Personal note: Breakfasted here many, many times, Food alway first rate. A few time have ordered large dinner, (chicken and Roast Beef) ..delivered and again first rate. I have never had a complaint.
The street out front was recently named after the owners because of their longevity and contributions to the community..
This location was a prime spot before Interstates. E. Pearce Blvd was US 40 and Luetkenhaus Blvd was US-61...two of the major highways of the day.
"Pete’s Drive In began 41 years ago as the old A&W Drive In. Wanting to offer his unique style and not become a soulless franchised restaurant, Pete dropped his franchise with A&W in 1996. After a fire in 1972, the establishment was revamped to include indoor dining but continues to provide the convenience of car hop service, a real classic touch of Americana for customers ordering food to-go. Just pull up to the speaker that displays the full menu board and soon a friendly waitress will deliver your delicious country meal. And if you slip her a little tip you’ll get a big smile!" ~ Inside St. Louis
