Uncle Bill’s

Hands down, Uncle Bill’s is the finest greasy spoon in St. Louis. Not only are they open 24 hours, but the menu spans the spectrum: pancakes-steaks, spring chicken-crepes. The restaurant, located on the busy Kingshighway thoroughfare, is a great place to go after a long night of partying or studying late. The people-watching is exquisite, and the staff fast-moving, friendly, and down home. Not recommended for pregnant women or those with allergies, as smoking is allowed. Stop by for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a good hot cup of coffee. - Cathryn D. Blue
