Macklind Avenue Deli
4271 Macklind Ave
St. Louis, MO 63109
Website
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 Great Italian Place to Eat in St. Louis
10th Street Italian
504 North 10th Street, Downtown St. Louis
or
2951 Dougherty Ferry Rd - At the intersection of Big Bend and Dougherty Ferry Rd.
Website
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.

Subway is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Subway - Multiple Locations
Subway has become an American institution. They continue to develop more sandwiches and a wide variety of sandwiches. It is hard not to find a Subway anywhere in St. Louis, they are all over the place. Subway keeps it simple. They make sandwiches how much more simple can it get. Subway has something for everyone. With turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, steak, etc., everyone can find something they like at Subway. Subway is fast, good, and a pretty good price. Many places have tried to duplicate Subways success by making sandwiches, but Subway is still dominant.
When I went to Subway the other day I ordered a turkey and roast beef sandwich. They really need to work on the toasters at Subway, because It doesn't really toast a good sandwich. It is like a microwave that stales the bread. I thought they would have found something better than this by now. But, the sandwiches are still very good. I get a six inch and put the toppings and a few sauces and I am good to go. Prices are good, food is good, and Subway is usually very fast, even when there is a long line.

This was very good and very cheesy. I would definitely order this again.

Blues City Deli is a great little deli that is close to Gravois and Highway 55. From the minute I walked into this place I knew this was a good deli. The feel of Blues City Deli encompasses what a deli should be. A deli should be simple. And this place is simple. There is a counter to order sandwiches and about 10 tables for customers to sit.
I arrived at about 11:30 and there was not a line and about 2 tables that were open. I walked right up to the counter and ordered my sandwich. But, by the time I left the place was packed and there were no seats available at all. The staff was friendly and brought my sandwich to me when it was ready. Blues City Deli has all of the sandwiches that you would expect from a deli. They have roast beef, turkey, salami, ham, meatball, and they have some original sandwiches like pulled pork.
I ordered the Italian beef and a salad with the house dressing. The salad was good. It was a bed of lettuce, provelone cheese, and tomatoes. The house dressing was an Italian dressing that was pretty good. The Italian beef was very good. The roast beef was very tender and the peppers were spicy. Blues City Deli is a great place to eat lunch in St. Louis. I can't wait to go back.
Prices: $4.95 for an Italian beef and $2.95 for a house salad.

Kaldi's is the St. Louis Restaurant of the Day
Kaldi's Coffee - Multiple Loacations
Be sure to visit www.stlstuff.com for more
Kaldi's Coffee is a coffee shop that is like a mix between Starbucks and The St. Louis Bread Company. Kaldi's offers a variety of coffee, breakfast food and lunch food. Kaldi's has a nice variety of sandwiches, soups and salads on the lunch and dinner menu. This is a great place to eat, have a cup of coffee, and do whatever you need to do in a coffee house.
I went to the Kaldi's in Kirkwood and I ordered the half sandwich and a soup or salad deal. I got the roast beef sandwich, and a bacon, lettuce, and tomato salad. The roast beef sandwich was very good. It was better than any of the sandwiches that I have ever ordered at the Bread Company. And the salad was alright. It was nothing special, but I would eat it again. Kaldi's Coffee is a great lunch spot. It is very comparable to the St. Louis Bread Company, but I think Kaldi's is just a bit better than the Bread Company.
Prices - About $9 for half sandwich, salad and a drink.

Pickles Deli is a Restaurant of Choice in St. Louis
Pickles Deli is brand new deli and sandwich shop in the Central West End. It is located at 22 North Euclid Avenue, just across from the Park East Tower and the new Park East Lofts.
Already getting rave reviews on Sauce Magazine's site, I was excited to see Pickles going in on Euclid because the West End was in need of a non-commercial sandwich place. Seeing as I'm moving into the lofts across the street, the fiancee and I can came in with high hopes - and Pickles did not disappoint. One thing that can be tough to find in the Central West End is good, quick carry-out food. We were heading over the St. Louis Symphony's outdoor concert in Forest Park, so we needed picnic food. The time for Pickles had come.
While I was expecting a little more of a Subway setup, from the second you first walk in you can tell that Pickles only serves up the freshest of meats and cheeses. They have each of them still wrapped up and waiting to be sliced just like they do at real-deal delis and grocery stores. Very, very nice.
The menu has all of your typical sandwich options, from Corned Beef or Pastrami, to a Club sandwich and a Veggie offering. I went for the Club just to give an old favorite a try in a new place. You can choose your bread from about 6-7 options (which includes Pretzel bread), and you can choose a cheese - both at apparently no extra charge than the retail price of the sandwich. The price on the Club was $7.95 and most sandwiches are in the $6-8 range.
Of course there is the obligatory chip rack, which had a nice selection of Krunchers, Jays, Sun Chips as well as all the regulars. I got to talking to the owner and what was apparently the co-owner for a few minutes - friendly and down to Earth guys. They told me the cupcakes are made fresh by the owner's sister (they looked tasty). I got to telling them that I would be moving into the area in the near future and that I'd definitely stop by.
Once we got over to FoPo and got to dig in, I was happy at what I ended up with. It's a notch above any Subway sandwich (or the like) that you can find in town. Thumbs up.
Cheap, quick, fresh. That's Pickles. Right in a convenient spot in the CWE.

September 27, 2007: McAlister's Deli is the Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis
McAlister’s Deli has three locations around St. Louis. Find one.
I have written about McAlister's Deli before, but this time I ordered on of the spuds.
Last time I was at McAlister's, I noticed everyone ordering baked potatoes piled high with toppings and they looked really good. Get to McAlister's early because the place gets packed by about noon. There was a line all the way out the door, which is a good site to see, because this is a very good place to eat. McAlister's serves high quality food at a good price. It is hard to find a place that does this any more. They also have great service at McAlister's. They have workers walking around filling peoples drinks.
So, I had to order a spud, because they looked so good and they were huge. This is two pounds of potatoes and toppings. They had a variety of different toppings that went on the baked potato, such as, chicken, chili, cheese, ham, turkey, beef, and more. I ordered the chicken fajita spud, which is chicken, peppers, onions, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeno peppers. This thing was delicious. It filled me up for the rest of the day. I highly recommend ordering anything from McAlister's because it is a great place to eat.
Prices: About $6.50 for a huge potato and toppings.

For more on restaurants and bars around St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
Syberg's has multiple restaurants and bars throuhgout the St. Louis area. Find one.
Syberg's is a classic St. Louis establishment. They are famous for their chicken wings and wing sauce. They also have the famous shark chunks that are served at Syberg's. I have never had them but I hear they are good. I have been to two Syberg's. I have been to the one on Gravois in Affton, and the one by Westport. Both locations have the bar atmosphere. During the day Syberg's is a nice restaurant and grill. And at night Syberg's becomes a place where people gather to drink. At the Westport location on weekend nights there is live entertainment and the bar is packed with people. But at the Gravois location they play loud music over the speakers and the bar gets pretty packed with people. At the Gravois location they have a nice outside patio.
I ate lunch at the Gravois location. I got there at about 11:50 and there were plenty of places to sit. The menu at Syberg's is huge. It has a ton of stuff on it. You have your choice between a ton of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and more. I ordered the cajun chicken philly sandwich. This was a grilled chicken breast covered in cajun spices, peppers and onions. This was a very good sandwich. The spices on the chicken gave it a different taste, it was good. The sandwich also came with a side order of fries or home made chips. I ordered the chip and they were good as well.
Prices: $10.05 for a chicken philly, home made chips, and a drink

August 28, 2007: Jimmy John's is not the Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis for Today
Jimmy John's is a sub sandwich shop that is fairly new to the St. Louis area. On the inside of the Jimmy John's there are signs that try to be funny. Jimmy John's claims to make subs "so fast you will freak." It is not hard to make subs that fast when you have no options on what goes on the sub. I used to like Jimmy John's when they first came to St. Louis, but then I thought why am I eating this when I could be eating Penn Station or the countless number of other sandwich shops which serve both hot and cold sandwiches. You can't compare a Jimmy John's to a Penn Station, Penn Station is 10 times better. I guess my problem with Jimmy John's is that I got sick of their food. It doesn't sound good to me anymore.
Jimmy John's does have good bread. That is one thing that is good about them. They also have a variety of sandwiches, but it is basically a choice between cold turkey, roast beef, ham, or salami, and if I wanted one of those sandwiches I could find 10 other places I would rather get one. Their meats are average and the toppings are the usual lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. When I go I get the Bootlegger Club. This is a turkey and roast beef sandwich, but it doesn't come with cheese, what a rip-off. I have to ask for cheese and it cost extra.
Prices: About $6.25 for a sandwich

The menu is loaded with different sandwiches like the special, loaded roast beef, chicken and bacon sandwiches, hot sandwiches. They have some good looking sides as well like baked macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy.
I ordered the country fried steak sandwich. This was a country fried steak with white gravy on a hoagie roll. This thing was delicious. For a side order I got the mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were ok, but the country fried steak sandwich was great. I definitely recommend going there for lunch and ordering one of there sandwiches. You have to get there early though, because this place gets a little crowded. This is a must eat lunch spot for me. What made it even better is the prices. My sandwich only cost me $4.89 where else can you get a great tasting HOT sandwich for this price. Next time I go, I am going to get a ribeye steak sandwich, which they have on the menu for a low $5.89. Is there anywhere else you can get a steak sandwich for that cheap?

Lion's Choice is the Restaurant of the Day for August 13, 2007 in St. Louis
Linon's Choice - Find a Location
Lion's Choice is a fast food restaurant famous for roast beef sandwiches. Lion's Choice uses high quality products and you can tell. The best part about going to Lion's Choice is that you are able to get as much au jus as you want, it is self serve. One thing that drives me crazy is that restaurants do not to give out a lot of au jus when they serve a french dip. They hoard it like it is gold, and I always run out, but not at Lion's Choice.
Lion's Choice is famous for their roast beef sandwiches. These are the best. The sandwiches at Lion's Choice may be one of the best roast beef sandwiches in St. Louis. The thing to do is to order the roast beef sandwiches and get the melted cheddar cheese on it. It is so good. Another great thing about Lion's Choice is that they have great dip cones, also.
Prices: $4.09 for a roast beef sandwich and an order of fries

Arby's is Restaurant of the Day for August 1, 2007 in St. Louis
Arby's is a fast food restaurant that has really grown over the past five to seven years. They started out as a place to get a roast beef sandwich, hence the name "Arby's" (RBs). I don't think their roast beef sandwiches are near as good as Lions Choice's. Now Arby's has more to offer on their menu, like the market fresh sandwiches, which have really taken off. Arby's started making thier food with higher quality ingredients, and this is when they really started growing.
I went to Arby's wanting to get the pick 5 for $5.95 but I ended up getting one of their new toasted subs. This is a new item they have been advertising in the last month or so. I got the turkey club toasted sub, fries and a drink. The turkey club, had turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a grilled loaf of bread. This turkey club was o.k., I probably would not get it again if I were to go back. I should of ordered the "pick 5 for 5.95". This is a great deal. You have your choice of a roast beef sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich, cheese sticks, potato cakes, fries, a drink and a shake. You could make a meal for two for $5.95, I think that is a good deal.
Prices: Toasted turkey club, fries and a drink for $7.50

Great Steak and Potato Company is Restaurant of the Day for July 30 in St. Louis
Great Steak and Potato Company is in the food court in South County mall and they also have one in West County mall as well. They do not offer much to eat. They have a philly steak sandwich, chicken philly, gyros, baked potatoes, and fries. I have not eaten at this place in a while, but I remember it being very good.
I ordered the philly steak sandwich and was dissapointed. Maybe because I compared it to Penn Station, and this sandwich is not even close to Penn Station's Philly steak sandwich. For the meat it looked like they used a thin cut of meat like a "Steak-um", and the bread was not that great. I could tell that Penn Station uses high quality ingredients, because The Great Steak Company's sandwich did not compare.
When you are at a food court in a mall it is all about choices. I don't think I will be choosing this place to eat next time I am in the food court. There was something new that I saw in the Food Court at South County Center, and it was called D. Bubs ballpark grill, or something like that. I didn't look that closely but I wonder if they charge ballpark prices?
Prices: $7 for a sandwich, fries and a drink
