How Do You Love Blueberry Hill? RFT Counts the Ways

Joe Edwards is often credited for bringing life to the Loop, and his first U City venture, Blueberry Hill, has become an iconic St. Louis favorite.

So it is any surprise that RFT readers nominated Blueberry Hill in several categories for the publication’s Restaurants 2013 guide?

The restaurant swept past Venice Café, Broadway Oyster Bar, The Fountain on Locust and City Diner to receive the 'Favorite Décor' honor.

“It’s like the whole of American pop culture from the 1950s through the present day was gathered into a single entity, shot out of a cannon, and the best bits floated back down to Earth before coming to rest inside this block-long restaurant, bar and music venue,” according to RFT.

Blueberry Hill ranked second for “Favorite Atmosphere.”

But it’s not just the jukeboxes and doodads that have diners impressed—the restaurant’s burgers and grilled cheese ranked third in their respective categories, and fourth overall for American food. 

Rankings were determined by reader votes, according to RFT.
