Ibby's - Saint Louis

Ibby’s service was excellent, but the buffet food was only average. Additionally, the atmosphere felt more like a busy cafeteria than what I had anticipated. Next time, I think I’ll choose from the menu to avoid disappointment. For a lunch spot, it would have been nice to see a few non-alcoholic beer options on the drink list, like WellBeing.

Now I understand why this place can’t even get an average four-star review. Somehow my friends wanted to try out this pricey place in a somehow affordable canteen. If the food was good, then fine the price would be acceptable. However, clearly the food was overpriced. And the worst thing of all was that they collected a 18% unconditional tips. No wonder the server could chill and took 15+ minutes to return our checks.

Aside from the carbonation machine not working (and I therefore couldn't get a Shirley Temple, nor my friend, her Cherry Coke), the food came out in a timely manner, our waiter was very polite and patient, and the prices were fair for the amount and quality of the food

The reservation was for Valentines...and never dining at the establishment. When arriving, noticed the location was at Wash-U 's collage campus. The 'restaurant ' was actually in the school 's Cafe area, just in the rear. Nice, but I was EXTREMELY overdressed. The ambiance is more tennis, jeans and relaxed shirt (college attire)...just a heads up.

Visited this restaurant for the first time with another alum. It seems a bit pricey for a student dining establishment, but perhaps reasonable for a date or dinner with your parents.Have to give a shout out to Jessica, the manager, who was very accommodating to my friend with a dietary restriction.
