St. Louis boasts a wide range of eating options from fine dining to more affordable options. Whichever diner, café or restaurant you choose, you don’t want to miss the city's local specialties.
A Slinger is a savory combination of eggs, hash browns, meat, chili and cheese. This Midwest specialty is a St. Louis diner standard and can be served in classic or creative styles.
The popular Gooey Butter Cake was created in the 1930s when a local baker unknowingly switched the types of butter used in his cake recipe. This unique sugar-laden mix of butter, cream cheese, eggs and yellow cake is now a famous dessert.
Experience the other white meat with a St. Louis barbecue favorite, Pork Steaks. Whether you prefer it rubbed, brined, marinated or slathered in barbecue sauce, pork steaks are a must-eat when dining in St. Louis.
Another top pick from locals is St. Louis-Style Thin Crust Pizza. Topped with Provel cheese, which is a special blend of provolone, Swiss and a rare white cheddar. This Lou’s special pizza pie will stand with the best of them.
Last but not least, toasted Ravioli is an undisputed St. Louis favorite. Filled with meat or cheese, this breaded and deep-fried version of the classic is best enjoyed sprinkled with Parmesan and a side of marinara.
