Southwest Diner Reviews
Visiting from Northeast PA. The food was delicious. highly recommend going here for a traditional diner style breakfast.
We were out on a Monday morning produce run for our restaurant and wanted a quick brunch. Service was fast, friendly, and delicious. Parking can be odd but it’s worth the Tetris.
Glad I made the decision to stop in for a bite before I left St. Louis!

Southwest Diner offers a true Southwest-style experience with ample cacti and decor. The menu features spicy choices and Mexican-themed drinks. Diners can enjoy flavorful dishes like huevos rancheros, breakfast burrito Christmas style, and buttermilk cornmeal pancakes with house-made strawberry jam. Service is excellent, with prompt attention once seated, although customers should be prepared for a wait on weekends. The food is well worth it, making it a standout in the area. Customers praise the generous portions and unique twists on each dish, including fiery scramble and breakfast enchiladas. The homemade biscuits & gravy are delicious, and many agree that the pancakes steal the show, being unlike any they have ever eaten. The atmosphere and service receive high marks, creating a warm and nostalgic environment that many find hard to leave. The staff is mostly friendly and attentive, and the restaurant’s lively vibe makes it a great place for breakfast or lunch. While some guests have noted that the food can be spicy but may lack a depth of flavor and freshness, others celebrate the delightful chocolate malt and overall experience.
