The RiverBend Growth Association has named Bakers & Hale as its Small Business of the Month for February 2021.
Established in 2018 by co-owner and executive chef, Kelsi Baker Walden, and consulting chef Rex Hale, the farm-to-table restaurant is a place where you can enjoy American cuisine with comfort food flair and stick around for a drink afterwards.
Kelsi commented, “I grew up on a farm where my grandfather raised beef and my grandmother always had a bountiful garden and cooked fresh meals every day. I discovered my love of cooking while watching grandmother cook and learned to work hard for what I wanted through my parents.”
This upbringing has taken Baker Walden from culinary school to such St. Louis establishments as Charlie Gitto’s on the Hill, Harrah’s, McCormick & Schmick’s, 360, The Restaurant, Basso, The Market, Boundary, and finally to her own establishment, Bakers & Hale.
Bakers & Hale is located at 7120 Montclair Ave in Godfrey, IL. They are open for delivery (within a 5-mile radius), curbside, and carryout or dine in service from 11:00 am. to 8:00 pm., every day except Tuesday, when they are closed. The indoor and outdoor bars serve for an additional hour until 9:00 pm. Kelsi asks that parties of 8 or more call ahead for a reservation or visit their website-www.bakershale.com/menu/. Then call in your order for pickup, delivery or reservation to 618-433-9748.
Bakers & Hale offers $10 lunch deals daily as well as entrée specials in the evening. You may also enjoy open-mic night on Thursdays, and Fridays and Saturdays enjoy live music in their heated patio.
