Eating delicious food is one thing, but there's something about dining at a restaurant with a unique ambiance that makes it a truly memorable experience. While strolling down Locust Street in St. Louis, there's one fantastic restaurant that you should check out and it's marked by a water fountain in front.
The Fountain on Locust is considered to be the most photographed restaurant in all of St. Louis.
And once you step in, you'll see why.
Its one-of-a-kind hand painted art deco interior will make you feel like you've traveled through time and landed in the 1920's.
If you sit in one of the side booths, you'll be able to listen to the only Restaurant Radio Comedy Serial, Soap Hospital.
Every two minutes, a new episode is played. So if conversation runs dry with your lunch or dinner date, hopefully that'll provide some talking points to break up the silence.
Even the restaurant bathrooms look unique.
At night, the place is illuminated with unique hanging lights that make the blue walls glow.
But we didn't just come here to stare at the beautiful walls. Let's talk about the amazing food.
The Fountain on Locust has one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in Missouri and you'll want to try it out. The Royal Grill is a sweet and savory blend of white cheddar, mozzarella and
Fuji apple slices on grilled whole grain wheat bread.
They have specials each day of the week, so you'll want to visit more than once.
Friday's special is, "The Champion." Italian meatballs, fresh marinara and
melted mozzarella on a baked baguette . Mmm. Tasty.
Save some room for dessert, because their ice cream selection is impeccable.
In addition to the World's Smallest Sundae, they also boast the World's Smallest Ice Cream Cone.
For adults, their artisan cocktails and martinis are always a hit.
In addition to beer and wine, The Fountain on Locust also has an impressive lineup of signature cocktails and ice cream martinis.
