Crystal Grill and Cafeteria

In 1946 the Crystal Grill and Cafeteria was born at this historic location. Surviving many decades, she served many meals to the blue collar workers in this once booming industrial area. She also served as a regular host to many of St. Louis' infamous as well, including mob bosses John Vitale and Tony Giordano and other members of their gangs who spent many hours a day behind the Crystal's doors playing cards and conducting their business affairs. The Crystal served its last meal in 2008 before shutting its doors. It is currently under renovation and will be opening its doors once again in the near future.
