St. Louis Breakfast Spot???
Hi everyone! I'm hoping you can help me remember the name of a restaurant I ate breakfast at in downtown St. Louis 10 years ago. Our hotel recommended it at the time... It's a little diner - you can sit at one of the maybe 12 tables or up at the counter. The grill is right there and you can watch them cook. I seem to remember that all of the menu items were titled with "old-fashioned greasy spoon" names - like old-time waitresses would have yelled to the cooks back in the 50's/60's.
Can anyone help???
THANKS!!!

I do not know either. I asked a few people as well.
Uncle Bills is a great place for breakfast( south city) - it is rather old fashioned and has the best pancakes and serves the most bacon or sausage than any other restaurant in STL!!!
Hope you can find it!!!

There is a place called the Eat-Rite diner. Coudl this be it??
I just heard someone telling some tourists about yesterday.....

You're probably thinking of a diner downtown on Pine St. called "Chili Mac's". It used to be called "O.T. Hodges". They're famous for the Slinger. It's a hamburger patty, 2 eggs (fried or scrambled), and fried potatoes covered in chili.

Leigh, it might be helpful to know where you stayed last time, and if you walked to the diner from the hotel, or if you drove.
Did they serve ice cream and malts? Does anyone know if Crown Candy serves breakfast? (I've only had ice cream there).
If you are looking for specific retaurant ideas, just ask. And check out www.saucemagazine.com for their restaurant listings.

Liz-
We stayed at the hotel which is now the Millenium (the tall, round one downtown). The hotel desk person recommended the breakfast spot and we did walk there...
I'm trying to remember if OT Hodges sounds familiar.....................
