When you get the urge to eat out but you don't want to break the bank, Ellisville has a great choice of
inexpensive restaurants. And cheap doesn't mean you have to settle for poor quality. Here are five of the best restaurants for dinner on a budget.
Boardwalk Pizza
This pizza restaurant gets consistently good reviews for the friendly owner and staff and the quality of the food. The menu isn't huge, but what they do, they do well. Appetizers include wings with a choice of four sauces, toasted ravioli, and Land Shark Pork Bites.
The specialty pizzas are freshly made with hand-tossed dough and feature names like Shark Attack, Hurricane, and Big Kahuna. You can get $5.99 lunch specials with a three-topping pizza, calzone, sub, or wings, along with a side salad or chips and a 24-ounce fountain beverage.
Clancy's Irish Pub & Grill
The friendly, family-run Clancy's on Old State Road prides themselves on being an established part of the community. It's a great place to meet with friends and have an ice-cold beer or a crafted cocktail. They offer casual dining with traditional American dishes and an Irish influence.
The starters menu features a good choice, including a pile of fresh homemade Irish Chips for $5.99. Burgers start at $7.99, while you can get entrees like Nick's Kickin' Chicken for $9.49 or a fried shrimp dinner for $9.99. Watch out for the special $1 burger nights!
Peppers Deli & BBQ
Peppers Deli is an unassuming place that serves great food at low prices. It's counter service, but you can sit inside or, weather permitting, on the outdoor patio. They slow smoke meat over a hickory fire and the place always smells amazing. For extra flavor, they have their own line of sauces — not that they're needed.
You can get freshly made salads and different gourmet homemade soups each day. From the barbecue, you can choose the chopped Angus brisket, which is smoked for 16 hours, pulled pork or chicken, or handmade burgers. Or you could opt for one of the unique combos, like the Garden Grinder, Screwy Schue, or Smokin' Gobbler.
Asian House Restaurant
The Asian House is a small, family-run business offering freshly prepared Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The pleasant, clean decor creates a lovely atmosphere.
There is an excellent selection of sushi rolls, including signature rolls, the chef's specials, and nigiri sushi. The main menu has plenty of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes to choose from. You can also get lunch specials ranging from $6.75 to $7.75.
Yiro Gyro
For a taste of Greece, Yiro Gyro hits the spot. The small menu features freshly made gyros, doner kebabs, meat and falafel combos, and veggie options, and the portions are generous. You can add some authentic Greek sauces to your meal. The Classic Gyro is $7.95 and the veggie version is $7.25.
Whatever food takes your fancy, you can find a good quality, budget-priced restaurant in Ellisville, MO where you eat in, get takeout, or have it delivered.
