Broadway Oyser Bar
736 S Broadway
St. Louis, MO 63102
The Broadway Oyster Bar is a small little place with a nice patio on Broadway close to Busch Stadium. The Broadway Oyster Bar's menu is loaded with southern Louisiana cajun style favorites. The menu is filled with Jambalaya, and southern favorites. The inside of the Broadway Oyster Bar is a small place with a bar. The outside patio is covered and enclosed in the winter. This looks like a nice place to hang out on a chilly fall evening.
I ate at the Broadway Oyster Bar for lunch. We arrived there at about 11:45 a.m. and we the only ones in there for the whole time we were eating. But, the food here was great. I ordered the shrimp grinder. This was a loaf of soft french bread filled with cajun style shrimp. This was a very good sandwich and came with fries. I wanted to try the Jambalaya and I will the next time I eat there. I would definitely go back to the Broadway Oyster Bar.
Prices: About $8.50 for a Shrimp grinder and fries.

The Bean House is the St. Louis Place to Eat and Drink
The Bean House, La Casa Frijole
1100 Lemay Ferry Rd
St. Louis, MO 63125
For more restaurants and bars visit www.stlstuff.com
The Bean House is a Mexican Restaurant at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Telegraph. From the outside of the building the place looked like it had a nice patio, but it was too cold to sit outside. The inside of The Bean House was not decked out, and didn't look like every other mexican restaurant that feels the need to put up that ugly fake Mexican decoration. This was a very straight forward place. The menu did not have the 50 combination dinners that other places have. It was very simple and the prices were very cheap.
I ordered the chicken chimichanga and two tacos. The chicken inside the chimichanga was outstanding. It was not covered in spices like other mexican restaurants, but it was shredded and very moist. The tacos were not anything special, but they were still good. If you go to this place order something with the shredded chicken. It is very good.
Downstairs in The Bean House, there is a little sports bar area. This is a cool little space with a bar, a few T.V.s and darts. We had a few beers down in the basement after dinner and it was a good time. The place was not that crowded and there were definitely places to sit, which is always nice.

Pizza Hut Buffet is the Place to Eat in St. Louis
Pizza Hut - Multiple Locations
I was working in DeSoto yesterday so we went to the Pizza Hut, because we wanted to eat the buffet. It is hard to find a quality buffet, but when I do it is magical. I did not expect much from a pizza hut buffet, but I expected a little more than this one had to offer. Pizza Hut was not busy at all.
The buffet offered a salad bar, various pizzas and a few desert items. The salad bar was usual, it was lettuce, a few toppings and about 5 different dressings. The pizzas that were offered were a little disappointing. There were usually about two different pizzas to chose from. Not much of a variety. The pizza buffet at CiCi's is much better. I would probably want to eat somewhere else before I ate there again, but the place was OK.
Price: $5.95 for the pizza buffet

Red Burrito is the Place to Eat in St. Louis
Red Burrito
For more places to eat in and around St. Louis visit www.stlstuff.com
I have seen the Red Burrito's being put into the Hardee's locations over the past few years. I guess Hardee's can't live on their burgers alone. Didn't Hardee's try to differentiate themselves from all of the other fast food restaurants by just offering burgers and nothing else? Well I guess they are not concentrating on their burgers, because those are not even that good anymore. But, to put in a Red Burrito? That just goes against their whole plan.
Anyway, I went into Hardee's on Lemay Ferry, in the Deirberg's Plaza to get breakfast one day and I saw that they have a salsa bar for the Red Burrito part of the place. Any place that has a salsa bar, or sauce bar of any kind is one step ahead of the other restaurants. I like to get as much of something or as little of something as I would like.
Red Burrito is just like Taco Bell. I was really hoping that Red Burrito would have a fish taco, but to my disappointment they didn't. I ordered a soft taco, and a chicken quesadilla. They tasted just like Taco Bell. But, if I had a choice of going to Taco Bell and Red Burrito, I would choose Red Burrito. This is solely based on the fact that Red Burrito has a salsa bar. Taco Bell should really look into getting one of those. I bet they will do much better business.
Prices: One soft taco and a chicken quesadilla - $5.71

Hardee's is the Place to Eat Breakfast in St. Louis
Hardee's - Multiple Locations
I went to Hardee's for breakfast the other day and it was delicious. Hardee's should just stick to breakfast, because their burgers are worthless. Breakfast is what they have going for them. I went to the South County location, and it is located on Lemay Ferry in the Deirbergs Plaza. I went on a Sunday morning around 10 a.m. and the place was packed. It was mainly old people. When I walked in the line was about four people deep. It took forever for me to get to the front. After I ordered it took forever for me to get my food. But the wait is well worth it. As I mentioned the place was packed with old people, so they were doing what old people do best, they were complaining like crazy about how long it took to get the food. It was kind of funny actually, because they all crowded together and would complain to one another. It was like a bunch of little girls starting gossip in a middle school. They were trying to be quiet, as to not let the workers hear.
Anyway, after the long wait and listening to old people complain I finally received my food. It was a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, an order of biscuits and gravy and a hash brown. The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was good. Much better than McDonald's, but the biscuit and gravy was not as good as McDonald's. I think McDonald's has some of the best biscuits and gravy around, they are very underrated. That is a different story. The Hardee's breakfast was good. The long wait sucked and so did the old people complaining, but the food was good.
Prices: About $5.50 for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, biscut and gravy, hashbrown and an orange juice.

Seamus McDaniel's has all of the bar food favorites like the potato skins, nachos, burgers, sandwiches and plenty of other great food. Seamus McDaniel's is also a great place to hang out and drink some beer.
I ordered the philly sandwich. The philly sandwich was piled high with roast beef, peppers, onions, and cream cheese. The cream cheese makes the sandwich. I wish more places would put cream cheese on their philly. The sandwich was huge and it was on of the better philly sandwiches that I have had in a while. This thing was good. The sandwich came with a side of fries. All of the sandwiches at Seamus McDaniel's are huge. I definitly got my monies worth at Seamus McDaniel's. I would go back and order the same thing again. The sandwich was great.

Show-Me's is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Show-Me's - Multiple Locations
We went to the Show-Me's on the famous St. Louis Landing, because we were working at a place on Washington Ave. It was weird going to the landing, because I have not been there since my days of being under 21 and being 21, and I have not been there in a few years, except to on drunken nights when some one gets a bright idea to take a cab to the President Casino. But, in that case we go to the President, try not to get kicked out and then go back to my friends resting place in Soulard.
Back to Show-Me's. The inside looked like a bar I would like to be in. It was smoky and looked like a bar. They had a row of tables and a row of booths for seating, and all of the tables were filled around noon. It was a kind of place that I would like to go with the wife, or friends and have a few drinks. But, the food was unexpectedly good, and cheap. Show-Me's has a lunch menu, and all of the sandwiches on there are under $6. They even come with fries or a salad. Show-Me's tries to copy off of the Hooter's outfits. But, the talent in Show-Me's is not as good as the talent in Hooter's. But, who cares, the food is much better, and much cheaper at Show-Me's
The food was good. I ordered the club sandwich. It was a roast beef, ham, and bacon sandwich, and it was a hot sandwich. It was very good and cheesy. I was feeling healthy so I ordered the salad as well. The salad was nothing special. It was just lettuce, and cheese. The dressing that comes with the salad is a pre-packaged ranch. But, the club was very good and I suggest checking out Show-Me's for lunch.
Prices: About $6 for a sandwich and fries or a salad
