"There’s usually a wait at Southwest Diner on the weekends, with a line snaking out the door, but have some patience, and you won’t regret it. Inside, patrons love the diner’s breakfast fare with a Southwestern twist: The Southwest Slinger comes with two ¼-ounce burger patties, home fries and melted longhorn cheese topped with two eggs and green or red chiles."

"Five of our favorite classic slingers as well as five modern takes of this St. Louis treasure: Southwest Diner - Diners can also order Christmas, which plates both red and green sauces. In place of the sauces, Southwest offers its slingers with housemade sausage gravy."

"For a taste of south of the border cooking in the southern part of St. Louis, you’ll want to wing by this solid and speedy establishment, whose brunch menu comes complete with tantalizing options like Southwest Slinger."

"Keep the hamburger patty and eggs, add a ladle of gravy and voila! Not surprisingly, the combination works—both because these talented folks know their way around the kitchen and because slingers are just plain delicious, however they’re doctored up."
