Casual Date Night in STL?
It is hard to find a place more casual than Iron Barley, and it is hard to find a place with better food than Iron Barley.
St. Louis: Breakfast on Laclede's Landing
Are there any restaurants on Laclede's Landing that serve breakfast? Or maybe an early lunch?
I am looking to gather some friends together around 9:45 AM on a Saturday morning. I will then be leading them on a walking tour of the Landing, admiring the architecture.
St. Louis: has anyone been to Al's (north of Laclede's Landing)
Most of the online reviews I can find are years old. Of course, it seems that Al's appeal is based on the fact that it hasn't changed in years. If you have been to Al's recently, do you recommend it?
Tripe Sandwich in St. Louis?
There is a big sign on the side of JoJo's House Of Ribs that says "TRIPE SANDWICH OR COMBO". They are located cattycorner from Proctor and Gamble in the Near North Riverfront: 182 East Grand Blvd. (I am guessing that this is the former legendary Shrimp Shack.)

Lousy Experience at Home Wine Kitchen, St. Louis
Had a very nice lunch with very nice service at HWK last week
Please help! Going to St. Louis Fri - Mon next week.
Since you are renting a car on the Saturday, I am suggesting Crown Candy Kitchen for lunch (an ice cream parlor unchanged since 1917) and Iron Barley for dinner (note that the place has not spent one penny on decor, their total focus is on the food).
Your Hitlon has a pleasant restaurant in the lobby called 400 Olive. Walk north on Broadway and you come to a nice place called Tigin's Irish Pub at the corner of Washington. If you turn left on Washington and keep walking, you will be overwhelmed with eating choices. I suggest Mango Peruvian.
St. Louis Recommendations - Washington Univ
I suggest a gift certificate to Coco Louco Brasil in the Central West End. 512 N Euclid Ave · Saint Louis · (314) 367-1600. They have a fabulous Sunday brunch, including both familiar brunch items and Brasilian brunch items. The Brasilian equivalent of tres leches cake is not to be missed.
Why Yelp Sucks!
I find Yelp very helpful. Best part: an establishment can respond directly to a review, making it truly democratic.
One amazing lunch in St. Louis - Help?
If you are visiting the Arch, you will probably be parking in the parking garage to the north of the Arch. The garage entrance is on Washington Avenue. Just a short walk up Washington is Tigin's Irish Pub, where you will get a nice lunch that will fit your mother's budget.
Need Recs near Westport Plaza/Maryland Heights
Raj's Rasoi has the most flavorful Indian food I have ever eaten. It is good food served in a non-descript room in a non-descript strip mall in a non-descript area of Maryland Heights. Definitely worth finding. (NOTE: it is vegetarian). http://rajs-rasoi.com/
What's new, St. Louis?
Since you mentioned India Palace (the tornado hit the one-story industrial building next door, but did not damage the high rise hotel that contains the India Palace).
I prefer Raj's Rasoi in Maryland Heights. No decor to speak of, but very flavorful food. Everything is vegetarian.
Meglio's-- St Louis/Bridgeton
Had lunch at Meglio's today. Very very satisfied.
Excellent tomato basil soup. A hearty fettucine alfredo. Both for 8 bucks.
Some interesting items on the dinner menu, including a white pizza, which I have only seen on menus in Albany, New York.
St. Louis first timer- Recs Please
If Utah does not have Bedouin restaurants, try Al Waha.
If Utah does not have Bosnian restaurants, try Grbic.
If Utah does not have adult soda fountains, try The Fountain On Locust
If Utah does not have izakayas, try Izakaya Ren
St Louis restaurant reminiscent of the year 1931
I want to take someone out for her 80th birthday, which means she was born in 1931.
What restaurants do we have in St. Louis that will remind her of her childhood?
Crown Candy Kitchen, of course. Any other suggestions?
St Louis Dining for a Group
In the Central West End is a wonderful Brazilian restaurant called Coco Louco Brasil. The lunch menu is in the low end of your price range, and the dinner menu is in the high end. Vegetarians have a number of options.
Their website does not talk about their brunch, but it is delightful.
St Louis for a week
Your hotel is on Jefferson, and it is a short drive south to our Nicaraguan restaurant: Fritanga.
A few more blocks to Kakao artesinal chocolates
Your theater is in Grand Center. Just a few blocks east is The Fountain On Locust. Your kids may get a kick out of the decor. You have to be 21 and over to order some of their ice cream drinks, however...
Best spots downtown St. Louis for lunch?
I have never been disappointed by lunch at 400 Olive.
Likewise, Clark Street Grill and Anthony's Bar.
St. Louis: need to know best thin-crust pizza - by Sat NOV 06, please

Breakfast in Palmyra MO
I actually ate at Parsons Cafe in New London - very basic, breakfast was OK.
I did a quick spin through Palmyra, and it looked like the Saturday morning breakfast hotspot was the Palmyra Family Cafe, across the street from the Courthouse.
Breakfast in Palmyra MO
I will be in Palmyra on Saturday SEP 25, and I am looking for a place to eat breakfast. I am looking for a classic country cafe, where Mom runs the cash register and Pop runs the griddle...
Dinner recommendations for Rolla, MO area?
Rolla: Alex's House Of Pizza. very tasty.
LA Chowhound Needs Help in STL
One of my favorite downtown restaurants is across the street from Busch Stadium: the Clark Street Grill in the Westin Hotel. The hotel is in a renovated historic building. www.clarkstreetgrill.com
And since you are staying in Richmond Heights, you have a short drive to one of my favorite non-downtown restaurants: Harvest. http://www.harveststlouis.com/
St Louis Downtown Restaurant Week: AUG 23 - 29
Reminder that Downtown Restaurant Week is Mondy AUG 23 to Sunday AUG 29.
There are twenty-eight restaurants participating this year, which I think is more than last year.
Website is www.downtownrestaurantweek.net
St Louis
If you like sushi, go no further than the lobby of the Ritz. They make sushi while bands play in the lobby.
Good sushi also available at Miso On Meramec. It's in Clayton, you can walk from the Ritz.
And the only place I have ever had Cambodian food is the House of Wong; also in Clayton.
There are tons of restaurants in Clayton.
Great Plains Food Trucks?
I suggest you mention what interstates you will be on, and then people can pinpoint restaurants for you.
I live in St. Louis. Food Trucks are a new idea here...
Best Pizza in St. Louis – WITHIN Parameters
You mention that you hate provel. If you like fontina, you will like Peel in Edwardsville.
Lunch on the Hill in St. Louis
I really like Guido's Pizza And Tapas. They have been serving Spanish tapas here for decades, long before tapas became trendy. I have heard good things about their pizza.
Must Have Eats in St. Louis
An easy drive north from downtown is the Crown Candy Kitchen. I would do a malt - they push adding a banana to the malt, but I would skip the banana. To go with the malt, an egg salad sandwich if you are a vegetarian and a BLT if you are not.
An easy drive south from downtown is Iron Barley. Try a Monte Cristo, as featured on Man Vs. Food.
