Great Steak and Potato Company

85 South County Center Dr

St. Louis, MO 63129

Great Steak and Potato Company is in the food court in South County mall and they also have one in West County mall as well. They do not offer much to eat. They have a philly steak sandwich, chicken philly, gyros, baked potatoes, and fries. I have not eaten at this place in a while, but I remember it being very good.

I ordered the philly steak sandwich and was disappointed. Maybe because I compared it to Penn Station, and this sandwich is not even close to Penn Station's Philly steak sandwich. For the meat it looked like they used a thin cut of meat like a "Steak-um", and the bread was not that great. I could tell that Penn Station uses high quality ingredients, because The Great Steak Company's sandwich did not compare.

When you are at a food court in a mall it is all about choices. I don't think I will be choosing this place to eat next time I am in the food court. There was something new that I saw in the Food Court at South County Center, and it was called D. Bubs ballpark grill, or something like that. I didn't look that closely but I wonder if they charge ballpark prices?

Prices: $7 for a sandwich, fries and a drink

Arby’s—Multiple Locations

Arby's is a fast food restaurant that has really grown over the past five to seven years. They started out as a place to get a roast beef sandwich, hence the name "Arby's" (RBs). I don't think their roast beef sandwiches are near as good as Lions Choice's. Now Arby's has more to offer on their menu, like the market fresh sandwiches, which have really taken off. Arby's started making thier food with higher quality ingredients, and this is when they really started growing.

I went to Arby's wanting to get the pick 5 for $5.95 but I ended up getting one of their new toasted subs. This is a new item they have been advertising in the last month or so. I got the turkey club toasted sub, fries and a drink. The turkey club, had turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a grilled loaf of bread. This turkey club was o.k., I probably would not get it again if I were to go back. I should of ordered the "pick 5 for 5.95". This is a great deal. You have your choice of a roast beef sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich, cheese sticks, potato cakes, fries, a drink and a shake. You could make a meal for two for $5.95, I think that is a good deal.

Prices: Toasted turkey club, fries and a drink for $7.50

Fuddrucker's
10752 Sunset Plaza
St. Louis, MO 63127
Phone number: 314-966-3833
Or
12322 Dorsett Rd.
Maryland Heights, MO 63034
314-434-5565

There are two Fuddrucker's in the St. Louis area that I am aware of. One in South County in Sunset Hills and on in West County off of Dorsett. Fuddrucker's is known for hamburgers and toppings bar. On the inside of Fuddrucker's there are pictures of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis and more. Fuddrucker's is the type of place where you order your food at the counter, they cook the food and then call you name to pick it up from the counter. At Fuddrucker's you have your choice of many different varieties of burgers. You can order a from a 1/3 pound hamburger up to a one pound hamburger. Fuddrucker's also has chicken, fish and nachos. The great thing about the nachos is that they have hot cheese sauce in a container and you can put as much cheese on the nachos as you want. The self serve sauce and toppings are is the best thing about Fuddrucker's. You can get as much of the sauces as you need. They have ketchup, mustard, ranch, honey mustard, and my favorite is the hot cheese sauce. There is also a toppings bar with tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, lettuce and more. If you go to Fuddrucker's you have to put cheese on everything.

When I went to Fuddrucker's I ordered the Southwest hamburger. The Southwest burger comes with pepper jack cheese, guacamole, and bacon. The first thing I do when I grab my burger is walk over to where the cheese sauce is and pile it on. I also put ketchup and mustard on the burger. My burger was thick and juicy and it was made even better because I got to choose my toppings that went on the burger. I always make sure to get fries when I go, because I get a bunch of the free cheese sauce and make cheese fries.

Prices: About $10 for a 1/3 pound burger, fries and a drink.

Applebee's - Multiple Locations

It pains me to say this but I ate at Applebee's and they actually had something good. There are Applebees all over the St. Louis area, and I went to the one on Manchester. Applebee's is a generic chain restaurant bar and grill just like T.G.I. Friday and other places like that. Serve food that appeals to the regular American person. They serve burgers, chicken, and a bunch of other fried food and salads. Inside Applebee's there is a bar and tables all around the bar.

I can't believe Applebee's has something that I like. I used to call the place Crapplebee's. It just seemed like they didn't try to make good tasting food. I went to Applebee's with a partner at my firm for lunch and he convinced me to get the crispy orange chicken bowl. It is pretty expensive, around $9.50. The orange chicken bowl was good, and was filled with rice and vegetables. This was a big bowl and was more than enough for a lunch. I usually don't like going to Applebee's but I would go and eat the crispy orange chicken bowl.

Prices: About $9.50 for a crispy orange chicken bowl

Crazy Bowls and Wraps - Multiple Locations

Crazy Bowls and Wraps is an under rated place to eat in St. Louis, MO. CBW is a fast food restaurant and serves food that does not taste like it is a fast food restaurant. With a variety of wraps and bowls with chicken, rice and vegetables. Some favorites that Crazy Bowls and Wraps are the buffalo wrap, teriyaki chicken, and ceasar chicken wraps, just to name a few. Crazy Bowls and Wraps also has a variety of bowls with chicken, vegetables and rice. Crazy Bowls and Wraps also has a good vegetarian and vegan menu for the people who don't eat animal product. One of the best things about CBWs is that they have a salsa bar with a about five different sauces. They have pico de gallo, buffalo sauce, cilantro and jalapeno salsa, corn salsa, and a few others. I love when places let me choose how much sauce I want to put on my food. To wrap it up, at Crazy Bowls and Wraps, the food is fast, the food is fresh and they have a salsa bar with multiple different salsas.

At Crazy Bowls and Wraps I ordered the hot and spicy chicken bowl. This was grilled chicken, nappa, carrots, and onions seared in a jalapeno cilantro sauce and served over rice. This was very good and the best part was that the salsa bar has the jalapeno cilantro and I added more to spice it up a little. I ordered the small bowl and this was the perfect size for lunch. I should have gotten a bag of chips for and extra 50 cents. If I would have ordered chips I could have dipped them in different salsas from the salsa bar. This was one of the better lunches I have had in a while. Crazy Bowls and Wraps is a great spot to eat lunch and dinner. It is quick, good and well priced.

Prices: Hot and Spicy Chicken Bowl for $5.46 with tax

Bandana's Bar-B-Q - Multiple Locations

Bandana's is a Bar-B-Q place that makes their home in St. Louis, MO. Bandana's has quite a few locations, but I went to the one at the intersection of Lindbergh Blvd and Gravois. They try to make the inside of the place a more rustic setting so it gives that old western look. Bandana's is a very casual place and you could go in and have lunch or dinner, or call in an order and pick it up. Bandana's smokes all of their meats. On the menu they have beef, port, chicken, turkey, and more. They have lunch plates and dinner platters. With the lunch plate you get your choice of one type of meat and two sides. The dinner platter comes with a choice of two meats and two sides. Bandana's also had a variety of BBQ sandwiches if you were looking to go that direction.

I went to Bandana's Bar-B-Q for lunch and ordered the lunch plate and had pork as my meat, and my sides were fried corn, and potato salad. The fried corn was very good. It was corn on the cob that looked to be pan fried. The potato salad was nothing special, but it was still good. And the pork was very good. The pork was tender and juicy. Bandana's has a variety of bar-b-q sauces on the table for the meat and anything else you would like to dip. There is a flavor for everyone, because there are four different flavors: Sweet and Smokey, Hot, Original, and Spicy. The "Hot" BBQ sauce had some kick to it and was the best, in my opinion. Bandana's was overall good, but I think I make the best Bar-B-Q so no restaurant will ever be better than me at grillin.

Prices: About $6.95 for the lunch plate.

Buffalo Wild Wings - Find a Location

I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings in the South County Mall parking lot. It was a Friday night and the place was pretty packed, but we did not have to wait for a table. Inside Buffalo Wild Wings is a big open space with a bar area and bar tables for smoking and regular tables in the non-smoking section. There are televisions all over the place and they were tuned to all of the different sports channels. Buffalo Wild Wings is a great place to watch a game or many games at once. They also had the trivia game going. That is always an entertaining thing to do while drinking and waiting for the food to come out.

Buffalo Wild Wings has some good wraps. I ordered the chicken queso wrap. This was very good, but needed to be a little spicier, so I had the waiter bring me one of their 20 sauces that are available. They have a variety of mild and hot sauces to go with any item on the menu. The chicken queso wrap was good. I would order it again, but I would try something else next time. The beers were pretty expensive. A bottle of Bud Light was $3.25 The food was good, but the beer is too expensive for my kind of sports bar.

Prices: Chicken queso wrap - $6.95; Bud Light bottle - $3.25

The Bean House, La Casa Frijole
1100 Lemay Ferry Rd
St. Louis, MO 63125

The Bean House is a Mexican Restaurant at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Telegraph. From the outside of the building the place looked like it had a nice patio, but it was too cold to sit outside. The inside of The Bean House was not decked out, and didn't look like every other mexican restaurant that feels the need to put up that ugly fake Mexican decoration. This was a very straight forward place. The menu did not have the 50 combination dinners that other places have. It was very simple and the prices were very cheap.

I ordered the chicken chimichanga and two tacos. The chicken inside the chimichanga was outstanding. It was not covered in spices like other mexican restaurants, but it was shredded and very moist. The tacos were not anything special, but they were still good. If you go to this place order something with the shredded chicken. It is very good.

Downstairs in The Bean House, there is a little sports bar area. This is a cool little space with a bar, a few T.V.s and darts. We had a few beers down in the basement after dinner and it was a good time. The place was not that crowded and there were definitely places to sit, which is always nice.

Diablo McGee’s

7439 South Lindbergh
St. Louis, MO 63125
Phone Number - 314.892.1313


I have been to Diablo McGee's many times since it opened. Diablo McGee's offers a wide selection of Mexican food. They even offer traditional American food, and it is quite good.

I have ordered the Pollo Cancun, Philly Cheese Steak, Toquitos, Tacos and much more that is slipping my mind right now. If you go I would suggest ordering the Pollo Cancun. It is great. It is cheese covered chicken and shrimp over peppers and onions.

They have some good drink specials there as well. If you are looking for a great margarita, order the Irish Margarita. Very good.

This is a very good place to eat if you like mexican restaurants. I would suggest checking it out.
