And see what people are saying:

"If you are new to St. Louis, or even if you're not, let us make one thing perfectly clear. There is nothing like Blueberry Hill. It is not a theme restaurant. It is the real thing. Music. Beer. Hamburgers (and a number of similar things). And the décor. No one forgets the décor. Eating at Blueberry Hill is like eating at the Smithsonian."

-Joe & Ann Lemons Pollack, The Great St. Louis Eats Book

Best Place to Take Out-of-Towners:
"What tourist wouldn't be thrilled to peruse the jukebox, check out the Howdy-Doody memorabilia, see the Walk of Fame stars outside, set eyes on the actual stage where Chuck Berry still does the duck walk? With its rich history, an array of American and hometown faves like toasted rav and a prime location in The Loop, it's the perfect place to start or finish a sight-seeing tour of STL."

-Alive Magazine

"Blueberry Hill, a St. Louis bar and eatery known for its offbeat window displays."

-Newsweek

"Blueberry Hill is a large restaurant and night spot packed with Americana and rock-and-roll memorabilia. The menu offers a wide selection of tasty hamburgers, sandwiches and salads."

-New York Times

“I don’t come here for the music. I come here for the wings."

-Chuck Berry

"It almost goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway: There's just not a better place to hang out in St. Louis, for various and sundry reasons, than Blueberry Hill. But let's tick a few of them off: They've got great food, including world-class burgers; a wide array of beers; and ambiance -- in the form of bar owner Joe Edwards' lifelong obsession with collecting records, posters, comic books, satyr statues, you name it -- that's second to none. You can go there to play darts, pinball and video games; smoke a fine cigar; pump some quarters into the jukebox; or just wait around for Bob Costas to show up. Down in the Elvis Room, you can hear great local bands, whereas the Duck Room, arguably our town's finest small-sized music venue, presents terrific national acts and monthly gigs by St. Louis' own Chuck Berry."

-Riverfront Times

"Chuck Berry plays here (aptly, in the Duck Room) one Wednesday a month. As if that's not enough, there are two rooms for live music, seventeen beers on tap, excellent burgers, and darts - as well as plenty of local blues bands."

-Rolling Stone

"Voted best hamburgers and best decor, Blueberry Hill is an institution in The Loop and in St. Louis. Cool bands (Chuck Berry is a regular), great wings, reasonable prices, and a good atmosphere for all kinds of people. Restaurant by day, bar by night. Be warned, fake IDs don't work here. We can't say enough about one of our favorite places!"

-Washington University's Student Life

"Six choices of cheese for the burgers, nine homemade salad dressings, 78 beers and 145,000 digital 'jukebox' selections all contribute to Blueberry Hill's standing as a St. Louis landmark."

-Sauce Magazine

"I had my first legal drink at Blueberry Hill in 1973. And I enjoyed it every bit as much as the ones I had before that."

-John Goodman

"Do you know a place called Blueberry Hill?"
"Sure! Everyone in St. Louis does! Hop in!"

"I want to come home to St. Louis and to my buddies and go to Blueberry Hill and eat a burger."

"Are you kidding? Is there a person in the St. Louis metropolitan area of legal drinking age who has never set foot in this essential landmark of food, drink, live music and pop-culture keepsakes? Opened in 1972, and expanding every ten or so years since, Blueberry Hill does everything right. Whether dishing out a tasty burger or giving Chuck Berry a monthly chance to remind us of his legend, Blueberry Hill maintains the commitment to quality that helped it build the Loop into an essential social center of St. Louis. And heck yeah, you can hang out there with your friends and just have beer or spirits."
