McDonald's has some of the best breakfast foods from a fast food chain. While their lunch and dinner foods need improving McDonald's is still a favorite of mine for breakfast. They keep it simple with the food and what is served at breakfast time.
When I go to McDonald's I usually order the bacon, egg and cheese buscuit, and biscuits and gravy. Even though McDonald's is a fast food restaurant, there are not many places that can beat their biscuits and gravy. McDonald's breakfast is great any morning. It is the best when you have a long road trip and you have to get up early to leave. With McDonald's breakfast it makes a nice start to a long day.
Prices: About $3 for a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, hash brown, and a drink

Klipper's is NOT the Restaurant or Bar of the day for August 3, 2007 in St. Louis
Klipper's is the new restaurant where Tsevis' used to be. They might as well call it Tsevis' because it is the same menu and same look. The food was still unimpressive. I was never impressed by Tsevis' when that was there so I am still unimpressed by Klipper's. I though I would walk in and I would get a whole different feel from the place. I thought they would redo the menu into something more American, and make it into more of a sports bar. But they didn't, and left the same dark wood paneling up.
First lets start with the bar. We went here looking to have dinner and then stick around at the bar for some drinks also. We ordered drinks with dinner and saw that they were $3.25 for a beer, and decided that after dinner we would go somewhere else that was cheaper, because we were in South County and there is no way a beer should cost $3.25 at a bar like this in South County. I don't know who they think they are, but people are not going to pay a premium on beer to sit in a place like that.
I ordered the Philly style cheese steak and we also ordered the Salmon BLT wrap. It took forever. I did not think it would take that long for some simple items on the menu, considering only half of the dining room was full, if that. I added the salad onto my dinner for $1.99 and when it came out they also had bread come out with it. In the bread basket was a half eaten little container of butter. This was kind of disgusting, because after seeing that they probably use the same bread on multiple tables, if it doesn't get eaten. When the food finally did come we were not impressed. It was not that good, I could tell they cut corners on quality. The BLT Salmon Wrap was much better than the Philly, but still not as good as it could have been.
Prices: $30 for two sandwich plates, three drinks and a salad.

Moe's Mexican Grill is the Restaurant of the Day for August, 2
Moe's Mexican Grill is just like Q'doba or Chipotle, except Moe's has a salsa bar and they give you chips for free. If Q'doba or Chipotle were to do these things then I would like them all the same. But I can pick my salsa and I get chips I like Moe's better.
Similar to Q'doba or Chipotle, at Moe's you pick the stuff you want or don't want on your burrito, tacos, or nachos as you walk down the line. The only Moe's that I know of around here is the one off Olive. It is packed at lunch time. I get what they call the "Home wrecker" It has your choice of meat, beans, rice, sour cream, and salsa. I usually add queso cheese on it as well. This burrito is so good, you better be hungry, because it is huge.
Prices: At Moe's you will pay about $8.50 for a burrito, and a drink.

Dairy Queen: A Classic Place to get Ice Cream
It has been a while since I went to Dairy Queen, but I went their yesterday and got a dip cone. I forgot how much I used to love going to Dairy Queen and getting some of my favorites, like the Peanut Buster Parfait, and banana split.
I haven't been in a Dairy Queen in a while but I used to remember them focusing more on ice cream rather than food, but now it seems like they are focusing more on food than ice cream. I know it is probably hard operating an ice cream stand that is franchised, but I used to always think that their ice cream was so good. I hope their ice cream does not suffer because of the food they serve.
A dip cone is what I ordered and it was good. I got the small and it was big. From what I can tell, the ice cream is still delicious at Dairy Queen.
Price: I ordered a small dip cone for $1.70, but it was pretty big.

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

Phenomenal: The Most Overused Word by St. Louis Talk Radio Hosts
I am so sick and tired of hearing the word phenomenal to describe everything that is going on in the world. I know it is a big word and those guys on the radio want to seem smart but they are not fooling anyone. If I were to give some advice to talk radio hosts, and especially sports talk radio hosts, because they do it the most, it would be to stop using the word phenomenal because it is so overused it has lost its meaning. Be creative things are not always the same so stop using the same word to describe EVERYTHING. When I hear phenomenal now I think something or somebody is just O.K. So please stop using the word phenomenal so it can be used for what it really means.
Hardee’s is the Restaurant of the Day for July 31 in St. Louis
It has been a while since I went to Hardee's and I was short on time, so I went. I have heard so much about their "thick burgers" and how they were supposed to be so good.
Hardee's is claiming to have the best burger in town, period. This advertising may work on others, because whoever is saying that Hardee's has the best burger is dead wrong. They don't even have the best burger in the fast food industry. I would much rather eat a Culver's, or White Castle burger instead of Hardee's. I ordered the sourdough thickburger. The burger seemed like an ordinary burger to me. Hardee's offers nothing different than any other fast food joint. It had the pale brown look of the every fast food burger that I have eaten, with the exception of a few quality places.
I went into Hardee's at about 5:15 p.m. The place had three people inside eating. I don't know how this place stays open. Hardee's better think of something that distinguishes them from the other fast food places or I don't see how they can stay in business much longer. Almost all of the Wendys' closed in St. Louis, and I can see Hardee's doing the same thing.
Prices: $5.47 for a sourdough thickburger and a drink
