This place is cheeeeap cheap cheap. Wow these prices are good.
I was home for Thanksgiving so we took a family stroll around old town St. Charles and ended up at Lloyd and Harry's. It's right on the main street but a little away from the action. Perfect spot for a quick meal (or I'm guessing late night drinks).
The prices are insane, and due to that we way over ordered. 99 cent burger? Sure, how about two? Turns out these are legitimate full-size burgers, but make sure to note they charge extra per topping! What's that you say, a 99 cent burger isn't a good enough deal for you? How about $2 for a cup of chili, white chicken nachos for $3 or a buffalo chicken finger special WITH fries for $5? Unbelievable. You could eat huge here for $10.
We came in with the lunch rush, but our server greeted us pretty much immediately and was super attentive. Our drinks stayed refilled, and whenever a table opened up the bartender jumped out and cleared it. They weren't striking up a conversation, but they were quick and efficient.
Notes: Smoking is allowed inside (minus one star for this). This is a paper plate type place and you'll have to ask for utensils. The food seems to come out as it's ready so be ready if some entrees come out before others.
I love going to Old Town St.Charles and walking about. There is always fun to be found there. Whether your shopping, going to clubs, or just want to get a bite to eat.
That's when I stopped by Lloyd & Harry's. It isn't much to look at but it is a nice enough dive bar. People love to come in, probably due to their low price food items. They keep it simple here folks, so if you are looking for something a little more uplevel then I would suggest going elsewhere. Finger food items galore is what the specialize in really.
We usually order a variety of items to it tends to be a free for all. Our table is usually filled with something that you would eat and eat we did. Chicken chili nachos (Yum), hamburgers, buffalo chicken wings, toasted rav's, peal-n-eat shrimp, and steak kabobs. We ate well for sure and didn't get price gouged. Beers are $3 bucks so not to bad. We had 4 buckets but my group likes to indulge a bit.
Stop in there if you wish to get a cheap bite to eat. The waitress are always friendly.
Cheap Cheep Yum Yum. Â Dirt Cheep Food, and Beer. Â
Found this place by just parking on Main Street and walking to see what our options were. Â For some reason the hole in the wall look (total dive bar) and the number of folks eating there made it very enticing. Â Also, the sign on the street with the 99 cent brats, and burgers helped as well.
Inside, it's small, kind of smokey, but not too bad, and they have a couple of TV's. Â Nothing too special, a total watering hole with food to boot. Â Laid back bunch of folks who were pretty friendly.
Food. Â Yes, it was cheap. Was it good? Â Yes. Â For the money? Â Hell yes. Â Whats really awesome, and maybe a little overblown on my part, was their nachos. Â The ballpark nachos are chips, that processed cheese like at Busch, and a bunch of jalapenos. Â Its simple, but satisfying. Â I also got a brat, and it was very good. Â
They get you on the toppings, so if you order a 99 cent brat and add kraut/relish its 2.00. Â 2.00 for a loaded brat is still awesome. Â
1 drink minimum since there food is so cheap, and that drink can be soda, beer, etc. Â
When walking down Main Street take those blinders off because you might just miss something great looking for "mainstream good".
I have been to Lloyd and Harry's a few times and do not have anything bad to say about the place. Â The wait staff is always nice and the food is cheep. Â The quality of the food is nothing special but not bad either. Â The deck in the back is awesome during spring and fall but I find it too hot a lot during the summer. Â This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for some good cheep fun down on Main Street.
Review Source:Two dollar drafts and 99 cent burgers - need I say more? OK, I will: nice waitstaff, great patio, cozy indoors, great television, good cheap food, and live music. A burger, fries, and a beer are less than five bucks.
I usually go around dinner time, and I've seen couples, coworkers, friends - basically all kinds of people hanging out here. It's a great place to watch sports or take your mom - well, if your mom is cool.
Lloyd & Harry's has a great patio that looks out on the Missouri River, and they even have a TV out there so you won't miss a game!
We went here for the first time yesterday on a Saturday afternoon around 3:00 to get lunch. I think this place would be fine if you only want to drink & never get waited on. We sat at a table & the waitress came out to take our drink order. We got a diet coke with lemon & a diet coke. A different waitress brought the sodas minus the lemon. (That was just the beginning of terrible service). We ordered buffalo chicken strips & some peel & eat shrimp for appetizers. She said she would be back to take our order. A guy brought out our shrimp & buffalo chicken, and refilled our drinks. We didn't get any kind of silver ware. So we ate the chicken (which actually was very good) with our fingers. I thought maybe they didn't have silverware but they serve salads. Finally 10 minutes after we ate the appetizers the waitress came over & asked how things were. REALLY?! We would like to order food, but with the service we had received so far I just asked for our check. Â
I am not sure if we were new so they didnt want to wait on us (she had come to the table next to us several times while we waited to place our food order) or if she was just lazy. I am giving one star stictly because of the guy who worked there, he was nice & seemed competent & the buffalo chicken being good.
Would not recommend for dining, only if you want to go to the bar & order drinks.
This was one of the spots our "party bus" took us to. Â At first when walking towards the bar, it looked like we were going in to someone's backyard where we had to sneak in to get to a party. Â I realized this was the back area. Â But the mystery was fun. Â They do have a front door that leads to a nice well lit empty street.
It's definitely a place to come to when you want something laid back and chill. Â Live bands entertain you and if you can belch out a song or play an instrument they might even let you perform. Â My cousin gave a good performance - very unexpected.
I had fun, and would go there again even if it's not with anyone.
