Mad Dogs, Cool Cats & Hungry Dudes: A Sunday Lunch Adventure
Details
OK you folks out west… YES, we finally have an event by YOU! 🐶🐱
For those of us in South City and the central corridor… yes, we’re heading toward St. Peters. And we’ve done it before! Some of our best Dudes Dining adventures have been a little Sunday road trip — and I promise, this one will be worth the drive.
Mad Dog & Cat’s is exactly the kind of neighborhood gem Dudes Dining & Destinations loves to discover. There aren’t many shortcuts here. Their chicken strips are made in-house, the crab dip is a standout, and their burgers are hand-formed fresh — not some frozen patty.
Soup lovers… listen up! Their French Onion Soup has that rich, savory, old-school flavor that reminds me of the Famous-Barr style, and they’re known for other great soups as well.
The menu goes far beyond comfort food. You’ll find standout pastas like Rigatoni All’Amatriciana and Cajun Chicken Pasta, along with Chicken Marsala, Chicken Artichoke, Jack Daniel’s Pork Chop, fresh seafood, and quality steaks.
Salad and sandwich fans won’t be left out either. From a fresh Strawberry Salad and loaded Italian Salad to a classic Reuben, New York Strip Steak Sandwich, Beef Brisket hoagie, and Cajun Grilled Chicken Sandwich — there’s truly something for everyone.
Looking for a hearty plate? Their dinner specials are a great value:
🥩 10 oz Sirloin
🐟 Fried Walleye
🍗 Chicken Lombardi
—all served with a side salad and dessert. And yes, their Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and rich country gravy is pure comfort on a plate!
Even the little details shine — like their signature anchovy-based house dressing packed with old-school flavor.
When we visited, we met the staff, and every single person was warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there.
And save room for dessert! Bananas Foster and bread pudding are waiting to finish the meal.
Bottom line: come hungry. This is a place where the kitchen still believes in doing things the right way — made-from-scratch touches, generous portions, and hospitality that makes you feel like a regular.
