Part of South County — explore the whole region in our South County restaurant guide.
Oakville is far South County — Telegraph Road running down toward Jefferson Barracks and the Mississippi — and like a lot of the suburbs out here, the highway frontage is chain-heavy. But Telegraph hides a genuine core of long-running, family-owned rooms: a 50-year Italian institution, the family next door that claims to have invented the trashed wing, and a barbecue-and-pizza spot doing crab rangoon pizza and German dumplings in the same kitchen.
From a half-century Gianino family room to brisket egg rolls, here's where to eat in Oakville.
The independents cluster on Telegraph Road (63129) — or one block off it at the Gianino family plaza (Telegraph and Yaeger). It's a compact local scene surrounded by chains, so for broader range, Oakville blends into Mehlville and greater South County just north and west. Several spots run cheap daily specials.
Bill Gianino's Restaurant
Bill Gianino's has anchored Oakville Italian since 1975 — home-cooked pastas, St. Louis-style pizza, steaks, and toasted ravioli. Founder Bill passed in 2020, but his sons still run it: over 50 years in the same family. The town's longest-running name.
📍 4571 Chestnut Park Plaza, Oakville, MO 63129
Frankie G's Grill & Bar
Frankie G's is the Gianino family's grill-and-bar right next to the flagship — open since 1991, and it claims to be the inventor of the "trashed wing." Two family concepts side by side in one plaza.
📍 4565 Chestnut Park Plaza, Oakville, MO 63129
Crusoe's Restaurant & Croc's Sports Bar
Crusoe's is the family-owned casual American spot and sports bar tucked in the Oakville Shopping Center — breaded wings, the Crusoe's Party Sub, chicken fettuccine, and toasted ravioli. The neighborhood living-room kind of place.
📍 5591 Oakville Shopping Center, St. Louis (Oakville), MO 63129
Garvey's Grill
Garvey's is the true corner neighborhood joint that's been pouring and grilling 25-plus years — wings (voted among the best in St. Louis), St. Louis-style Chicken Modiga pizza, and "Super Dave's Smokers" house barbecue, with a $4.95 burger-and-fries Monday special.
📍 5647 Telegraph Rd, St. Louis (Oakville), MO 63129
Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant
Las Fuentes has served the area since 1996 — Northern Mexican, with tacos al pastor, sizzling fajitas, and house-made margaritas. The vibrant, family-friendly go-to Mexican on Telegraph for nearly 30 years.
📍 6025 Telegraph Rd, Oakville, MO 63129
Nubby's Telegraph
Nubby's is the locally owned barbecue-and-pizza spot owner Matt Hines opened in 2021 in a long-vacant space — smoked ribs and burnt ends, but also the talked-about crab rangoon pizza and brisket egg rolls, plus down-home German plates like dumplings with sauerkraut. The wild-card menu of the strip.
📍 6039 Telegraph Rd, St. Louis (Oakville), MO 63129
Oakville Sports Pub
Oakville Sports Pub is the neighborhood's game-day living room — a wall of HDTVs for Cardinals, Blues, and Mizzou, the Billy Burger, ravioli pizza, and classic St. Louis thin-crust with the Provel-and-Monterey-Jack blend. Open late on weekends.
📍 6348 Telegraph Rd, St. Louis (Oakville), MO 63129
Why this town matters
Oakville's a compact local scene hemmed in by chains — but the Telegraph Road independents are the real thing: a 50-year family Italian room, a trashed-wing inventor, and a barbecue kitchen sneaking German dumplings onto the menu. The apps bury them under franchise logos; we map Telegraph.
