Restaurant Recommendations Around St Louis
St Louis has many wonderful restaurants. Below are some of our recommendations if you don't mind a little driving.
Rosalita’s Cantina -Des Peres $$
Large Mexican menu
12796 Manchester Rd
Des Peres, MO 63131
Rosalita’s offers a full menu of both food and drinks. Try our signature table-side guacamole made right in front of you or a piled high nachos. We have a full array of classic Mexican dishes and more modern specialties, including our Cadillac Fajitas! The house margaritas are the best in town, and the specialty margaritas will have you coming back time and time again.
Webmaster opinion: Good Mexican food, large menu, great patio, easy location right off the highway. Large parking lot.
Several locations, we suggest the one in St Charles:
1520 South Fifth
St. Charles, MO 63303
Webmaster opinion: Favorite pizza but not a large menu other than pizza and salads. Not thick crust, not thin crust, kind of in-between. Salads are excellent also. Good parking.
Napoli 2 $$$
American Italian with full menu of steaks, seafood, etc.
1054 Town and Country Crossing
Town and Country, MO 63017
Accept reservations
Webmaster opinion: excellent Italian dishes, good parking
Casual Italian: pizza, pasta and salads
10419 Clayton Road
Frontenac, MO 63131
Webmaster opinion: Love the Chicken Spiedini and Spaghetti Pomodoro. Good parking. Across from the upscale shopping mall (Neiman Marcus and Sax Fifth Ave) if you want to combine your drive with shopping.
Traditional high-end steak house
535 South Lindbergh Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63131
GREAT STEAKS × WORLD FAMOUS PRIME RIB × FRESH SEAFOOD, A LOCALLY OWNED AND FAMILY RUN STEAK RESTAURANT
Accept reservations
Webmaster opinion: My favorite steak in St. Louis. Very traditional old style place with lots of dark wood and white tablecloths. Everything is “a la carte”. I stick with the smaller filet, but for the large appetizer they have a huge prime rib option. Small parking lot but there are some adjacent to the restaurant. Upscale neighborhood.
10701 Watson Rd
St. Louis, MO 63127
Another good steakhouse, little further but right off the highway
Accept reservations
Webmaster opinion: My second favorite steak in town. Excellent beef brisket toasted ravioli appetizer. It’s a hopping place, so make a reservation. Fairly new restaurant (since 2016), locally owned. Don’t let the fact that it is attached to a Holiday Inn deter you. Good parking.
Less expensive, very casual, traditional steak house
Tucker's Place West: 14282 Manchester Rd.
(1 Block East of Hwy 141)
3 locations, closest to hotel is on Manchester Rd, but if you are heading downtown to see the Arch, the original Tucker’s location is just outside of downtown
“For over 30 years Tucker's has consistently prepared top quality American cuisine and steaks cut fresh daily. Delicious food, a relaxed, cozy atmosphere, terrific service and reasonable prices makes Tucker's what it is today... an excellent dining experience in St. Louis!”
Webmaster opinion: Good, reasonably priced food. A St. Louis tradition.
Tony’s $$$$$
410 Market St
St. Louis, MO 63102 (Downtown St Louis)
Fine Dining-Dinner Only, Make reservations
AAA Four Diamond Award Winner
Dress is business casual, no shorts
Webmaster opinion: I have never been there, but this has been St Louis’ finest dining restaurant for over 50 years. It is a special occasion restaurant and a dining experience.
