Riverside Diner - St. Louis

A true hidden gem ... The food is on another level!! If you 're looking for a great breakfast or lunch definitely check this place out. A bit off the beaten path but absolutely worth it.Food: 5/5

Cool old-fashioned greasy spoon in an area of South City you would never expect. In the transition zone between residential and river related industrial. Gives a vibe of a different place and time. Inside isn't much to write about, but does add to the vibe in it's historical accents and quaintness.I got the slinger and I will admit I have had better. It was fine, just wasn't made exceptionally well. Coffee was good and everyone else I was with seemed to enjoy themselves. Service was friendly.Parking is either on-street or in an old lot across the intersection. Not ideal if you are shepherding a few kids, but it also isn't a busy thoroughfare in the weekends.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available.Parking: Street parking mixed with a little lot catty-cornered from the restaurant. It borders an industrial area so there are options, but just feels gritty.

Love this place, the food give you that real diner feel and taste.. which I love! The staff makes you feel very welcome at all times and never acts like they are too busy to chat for a few seconds! Shout out to Gabe always a pleasure!

If you like a small local family run diner, you'll love this place. Doesn't look like much on the outside, infact wasn't sure we were at the right place but it is a cute little diner. Be sure to check hours of operation and go early. We went on a Sunday at 10am and had to wait 45min. Food was excellent. All items we ordered, Biscuits and gravy, omelette, pancakes, and ham were great. Server and atmosphere friendly. We will for sure go back!

Great neighborhood diner serving my favorites: veggie omlette, rye toast, great bacon, breakfast country potatoes. All at a very reasonable price. Attentive service. My friend I will be back!
