| J. Buck’s is now in its second decade, and it's still popular with the Clayton crowd, meaning young and semi-young professionals. Also in attendance are athletes, both local and visiting, and diners of all ages in smart-casual attire. There's a legacy at play here: the place is named for late St. Louis sports-casting legend Jack Buck, as well as his offspring Julie, a local radio personality, and Joe, who has a fine national reputation of his own in his dad's field. The younger two are also part-owners in this and the downtown location. The menu concentrates on salads, sandwiches, pizza and protein of the steak-fish persuasion. Look for this twist: toasted ravioli as a pizza topping. The don't-miss dish, though, is Buck's cheesecake, where the cheesecake is sandwiched between layers of dark chocolate cake. Portions, even for a St. Louis restaurant, are immense, with plates filled with food instead of froufrou. The updated wine list is an improvement, and service is pleasant. Also located downtown at 1000 Clark St., 314-436-0394. |
