2021 Best American Restaurants St. Louis
"Next up is Fox Park's Lona's Lil Eats, situated at 2199 California Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 541 reviews on Yelp, the Asian fusion, vegetarian and Chinese spot has proven to be a local favorite."
"I came to town for a visit and a friend of mine brought me her!. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is even better."
"French fare has the reputation for being stuffy and heavy, but that’s not the case at Brasserie. The food pays homage to, well, the French brasserie — a relaxed neighborhood restaurant where one can have a simple meal with friends and family. Whether you decide to take a seat at the bar and enjoy a cocktail with some gougeres and a Brasserie Burger or head into the main dining room for a romantic dinner, you’ll feel right at home."
"Another French favorite to make the list, Brasserie by Niche has a charming outdoor patio that is often bustling with guests and foodies. You can enjoy classic French dishes for dinner and brunch, including croque madame, roasted chicken and French onion soup, made with croutons, comté cheese and chives."
"If you only eat barbecue once in St. Louis, it should be at Pappy’s. This classic in Midtown is what you wish all barbecue places could be, and since everyone else in a large radius agrees, you’ll have to wait. They serve Memphis-style barbecue and while they do all the classics well, the ribs are their house specialty."
"The spot is Man vs. Food approved and I think that pretty much says it all. Frankly, any sort of meat here is ridiculously good so don't feel confined to burnt ends. For sides, I go for the sweet potato fries and the green beans (hey, you need some green on your plate)."
"There are three locations, and all of them boast home-style cooking with options like hand-cut pasta and bacon-wrapped meatloaf. In addition to signature sandwiches and salads, the restaurant also has a dinner menu of delicious American dishes and pastries. The restaurant is known for its breakfast sandwiches and classic American dinner."
"Like its sister location in Fenton, this South City spot emphasizes locally sourced products. Enjoy candlelit dinners on the tree-covered patio. $$$, 101 Best Restaurants 2016, Bakery, Best Restaurants 2018, Cafe/Coffee Shop, Clayton, Retail, South City"
"This coffee shop gives away all of their profits to local non-for profit organizations. And to make this even sweeter, a partnership with Kaldi’s coffee means the drinks and food are delicious."
"Cafe Napoli has been serving St. Louis delicious Italian cuisine since 1989. It’s been family owned and operated the entire time, and you can definitely feel and taste the difference. Executive Chef Chip Bates has been recently added to the team, and he brings a delightful new array of flavors and inspiration."
"A favorite among Clayton power brokers, Napoli serves pasta and other Italian standards. Pair your meal with a glass from the extensive wine list, available on tablets. $$$, 101 Best Restaurants 2016, Best Restaurants 2018, Clayton, COVID-19 Temporary Dining Guide, Italian, Temporarily Closed"
"For many St. Louisans, this legendary place defines decorous dining. It’s a panoply of tableside presentations, genteel service, and a lavish atmosphere that’s just short of ostentatious. $$$$, 101 Best Restaurants 2016, Best Restaurants 2018, Italian"
"When it comes to fine dining in St. Louis, no one does it better than Tony's. The restaurant is famous for its service, Italian food, and an extensive wine list. Tony's has received national awards from AAA, Mobil, Conde Nast Traveler, and more."
"This elegant, understated restaurant is the ideal place to celebrate special occasions. A favorite dish is the lobster albanello served in a creamy mushroom..."
"St. Louis' only Turkish restaurant is a sexy charmer, with warm lighting and booths tucked away behind gauzy veils. Settle into the pillows provided by the house, order a glass of red wine and share a meze platter: hummus, crispy feta, stuffed grape leaves and tabuli."
"Philip Johnson Salon/Spa provides a personalized experience to all of their guests that strives to exceed expectations. They give individualized attention and provide continual education by their dedicated and skillful staff. Furthermore, they give back to their community, nurturing each other."
"Located at 4581 Laclede Ave. in Central West End, the hair salon, day spa and skin care spot is the highest-rated day spa in St. Louis, boasting four stars out of 111 reviews on Yelp."
"Next up is Tower Grove South's Morgan Ford Massage & Spa, situated at 3187 Morgan Ford Road. With four stars out of 82 reviews on Yelp, the day spa, massage and hair removal spot has proved to be a local favorite."
"Princeton Heights's Trendy Nails & Spa, located at 6410 Hampton Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the nail salon and day spa four stars out of 145 reviews."
"Clementine’s knocked everyone’s socks off when they introduced St. Louis to “handcrafted small batch” ice cream, using only the finest natural ingredients. They call their ice cream Naughty and Nice because they have a selection of boozy ice creams–but their ice cream shop is totally family friendly. Their first location is amazingly TINY, so I suggest heading to their newest location in South Hampton at 4715 Mackland."
"The employees polite and do a great job.I dont go to the other burger places if I can help it.."
