This food is the Very Very VERY BEST Mediterranean food we’ve had! And trust me that’s saying a lot…
The chicken was tender and the lamb was exceptionally flavorful and tender! You need to go and not walk but RUN OR Drive if you don’t live close… to Classic red hots!!!
Trust me you’ll never ever ever be disappointed! The owner takes a lot of pride in serving his food!!! The rice!!! Words cannot describe the rice and veggies!!! Wonderful……

Classic Red Hots has fantastic food and even better service. They are always friendly and the food is always hot!
I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak with fries. The fries were seasoned perfectly and were crispy as well.

A very friendly and delicious place to enjoy every single dish on the menu . We recently tried Mutton Mansaf for the very first time after the owners suggested we try it and it was hands down the best we had ever had in a middle eastern cuisine. Even the hotdogs taste so authentic , the owners sometimes treat you with complimentary falafels . Everything about this place is very satisfying and delicious. Highly recommended

What a fantastic family run shop! You really couldn’t find a more kind and helpful staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I was a first timer and obviously the gyro is the go to here apparently. And it didn’t disappoint. I found the meat version to be very flavorful and the pita bread soft and fresh. I am also told their Italian beef is pretty damn good too. All in all the experience was pleasant. The restaurant itself is not the largest for dining in but they do offer places to sit inside and a table outside. Could use some updating but really your gear for a to go order more often than not.

Ok, so it may look like a Christmas tree that Santa decorated, but that is an amazing, good Chicago hot dog.
And the gyro was just as great
Seating and interior could use an update, but for a fast grab for lunch, it’s not too bad.

Classic Red Hots is an absolute gem; if you’ve never been, you’re missing out on one of St. Louis’ best Mediterranean spots. It’s small and out of the way (so plan accordingly if you bring a larger group!), but absolutely worth your time over some of the often-raved Mediterranean places in the Lou. With dishes like Kabsa, shawarma, and the tasty mansaf, you have so many options to try! (Pro tip- get the lamb kabsa or mansaf. You’ll never want to eat lamb anywhere else.)
With a fully halal menu of delicious foods (like gyro, hamburgers, kabobs, PROPER chicago-style hotdogs, and more!), the owners are wonderful people who treat customers like family.
You’ll never leave CRH hungry; the portions of food are incredible and the homemade taste just simply can’t be beat. Be prepared to have patience – everything is made as you order by the owners, but even if there’s a line, it’s 1000% worth the time to wait.
Everything about this restaurant is amazing; the food, the flavor, the owners, the care and dedication they put into their business, and the consistency of their craft.
Put it on your list and plan to go more than once – you won’t regret it!

This is (still) one of my favorite places to go for lunch. They use Vienna brands, and their jumbo frank is arguably as good as anything at the stadium or arena. Their falafel sandwich (wrap) is also one of the best I’ve had. Nice people running it, and a nice casual atmosphere. Great for a casual lunch.

Food is AMAZING and the owners are EXTRAORDINARY! If you’re stopping in for lunch, my go-to favorites are the burger on pita or the chicken kabob—OMGOODNESS! My husband swears by the Chicago Dog. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu—everything is seasoned and cooked to perfection.
But here’s my power move: if you’re headed to a party, grab their homemade hummus, warm pita, and falafel to take with you. It’s hands-down the BEST I’ve ever had, and you’ll feel like a total rockstar showing up with it.
Food is my love language, and they make it easy (and delicious).
