Oberle Meats – Six Generations, 150+ Years, and the Same Secret Recipe Since the 1870s At 21529 Highway 32 in Ste. Genevieve, Oberle Meats represents something increasingly rare in American commerce: a six-generation family business using the exact same German bologna recipe since founder Joseph Oberle opened his Main Street meat market in the 1870s. Today, Bill Oberle and his sixth-generation sons Stephen and Adam operate what locals simply call “home of the Oberle Dog”—producing world-famous Oberle Sausage, smoked pork tenderloin, garlic cheese, snack sticks, jerky, smoked ribs, Krakow, and homemade wieners using “many of the techniques handed down by their ancestors” while embracing modern efficiency. Open Monday-Friday 7 AM-4 PM (Friday until 5:30 PM), this USDA-inspected specialty meat market serves walk-in customers, processes thousands of pounds of deer during hunting season, ships nationwide via online orders, and delivers to Dierbergs, Schnucks, and stores throughout Southeast Missouri. The result: “fresh, lean, bright red, awesome tasting meat” and a sausage so beloved that expatriate Missourians visiting from Idaho “have to visit here,” Festus residents stock up “every two weeks,” and southern cooks rejoiced when Oberle’s garlic cheese log replaced Kraft’s discontinued version in decades-old recipes.

Oliver’s Restaurant – Where Handmade Pasta Meets Hometown Heart Tucked away in the heart of historic Ste. Genevieve, Oliver’s Restaurant has quietly become something of a pilgrimage site for those who understand that truly great pasta isn’t mass-produced or pulled from a box—it’s crafted by hand, with patience, skill, and an uncompromising dedication to quality. This cozy little spot may not announce itself with flashy signage or pretentious ambiance, but what it lacks in size and fanfare, it more than makes up for in flavor, creativity, and genuine passion for the craft of pasta-making. A Passion for Pasta: The Foundation of Everything At Oliver’s, every dish starts with one thing: a passion for pasta. Not the dried stuff that sits on grocery store shelves for months, but real, honest-to-goodness fresh pasta made the old-fashioned way—by hand, every single morning. Before the restaurant opens, before the first customer walks through the door, the team at Oliver’s is already hard at work rolling, cutting, and shaping pasta dough. This isn’t a show put on for diners or a gimmick to justify higher prices. It’s simply how they believe pasta should be made—with hands, with time, with attention to texture and consistency. The Read more…

Sirros – Nearly Three Decades of Familiar Faces, Good Service, and Homemade Onion Rings in Downtown Ste. Genevieve At 261 Merchant Street in the heart of historic downtown Ste. Genevieve, Sirros delivers what a family restaurant should: consistently good food, friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, and the sense that you’re eating somewhere deeply embedded in the community. Since opening in 1989, this casual ninety-seat restaurant has built devoted following among locals and wine country tourists by specializing in what they call “samiches” (yes, deliberately spelled that way), hand-tossed pizzas, hearty pasta dishes, and those legendary homemade made-to-order onion rings that customers describe as “munching crunchy mouthfuls of heaven.” Open daily (Monday-Thursday 11 AM-8 PM, Friday-Saturday 11 AM-9 PM, Sunday 11 AM-8 PM) with dine-in and carryout options, Sirros occupies a building with remarkable history—the 1930s soda fountain here once served as the lone bus stop between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau. Now, under longtime manager Lauren Smothers’ leadership, Sirros continues three-decade tradition of making visitors “feel at home, feel comfortable, and leave with a smile on your face.” The Name: Orris Spelled Backward (Plus an “S”) Sirros “began life backward”—literally. The restaurant’s unusual name comes from spelling “Orris” backward with an Read more…
