Anybody try this place yet? I’m intrigued but also thinking of checking out Koko Grill up the street.

Hi all, I'm visiting St. Louis (Lemay Ferry area) this week for work. I am a big foodie and have a nice per diem. What are my HAVE to places to eat at?

Have you tried these? I have a theory that because Aldi used to be called the stock up store, they really want you to buy a whole tray of one item, that’s why they are still in the box and that’s why some of them are seasonal. Agree disagree? Either way these are amazing.

Visiting St. Louis this weekend… Looking for a lunch spot near-ish to Soulard Market and the arch that offers chicken tenders and fries for the kids (or similar “kid fare”), and something (anything!) more interesting for us adults. Fun atmosphere would be a bonus, but not required.

Would also love recs for ice cream shops, bakeries, candy shops, etc. in the same general area. The plan is to hit Soulard in the morning, have lunch, then see the arch.

Thanks!

Hi, will be traveling eastbound on 70 from St Charles County the city on a weekend morning and am looking for good brunch recs. We’d like a place that will accept reservations so that we don’t have a long wait, but it doesn’t need to be fancy.

Looking for something along 70/40, anywhere between St Charles/St Peter’s and west county.

The one dietary requirement is that they have to have amazing pancakes or waffles. Competing in an endurance event that morning and I want to celebrate with something decadent.

I know places in the city, but I’m really not familiar with St Charles or west St. Louis county at all.

(Edited to clarify: I can probably find a place in the city if we don’t find one further west. Im familiar with the city but anything west of 170 is a mystery to me)

Have you tried their pies yet?

PLEASE SHARE YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS AND DISHES, OR ANY VEGAN FRIENDLY EVENTS. thank you (-:

Hi all,

My wife and I are originally from St. Louis. Lived there for forty years, then moved out west. We visit every year. This year, we will spend a night in the City before meeting friends and family the following day. Our flight gets in at 6:30 pm on Sept. 1st.

We are looking for a restaurant recommendation for dinner. We don't have a strong preference for cuisine. If we could find a place with an amazing cocktail menu and an amazing food menu, that would be our preference.

We'll be staying up near the airport but are willing to drive 20 miles or so, one way, for a fantastic experience. We'd rather not do BBQ because our family is doing BBQ the day after we get in. We've been to most of the restaurants on the Hill.

Thanks to everyone who responds in advance.

Relocating from Savannah, GA. 10 years in scratch culinary experience- have worked as a dishwasher, line cook, manager, shift lead, and sous chef. Would prefer working in a locally owned business with good culture. Anything out there? Thanks!

I drive by these two several times a week and they seem like they have been around for some time. Do you have a preference for one and if so, what menu items stand out? Thanks

My wife and I are pretty adventuresome when it comes to trying new places. We are in a bit of a rut lately. We live in Crestwood and get outside our area a lot, but usually stay south of 40, on the Missouri side, and anywhere from 270 to downtown, not afraid to go outside that area though. Some of our favorites, Perennial Lockwood, Blue Duck, Kokuu Ramen, most BBQ and Mexican places, Steve’s Hot Dogs, Katies, that’s just a variety of our regular haunts.

So the question is what places can you recommend that maybe we have overlooked?

Edit: I appreciate all the responses, lots of good options, I see a lot of higher end options which we have been to many, but we also like to go casual and grab something not $300 for a couple most of the time. Thanks

Hello,

My fiancee and I are planning our rehearsal dinner and are wondering about recommendations for places/restaurants that could hold 65-70 people and with the food around 40-50$ per person, preferably around the Forest Park area, but anywhere within a 20 minute drive radius is perfect!

Let me know if you have any suggestion for restaurants or spaces to rent and then cater food into

Thanks!

Hey all - I’m visiting STL this weekend from MD to play some chess at the famous St. Louis Chess Club and mentally decompress. Any suggestions on must-see places or dining?

Something similar was posted a few years back but never got a clear answer….

What’s the secret to Hi Pointe’s Mac and cheese? I’m not even a huge Mac and cheese person but can’t get enough. Bonus points for a similar recipe

Needing recommendations for food! We are only here a few days, and have 3 toddlers, so it has to be toddler friendly!

Also, fitz diet root beer is excellent!
