    Cranberry Bread French Toast (1/2 Order)
    Amy S.

    Allin's Diner is a local diner filled with great food and lovely staff. When coming here, there is a parking lot, but it is a smaller lot. I have never had an issue parking here, though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, it is nothing fancy, just a stereotypical small diner setup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of my favorite things here are the facts listed on the napkin holders--such a lovely touch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the staff were friendly and service was excellent. I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla with regular sausage (it came with salsa and sour cream on the side) and a half order of the Cranberry Bread French Toast. It was so good! I love the quesadilla here. It was hot coming out of kitchen, flavorful, and so delicious! The french toast was also so good, the cranberries were juicy, and the small bits of walnut gave a balanced flavor with a slight crunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a smaller place, so seating can be limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can also hear the kitchen staff in the back cooking and preparing orders. I didn't mind this, I thought it actually helped contribute to the diner ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love this place and am excited to come back!

    5 star as always, great food and fast service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A little diner ambiance in the middle of St Charles MO.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Allin's diner is a classic mom and pop diner. It's cozy and small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was busy when we went on Sunday morning but we were able to sit down right away. We received service immediately and then got our food quickly. I got a breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. I wish there was a menu option to get all of that with a pancake! Overall we had a nice time and prices were very reasonable.

    Short stack was really good.

    Allin's has become my go to breakfast joint whenever I find myself in St. Charles. I've been five times now, all on weekdays so I don't know what the weekend crowd is like. The diner is relatively small, but I've never had to wait for a table and there are some seats at the counter to be had as well. My service is always fantastic. I believe the young lady who normally waits on me is named Casey. She's a sweetheart and is everything you want in a diner waitress. I've never had to ask for more of anything as she's always on top of it. I've only eaten breakfast food and it's excellent. Pancakes are solid and the eggs are always cooked correctly. This may also be the only place that asks everytime if you want your bacon done crispy or medium Always spot on and worth the visit.

    Eggs Nuevo at least the remains of it

    We were very hungry after an early hockey game at Centene Ice Center at Maryland Heights. And I've always drove past Allin's so it's time to try it today and we were not disappointed.. it's a small diner and the ambiance is great! We tried the Denver omelette, sausage and egg, french toast and my order Eggs Nuevo. Everything tastes ALL good and freshly made! We ate every bit of the food, it's that good. This is a great place! Highly recommended..

    Biscuits and gravy

    What a nice little spot and we were expecting decent food but we were really impressed! The biscuits and gravy were smothered with great flavor, the French toast was the best I've ever had, and the sides were cooked to perfection. The space is smaller so on a weekend fills up quick but it is definitely worth the wait compared to some of the chains in the area.

    Super small diner that is tucked away in St Charles - parking is scant, but it's so worth it! Such great food, reasonable prices, my coffee was always being filled up and the staff was super attentive. Look at the Mickey Mouse pancake they have for kids - my son loved it! I can't believe I lived in St Charles for twenty something years and never knew it was there - but I'll definitely be going back every time I visit home!

    Eclectic warm atmosphere neighborhood old fashioned diner known for hot coffee, breakfast and lunch grill favorites. Today after riding to St. Charles on the Katy Trail, we stopped here's for lunch. Tasty chicken philly cheese steak and Fritos! Fun!

    Diners Breakfast with a side of silver dollar pancakes

    Everything was amazing and I walked out satisfied. I drink a lot of water and they did not neglect my need for multiple refills. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so cute and quaint inside and had a homey feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Yum!!
    Jaye S.

    The chicken cheesesteak sandwich was a spot-hitter!!! And who could turn down the side of Fritos??!! That's not a choice anywhere else!! The waitresses were attentive, and even offered diet soda refills for us to take with us! This tiny local diner is cozy and friendly, with tasty food. The walls are covered with photos of past patrons....look for familiar faces!

    Absolutely loved our breakfast here! My husband and I sat on the patio overlooking the river, and…read morethe view alone made it worth the visit! So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

    What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area!…read more It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!

I felt as if we were kind of rushed when it came to eating, got the bill handed to us within two minutes of us getting our food, lol. No big deal, just have never had that happen before. I got the eggs Benedict and unfortunately I was not a fan of the hollandaise sauce. Salad was fine. Second time we came it was a wonderful visit! Came on a busy weekend morning and was still met with super friendly service, we loved our server and she was so kind. Sat on the patio, note to self: maybe try to sit inside during the summer time. Patio gets hot and humid FAST. This time I got the pesto chicken power bowl- LOVED it. I tried the donut holes which were phenomenal, too. We also got the biscuits, my mom loved them- they were a little dry for my taste. Still a great experience, however. Don't know what was wrong the first time but I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

I'd suggest that people were there to visit downtown St. Charles, or whatever it's called, which has a certain old-timey charm to it, but everything else was closed--presumably until later in the day, but who knows. That fentanyl is a menace. Parking could be a pain, if it's not the wee hours of the morning on a weekend, and you're not ambulatory enough to walk from a block or two over, and yet you're going to get essentially the equivalent of a milkshake and a donut. Inside is rustic, inviting and larger than you'd think, with an upstairs area that I didn't bother to explore, due to lack of curiosity. We had a larger group and ended up pushing a few smaller tables together, plus a few chairs we borrowed from other tables. No one seemed to mind. The key is not to ask first. That mentality will take you far in both the world of finance and dating. I'm kind of over ordering food from coffee shops, where they're obviously just throwing something in the microwave and charging you $10 for it, but I needed something to eat. I'd just gone for a run. Their burrito looked like the textbook definition of cultural appropriation, but it also looked like it might not be half bad. I had their equivalent of an Egg McMuffin, called Ron's Breakfast Sandwich, or something to that effect. When I hear the name Ron, I of course think of Sasso from Carlito's Way, but that probably says more about me than anything else. I'm assuming he didn't have anything to do with this. Essentially, this was a store-bought English muffin, a surprisingly generous and delicious helping of cheddar cheese, a few slices of seemingly prepackaged black forest ham and a fried egg. It was fine for what it was. Could the egg have been salted, could the muffin have been buttered and could the ham been an actual slice of Canadian bacon, or even better, American bacon? Sure, but I went into this with low expectations. The cheddar was melty and delicious, and weirdly abundant, but processed American cheese would have been more fitting for this kind of sandwich. You'd think a guy named Ron wouldn't object to processed foods. The caramel frappe I had was amazing. I got it with whole milk and whipped cream. I didn't bother to check and see if they charge you extra for whipped cream, which is the kind of crap some of these places have been known to pull. I got the 16 oz instead of the 20 oz, but it was probably still enough to take a day off the end of my life (when I don't need it as much anyway fwiw). Sometimes, when a food item tastes good enough, you can just tell it's not good for you, and that was the case with this drink. It was decidedly rich. I'm never in this part of town, and if I were, it would be at night, natch, but if things ever get to the point where they're clearly trending in that direction, I might start stopping by on the reg and getting that caramel frappe just to speed along the process of my demise.
