4 Hands Kirkwood

Food was cold...French fries and pulled pork. Husband's burger was good b/c it had to be made fresh. I think mine would have been good if warm. But no server, only food runner, no one asks how your meal is or checks on you. Service is minimal. Margarita was not good either. Won't be back. Too bad.

Cool space and a really nice-looking patio (there was snow, so we stayed inside). They let my German Shepherd come hang and brought him lots of treats. The beer is pretty decent, but the staff is awesome.

We went for "Cocktails and Claws" today. My drink and lobster roll were both good. My wife's themed grinch drink was supposed to come with green cotton candy and her salad was supposed to include avocado but both were missing. They dont have servers--only food/drink runners--and you order for yourself online so no one comes to check on you to maybe correct things. Prices were high considering that lack of service and not providing items as the menu describes; tip choices at checkout including 20, 22, and 25% didn't sit well considering they don't provide full service. Anyway I've been here before during warmer months and enjoyed the patio; maybe it's best to only come for beer.

This is the best patio. Absolutely love the vibe. If seating is full, you could grab a blanket and sit in the grass if you wanted to.

I liked it! First off, there are a few things that are different here. First off, it is open seating and when we arrived, it was hard to find a table, but we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. You then have two options to order drinks and/or food. The first is either you stand in the food line and get your food and then the drink line to get your drinks. Or, you scan the QR codes on the table and order your stuff (either food or drinks) to be delivered to the table. We had them deliver the items to us to the table and it was super-fast and way better than standing in line. We sat inside the building next to the bar and it was SUPER LOUD as there isn't any sound-dampening in this space and we could barely hear the people at our own table (thus, the 4-star rating). Once the evening cooled and they opened the glass walls, the sound got better. The food is GREAT! We got lobster rolls and oyster po-boys ... wonderful. The beers and cocktails are great. It is right next to the train tracks and a train passed the bar as we were eating. Lovely. A lot of people are waiting around for the open seating, so it obviously depends on when you arrive. Parking is somewhat limited in the area, so you may have to walk a few blocks.
