    My beautiful turkey
    Deirdre G.

    I ordered TG dinner from this small local restaurant. I had never eaten there but the reviews were favorable and the menu was appealing. Many of the reviews mentioned a longer than average waiting period for the food, which I experienced. It was completely understandable because take home TG dinner is a big effort. Particularly the meticulous way this was formatted So, for my selections : I got a half a smoked/ roasted turkey, bleu cheese Mac, stuffing and sweet potato pecan pie. The smell driving home was divine. So divine that I abandoned all traditions and sat down to TG dinner the minute I got home.(it was Wednesday). This food was some of the finest I have ever eaten. The turkey actually made my eyes roll back in my head. I wish I had two stomachs. I actually feel sorry for those of you who aren't having Gooseberries this holiday. Thank you Gooseberries !!!! You gave me Goosebumps!

    I just had the greatest experience at Gooseberries! I called last week to ask them about reservation for brunch, I have a fairly large group (20 people). They actually don't take reservations but opened an exception for us, not only put the reservation in but they closed for us from 11 to 12:30. We got there today and they were waiting for us, very friendly and nice! Everyone was happy and pleased with the food and service. Thank you so much Gooseberries staff! You made our day! Food was awesome! I love the deep fried tofu.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Yum! I've been meaning to check out this funky spot for years and I'm so glad I finally made it! The vibe is quirky, relaxed/ friendly, and playful. The menu has vegan/ vegetarian stuff and also meat/ dairy options. I got the vegan nachos and beet Reuben which both delicious! The nachos were my favorite and I'm already craving them again. You don't even miss the cheese. My friend got the biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs and he said it was amazing. While we were waiting for our food the owner brought us over free popcorn! We'll definitely be back, this place was amazing!

    Specialty omelet choices

    WOW. Yelp pointed us in this direction for brunch, and it did not disappoint. We walked in and immediately got the scoop from Miles--pay up front, put in your omelet order when you arrive (see photos for a list of 5000 filing choices), and "Oh by the way, how do you feel about pancakes?" I was initially thrown off because the non-made to order stuff was set out in crockpot type dishes, but my wariness didn't last long. It turned out to be cafeteria style, down to the little paper serving dishes. Things I ate: -Freshly made tortilla chips with beer cheese: yum -The three house pancakes for the day (carrot cake, strawberry, and spinach/garlic): all delicious, went back for more of the carrot cake -Bottomless bacon: the thick cut kind, just the way I like it -Homemade donuts: chewy and covered in powdered sugar -Fresh blood orange/pineapple juice -World's best breakfast potatoes: seem to have been both fried and baked, amazingly seasoned, definitely had seconds of these babies -Omelet with bacon, cheddar, sauteed onion, and popcorn: well made, huge portion, hard for me to eat it all but I certainly tried! In addition to all of that, there were tons of things that I didn't have room to try: three different and beautiful salads, biscuits and a few kinds of gravy, sausage, pulled pork that looked legitimately smoked, fancy cookies, waffles, several tofu choices, bacon-wrapped chicken legs, and more. We came in from out of town and weren't familiar with the area at all. I'm not sure the restaurant matched the surrounding neighborhood, but we didn't care and street parking was easy and free. What really sealed the deal for me on this dining experience is that it was only $13 per person (very reasonable for brunch, even non-buffet style) but the quality of the food was absolutely outstanding, and it was clear that every single dish was freshly made. The only complaint I might have is that this brunch is only offered on Saturdays...if I were a local, I would need it way more than that!

    This place is so awesome. The food was excellent and the service by the owner matched some to the last minute. If you are tired of the everyday restaurant make your journey to this place. You can play board games while the owners make your food with love. They even give you fresh popcorn to keep you smacking until It's time to eat. Please Save some time to look at the wall art as well. I don't know how you could leave here unhappy.

    Daily specials with handpies that are to die for! I tried the butterscotch apple, pad Thai, and red eye gravy covered biscuit. I'm amazed at the talent and creativity in the food! It's addicting, delicious, and so well priced I find myself heading down Chippewa to try what's new. Perhaps walking there will make me feel less guilty at my indulgence. Must try, and to again to test out all of what's new.

    WC Fields omelette from Gooseberries.

    4.5 stars for one of the most scrumptious, trendiest brunch buffets I've had in town to date! Went on a rainy Saturday shortly after they opened. It gets packed quickly, so show up early if you want one of the few tables they have, or be ready (and comfortable) to share a table with strangers. I was amazed at the selection of items they had in the buffet - there really was something for everybody. Biscuits and three types of gravy, homemade pita chips and dips, bacon, sausage (get the sausage. GET IT), vegan donuts, carrot pancakes, and more. You even get your choice of an omelette with your buffet, which is both a blessing, and sadly, the one downfall of this amazing spot. My omelette had a slider smashed into it. You heard right (from a certain pale colored medieval sounding place). It even came with a packet of mustard horseradish sauce. You'll never want any other omelette again after trying this - I promise, it was that good. My only regret is that the omelette easily took over an hour to get, with how busy the restaurant was. I felt bad as I kept watching people pile in with no seats available as the rest of us waited. To be fair, when they brought the omelette out, we were told they were a man down that day. To conclude: I can't wait to go back to Gooseberries, and I wish these guys the best - my hope is that they're able to expand their space/kitchen relatively soon!

    The reviews led us here, and we were not disappointed. So happy we decided to check this place out. The staff is friendly, the decor is really neat, and the food was incredible. I love their logo! The prices alone should win the hearts of many. I got a delicious fried egg sandwich on homemade jalapeño cheddar bread and the daily handpie special (Mac & cheese!) for $5. Five dollars. The dining area is kitschy and clean -- lots to look at. We dined on a Tuesday morning and I cannot wait to go back for the Saturday brunch buffet. Support this great local spot -- it will not leave you wanting.

    Kristal N.

    This is a very nice, friendly, and DELICIOUS EATERY!!! Interestingly, the owner's 1st date was making hot sauce together! This is a cute old school vintage restaurant, with great customer service! I ordered the steak-n- cake, the carrot cake pancakes were my absolute favorite. Great for dates, family or meet and greet for friends... they have games to play and tasty popcorn to eat, while you wait for your food. Gooseberries offer amazing options for vegan customers as well. On top of that at at night the menu changes and it's BYOB! Stop by ASAP... you can thank me later!!!

    What doyou served during the week? Is it regular sit down lunch?

    As far as what we serve it is breakfast and lunch fare with meat, veggie and vegan options. We are a sit down restaurant but no table service. You order at the counter and we bring it to your table

    Upon being seated at the Crow's Nest yesterday, we were informed that the deep fryer wasn't working…read moreand that, because we were a group of more than eight, we would not be allowed to split our checks and would be charged an automatic gratuity. Not only were we not granted an exception on the checks as consolation for not being able to order french fries, there was no indication that this had even occurred to our server. This is precisely the level of temerity we need to inculcate in young women in our society, and I'd encourage her to apply for a job at the women's-only sports bar a few doors down if and when it ever opens. It'd be tragic if she wasn't there if and when I return, but I'd appreciate the fact that she has a greater mission. Hopefully, the deep fryer is working. It being out of commission naturally limited the number of things on the menu we could order. We were only told that we couldn't order anything that required a deep fryer, not given a modified menu or anything. I started going through each item and imagining how it might be prepared, but I couldn't muster the psychological bandwidth to continue. Hit my Cash App if you appreciate the amount of unpaid emotional labor I was compelled to contribute. It occurred to me that I might just get a burger and a side salad, but then I saw that they carry a club sandwich. I love a good club sandwich, and I figured it might make for a light, refreshing alternative, given the weather. There's an option to get a cup of soup for $1.50 extra as a side with your sandwich (no, they didn't offer to eat the charge), and I figured that might go well with my sandwich. I was kicking myself when they brought out someone else's order with the side salad. It looked really good. The Frisco Burger, or whatever they're calling it, looked good too. Meanwhile, the BBQ Beef & Cheddar Soup--the soup du jour (that's French), according to Flo--looked gross, like something your dog might cough up. But damn it was good! It was more beef than anything else. A large bowl of it might actually be too much food. (I'd still eat it, natch.) The overall flavor profile was along the lines of a good french onion soup. It was a reminder that I need to be ordering soup in restaurants more often. I wish the club sandwich was cut into little triangles and fanned out on the plate in some elaborate configuration, like at a place where rich old ladies have lunch, but I guess that wouldn't have been in keeping with the theme. Instead, it was served on the world's thickest Texas toast, with the world's dullest steak knife protruding from its center. This sounds like hyperbole, but I may have honestly been served the equivalent of half a loaf of bread. It was much more bread than I required, but at least it was fresh and delicious, as were all the other ingredients. Turkey used for sandwiches is almost never remarkable, but this was surprisingly great, as good as anything you'd get served as an entree unto itself. Nothing about this place suggests that it would have such good food, but it just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. The decor, the overall vibe and the lack of hospitality might not be for everyone, but don't let that deter you.

    What a great place! Popped in and found seating right away. The had a lot of great food and drink…read moreoptions, including vegetarian and vegan. We got cheese curds for the table and I got the hot honey mac and cheese. The food was delicious. They had a retro movie playing and lots of cute decor.

    Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

    *Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.
