AMC Classic Creve Coeur 12 is in the same shopping plaza as the Korean-barbecue restaurant Seoul Garden. You are also a short drive from the deli Pumpernickels and STL 100 honoree Nudo House. Of all the dishes I don't recommend you try to sneak into a theater, Nudo House's ramen might be the most daring.

As for Plaza Frontenac Cinema, the closure of Cardwell's at the Plaza removes the slam-dunk suggestion. Head west to Sugo's Spaghetteria or east for Sportsman's Park Restaurant & Bar. (Or north, for that matter, to the AMC Classic Creve Coeur 12 suggestions.)

Correction: This post originally identified Pumpernickles as Kosher. It calls itself "Kosher style" on its website, but is not Kosher.
