Description

Thank goodness former Ikette Robbie Montgomery put down her microphone and picked up her mixing spoon years back. For now in St. Louis there is Sweetie Pie's, hallowed ground for soul-food lovers. This grub is the real deal, and this lady can cook. Feast on smothered pork steak, baked chicken, ribs, Salisbury steak (main-course meats change from day to day) and side it up with classics like mac 'n' cheese, okra, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and gravy, or cabbage and greens. The original location in north county is more like a lunchbox diner; this much newer one in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood has nestled nicely into its more genteel, spacious digs. See listing for flagship location under "North."

    One could, in theory, head to Sweetie Pie's location in the Grove neighborhood any day just for the sides: cabbage flavored with smoky bacon, tangy mac & cheese, thick yams, black-eyed peas and generous hunks of cornbread. But you might find a specific day especially mouthwatering, for at this most holy chapel of cafeteria-style soul food, the main courses rotate weekly. Grand matron Robbie Montgomery (a former backup singer for Ike and Tina Turner) does cook up wings, chops and steaks... More »

  • 2008 | Best Soul Food Restaurant

    Robbie Montgomery's mac 'n' cheese is better than your mom's, but you don't have to tell Mom that. What she doesn't know won't hurt her, and this isn't even the first time you've cheated on her with your newfound sweetie pie, and it won't be the last. You tried to resist the allure of this affair, but you can't stop lining up for the best cafeteria-style buffet you've ever had in your life -- impossibly, the same stuff former Ikette Robbie Montgomery cooked in an electric skillet set on...

  • 2006 | Best Soul Food

    Great as it is, the original Sweetie Pie's has always suffered from three things: location, location and location. The trip out to the original shop on West Florissant Avenue in Dellwood can take longer than the meal itself. Owner Robbie Montgomery's collard greens are worth the trip, but what's a city kid to do when she's got a hankering for Sweetie Pie's fried catfish but can't spare the half-hour in transit Montgomery must have heard the city's stomach growling, because earlier this year...

    By Rose Martelli | Wed, December 14, 2005

    Eating soul food is, to me, like listening to big-band music, gazing at the works of the post-Impressionists, or watching any of Woody Allen's movies up to and including Manhattan Murder Mystery. Every time I eat soul food, I can't imagine why any... More »

    Thank You
