Best wings in the Yonge and Finch area. Good service. Good place to watch a Hockey game.
The only big draw back is that you may have to way for a table on a busy night.
If the bottom is full, you can try going upstairs too. The menu is the same as downstairs. -

The nacho isn't really good. Not enough cheese on the chips, and the guacamole tastes bland and watery. There are some burned chips as well. Jalapeno adds some punch in the flavor, but the overall taste leaves sour note in the throat.
The wings are ok. Not an expert on wings, but they tasted like any other wings I've had before. Actually, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Pizza Pizza wings and St. Louis wings. This is not good.
The place is always packed. It is crowded and noisy, of course. Tables are small, and there is barely any space between tables to give privacy.
Beer selection is not even worth a mention. This is a typical bar serving Molson Canadian as its driving force. -

Came here for a round of drinks with some friends. Their special for rolling rock was pretty decent at 5 bucks a pint so not complaining (Friday night) much better than the $17 pitcher we had gotten a half hour earlier at the Frog and Firkin. My GF picked up the wings with the suicide sauce, which she had tackled before without incident. I guess St. Louis decided to up their game as her wings came out to be on the sweat inducing water/beer guzzling side! That being said she tanked through the rest of it and all in all it made for a very relaxed get together.
Nothing else about this St. Louis really stood out. Of course it came with the standard group of drunk guys in the midst of being cut off...

I absolutely love this bar, it's got great service and is always a good time to hang out with friends to grab a few drinks. This place is VERY popular and is always full on any weeknight, which explains why there was a lounge built upstairs to accomodate for popularity.
This St Louis is like every other St Louis out there since it is a franchise but the service here is FANTASTIC and very friendly. The food here is great (for bar food) and their famous dill ranch dip is simply amazing.
Onion Chips - These are soo delicious, they aren't onion rings they are tiny pieces of onion deep fried in a light fish and chips batter.
Wings - Wings come in 1 lb or 2 lb and are generally tasty, can be dry sometimes but it doesn't matter because the dip tastes so good with the wings. My favorite flavors would be Honey and Hot or Smokey BBQ, they are classic wings not the oversauced breaded nasty wings you get from Allstars or something. They taste great especially with the dip.
Fries - These fries are AMAZING I love them. They are probably from frozen but they come out looking like big potato wedges but deep fried!
The environment, service and popularity of this place makes it the bar to be in the area. Locals love it, and all the other bars around the area suffer because of that. Be sure to come here for a few drinks on a night where you just want to hang out with some friends. -

Friend: I wanna get drunk but I want something close to us
Me: St Louis Bar and Grill?
Friend: Eff yeah, let's do it.
Needless to say, this was a fun place and a fun night.
The staff here are nice enough and it's one of those places where they have regulars who are greeted by name and a hug.
The menu here is just like any other St. Louis so average enough and the cost isn't bad.
The drinks are UBER cheap but there's a reason why: if it ain't beer, it sucks. Their mixology knowledge is a little off...as every shot/martini/mixed drink you will have will taste slightly sour. I could have sword a jelly rancher shot was supposed to be sweet and not clear blue.
They also have a lounge upstairs. Get drunk here on the cheap while eating finger food, but don't bring your family here for a full meal. -

This is my go to local bar, where I am always guaranteed a pitcher of Stella and a few pounds of awesome wings. The staff here is great, fast and super friendly, I officially love them all. My favorites food vise are hot n' honey wings, sweet potato fries and lots and lots of onion chips. Their signature dill sauce is a must for everything from wings to fries. The Ceasar is nice and spicy, but I like beer if you know what I mean.
The space upstairs (the lounge) is where high school kids come to get some beer in hopes that their IDs won't be checked, and in most cases it works.
Overall a great local place with a lot more personal atmosphere than other locations. -

I came here to try another venue that shows UFC without cover. The place for events/parties is up stairs and is called the lounge. The food consists of the menu served downstairs.
My buddy and I ordered two pounds of wings split between original buffalo style and suicide. The place was jam packed and we literally got the last table. Our server was very nice and even though the place was busy checked on us time to time. The wings arrived quickly and I must say these are one of the better wings I have had in TO. The suicide had a nice manageable kick to them . Buffalo style were OK but still better than one of the higher rated places I have tried. Unfortunately The beer selection is quite mundane with your usual variety of mainstream stuff. I went with a pint of Stella. The wings are mainly drummets so don't expect actual wings here. I had an appetite so I went for the Angus burger as well with an add on of sweet potato fries. The burger was ho hum though a hefty patty cooked through all the way and was surprisingly cold. Fries were good.
Washrooms are upstairs and are not very clean and get slammed in between matches.
This place is very popular apparently and does get real packed so try to come in early if its a larger group as several people were turned away while we were there.
Verdict 3.5 stars overall due to the above average wings and no cover for UFC.
Note. Even though they have HDTV the PPV event was shown in SD a logic that escapes me as that seems to be the norm in Toronto. -

I like that this location has a second floor with a different vibe. As the title suggests, it feels a bit more lounge-y. St.Louis has the yummiest fries, so crispy and tasty, perfect when paired with their signature dill dip. Their wings are definitely no All Stars wings but it's not terrible either ($9.99 for 1lb). Their hot wings however, are not very hot at all. Word of advice: go on TUESDAY NIGHTS for 1/2 price wings!
Their Klondike chili is decent ($7.49 with fries, $5.49 without), their cocktails are good, and I love their nachos with jalapenos, it's really spicy and perfect for sharing while watching the game on their many tv screens ($11.99) -

I have been to 4 different locations but I would say this one is my favourite and the one at Fairview Mall.
I usually go there for snacks and drinks, not lunch or dinner. I have tried the pulled pork sandwich and the nachos with grilled chicken. Both are really good in my opinion. Besides that, I usually go for the poutine or fries because their amazing here.
In terms of price, it is average. You could have a meal at St. Louis for under 15-20$. Service is decent, if you're in the lounge the atmosphere is a lot more relaxing but I found the service to still be pretty good. I would go there again, but most likely for drinks and snacks. -

I really don't the big deal about St. Louis..
I live close to this location, and even the convenience of living close doesn't make me EVER wanna go back, EVER!
The service is truly terrible, terrible, terrible. Not to mention the food, well I wouldn't feed it to my dog, and I don't even have a dog!
I do not understand why it is extremely busy here, always.. oh wait, I do, because it is a bar and it attracts the drunks; DUH! -

Saw all these "St. Louis" places around while being in Toronto, and was finally taken to one to see what it is all about. It is your typical chain style, bar food type of place. This location I came to was actually pretty cramped inside. The tables were close together, with not much elbow room. I will say that this place is good to catch the game, as they have enough tv's, even outside on the deck, that are viewable.
The food was sub-par, compared to your typical place that serves burgers and fries, just with a bit more selection in wings, and beer. The service on the day I was there was pretty good for a full house, they were attentive, especially to empty glasses sitting at our table, asking if we wanted more water, or beer. -

Decent wings and drinks. I came here with a couple friends to have a few drinks and talk.
*** Food ***
I ordered 1 pound of wings and a pitcher of Keith's.
* Wings *
I ordered the suicide sauce on the wings (there's one level hotter). It's hot, but still edible. The wings are well cooked, though a little tough in spots. A problem with the sauce is that most of it lies at the bottom of the tray they bring it in, so you have to roll the wing in a thin coating of sauce. It comes with fries which are not too appetizing. The fries are big and don't have as much potato as there are fried parts (for lack of a better term).
*** Appearance ***
St. Louis looks like a typical sports bar with neon signs and TVs everywhere. It's clean and there are lots of people. There is a small patio and the tables out there wobble. The washrooms are in decent condition too. The sound level is very high, so having a conversation is difficult, but it is a sports bar and they were showing the NHL playoffs.
*** Service ***
The service is good. Someone was ready to have me seated as soon as I entered. They were quick with our order. The people are friendly and accommodating as we decided to move from inside, to the patio.
*** Price ***
1lb wings: $9.99
Pitcher Keith's: $15.17
Bowl of Chili: $5.49 (Friend's order)
Rum and coke: $4.23 (Friend's order)
Total after tips and taxes: $65
I think the pricing is too high. I can think of a lot more food and drinks I could get for cheaper.
*** Final Score ***
A place like this is good, depending on the mood. If you want to kick back and just chat with friends, there is a patio. If you like watching sports and having a few drinks in the midst of drunken sports fans then you'll enjoy St. Louis.Listed in: Noise 'n Poison

Yes, I know St. Louis is a franchise bar. I don't mean to write about it but I recently went there again after a few years hiatus and have to enlighten others about it...
So, this was the place to go back in high school in North York. We had a severe lack of cool places to hang out and eat, but St. Louis wasn't half bad and it was cheap! The servers there knew we couldn't leave them any kind of decent tip so they didn't bother with us, and we didn't bother with them.. at least, I thought it was just because we were young and lacked money that the service was terrible..
Not so.
I should say that the chicken wings, fries or no fries daily special is nothing to sniff at! The price, flavour, and variety of heat is great, and I would probably go again if it came up, but only for the food.
The service at this Yonge /(north of) Sheppard location is just as bad as I remembered it. No wait, the service IS terrible. I'd rather go down the street to McDee's and get my free smile than try to pry one from the lips of the servers there. I don't think I've EVER seen anyone smile there, and service means a lot to me. I used to be a waitress and I know that a smile, albeit terrible food or atmosphere will go a long way in making someone's day brighter.
I'll give this location and its servers one thing though; it is usually extremely busy there, especially on Tuesdays when the wings are half price. (A good night to go for cheap eats, if nothing else.) When I've gone mid day for a late lunch, St. Louis is quieter and the waiters seem to have a bit more breathing room. But still, no smile.
It's as if they want to seat you, throw a few chicken wings on to your plate and get you out as soon as possible, and in that sense, St. Louis is just a typical franchise place to get cheap and fast food. I'd recommend getting take out instead so you can enjoy the great wings in the comfort and happiness of your own home! -

I really don't get the hype about St. Louis and their wings.. there's only 3 flavours, they're super small and not anything worth their price. If you don't go for the wings however this is a pretty nice sports bar to watch soccer / hockey games at and the servers are pretty friendly.
