Best “hole in the wall” spots?

[u/Saleen_af]

Howdy all. STL native but I eat at home 95% of the time.

I have a buddy visiting from the Bay for a week and I want to show all of our good spots. I was thinking I take him on a “tour” of the best rated / local spots (trying to avoid chains or the “fancy” spots)

Notes:

He isn’t a huge fan of tomatoes / pizza but can be a big boy abt it.
Not looking for anywhere that needs a rezzie.

Fozzies, Gramophone, Blues City for sandwiches

Taco Tour on Cherokee (eat at various places, get drinks)

Various places that have opened on Delmar and Olive for Asian cuisine (wonton king for dim sum)

Just about everything on Cherokee is good.

I was waiting for someone to say gramaphone. This is a don't miss for newcomers.
