St. Louis - Cunetto House of Pasta

Bring your appetite, and expect leftovers! Everything looked good. I went with the spaghetti & meatballs. There will be a wait, but it's worth it! They have two comfortable waiting areas.

Located on The Hill in St. Louis, a predominantly Italian neighborhood.

Spaghetti Works - Des Moines

I try to get to Spaghetti Works every visit to Des Moines. It's been there for about 30 years and not much has changed. Still great spaghetti - all you can eat. Very reasonable prices too.

Oklahoma Joes - Kansas City

It's a gas station AND BBQ restaurant. There was a line out the door at 2pm on a Thursday, and it was well worth the wait. My favorites were the ribs and brisket. You won't leave hungry.
