22 Best Diners near Maplewood

“It's truly a diner. Straight back, counter only (no tables/booths), dive place kinda vibe. The owners are the employees and provide great customer service, smiling, laughing and talking easily with everyone there. It's cash only, but the simple menu is amazingly delicious.

This place seems to only get better. Having not been able to be there for a while, they still remembered us, the fact that we were on vacation and the like. Can't recommend it enough.“

“After reading the exceptional reviews, I decided to go and obtain my own opinion.... I can’t say enough positive things about the service at Olivette Diner – it was excellent! Ms. Melinda and Mr. Vince are polite and attentive, both go above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience – They genuinely care about their guests. I look forward to being a regular! 🍽️ 🥘 🍳 🍵 ☕️“

“Literally the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever had!! Cute diner, with super sweet and personable staff. 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.“

“My husband and I went to Carl's drive in today and it was excellent! There isn't much seating but man was it good!!! We will be back and telling all our friends and family!!“

“A very small dive diner, great food at affordable prices. Wonderful service, this place is from 1930s. And by the design of it it definitely fits. The food and service are wonderful. Cooking is just great. And fast. I'm giving you five stars because I really have a soft spot for diners like this. Where the food is good, fast, and affordable. There are some downsides to this diner. Things that they can definitely change to improve the experience. So they have sodas, available. But they only come in a can. You have to buy each individual can. Some might really appreciate that, but not having free refills for that it's kind of a bummer. What I didn't expect was the same for coffee. Coffee doesn't come in a can or anything, but it's no free refills. Sodas makes sense, the coffee can I threw me off from my experience with every other diner I've been to. Another big drawback is the space allocated to sit. This is a at the bar sit down diner. Perfectly fine and fast if you want a quick meal. But inside you're basically have the choice of sit at the bar, or if you're lucky that table at the end. they do have some outside seating which I really love. And I would love to use. Unfortunately during their hours of operation which is very limited from the mornings to the afternoon. You're going to be sitting in the sun. There's no shade no umbrellas, it'd be nice to have an awning over the top of the entire section. I'm honestly kind of surprised they haven't put a structure there for people to sit. Enjoy the open air. Good food and have some relief from the Sun. Or to be honest they could even expand and enclose that entire section in with the restaurant would be very nice. Just so you're not armed with anybody at the bar. There is definitely enough parking, so that's a good thing. And they have their own parking lot, so no need to park on the roadway and walk in. Overall a wonderful little diner. Definitely good food, and service.“

“Proper old school diner with the kind of filling food you would hope to find. Only draw back is no all day breakfast, but the lunch fare was more than worth missing out. The bacon cheeseburger was somehow both a delightful fried and crispy flat top smash burger and the kind of thick patty you'd usually find in one of those $20 'gourmet' burger joints.“

“Haven’t been in awhile but I do know they serve the best breakfast! My husband loves ‘The Slinger’ the best. Great food and atmosphere! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I had the B&G combo. It was amazing and they weren't greedy with the gravy. The 2 servers were both personable and made sure our coffee stayed hot.“

“Fast and friendly service. Delicious food.“

“excellent food and nice staff👍👍“

“Best Soul Food in St. Louis“

“I just moved to the City from Overland back in March. This has become my new comfort food. The owner is a hoot. Food is ALWAYS good, prices are great, restaurant is clean. Its no Ritz Carlton but it's open 24 hours, and always consistently good. I asked for extra pickles and I GOT them! (Lol. Now you know who I am and it was GREAT!)“

“It’s my bday I will be back soon“

“Old-school Chinese restaurants, some of the staff have limited English, but although the service is not friendly, it is efficient and the restaurant is clean. The menu is loaded with pictures so if you have difficulty deciphering what the food items are, you can take a peek. The appetizers are delicious, including the chicken feet, salt and pepper squid and the entrée sole salt and pepper deep-fried is good too. My only complaint is that if the prices on the menu or not would appear on your bill! My dinner ended up being over $70 with tip is I was charged more than the mini price. I paid the bill this time but if I do go back, I will call them out on it.“

“Diner Delight. The baked chicken was great and the pork chop on side. Sweet potato and dressing was good but wasn’t feeling the greens. Maybe you guys should try mix greens and I love the pound cake when they do have it. Diner delight have some nice folks working there. No complaints“

“Teresa does a good job at getting our food to us while it is hot. And shes nice“

“Jen Nolin was friendly, attentive. She was awesome!“
