The Garden Club

I wanted to check this restaurant out for their prime rib dinner and everyone had a good time. Portions were good sized and food came quickly after ordering. The side soup and salad was family style, so everyone had some.Reservations were easy to make on Yelp and last minute updates were easily accommodated when we arrived. Two kids and 6 adults for around $360 with drinks, not too bad. If it was a guys night out we probably would have spent more! I will be back to try their lamb shank dinner, it looked great as well.

The Garden Club is a SSF classic. It's got the old school vibes and good food. They recently changed the menu to no longer include the minestrone soup and salad with the all the pasta dinners. The minestrone soup and salad with the pasta dinner was one of the main reasons my family enjoyed going to the Garden Club. When charging $28 for a plate of pasta, I think that the Garden Club could include soup and salad with the meal, at minimal or no additional cost. Instead, we got charged $4 for a bowl of soup and some unknown amount for a small salad. While the food is good, I don't think we will be returning due to the shrinkflation that's occurring on the menu. When I walk out with a bill over $100 for 2 adults and a child (with no cocktails), it's chintzy and a slap in the face to get charged for soup and salad when a pasta dinner costs $28. Our server was pleasant, attentive and apologetic for the menu changes. Unfortunately, she no longer has 3 customers.

We went to this restaurant on Thanksgiving. Reservations were easy to make and although the house was full, service was great. It felt very cozy! I thought we would be able to order from their regular menu but this evening they had three set dinners to choose from - Turkey dinner, Prime rib, or salmon. This included house salad, minestrone soup, and sourdough bread/butter. Turkey dinner included pumpkin pie. The cost was $45 per person. We were a table of six and we ordered three cocktails, 2 cups of coffee, and two sodas and 5 ice cream scoops. We spent $400 dollars. Minestrone Soup 10/10House salad 10/10Turkey dinner 0/10 (tasted like cafeteria or hospital food) Pumpkin pie 10/10Vanilla ice cream 5/10Dirty Martini with Kettle 10/10Wait staff was very friendly, efficient and fast, Establishment has a nostalgic feel, more like a moms/pops type restaurant.Would I go back? Probably not. I was really disappointed on my dinner. Thanksgiving you look forward to eating good food and look forward to next days left overs. We didn't even finish our food. We did pack our dinners to go and tried to eat it the next day, but it just was not good. Maybe the Prime rib or salmon would have been better? I don't know. I just say, stay away from the turkey dinner.Would I be back again? Probably not.

Homey feel, not fancy but good food. Great service- don't know what to pick? Chat with your server. Connected to bar (next door) you can hear TVs / music esp if it's a game day. We are here for the PRIME RIB dinner $50. Well cooked, real mashed potatoes (not a mix) delicious minestrone soup (house made), lovely side salad. Fresh French bread /butter. So it's not romantic ... but the meal is great. French dip sandwich is great - comes with fries. So happy my hubby shared tastes of soup and salad, I appreciated that and didn't want so much food as on the full dinner. Located In the Salvation Army parking lot, lots of parking in this small shopping area. Congested but not impossible!

It was our first time here. Upon entering, the place had a homey/old school vibe. The music was rockin'! Server was super friendly with a great smile. The bread and butter were served right away! Their soup and salad were served a la carte and definitely had a homemade taste. Our prime rib was a very nice serving, however our rack of lamb seemed small for the price we paid. But my son gobbled it all up and said it was "TASTY"! Our bellies left satisfied and would like to come back for the burgers and Thursday Special-Osso Bucco!!Cheers!

If you want an amazing dining experience with old world charm this is the place. It been a while since I have been here still the same great food . Will definitely be back . Thank you Garden club for an outstanding meal

Hard to find good prime rib - where they really do it right! Great experience- got it the way I wanted! What more could I ask for? Yum. A family place with a bar connected. Like going to grandmas ...IF grandma made tasty food.

Had lunch with my mom. I was looking a lunch spot in South City and I was told by a coworker of mine that I should go to The Garden Club. It's an old school restaurant and bar. Our waitress was friendly and took our order. I had the prime rib, my mom got the Thursday Osso Bucco special. I got a very standard side salad with Italian dressing. It was fine, and fresh with a ton of beans on top. My mom got the minestrone soup, which she really enjoyed. My prime rib was nice and large and medium rare, with au jus and horseradish. It was very tasty. My mom also really enjoyed her Osso Bucco. It was fall-off the bone tender. Both plates came with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It was a no frills, solid meal. It is food that isn't served as much anymore in a setting from a time gone by. Let's keep it alive. I feel The Garden Club deserves to thrive many more years!

This is a spot I've been coming to for almost 10 years but haven't dined here in almost a year. It's old school through & through with the exception of the modern day jukebox. Food is good however when I got the bill I felt like I was pumping gas at a service station because I had the choice of cash or credit (see picture). I used my credit card and was charged about $5 more ! Whoever started this ridiculous charge should also make exceptions if the bill is over a certain amount ! Wise up because this will make some people think twice before patronizing your establishment...ahem this is the reason why I didn't give this restaurant a 5 star rating

Great French dip Real prime rib generous portion on a nice sourdough roll.But atmosphere is a little underwhelming. Service was good
