Buttery Restaurant - Saint Albans

Small but mighty! I love the food and service we always get here!

Stepping into The Buttery Diner was like stepping back in time, with its classic diner décor and friendly staff. The aroma of coffee and sizzling food filled the air, whetting my appetite for the pork chop meal I'd come for. My order arrived promptly, presented on a vintage diner plate. The centerpiece was a bone-in pork chop, cooked to a perfect golden brown, with grill marks that whispered of deliciousness. As I cut into it, the juices ran clear, revealing a juicy and tender interior. The seasoning was simple, allowing the natural flavors of the pork to shine through. Each bite was a symphony of meaty goodness, perfectly balanced with the mild savory notes. Accompanying the pork were two fluffy mashed potatoes, creamy and buttery without being overwhelming. The green beans were fresh and crisp, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper. They provided a welcome counterpoint to the richness of the pork and potatoes. No diner experience is complete without dessert, and I opted for a classic slice of apple pie. The crust was flaky and buttery, encasing a warm and gooey apple filling that was bursting with flavor. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top added the perfect touch of sweet creaminess. Throughout my meal, the service was attentive and friendly. My server was always there to refill my water and answer any questions I had, making me feel welcome and comfortable. Overall, The Buttery Diner was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was charming. I left feeling satisfied and happy, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a classic diner experience with a modern twist.

Best diner in St. Louis. So cheap and so tasty. Crew there also has a great attitude.

Much better then years ago when I was there last time. AND YES THEY ARE CASH ONLY..

It’s nice to have somewhere to go late at night since so many other spots have closed. Cozy good food
