Restaurant Inspections: Ham's Deli, Lloyd and Harry's Get Perfect Score

St. Charles County Health Department inspects restaurants several times a year. This is part one of the list of inspections completed between Dec. 1 and Jan. 31.

St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment regularly inspects food service establishments throughout St. Charles County, except for within limits of St. Peters. Businesses are inspected one to four times a year or after public complaints. "Lower-risk" places, like gas-stations that serve pre-packaged foods, are inspected less often than "higher-risk" places, like a restaurant, said Doug Bolnick, spokesman for the health department. The establishments begin with a score of 100 and points are deducted based on the severity of problems observed. According to the department's website, a low score does not mean the restaurant was unsafe on the day of the inspection. "A place could have just one deficiency that garners…

Burger Battle: Final Roundup and Winner Declared

After visiting six local burger joints, "St. Charles Patch" declares a winner for the St. Charles Burger Battle.

Patch visited six burger joints in St. Charles. We visited two local favorites, two national chains and two Main Street staples. You can read our individual reviews of JJ’s Burgers, Smashburger, Loco’s Grill and Pub,  AAA Burgers, Lloyd and Harry’s and Uncle Joe’s after we give you the skinny on the town’s best beef. BEST BURGER ON MAIN STREET Uncle Joe’s put up a good fight, but honestly, they were no competition for Lloyd and Harry’s. You can’t beat 99 cents for a base price. The restaurant nickle and dimes you by charging for individual toppings, but the end result is a burger that has a ton of variety options for less than you’d pay at a drive-through. I was impressed with Lloyd and Harry’s selection, speed and friendly servers. If you…

Burger Battle: Uncle Joe's Bar and Grill Wins for Most Interesting Side Dish

For the past few weeks our resident restaurant reviewer is searching for the best burger in St. Charles. This week, she tried Uncle Joe's burgers.

Now that summer has come to a close, St. Charles Patch is searching for the best burger in the city. The recent review of JJ's Restaurant sets a high bar for burgers in St. Charles. However, there are some other worthwhile contenders. Throughout the next few weeks, we’re visiting the best burger joints in the city to see how their offerings stack up. When conducting a burger battle, how could I resist a place with a burger and fries painted on the window? Uncle Joe's is another one of Main Street's bars that happens to serve lunch. Like Lloyd and Harry's, it's clearly a bar first and a restaurant second, though it didn't have a minimum drink order. A dozen assorted sized tables dot the narrow dining area. The back wall hosts a couple of …

Burger Battle: Lloyd and Harry's Sit Down Meal Cheaper than a Drive-Through

For the next few weeks, our resident restaurant reviewer is searching for the best burger in St. Charles. This week, she tried Lloyd and Harry's.

Now that summer has come to a close, St. Charles Patch is searching for the best burger in the city. The recent review of JJ's Restaurant sets a high bar for burgers in St. Charles. However, there are some other worthwhile contenders. Throughout the next few weeks, we’re visiting the best burger joints in the city to see how their offerings stack up. There's no question that Lloyd and Harry's is more of a bar than a restaurant. I wasn't optimistic when the waitress told me the burgers were 99 cents, and there was a one drink minimum to order food. The drink could be soda, but you had to hydrate if you wanted to sit down. As I hesitated, two men pulled up beside me and rattled off specific burger orders without looking at the menu. I …
