6 "Casual Weeknight Dinner" restaurants in St. Louis.
A good casual weeknight dinner spot is hard to find. It’s a step above a make-your-own bowl place, but not somewhere you’ll need a reservation. It shouldn’t be too expensive, you should be able to talk instead of shout, and your dinner shouldn’t take more than an hour. These spots do it all.
The Crow’s Nest is a bar in Maplewood that’s perfect for a first date or a low key night - with beer specials, pinball machines, and bar food.
Eating at The Piccadilly at Manhattan in Maplewood is a little like eating at home, with comfort food, a patio, and a friendly staff.
Pi Pizzeria serves some of our favorite pizza in the city, and we’re especially fans of their Delmar Loop location for the outdoor seating.
The Fountain on Locust is a Midtown an old school spot with diner classics and specialty ice cream cocktails.
Cafe Natasha is both a gin bar and a restaurant, so head to this Tower Grove spot for a gin cocktail and some authentic Persian food.
Peacemaker in Benton Park flies in fresh seafood daily, so head here for better oysters and lobster rolls than you’ll get anywhere else.
