Hendel's does not miss!! This is my favorite neighborhood secret (that's not a secret)!! I haven't had a bad experience or meal from this place! Deff my favorite self date place! Every server I've had was awesome, and Amy understood the assignment today. I came in knowing what I wanted and was alone. Ordered the strip steak, made perfectly, and a hot toddy ( they have plenty whiskey/bourbon). She got me what I needed and chked on me as the food came out but ultimately let me enjoy my me time! One of my favorite gems in Florissant!

This is just another 5-star review for Hendel's. Thanks, Yelp. What a wonderful find during our visit to the STL area! This is truly a neighborhood joint, and even though we were not regulars, we were rated like VIPs. Silly us we arrived for a late lunch on Valentine's Day and, surprise/not, they were beyond busy with a 90-minute wait. Lucky us we secured two seats at the bar and were able to enjoy a fantastic lunch. I have to mention the young woman bartender who was slammed busy but juggled drink and food orders like a Pro! I ordered the Dark Cherry Old Fashioned made with Bulleit Rye and the dark cherries were interesting, in a good way. Plus one ordered their version of a Paloma and remarked it is as good if not better than the Paloma at Liche's Cantina in Austin. Our humus App was well portioned and paired well with our cocktails, LOL. We both ordered the salmon power bowl and the salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Being located in a neighborhood does provide for parking challenges but this is just a nit...

Loved the salmon BLT and the ham and bean soup. I had feared before going it would be just standard bar food but they have a nice menu worth exploring. It's also a charming historical business with friendly wait staff. A great place to take a date for lunch or dinner.

Dinner for the evening. You can never, ever, ever go wrong with Hendel's! I was super hangry so I ordered the Jameson burger and fries. I don't know how they cook the fries to such amazing perfection, but I have to have a basket every time I visit. I got the peach sangria to complement my entree and this lady got down to business! I left satisfied and ready for a good book and a nap, or bed. Whatever don't judge, just go eat here and tell me how much you enjoyed it! I can't wait to go back!

Service at Hendel's is amazing! The staff here is so welcoming! It feels like you are dining in your neighbor's home. The food and drinks here are not inexpensive, but they aren't over the top either. Awesome food, awesome drinks, and awesome service!! The outdoor and porch seating areas are my favorite. We try to go to Hendel's at least once when we travel to St. Louis.

I had the burnt ends and mac and cheese. It was delicious and it filled me up, had it with a couple of rolls to sop up that delicious white cheddar cheese.

Thoroughly enjoy this local favorite! Three reasons why you should go: 1. The food is fantastic. Highly recommend the southwest salad (not pictured). The buttermilk ranch was delicious! Chicken, two cheeses, mixed greens, tortilla strips, fire roasted corn, and buttermilk ranch me please! For lunch, I chose the Jameson burger and it was incredible! Bleu cheese and bacon? A mouthful of delightfulness. The fries were fresh but not the typical fast food fry. It was more like a wedge. Still fantastic. 2. The service is swift and all the waiters have impressive table side manner. We did not have to guide the waiters at all. They were attentive and catered our needs with hardly any guidance. 3. The ambiance is unique. Imagine going to a bed and breakfast but with flair.. There's patio seating but it's the first choice when the weather permits. There's a koi pond as well. Dine in options are available. During the winter, there's also covered patio seating. What doesn't this place offer?

Honestly, one of the best restaurants to go for a date night or girls night or really any excuse to come here Good luck trying to get them to answer the phone otherwise great service Great relaxing and fun ambiance. Good was phenomenal. I've only had one bad experience and believe it was due to new staff. However, every other experience has been a wonderful, which is why I keep coming back. You must try the carrot cake and the duck appetizer that is my go to so so delicious

Hendel's is a great patio spot and overall had great lunch food. Definitely will be back to try out their dinner Tried: spinach & artichoke dip, salmon BLT Loved: the salmon BLT - the salmon marinade was great and was cooked so well. In addition the rest of the BLT was very fresh. A perfect meal if you don't want something heavy The service was fantastic as well. Liked: the spinach and artichoke dip - the chips were a bit too heavy for me, but were homemade and fresh Parking is a bit difficult - you can either park in their parking lot that has a tight entrance or on the street

2nd time visiting Hendel's. I've been wanting to take my boyfriend here since my first visit. We both live in the City and we're finally in North County for an event so we decided to eat here. He loved the ambiance and charm of the restaurant. The service was great. We were seated immediately. Food came quick and hot. I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip again. It's so good, one of the best we've ever had. My boyfriend ordered the Cajun Carbonara and couldn't stop raving about it as he ate! I ordered the vegan burger and fries. The fries were okay. I prefer a smaller fry. This was more like a wedge. I love potatoes and they tasted just fine but not what I was expecting. I would not order the vegan burger again. The patty was way too thick and dry. Not enough mustard. It wasn't good. I regret not getting the veggie powerbowl again.
