The Gardens - Saint James

Nice set up wide open with 2 levels they offer both Food and Beer easily a place for everyone located right next door to a winery. 11 beers on tap plus a full bar so everyone is happy. The location is easy to get to right off the highway 44

Had a quick lunch with my husband. I ordered the trout fritter appetizer as my entree. They were little fried balls of tender trout, over a bed of homemade remoulade. They were delicious and the crunch of the outside with the soft inside was a perfect balance. My husband ordered a pub burger, which was perfectly cooked (medium) and the onion jam was a delicious topping. He also ordered the Public House Elusive IPA, which is a favorite of his. Our waiter Max was exceptional. Very friendly and attentive. We are inside this time, which is a beautiful, modern rustic building with lots of seating. The outdoor patio is beautiful and worth stopping for when the temps aren't too warm. Overall a very pleasant experience and definitely recommended!

Stopped here on our way home from Springfield, Mo. The place is very big and open and has a chill vibe. They have a decent beer menu and some cocktails. They also have wine from St. James winery next door. The food menu has a good selection. I got the bison burger and my husband got the Nashville chicken sandwich. The bison burger was good as well as the Nashville sandwich. I didn't really like the hot sauce used on the chicken sandwich but my husband enjoyed it. The fries also have some good seasonings on them. Our waitress was friendly and would come to check on us often. It did take some time to get our food but we weren't waiting too long for it. Overall, good experience and not a bad place to stop to break up a long drive.

Large patio seating for a nice day! Dogs allowed in outside and indoor seatings. They brought out a water dish for our dog. Food is good and waitress was very attentive. Brewery tour has not started since after Covid, but St. James winery next door has wine tour.

Super duper dog friendly!!! Incredible food, awesome selection of beverages from cider, beer, wine, spirits! The staff was so so friendly and fun to chat with. We were driving through on a cross country move, and this place was our favorite stop!!! Definitely swing in! Gorgeous venue too!
