About The Lemp Mansion
The Spotlight on The Lemp Mansion

Historic Charm and Comfort Food Just Minutes from the Music

If you're looking for a restaurant with character before catching a concert in St. Louis, The Lemp Mansion offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Set in a beautifully preserved 19th-century mansion just a short drive from downtown, this American-style restaurant blends old-world charm with hearty, home-cooked meals. Known as much for its ghost stories as for its generous portions, it’s a quirky, memorable spot that’s popular with both locals and visitors.

Why Concert-goers love it

Close to many of St. Louis's major music venues, The Lemp Mansion is an ideal pre-show stop. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with quick service that's perfect if you're watching the clock. Guests love the themed dining rooms and quiet ambiance — you can easily chat with friends without shouting over music. Plus, the menu caters well to hungry concert-goers with comfort food classics like fried chicken, meatloaf, and mashed potatoes.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, shared dining experience in a unique setting
  • Solo travelers who appreciate history and hearty meals before a show
  • Couples on a romantic concert weekend in St. Louis
  • Fans who want to soak up some local flavor before the main event
  • Budget-conscious music lovers — portion sizes are generous and pricing is reasonable

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the restaurant’s historic atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. Many mention the Sunday family-style fried chicken dinner as a must-try. Guests appreciate the laid-back vibe and often comment on the mansion’s spooky stories, which add a fun twist to the evening. It's a spot where the meal is just as memorable as the concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the decor and furnishings feel dated, though that’s part of the charm for fans of historic homes. Also, since it's a mansion turned restaurant, seating areas can be a bit spread out, and parking may take a few extra minutes.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a pre-show meal with a side of history — and maybe a ghost story or two — The Lemp Mansion is a unique and satisfying choice.
