Olivette Diner

10/10 You get large portions for good prices, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly. I love the ascetic and old time diner feel.

I’ve been to the St. Louis area twice in my life. Olivette is the new-to-me area on my second visit. I have now eaten at Olivette Diner twice in 2 days for breakfast. We found it thanks to reviews and I will work it in on every subsequent trip. It is obvious a place that regulars go. That always tells me a restaurant’s staff is good and the food better. Malinda and her staff are welcoming, attentive, and you won’t leave hungry. You can even get a Coke to go! I’m sure there are other beverages, but Coke is my jam and Olivette Diner and Malinda filled me up. I’m also a chili girl. My chili both days was exactly what I wanted, though I added a grilled cheese the second day. I can’t eat eggs, but my goodness the breakfast options looked good. Cash is king. We will definitely be back.

This place is exactly what you picture when you think of a "diner." Very friendly atmosphere and great server. We had a long wait time because they were busy but she gave us an extra piece of pie which was sweet.

Olivette Diner has what you would expect from a diner. The food is standard, I premise made food. The quality of the food is average for dinners. I believe they do not take credit cards, we paid in cash, so i could be wrong. The diner has a homey, regular patrons atmosphere. I would return but I do prefer the experience of coffee shops more, even though you will pay more at the coffee shop of equal amounts of food.

YUM! I have driven by this place a million times (ok maybe a thousand) and finally stopped in today and now I am regretting not going in sooner. It was shortly before 11 am on a Thursday and the place was packed! That was my first sign it must be good, and it sure was, the French toast is absolutely amazing!! Bring cash or a check, they don’t take credit cards.
