I’ve always wanted to try this place. Great service and great food. This place is truly a gem in the area. We tried the omelet and the skillet . The qualities were both great. They were stuffed with generous portion of ingredients. The price was also reasonable. I will definitely recommend this place if anyone is looking for a place to have some brunch.

First time there and it was great. The place was hopping, but the server (Anna) was friendly, attentive and very efficient. I enjoyed watching her interact with her elderly regular customers.

Price is just right, servings plenty, pancakes were big and fluffy, I had the tower grove and based from reviews I had high hopes but it’s just alright. My toast was burnt, if I was toasting bread for my guests, I wouldn’t serve that (see picture.) I asked our server if she would recommend the fried cheese and I was thinking the white frying cheese which were my favorite instead it was a cheese stick deep fried with breading. It wasn’t quite cheddar, but has a consistency of melting cheese, so maybe Velveeta? My mom had the omelette and it was on the dry side. The hash brown served with the orders were not quite crispy, more on soggy wet side. I would come back again because it’s breakfast and just order the regular American breakfast fare. Coffee was good and the coffee server kept coming back to check on our cups which I really like. Service is fast.

Staff was pleasant and kind. Food was delicious. But I don’t think this place deserves such common accolades. There’s a reason this place has been around for so long. The only downside was that I had a hard time choosing my meal because everything sounded so good. There’s something for everyone at Chris’! Like the Terminator once said… “I’ll be back.”

Landed here on a trip to St. Louis because it is a close walk from a bus stop. The service and atmosphere were both awesome. Dana checked on my several times and was super kind. The hash browns were crispy, the eggs were perfectly over medium, and the bacon was beyond perfect. I’d definitely recommend coming here!

Everything tasted great. We shared the bacon & cheese omlete. My son also got a kids grilled cheese. He wasn’t a fan of the hot chocolate and got a coke instead. I got a coffee with an added shot of espresso. It was delicious …

My husbands family is from Saint Louis and while visiting they really wanted us to try this spot out. The atmosphere was nice but the food not so much. I ordered the classic with Turkey sausage and hot chocolate. The eggs were runny and pancakes were hard, my mother inlaw and I had to send both our orders back. My husband ordered their Buffalo wings and breakfast fried rice. He said the fried rice was delicious but the wings had no flavor at all. They taste like expired hot sauce. We gave this restaurant a 6/10, because the hospitality was good but the food didn’t match.

Upon arrival, my family and I were seated immediately. We were welcomed with warm smiles from our waitresses Jondon and Dainna. These wonderful ladies took great care of us. Jondon made sure our beverages was refilled in a timely manner. Dainna made sure our order was 100% accurate and she nailed it! She is definitely a pro since she has been with the company for 35 years! The atmosphere felt very welcoming! I love restaurants that make you feel like family. We will definitely be back!

We only ended up here because of power outages in The Hill. How lucky we were to find this place!! From the moment our waitress first visited our table we felt like family. Appreciated, welcomed, and comfortable.

My son found this hidden gem on south west avenue. They have been around for over 37 years. Wow. I tried the country omelette and Belgium waffle. They serve breakfast all day. We will return to taste other items on the menu. Reasonable prices. Our bill was almost $40.
