If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food experience, look no further. The juicy patty melt is a standout—perfectly grilled with caramelized onions, melted cheese, and buttery toasted bread that hits all the right notes. The cheeseburger is equally impressive, with a juicy, perfectly seasoned patty and fresh toppings that bring it all together. The grilled ham and cheese? Golden, gooey, and delicious, add some grilled onions—just the way it should be.
The fries are the perfect sidekick: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. And it’s not just about the food—the fun, talkative personalities behind the counter make every visit feel like a welcome experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, this place nails both the flavor and the vibe every time.

This diner is somewhat of an institution in St. Louis. If you want a great greasy hamburger or some tasty chili, check out the White Knight. It can also be seen in the movie White Palace starring Susan Sarandon and James Spader.

This is what you call the perfect greasy spoon. They treat you like family. Your food feels like your granny aunt or sis making you breakfast.

My order was ready very fast but the food (cheese burger omelet) was bland and the price was a bit on the steep side.

Your typical grease spoon dinner from the 50s. Best service though
In my ongoing quest to try all the places in George Motz's hamburger book I stopped by here this week. Had a really great hamburger (for breakfast) and soaked up the atmosphere. Lots of locals here for a regular fix. Isn't really the most hospitable if you've got more than a party of 2 so plan to take it to go if you've got a group.

This place is featured in George Motz's Hamburger America, so I stopped in on my way out of town to grab a few for the road. The burgers were delicious (I got a chili and a double cheese). Staff was friendly and inviting. Everyone there was having a good time and seemed like they were regulars. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic tiny diner. Was there early and it was 90% regulars, getting “the usual”. Lots of banter between staff and regulars. I ordered another coffee just to hang around a bit longer.

Very small, nice ladies working in there, but my credit card got hacked right after using it !!!!!
check your credit card statement four:
" love to dream " on a small reoccurring service.
This is why you NEVER use your debit card!!!!
