Best Diners in Hazelwood

"A neighborhood diner with a Southwestern influence, Southwest Diner serves one of the best breakfasts in town. Boasting vibrant turquoise and burnt red decor, you’ll feel like you’re on a Wes Anderson set but, we promise, the food is the real star here. A New Mexican breakfast burrito loaded with house sausage or chorizo is an obvious choice, but the buttermilk cornmeal pancakes and Jonathan’s Famous Fiery Scramble are local favorites."

"Imagine that a diner from New Mexico circa 1955 was magically transported to current-day St. Louis and you have Southwest Diner. It feels like a time warp in the best way possible. The interior has a teal, red and blue motif, decorated with all sorts of cacti and New Mexican flair."

"In a town full of beloved greasy spoons and breakfast spots, there is really only one City Diner. The original location on South Grand is well-worn, yet somehow becomes cozier with each passing year and hits all the right notes that you’d expect from a classic American diner; kitsch and vintage Americana cover the walls and sleek Formica tabletops are adorned with playful mid-century boomerangs. Each weekend, from the early morning until midday, guests of the Tower Grove location can be found hovering over plates of pancakes, spectacular corned beef hash and the diner’s own take on the slinger."

"For almost 27 years, City Diner has been serving tasty breakfast fare in a retro diner setting on South Grand. When owner Peter Spoto opened the diner in 1992, it was originally located next door to its current space on South Grand Boulevard; the building once housed popular greasy spoon Pearl and Ray’s, which closed in the late 1980s. Then a regular at neighboring Mangia Italiano, Spoto saw his opportunity to bring a different kind of diner to the community."

"You can find an extravagant brunch from two different locations of Kingside Diner on any given day, whether you are looking to dine-in or take something home. Kingside specializes in brunch, so you're not lost for options regardless if you're a sweet breakfast person or a savory one. Try one of the restaurant's specialties, like the veggie hash made with roasted sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, onion, garlic and eggs, or go extravagant with the strawberry shortcake, French toast served with strawberries and a sweet cream filling."

"Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that a diner with the word "chili" in its name also claims to have started one of St. Louis' most iconic dishes – much of the menu, after all, comes smothered in chili. Chili Mac's Diner, located on Pine Street in the heart of Downtown St. Louis, has long billed itself as "the home of the slinger and the Cardinals." The casual, no-frills greasy spoon, which serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, offers a short but sweet menu of classic diner fare including biscuits and gravy and chili pie. The most famous dish, of course, is the slinger, which features two cheeseburger patties, home fries, eggs cooked your way and the requisite mild chili with no beans, served with shredded cheese and onions on top and a side of toast."

"Next up is downtown's Chili Mac's Diner, situated at 510 Pine St. With four stars out of 114 reviews on Yelp, the diner has proven to be a local favorite."

"Diner's Delight has been serving soul food to customers in South City for half a century. The menu rotates each day of the week, but expect to find classics like fried chicken, beef ribs, pork chops, chicken and dumplings and more. Each plate includes a choice of bread and two sides, which could be sweet potatoes, mac 'n' cheese, green beans, red beans and rice or a smattering of other options depending on the day."

"More than 20 years ago, Greg Winchell took over ownership and operations of Morgan’s, a small greasy spoon on Manchester Avenue in Maplewood. The diner was named after the former owner’s daughter, and after a few years, Winchell decided to rename it after his own daughter, Tiffany. A lot has changed at the diner in the past two decades – new menu items have been added, renovations have updated the 635-square-foot interior and, most recently, Winchell began serving beer, cocktails and boozy coffee drinks."

"Larry Rugg, owner of Courtesy Diner with three locations across the city and county, hasn’t had a slinger in several months. It’s not that he doesn’t enjoy slingers – they’re delicious, he says – it’s just that Rugg’s stomach has gotten older since he bought Courtesy Diner in 1998. “The college kids burn stuff off so quickly that the bulk of a slinger doesn’t bother them a bit,” he says."

"The diners' owner claims that half of the customers this signature dish is sold to is college students — go figure. A classic slinger includes two eggs, hash browns, a hamburger patty, and chili. I dare you to get more Midwestern than that."

"Last but not least, there's Missouri History Museum, a Forest Park favorite with four stars out of 98 reviews. Stop by 5700 Lindell Blvd. to hit up the landmarks, historical building and museum next time the urge strikes.

"Visit this museum for a look at the history of the metro-St. Louis region and its place in Missouri’s development. Offering free admission, ongoing exhibits include the 1904 World’s Fair, World War I, and iconic photographs."
