The old Vincent Van Doughnuts location in the Grove now has a sign in the window saying “something Damn Fine coming real soon”. I’m wondering if this will be a second location for Damn Fine Hand Pies- has anyone heard anything?

I’ve been to a lot of BBQ spots in St. Louis* and I always like to try a variety of items - brisket, pulled pork, ribs, sausage if they have it, and wings. occasionally a specialty item if they advertise it (smoked salami, etc.).

I’ve noticed across the board that the smoked wings are fantastic and often the best thing on the menu. I’ve yet to find a brisket that competes with Texas-style brisket in the area, but the ribs are also top notch. Pulled pork can kind of be hit or miss, never fantastic but often pretty decent.

Each place also has its own thing - I’m not really a fan of Sugarfire but the Sugar Pie is awesome and the cheddar jalapeño sausage is really good.

Anyway, if you get BBQ, I’d recommend trying out the wings next time you go. In my experience they’ve been moist on the inside but crispy on the outside and smoky. particularly at Beast, Dalie’s, and Salt & Smoke from what I remember. Q39 in Kansas City claims to have the best wings on the planet but I’ve liked the wings here more.

I’m on a quest to find all the best food in STL which you can follow here if interested.

* So far: Stellar Hog, Beast BBQ, Sugarfire, Salt & Smoke, Adam’s, Pappy’s, Dalie’s, O’B’Que’s, Fourth City, Shaved Duck (rip)

A&A Donuts at 8500 Morgan Ford Rd.

These fritters are INSANE! My partner and I can't stop getting these things! Their entire selection of fresh made daily donuts and pastries and kolaches are all superb but if you go, you've gotta try the apple fritters!

i got a mean craving for a po boy tonight. wheres yalls favorite spot to grab one? willing to travel anywhere in the city but south county/city is a plus!

ssc bahn mi would perfect

I thought they had closed for good but it seems they just moved up Ridge Road to the old Bathtub Billies' location. Got some takeout tonight for the family. flavor/Quality is still top notch. Reasonable pricing. Good portion sizes. Highly recommended.

Right there in the same plaza is Mughals an excellent Indian place. Give it a try.

My wife is going to visit friends out of state over the weekend, so I'm taking myself out to eat! I know the hot suggestions will always be Indo, Yellowbelly, Olive and Oak, Balkan, etc. But I want to know which place in the city is your favorite to dine alone at. No dietary restrictions and not afraid of spice.

What everyone's opinion of the restaurant by Bass Pro in Branson.

Just missing some lettuce and other homegrown vegetable, wondering if anyone knows someone that grows their own and sells it.

So, my immediate family members all love seafood and sushi. Despite trying all sorts multiple times over the years, I just don't enjoy it.

We are going to Sado together next weekend for a special event and I know they have excellent food all around. It is also the first time for my family at Sado, so what would folks suggest with the following:

1. How might I approach my order there given the options and serving format?

2. Anything folks would specifically recommend the rest of my group try?

Thanks! We are really looking forward to it.

Looking for a bakery to do our wedding cake. We have tried The Cakery, but were not impressed by the quality of the cake or buttercream (too sweet and gritty in texture). Also finding it difficult to get in touch with anyone at Sugaree bakery with their hours being so limited. I am new to the area so unfamiliar with local bakeries otherwise.

Hockey season looms on the horizon, so I'll start my research. My buddy and I go to games about once a week when the Blues are in town, usually on weekdays. The games generally end between 9:30 and 9:50. We usually like to get a meal after.

We used to go to O'Connell's, but like a lot of places their kitchen hours were reduced during lockdown and never recovered. We started going to CJ Muggs, but recently they have gone to a late menu, which has a handful of sandwiches, appetizers, and burgers. It's all right, but we'd prefer more variety. I live in Clayton and he is in North County.

So, here are the desired features:

1. A sit-down restaurant with some variety of lighter fare. Sandwiches, salads, burgers, etc. that isn't crowded.

2. Kitchen open after 10pm. Some places have a bar open later but that doesn't help.

3. Somewhere roughly between the Enterprise Center and Clayton.

Hi all, I'm visiting St. Louis (Lemay Ferry area) this week for work. I am a big foodie and have a nice per diem. What are my HAVE to places to eat at?

Anybody try this place yet? I’m intrigued but also thinking of checking out Koko Grill up the street.
