The Missouri Athletic Club is bringing back one of its signature dining spaces this week. The Stan Musial Grille, located at Missouri Athletic Club West in Town and Country, Missouri, reopens on Friday, August 7, with full lunch and dinner service.
The restaurant is named after St. Louis Cardinals legend Stan “The Man” Musial, and the refreshed space is designed to honor his connection to both the club and the city. Club officials say the goal is to give members a comfortable setting to gather with family and friends, share meals, and mark special occasions while enjoying dishes prepared by the West location’s culinary team.
What Members Can Expect
Lunch service begins at 11 a.m. on opening day, and the Grille will stay open straight through dinner, giving members a full day of access rather than the split hours some club dining rooms use.
The reopening follows a period of renovation work at the West location, though the club has not detailed the full scope of the changes beyond describing the atmosphere as refreshed.
Members interested in dining at the Grille are being asked to make reservations through the MAC mobile app rather than calling ahead or walking in, a shift that reflects how many private clubs have moved toward app-based booking systems in recent years.
Early Reaction From Members
Word of the reopening spread quickly on the club’s Facebook page, where members left comments welcoming the news. Several praised the club’s staff for the turnaround, with one commenter writing that the space “looks awesome” and crediting the team’s effort.
Another simply offered a short greeting to the club, a sign of the informal, familiar tone many longtime members take with MAC’s social media presence.
Not every comment was purely celebratory. At least one member raised a practical question about whether the lunch buffet, a popular fixture at the club, would still be part of the offering going forward. The same commenter added that they wished a similar buffet option existed at the club’s Clayton location, suggesting demand for that format extends beyond the West campus.
The Missouri Athletic Club operates multiple locations in the St. Louis area, each offering members a mix of dining, fitness, and social programming. The reopening of the Stan Musial Grille adds another dining option back into rotation at the West club as it moves into the fall season.
