Hwy 61 Roadhouse & Kitchen

One of my favorite restaurants in STL!! I love the New Orleans theme and the countdown to Mardi Gras is front and center of the place! The food is amazing creole selections fill the menu for you to choose! They also have live performances from local blues and jazz bands. The atmosphere is laid back and soo relaxing, you definitely need to check this place out!

The place was dirty and poor service and food. Beer was warm and had stuff on bottle. All 3 meals were not good. Pepperoni bites were filled with grease. Had containers outside dirty. I will not eat here again

WOW! I mean, the food is just that! I want to try everything on this menu! Here we had the chicken and the etoufee. Next time, I'm going full send with a special cocktail and not just a beerFood: 5/5

Do you know why it was a blast to be at the Roadhouse this Friday night!!!? CLASSIC ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FROM THE 70s 00s performed by 120 Minutes (MTV fans will know the reference)! Oh, and the food, drinks and service were pretty darn good for a crowded evening. We met up with some music loving friends to have some dinner and enjoy music. Weeks ago, I used the website to submit a reservation using their online form. After submitting the info, it didn 't quite seem like it went through. A couple weeks went by before I couldn 't resist it any longer... I called in and figured out how to navigate the many prompts to talk to a person. I learned that they start confirming reservations the week of the reservation. So, be patient is the lesson. Anywho, we had a table reserved in the bar area. Staffing was tough one bartender... one bar area server and a couple runners and a bar back. Still, they did a good job. Our server was friendly and effective. We weren 't served super fast, but we didn 't expect it and the music and atmosphere was entertaining. The drinks were decent... probably a 3.5. No Vierre Carre (my favorite New Orleans drink), but we had a decent Sazerac. We later shared a Swamp Water (nice melon flavor, but a tad sweet expectedly) and a Rum runner. We tried to drink the hurricane but found it to sweet for our liking... the mix was just a tad strong for us. Dinner brought on a number of items. Our table enjoyed a couple barbecue pork dishes, but I found the pre sauced bbq to be not to my liking. I had a cup (aka small bowl) of gumbo. The roux based sauce was nicely textured. I found the spice to be mild, but others would call it medium. Overall, I found the gumbo to be okay... I would have liked more sausage and served hotter over better cooked rice. The rice seemed to be par cooked not 100% sure but that 's my hunch. Overall, it was good value and okay. Furthermore, I had a side of okra. It was definitely prepared fresh with a homemade cornmeal batter. The Cajun dressing was excellent for dipping the okra. On top of the two sides, I had a salad pretty average house salad. The cornbread muffin served with the salad was tasty, but a tad dry and crumbly. We finished our meal with shared large piece of bread putting. The glaze and the sauce were very tasty, but I feel that the bread to sauce/glaze ration was a tad off. Also, the outside was nice and hot, but the inside was mostly room temperature. I really struggled with picking the right rating. Overall, I feel like they did a better job than many restaurants I 've been to lately when it comes to dealing with a crowded establishment and tough staffing levels. I would score this a 3.75 out of 4 rounding up to 4 Yelp stars. Enjoy!

The pulled BBQ pig was a fantastic and I love the beer selection. Desert of Gooey buttercake? was fantastic. My server wished I got her name. Keep the fantastic food and fun times. 5 stars, this place is a treasure.
