deliciousness and had to stop to come up for error. And for the finale, the pies. 1. The coconut cream pie: delicious, yes, award winning no. Overshadowed by the famous levee pie 2. The mile high levee apple pie: it's on Oprah's favorite things... rightfully so. The caramel on the crust, lawwwd have mercy. Necessary hack get it with vanilla ice cream. It needs some cream to cut the apple cinnamon's delicious 19 layers. All in all, great spot. For how famous and constantly busy it sounds it is I'm surprised the inside still looks like grandmas backyard home cookin small town dinner spot with 0 upgrades other than additional seating on a quasi patio but perhaps that's part of the charm. Worth the drive, worth the wait. Would enjoy again.

First visit to the blue owl and it was great. My husband and I split orders, to start the white chicken chili and the beef vegetable. Both were great, but the chili really stood out as unique. The quiche was pretty standard, but the unexpected champion of the meal was the baked chicken salad. Who knew you could make a savory pie with chicken salad? The place is famous for the levee apple pie, and I can see why now! The mix of crust, caramel, cinnamon, and apple sang together. Pro tip- order a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it really set off the flavor profiles. There was a long wait, as expected, but they text you when your table is ready. This allowed us to explore the shops nearby and purchase some great Xmas gifts.
