A question about this place:
Looking for Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on road trip - will be on I64 to St. Louis then I70 to Indy, then headed back to Charleston, WV (not sure what direction taking). Does anyone have suggestions on where to stop? Thanks!

St. Louis

Going through St. Louis on I-64, there are a lot of good places to eat, like Cunetto House of Pasta on the Hill just South if I-64. If you are really looking for old-time classic drive-ins and dives, however, you can’t beat Carl’s Drive-in on Manchester road in Rock Hill. Or O’Connells Pub at I-44 and Kingshighway in the City of St. Louis. The tiny EAT RITE Diner is downtown 3 blocks south of Busch Stadium which abuts I-64 – on 7th street. And you should try to get to Ted Drewes Frozen Custard on Chippewa and Jamison in South City of St. Louis. Ted Drewes serves a lot of people but they figured out how to do it quickly. They have been doing it from that location since 1929, I believe, and there are always lines of people including celebrities who are in town. Blueberry Hill in University city at Delmar and Skinker is a classic hamburger and music place. Chuck Berry plays there once a month. For just pizza, I would try Pi in University City near Blueberry Hill, Obama’s favorite. He flew the owner to Washington to make pizza for his family. Or try Dewey’s pizza in U City or Downtown Kirkwood on Kirkwood Boulevard. Hope this helps.
