Lunch today. Food and service was great! It was a pleasure to meet the new owner and chef. Will be back soon.

Satchmo's was a great place to see the game and have dinner. I had the amazing Colorado Burrito that had a great mix of beef, beans and green peppers. It was great. My husband had a salad and wings, the salad us the best bar salad in Chesterfield. The best part was the Death by Chocolate dessert. It was wonderful. We will definitely come back. Thanks Jeff!

Food is very good! Creative take on nachos, excellent prices, and service is great. Love all the new updates to look of the place. The entire staff really takes care of you.

Great food and fantastic service. $2 drafts on Sunday. There isn't a better deal in town.

This place just reopened under new owners with menu changes and updated interior. They have full bar, happy hour drink specials and hopefully they will get their music license back so they can have tunes soon. Service was good as was food . The menu is limited with a few unique items. So I had the Monte Cristo sandwich and was surprised how delicious it was, it's very filling so enough to share , husband had patty melt and was pleased with his choice.

Happy hour at 4 pm. Had only 3 spa on special and one was sold out. Had the chicken wings. Had both kinds. The fried plain with sauce on the side were great. Would like more sauces. The dry ribbed smoked very disappointing. They were not crispy as the smoke them and then bake in the oven. Dinner menu was not exciting. Will go back and give them another chance in a few weeks

Always good foodand service, but miss the cozy booths since they remodeled. Love the neighborhood bar atmosphere.

An ode to Satchmo's. This restaurant, at its present location, under its (until recently) previous owner, is just slightly older than me at this writing. It's been a constant presence in my life even before I could legally consume alcohol, and had been an introduction into the bars one typically associated with noir films and 1980's flicks- The lights were traditionally fairly low and gave the bar and restaurant a mysterious, if sometimes difficult to see flair. It was open fairly late and the kitchen kept serving food fairly long into the night, when its immediate competitors (literally next door or down the street) would often either switch to appetizers only, or stop serving food at all. It was loud! Which makes sense since there's literally a small stage right next to the entrance. I'm typically a solitary drinker and on most evenings I'd shy away from this sort of environment. But it was an easy place to disappear into a crowd, so to speak. Despite the numerous patrons the live bands often drew, the service did its best, even on days with few on the clock. But i'm mostly a food reviewer rather than a music venue connoisseur. In that realm, I always appreciated receiving emails via their membership letting me know about their specials, which ran the gamut of a New Orleans classic or a standard item on sale. I first started eating here mostly for the burger deals, which some ten years ago was a deal indeed (like 7 bucks for a mighty burg, fries, and a drink), and over time moved onto other items on the menu. Before Satchmo's, I didn't even know Alligator was edible, much less fried and breaded. When it was cooked fairly well, about 80% of the time, it had the consistency of honest to god chicken nuggets, with a slightly fish-like after taste. At worse it sometimes came out tough, probably from overcooking. This leads to my only real criticism of this restaurant. The service does its best with its availability- I won't fault the waitstaff occasionally struggling on days when the place is packed from trivia night or a band. But the food sometimes ran the danger of arriving "just ok," and it didn't survive delivery very well. Normally this should be a cause for removing a star, but I won't this time. In the first place, that's asking too much of bar food- its meant to be eaten then and there. And in the other place, i'm biased- biased in the way that someone can be when they're informed that a yet another constant in their life is going away. At this writing, after my meal, I was informed that Satchmo's had been purchased some three months ago by a new owner- they had apparently changed the menu and only kept a few of their choice cajun dishes, like this excellent Jambalaya I ate this evening. Apparently, they're moving to the empty building where Granite City Pub used to be, and rebranding. The taste of this Jambalaya was exceptional- i'm sure the new business will do well. But it won't be my Satchmo's. Not the Satchmo's that hardheadedly almost got closed by the city for... let's say, pandemic drama. Not the Satchmo's that successfully argued for the allowance of... delivery cocktails. (Come on, no matter how that concept sounds, they deserve props for getting the city to let them do that.) Not the dark, dank, loud and stereotypical pub that I used to be afraid of growing up, only to find that inside, the people were like anyone else. I took for granted that a place that survived the pandemic would last forever. But at least I got to have my last supper here end on a good note. With a pint of Oktoberfest and a massive plate of Jambalaya. Godspeed, Satchmo's. I'll miss you.

I had a meal picked up from here today, and although the person picking up the meal said it smelled greasy, it didn't look or seem like any other bar and grill. I ordered the shrimp and grits and reviews were either really good or really bad so I knew I was in for something I really liked it something I hated. The shrimp and grits were actually very good. There needed to be more shrimp (we were told 8 per dish) and I think I had half that amount if even. There was a lot of the chorizo and the tomato gravy while too much for the amount of grits... it tasted fresh and was actually something that had me searching it to see what exactly was in it to try to replicate something similar. It was quite a filling dish and I was very happy I ordered it. It seems to me that the seafood dishes get praises and reasonably priced seafood dishes are needed in this area. I did not go there due to illness, so I cannot speak to ambiance or service but I specifically asked if it was very loud (a common complaint) and the person picking up my order said no. It did take about twenty minutes from time of order to receipt but again, this dish tasted fresh with sauce that seemed to be house made and cooked to order so the wait was not such a big deal. I have only ordered food here once but based on this particular experience, I would definitely go back.
