50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants East Saint Louis

“When it comes to Sandy's Barbecue, they will and have been my number 1, Bobbiecue go to. My family will come in town and that's exactly where they want their cue from.. We grew up with the owners and family and they loved the People of East St. Louis and Surrounding areas who also Supported them as well.. People come as far as Chicago, Kansas, Memphis, to get a Good Crispy Snoot from Sandy's. My favorite is their Snoots, and their Polish.. The only thing that I wish that they would do, is to use uber or door dash for delivery Service...Sandy's We Always Support You Forever...Mmmmmmm, Good! Grade, A+“

“Good to see you Tim. We loved your amazing food. Definitely will be back! Love ya 😘“

“Vinnie was really nice and helpful. He brought us our food when it was ready. Place is busy but the waits not long we got a table right away. Food was flavorful and fresh. Recommend the Ruben (the rye bread is good) or Uncle Sam's club.“

“Phenomenal Experience! The staff was very tentative and supportive when it came to my pregnant wife’s needs. The smoked meat will leave you quite satisfied. Highly recommend! The owner is highly respectful, very experienced in the hospitality service industry. Go order yourself a signature cocktail and variety of smoked meat entrees and take in the atmosphere. Will most definitely be coming back!“

“My family and I are visiting St Louis and stopped in Cafe de Blaire for some ice cream. It was homemade and delicious. On top of that, the owner was sooo kind and warm to my kids. She gave me a sample of a coffee drink and it was delicious. I went back today for more coffee. The other worker was there and also very kind. I am a coffee snob and both drinks I tried were GOOD. We will be back tonight for ice cream. 😊“

“4 stars for fingerling potatoes. 5 stars for Sleigh Bells “Rill Rill”.“

“Visited Have A Cow recently with a friend and it’s such a neat establishment. Great food and wonderfully friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“Service was excellent, gentleman at the bar was very knowledgeable and friendly. food came super fast, we both got their signature breakfast sandwich wich was delish however for $13 i was shocked it was on regular bread. looked very basic for the price. i also felt like their drinks came in the smallest size cups for adults you had to get two maybe even 3 to make it through your meal and the refills arent free. overall, it was a good experience glad we went.“

“My husband found this place as a spot for our day trip to stl. My sister in law introduced me to Cuban food years ago so I was no stranger! It was DELICIOUS!! The tostones with garlic,my Cuban with black beans,all amazing. An observation:this place was hopping! I’d make a reservation or I’d get it to go because you might be waiting for a while but in my opinion,it’s worth the wait!“

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“5 Stars – The Chicken Was So Good I Got Emotional We came here to celebrate our 1-year anniversary, and I left wondering if I should write a thank-you letter to the chef. First off, let’s talk about that chicken—hands down, the softest, most moist chicken breast I’ve ever had in my life. Like, I had a moment. It was that good. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth tender—I almost forgot it was poultry and not a warm hug in meat form. The shiitake mushrooms on the side were also on point. Rich, savory, and full of that earthy goodness that made me feel like I was leveling up my taste buds in real time. Then we got hit with dessert. Floating Island. I didn’t know what to expect, but what I got was pure magic—a fluffy cloud of sweetness with crème anglaise that made my eyes roll back like I just hit a flavor jackpot. And to top it all off—they surprised us with a free dessert when they found out it was our anniversary. That little gesture made the whole night even more special (and delicious). Brasserie by Niche didn’t just feed us. They fed our hearts, our relationship, and our future expectations of all restaurants everywhere. Good luck to the next place we go. You’ve been warned.“

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“This is the best burger in the city. I will die on this hill lol“

“This was a wonderful cocktail bar. The mixologists were super personable and so much fun! The drinks were delicious and inventive. Thanks for a great night!“

“My husband and I come here all the time. It’s a 30 minute drive for us but it’s completely worth it. I had their seasonal gingerbread ice cream recently. It comes with a gingerbread cookie that’s made in house. Best gingerbread cookie I’ve ever had in my entire life.“

“A great neighborhood bar filled with fun people, frequent specials and activities, and run by awesome individuals ❤️“

“I went to Pizzeoli last night with a group of friends and had an amazing dining experience. We started off with the Deep Fried Chanterelles and Chili-kissed Garlic Knots - the chantrellles were delicious and came with a chili ranch sauce that I would love bottled for home use. The garlic knots were a cut above your normal pizza place fare - melted in my mouth and garlic to butter proportions were perfectly balanced. It should be noted that their drink menu is extensive (along with their pizza menu - so many great options!). I chose the Athletic Cerveza - a great Non-alcoholic beer that ranks as a personal fav. I also like that Pizzeoli had multiple NA options as a non-drinker. On to the main course - my group chose the Andy (a current special with white sauce and mushrooms), the Lumberjack Snack (pep and bacon on red sauce) and the Meatball pizza (as recommended per their chef - meatballs on white sauce!). All three were delicious and cooked to perfection - the right amount of bubbles in the perfectly thin curst. I kept trying to choose a favorite and couldn't decide - would personally recommend a white sauce pizza but the red was also awesome! The grand finale was a banana split dessert pizza and ice cream sandwiches. A hot dessert pizza with the perfect cool toppings, I'd stop in just for an after meal treat some time. The ice cream sandwiches were delectable and fun to share with the table too. The atmosphere of Pizzeoli transported me to a simpler time when going to a neighborhood pizza place meant a friendly staff, unique decorations (check out the light shades over the tables!) and quality craftsmanship. A new favorite - highly recommend!“

“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.“

“Very good food highly recommend to someone wanting to try out something new and love Hawaiian food. Loved the Katsu. Service was friendly and wonderful! Definitely coming back.“

“What's not to like??? Incredible ice cream, convenient locations all over St. Louis, friendly staff. Always a treat when we go to Clementine's!“

“Breakfast was absolutely amazing! I got the burrito and nothing was left at the end of the meal! The mocha latte was SO good too. Cozy atmosphere and dog friendly patio 🐾❤️“

“Before their great beer could be found in cans at your local grocery store, there was the Civil Life Brewing Company tap room and restaurant. Great craft beer and perfect pub food & comfort food served in a German brew house style space. Fantastic outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Worth the trip to South City.“

“Protagonist has the best cheerful, cozy vibes!“

“Great food and fantastic cocktails. The BLT with a fried egg add goat cheese DELICIOUS“

“My absolute favorite pizza. Can't go wrong.“

“Pizza! Kind of pricey about $7/slice with the cash discount. It’s good, not great but yknow.

Been here a couple times, 10 cent token Thursday is bomb. Drinks are eh. I don’t drink a whole lot.

The games, they’re cheap they’re fun. Some are broken. Quite a few are out of order. Many never heard of. But again a fun space to burn some time“

“Awesome food! All sides are tasty. Beans are on the sweet side. But still yummy. Ribs are 10/10 Love the variety of sauces they provide.“

“Don’t judge from the outside! If you like diner food, this is the spot. Priced right, food came out fast and the place was full. Server was kind, attentive and knew the menu. Nice size portions, took half home. Food was hot, everything was delicious.“

“Tonight our pickup order was about 20 min late. Apparently there was a new cook doing the dumplings. We just want the new cook to know that you may have had a tough night, but your dumplings were excellent. Thanks!“

“After seeing the amazing reviews of this place online we walked a couple blocks from our rental and were not disappointed! What a gem. The sandwiches were all fantastic, they have the basics like bacon eggs and cheese but also have other specials and unique options. Their iced coffee was fabulous and I noticed they had alcoholic beverages for later in the day. Everyone was so kind, prices were fair. We bought baked goods to take for our ride home and we were so glad we did.“

“I am so glad I decided to try "something new" while in St. Louis for a doctors visit ! EVERYTHING was absolutely DELICIOUS, FRESH and HOMEMADE ! Super satisfied and highly recommend !“

“This was such a nice quiet place tucked away. The meal pictured was just 1 meal we split in half between the two of us. So it's safe to say they don't skimp on the portions. Our wait staff was very friendly and quick with our service. Would very much recommend this for those looking for a smaller town/mom and pop type atmosphere.“

“We were in town (from the Twin Cities) for the 2025 President's Day Classic, and had Hogtown Smokehouse cater a team (and parents) dinner for 30 in our hotel. Rico was fantastic in helping us out. Quick to respond to calls and emails. Gracious, and just wonderful altogether... and that's just the service. The food? The empty pans, told the story. Brisket, Turkey and Pork for meats. Mac & cheese, potato salad and beans for sides. EVERYTHING was amazing! I never right reviews, but Rico and staff deserve this one. If you're reading this, don't hesitate to give them a try. Thanks again, Rico!“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“Love this place! Always a great hang and the music is performed by some of the best artists in St. Louis! Food is spectacular Italian comfort food, and presented with such care and detail. I’m positive that the summer will bring a lot of attention to their elevated patio. Go check it out!!!“

“So happy I was able to try Pizza Head today! I had pepperoni slices and it was THE BEST VEGAN PIZZA ? I have found so far!!! Thank you so much for helping me find my favorite comfort food today. I will definitely be in to see you all again and will be looking for your truck at events?“

“Best dive bar in St Louis. Always a friendly face.“

“Uniquely decorated inside, and it's beautiful. Outside patio is awesome, loved the music, We had amazing service as well♥️ and great food!“

“Our October wedding at 2nd Shift Brewing was unforgettable! We had about 100 guests and everyone who attended raved about the great drinks and friendly bar staff. We rented out the venue from 5-10pm on Saturday night and the 2nd Shift team was so helpful in the planning process leading up to the event and setting up/executing the event on wedding day. We were so glad we chose 2nd Shift for our wedding and have no regrets!“

“What's not to like??? Incredible ice cream, convenient locations all over St. Louis, friendly staff. Always a treat when we go to Clementine's!“
