trailhead brewing co

amazing. this is bar far my favorite resturant in town. the crap/artichoke dip is to die for. great beer too! always a fun atmosphere. and an awesomehappyhour!

two exhausted eclipse watchers who had started at 4am in nashville ended up here for a light dinner after a very long day. hadn't been in st charles in 25 years so it was great to see this lovely town again. we were going to the restaurant next door to eat outside but they were closed so on to trailhead! we started off with the raspberry beer that certainly hit the spot. it washappyhour with half price appetizers and pizza so we began to graze. the boiled shrimp was fresh and a good size. next was the sausage and pepperoni pizza. loved that sausage. we would have tackled the shrimp stuffed jalapeños next but alas, we were stuffed ourselves. service was decent with a friendly server. bathrooms were clean. the reason i deducted a point was that my seat which was half of a booth, was in desperate need of spring repair. there were many appealing menu selections so i will try to make it back before the next 25 years go by.

delicious andhappywith beer!. we went on a friday in april and it was busy but we waited about thirty minutes and got enjoyed our table by the open windows. my husband enjoyed trying the sampler of beer and it was extremely reasonably priced. i had a burger and he had nachos. the nachos were delicious and i ate more off his plate then mine. i recommend the onion rings for an appetizer.

always a good time. theirhappyhour is the best. beers are under $3 and half off appetizers and pizzas. their bbq chicken pizza is some of the best i've ever had. we always get their shrimp stuffed jalapenos, spicy chicken drummies and onion rings and are never ever disappointed. great bar food, awesome atmosphere.

ridiculous wait for food. we went there with another couple for dinner before a concert. arrived at 6:00. said it would be about 15-20 minutes. seated at 6:55. we asked about thehappyhour appetizers and were told by the waiter we missed the cut off. someone at the table said the wait was much longer then we were told to expcet. he allowed us to put the order in. order of appetizers arrive at 7:50. at 7:40 i caught the waiter and asked if he could check on our food. he said that he just sat a "tabletop" of 16 people upstairs and 10 on this floor and the kitchen was backed up. he then proceeded to tell me that i needed to have "some patience". our meals came out at 8:15. two of us ordered burgers, both were good. the other two split the flatbread pizza. it was cold. we asked for our bill right when the entrees came out and he did not bring it to us until 8:30. by the time we got to the concert, we had missed both(!) opening acts and found a seat just in time for the headliner. disappointed. don't seat people if you can't handle the business. ps. we asked to talk to the manager and the server told us he was busy and it would be a while. we got up and left. i understand that sometimes restaurants get busy. not ok to be arrogant and rude.

greatly enjoyed dining here tonight. great food, beer and service. love thehappyhour deals!!

noisy but enjoyable. expect to wait and be surrounded by noise in the evening and weekends; this is a very popular place! great place to enjoy a drink and appetizers around 5 p.m. lively; food pretty good, always fun. i've been here a dozen times with groups and it changes very little. don't expect a cozy atmosphere and you will behappyat trailshead.

poor excuse forhappyhour. our group of coworkers try to make it tohappyhour every other month. we are a group of 8 to 16 depending on if spouses join or not. they no longer take reservations forhappyhour and that is their option but do they have to be so rude. in the past, we have just shown up anyway and take our chances of getting seated somewhat together. but no longer! after i called to reserve a table and the response was to be so un- accomodating, we have decided to meet elsewhere from now on. we love the st. charles area because it is so central to where we all live and work. luckily there are other restaurants in the area that are very accomodating. if the restaurant was busy, i might be able to understand the policy, but we arrive at 4pm and are gone by 5:30pm. we all orderhappyhour specials and beer or wine and cocktails. well, no longer. terrible manners on the phone and poor attitude are the main reason for our change of venue. also, we have been told there is no server available, well, that is why we call ahead with a 2 week notice. poor management is no excuse. we will not return!

the service is so-so at the bar but the pumkin beer made up for it. also, the food is good and they have a decenthappyhour. i would go back and give it another try.

try the pumpkin ale. trailhead is one of my favorite places to take people when they are visiting st. louis from out of town. it is also a fun place to hit forhappyhour during the week, although it can be a bit crowded.

first and foremost they have two of my favorite consumables in the area. the crab and artichoke dip appetizer served with fried pita bread is one of the best appetizers you'll ever get. i have yet to have someone try it and disagree. but by far the best item trailhead produces is their fall seasonal beer, the pumpkin ale. i'll go so far as to say it's my favorite beer against all others i've ever tried. they usually carry this pumpkin ale from the first of october until sometime in december. while i always enjoyed the idea of a pumpkin beer everything i had tried prior to trailhead just didn't make the cut. their pumpkin ale is smooth drinking and finishes with a slight aftertaste that will remind you of pumpkin pie.

all-in-all their food and beverage selection is of good value and excellent taste. of their beer selection i also like the red amber ale and the missouri brown dark ale. most of their food is can't-miss, but my favorite meal is the caribbean "jerk" burger (sans pineapple) with onion rings (huge) substituted for the fries and served with a side of their jalapeño ranch dressing. other items that deserve mention is the spicy chicken wings (they have some kick), deep fried shrimp stuffed jalapeños, italian sausage & pepperoni pizza, seafood bisque (go for the bowl), and the center cut pork loin medallions.
