For years, I've gone to concerts. It's tradition to hit up a 24-hour diner for food after a fun night of music. Sadly, Covid killed off most 24 hour sit down diners. We had been going to Denny's after the last few shows, but their quality has gotten horrible. This brings me to my visit at Dave's Diner. After we saw Green Day, I did a quick Google search and found this one beacon of light open 24 hours. I'm so glad we stopped in! The guy who waited on us and cooked our food was awesome! My country fried steak was tender and cooked to perfection. So many times, places overcook it, and it's tough. Not this man, he nailed it! The American fries I had as a side were also expertly cooked and very delicious. My over easy eggs were also exemplary. I took a few bites before I snapped a picture, but it looked so good! This is now my go-to post concert diner. If you're looking for excellent late night diner food, this is your place! I can't recommend it enough!

OK, so this place needs a little bit of an update to it. But don’t judge a book by its cover. Friendly staff and actually very good food. I had a western omelette with some hashbrowns and it was very good. If they put a little love into the atmosphere of this place would be a gem

Great atmosphere similar to Waffle House. This is a locals favorite, where customers and servers may know each other. It’s not a huge place so seating fills quick. The restaurant offers very affordable food, typical of any local breakfast diner (bacon, eggs, toast, slinger, coffee, etc.). I’ve been here about 20 times for breakfast and never had a bad experience. This is a cash only restaurant, so come prepared.

Came here with some friends after a concert in St. Louis. We all agreed this was the best food we have had from a locally owned place in a long time!! It is cash only so be prepared for that when you go in, but it is so worth it!!!! I got pancakes, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs and it was phenomenal. I live over an hour from St. Louis but I will definitely be coming back when I visit STL! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A wonderful place, has an old time feel. The food is excellent, did not take long to get served. We have decided this is where we will eat each time the grandson has a football game in the area. The prices are as good as the food.
