I guess I'm looking for something more unique to St. Louis, we do have most of the restaurants here in Kentucky (only 20 minutes from Cincinnati, OH so it's not total hick country). Surprisingly all of the girls at our Hooters have all their teeth!
Look up Pappy's Smokehouse on google. They were on the travel channel man vs food. Also, you can't get more St Louis than "The Hill" try this link
http://www.diningstl.com/TheHill.htm I would recommend Mama's, Rigazzai's, or Zia's. Most of these places have a web page and reviews on Yelp. However, most of these restaurants are in neighborhoods, and parking is on the street. It's not a bad area at all though.
