Sunday morning breakfast…read more I cannot believe how cheap this place is. It's a rundown gas station turned into a diner. A little boy is cleaning tables, which was very refreshing. I wanted to leave him a tip. It appears everyone knows each other and gives you an eyeball when you walk in as a stranger. It was fine though. Not the fastest service but super friendly. Coffee was good, food was good enough. I was surprised the gravy was from a package and needed pepper. That glassy sheen that tells you it's not from scratch. A down-home place like this, I would expect they would value homemade staples. Biscuits weren't fresh either. Bacon was good and crispy but tasted like it was cooked in burnt grease. All was edible and did the job, just not a destination for food is all. Nice and cool dining room on a hot morning.

We had the all you can eat fish and shrimp and it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.read more

Very disappointing experience. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it…read morewas not prepared properly. The eggs were overcooked, and the sausage was barely warm. When I brought this to the waitress's attention, I was told there were no refunds, and she brought me a new plate--even though I clearly explained that I did not want another plate. After waiting over an hour, we needed to leave and simply wanted the meal removed from our bill. We were again told they would not refund the meal. It took raising our voices before they finally agreed to remove the charge. The long wait, poor food quality, and especially the way the situation was handled made for a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I had a terrible experience here. The wait time was absolutely ridiculous--we waited over an hour…read moreafter ordering and still didn't receive any food, while tables around us who arrived later were already being served. To make things worse, our waitress was extremely rude and dismissive the entire time. Her attitude alone made the situation even more frustrating. At one point, some of her comments even came across as inappropriate, which was completely unacceptable. Overall, the service was disorganized, unprofessional, and honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We were on our way to New Orleans from St. Louis and had only been on the road for a short time and…read morewell, one of the kids needed a pit stop. Initially we went in with the idea of just making a quick in and out but decided we'd grab lunch. What a great surprise! They had a rather benign looking steam-table buffet set up for lunch. Was not expecting much, but ended up feasting on some of the best catfish I can remember, anywhere. They make their own breading mix and also have a source for fresh catfish. It was prepared exceptionally and they only put enough out to keep it warm for who's in there. They don't prepare it way ahead and let it sit under a light. We followed the lunch buffet with their home made pies. The banana cream pie was out of this world. Nothing about this place is flashy, but don't be scared away by that. This is one of those classic places that you stumble upon and won't be able to wait until you get by it next time so you can stop and enjoy. The service was exceptional and they were genuinely happy to see you and wanted to make sure that you had a great experience. Would highly recommend if you are ever in the area around Perryville, make the stop here. You won't be disappointed...unless you are looking for one of those plastic, themed places that lack any authenticity.

Tucked in a typical strip mall, just past the Meremac bridge heading south on Lemay Ferry it's a surprise of a good old diner.

The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms, and both were very good. The tenderloin was on Texas toast-unusual, but a great idea!

Dined here on a quick visit to STL and it was wonderful! My husband found Southwest Diner on Yelp…read morewhile searching for brunch spots near our hotel, and the 1200+ positive reviews sold it for us. We found a parking spot on the street nearby, and we were able to be seated right away on the patio. There were other patrons, but it wasn't terribly busy by any means. The menu is expansive, with lots of ways to customize your order with different breads, toppings, or meats. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with Tinga Chicken, and my husband ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. We also shared an order of the seasonal Pumpkin Spiked Pancakes. Everything came out hot and fresh, and every bite was delicious! The pancakes are made with cornmeal, and they were flavorful but not too sweet. The gravy for the biscuits is made with their house sausage, which makes it taste even better. I'd definitely return to Southwest Diner the next time I'm in town!

That illusion fades a little if you sit outside on a humid St. Louis summer day, but the vibe inside is great. The food is consistently tasty, the Bloody Marys are solid, and the whole place has a classic diner feel with a Southwest twist. There's usually a wait on summer weekends, so just keep that in mind, but it's definitely worth it.

I ordered the Country Boy, half order of biscuits and gravy, two scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes and 3 strips of bacon. You get a lot of food for under $10.
