Kreis' Restaurant Attitude
I was at Kreis's Rst. on New Year's Eve (1/31/2001). I had heard many good reports on how great their prime rib was. However, I was greatly disappointed in my Prime Rib. First of all, I realize that it was New Years Eve and they were very busy, but my Prime Rib came just about uncooked. I was with a large group and only 2 of us ordered the Prime Rib and both experienced the same problem. In addition, my meat was so tough that I could barely cut it. I would have normally sent it back, but since I was in a large group and we were going to a party afterwards, I decided to try to eat it. I managed to only cut and eat about 5 pieces when all of the other people were done with their meal. I decided to just get a doggy bag and take it home with me.

Two days later, I cooked the meat in my oven for 50 more minutes and it was now edible (still with lots of pink).

I called Kreis' Restaurant and complained about my meal and was told that one of their broilers went out and that they were running at about 55% of their capacity. If they would have told me that they could not cook the Prime Rib, I would have ordered something else. But no one said a thing. The person talking to me said that the owner would call me and discuss the situation with me. Several days went by and no call. I called back several more times and was told each and everytime that he would call me. Here it is January 25th and still I have not heard one word from him. I have to assume that he didn't care what kind of food he was putting out that evening and all he was interested in was in getting my money.

I can safely say that with that kind of attitude, I would have a hard time to recommend Kreis' Restaurant to anyone. In fact, I belong to another group of friends who had suggested going out the Kreis's Restaurant for an outing of our group. I told them of my experience and we decided to go to Bartilino's instead. By the way, the service and food at Bartilino's was exceptional.    [25 Jan 2002 17:29:19]

Kreis' Prime Rib
I must say that Kreis' prime rib is the BEST! I can't believe anyone could ever complain about it. Prime rib is supposed to be almost raw. We went there for my wife and my first Christmas gift meal and not only was their prime rib good, but so was their choice of potato which was a twice baked. Not just anyone does that. The maitre d' service was very good too. It wasn't cheap, but you got a LOT for your money. It's the best place to go to celebrate something very important. We will be going there tomorrow for our first anniversary and have a candlelight dinner. I can hardly wait!    [21 Jun 2003 20:25:08]

Kreis' Restaurant
Living in California, I always look forward to going back to St. Louis to visit friends and eat at Kreis Restaurant. For over 30 years, this restaurant has never disappointed. I've had many wonderful meals over the years and recommend it to anyone looking for a special place and fantastic food. The service matches the food.    [24 Jun 2003 16:37:39]

Best Resturant In STL
Kreis is by far one of the best restaurants in the St. Louis area. The atmosphere, food, and service are excellent, yet the resturant maintains an affordable price level. Whether entertaining friends or out of town business clients I can count on the wide variety of menu offerings to please any pallete. From their award winning Prime Rib (their Specialty) to their Grilled Vegetarian Platter, they have something for everyone. Their German menu items also help to accentuate the theme of the resturant and will please any foreign guest.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to have a great meal in a great atmosphere, at a great price.    [20 May 2004 18:49:27]

Kreis is a St. Louis treasure. People come from all over the midwest for the prime rib. Great homemade apple strudel. A true treasure.    [19 Aug 2004 22:02:24]
