Grilled ham and cheese was fantastic. Nice thick ham!!! Wife had the chili dog especially liked that it was cut in half and grilled then chili added!!! Our kid devoured the grilled cheese and my mom loved the frito pie!!! Whenever we are in the area we will stop in again!! Staff very accommodating and friendly!!!!

The breakfast spot had its charm, with a friendly and adorable elderly woman serving the tables, adding a warm, homely touch to the experience. The food was enjoyable and well-prepared. However, the worn-out and bent silverware, old cups detracted from the overall experience, leaving room for improvement in maintaining the dining essentials.

We have been frequent customers of the Courtesy Diner for many many years. The best "hole-in-the-wall" diner in St. Louis, IMHO. Our go-to one was on S. Kingshighway, but that one has since closed. Over the years, my wife and I have tried pretty much all that they have to offer on the menu. My favorite has always been the Slinger. Such a strange combination of flavors, but so tasty! It'll definitely fill you up. Their burgers, Chili Mac, regular breakfast items, everything is just amazing! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is clean (unless during a rush. Then the floor can get a bit messy. They're quick to come in with a sweep after a table leaves, though. On top of it!) Though we no longer live in STL, this restaurant is a must when we are in town. The prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are great. Can't wait to go back and devour another slinger. Side note: Cash Only... but they do have an ATM on site.
Parking: There are around 8 or so parking spaces in front of the restaurant.

We read some "what to do in St Louis" lists. Kept seeing a "slinger", and multiple people mentioned Courtesy Diner as the place to go. We really expected to be disappointed.
The place is small but wasn't crowded. They have a classic counter with small stools with no backs and we were able to find a couple. I imagine there would be a wait for seats during peak times. They also have a few booths along the windows.
We had coffee in our cups almost immediately after sitting down, and it was good coffee.
The menu had some good selection, but we got the slinger and then the one with sausage gravy instead of chili.
It was Christmas and they had lots of fun holiday decor and the staff were all dressed in fun gear.
The food came out quick and was delicious. Was totally up to expectations. I've never had eggs cooked so perfectly at a diner like this. Hashbrowns were also perfectly cooked.
So if you want the perfect diner slinger experience, this is a great place for it.
Parking: Free parking lot but it's small.
