White Knight Diner didn't always sport the name it does today. It used to be called Super Sandwhich Shop (originally a Courtesy Diner), but later changed it's name when The White Palace, which starred Susan Sarandon and James Spader, shot scenes for it's movie there. Moving on, White Knight Diner offers what we like to call comfort food. Feeling a craving a nice, thick, juicy greasy burger? White Knight has you covered. They also serve breakfast until 10:30 am, but offer lunch and breakfast all day on Saturdays. They also make some delicious patty melts if you are into that sort of thing.
The greatest part of the White Knight is the fact that they have customer creations on their menu! Now that is awesome! If you are familiar with the St. Louis area, then you have possibly tried the "slinger". Well they have a customer creation called the "Super Slinger". This consits of hash browns, onions layered with cheese, a hamburger patty and 2 eggs topped off with chili. Now that's a dish! The White Knight has a great classic diner feel to it, but be warned it is pretty small so if they are busy it might be hard to find a seat. This is a definite must try if you are in the downtown area.
