Editorial Review for Bevo Mill – by Melissa Martin
The Scene
Tourists and locals with out-of-town guests come to see Bevo Mill's three-and-a-half-story working windmill, built in 1916 by August A. Busch Sr., a founder of the Anheuser-Busch brewery. Meals are served in the Mill Room, where the vaulted ceilings, cathedral-like arches, and stone-carved gnomes and gargoyles charm visitors. You can make a day of a visit to Bevo Mill by also stopping by the nearby Grant's Farm or the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The Food
The menu offers a variety of classic German and American fare, including a popular Sunday brunch. For dinner, try the German sampler platter, which includes sauerbraten (marinated sweet-and-sour beef roast), schnitzel (a breaded, fried veal cutlet) and bratwurst (pork and veal sausage), served with a crispy potato pancake, tangy red cabbage and spaetzle (tiny flour dumplings).

The restaurant is built like a wind mill - sort of difficult to miss. And as others have mentioned - it has a hugh parking lot. The food is good, the people are friendly and the service is great. Let's talk about the food - served hot, and the menu has "German Favorites" and other things. Once I ordered the pasta - that was a mistake - it was pasta fettechini - but it was "fresh from the freezer". The German sausages and beef dishes are great - I have ordered routunda two times - enjoyed both. To answer the question - would I return? The answer is yes! I have returned most weeks for the past 10. Monday and Tuesday is not crowded; Wednesday they have musicians play by your table - nice treat - but also the restaurant is more crowded. They have a special beer deal if you bring in your own stein (they are lenient on steins). I went to ebay, bought a stein, and now purchase the beer at a discount. I even left my stein there to avoid carrying it back. There are some things that just don't make sense - they have one (1) beer on tap; hmm a German restaurant with one beer on tap - seems odd. They have many more by bottle - but the discount beer with stein only applies to tap. The hostess and several of the wait staff have come to recognize me - this is also a nice touch. Absolutely worth a try. Work colleges have come and enjoyed - but have not returned. With the staff wearing German costumes, and the building - yes a wind mill, the interior is also German themed - you will not forget this place. Come have some fun.
Pros: German food - and tasty
Cons: Food occationally over cooked

I remember going to Bevo Mill as a very little girl. I remember it being a "fancy" (read expensive and inaccessible) restaurant. When my husband and I took an out of town friend for brunch I was pleasantly surprised. The whole experience was very relaxed and fun. All of the servers are dressed in traditional German garb. The food was pretty good as well. You will find some traditional brunch favorites as well as some not so familiar German choices. The Belgium waffles are to absolutely die for. I would say that Bevo Mill may not have the largest or most exciting brunch buffet in the city, but it certainly holds its own and has the added benefit of costumed servers. It was a delicious hoot!
Pros: good food, lederhosen, heavenly waffles
Cons: limited selection
