Which St. Louis restaurant is worth the drive? Vote now in round 2 of our poll
Note: We have closed this poll early due to low participation.
While the metro-east boasts plenty of popular local restaurants, sometimes it might be worth a drive across the river to switch it up and hit your favorite spot in downtown St. Louis, on The Hill or in another St. Louis-area neighborhood.
Voting is now open in the second round of our poll-style competition to find the St. Louis eatery most worth the drive. The top vote-getters will move on to the subsequent round of the competition. The poll is not scientific. It’s just for fun!
Readers submitted more than two dozen St. Louis area restaurants for the first round of our poll, including spots serving tacos, burgers, pasta, steak, Chinese food and more, and five restaurants progressed to the second round.
The second round of voting will be open until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3. The next round should begin shortly after.
If you’re interested in some of our previous bracket competitions, don’t miss southwestern Illinois’ choice for the best coffee shop or best pizza place.
