September’s Ins, Outs, and Almosts

Restaurant openings, closings, and “coming soons” in metro St. Louis for September 2016.

The following list is accurate as of an early October press date. A condensed version will be published in SLM‘s November 2016 issue.

Editor’s Note: Only three closings this month but one was notable: after almost 30 years on the same corner in Clayton, Cardwell’s poured its last Budweiser on September 30. Among the 14 openings, the most whimsical was an ice cream shop opened on the Loop by a senior at UMSL. Snow Factory features both Thai ice cream (mixed on a cold plate then rolled) and Hong Kong egg waffle “bubble” cones (right), first time appearances for both in St. Louis.
