This place had delicious food! Long wait for a table on a weekend morning, but no one can help that. I took one star off because we ate at the high top/diner area where they were making drinks & it was soooo loud! Otherwise great atmosphere. I'd wait longer to get seated in the dining room area, though! read more

This is a fantastic brunch spot. Got the chorizo and avocado Eggs Benedict, it was delicious! They give a generous serving of potatoes on the side with it. The waiting line can be long, so it's best to get there early. read more

The food was not worth the wait. I get that brunch is the thing to do and I've heard of half and half before but 1.5 hour wait!!! The BF and I have avoided going here because when I call and am told the wait will be an hour we always choose to pass. However we weren't as hangry as we usually are after church so we thought we'd give it a try and see if it would be worth it. The vibe of the place is cozy, the staff are all friendly but the drinks are pricey. They do not have bottomless mimosas (because of the fresh squeezed orange juice) or Bloody Mary's. But they were both good. After waiting an hour and a half we were seated and ordered our food right away. We didn't wait long for the food but once we got it weren't that impressed. I got the Cali omelette and he got the steak and eggs, good but not great. I'm rambling but long story short, after waiting for an hour and half I thought i would at least get my food and be floored, and I wasn't. If you plan to go here on a Sunday , I would say come super early or wait until 1230, I started hearing people's wait times to be 30 minutes at this point. But safe to say I won't be returning. read more

I'm sad to give such a low rating because initially I loved it here (chorizo eggs benedict or French toast). As time has gone by, it seems like they're going down hill. The last time I was in, the Benedict was extremely soggy and had a sour tinge. My bf ate tamales, he'll eat anything, but he wasn't impressed. I figured I'd give it one last try this morning - the French toast was not edible - it was entirely uncooked throughout the center. The manager discounted the price, which is really kind, but there's no reason to not get it right. Also- the staff isn't too friendly here. I do like their decor and orange juice - hopefully the bad has just been a fluke the last few times! read more

This place is legit. Some of the best coffee I have ever had (pour over). Veggie scramble was solid. Fresh baked bread! About all you could ask for in a breakfast spot. read more

Came on a Saturday so the wait wasn't long compared to a few winter Sunday mornings when I tried to go previously. Food was great! Egg Sandwhich, Blackberry French Toast, Omlet with Brussel sprouts were all very good! I wouldn't hesitate going back considering the friendly and attentive staff! read more

10 bucks for 3 pancakes, I don't think so!! They were good but no pancakes are worth that.

Few friends and I came into today to try it. Its awesome! Tried the sweet potato hash and it was great. It wasn't heavy like a lot of breakfast food can be. Served in a cast iron skillet which was pretty sweet. Side note coffee snobs they serve blueprint coffee so expect good things! read more

The Girlfriend and I have only been here once but it has certainly made it onto our "list"! Being a STL native and a Southsider at heart (but residing in Florissant), if there is a Slinger on the menu it's gonna get tried. It was excellent. The Girlfriend had a breakfast sandwich of some sort which she thought was quite good. The place was very busy around 11:30am and we did have to wait for about 15 minutes for a table but the service was fine and the food came quickly. Oh yeah, the Bloody Mary with a fried pickle garnish? Highly recommended! read more

I usually love this place but it was awful today. Maybe a new cook? Brussels sprouts were very under cooked. Bad service. Gravy was blah. I hope they get back to yum. read more

This is a fantastic breakfast/brunch restaurant. My wife and I went on a Sunday and the wait was an hour so be prepared for that. It was well worth the wait though, waiters were friendly and timely, food was absolutely amazing, and the vanilla chia tea was incredible. I had the eggs Benedict with chorizo and Avocado which I was hesitant about because most restaurants over do chorizo making it too spicy and too tangy but it was really fantastic. This is a dynamite restaurant don't have any doubts about going. read more

Absolutely fantastic food!! Had the sausage biscuit and hash browns, so filling and delicious! Great service and very cool/laid back environment. One of the best brunch spots I've been to! read more

So yummy! Avocado and chorizo Benedict was delicious. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back soon! Tip: get here early! we were there at 9 with no wait! By 9:30 there were ~15 people in line! read more

got the veggie hash which tasted ok. my husband ate the eggs Benedict with spinach and avocado which was much tastier. recommend the cappuccino! staff was accommodating and so nice. definitely use the no wait app! place is always so packed. read more

This place has a LOTTA hype. I came here with my family and a friend. When we got there, the waitress said we could use the No Wait app. I downloaded it and signed in. It said we had 45 mins tops before we had to come back. We went to Companion, just down the street, and got a few things before returning. Then we *still* weren't seated. We waited another hour and fifteen minutes before being seated. We ordered right away, and the food came half an hour later. That makes a total of 2.5 hours of waiting! Was it worth it? Pretty much. The place was very loud and cramped. We got the donut appetizer. The donuts were small spheres and unlike any donuts I've ever had before: light on the inside and coated with large grains of sugar. Yummy, but slightly out of place next to other things on the menu. I got the BLT omelet. The omelet was delicious, though I was a little put off by the iceberg lettuce that could have come from Subway carelessly thrown on top. There was some bland toast and potatoes on the side that were all right. They mostly functioned to fill me up after I was done with the omelet. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delightful!!!!!! Worth paying 3+ dollars for. If you come here, you might as well go all out on the money. I also tried everyone else's. The lemon french toast was very decadent, like a dessert. I enjoyed it, but it would have made too sweet a brunch for the average person. Then there was the salmon dish, which I didn't like because I don't like sunny side up eggs or salmon, but if you do, then it's probably good for you. The dishes on the menu seemed pretty traditional with some cool things thrown in there, like s'mores french toast. It's very tasty. I would recommend if you have some patience and time on hand. read more

The blackberry french toast & (expensive!) homemade OJ were perfect. My husband enjoyed his meal as well, some kind of breakfast sandwich. His side of potatoes were dynamite. You can tell a lot of care has been put into all of the details. Loved the menu and the 'open' sign that was a bike. The only downside for me is the location, I'm not really in that area much. This is the closest thing to my fav breakfast place ever, Snooze's in Denver. We didn't have to wait for a table. read more

I cannot trash talk the place, I will simply say that it was ok. I had the chorizo with cornbread and potatoes. Nothing special. I thought it was overly priced for simple basic tasting food. Do not mean any disrespect but it was ok. I will say my waiter was really good, he was over a few times to make sure everything was good, job well done and I said to him and of course tipped him well- as he deserved it. Thank you read more

First time here for brunch and I loved it! Delicious coffee. Omelette was excellent as were roasted potatoes and toast. Will return!

Loved it! Yummy bloody Marys and Cava Mimosas. Veggie hash made me love brussel sprouts. Lol. Hubby had biscuits and gravy and side of yummy bacon. All tasty. Will definitely return! read more

We are from Kansas City so Biscuits and Gravy we are snobs about! This place had some of the BEST biscuits and gravy! The meal comes with two eggs any way and I got some bacon on the side. The bacon defiantly tasted smoked like it was cooked on a campfire! My fiancé got the Huevos Rancheros and JE LOVED THEM! The black beans avocado and salsa were so fresh! I definitely reccomend this place if you're looking for good brunch food with a twist! The lattes are to die for as well! read more

Best breakfast in Clayton. Be patient. Lines are long. Try the steak and eggs. Awesome. Coffee is so so ...

Sooooo good! Highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich. This sandwich is heaven.

great pancakes and French toast.... awesome service!

I loved the egg and veggie hash. Perfect combination of roasted brussel sprouts and spinach and a nice runny yolk on top. I love this dish and want to come back! read more

Great place for breakfast. Long wait, well worth it. Best coffee in town, everything homemade. Quality food, quality service.

Came by myself for a late breakfast. The service was great. My server seemed well informed and was attentive. The food was just ok. I ordered Tess's Toast which was french toast toppped with blueberries and lemon curd. The combination was delicious. My issue with this dish and each dish I received was that they all came out luke warm...i also ordered bacon and breakfast potatoes. None of these items were hot and the potatoes lacked flavor. The ambience of the restaurant is darling. I'm just not sure if I would go back... read more

Pancakes were burnt, bacon was Oscar Mayer cheap stuff, biscuits and gravy were cold. Never coming back. Clayton fluff with no guts.

Good food, but the service is not very good! Tried it twice with my grandpa and both times the food was great, but the service sucked! Had to ask multiple times for milk for my coffee, always waiting for a refill, forgot to bring our biscuit. Wish they would step up the service game! read more

We drove over twenty minutes to restaurant and wait was exaggeratedly long for under par food and service .

I have heard that the food here is terrific. However, I would not myself be able to confirm this, even after two visits. The first visit resulted in me and some friends sitting at a table for 2.5 hours without ever getting our food served (we saw our waitress maybe twice over this time, and our multiple requests only resulted in us getting water). I left without ever getting food. Two weeks later we went back to give it another try, but left after waiting to be seated for five minutes - the wait staff (consisting of 5 or 6 people) simply never paid us any attention. We also were not allowed to sit at the bar for some reason. To put it plainly, I cannot go back to Half & Half, as to do so would put me in a position of being utterly disrespected for a third time. No thanks. read more

We've been back two times since my original post. The food is still out of this world, and they now have real maple syrup, phew! But the wait time? Are you kidding me? It's absolutely absurd. I want to love this place. I want to go often--we eat breakfast out every single Sunday we are in town. But I cannot convince my husband that the food is worth the wait. Especially since we go early (right at 8) and have our 2 year old around. She's a patient, well-behaved kid. But 45 minutes or more to get our food will stretch my patience, let alone hers. Sigh. Please, please, please fix this. Please! read more

My family and I have eaten breakfast here every Saturday morning for the last 3 months. We have never waited more than 20 minutes for a table. We have always received prompt, courteous service even though the place is packed. The veggie hash is addictive and the oatmeal is out of this world. I seriously have never had oatmeal like this before, made with milk and slightly sweetened with maple syrup, it is served with blueberries, strawberries, supremes of orange, blackberries and pecans. We've also ordered the fried egg sandwich, the french toast with lemon curd and blueberries, breakfast tacos, biscuits and gravy, and the steak and eggs. We have never been disappointed. Best breakfast/brunch/lunch in Clayton!!!! Get in here!! read more

I was so excited to try Half & Half as I had heard so much about it. I REALLY wanted to like this place. It's close to my place and it's not a chain. Plus, I've always heard good things! The first time, I went with the better half. We shared the cornbread with blueberry butter. I'm a tough one to impress with cornbread, as it is one of my top 5 favorite foods of all time. It was crumbly, but the blueberry butter helped make up for it. The bf had the Grilled Salmon BLT - it was great! I may get crucified for this, but I was unimpressed with my brioche french toast. It had mascarpone and peaches-sounds delectable, but was flat. Not too sweet, but no depth of flavor. I wanted some warmer notes to it- like homemade peach pie deliciousness with the soft sweetness of classic french toast. Today, I go back with the BFF(- yes. I realize I'm speaking in text vernacular. Yes, I am educated beyond highschool).Back to the food: Is it OK to crave a bloody Mary when you're not hungover? Oh well, I was craving a bloody Mary, and I have to say, it may have been the worst bloody Mary I've ever tasted. Complete with a deep fried pickle. Pass. My server, so stinking sweet! I never send drinks back, and she was so nice about it! Even let me know i wasn't the only one who sent theirs back....I'm hoping that it was the day and not the recipe for their mix. Sad news. The BFF ordered the classic egg, potato and toast breakfast, while i opted for Clara Cakes. Slightly similar to the french toast I had the last time, but this time with pancakes, layered with berries and mascarpone, topped with granola. My pancakes were dense, and the mascarpone was dolloped in the middle of the pancake, so i had to work to get to it. The granola on top was a nice texture contrast. I ended up getting half way through them and had to quit. Too much. I also ordered a side of 2 poached eggs, which were ever so slightly overcooked (my yolk was a bit cooked on one side of it). Tasted delicious with a pinch of salt from the pinch bowl. I tried to get over how skeeved out I was that other people's (and possibly their kids') fingers had been in the same salt dish before. All in all, I'm not sure I'm gonna be dying to go back. Maybe for the Salmon BLT.Sad but true. read more

Went here yesterday at the recommendation of Yelp. Checked out the website beforehand and was enticed. It was a lovely little place, and the food was distinctive. My husband had biscuits n' gravy and I had the California omelet. So fresh and delicious! We also tried their unique donuts and a chai tea latte. So yummy! We will be back and also to check out their evening restaurant the Little Country Gentleman. read more

Today was our first and final meal at Half & Half. The Brioche French toast was almost entirely bread with absolutely no egg mixture in the middle of either piece and had an orange flavoring that was not mentioned in the menu description. It was more like grilled pieces(2) of bread that had been smeared with orange marmelade butter. The other dish, the special potato pancake and eggs offering was previously cooked potatoes and mashed potatoes shaped then heated. This is not a potato pancake. The pork gravy was a dark gravy full of onions. It was served with the eggs on top of the potato mush with the gravy over part of the eggs and on the plate. Onion gravy smells bad in the morning and this dish was not appealing at all. It all seemed like leftovers. No garnishes were on either plate. read more

BLT omelette and coffee. Great breakfast. I would have taken a picture, but I inhaled it.

The food is absolutely delicious, however, the service is extremely disappointing. I always expect to wait at Half & Half ( it's so worth the wait usually). Today, I went to put my name in with the hostess and she said my friend and I would wait an hour. After waiting and watching everyone else be seated, we started wondering when we would be seated. About 5 parties that arrived significantly after us were seated before us and we started to get frustrated. Finally, after speaking to the other host, we were seated. Upon being seated, we sat at our table for 15 minutes before anyone even greeted us. I watched as servers/ host talked to other customers and each other. Finally, I asked the host yet again if we would get a server in our section that day. After all of that, I was incorrectly over charged for several items and I could sense that our server was irritable that I noticed the incorrect items on our bill. I will never go back to eat at Half & Half, even though it is so delicious. Extremely disappointing. read more

The food...so good. So, so good. I mean really great! The service...so, so bad. Our party of three ordered brioche french toast (OMG good), blueberry pancakes (delish!), a custom omlette with spinach, brussell sprouts, and cheese with a side of roasted potatoes (so good); eggs benedict with roasted potatoes; and steak and eggs. All the food was really, really good and I would definately go back for that. The service on the other hand...not so much. We arrived at 11 am and were told the wait would be 1.5 hours. We waited 20 minutes and our name was called. Once seated the waitress took our order, the server brought our food in a reasonable time BUT the orders were wrong. Confused, we told her these must be another table's items. Five minutes later the server shows back up with the waitress in tow and proceeds to slam all the plates on the table in front of each of us. The server leaves, and the waitress steps up to our table and says, "You don't like what you ordered?" No, we like what we ordered, but that's not what you just served us. She realized that she got the orders wrong and brought us the corrected items. At no time during our visit were we offered a refill on our coffees. I would return for the delish food and expect poor service. read more

I think they changed the recipe for biscuits and gravy. It tastes more like chili or bean dip than country style gravy. Very unfortunate as this was my go-to place. read more

Shitty service, overrated and bland food. Clara cakes were dry, better off with regular buttermilk pancakes. Veggie hash was slightly better, but didn't live up to the hype. Bottomless coffee was hardly bottomless as our server kept forgetting to refill our coffee. read more
