“ Food is delicious breakfast food! I had an omelet and they let me modify it as well. Server (Claudia) was very kind and attentive, refilling coffee and water often. ”
“ Felt like a hotel bar sort of - not a typical diner feel but was cool with the STL chess them. Food was good but didn't blow me away, my latte was good! Service was quick and friendly! Overall good breakfast! ”
“ And absolutely delicious breakfast. I judge a breakfast place by their coffee. I'm not sure what brand they use, but the house coffee was rich and delicious. We ordered several different things and each one was a stand out! Damn Delicious is a knife and fork breakfast sandwich on a croissant covered in delicious sausage gravy. A side of hash browns rounded out an already hearty meal. Chicken & Waffles are a breakfast staple and this plate did not disappoint. The waffles are super crispy (I need to figure out their secret). And the chicken tenders are well seasoned and juicy. The maple syrup sets the entire plate off! The plate also comes with a side of eggs. To Bee or not not to Bee a beautiful French toast with fruit and a drizzle of honey. A beautiful meal. Corn+beef+hash is an epic skillet meal. Corn and beef and hash browns with eggs and toast. Absolutely delicious. ”
“ Great spot for breakfast food. I went here with a friend and it was a great casual spot to catch up with friends or go when it is cold outside, or at any time really. The food was cook just right. Such a great start to the morning for me. The menu have a wide variety of choices for breakfast when I went. This place was busy even in the early morning. I did not have any trouble with finding parking when I went there. The service was great, everyone seems so friendly. I definitely will be back. ”
“ Went for breakfast with my sister. Upon entry, it was seat yourself so there were plenty of opportunities to sit. The waiter was very helpful with questions and I eventually was able to order a skillet and a pancake with a latte. The latte was a vanilla latte and it was a good standard latte. The skillet had plenty of meat (bacon, sausage and ham) and the egg on top was scrambled. It was a good meal. The pancake was good as well. I'll def come back. ”
“ Food is very good, huge portions for a good price. Service was a bit slow so don't come if you're in a rush, but a great place to bring someone who is visiting St Louis. They also have very good coffee selections (tends to be sweet so I get 1 pump of sugar). :) ”
“ Tried a new brunch place in the Saint Louis suburb of Clayton on a Sunday morning. There are two locations that are approximately 1.5 mile apart. Parking is off street or nearby parking garage. I elected for off street and the area was clean. I will note for whatever reason GPS gets confused finding the address. It's in an office building with restaurant on first floor. The restaurant is good size with a bar counter. Windows are along an entire side, so it bright and has a modern feel. Everything felt spic and span clean! My party arrived at approximately 9 AM to put the name down for 930 arrival. We were offered a private room. When everyone arrived shortly before 930 we were quickly greeted by the hostess and led to our room. Our waitress arrived within a few minutes and set up water crafts, coffee and napkins. In short time our hungry party put in orders. I believe everyone got something different. My order Country Fried steak with gravy, two eggs over easy with potatoes and toast. I really enjoyed. Approximately 20 minutes later food was on the table and timing was correct for everyone at the same time. My dish was very good. The coffee was excellent! Everyone else also really enjoyed. Service my our single female waitress was outstanding with follow up on food, refills on water and coffee. Price for the amount and quality about right. I think a 4.5 best suits them. There was no service errors. Our timing of being seated and food arrival was above average. The food taste was above average although not what I would call 5 star. Locating the diner was annoying, but not their fault. I will return next visit. ”
