Stein House Cafe Booneville Mo

[rudkipon66]

Hello all!

 

I am planning a cruise down the Booneslick Rd. From St. Charles to Booneville, MO, which pretty much follows old 40. I was looking at eateries in Booneville and came across a couple and wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts:

 

1) The Stein House Cafe: Has anyone eaten/drank there? Was it pricey/reasonably priced?

 

2) The Hallway Club: Is it still around?

 

Please advise...thanks...Tsingtao Kip

Their signs are easy to find ( http://www.roadsidepeek.com/roadusa/midwes...verns/index.htm ) but I'm sure you knew that. A place with a neon beer stein out front and one claiming to have "the best tap beer", eh? I like the way you think. (Is this a personalized enticement?) For the Stein House, I found a menu from 1998 ( http://eagleinfo.com/SteinHouse03.htm ), when Portobello Ravioli was $5.99, and a rather uninformative blog entry about a visit on November 28 of '06 ( http://noroomthanks.blogspot.com/2006_11_26_archive.html ). Looks like they're still open and probably not too pricy although the six dollar ravioli is probably long gone. Less luck with the Hallway Club although BigBook does show a Klucks Hallway and Loft in Boonville. Coincidence?

 

In case you're thinking of this for Sunday, I did see a "Closed Sunday" on the Stein House menu. Of course, things might have changed in nine years. There is a contact link on that blog so you might be able to get some recent impressions from that.

 

I sure wouldn't walk a mile for a camel but drive 500 mile for a beer? I'm still thinking about it.

Good news & bad news. The good news is that with a different (presumably correct) spelling of Boonville, I got some hits on both. As for the Stein House, the good news continues with a very recent review and a better shot of the electric stein ( http://www.midmodiningguide.com/ ). The bad news involves the Hallway Club and a June of '06 fire but it sounds like it was already an ex-club when the fire hit ( http://www.kmiz.com/news/default.asp?StoryID=2716 ).

 

There is even a current menu for the Stein House ( http://www.midmodiningguide.com/businessdetails.cfm?id=447 ) although my browser wouldn't read the PDF directly and I had to save it locally first. The ravioli is indeed gone but for two bucks they'll put those portabellas in the $7 fettuccine.

I checked out the menu from the above site and note they don't list Stag, Kip's favorite beverage of choice. Don't know whether or not he'll be willing to visit a pub that doesn't offer Belleville's finest.

 

The cruise sounds better each day (even in lieu of Stag) and we're looking forward to it....Bliss
