Undertow Restaurant

There are no bad reviews for this place so we must’ve gone at a bad time. There was one other table seated when we got there. Our order was taken within 10 minutes, then we waited. My daughter’s pizza came out after about 30 minutes. 5 minutes later, my mom’s mashed potatoes came out, we were told her 2^nd item, green beans, weren’t available. Then one of my dinner sides came out, coleslaw. It was frozen. 5 minutes later, my wife’s hot wings came out, burnt, charcoal — like. Then my chicken Alfredo came out, warm at best. Then, finally, yes, my salad came to the table. Oh, but, I was supposed to get 2 sides with my dinner, which was never even addressed, until the bill came. We haggled down from $ 49 to $ 28, which we were remotely satisfied with to make up for this terrible encounter.

I’m one to go down to Main Street Saint Charles maybe once every two months or so. I’m not huge on the whole club bar scene which is why I like Undertow so much. A lot of the bars on main require a cover charge to get in. Undertow does not which makes it a perfect bar to start your night at.
The drinks were made very strong but well. The bartenders did a phenomenal job making my mixed drinks. I enjoyed every single one I had. The bartenders were very friendly and got to you pretty quickly when you came up to the bar.
The atmosphere there can get a little rowdy later on the night when they move the tables and chairs to provide more room for people. It is a fairly small bar, but it’s a good hole in the wall place. I would not suggest having a date here late night unless you and your partner are into dancing. But there really isn’t much room for the either.
All in all Undertow is my favorite spot at main because it doesn’t try to go above and beyond. It’s just a place to have drinks, listen to good music and make memories. 4 stars!

The night before Christmas Eve, I hosted a Middle School Reunion at The Undertow. (I know, a what!?) Growing up in St. Charles County, we thought it would be a great idea to have the reunion on good ol’ Main Street. «It’s going up on a Tuesday» was the theme, appropriately.
I have to say, Dustin & his team went above and beyond! They had the space ready for us at the agreed upon time, the DJ let me pick the genre I wanted to hear throughout the night, the food & beverage pricing was VERY reasonable (for all budgets that attended), security took our private event seriously, and Dustin even let me be the decision-​maker for the smoking policy.
Honestly, The Undertow met and exceeded all expectations! It was a very efficient planning process with Dustin and his Bartenders were friendly as can be! The part I loved most about the event is that once our agreement wrapped up at 9pm, the doors opened and folks started flooding in. By 10pm, it was definitely a good time!
Thank you again, Undertow Team!

So I hear Undertow has changed owners and now the owner is the same that owns the Field Box behind Lions Choice in Cave Springs.
I was scared because the Chipotle chicken Quesadilla at Undertow has become my favorite and thought that they might have changed cooks also.
Well I was pleasantly surprised that it was the same great food, great TV’s to watch the games. BUT I am usually outta there before 9pm so I can not comment on the night life. ;)

I heard the food was alright, but steer clear at night when the D-​Bags of st charles come out to bring their ignorant asses here

Love going there Mike is great always there and always gets your food right and checks back. Love watching sports there lots of TV’s and usually quiet.

I didn’t get a chance to eat here, just spent a few hours drinking here on a Friday night. It wasn’t very crowded and we had a nice booth in the front window. Waitress was friendly and fast, beer pitchers were super cheap and cold. Can’t really ask for more in a bar like this. It’s St Charles so there is smoking inside, unfortunately. After 10 they were setting up for a DJ of some sort but being old and not interested in loud music, we left before it started. We’d definitely be back for some more cheap beer another weekend.

I arrived at Undertow with previously high expectations since I have been here before and had a great visit.
Same great experience. Great food, awesome service, phenomenal pricing, Fast Eddie’s quality food in my own city.
The margaritas are wonderful, the pizza was bar-​type delicious, the hot pretzel loafs were fun and exciting!
Thanks again Undertow, I will be back again… and again… and again. :)
