25. Hamilton’s Urban Steakhouse and Bourbon Bar (2101 Chouteau Avenue, hamiltonsteak.com) “Hamilton's appears to be a hole in the wall until you step in and realize the place is HUGE with a relaxed, rustic charm. Excellent meal and well crafted drinks! I didn't have a photo of the bread but the bread and butter is warm and yummy before the meal! I also ordered a lemon drop with rum instead of vodka. The substitution was an additional charge (crazy) but whatever. My meal was 10s across the board!! Carrots had the sweet glaze in every bite, the potatoes alone were so creamy and flavorful but when you pair them with the juice of the steak? OMG. The steak was seasoned with love, cooked to a perfect medium and could have been cut with a butter knife! I was extremely satisfied with my meal. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.” - Money F. on Yelp
