Menu, as of 6/21.

Big fan of The Diner....I have going there for years. They have daily specials, breakfast all day, burgers, and other options (chicken Philly, one of my favorites). Check their hours, as I just ate there , and they closed @1 p.m..

You won't find better service or bigger portions per dollar point blank period! Absolutely impressed. Classic feel as well.

Fast. Efficient. And consistent. The Diner is a landmark for anyone who works in, or around, Sauget. Excellent service and quick takeout.

I had to wait 45 minutes for pancakes. And there wasn't even that many people the restaurant.

A classic STL staple. Come for the authentic sodas and stay for the dill pickle soup…read more This classic restaurant has sandwiches, soup, burgers, ice cream, and salads. A great place to enjoy a lunch or just a bit of ice cream to satisfy a sweet tooth. The inside is small so it may be hard to enjoy with large groups. The table spacing is compact so it can be a little tricky moving with a walker or wheelchair. Street parking only

Extremely unsafe for anyone with food allergies or celiac disease…read more We told the staff multiple times that we are gluten-free and vegan, and specifically asked whether the pita and hummus were safe for us. We were repeatedly told that they were. When the food came out, I asked twice more if the pita was gluten-free and was again told yes. We ate some of it based on those assurances. I finally went and asked another employee, who then told us that the pita DOES contain gluten. This is not a minor mistake for someone with celiac disease. We specifically disclosed the dietary restriction, repeatedly verified the food, and were given incorrect information multiple times before eating it. What makes this especially concerning is that The Fountain on Locust promotes itself as being allergy-friendly. If a restaurant is going to make that claim, staff need to understand food allergies and celiac disease and be able to accurately identify what is and is not safe. We would never have eaten the pita if we had been given correct information. After this experience, I would not trust this restaurant with a serious food allergy or celiac disease. Management needs to address its allergen procedures and staff training before someone gets seriously hurt.

Very, very cutesy, quaint restaurant. When my friend and I arrived, it was open seating at the…read moretime, so we just grabbed some bar seats in front of the kitchen area bc all the tables were sewed up. The space is pretty tiny. There are only about 12 to 13 seating options, with only about 5 or 6 of them being non-bar height options. Nikki was our server; she was awesome, helpful & attentive! Everything is a la carte. Boooooooo! Lol. I'm not a huge fan of restaurants that serve a la carte. But whatevs. I started with the Charleston drink. It was good and strong; came out in a fancy box w a lil smoke. It was semi dramatic, lol. We decided to order the collards and spinach artichoke dip to start with. It was good. It gave spinach and artichoke dip for the most part. The seasoned saltine crackers that accompanied that were not my favorite, but not the worst, & we had to ask for more to finish the dip (we were unexpectedly charged for them -_____-). I wish it was pita bread or pita chips instead, but I guess the crackers are Lucy's special touch. We finally decide on food; she got the catfish po boy, I got the brisket sandwich. She said her sandwich was FIRE but I didn't try it so I can't speak to that unfortunately. My brisket sandwich was ok; it had queso on it and it was kinda cold which was wack. The sandwich was a decent size for sure, I just could have went for a different bread personally. The ciabatta bread overpowered the actual meat. I asked for bbq sauce to dip and eat pieces of the brisket. I want to come back and try the Brussels and catfish po boy myself.

We kicked off the evening at Little Lucy, the diner-meets-cocktail-bar brainchild of a…read moretwo-restaurant concept in the Grove, and naturally, we had to try both. Because who just eats at one place when you can aggressively commit to 2 places? At Little Lucy, I ordered The Charleston, which is their smoked old-fashioned, and yes, it comes with a whole dramatic tableside smoke show. It's like dinner theater but with bourbon. It tasted like a campfire if that campfire also happened to major in mixology. Alongside it, we got the collard greens and artichoke dip, which was creamy and earthy. Loved it?! Apps/drinks at Little Lucy. Dinner at Lucy Quinn. Be strategic!
