Harry's Country Club Review

Harry's Country Club Review

In their own words, Harry's is "A reverent take on a 1940s honky-tonk roadhouse", and that is exactly what it is. I love everything about this restuarant; the vibe here is part old-fashioned southern country club, part western honky-tonk. Harry's is a perfect combination of a modern, hip vibe and the charm and swankiness of mid-century Americana.

Review: Taco Via

Review: Taco Via

As a kid, my sisters and I loved when Mom and our Grandma would take us to Taco Via' after my sister's ballet class, and now I have introduced it to my husband and son. Although they have recently moved across the street into a new, larger space, thankfully they have not changed the menu. It's so nice when a restaurant has stayed open for so long in your hometown. Even the arcade games made the move! This family franchise is certainly doing something right to keep everyone coming back for more since 1968.

Review: The American Bowman Restaurant

Review: The American Bowman Restaurant

This quaint restaurant is a staple for our family whenever we visit Weston, MO. The restaurant is situated inside a charming, rustic late nineteenth-century building that has been built onto O'Malley's, and the interior atmosphere can perhaps be best described as "old farmhouse romantic". Lit candles and kerosene lamps grace the rough-hewn tables, and the popular folk artist Bob Reeder often serenades each table with traditional Irish ballads.
