Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Feast Magazine and Tasting Table. Updated June 2026.
Tiffany's Original Diner · Maplewood
A nostalgic 24-hour diner open since 1960; the slinger stacks hash browns, your meat, and eggs under chili made fresh daily.

Larry Rugg's spot, heavy college-crowd energy. Two eggs any way, hash browns, hamburger patties, chili, toast. Super Slinger adds tamale or fried burrito.
Uncle Bill's Pancakes · Kingshighway
Open 24 hours, coffee cups never run dry. The go-to STL breakfast-at-4am slinger. Hash browns, eggs, sausage or hamburger patty, chili ladled on, shredded cheddar.
Southwest Diner · Ellendale
New Mexican twist. Red or green chile in place of traditional chili. 'Christmas style' gets you both. Two hamburger patties, peppery home fries.
