StackHouse — Where Everybody Knows Your Name By Mary Shapiro

Like the famous Cheers bar from the TV series, StackHouse Pub & Grill in Chesterfield is truly a place where everybody knows your name.

“We have a slogan — ‘Turning FirstTimers Into Regulars Since 2016,’” said restaurant owner Todd Myers. “We’re not just a regulars’ bar — we want to break the mold and focus on every person walking through the door. We treat everyone the same, whether they’re a first-timer or if they come in five days a week.” StackHouse was born out of the former Miller’s Crossing restaurant, then at 14156 Olive Blvd. in Chesterfield’s Hog Hollow neighborhood, Myers said. “Miller’s Crossing — where I was a regular, having worked in Creve Coeur and gone there for years to hang out, and where I knew a lot of the other regulars — went out of business in 2016. I bought the remnants of that business and opened it as StackHouse in June of 2016,” Myers said. “We took over the location and created a new menu. So, we already had a regular following when we started — it wasn’t like starting fresh.” The clientele is very local, he said. “Customers are mostly neighborhood folks, from a three- to five-mile radius, but we also get people from the St. Charles area, Ladue, Creve Coeur (we’re on the border with Creve Coeur), Maryland Heights and Town & Country,” Myers said. Normally his staff numbers about 30, and many have been with the restaurant since its opening. Myers, who previously worked in the restaurant industry and says this is his first endeavor as an owner, calls StackHouse “an American pub style restaurant, though we’re varied — we offer barbecue, burgers, sandwiches, steak, pasta, fried chicken on Sundays, and even do breakfast on the weekends.” “I’m very impressed with Chesterfield as a community,” he said. “They are very supportive of the little guy.” “We do a lot of benefits with local organizations such as Incarnate Word Catholic Church and Green Trails Elementary School.” StackHouse offers carryout, curbside and delivery. Dinner specials include a $5 cheeseburger on Mondays, a $12.95 hand-cut filet steak dinner on Tuesdays, happy hour specials from 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day on Wednesdays, and a $15.95 fried chicken special on Sundays. A trivia night is held at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. Every Thursday is $1 beer night. A popular lunch item is a grown-up grilled cheese sandwich which features pulled pork, multiple layers of cheese, and barbecue sauce. “Pork wings are very popular as are our smoked chicken wings — a top seller,” Myers said.

Popular dinner items include barbecue platters, such as smoked turkey, pulled pork or brisket. StackHouse has 16 draft beer taps. “We focus a lot on local beers, and we have over 100 whiskey and Scotch selections,” Myers added.

“We have over 60 bottled and canned beer selections. We have 14 high definition/4K big screen TVs 65 inches or greater for sports games. We have outdoor seating that also has a TV. During the summer, we’ll offer outdoor patio games like cornhole or Jenga. We do live music on Saturdays. And we also have plans to add a larger patio area once we return to normal business outside of COVID.” His favorite part of the business is the people. “It’s what I really enjoy,” Myers said.
