Comfort Food Restaurants near University City, MO

“Tumeric is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. We have been here numerous times, and we were always happy with the quality of food and service here after each visit. The wait staffs have been friendly and welcoming. Tumeric provided a pleasant and soothing ambience in addition to comfy booth seatings.They sold out of chicken 65 tonight, so my partner got the Kale Palak Chaat. This was an interesting dish where kales was disguised in a yummy way - crispy and flavorful. We also got Paper Dosa and Butter Chicken. We tried a few places served Dosa in STL but Tumeric's Dosa is the best! I highly recommended the Paper Dosa here. Basically, Dosa is a thin, crispy, Indian style crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter - definitely a vegan friendly item. You can pick your own fillings such as potato/egg/chicken or lamb. My favorite is the potato filling. Their butter chicken served with Basmati rice on the side was finger licking good!!!! The sauce was very buttery/creamy, and the chicken was very moist. It's even better when warm fresh Garlic Naan dip in the sauce. Highly recommend!!!Vegetarian options: Paper DosaKid-friendliness: High chairs“

“The staff was curteous with allowing me to sample their product...really impressed with the food and service thus will patronize them again in the near future--and the oxtails were extremely tender oh the collard greens yum yummy sweet delicious.“

“Good Thai food. Have had better but the flavors and drinks were all on point! In my opinion the service was below average I felt very rushed from the moment I sat down with my group. A few of the orders were not quite as ordered and a fair bit of confusion.Dietary restrictions: Both Vegan and Vegetarian along with gluten free options!“

“My wife and I stopped by this morning before a four hour drive home for breakfast. I had the smoked pork chop with eggs and a biscuit, my wife a vegetable omelet. Both were fantastic, the portions were large and the prices very reasonable. The service was great. Highly recommend.“

“Five starts in every way! Adorable space, impeccable service, and delightful food and drink! I brought a friend and two older adults. We each had something different--biscuits and gravy, the stuffed French toast, and a burger. Everyone loved everything. We also had drinks. I love my gin and tonic and the black pepper and? Bloody Mary was delicious. I also took some sandwich cookies and some gooey butter cake home! Perfection! I can't wait to come back to the Blue Duck!“

“Randomly googling vegan restaurants in St Louis (already knew I'd have to drive to the side south) and this gem popped up - WHAAAAT? It's only 5 mins from me. I finally made it today right before they closed and it was worth the wait. It was a little hard to find tho but the Nae Nae Philly and Fries #chefskiss ? Well done! I will definitely be back. ???“

“Really yummy :)) everybody inside was friendly and welcoming in a very genuine way that makes you feel very cared for. The ribs were soo well cooked and the pulled pork was tender (reminds me of being home w my dad who always makes ribs for us). I always love mac & cheese but especially here. The atmosphere has a really sweet/homey feel, definitely recommend going“

“We stopped in the neighborhood to try a restaurant next door that happened to be closed. We stumbled into Milque Toast looking for dinner, and I’m so glad we did! The egg salad toast is exceptional, as well as the rose cream soda. The employee working was so friendly and helpful, we felt right at home! He even brought us cookies and milk to complete our meal - which were amazing. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Tried this restaurant yesterday. Had a reservation for Valentine’s Day. The food was really good and the waiter was nice. The restaurant wasn’t really crowded when we got there and we still had to wait. The table we got was a high top by the bar, would have preferred a booth or other table in the dining area but all in all it was a good experience. I’d go back for another steak, it was delicious.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free facilityParking: Lots of spots“

“SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES!!!Feel in love w/ Lisa’s cooking; she for sure knows what she is doing in the kitchen. The catfish was cooked to perfection. The spaghetti & potato salad was amazing. Tried the apple holly pocket and it was delicious so I am definitely trying the peach one next. I ordered two days in a row and had my family place a big order. They loved the food as well. Nice place for a grab and go; family is very nice. I will continue to support and eat at this establishment.“

“The Eggplant Katsu and Strawberry Sandos we had were great, but the Peach Boi was FANTASTIC. Amazingly tender and flavorful peaches with a bold cinnamon note, perfectly soothed by the generous portion of whipped cream. Thank you for the fun food IZUMI!“

“That's some delicious fried chicken. Well breaded and fried with a nice base level of spiciness. I got a recommendation to check it out, so I was a little surprised they didn't have different levels of spiciness, but it was very tasty, so it worked for me.Standard sides are beans and slaw, which were both good. The fried okra was a step up and fresh with a good batter.We were a walk-in party of 8, which they were easily able to accommodate, but the food took a little longer than we anticipated. Well worth the wait.“

“The food is delicious let's start there 9/10! Chicken and fish are fried to just right. The sides are pretty good as well, love the fried green tomatoes and mashed potatoes. All their sauces seem to be made in house and are very tasty. But what I don't like is tipping and all they do is bring out your food. You have to buss your own table when you're done and that's not cool but meh. But the people are still very nice and accommodating.“

“Today my friend and I ate at Grace Meat & Three after visiting the Botanical Gardens. It was our first time going there. I got the meal deal which was chicken tenders, fries, and a drink. The chicken was delicious and so were the fries. I enjoyed all the dipping sauces they have to choose from. We will definitely be back.“

“Do you crave crispy perfect chicken and deviled eggs? I do. Grace Meat and Three always satisfies my cravings. Their staff is so helpful in picking just the right combinations of mains and sides. There is plenty of space to take a large group or just show up and hang out at the bar. The bar is a perfect spot to grab a cocktail while you await your tasty treats arrival.“

“Delicious ❤️❤️❤️we are visiting from Memphis and I wanted some fried fish…….let me just say I was not disappointed. This was everything that I wanted and some more. I pray many Blessings on your business. From the cashier to the management…..AWESOME….Service and Food….Please stop by and grab some of this amazing service and food ❤️❤️❤️“

“We hosted a private event at the restaurant. The owner was very accommodating. We even provided our menu selections ahead of time to have a smoother experience. I had the Salmon & Veggie Pasta and it was $26.99. I even had leftovers! I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I am a Assistant Travel Coordinator for a non-profit organization that is located in Concord NC. I called this location in hopes of getting a catering order put in place for when we were going to be in town. I spoke to Lamon Credit and I have to say that he is absolutely AMAZING!! Most of the time when I call places and try and place a larger order for a date that is further out they get frustrated and make me feel like a burden. NOT LAMON!!!! He was so respectful and made sure that I was well taken care of. He made me feel appreciated and that he was happy that I called to place an order with him. This has been by far the best service I have EVER received over the phone. We will defiantly be contacting them again when we come back next year!PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT!“
