Poor Richards

This place has improved 250% since the restaurant smoking ban passed in Saint Louis County.
Beer selection isn't impressive by any stretch but the specials are nicely priced. Service is pretty good, great place for catching up with friends. Nice inexpensive place for dinner.
I wouldn't necessarily reccomend it as anything other than a neighborhood bar, but all things considered, it's pretty good.

*Disclaimer* It was VERY busy... but the place left some to be desired. First, there is absolutely NO waiting area. You walk in right on top of other people dining. We waited a reasonable amount of time, despite the place being busy, but there was no one there to greet us and put our name on the list right away. When we finally did get seated, they asked another couple to give up half their table (I felt bad for them). We were literally in the doorway so when others walked in they had to stand 2 inches away from us while they waited. We tried to move our table and then were asked to move it back after we had food on our table. We ordered the wing special. The wings at the Eureka location are TO DIE FOR. This location's wings were burned to a crisp and were inedible. We complained and the first waitress didn't even apologize. The second girl who was helping us (why have two waitresses?) was much more apologetic. The girls were busting their butts, but they were obviously understaffed. 15 minutes to get a dinner salad, 40+ minutes for 2 orders of 12 wings. When we left, I immediately noticed that I smelled like a fryer. The ventilation must be awful! I had to strip and wash my clothes immediately and shower because our house started to smell like fryer!

Probably will give it another try...but it won't be the top of the list in the future.

Good Stuff
I can honestly say they have the best Bloody Mary around. Also their food is good and also inexpensive. Excellent wings, burgers. Recently I had the Philly steak and cheese which was awesome. I would give Poor Richards a full five stars except for one thing. When you come out of this place your clothes smell like you've been working the deep fryer all day. They need some better ventilation in that place.
