Pete's Drive In is a Wentzville tradition dating back to 1966. It is an old-style drive-in restaurant that operates on its own without the backing of a large, chain restaurant group. I visit here from time to time for nostalgia's sake and to enjoy an old-style burger basket with a real root beer. Pete's is...
Lewis & Clark's is located on the corner of South Main and First Capitol Drive. South Main is the "main street" of the St. Charles riverfront. The restaurant is directly uphill from the Mississippi riverfront park and pavilion. This restaurant has been one of the main restaurants of the area for more than a decade....
We sometimes use this McDonald's simply because it is the only one on the north side of Lake St. Louis. However, we always use it "with reservations." The service is almost always SLOW and I've yet to hear a thank you from the staff. If at all possible, we use the McDonald's on the south side of Lake St. Louis...
The Denny's at Lake St. Louis is located on Lake St. Louis Blvd. between the large lake dam and I-70. It has been there for years. The building goes all the way back to being "CoCo's" which I believe was the first restaurant at Lake St. Louis back in the early 1970s. I'm somewhat...
I've eaten here quite a few times over the years as I feel that Applebee's has one of the better Fish & Chips meal deals in this area (you can substitute a salad for the coleslaw for a small fee) plus a variety of other meals that I can enjoy. We've always had pretty good service at this outlet....
Buffalo Wild Wings in Wentzville is one of the town's larger restaurants. There are a lot of large screen TVs around so its somewhat akin to a sports bar. I like both the restaurant facility and the food a lot. The service during our visit was also very good. I just find it hard to cash out so much money...
Our family has been eating at or taking out from Green China for many, many years. Its our favorite take-out Chinese restaurant in the area. The Chinese couple that run this restaurant have always been friendly and efficient. Be sure to check out their luncheon combination specials. My favorites dishes are Beef with Broccoli, Curry Shrimp, and Shrimp Fried Rice....
The Blue Sky Cafe & Bar is located in a small mall area on the corner of the intersection of Bryan Road and Highway N which is right at the entrance to the community of Winghaven. Our favorite thing when we visit this bar is to enjoy their outdoor seating in warmer weather. Don't expect...
The Slippery Minnow Bar & Grill is located directly on Lake Waco at the Lake Waco Marina. The bar/restaurant is built on pilings over the water. Just follow the signs to the marina as you get close. The Slippery Minnow is a simple affair but if you like to eat lakeside, it is an enjoyable...
The Brass Rail Tavern & Tap is located in a strip mall on the west side of Highway K just north of I-64 behind Kitaro. It has two nice wood bars plus the normal high table seating and some booths. There are 5 flat screen TVs plus outdoor seating for warm weather. I'd give the decor 3.5 stars. ...
You can't miss Terry & Kathy's if you are driving through Defiance, Missouri. It's right there where Highway 94 makes a "Z" turn. This bar is very popular with the Harley-Davidson crowd on the weekends. You'll often see as many as 30 motorcycles parked. But that shouldn't put you off if you aren't a biker. I've visited here off-and-on for...
The Everest Cafe is and its sister location are the only restaurants I found in St. Louis serving Nepali dishes. So if you wish to experience those tastes, this is one of the places. I didn't expect a lot from the location and exterior. But, upon entry, one notices the white tablecloths (glass covered),...
