Lion’s Choice 6106 South Lindbergh Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63123 This might be one of the most underrated places to eat in St. Louis. Lions Choice has the best roast beef sandwich. I suggest getting the roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese. Get the roast beef, and get the au jus to go with it. Most of the Lion’s Choices have crushed ice. |

Pasta Plus 123 Concord Plaza St. Louis, MO 63128 This is a casual Italian place that serves all of the Italian favorites. They serve all of the usual favorites like, spaghetti, fettuccini and pizza. At this place you order at the counter and they bring your food to you when it is ready. Prices are reasonable, and they bring the food out fairly quick. I had the baked mostaccioli and it cost about $6.50. The mostaccioli came with a slice of provolone cheese baked on top. I would eat at this place again, but I would try the pizza next time. |

O’Leary’s Restaurant 3828 S. Lindbergh Blvd St. Louis, MO 63127 O’Leary’s is up and running after it was damaged by a fire. The newly renovated inside gives it a much more open feel. This is a bar type atmosphere, but have a good variety on the menu. The food is very good. We got the lunch special and a Italian beef sandwich. The Irish stew that came with the lunch special was the best thing we had. It had beef, carrots, potatoes, and Guinness beer. The Italian beef was a pretty big sandwich and was better than I expected. Prices are around $7-9 for a sandwich and fries. I recommend eating at O’Leary’s |

Kenrick’s Meat Market and Catering
Kenrick’s Meat Market and Catering is a small little market on Bayless or Weber road close to I-55 in South St. Louis County. It looks like they specialize in meats and small groceries. We went there for lunch and they have a little deli and sandwich stand with about 8 tables to sit and eat. The menu is loaded with different sandwiches like the special, loaded roast beef, chicken and bacon sandwiches, hot sandwiches. They have some good looking sides as well like baked macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy.
I ordered the country fried steak sandwich. This was a country fried steak with white gravy on a hoagie roll. This thing was delicious. For a side order I got the mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were ok, but the country fried steak sandwich was great. I definitely recommend going there for lunch and ordering one of there sandwiches. You have to get there early though, because this place gets a little crowded. This is a must eat lunch spot for me. What made it even better is the prices. My sandwich only cost me $4.89 where else can you get a great tasting HOT sandwich for this price. Next time I go, I am going to get a ribeye steak sandwich, which they have on the menu for a low $5.89. Is there anywhere else you can get a steak sandwich for that cheap? Visit their website at www.kenricks.com
Prices: Cheap. $6.25 for a country fried steak sandwich and some mashed potatoes. |

Jimmy John’s—Multiple Locations
Jimmy John’s is a sub sandwich shop that is fairly new to the St. Louis area. On the inside of the Jimmy John’s there are signs that try to be funny. Jimmy John’s claims to make subs “so fast you will freak.” It is not hard to make subs that fast when you have no options on what goes on the sub. I used to like Jimmy John’s when they first came to St. Louis, but then I thought why am I eating this when I could be eating Penn Station or the countless number of other sandwich shops which serve both hot and cold sandwiches. You can’t compare a Jimmy John’s to a Penn Station, Penn Station is 10 times better. I guess my problem with Jimmy John’s is that I got sick of their food. It doesn’t sound good to me anymore.
Jimmy John’s does have good bread. That is one thing that is good about them. They also have a variety of sandwiches, but it is basically a choice between cold turkey, roast beef, ham, or salami, and if I wanted one of those sandwiches I could find 10 other places I would rather get one. Their meats are average and the toppings are the usual lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. When I go I get the Bootlegger Club. This is a turkey and roast beef sandwich, but it doesn’t come with cheese, what a rip-off. I have to ask for cheese and it cost extra.
Prices: About $6.25 for a sandwich |

The Pasta House Company - Multiple Locations -Find a Location
The Pasta House Company is a St. Louis favorite for many people. The Pasta House is a casual dining spot that has locations all over the St. Louis area. The Pasta House serves Italian food. They have great salad, which has their famous dressing, artichokes and covered in parmesan cheese. They have many varieties of pasta and other Italian dishes. The Pasta House is not the best pasta I have ever had but it is pretty good for the price.
I went to The Pasta House restaurant for lunch the other day and ordered the Rigatoni Roma, which is rigatoni pasta served with a meat sauce, peas, prosciutto, and topped with a cream sauce. It is my favorite thing to order from the Pasta House. With the lunch special a salad also came with the rigatoni roma. One complaint that I have about the Pasta House is they never give me enough bread. I always have to ask for more. They should put a basket of bread on the table and let me eat as many pieces as I want. It feels like I have to ration my bread. I don’t like to ration my food.
Prices: Rigatoni Roma lunch special with a salad is about $8 |

Imo’s Pizza—Multiple Locations, Find Locations Imo’s Pizza is, and has been a St. Louis favorite for a long time. They have other good food as well. They have sandwiches, pasta, and salads. They are a pizza place that serves Italian food. Get the pizza at Imo’s, it is covered in whatever toppings you want and provolone cheese. The provolone makes the pizza great. The salads at Imo’s are not that good. It seems like they use bag lettuce and pile the on the cheese. The house salad dressing is not he best Italian dressing I have had either. It is a sweet Italian , and I don't like sweet stuff on my salad.
Get the Pizza when you go to Imo’s that is the only thing worth getting, but it is one of the best pizzas in St. Louis |

Hardee’s—Multiple Locations It has been a while since I went to Hardee's and I was short on time, so I went. I have heard so much about their "thick burgers" and how they were supposed to be so good.
Hardee's is claiming to have the best burger in town, period. This advertising may work on others, because whoever is saying that Hardee's has the best burger is dead wrong. They don't even have the best burger in the fast food industry. I would much rather eat a Culver's, or White Castle burger instead of Hardee's. I ordered the sourdough thickburger. The burger seemed like an ordinary burger to me. Hardee's offers nothing different than any other fast food joint. It had the pale brown look of the every fast food burger that I have eaten, with the exception of a few quality places.
I went into Hardee's at about 5:15 p.m. The place had three people inside eating. I don't know how this place stays open. Hardee's better think of something that distinguishes them from the other fast food places or I don't see how they can stay in business much longer. Almost all of the Wendys' closed in St. Louis, and I can see Hardee's doing the same thing.
Prices: $5.47 for a sourdough thickburger and a drink |

Klippers Pub and Grill 189 Concord Plaza Shopping Center St. Louis, MO 63128 Phone: 314-842-9400
Klipper’s is the new restaurant where Tsevis’ used to be. They might as well call it Tsevis’ because it is the same menu and same look. The food was still unimpressive. I was never impressed by Tsevis’ when that was there so I am still unimpressed by Klipper’s. I though I would walk in and I would get a whole different feel from the place. I thought they would redo the menu into something more American, and make it into more of a sports bar. But they didn’t, and left the same dark wood paneling up.
First lets start with the bar. We went here looking to have dinner and then stick around at the bar for some drinks also. We ordered drinks with dinner and saw that they were $3.25 for a beer, and decided that after dinner we would go somewhere else that was cheaper, because we were in South County and there is no way a beer should cost $3.25 at a bar like this in South County. I don’t know who they think they are, but people are not going to pay a premium on beer to sit in a place like that.
I ordered the Philly style cheese steak and we also ordered the Salmon BLT wrap. It took forever. I did not think it would take that long for some simple items on the menu, considering only half of the dining room was full, if that. I added the salad onto my dinner for $1.99 and when it came out they also had bread come out with it. In the bread basket was a half eaten little container of butter. This was kind of disgusting, because after seeing that they probably use the same bread on multiple tables, if it doesn’t get eaten. When the food finally did come we were not impressed. It was not that good, I could tell they cut corners on quality. The BLT Salmon Wrap was much better than the Philly, but still not as good as it could have been.
Prices: $30 for two sandwich plates, three drinks and a salad. |
