Hwy 61 Roadhouse and Kitchen

The heartiest of the food found along the old Blues Highway is the stock-in-trade of this charming Webster Groves spot. From old favorites like St. Louis-style spare ribs and pan-fried chicken to stuff you may never have tried (like delicious fried tamales), you'll find something to stick to your ribs, with more than enough left over for the next day. Cajun and Creole specialities, including a gumbo dense with chicken and andouille sausage or shrimp-and-crawfish étouffée, are excellent. Alternatively, opt for a sampler featuring the plates made famous by Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: "CajAsian Potstickers," red beans and rice, and barbecue spaghetti. It all sounds good, doesn't it? It sounds even better with the soundtrack of live local blues bands that fill the room during the weekends.
