Cafe Manhattan Restaurant Review: Unless you’ve been to Café Manhattan, you may not think of Clayton as comfort food territory. It is, though, in this airy, roomy diner filled with authentic ’50s memorabilia. Soups are almost as good as Mom’s; the chili, while it falls into the overly tomato-y category, is surprisingly spicy for such a middle-of-the-road place. The menu includes the St. Louis classic sandwich (braunschweiger and onion, served here with lettuce, tomato and a Thousand Island-like sauce) and the classic Provel-topped, cracker-thin St. Louis-style pizza. Burgers are reliable, but why not try a fat and juicy meatloaf sandwich and some hand-cut fries? And don’t skip the house-made desserts. Expect lots of families here, plus some business-types slipping away for lunch with a chocolate milkshake. On the weekend, call ahead or you may have to wait for a table. |
