Yes, FFS, I am on here inquiring about corn dogs and/or corn dog nuggets. My daughter is 3 and never had one - we recently read a book about them and now she wants to try one. I’ll be damned if I buy them from the freezer aisle (on principle and cuz I don’t want 6 of them!). So, where are some good spots to treat my gal to her first corn-wrapped dog? Much appreciated! (Don’t judge me #itsforthekids) 🌭 🌽 🤤
Hi All: I hope you don’t mind the intrusion but I didn’t see a recent recount of top STL restaurants (not fancy, though happy to hear those as well). I’m stuck in town til Sunday while my offspring plays a chess tournament, and food will be my savior. I’ll be at the Chase Park Plaza without a car, but happy to use rideshares if the food is worthy!! Many thanks in advance.
Traveling that way for work soon. Looking for comfort food oddities. Warm, cheesy wholesome but with a spin? Thanks so much😗😗
Just what the title says. Nothing fancy. Just a classic BLT. Thanks.
We have two (small) family events coming up. One at Streets of St. Charles (FunnyBone), the other being the AB Brewery lights. Where to eat before we go..
Hello, I am getting married in a couple months and for my bachelor party, all I want to do is go to a nice restaurant with some friends and then go back to mine and play games. I originally wanted to go to Louie, but they do not have the ability to reserve a table for 8 which is what I need. Any options that jump out to yall? The group is going to be mostly guys in our late 30s early 40s so we are not wanting a club vibe at all. A place with good food, good vibes, and the ability for us to chat and bond in fellowship. Thanks everyone!
Any decent restaurants down by Union Station that are open on a Monday? Going to a holiday activity at 4:30, hoping to get the fam fed immediately after. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Just like the title says, I'm looking for good places to eat and read by myself. I prefer a place where I don't have a server coming to my table. I don't know why, but that feels weird when I'm alone. So I guess I'm looking for good spots with counter service where I can chill with my book for a while. Thanks!
Anyone know what’s up with Mexican Barrel House in Creve Couer in the old Houlihans? It seems like it’s been under construction for AGES
Just tried the mac this evening at a Friendsgiving and I’m trying to figure out if the smoke flavor is from a smoked cheese or something else? I also noticed a bacon-y smokiness. Any ideas? The menu is not very descriptive.
My mom doesn’t like Thai, or Vietnamese or anything other than American or Italian or Mexican food and I promised her a post-appointment lunch in Clayton. What’s good? Thanks in advance.
Worth it? It’s well reviewed, and my wife really wants to go. Just looking for validations for my reservations, if you will. Thanks, fellow foodies!
Update: went and had a lovely experience! Crudo and veal dumplings started us off with a bang, only to be followed up by the fall Squash salad, lamb wellington and smoked duck rigatoni. Topped it off with the cannoli. I haven’t even mentioned the beignets 🤤 We loved it, will def give it another go after we try some others on our list! Thanks for all the recommendations and encouragement, well worth it!
I’m looking for a specific type of breakfast food around here… growing up in northeast Mississippi there were tons of hole in the wall breakfast joints or even gas stations that had the best bacon egg and cheese biscuits ever. Big homemade biscuit type stuff.
I’m searching for something like that anywhere around here… big cakey biscuits, fast, nothing fancy... and bonus points if they have a drive thru.
I know there’s plenty of hip breakfast spots around town, but I’m specifically looking for the lesser known spots.
Does that exist around here? Or is that just a relic of my past…
Excited TooGoodToGo is here. I tried Lal Qila, it was ok but for me the rice had too many sweet raisins and the meat was kinda too spicy but also bland. Ofc it's much cheaper than normal so it's still a great deal, although I would've liked to try their aushak or polani so not being able to choose is a downside (justified by the price).
Anyways, how have your experiences with TooGoodToGo been? Any good places? Is there a way to exclude Circle K from search? Particularly curious if people have tried any of the bubble tea places and what they've had.
Edit: tried Share Sweet, it was nice: a mango pudding and slice of cake, along with a bubble tea. Only complaint was some of the pearls sticking together. But they were friendly and quick, and good and cheap desserts. Kind of want to try their Belgian waffle now.
Their website still has Nomad menu, no mention that Nomad closed. I hate that restaurants rarely pay any attention to their websites. Like they launch it and then forget about it for decades. I rarely trust a restaurant website. So anyway, anyone know if byrd and barrel moved in yet?
I am looking for Trappista cheese. Are there any markets that sell it? It somewhat originates in Bosnia, so any Bosnian markets that might have specialty cheeses would be a great rec as well!
Totally recommend! It’s homemade on site and the family that runs it is soooo nice. The banana pudding flavor is my fave. Some table and chairs inside to sit plus a little kids table with some books. The shop itself is very clean and the owner always checks on us while we are enjoying her creations.
Hours are 4-9 Wed-Sun.
They have a couple non dairy flavors as well and they are made with a coconut base.
Vague, I know, but we’re looking for something totally new!
We love Thai food and ramen, and my partner isn’t a fan of Mexican. Aside from that, we’re just looking for some kickass food.
1 2 3 go!
I'm visiting my in-laws over Xmas looking for a restaurant recommendation. We always do one dinner out for the adults in the family which I'm in charge of as they don't generally eat out. We've been to Vicia, Louie, and Acero and Louie was probably the biggest hit of those. They live out west in St Charles County, so I try to factor distance into it as well. Was thinking Olive and Oak (if they have room still) or maybe Little Fox if I can convince them to drive 45 mins. Any others to look at? They're not really into Asian unfortunately, or much other 'ethnic' food aside from the basics.
Hi everyone! I am from the St. Louis area and have always lived here. I decided to compile a list of restaurants that my husband and I want to try (or have been to) that we've have heard many great things about around the St. Louis area.
I want to share my list and see if there are any places that you all love that you would add. To preface, my husband I don't like Indian or Mediterranean food so that is why it isn't on there.
Also a note - I know the categories may not be perfect, but I am trying not to end up with a million categories! Additionally, we live in the West County area, so bonus points if you know of some lovely places out that way!

Can anyone tell me about the beverage program at Pizza Champ in Maplewood? They have the Side Project Brewery right there, but my companions prefer something other than beer. Is there a wine list, and is it decent?
Thanks!
Does anyone know what happened?
Does anyone know anything about Celebrity Restaurant off of Bellefountaine Rd? We have relatives coming in from Houston looking for authentic soul food. Any ideas?
