Cc's City Broiler

If you're looking for a great steakhouse anywhere in Missouri, this place is as good as it gets! The service is outstanding every time, and the food never disappoints.

No reservations, so if you plan to come, arrive early. That's also a good tip for ensuring you won't choose something on the menu that's sold out. This place is very popular, and one of the best-selling steaks tends to sell out within the first 1-2 hours. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but if you want the ribeye, get there early.

I highly recommend Gary's Steak (Chicago style broiled ribeye), which I order rare, blackened, and topped with casino butter. The Filet is also exceptional and can be ordered in a smaller size if desired. I would also recommend the onion rings as an appetizer, the jalapeño twice-baked potato to replace your normal side dish, and the creme brûlée cheesecake for dessert.

One other note, and this is really a pet peeve of mine, please be kind to your server when tipping. Nothing is worse than going to a nice upscale restaurant for a great meal, receiving impeccable service, and then leaving a 5-10% tip. If you plan to dine here, plan to spend about $60 per plate plus wine, and for goodness sake leave a decent tip at the end. The waiters may work in one of the nicest restaurants in town and serve some of the wealthiest customers, but they still only make $2.15/hr without tips.  Eat, enjoy, and be kind to your server.

One other note, plastic is accepted but not Discover yet.

The man decided to show me COMO's top steakhouse and we enjoyed a nice dinner here with strip steak, prime rib roast, onion rings, salad, scallops and dessert. I know, we overindulged but considering how nice the atmosphere and service was for the city, we decided to take our time.

Food:  The salad that came with the entrees were a real treat! Presentation was nice, flavor was sharp, sweet, and fresh and I loved the fried (shallots?) they put on top. Onion rings were very good as well, not oily at all and served with a thousand island sauce on the side. Scallops were fresh (they advertise having the freshest seafood in the city, flown on ice daily and never frozen) and seared perfectly while served with slices of pork belly so tender, I thought it was fish. This was one dish I could eat again and again.

I was really hoping for a bonein ribeye but since they were serving a more limited weekday selection, I got the strip steak served super style instead. The medium was red but not bloody and had good taste with a thick cut. K's prime rib slice (Gary's steak) of their daily rib roast special was delicious. More lean than most prime ribs I've had, it had a rich flavor from being flame broiled in the kitchen (where we could see the steak chef sweating his hat off).

All in all, a good experience with decent service. Dessert was a bit less memorable but I can see how this is COMO's top restaurant of choice.

As others have noted, the food was excellent.  However, don't stay too long or you run the risk of being asked to leave.  My friend and I were seated at a small, out of the way table.  I guess we spent too much time over our food, wine, and dessert.  Someone that looked like a manager came over and asked us to leave because people had been waiting two hours for tables.  Having worked in the restaurant industry in a past life, I have always been very understanding of the pressures of the biz...what might bother others during the course of a meal seldom bothers me.  I approach a lovely meal out with a sense of gratitude, not entitlement.  Last night, the suggestion that we depart bothered me.  While I have had servers give me cues it was time to leave, I have never had an employee ask me to go.  What a disappointing end to what would otherwise have been a special meal with a good friend.
