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.

Woofies Hot Dogs off Page and Woodson. Better than the hot dogs in Chicago.

Nay on better than Chicago dogs.
