My husband and I went at 11:30 on a Saturday. The line was out the door. Thankfully a table for two opened up quickly and we were seated almost immediately despite the line. Be aware, there are only about 6-8 tables for 2 and 5-6 tables for four in the entire restaurant so if you get there during lunch on... More

Make the best ice cream especially black walnut; cannot miss bacon sandwich or egg salad. Be prepared; there will be a line to wait.

I mean literally to die for! Piled higher with bacon than any sandwich you will ever see! Chocolate malts made like they used to be. Great place.

I visited Crown Candy a few weeks ago, and was very happy I did. It's easy to find, and looks like the neighborhood is trying to revitalize itself, so for those that say its "scary", I'd say no. We arrived, and fortunately for us, a table was open. After reading all the great comments about the BLT, I just had... More

Chocolate monkey for Easter. It is a ST.Louis tradition. They were featured on the Travel Channel. The BLT is the best BLT in town.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in St. Louis. The food is incredible and you get a lot for your money. Make sure you have some time to spare or come in the middle of the afternoon, because lunch and dinner waits can exceed an hour easily

This little hole in the wall that's been around forever gets a LOT of west county traffice on the week-ends. People stand in line to vie for the few quaint little booths inside.
