Andria's Steakhouse has long been a favorite of residents in nearby O'Fallon, Ill., where it was originally opened as a farmhouse restaurant. Seizing a prime opportunity for growth, owners recently expanded their enterprise into Chesterfield, offering patrons a taste of the famous steak sauce regulars can't get enough of. The new location offers a bit of the traditional Andria's while also presenting an updated wine list, a chic atmosphere, and a menu filled with seafood, grilled meats, and world-famous filets. Dinner entrees average around $20 (as of 2009) and are served with two side dishes; most lunch dishes are available for $10 and under.

Located at the site previously home to Joe's Crab Shack, the parent company converted this site into a man-friendly Brick House Tavern + Tap. These restaurants serve self-proclaimed "man food," such as deviled egg appetizers, xxxl burgers, wings, and sloppy joes along with an impressive selection of beers (on tap and by the bottle). While possibly not the place for lunch with the ladies, many men will find the food and atmosphere appealing after a day on the links.
