Reviews for Cafe Manhattan in Clayton, MO
Really great little place for a traditional diner experience. The atmosphere has a classic ambience with many decorations from... the classic eras of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. It's a fairly small space maybe only seating 50 to 70 customers but it seemslike it works. The food is also very good, of course not gourmet level, but highly satisfying for the price and expectations. MyReuben sandwich hit the spot. My wife had the baked lasagna which could easily be her dinner and lunch the next day. The kidsmeals are also hearty portions, like the spaghetti and meatball. Service was perfect as far as I am concerned. I do admit beingvery picky about waiters/waitresses doing their job correctly and I must say the guys helping us during our visit did notdisappoint. They often checked in on us and never left an empty cup on the table. Altogether a pleasant experience which matchesthe mood in the dining area. I'll be back and I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a great meal at a decent value, especiallyfor families. Read more
Awesome! Seriously, awesome.... Never thought I'd get to experience a 1950's Americana diner. Great staff, good food (Cobb Salad... & a Strawberry Milkshake - beat that!). And so authentic. Was in town on business, would seriously consider bringing the familyout from East Coast just to experience it. Half expected Archie & Dagwood to walk in... Read more
The Café Manhattan where I live closed years ago and I didn't even know there was one still around. I just happened to drive... by. I got their house salad and St Louis style pizza. It was just like I remembered, D-licious. Read more
Excellent diner food. We were looking for a diner here in Missouri and we stumbled into diner wonderland here. The design is on... point and the booths are comfy. We did the toasted ravioli and the pepper cheese ravioli (vegetarian options are always nice!).Delicious and a great place to try a St Louis tradition. Ooo, and they make brown cows and serve a few local beers. Greatintegration of old and new diner culture Read more
The crew here was amazing at accommodating me and my friends. Additionally they went above and beyond to make sure we were taken... care of. Do note that parking is at a premium, however it is worth it. Read more
Food was great for the price! We got pizza and lasagna and both tasted great! I highly recommend the vegetable lasagna!
Nice diner atmosphere. The food was quite good but the fries could've used more salt.
It's a wonderful 50's style diner with classic food and beverages. I had a BLT with their home made chips. I really enjoyed a... cherry phosphate. The service was amazing. So friendly and very attentive. The decor is bright 50's memorabilia. The burgersare good size and the kids loved them. Read more
