Our second attempt at a D restaurant on St. Louis was to Dooley's Beef n Brew House601 N. Grand, St. Louis, MO 63103. We enjoyed this experience much better than D #1, but I still wasn't overly impressed.
Seems our server was on his first day back after a hospitalization from a brown recluse spider bite, the details that I didn't need, but Wendy suggested that I asked the questions that prompted the answers.
The building is also old, but except for one booth that looked like it may have come from a Las Vegas establishment that was being torn down in the 70's, the interior appeared well maintained and it was definitely clean (a server who was three days in to her new employment and was stuck with a family of four who were out of control - parents AND older children - vigorously wiped tables all evening).
Again, we had fried pickles. They were good and served with a chipotle sauce that didn't have much chipotle in the mix. We also ordered the Irish fries - cheese fries with corned beef and Provel cheese. Wendy, who isn't a corned beef fan, even enjoyed the fries. They were different than normal cheese fries, but the corned beef was mild and it made a great start to the meal.
I had the Louie Burger for dinner. It was a traditional hamburger that I wouldn't go back for - good, but not great. Wendy had the Cardinal, a chicken sandwich made with traditional wing sauce. She enjoyed it.
Overall, D was not a winner for me.
