The Majestic is a welcome dose of humble, stick-to-your-ribs diner fare in the fancy-pants Central West End. Feast on a classic American breakfast of bacon and eggs or sausage and pancakes, or a more recent American dish like the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Or you can opt for one of the Greek specialties. The gyros are popular, and feta cheese makes a tasty addition to your basic omelet. A lazy morning with a bottomless cup of coffee and the Sunday papers is a fine St. Louis tradition, and in nice weather the patio offers some of the city's best people-watching.

I will never go back there again and I hope you won't either. Save yourself some discomfort and go somewhere that won't annihilate your digestive system.
On July 8 through 10, the Central West End's Majestic Restaurant (4900 Laclede Avenue; 314-361-2011) will be hosting its 50th anniversary bash. The grill-out event will take place outside the restaura... More »
Forget the froufrou coffee bars. When it's just time to sit around and read the morning paper among a wide-ranging cross-section of suits and coveralls, lawyers and truck drivers, old and young, black and white and tan and yellow, nothing beats a stop at the Majestic, the decades-old corner diner at Euclid and Laclede. If you're new, the very first question is usually "Coffee?" -- and if you've been in more than a few times in the past, a full cup is in front of you even before you're fully... More »
