Simply Thai in Florissant Expands Online Ordering Options with the Addition of Uber Eats


FLORISSANT, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) Simply Thai Restaurant, one of North County’s most beloved destinations for authentic Thai cuisine, has announced an exciting expansion to its digital ordering capabilities. The restaurant—already known for its flavorful dishes, generous portions, and consistent community support—has now officially added Uber Eats to its lineup of online ordering platforms. This new addition joins their existing partnerships with eOrderSTL, DoorDash, and Grubhub, giving customers more flexibility than ever when choosing how to enjoy their favorite Thai meals.


While multiple online-ordering applications are now available, eOrderSTL remains Simply Thai’s preferred system, offering both the restaurant and its customers a streamlined, local-friendly, and cost-effective way to place orders. This announcement marks another step forward in the restaurant’s ongoing commitment to accessibility, convenience, and customer service.

A Growing Demand for Convenient Ordering


Over the past several years, the St. Louis dining scene has witnessed a significant shift in consumer habits. Whether prompted by busy lifestyles, remote work, or the lasting influence of contactless service trends, customers increasingly prefer ordering online for takeout or delivery. Restaurants that adapt to these changes—particularly those outside the city center—gain a competitive advantage by offering seamless online access to their menus.


Simply Thai has long understood this shift. Known for serving some of the region’s most popular Thai dishes—whether it’s pad thai loaded with fresh vegetables, vibrant curries, or crisp, aromatic appetizers—the restaurant consistently attracts both regular customers and first-time visitors from across the metro area. By expanding their digital reach, they make it easier for new audiences to discover their menu while giving longtime supporters more ways to enjoy their favorite meals.


The addition of Uber Eats, one of the most recognizable food delivery platforms nationwide, reflects the restaurant’s desire to meet diners where they already are—on their smartphones. Customers can now search for Simply Thai in the Uber Eats app, browse its diverse menu, and have their food delivered to their doorstep with just a few taps.

Why eOrderSTL Remains the Preferred Ordering System


While Simply Thai values each of its online-ordering partners, the restaurant continues to emphasize eOrderSTL as its platform of choice. As a locally operated solution explicitly designed for St. Louis restaurants and diners, eOrderSTL offers features and benefits that larger national platforms cannot match.

Lower Fees and Better Support for Local Restaurants


National delivery companies are known for charging high commissions, often making it difficult for small, family-owned restaurants to remain profitable. eOrderSTL offers a more sustainable model that allows restaurants like Simply Thai to retain more of their earnings while still accessing advanced digital tools and marketing features.

A Platform Designed for the Local Community


Unlike national apps built for the mass market, eOrderSTL focuses on promoting St. Louis restaurants and strengthening local dining culture. Customers who choose eOrderSTL help support regional businesses, keep more dollars in the local community, and contribute to the vibrancy of the metro area’s culinary landscape.

Enhanced Digital Marketing


eOrderSTL offers integrated marketing, email outreach, and SEO-friendly features that help restaurants maintain visibility across search engines and social platforms. For establishments like Simply Thai, which rely mainly on community word of mouth and customer loyalty, these digital enhancements add measurable value.

Smooth Ordering and Reliable Accuracy


Because eOrderSTL is built on simplicity and reliability, orders placed through the system tend to have fewer errors, quicker confirmations, and a more predictable pickup or delivery process. Customers often report smoother transactions, while restaurants benefit from streamlined ticket management.


For these reasons, Simply Thai encourages its fans and regular customers to use eOrderSTL whenever possible. However, the restaurant also understands that consumers appreciate choices—and Uber Eats, with its expansive user base, adds an essential dimension to the customer experience.

Expanding Delivery Options to Meet Customer Needs


With the addition of Uber Eats, Simply Thai now offers four online-ordering avenues:

eOrderSTL (Preferred system – best for the restaurant and local community)


DoorDash


Grubhub


Uber Eats (New addition)

This balanced lineup ensures that customers throughout Florissant and surrounding communities—including Hazelwood, Ferguson, Black Jack, and North County more broadly—can access their favorite Thai dishes with the platform they feel most comfortable using.


Some customers appreciate loyalty programs offered through national delivery apps. Others enjoy the familiarity of the interface or prefer the convenience of having multiple restaurants available within a single application. With Uber Eats now added to the rotation, casual users of the app will encounter Simply Thai more frequently, increasing brand visibility and driving new customer engagement.


For regulars, though, eOrderSTL remains the best choice, providing the most accurate pricing, the lowest fees, and optimal support for the restaurant's local operations.

A Restaurant That Continues to Evolve


Simply Thai has long been a respected name in the Asian dining scene of the St. Louis metro area. The restaurant’s success stems from its dedication to authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and a menu that appeals to both adventurous diners and those who prefer mild, accessible dishes. From spicy curries to comforting noodle plates, their offerings invite customers to explore the variety and richness of Thai cuisine.


As they expand their digital ordering infrastructure, Simply Thai is demonstrating the same willingness to adapt and innovate that has defined their approach in the kitchen. The restaurant’s decision to integrate Uber Eats aligns with modern consumer expectations and positions them competitively within the delivery-friendly landscape of today’s food service industry.

Strengthening Community Connections


St. Louis Restaurant Review frequently highlights local restaurants that embrace technology to serve their guests better. Simply Thai’s commitment to enhancing accessibility through multiple online platforms reflects a broader trend among successful restaurants: the use of digital tools to build stronger relationships with customers.


With eOrderSTL, DoorDash, Grubhub, and now Uber Eats all available, the restaurant provides a convenient experience for:

Residents seeking fast delivery after work


Families ordering a weekend meal


College students in the nearby area


Local employees on lunch break


Newcomers searching online for great Thai food

Every platform adds a different layer of discoverability, ensuring that Simply Thai continues to reach both new and returning audiences across North County.

Encouraging Customers to Choose Local Whenever Possible


Although customers now have more ordering options than ever, Simply Thai hopes diners will continue to prioritize eOrderSTL as their primary method. Supporting independent restaurants has become increasingly important in maintaining the vitality of local food scenes, especially when economic pressures and rising operational costs affect small businesses.


By ordering through eOrderSTL, customers help restaurants minimize high third-party commissions and maintain stronger long-term financial stability. This support, in turn, allows Simply Thai to continue offering high-quality ingredients, excellent customer service, and the generous portions that patrons have come to expect.

What Customers Can Expect Going Forward


With Uber Eats officially live, customers can access Simply Thai through nearly every major delivery app. The restaurant plans to continue expanding its reach, refining its menu visibility, and strengthening its digital footprint to keep pace with evolving customer expectations.


Diners can expect:

Continued improvements to online-accessible menu descriptions


Fast confirmation times across all platforms


Smooth curbside pickup for eOrderSTL orders


More consistent delivery coverage throughout North County


Ongoing digital presence through local media and online reviews

This expansion underscores Simply Thai’s long-term commitment to innovation while preserving the authenticity and warmth that have defined the restaurant from the beginning.

Conclusion


Simply Thai in Florissant has taken a meaningful step forward by adding Uber Eats to its online ordering lineup, ensuring greater accessibility for customers throughout the St. Louis region. With four major platforms—eOrderSTL, DoorDash, Grubhub, and now Uber Eats—the restaurant offers unmatched convenience while still emphasizing the importance of supporting local systems.


For those who want the easiest, most cost-effective way to enjoy Simply Thai’s delicious menu, eOrderSTL remains the preferred and recommended choice. However, the addition of Uber Eats brings new opportunities for exposure and growth, expanding the restaurant’s reach across the community and reinforcing its reputation as a forward-thinking local favorite.

Nico's Tacos is a pickup-and-delivery kitchen inside the popular Scrambled Eggs Restaurant at 3350 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in St. Peter's, MO.


ST. PETER'S, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) Nico's Tacos is a new concept created by the founder and owner of Scrambled Eggs Restaurant, now located at 3350 Mid Rivers Mall Drive, in St. Peter's, Missouri.

Scrambled Eggs Restaurant has been known for its award-winning breakfast and lunch, previously located in Weldon Spring, MO, and has recently relocated to a new location not far away that can serve a larger audience.  Additionally, and most importantly, they are now open until 8 pm, offering a Mexican menu from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Nico's Tacos is operating as a guest kitchen concept by the same owner to utilize his new facility better and expand his menu to include Mexican cuisine, perfect for lunch or dinner.  If you have questions or doubts about the ratings, please refer to the Scrambled Eggs Restaurant ratings and reviews.  They have achieved award-winning status, which is why they are featured on the St. Louis Restaurant Review website.

This structure is clever marketing used to maximize their presence online and all major online ordering platforms, including eOrderSTL, which is the preferred platform.

The owner is a Mexican migrant who has created an incredible menu that includes traditional American food, some with a Hispanic twist, and straight-up award-winning Mexican cuisine.

The new location is better, centrally located to attract more customers, especially for evening dining.


St. Louis Restaurant Review supports Nico's Tacos, not because of its ratings and reviews, but because of the owner and his historic ratings and performance.


St. Louis Restaurant Review is proud to cover Nico's Tacos, not because of their ratings (they don't have any), but because of the owner, knowing how he does business, and having experienced his breakfast and lunch menu items previously.  Are we taking a leap of fate?  We are confident that the menu items at Nico's Tacos will be just as successful, if not more so, than Scrambled Eggs.

Additionally, we are cautious about taking on Mexican restaurants because there are so many of them in the St. Louis region.  While we love Mexican cuisine and restaurants, it is hard to represent too many in a single community without running into ourselves.  We represent what we consider the best locally owned restaurants, and this is one of the prize gems we support.

A Wave of Restaurant Closures Hits St. Louis: What’s Behind the Sudden Shutdowns?


ST. LOUIS, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) Restaurant Closures - St. Louis’ dining scene has always been known for its diversity, resilience, and community-driven character. From family-owned diners and immigrant-run kitchens to innovative chef-led concepts, the region’s restaurant landscape has long been one of its greatest cultural strengths. Yet over the past several months, a noticeable wave of closures has spread across the metro area, affecting businesses large and small, new and established. These shutdowns are raising serious questions about the state of the local food-service industry — and whether additional closures may be on the horizon.


While the restaurant industry often experiences natural turnover, the concentration of closures in such a short time frame has caught the attention of diners, business owners, and industry professionals alike. The challenges facing the sector are not new, but they appear to be intensifying, creating a climate where even well-loved establishments are struggling to survive.


This report examines the latest closures, the economic forces driving them, and what these developments mean for the St. Louis dining community moving forward.

A Series of Notable Closures Across the Metro Area


Restaurant Closures: In the past several weeks, multiple St. Louis restaurants have shut their doors, some with public announcements and others closing more quietly. The closures span a wide variety of concepts, cuisines, and neighborhoods — revealing that no segment of the industry is insulated from the pressures now weighing down the market.


Well-known regional brands have not been spared. Some long-standing restaurants that had operated for many years recently served their final meals. Several multi-location operators, including respected local chains, have consolidated operations or abandoned specific markets entirely. Independent restaurants, particularly chef-driven and single-location establishments, have faced even steeper challenges, with many citing financial pressures, thin margins, or unsustainable operating environments.


Closures have been reported across the St. Louis area — from the Delmar Loop and Clayton to South Grand, the western suburbs, small neighborhood districts, and formerly high-traffic corridors that have seen foot traffic decline. This widespread impact suggests the issue is not limited to one neighborhood or demographic but instead reflects economic strain affecting restaurants throughout the region.


Many of the shuttered restaurants were considered local favorites. Others were newer concepts that never fully gained traction. And some were long-established establishments that, despite loyal followings, found that rising operating costs and shifting consumer behavior made continued operations impossible.

Rising Costs and Shrinking Margins: A Perfect Storm for Operators


Restaurant Closures: Industry analysts and restaurant owners frequently describe the current market as the most difficult they’ve seen in decades. The pressures facing St. Louis dining establishments come from several interconnected forces, each one amplifying the next. Together, they create a financial environment where even slight disruptions can push a restaurant from stability to closure.

• Food and Supply Costs Have Soared


Ingredient costs have risen dramatically over the past few years, and fluctuations continue to create unpredictability. Proteins, fresh produce, and essential restaurant supplies are significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. The higher cost of goods forces restaurants to raise menu prices, but there is only so much consumers are willing to absorb before demand softens. Seek less expensive suppliers.  Pick up your food to avoid delivery costs.

• Labor Costs Remain High


Staffing shortages remain a persistent issue for restaurants nationwide, and St. Louis is no exception. Competition for cooks, dishwashers, servers, and managers has pushed wages upward. While higher pay benefits workers and improves retention, it also further squeezes restaurants' already-strained margins.

• Rent, Utilities, and Insurance Are More Expensive


Particularly in high-visibility areas such as Clayton, the Central West End, and popular retail districts, commercial rent continues to rise. Some restaurant operators report that annual lease increases have outpaced their revenue growth. Utilities have also become more costly, and insurance premiums — especially for businesses serving alcohol — have increased sharply. Take your financial statements to the landlord or management company and explain your situation, asking for a reduction in the lease.

• Consumer Behavior Has Shifted


Many diners continue to support local restaurants, but overall spending patterns have changed. Delivery and pickup remain popular, but the added fees and commissions charged by third-party apps eat deeply into restaurant profits. Meanwhile, in-person dining traffic has not fully returned to prior levels for many establishments. Households facing inflation in their own budgets have also cut back on dining out, placing additional financial pressure on restaurants already operating on razor-thin margins. Begin a loyalty program designed to attract loyal customers.

• Increased Competition Creates Market Saturation


Even as some restaurants close, new concepts continue to open — contributing to a highly competitive environment. In some areas, diners have more choices than ever, making it harder for restaurants to maintain consistent traffic. This competitive pressure is especially intense for new or unfamiliar concepts that require time to build brand recognition.

The Emotional Impact on the Community


Restaurant closures affect much more than storefronts. In many cases, these businesses were local gathering places, family traditions, or cultural landmarks. The community feels the loss of each restaurant, whether it was a decades-old institution or a promising new venture. For many St. Louis residents, these closures represent the end of memories made with friends, families, and coworkers.


Employees also feel the brunt of the closures. For some, it means losing a job suddenly and unexpectedly. For owners, it often means walking away from their life’s work, personal investments, and years of dedication. Many restaurant owners pour their hearts and savings into their businesses, making the decision to close not just financially painful, but personally devastating.

Restaurant Districts Facing Notable Changes


The closures have also sparked larger conversations about the evolving identities of St. Louis neighborhoods. Areas known for their vibrant dining scenes have seen significant turnover.

The Delmar Loop


Once one of the city's most iconic entertainment and restaurant districts, the Loop has experienced a growing mix of closures and new openings. While some established favorites remain strong, the district is undergoing a noticeable transformation.

Clayton


Clayton’s upscale dining scene has faced increasing operational costs, making it challenging for restaurants to maintain profitability. Some closures have surprised diners who viewed these establishments as long-standing neighborhood anchors.

South Grand


Popular for its international cuisines and independent operators, South Grand has also felt the pressure. While the corridor remains vibrant, the closures of several well-loved spots have raised concerns about affordability and long-term sustainability for small immigrant-owned businesses.

Suburban Communities


From Arnold to St. Charles County, restaurants outside the city limits are feeling many of the same pressures. Even established suburban restaurants with loyal customer bases have struggled to navigate rising costs and inconsistent traffic patterns.

Opportunities Amid the Challenges


Although the recent wave of closures has raised concerns, the St. Louis restaurant community is known for its adaptability. Historically, the city has experienced cycles of openings and closings, with new concepts often emerging stronger and more innovative.

• Vacant Spaces Create Room for New Concepts


Some restaurateurs see opportunity in the current environment. Vacant properties with commercial kitchens already in place offer lower entry costs for new operators. This may encourage fresh entrepreneurs, food-truck owners looking to “graduate” into brick-and-mortar spaces, or established brands seeking expansion.

• Demand for Local, Authentic Food Remains Strong


Despite the closures, diners across St. Louis continue to support local businesses. Restaurants that can adapt to new consumer preferences — whether through efficient operations, community engagement, or targeted marketing — may still find pathways to success.

• Technology and Online Ordering Create New Revenue Streams


Innovations in digital ordering, AI-assisted marketing, loyalty programs, and low-cost online ordering platforms, such as eOrderSTL, give restaurants more tools to reach customers without the burdensome fees charged by larger third-party apps. Restaurants that adjust their technology strategies are often better positioned to survive financial challenges.

Will More Closures Follow?


Industry experts warn that the pressures facing restaurants are unlikely to disappear in the near term. Without meaningful relief from operating costs or improvements in consumer spending, additional closures are possible.


However, predictions are not uniform. Some neighborhoods continue to see strong growth in dining traffic, while others are experiencing new waves of investment. Much may depend on how individual restaurants respond to financial pressures, technology changes, marketing strategies, and shifting customer preferences.

A Turning Point for St. Louis’ Dining Scene


Restaurant Closures: The current wave of closures marks a significant moment for the St. Louis restaurant industry. While the losses are painful for the community, they may also signal a period of realignment — one that ultimately leads to new ideas, new operators, and new culinary identities.


The St. Louis dining scene has reinvented itself many times over the decades. Whether through economic challenges, cultural shifts, or changing tastes, the community has always found ways to adapt and grow. The closures of recent months may represent another chapter in that ongoing evolution.


Becoming a proactive restaurant owner to reduce costs can help you survive these challenging times.  Leverage your accounting to track better food costs and how they affect your bottom line. If you don't have good accounting, you need it.


For restaurant owners, diners, and industry supporters, one message remains clear: local restaurants still need community support now more than ever. The future of the St. Louis dining scene will depend heavily on the businesses, leaders, and customers who continue to believe in local food — and who recognize the role that restaurants play in shaping the culture, character, and economy of our region.

How Hotels Can Partner With Local Restaurants to Elevate the Guest Experience


Hotel and restaurant collaborations are transforming the hospitality industry by offering guests diverse culinary experiences. These partnerships enhance guest satisfaction and drive business growth for both parties involved. As the trend continues, innovative strategies are reshaping how guests interact with dining services during their stays.


(StLouisRestaurantReview) Collaborations between hotels and local restaurants are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer guests a wider range of dining options. This trend is gaining momentum as more hospitality businesses recognize the mutual benefits such alliances bring. You might notice more hotel partnerships examples that highlight the successful blending of hospitality services to enhance guest satisfaction. Offering unique, localized dining experiences helps establishments stand out in a competitive market, ensuring hotels and restaurants thrive.


Benefits of hotel and local restaurant partnerships


Hotel and restaurant partnerships allow guests to enjoy a variety of culinary delights without leaving their accommodations. This convenience enhances their overall experience, making it memorable and enjoyable. Through these collaborations, guests can sample local flavors curated by nearby restaurants, often resulting in a more authentic travel experience.

For hotels, these partnerships increase visibility and attract guests looking for unique dining experiences. Restaurants benefit from access to hotel guests who might not have otherwise visited their establishments. This mutually beneficial relationship helps both businesses expand their customer base while offering enhanced services that meet guest expectations. The collaboration fosters a vibrant local dining scene that delights tourists and locals alike.

Beyond convenience and expanded dining options, these partnerships create opportunities for cost optimization and operational efficiency. Hotels can reduce overhead costs associated with maintaining large in-house kitchens while still offering guests premium dining experiences. This arrangement allows hotels to allocate resources more strategically, focusing on core hospitality services while leveraging the specialized culinary expertise of established local restaurants. The financial flexibility gained through these collaborations enables both parties to invest in quality improvements and innovative guest services that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive.


Successful strategies in hotel-restaurant collaborations


Successful hotel and restaurant partnerships often revolve around shared goals of providing exceptional service and memorable experiences. When hotels partner with local restaurants, they tap into culinary expertise that enhances their brand reputation. Such collaborations significantly boost guest satisfaction, as diners appreciate the variety and quality of food available during their stay.

These partnerships also lead to business growth by creating cross-promotional opportunities. Hotels can promote partner restaurants through channels such as room-service menus or concierge recommendations, while restaurants may offer special discounts for hotel guests. This synergy increases restaurant foot traffic and enhances the hotel's appeal as a destination offering comprehensive hospitality services.


Innovative approaches to elevate guest experiences


Innovative approaches in hotel-restaurant collaborations include themed dining events that align with cultural celebrations or seasonal festivities. These events generate buzz and attract locals and travelers seeking unique experiences. Exclusive menu offerings crafted by renowned chefs further elevate the dining experience, making it a highlight of any stay.

The integration of local culinary traditions into these partnerships enriches the overall guest experience. By incorporating locally sourced ingredients or traditional recipes, hotels and restaurants showcase regional flavors that captivate visitors' palates. This approach not only supports local economies but also emphasizes sustainable practices within the hospitality industry.


Future of hotel and restaurant partnerships


The strength of hotel-restaurant collaborations lies in their ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences while maintaining high service quality standards. By continually innovating and finding new ways to collaborate, these partnerships play a crucial role in shaping the future landscape of hospitality.

You can explore trends such as curated local food guides, preferred-partner delivery options, and exclusive tasting experiences for hotel guests. These initiatives demonstrate a commitment to enhancing guest satisfaction by offering personalized experiences that cater to individual tastes and preferences. As these collaborations evolve, they will continue to redefine what it means to deliver exceptional service in the hospitality sector. https://stlouisrestaurantreview.com/how-hotels-partner-local-restaurants/

By joining Uber Eats, Beto’s King Burrito ensures that customers who prefer delivery-app ordering now have more flexibility. Whether you’re planning lunch at the office, grabbing dinner during a busy weeknight, or satisfying a late-night craving, Uber Eats makes Beto’s just a few taps away.

eOrderSTL: The Preferred Online Ordering Platform


While Uber Eats and DoorDash offer delivery convenience, eOrderSTL remains the restaurant’s preferred online ordering platform, and for good reason. eOrderSTL provides restaurants with lower commission fees, improved order accuracy, and a system built to support local businesses rather than national delivery giants. For customers, it offers streamlined ordering, a user-friendly interface, and the confidence that more of their spending benefits the restaurant directly.


By ordering through eOrderSTL, customers enjoy:

The lowest cost and best value for the restaurant


High-quality, direct communication for order accuracy


A smooth ordering experience without excessive fees


Support for local business technology instead of national corporate platforms

For Beto’s King Burrito, eOrderSTL enables them to maintain control of their digital presence and ensure customers receive the highest-quality service, even when ordering online. It also ensures that online sales contribute more directly to the long-term success and stability of local restaurants throughout the region.


While all platforms help connect customers to great food, eOrderSTL offers the most balanced partnership for independent restaurants. Customers who want to support Beto’s King Burrito in the most impactful way are encouraged to choose eOrderSTL whenever possible.

DoorDash Continues to Offer Wide Delivery Coverage


In addition to eOrderSTL and Uber Eats, Beto’s King Burrito is still available on DoorDash, offering another reliable option for customers to receive their meals quickly. DoorDash has long served the St. Charles area with extensive driver availability and flexible delivery options. Customers who enjoy using DoorDash will continue to find Beto’s full menu available throughout the day.


The combination of DoorDash, Uber Eats, and eOrderSTL gives diners multiple ways to order—whether they prefer delivery apps, direct ordering, or placing larger family meals through a platform built specifically for local restaurant success.

Why Beto’s King Burrito Stands Out in the St. Charles Region


St. Charles is home to a thriving restaurant community, but Beto’s King Burrito has set itself apart as a leader in authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine. Their success is built on a few key pillars:

1. Authentic, Flavor-Rich Menu


Beto’s King Burrito is known for quality ingredients and recipes that stay true to the roots of Mexican cooking. Their burritos are generously filled, their tacos pack bold flavor, and their plates offer satisfying combinations of meats, rice, beans, sauces, and tortillas.

2. High Ratings and Strong Reputation


The restaurant consistently receives strong customer feedback for flavor, portion size, and value. Many refer to Beto’s as “the go-to Mexican restaurant” in St. Charles, reflecting the brand’s position in the community.

3. Fast, Friendly Service


Whether dining in or ordering online, customers appreciate the speed and accuracy of their orders. Beto’s team prioritizes customer service as much as culinary excellence.

4. Consistency Customers Can Count On


Restaurants thrive when every order meets expectations, and Beto’s excels at delivering reliable quality. Regulars know they will get the same great taste every time.

5. Community-Driven Approach


As a locally owned and operated restaurant, Beto’s values the St. Charles community and continues to invest in new ways to serve customers—such as expanding digital ordering options.

A Growing Digital Presence Strengthens the Customer Experience


The expanded online ordering lineup doesn’t just add convenience—it strengthens the restaurant’s digital presence. In today’s marketplace, customers expect multiple ordering options. By offering eOrderSTL, DoorDash, and now Uber Eats, Beto’s King Burrito positions itself as a modern, customer-focused restaurant that embraces technology.


This digital accessibility supports:

Larger delivery zones


More customer engagement


A more substantial brand footprint in local search results


Higher order volume during peak times


A smoother experience for returning customers

With three robust online ordering systems behind them, Beto’s King Burrito is better positioned than ever to serve families, workers, students, and visitors across St. Charles.

Encouraging Customers to Order Direct Through eOrderSTL


Although multiple apps help customers connect with the restaurant, ordering through eOrderSTL remains the ideal option when possible. It benefits the restaurant directly, helps keep pricing stable for customers, and ensures the most straightforward process for the kitchen and staff.


Supporting restaurants through direct platforms like eOrderSTL helps keep local dining strong—something many St. Charles residents are passionate about. Choosing eOrderSTL over national delivery apps ensures more revenue stays within the community and supports the businesses that make the region unique.

A New Chapter of Convenience and Accessibility


The addition of Uber Eats marks an exciting milestone for Beto’s King Burrito. Customers now have more flexibility and convenience at their fingertips, while the restaurant continues to earn praise for excellent service and authentic Mexican dishes. As one of the highest-rated Mexican restaurants in the St. Charles region, Beto’s continues to grow, innovate, and serve the community with pride.


Whether you’re craving a signature burrito, freshly prepared tacos, or a hearty plate of traditional favorites, Beto’s King Burrito makes it easier than ever to order your next meal online. With eOrderSTL as the preferred platform, DoorDash for broad delivery access, and now Uber Eats for on-demand convenience, customers have more choices—and more reasons to enjoy one of St. Charles’ best.

Stefanina's Pizza, 8645 Veterans Memorial Parkway, O'Fallon, MO, has been serving its St. Louis-style pizza since 1981.


O'FALLON, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) Another amazing restaurant story: Stefanina's Pizza at 8645 Veterans Memorial Parkway, O'Fallon, MO, was founded in 1981 by Stefanina Vitale Roderick, who migrated to America from Cinisi, Sicily.


Stefanina’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in O’Fallon, Missouri, has been a community staple since 1981, earning a reputation for quality, tradition, and a welcoming family atmosphere. Known locally as “The Original Stef’s,” this long-standing pizzeria combines authentic Italian flavors with the iconic St. Louis–style pizza that residents have enjoyed for more than four decades. The restaurant opened its doors in 1981 and quickly grew into one of the most recognized names in St. Charles County dining. Today, it continues to serve generations of customers who return for its signature recipes, warm service, and consistent quality.

Authentic St. Louis–Style Pizza Excellence


Stefanina’s is widely known for its distinctive St. Louis–style pizza, featuring a thin, crispy crust topped with house-made sauce and the region’s beloved creamy cheese blend. Each pizza is prepared to order using fresh ingredients, providing guests with a delicious, flavorful experience that has stood the test of time. From classic pepperoni to deluxe combination pizzas and specialty creations, Stefanina’s delivers a balance of tradition and taste in every bite. For guests who prefer mozzarella, the restaurant also offers customization without sacrificing quality or authenticity.

A Menu Crafted With Tradition and Freshness


While pizza is the standout favorite, Stefanina’s offers a full menu of Italian-inspired dishes made from scratch. Customers can enjoy hearty pasta plates, baked specialties, toasted ravioli, sandwiches, salads, and house-made meatballs that have become fan favorites. Each dish reflects the restaurant’s dedication to flavorful, consistent cooking. Their homemade salad dressings, savory sauces, and long-standing recipes give the menu a unique identity that sets Stefanina’s apart from typical pizzerias and chain restaurants.

A Comfortable Gathering Place for Locals


Stefanina’s Pizzeria & Restaurant offers a warm, casual dining environment perfect for families, couples, and groups. Its long history in O’Fallon has made it a familiar meeting place for residents celebrating special occasions, enjoying a weeknight dinner, or simply craving classic comfort food. The staff is known for its friendly service, which contributes to a welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests returning year after year.

Convenient Takeout and Catering Options


In addition to dine-in service, Stefanina’s offers convenient carryout options for customers who want to enjoy their favorite dishes at home. Their catering options make the restaurant a go-to choice for gatherings, office lunches, family events, and celebrations. Large pizzas, pasta pans, salads, and other crowd-pleasing dishes allow customers to easily feed groups of all sizes with the same quality and flavors the restaurant is known for.

A Long-Standing Local Icon in O’Fallon


Since its founding in 1981, Stefanina’s has become an essential part of the O’Fallon community. As the first and original location, it paved the way for additional Stefanina’s restaurants and “Express” locations across St. Charles County. Despite its growth, this flagship O’Fallon restaurant continues to embody the values that made it successful: authentic recipes, quality food, friendly staff, and a dedication to serving the community.

Why Stefanina’s Continues to Stand Out


With its deep local roots, commitment to homemade recipes, and long-standing reputation for exceptional pizza, Stefanina’s Pizzeria & Restaurant remains one of the top dining destinations in O’Fallon. Whether you’re stopping in for a family dinner, grabbing a pizza on the way home, or supporting a beloved local business, Stefanina’s continues to deliver the same quality and hospitality that has made it a community favorite since 1981.
