"We're not sure if the high ratings for this place are because of the atmosphere or because of some amazing live music, but the food was incredibly lousy. The Cobb salad says that they use greens. I also specifically requested they use greens when I ordered, just in case they tried sliding in iceberg or romaine. I still ended up getting JUST iceberg lettuce that looked like it came out of the package with the carrot shreds. My sister's grilled tenderloin was tough as rubber, and to make matters worse, the fries seemed like they'd been cooked at least 4 hours before. Unfortunately, we ordered this over the phone and had our brother pick it up for us, if not this food would have been sent back. Highly disappointed with the quality of food, given the reviews listed here."

"We recently visited St. Joe and were on the lookout for vegan options, and this restaurant was one of the few that had a dedicated vegan menu. Firstly, the positives: the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We really enjoyed the vibe, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. Now, onto the less favorable aspects. Although the restaurant has a vegan menu, I was surprised to find out that they don’t offer any plant-based milk for coffee. This felt quite unusual since even many of my meat-eating friends prefer plant milk in their coffee nowadays; it’s rare to come across a place that only serves dairy options in 2022. As for the food, we tried the vegan shepherd’s pie and the vegan curry, along with split pea soup and hummus with pita as sides. Unfortunately, I had to send the shepherd’s pie back to the kitchen because it was cold in the middle. While I enjoyed the split pea soup and found the curry quite nice, the rice that accompanied the curry was dry, and the pita served with the hummus was also cold, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the food just didn’t quite hit the mark. Perhaps it’s because we come from an area with a wide variety of vegan choices, but despite arriving hungry, we ended up leaving more than half of our meal untouched. I usually finish my plate, but this time we didn’t even ask for a box to take our leftovers back to the Airbnb. In summary, the staff and atmosphere were wonderful, but the vegan food leaves room for improvement. I also strongly suggest they start offering plant-based milks for coffee."

"Ordered multiple pizzas. One of them being in alfredo Pizza girl rings up. A chicken alfredo pizza and then goes in minuses the chicken and bacon. Charges me $24. Which the alfredo pizza would have only been $14. When I noticed the receipt I went up to the counter again. She would not change it because she said you ordered a chicken alfredo pizza minus the chicken and bacon. She would not listen to a thing I said.. I hope they enjoy the money that I spent there because it'll be the last time I spend money in that place. It's a. Typical millennial anymore"

"WOW!!! Where do I start, I was impressed with the service and the quality of the food at Fredricks. Its a family owned steak house and it is so nice and the people treat you like they have known you all your life. The salad bar is a help your self and the variety is great. So good! The menu has something for everyone. I had a New Your Strip that was cooked to my perfection, Medium Rare, and my wife had Chicken Fried Chicken which she really enjoyed. If you are going on a Friday for supper, I suggest that you go early because the place gets to jumping after 5pm. I highly recommend this steak house in St. Joseph Missouri to all my friends and friends I haven't met yet."

"We arrived shortly after 7 p.m. and immediately overheard one of the staff engaged in a conversation filled with extremely foul language, which was quite off-putting for a first impression of a restaurant. After a few minutes, we were finally seated, but then we felt completely forgotten. It took over 40 minutes before a waitress came to take our drink order, and we quickly decided to order our food at the same time. The wait for our food was equally long, taking another 35 to 40 minutes. I ordered the Simon sandwich with french fries. Unfortunately, it was drenched in so much barbecue sauce that it soaked through the bread and made it nearly impossible to enjoy. The roast beef was stringy and tough; every bite resulted in half the filling falling out, making it hard to chew. In the past, I have ordered that sandwich dozens of times and always considered it one of the best in St. Joseph, but tonight it was barely edible. I ended up leaving a quarter of the sandwich and quite a few of the french fries on my plate. The fries were overly greasy and tasted like they had been cooked in old oil. After we placed our food order, we didn't see our waitress again, so there were no drink refills, and we weren't even asked if we wanted dessert. This was certainly not the experience I wanted my friend to have at a restaurant I used to cherish. I have no plans to return anytime soon."
