Today’s on-the-go lifestyle has you running from place to place like never before. The grocery store, the dry cleaner, soccer practice, and more are all typical daily destinations. Sometimes you can forget about dinner. The fast-food drive-thru gets old fast. Sit-down restaurants understand your busy life and offer curbside pickup to make your life that much easier, and often you’ll wait for less time than that drive-thru line. Here’s a rundown of where you can go for curbside pickup in the St. Louis, Missouri, area.
58hundred Butchery and Garden
This is a unique restaurant located at, you guessed it, 5800 Southwest Ave. in St. Louis. 58hundred is open for dinner only and has one of the most unique menus around. Starters like Brussels sprout tacos, smoked shrimp risotto, and Nashville’s pimiento cheese toast are delicious appetizers. Add a green or chopped salad for the veggie lovers.
You can keep it casual with sandwiches like the grilled three-cheese or their signature 58 burger topped with white cheddar and served on a brioche bun. A popular entree is the Amish chicken, smoked and oven-roasted with whipped golden potatoes and finished with home-style chicken gravy. You can opt for the heartier New York Strip steak with their housemade The Block steak sauce. The pork chop is grilled to mouthwatering perfection and is served with a white bean cassoulet and house-smoked pork belly.
The best part of this curbside pickup restaurant is that it’s also a butcher and market. If you need to cook dinner, you can order your protein cut fresh and delivered with all the ingredients you need right to your car. They even offer a family meal that serves six people.
Avenue
Classic American cuisine is served up fresh and delicious at Avenue on North Meremac Avenue in Clayton, Missouri. Your busy day doesn’t have to turn into a leftovers night because you can order from the entire Avenue menu and use their free curbside pickup.
Start with their signature onion soup, but not before asking about the soup of the day. Classic mixed greens and Caesar salads are served alongside unique options like the Nicoise salad topped with seared tuna, green beans, potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and olives.
The lunch menu is a small assortment of creative dishes. Quiche, avocado toast, and a penne Bolognese are all as delicious as they are unique. If you want, you could simply order the grilled cheese. They even offer the impossible vegetarian burger.
Balkan Treat Box
If you want to treat yourself, a pit stop at the Balkan Treat Box will do the trick. It’s run by Loryn Nalic, a James Beard Award semi-finalist, so you know the food is extraordinary. The menu is full of creative Balkan-inspired dishes like Balik Ekmek, the grilled fish of the day served in Somun with sumac salad, lettuce, and tomato and finished with a zesty sauce.
There are so many great restaurants offering curbside pickup these days. The next time you feel like leaving the cooking to someone else, don’t hesitate. Order online from any of these restaurants and pick it up curbside. Your taste buds will thank you.
