Macklind Ave Deli is a Great Restaurant in St. Louis

I was driving around South St. Louis City around lunch time and I came across Macklind Avenue Deli. I stopped in to see what they had to offer. The menu consisted of different sandwiches that you would typically find in a deli. They had the turkey, roast beef, ham and salami.

The inside was a small little liquor store as well. It looks like they offer many varieties of beer and wine. I was tempted to get a beer but decided not to.

I ordered the Macklind Ave Roast Beef sandwich. This sandwich was piled high with thin sliced roast beef, topped with red onion and cream cheese. The roast beef was hot and tender and the cream cheese added the perfect touch. I love a roast beef sandwich with cream cheese. I also ordered the macaroni and cheese salad. This was a cold macaroni salad with celery, cheese and mayo. This was also very good.

Prices were decent. I got a roast beef sandwich, a side of macaroni salad and a drink for around $8.50.

I will definitely be going back to this deli next time I am in the area.

10th Street Italian is a restaurant where you order at the counter and the workers will bring your food to the table. 10th Street Italian has a wide variety of food including sandwiches, salads, and pastas. Prices are reasonable, ranging from 6 to 8 bucks. They also serve a wine and beer.

I ordered the lunch special. This is a salad and pasta dish for $7.25. I ordered the Italian salad and penne with garlic cream sauce. The salad was topped with cheese, croutons and drizzled with a tangy Italian dressing. The penne with garlic sauce was perfectly sauced. I would compare it to an alfredo sauce. It was not drenched with sauce like a lot of Italian places like to do.

10th Street Italian would be a great place to have lunch or a fast dinner if you were driving by.

Hodak's is the Place to eat Chicken in St. Louis

Hodak's Restaurant and Bar

I went to Hodak's for a wedding rehearsal dinner. We had the rehearsal dinner in the upstairs banquet room, which was quite nice. There were about 25 people that attended the event and there was more than enough room for everyone. The room had a bar in it and the drinks were flowing all night. The bartender made a good bloody mary and it included a celery stalk and a pickle.

The food was buffet style with Hodak's famous fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and salad. All of the food was very good. This was my first time having the fried chicken and it was very good. I can see why they are famous for fried chicken in the St. Louis area. The mashed potatoes are also worth recognizing as they were good as well.

If you are looking for some good fried chicken in the St. Louis area then check out Hodak's in South City.
