Uncle Bills


Uncle Bill's  
3427 S Kingshighway Blvd
St Louis, MO 63139



The ambiance:
The moment you walk in the door the smell is overwhelming. Strange smells, kinda like a cross between an ashtray and a sweaty dog. Truly a good fragrance to start your dining experience. Right!
Grimy coffee mugs waiting on the table - purportedly clean, until you see that there is some women's forensic lip imprint in lip stick still plastered to the lip of the mug.
The decor with it's dirty brown trimming and filthy carpeting I would say is screaming for a visit by Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares or Food Networks – Robert Ervine's Restaurant Impossible this one needs to be top on their list.
Muttering zombi like waitresses scurrying back and forth across the floor trying to look busy.
The food:
In a word - dreadful.
My eggs, scrambled, where the only thing not disgusting, however the credit for that I think can be assigned to the carton from which they were poured, and not to the credit of the cook.
Characteristic cheap burnt diner coffee. I'm use to Cajun or Bosnian coffee but this is more like Lisa Douglas' coffee from Green Acres.
Our bacon was deep fried shoe leather, leaving a foul greasiness in our mouth with a flavor only a dog could enjoy; boys and girls can we spell Purina Beggin Strips ??.
The sausage links where midget cylinders of god-awfulness. Not pleasant to look at nor taste and had no 'snap' to them whatsoever they seemed like they were boiled and dipped in grease. I feel they might have been the reason for my extended stay in the commode the next morning but That's just my opinion.
By their historic landmark reputation Uncle Bill's should have been the highlight of our night, right? NOPE. The heaviness of grease and bland starch in each bite will not only clog your arteries and have you running for the bathroom. But, will have you wondering why you shelled out so much money just to be tortured.
I rated them 2 stars just for the many good memories the place brings back from the good ole days, and certainly not for their overpriced, extremely low quality of food, atmosphere and service.



In short – Try Quick Trip across the street!!!
  • Pros: open 24hrs
  • Cons: bad food, overpriced, smells awful, dirty, and automatic 18% gratuity.
