as you can probably tell by the amount we talk about it on this blog, we love food. a place has got to be pretty special to take the prize for one of our favorite restaurants in saint louis, but carl's has our hearts. it's fast, close to our houses, but obviously it's our favorite because of the food! we started going during high school and quickly found it to be our go-to place to stop for meals before concerts, school events, parties, etc. we found ourselves going so often that one of the ladies who works there began remembering our orders so when we would walk through the door she'd ask if we still wanted the same thing. on our last visit, we'd been gone for such a long time that we didn't think she would remember. however, the second we walked in the door she asked if we wanted our usual orders.
we both agree that carl's is a must if you are in the saint louis area. it seats a very limited amount of people at a time on barstools at the counter, so it's a very intimate atmosphere- especially since they are cooking your food right in the middle of everything. fitz's rootbeer in the loop is the only other place we can think of that could compete with carl's rootbeer/rootbeer floats. however, we are both big fans of their milkshakes.
below are a few photos of our most recent stop at carl's. (i'm sure there will be some more soon...)
^^ mg has gone vegetarian since our last trip to carl's (last august, the day before we left for college-before cliffs & caves!). thankfully, carl's has some pretty rockin' grilled cheeses, and we'll always love their milkshakes. ^^
^^fun to watch your food prepared right in front of you^^
^^milkshake time^^
