J Greene's Pub - Saint Louis

Literally THE BEST bread pudding ever! Also have good appetizers and everything is fresh! Your local dive bar :

I was really hoping J Greene 's would step it up a bit in their reopening. OMG. we went in Sunday and all I ordered was clam chowder and toasted ravioli. the chowder was borderline rancid and I couldn 't eat many of the ravs because the one bite of soup made me nauseous. They took the soup off my bill. Big woop! Don 't think we 'll be going back. This was the second chance. Last time I ate inside the Sunday special Fried Chicken was raw in the middle, Sent it back and his response was it was cooked to temperature . Well, I guess your temp probe was off. Of course, I couldn 't eat it. Big waste of money. They seem very nice in the place, but you can 't eat nice so I can 't recommend anyone to eat there.

These neighborhood joints all look, feel, taste the same. J Green's is on the lines of Duffy's, O'Leary's, or whatever the local spot in your area. Decent, but not all that fantastic food good service... even better if you're a regular, at a spot close to the house. J Green's is near my house and I see myself returning on a semi-regular basis. They have all the basics, burgers, salads, pizza, etc. They have a happy hour and a hanful of TV's for watching the game. It's not stuffy, crowded, or all that loud. We tried out some of the happy hour specials... $5 each... mini chicken fried steak (chicken nuggets on top of mashed potatos with gravy), potstickers, cheese sticks, and popcorn shrimp. Nothing outstanding. The drinks were on special too and the bartender did not skimp on the booze. Nice. Service was really good. We were made to feel welcomed, offered suggestions, and she stopped by often... Molly was her name.

Made a reservation Had to get our own menus Waited 10 minutes to be visited and greeted by a server When we asked about the special server didn 't know the price or how it was cooked Food was ok and part of it was incorrect and the servers response was to be ho eat I have no clue what 's going on back there . Not professional and didn 't seem to really care that this is a job be thankful

Power salad was good but could have used more toppings (e.g. cheese) and less dressing. White chicken chili is good but could use more heat and bigger chunks of chicken. My wife had the taco salad with smoked chicken, and the chicken was too smoky, and there was not enough lettuce. Daughters had the pizza and grilled cheese. Both were fine! Pizza had good flavor.
