Taco Buddha: we went to the U City (close to Clayton one). We were going to the good old Corner 17 (link goes to Yelp, you can join waiting list there, but please make sure you check in at the front desk too), but the waiting time is too long. One thing I noticed is their adoption of technology: they have a QR code that the customer can use to order from the table. The technology provider is the Toast. Initially I was a bit hesitant because it charges only one cent to start. Because I worked for the credit card company I quickly realized it’s just an AUTH, not the actual tab. They actually texted me the link to the tab just in case.
Another place in the Delmar Loop area Sikao Life Chinese BBQ has similar ordering system too.
Ethyl’s Smoke House and Saloon: note I mentioned it here – I went again recently with a friend as he was driving by (drive through STL area along highway 70).
Note I haven’t been to the below restaurants: I saw them over FB and just bookmarked them here.
