I was with a group of six people on a Sunday morning. They were busy, but it was so nice that they were able to see us right away. It's so hard to find breakfast in St. Louis that doesn't have a huge wait! The food was mostly good with a few exceptions. The pancakes were really disappointing, they were pretty dry and flat and not fluffy at all. The omelette was very good, but it had an enormous amount of onions in it. Everything else was excellent, including biscuits, fried rice, and breakfast tacos. I would definitely go back but would not get the pancakes and ask for minimal onion. Service was great and it's a very convenient location. I'm glad they are open downtown!
Saturday breakfast felt like a possible morning of endless waiting, so when I saw that this place opened at 7:00am, I decided to go here on my last morning in town. I walked from my hotel, which was a good trek for the morning, but also meant I'd be able to walk off whatever I ate on my way back. I have no regrets. The restaurant is located immediately across the street from the courthouse, so there's plenty of old buildings to discover if you have the time to meander. Outside gave me a memory of some of the small restaurants on the pier near where I grew up, and indoors gave me that quaint feeling as well. The staff immediately sat me, asked if I wanted coffee before walking away, and gave me ample time to discover the menu before returning with my drink. I knew I wanted a biscuit, gravy, and eggs, but I also really needed a vegetable, so I opted for the Country Omelet AND ordered a side biscuit, which I split in half and enjoyed one side with gravy and the other with butter and jam when it all arrived. After ordering, I got up to use the restroom, and by the time I was back, my food was already up. Talk about fast service! Everything was delicious! The biscuit was light and went well both sweet and savory, and the omelet was seasoned well enough that I tasted every ingredient. I have never had a place put the omelet ON TOP of the hash browns, but I'm telling you, I may never have it any other way. The coffee was smooth and stayed warm in those mugs. I would have had another cup, but I was afraid I wouldn't have anywhere left to put it! I didn't think I'd eat it all, but also, mama didn't raise no quitter, so I devoured everything. In all, a great choice for breakfast in Downtown STL.
Chris was the only close walking distance breakfast place near our hotel. Everywhere seems a little further from the arch. We wanted a sit down breakfast. The place is huge, plenty of seating. It was newer and clean inside than what I was expecting. We were seated right away and ordered chai lattes. The chai latte was okay. Wasn't as creamy as we hoped for. As for breakfast, I normally like just like a ham or bacon omelet but my friend wanted to try the UFO, and we split the UFO, replaced side with biscuits and gravy (for extra $) and she got the chicken and grits. The UFO omelet was ok, but not normally what I would prefer. My friend ended up not liking it bc it was too "wet". Should have just gotten what I wanted. The grits with chicken bits had jalapeños and it was a good taste. I enjoyed that more. The jalapeños gave it a good kick. The biscuits and gravy were rich, and thank god we only got a side order and it was a good deal to replace the side with it. It was pretty good too, just rich. Service was fine. There wasn't a lot of people, it was also a Friday morning. Not a bad breakfast place to come to.
Went here on a Friday morning during our visit to St. Louis. The place was not too busy around 9 am, so no wait or anything. We ordered the UFO omelet, grits, and half an order of biscuits and gravy. The omelet was okay, although I think it would be better if the salsa was on the side so it doesn't get so soggy. The grits were really good and had a good spice level to it.. not too heavy or buttery either so yum!! The gravy on the biscuits had awesome flavor and the biscuits weren't too dense.. definitely one of the better biscuits and gravy I've had! It was also A LOT! We also ordered hot chai teas to go, which were just okay.. there was a certain flavor to them that wasn't quite what were used to, and not as creamy as we were expecting. If you're looking for an affordable place for breakfast downtown, this is your spot!
Underrated in the heart of downtown St. Louis, right by the courthouse, Chris' at the Docket is the ultimate breakfast/lunch spot. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite before a court appointment or meeting friends for a leisurely foodie meetup, this spot delivers. The menu features a thoughtful mix of classic breakfast staples and inventive dishes. The portions are generous, the coffee flows freely, and the staff treats you like family--exactly what you want to start your day. Look at the spread! Omg! Pro tip: Come early--it's no secret that this place is a favorite among locals, and it fills up fast!
Wow! What a great find! We walked over from our hotel and then stopped off at the City Garden on our way back. The outside doesn't look like much. Sitting on a busy street, the large corner diner hid so many things on the outside. The room is big and bright. Sunlight streamed into the renovated modern room. It was cheerful and very clean. Walking in, a super friendly man greeted us like we were family. He was all smiles and pleasant conversation. Our server also offered that same personable service. Our breakfast choices were served piping hot and delicious. Everything was so fresh. I loved my veggie hash and my friend raved about her breakfast fried rice. My friend also tried a snazzy latte and said she loved it so much she would have one everyday if she lived nearby. This non-touristy diner is a real gem for locals and visitors alike.
Hadn't been here in a while, but while downtown soaking up the Mardi Gras fun, we decided to pop in--and I'm glad we did. My friend grabbed breakfast and said it hit the spot, but let's be honest... we were really there for the mimosas. Who says Mardi Gras has to start with a hurricane? We went rogue and ordered the Mimosa‑Rita, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend adding it to your celebration lineup on your next visit. Cheers to switching things up!
The HK bowl was amazing. Being dairy free, they cook with oil so I didn't have to worry about the butter issue. The bowl was spicy! The aioli was delicious. If you don't like spice I'd ask for less jalapeño. Every flavor went well together! My boyfriend got the UFO omelette and says it had amazing ranchero sauce. It was huge and stuffed. The pancakes were very basic. 100% would recommend coming here. It was good service and great food!

The food here was really good. Mimosas were available! They have all kinds of coffee with liquors and without. It is on a corner and you park at a 45 degree angle by backing in which was new to us! New to some other folks too as they didn't do so hot! My husband enjoyed his croissant sandwich. Bacon was well done how he likes it. I had the French toast with cheese eggs and sausage. All was very good. They also have turkey meat options. Prices and portions were not too bad for what we got. It is a large place not over crowded. They have room for more tables so they may have some when parties get large. read more
Came here on Memorial Day for breakfast. There was no wait. Chris' had some different stuff on their breakfast menu than they did last time I came. I ordered the summer omelet and added jalapeños and onions. Jalapeños were fresh but not spicy. Food was good as always and service was good! read more

We landed and walked to this place from our hotel. Breakfast fried rice? Yes please. Mimosas to go? Yes and yes. Our server was so great and getting lit at 9am on a Sunday was the best! The place was walking distance to a lot of areas and was nice and clean. read more
3 stars because the food is just OK and the customer service is OK. We tried the chicken and avocado sandwich with fruit, a side of pancakes and the UFO skillet. Again, the food is just OK. Nothing to rave about. The website said the pancakes were award winning but I disagree. Everything came out on time, order taken in a timely fashion and the hostess said hi and bye. Nothing to complain about or be excited about regarding customer service. I'll come back to try drinks and other menu items. Its a sizable, casual place to go if you want breakfast/lunch in the downtown area. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Parking: we should have parked on the street but we chose to park on a lot nearby. Food: Food was served quickly. I went with a classic breakfast option and really enjoyed my breakfast. I paired my food with a latte which I really enjoyed. Wait staff was so kind and attentive. The restaurant is big and spacious. We did not need a reservation, but maybe for brunch or lunch, a reservation would be useful. read more

I came to Chris' because I had jury duty next door and it was a convenient option for the one-hour lunch we were provided. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything tasted good. Prices were fairly reasonable, too. I would come back (but hopefully I don't have jury duty again for some time). read more

I was looking for a place that was open early for breakfast on a Sunday and Chris' fit the bill. I sat at the bar and ordered hot chocolate while I waited for my takeout. It was exactly how I like my hot cocoa, with plenty of marshmallows and whipped cream. The chocolate syrup was a nice touch too. I ordered the breakfast fried rice with scrambled eggs to go. There were small pieces of smoked bacon in the rice and a sweet chili sauce on the side. This is the 2nd time I've had fried rice for breakfast at a restaurant and I'm now in love with this idea. I'm an easy sell because I already love fried rice. This rice by itself was yummy and I almost didn't add the chili sauce because I thought it would mess up the dish. Then, I decided to try just a little sauce on some of the rice. OMG, you definitely want to add some sauce to this rice! It gives you a touch of sweet with the smokiness from the bacon. The sauce is reminiscent of duck sauce but the consistency is thinner and it's more flavorful in my opinion. They didn't skimp on the portions either; it was plenty rice for one person. I believe it comes with 2 eggs. Next time, I'd probably add a 3rd because there was a lot of rice. Not one complaint with this dish. FYI, they have a 15% takeout service charge. I'm guess it's something that was added during COVID. read more
