McAlister’s Deli

McAlister's Deli has three locations around St. Louis. Find one.

McAlister's Deli is a big place. It is where the Walgreen's used to be on Manchester and 270. We went at about 11:30 and there was a pretty long line by 11:45. This is the type of place where you order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. McAlister's Deli has a huge selection of sandwiches, salads and potatoes. They have turkey, chicken, roast beef, ham, and a combination of those as well.

I ordered the turkey melt club. It was a hot turkey sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The turkey was very good. I could taste the smokiness in the turkey. I also got mashed potatoes as my side order. This is refreshing seeing delis serve something other than a bag of chips for a side order. I hate chips as a side order, a bag of chips should never be a side for any meal. These sandwiches are very good at McAlister's. You can tell that they use good ingredients.

Prices: About $8 for a sandwich, side order, and a drink

This list is in alphabetical order.

Quizno’s—Multiple Locations

Quizno’s is a sandwich, subshop that specializes in toasted subs. They have a variety of toasted subs, soups and salads. They have chicken, turkey, roastbeef, and ham sandwiches. I got the Turkey, Bacon, Guacamole sandwich. This sandwich has turkey and bacon that is sent through the toaster. After the toaster Quizno’s adds the veggies of your choice. Prices are around $5 for a small sandwich, $7 for a medium and around $8.50 for a large sandwich. I like to have a sandwich from here every once in a while, but I could not eat this place every day.

Syberg’s Bar and Grill

Syberg’s has multiple restaurants and bars throuhgout the St. Louis area. Find one.

Syberg’s is a classic St. Louis establishment. They are famous for their chicken wings and wing sauce. They also have the famous shark chunks that are served at Syberg’s. I have never had them but I hear they are good. I have been to two Syberg’s. I have been to the one on Gravois in Affton, and the one by Westport. Both locations have the bar atmosphere. During the day Syberg’s is a nice restaurant and grill. And at night Syberg’s becomes a place where people gather to drink. At the Westport location on weekend nights there is live entertainment and the bar is packed with people. But at the Gravois location they play loud music over the speakers and the bar gets pretty packed with people. At the Gravois location they have a nice outside patio.

I ate lunch at the Gravois location. I got there at about 11:50 and there were plenty of places to sit. The menu at Syberg’s is huge. It has a ton of stuff on it. You have your choice between a ton of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and more. I ordered the cajun chicken philly sandwich. This was a grilled chicken breast covered in cajun spices, peppers and onions. This was a very good sandwich. The spices on the chicken gave it a different taste, it was good. The sandwich also came with a side order of fries or home made chips. I ordered the chip and they were good as well.

Prices: $10.05 for a chicken philly, home made chips, and a drink

Moe’s Mexican Grill—Multiple Locations

Moe’s Mexican Grill is just like Q’doba or Chipotle, except Moe’s has a salsa bar and they give you chips for free. If Q’doba or Chipotle were to do these things then I would like them all the same. But I can pick my salsa and I get chips I like Moe’s better.

Similar to Q’doba or Chipotle, at Moe’s you pick the stuff you want or don’t want on your burrito, tacos, or nachos as you walk down the line. The only Moe’s that I know of around here is the one off Olive. It is packed at lunch time. I get what they call the “Home wrecker” It has your choice of meat, beans, rice, sour cream, and salsa. I usually add queso cheese on it as well. This burrito is so good, you better be hungry, because it is huge.

Prices: At Moe’s you will pay about $8.50 for a burrito, and a drink.

Taco Bell

Taco Bell has many locations throughout the St. Louis area.

Taco Bell is the most well know Mexican fast food restaurant. Although it is the most well know that does not make it the best. Del Taco is better than Taco Bell. The problem with Del Taco in the St. Louis are is that they have the wrong people running the stores and the inside of the stores are disgusting. Unlike the disgustingness of Dell Taco, Taco Bell keeps many of their stores clean, or at least cleaner than Del Taco.

Taco Bell serves all of the well know favorites from tacos to burritos. There are always so many choices when eating at Taco Bell. The items that I usually order are the nacho supreme and the soft taco supreme. I have not ordered the cheesy gordita crunch in a while but that is also one of my favorites. While Taco Bell is a fast food chain it is still good to eat every once in a while. They have very good melted cheese

Roly Poly - Find a Location

Roly Poly is a sandwich shop that specializes in wraps. They have a ton of different wraps to choose from. If you can imagine it then they can put it in a wrap for you. Roly Poly is a place similar to a fast food joint. Items are ordered at the counter and then the food is made and you pick up the food at the counter. The different variety of sandwiches consist of turkey, chicken, roast beef, ham, tuna and more. From each meat selection there are about 10 different varieties of sandwiches. There is also the option to roll your own. This allows you to pick any combination of meat, toppings and dressings. The wraps come hot or cold.

I went to the Roly Poly in St. Peters. This is a small little place with about 5 tables. I ordered the Chipotle Cheese Steak, which is described as sliced grilled sirloin steak, melted cheddar and jalapeno cheeses, tomatoes, onions, ranch dressing, grilled and served with a side of salsa. This was very good and very cheesy. I would definitely order this again.

Prices: About $5.50 for a Chipotle Cheese Steak wrap.

Subway - Multiple Locations

Subway has become an American institution. They continue to develop more sandwiches and a wide variety of sandwiches. It is hard not to find a Subway anywhere in St. Louis, they are all over the place. Subway keeps it simple. They make sandwiches how much more simple can it get. Subway has something for everyone. With turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, steak, etc., everyone can find something they like at Subway. Subway is fast, good, and a pretty good price. Many places have tried to duplicate Subways success by making sandwiches, but Subway is still dominant.

When I went to Subway the other day I ordered a turkey and roast beef sandwich. They really need to work on the toasters at Subway, because It doesn't really toast a good sandwich. It is like a microwave that stales the bread. I thought they would have found something better than this by now. But, the sandwiches are still very good. I get a six inch and put the toppings and a few sauces and I am good to go. Prices are good, food is good, and Subway is usually very fast, even when there is a long line.
