The 10 Best Meals in St. Louis for Curing That Hangover

Benton Park Cafe
2901 Salena St.
St. Louis, MO 63118
(314) 771-7200

Benton Park Cafe has won RFT's "Best Breakfast with a Hangover" category before, and with good reason. Just look at the classic breakfast pizza. It's topped with egg, mushroom, onion, tomato, bacon and Provel cheese. Photo by Mabel Suen.

You can also get breakfast burritos (the "South of the Border" burrito is pictured) and omelettes at Benton Park Cafe. But for hangover purposes specifically, we recommend the BP Slinger. This isn't your ordinary biscuits and gravy; this is two beer biscuits topped with eggs over-easy, cheese, bacon and housemade gravy. If you have to wait, just go to the bar and order a mimosa or Bloody Mary. The wait will be worth it. Photo by Mabel Suen.

Chuck-a-Burger Drive In
9025 St. Charles Rock Rd.
St. Louis, MO 63114
(314) 427-9524

A single chuck from Chuck-a-Burger with cheese fries and tons of water will do the trick when you've had just a little too much fun. Shown is a barbecue chuck double with slaw -- and of course, chili cheese fries. Photo courtesy of Yelp / Jason B.

The grease and fat battle with the alcohol and dehydration, leaving your body in balance. The perfect reason to indulge in Chuck-a-Burger, if we do say so ourselves. Here we have the chili cheese chuck with curly fries. Photo courtesy of Yelp / Kitty W.

Quincy Street Bistro
6931 Gravois Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63116
(314) 353-1588

Brunch at Quincy Street Bistro is a special treat. No, seriously: Brunch isn't served once a week here or even once a month -- but every so often, Quincy Street Bistro will have a "Kegs and Eggs" special, and your hungover self will know it was well worth the wait. Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

Watch the Quincy Street Bistro Facebook and Twitter, where each "Kegs and Eggs" is announced. The menu is different at each one, but you can guarantee that the carbs will be plentiful and that your meal will be paired with a local craft beer. Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

Iron Barley
5510 Virginia Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63111
(314) 351-4500

If you're really, really hungover though, nothing will do the job quite like a footlong hot dog at Iron Barley. It's nothing fancy -- but if that's your concern right now, you need to get your priorities straightRFT photo.

Iron Barley takes sandwiches very seriously. Don't believe us? Just check out this photo. It shows the creation of the world's longest BLT at -- you guessed it -- Iron Barley. Photo by Tom Lampe.

Southwest Diner
6803 Southwest Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63143
(314) 260-7244

If tacos and burritos call your name when a hangover strikes, look no further than Southwest Diner. First things first: order a Bloody Maria. Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

We also recommend Southwest Diner's New Mexican Breakfast Burrito, a flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, green chile, cheese and home fries. For some extra flair (and $2 more), add calabacitas, chorizo, ham, sausage, bacon or turkey bacon. You can also get it covered with green or red sauce. If your hungover self can't make decisions, ask for "Christmas," which is half of each sauce. Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

U-City Grill
6696 Enright Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63130
(314) 721-3073

U-City Grill is always a good place for an awful hangover. There's nothing like a big bowl of beef bulgogi with bacon and hash browns on the side to start your day. RFT photo.

As a combination Korean restaurant/greasy spoon, U-City Diner won't do you wrong. Our restaurant listing says it best: "...it's all hot, satisfying, damn cheap and made right in front of you, so just shut up and eat." RFT photo.

The Buttery
3659 S. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63118
(314) 771-4443

If a messy cheese omelette with a stack of buttered toast, bacon and endless coffee sounds up your alley, stop what you're doing and drag your hungover self to The Buttery. Photo courtesy of Instagram / gcbampman.

We have to admit, the atmosphere at The Buttery helps a bit, too. Somehow the grimy splendor and crusty clientele of a 24/7 diner interact somewhat magically to lessen the hangover ugliness. RFT photo.

Square One Brewery and Distillery
1727 Park Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63104
(314) 231-2537

Don't judge. Yes, we know you had a wild night. No, that does not mean you should write off a brewery as a breakfast option. Square One Brewery serves a delicious brunch on Sundays. It's a great option if you're looking for something a tad more refined than a diner -- and the perfect excuse to order up some beer, wine or a cocktail with your meal. We know you can handle it.

Order up the traditional Benedicts, made with house-smoked pork loin. A Bloody Mary made with Spirit of St. Louis Vodka is a necessity, too. Oh, and a cinnamon roll. Can't forget one of those. Photo by Aimee Levitt.

The Libertine
7927 Forsyth Blvd.
Clayton, MO 63105
(314) 862-2999

If you're often prone to hangovers, these options may feel a little "been there, done that." We understand. So let us introduce you to the new menu at The Libertine. Photo courtesy of the Libertine.

The new spring menu has decadent dishes such as "Escargot and Frites" and the "North Beach Cioppino" (pictured). And in the brunch department, Feast Magazine reports that the Libertine will present a "hangover-curing" Sunday brunch service this summer. We're so there. Photo courtesy of the Libertine.

Rooster
Locations downtown and on South Grand.

You can tell whatever you get at Rooster will be delicious just by looking at this photo. Personally, we recommend the scrambles at Rooster for hangover treatment -- any one will do. Photo by J. Pollack Photography.
