Pancake with strawberries
Teresa S.

Everybody I know swears Golden Pancake is the spot... I wouldn't go that far. It gave me old Goodfellow movie vibesreal throwback, nothing fancy. Food was cool, nothing to write home about, but my waitress? Top tier. Sometimes the service be carrying the whole experience

As a St. Louisan, I'm mildly embarrassed to admit that I've never been here before. I've always seen it, just never stopped. Well after seeing a recent review, I decided to pay a visit. It was packed!! Wall to wall! But we were able to be seated pretty quickly. Because it was so busy, the wait time for our food was between 20-30 minutes. The service was as best as it could be. The food, was great! Will definitely be back to try the Oreo pancakes.

Spinach Omelette
Dranoel W.

It was a bit of a wait bc it was busy (around 11am on Sunday). They sat us down at a table, but informed us that it would be a wait. Lotta families and smiling faces there. As far as aesthetic, it's a simple diner/American fare look. I wasn't aware that their meats are turkey based, so sausage, bacon and ham (yes, I was thinking how that's a thing) are turkey based. And they have the option for beef bacon. I got a veggie omelet, my partner got an Ultimate omelet. We share pancakes, and they are the kind with the crispy edges. The waitress was very nice considering the busy atmosphere. So it is a place to experience a meal.

Came here after Sunday service and I thought it was going to be packed but it wasn't! Got sat pretty quick and served the same. The place is pretty spacious with lots of seating. Everything I got was pretty good. I was actually surprised that they use just turkey products for the meats so no pork and I also love the variety of dishes you can get at this place if you don't want breakfast items. Was fairly impressed

The service was fast and pleasant. The setting is a family friendly spot where you become family real quick. Now the food is the star!!!! Everything was AMAZING!!! The waffle was fluffy that it literally melted in my mouth, the grits were cooked perfectly, and the hashbrowns are what hashbrowns are supposed to be, GOODT!!!

Churro French toast

I am from Florida, staying at hotel nearby the airport and found this gem, breakfast was so delicious with a perfect balance of the ingredients resulting in the best breakfast I had in long time. Maxie was my server, her attention was outstanding, tomorrow I will come back with my team so all of us Floridian will have the best Missouri breakfast.

I was visiting the area for a concert and found this place via yelp. It's not much to look at from the outside and honestly looked a little sketch and the inside doesn't look like much either but don't judge a book by its cover. The staff was so nice, made us feel like family. The amount of food for the price is great and the food was really good and very flavorful. We got it the ultimate omelet and the breakfast sampler. No complaints here and will definitely make a visit here whenever I come back to STL!

A black owned IHOP. Nuff said. This place will always hold a place and spot in my heart for one of the longest black owned businesses in the Lou. A true go to for Sunday dinner, Saturday brunch, weekday refuel. If you know about Norms in LA, or Waffle House in the Hood, you should eat local, and enjoy one of the best that STL has to offer.

Not the best photo but this breakfast spot is really near the airport. Good food, friendly service, and quick. I ordered the pancake sampler which had a sizable portion that I could not eat it all in one setting. The ambiance is casual. Most people are there to eat and fly out.

The Food is amazing and the prices are wonderful. Max is always our server and she is sweet and fast. The location is always clean and smells great when you walk in.

Bacon Burger & Fries
Darnell S.

First time here it was good. Went for my Aunts birthday she loves this place. I'm not big of breakfast so I got the double burger with turkey bacon(no pork sold in this establishment) everything came out fast and supremely delicious. Our server was nice and informative. A diner style setting one of those you pay after you eat type deals.

The food was really good. I had the steak omelette and 2 buttermilk pancakes. The parking was horrible and that might be because they are by apartments and a hotel. I can definitely tell that they've done some work on the building from the last time. I've been a few years ago, but the service was OK. The wait time for the food was only OK because my friends and I were distracted catching up but on a regular day I would've felt like I was sitting too long.

2 Pancakes Philly Omelet Hashbrown Side Apple Juice
Kevin R.

The service was amazing and prompt. I was able to walk in and seat down immediately. The waitress greeted me and gave me a menu and took my drink order. Upon returning, she took my food order with no pad or anything, just off her memory, I could tell she was a veteran at this. The place has that 80/90 feel to it, nothing fancy about it, with plenty of tables and seating. Some tvs mounted on the walls but it just feel like your back in the day in there, even the waiter's uniform look old school. Anyway, my food was okay. The pancakes were probably the best thing sadly to say. While everything looked amazing, the omelette was just bland. There was no season what so ever. The same could could be said about the hash browns, the lack of seasoning was a huge let down. The salt and pepper I added couldn't save it. However, I would come back to try some other items just to see if it was just those particular items or just that cook that day. Because like I said, the presentation, was amazing!

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday late morning. They have a few tables for outside dining or you…read morecan sit inside. The parking lot was filling fast. I'm glad I entered from the opposite way google maps wanted me to add the lot isn't as big as it should be. The seating inside is a little cramped to me, at least where they sat us. It was a 2 top next to the wall across from a 4 top. Between our table and the next was a tiny path to the bathroom area which is too close. Next time, I'll be specific with where not to seat me. Outside of that, the service was really good. Great staff, very attentive. Menu had a nice option so it took us a minute to fully review the menu. The food was delicious. Cinnamon roll was very sweet as expected so brace yourself. My menu mimosa was pretty good. A lot of pulp from the mango and not enough champagne but still enjoyable. We will definitely.

My husband and I wanted to try a new breakfast spot. We stopped by another spot in the area but the…read morewait time was over an hour. So we pivoted and came across Chris' pancakes. Upon arriving, the parking lot appeared jammed pack, and you could tell there was a wait. I checked us in to be put on the waiting list. Our wait was about 30 minutes. We were sat at a two top table. A server came over to grab our drink order, and our actual server came over to introduce his self. Our server was polite and willing to answer any questions I had. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered short stack pancakes (w/strawberries and blueberries), bacon and eggs. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and savory. Bacon was crispy, and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a country omelet that came with a side of pancakes. He stated his pancakes were rubbery, but his omelet was good. This place is not very big and can feel quite cramped when full. There's not much room to stretch out, and when people are walking past it feels as if they are all up on you. The building was extremely cold, even with a jacket on. Very filling, and the prices are reasonable!

We stopped by for brunch on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised by the wait. Despite the wait,…read morewe decided to stay because we knew it would be worth it. They seated us at a long table with people at the other end, but we still had ample space. To started our meal, we ordered a hot chocolate and coffee, along with some of the delicious doughnuts. Those doughnuts were scrumptious, and I even made sure to save one chocolate for after my breakfast. For my main course, I opted for the BBLT, which was an enormous sandwich filled with all the classic ingredients: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, over-easy egg, and aioli. It was served on a wheat bun with breakfast potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal to kickstart my day. We also shared a giant blueberry pancake, which was a complete meal in itself. I'm still reminiscing about that delicious pancake along with everything else and can't wait to return to this place for another delightful brunch experience!

I live in Soulard but was in Clayton every morning a couple weeks back and ended up eating here 3…read moretimes because I really liked the food and service. I initially visited this place because it's a rare downtown restaurant with great street parking so I always knew I could find a spot (huge plus!). My first visit I tried the blackberry cheesecake stuffed French toast but It didn't seem like it was truly stuffed with any cheesecake. It had some on top though and the flavor was still great, just a bit dry. I should've gotten a bit of syrup on the side. I washed it down with an iced French toast latte that was crazy good so I ordered one to go. Finally my server was Molli and she was just perfect. Sweet, talkative, and attentive -- oh and to top it off she saved my butt after I left my credit card there. I hope she sees this because I appreciate her! The next two times I visited that week I was craving oatmeal and they delivered in an elevated fashion. Their banana walnut oatmeal is decadent. I love boring oatmeal at home but it doesn't have to be boring. Half & Half elevates this humble dish into an incredibly tasty experience. I can't get oatmeal at other places now! I washed it down with some OJ that was just alright. It doesn't taste like it's freshly squeezed in house like other breakfast spots in Clayton but it's hardly a complaint. I will visit this warm and cozy spot many times over.
