To date (and I haven&#8217;t been to <a href=\"http:\/\/smacnyc.com\/what.html\" title=\"S'Mac's website\">S&#8217;Mac<\/a> in Manhattan, yet), Growler&#8217;s has the best macaroni and cheese I&#8217;ve had out.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday afternoon I was discussing where to go for food with Mike, and started searching for pubs near 63017. Growler&#8217;s jumped out due to its proximity to the customer we&#8217;re working on this week, and the glowing reviews when doing a local search on Google didn&#8217;t hurt \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>When we rolled-in at about 6p, a scant 12 minutes after leaving our customer site, we were seated, and had menus &#8211; both for food and beer &#8211; and set to scouring them for what we wanted. Mike found a steak, and the corn-on-the-cob that came with it looked mighty tasty. We do have slightly differing tastes in how moo-ey we like our meat, so I can&#8217;t say that the steak looked all that great to me, but I like mine hot, whereas he likes his towards charcoal.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t even know what kind of soup I had last night, because the mac &amp; cheese was so good. My cohort in crime had seconds on the macaroni. I should have, but was feeling a little off due to allergies here in St Louis \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Their beer selection isn&#8217;t as large as that of the <a href=\"http:\/\/beerknurd.com\" title=\"opens in new window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flying Saucer<\/a>, but they still have about 130 to pick from. As I&#8217;ve mentioned <a href=\"http:\/\/antipaucity.com\/2008\/06\/05\/bridge-cafe\/\">previously<\/a>, I love a good Scotch. Scotch whisky is a drink you respect &#8211; you can&#8217;t slam it, and why would you want to? They\u00a0 have such rich flavor contours that you savor it. Growler&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Single_malt_Scotch\" title=\"wiki definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Single Malt Scotch<\/a> list has about 30 choices, from all over Scotland. They have a few blended Scotches available, too &#8211; but I wouldn&#8217;t order any of them, personally.<\/p>\n<p>Our waitress, Courtney, was very friendly &#8211; acting like she actually appreciated having customers, whereas some places I&#8217;ve been recently acted like they didn&#8217;t care if you were there or not. Places such as the latter I tend to not give repeat business to. Growler&#8217;s has an overall friendly, neighborhood feel to it, and has menu choices ranging down to kid-size portions.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and one more thing. Growler&#8217;s has a Bathtub Dessert option.<\/p>\n<p>For the low low price of only $1500, they&#8217;ll come fill your bathtub with any of their dessert items.<\/p>\n<p>So far no one has ordered said item, that Courtney knew of, but maybe you could be the first! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll be coming back to Growler&#8217;s Pub next week (the one at 783 Old Ballas Road).
