If you sit in one of the side booths, you'll be able to listen to the only Restaurant Radio Comedy Serial, Soap Hospital.

Every two minutes, a new episode is played. So if conversation runs dry with your lunch or dinner date, hopefully that'll provide some talking points to break up the silence.
Even the restaurant bathrooms look unique.

At night, the place is illuminated with unique hanging lights that make the blue walls glow.

The Fountain on Locust has one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in Missouri and you'll want to try it out. The Royal Grill is a sweet and savory blend of white cheddar, mozzarella and Fuji apple slices on grilled whole grain wheat bread.
They have specials each day of the week, so you'll want to visit more than once.

Friday's special is, "The Champion." Italian meatballs, fresh marinara and melted mozzarella on a baked baguette . Mmm. Tasty.
Save some room for dessert, because their ice cream selection is impeccable.
