About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
Since 1937, once nestled in the middle of cornfields stands the Smokehouse Market. An unpretentious structure, reminiscent of its days as the market for the surrounding Chesterfield area. The store now houses one of St. Louis's most celebrated restaurants, Annie Gunn's. Within its walls, Chef Lou Rook, III works his magic, creating irresistible cuisine with a sophisticated country life accent. In keeping with the concept of "Foods and wines inspired by the richness of country life", Chef Rook uses the best ingredients and the traditions that are most appropriate to them and imbues them with his own talented creative spin within the rhythm of the seasons. Annie Gunn's boasts an award-winning wine list as well.

    Food was fantastic and our server, Nick, was delightful. One of the few places in STL where you can get grouper (an off-menu item that is often available). Personally, I love the hog chop.

    Friday afternoon lunch was stellar. We were extremely well taken care of and amazing food. We enjoyed Oysters 3-ways and all were fresh and perfectly prepared. We shared the two soup specials that were flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The fish and chips were great with plenty to share between us. The wine was perfect....started with two Chardonnay's (one Chablis and one Napa) and then two Pinot's....great quality and a very nice pour of each. A wonderful experience as usual and cannot wait to go back!

    A very nice place to eat, ambience & service wise but if you order the grilled walleye special plan to go home still hungry. One tiny piece of fish and a little bit of rice for over 30 dollars is too expensive. Have been there many times but the lunch main course offerings are shrinking.
