Stews Food & Liquor 1862 South 10th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104

"Chanced on this restaurant after looking for a place that still serve food at almost midnight. They have limited menu but there's something that will interest any diner. Staff is friendly and welcoming, the place is small but clean, and neat. No kid's meal, and there's alcoholic beverages. I loved their tuna with salad bowl, but the longganisa sausage is not real longganisa at all. Dining area is half indoors and half outdoors. I would come back here."

"Believe the hype, this place is fantastic. We made it in close to 7 and we're able to grab a few open seats. Service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. The black Manhattan was delicious, and they made my wife an off-menu custom NA cocktail that was not only thoughtful but very tasty. We tried every appetizer, and each one was better than the last. The brussels sprouts in particular were mind-bogglingly good. We split the pork burger, and if I wasn't so full I could have easily eaten an entire one. So, so good."

"Another well-deserved 5 star review. These walls are special and Stews Food & Liquor is taking advantage. Previously the Woodshack which was well loved and grew to a bigger spot, Stew’s took over. Very creative menu, no literally, it looks hand written, with an exotic fusion of Asian-inspired food. Stews gets real with easy shareables like crab rangoon, shrimp skewers and edamame hummus. #stlouispescatarianapproved @stlouispescatarians on instagram. And you think fried rice is typical and classic… not here. This spot is small embracing an intimate concept with 25 seats indoors and an additional 25 on the patio. Behind this spot is bartender Nate Burrows and Chef Brent Petty both from Cinder House, and namesake Kristen “Stew” Leahy. Love the name."

"I was really excited about this place. A casual restaurant with suffonsifying meals, and a serious cocktail menu, with attention to detail. Something that dovetails nicely into my proclivities these days. Good news, it was as good as I hoped it would be. Maybe better. I'm not an industry guy, so I don't know the crew, but I was so happy to find a warm welcome and abundantly friendly service. I'll be back!"

"Imagine being in your best friends basement that can make any drink you want with every Asian fusion taste from a magical kitchen chef in the next room, brought to you by the happiest Aunt you’ve had. That’s what Stew’s is like. Great vibes, great atmosphere, excellent food and drinks."
