The Rack House Kitchen Wine Whiskey

“On March 10th, our team from Progress Residential attended a company event at the WoodSpring Suites - St. Peters/O'Fallon location catered by the Rack House and we were tremendously impressed! The food was exceptional, and the presentation was spot on. We left talking about how great everything was. Ironically, just two days later—on March 12th—we were scheduled to host our own companywide virtual event, and our caterer canceled last minute. We were completely caught off guard and unsure how we’d recover with so little time left. We reached out to The Rack House, hopeful but not expecting a miracle… and they absolutely delivered! Not only did they step in with almost no notice, but the food was set up beautifully and tasted just as amazing as it did earlier in the week. Thanks to their team, our event went off without a hitch! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at The Rack House for your professionalism, responsiveness, and incredible food. We are beyond grateful and will be reaching out again for future events!!! Highly recommend!”

“First time dining in, and we will absolutely be back! The food and service were outstanding from start to finish. Our server, Marika, was efficient, friendly, and attentive—she checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. The drinks, appetizers, and entrées were all fabulous. We even had our 2-year-old with us, and the staff was wonderful and accommodating with her. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to return!”

“The food was amazing, the duck done perfectly and the Old Fashioned perfectly smoked, in particular our server Jordan was delightful. She made great recommendations and even came up with a drink given a list of ingredients that was spot on (shout out to the bartender too!)”

“We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at The Rack House Kitchen Wine Whiskey and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Living right nearby in the Cottleville Trails, it’s incredible to have a restaurant of this quality so close to home. A neighbor of mine, who also happens to be the owner of STL Bucket List, recommended the place highly, saying, “You won’t go wrong if you love cigars and quality bourbon.” He was absolutely right. We started with the Crab Stuffed Pretzels appetizer, which was nothing short of amazing perfectly seasoned, rich with flavor, and a great way to kick off the night. For dinner, my wife ordered the Steak & Fries while I had the Pork Porterhouse cooked medium well. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and full of fresh, high-quality flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into the ingredients and preparation. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our main waiter (Maven) was attentive and professional, and helped us select amazing meals! The bartender was spot-on with drink recommendations, even showing me their rotating monthly list of special last pours (some at nearly half the usual price). Later, in the cigar lounge, the server (Marika) went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. She even mentioned she wished she’d known it was my wife’s birthday so they could have surprised her with a slice of cake. That small gesture of thoughtfulness really stood out. The cigar lounge itself is a hidden gem. While smaller than some might expect, it’s stylish, intimate, and set up with a great man-cave vibe with cigar box walls, bourbon crates worked into the décor, and a staircase design that makes it feel unique. The couches were comfortable, the ventilation was solid, and the whole space encouraged conversation. We ended up meeting and chatting with some really great people while enjoying our cigars and drinks. The cigar selection was well curated top 10 to top 20 brands, priced very reasonably compared to what you’d find online. The staff makes it simple by asking you to note the number of the cigar you want, which they then add to your bill. Beyond cigars, the lounge also sells accessories like lighters, cutters, and even car ashtrays. I actually bought one on the spot. The owner had already left for the evening, but the waitress didn’t let that stop her; she messaged the owner directly, and he was incredibly quick and responsive, sending back the exact pricing for the ashtray. That level of attentiveness and communication really impressed me. Overall, this place delivers on every level: Fantastic food and drinks. A welcoming, well-run cigar lounge. Staff who go above and beyond even after hours. A clean, comfortable atmosphere perfect for both celebrations and casual nights out. It’s rare to have such a high-quality experience so close to home, and we left already planning our next visit. Highly recommended if you love great food, bourbon, and cigars in a relaxed yet classy setting.”

“We waited nearly 40 minutes before being acknowledged and ultimately had to flag someone down. The food was underwhelming at best: the arancini sauce was excessively peppery, and the mashed potatoes were served cold. The dining room felt chaotic and tense rather than relaxed. Service was minimal throughout the evening, and ordering drinks felt inconvenient. Despite the menu stating a 1 hour and 15 minute dining experience, we were there for over 3.5 hours. Unfortunately, the experience did not justify the $200 spent.”
