Bro - what are we doing here??? Getting real damn good sandwiches…read more Okay - initially I was wanting to buy a whole chicken and this place came up as a local butcher. They definitely had whole chickens, wings, and quarters but also so many cuts of beef, sausages, and so much more. It's a really nice Italian market inside with produce and dry goods available as well. I got my whole chicken, we ordered also two sandwiches, got a loaf of bread, and went home happy. We absolutely will be back! Also: you can get your own fresh squeezed OJ here and that's great!

Another quick jaunt from St. Louis totally worth the trip!!…read more The Brown Bag Bistro is located on the main drag in historic downtown Alton. They offer a smallish dining space. The menu offers a wide variety of sandwiches, soup, and appetizers. Hop in line and place your order at the counter. Snag a seat, and prepare for a treat! We ordered a few different sandwiches and were pleased with all of them. The portions were generous, and served with a side of your choice. The stand out was the lobster bisque. Rich and creamy and delicious! I'd drive back just for a bowl of soup. Pro tip: we highly recommend the wine slush. The peach was a fan favorite. Wine, ice, and fruit blended together is a winner!!

We only waited like maybe 20 minutes for our food, it was a nice day and we sat outside so it really didn't matter :) I had a burger, it was perfect! I got my with chips...again perfect :) Atmosphere was fun and relaxing outside. My wife said her sandwich was great too. We will be back no doubt. All the employees were really nice along the way, no issues there. What stood out to me was the amount of traffic where you order was nuts, but they were all nice and happy to help with our first visit. Thanks all we appreciate it!

When I read some of these Saint Louis area reviews on food trucks, I laugh because a lot act like…read morethe food trucks just came this area around 6 years ago and it's a new hip thing. I also have to remind myself that a lot of the people saying this in their reviews may not originally be from the St Louis area (which is ok) or they have grown up in an area in St Louis that never had them. As far as I can remember, there were food trucks around my way back in the early 1980's. However, when I talk to the old heads, they go even further back to the 1960's in St Louis (and again that all depends on where you lived). So while the industry itself is not new to Saint Louis, my food experience with Street life is. When the Street Life truck pulled up at my location, I decided to do something I never do: try an oyster po'boy sandwich other than my mother's. ) It's just something I never would do, until now and wow the oysters were fried to a caramel brown perfection. The roll was fresh and nicely toasted. The pickles onions and aioli sauce complemented the fried oysters extremely well.  Fries were hot and crispy. The staff was courteous and nice. The wait time was about 10 minutes. 5/5 If the Street Life truck is ever in your vicinity, don't act brand new... Check them out!!!

I wasn't sure what to get so I chose the Gumbo with Chicken, Okra, Andouille Pork Sausage, & Rice. It came with oyster crackers and a little corn muffin. It wasn't spicy but it was delicious! My coworkers have mentioned how delicious the lobster roll and some of the other items are. I'm sure you can imagine how few lunch choices there are in East St. Louis. Please keep coming in on Thursdays! We will be back!

The menu is simple but well thought out with plenty of options for fresh sandwiches and salads. You can choose from the menu or build your own. The interior was inviting, restrooms were clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I say fresh? Oh yeah! All of the ingredients seem super fresh. I went for the Redbird Club on multigrain bread this time around. A simple yet delicious sandwich was presented and quickly devoured. The next time around, I'm going to have to try one of their salads. They have so many fresh ingredients to choose from, you can't go wrong.

The half slab comes with two sides and packs the same flavor punch as the original location in the city. Ordered at the counter, and the food was brought out before we sat down. The ribs were meaty, tender and full of the signature applewood smoked flavor that you know and love! 6 different flavors of bbq sauce are on each table. The space is way smaller than the city location, so very conducive to carrying out. Highly recommended!

Stepping through the front door transports the guest to Mexico City...the bad part of town. There was only one other patron there, who looked like 'The Ugly' from 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' movie. We approached the order desk (set up to order, then sit and wait for it), and the lady at the front counter didn't even want to make eye contact with us....it was apparent we were NOT welcome there. There were two other ladies cooking behind the counter, in the small kitchen area, and were all eating with their fingers out of this large open air pot which had some sort of meat in it. No gloves were present. The restaurant is connected to a Mexican food store, and a small boy came around the corner and watched us. I was needing a beer at this point, so I asked if they sold beer. She had a puzzled look on her face and rattled off something in Spanish to the kid, who ran next door and asked someone something. He came back and said something to her, which in turn she replied in broken English to us that they did not officially SELL beer, but they had some in a cooler and they could sell us a limited number. Hmm... So we sat down with the menu, in a booth covered in tid bits from another diner or two, smeared with grease in areas (the cleanest table we found). It was tough to concentrate on the menu with Pedro, their pet fly, buzzing my head. It took all of 2 minutes looking at the menu and feeling the bad vibe this place had, to exit the building without saying a word to the staff. They did not try to stop us. Think we dodged a bullet there! So NO, I would NOT recommend this place...other than to the Health Department or Immigration.
