Friday Food Critic: Review Show-Me's Restaurant in St. Charles

When it comes to restaurants, St. Charles has it covered.

We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some mom-and-pop diners; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets.

But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. 

That's where you come in.

We could throw some money at a professional food critic, but that's not exactly what Patch is all about. We'd much rather know the opinion of the fine folks that eat there day-in and day-out.

It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark.

That's why we are introducing The Friday Food Critic, where each week we will put a different restaurant on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth.

This week's restaurant is Show-Me's Restaurant. This is the Regency Plaza location of a regional chain of sports themed restaurants. It is located on Veteran's Memorial Parkway—the service road—near the Zumbehl Road exit off Interstate 70. It is big, comfortable place with a casual atmosphere and additional seating outdoors on the large covered porch. Menu choices are varied, but the emphasis is on wings, ribs, burgers, cheese steaks, steamed shrimp, oysters and seafood, plus a number of different salads are available. There is full bar service, draft or bottled beer and specialty drinks. Big screen TVs are tuned to sporting events, and darts and arcade games round out the entertainment.

At St. Charles Patch, we believe your words of wisdom are better than any food critic. Leave a note, tell us what you think.
