B's Local Dish Review: Tidy Jon's Deli & Grill

b's LOCAL DISH : TIDY JON'S DELI & GRILL

Hey friends -- Again, welcome to my foodie adventure blog for the Fenton area... B's Local Dish!
I stopped by Tidy Jon’s Deli & Grill in Olde Town Fenton last week, and wow… what a treat! I was there with the Fenton Chamber H.Y.P.E. group, and we had such a fantastic experience.

Owners Ken and Jill Adkisson are running a great neighborhood spot, serving up comfort classics starting bright and early with breakfast. It’s the perfect place to pop in for something to go, enjoy some quiet on the spacious patio, or meet up with friends for some casual dining — so good!

My most recent visit was a sunny day on that patio. While our group enjoyed such menu items as the fried chicken sandwich, smash burger, grilled ham and cheese, and turkey club, I went with my usual: the house special — the “Tidy Jon” with fries. Oh my goodness… imagine a deconstructed burger with a meaty, oniony sauce, plus pickles, piled between a toasted bun. I’ve tried other menu items, but I keep coming back to this delicious, unique family recipe. It’s quickly become my favorite sandwich!

There’s plenty of room to sit inside and enjoy the cozy atmosphere, but on a gorgeous day, you’ll definitely want to grab a seat outside and soak up the sunshine on that spacious, private patio. Located just steps from the Meramec River — it’s even an easy walk if you’re grabbing a meal to go or making a stop while navigating the Meramec Greenway.

I love seeing local gems like this thrive. Tidy Jon’s Deli & Grill is locally owned, community-loved, and absolutely worth a visit!
