We tried their lunch menu and was not disappointed. My husband had the regular philly and I chose the chicken philly. Both freshly made, so it was hot and delicious. Whenever we are in the area it is a must we stop for donuts! They are the best!

The customer service was just average. The young lady was working on some to go orders when we arrived. She didn't greet us. She was very nice when taking the order. The food came out quickly. The gyro was well seasoned. The burger was just okay. I did like the mushrooms and Swiss cheese. They only offer medium well and well done. You can tell it was a frozen patty. The fries were mid. The buffalo wings were decent. I came to try the doughnut cheeseburger. They were out of glazed doughnut. It was near closing time.

Me and my two youngest kids decided to try Hendel's for the first time since resturant suggestions…read moreon google maps told me it was only 7 minutes from my house! They definitely did not disappoint! From the moment our food came out, everything smelled amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries with the spinach dip, and I absolutely loved the homemade chips that came with it. My kids got kids' meals and enjoyed their food as well. I also ordered a chicken Philly to-go for my son since it was his birthday, which made the visit even more special. Emma was our server, and she was very nice and attentive throughout our meal. I also loved that they have patio seating it's such a nice option, especially on a beautiful day even though we did not sit outside the patio seating we wanted was not open that night. I also liked how they had merchandise to buy while in the restaurant like tees, sweatshirts,bottles of wine . They also cook books for sale in their resturant by another shop we had recently been to called Made by Lia. That was definitely a nice community touch to show how close the area is to their companions! In addition, we had a great first experience and will definitely be back with the rest of the family!

If Hendel's were a character, it would be Hagrid: enormous warmth, big portions, an old house…read moreyou're glad exists, and not much interest in refinement. The building does a lot of the work here: an old place sitting in the middle of Old Town Florissant's residential blocks, with a bar, a dining room, a porch, and a patio we didn't get to use (next cool evening, we will). It's charming, and a real asset to that neighborhood. It is also loud. Old plaster, hard surfaces, not enough hung on the walls to absorb any of it. The old fashioned was solid, sweeter than I prefer. Appetizers were the low point: toasted ravioli thick and hard enough to qualify as gum scratchers (filling was fine), flatbread middle of the road. Then the kitchen found its footing. Parmesan-encrusted chicken won the table, with a nice rice-orzo pilaf and green beans that weren't overcooked. The Jameson whiskey burger came blue cheese, bacon, crispy onions, glaze, brioche, and ate dry (although ordered medium): too many rich flavors, nothing acidic to cut through them. Burnt ends mac and cheese was good and rich, but the brisket wasn't tender as I had hoped. We caught a night with only one dessert (a moist Lemon Sunshine cake that tasted like a Dreamsicle) and ice cream to put beside it. Christy took good care of us, efficiently and strictly by the book. 3.7 out of 5 stars Punch up the apps, and bring some balance to some of the entrees and this would bring up my rating to the low 4s. Bring the relatives who flinch at a menu. Acid somewhere on the plate, tender brisket, ice cream by the cake, and something soft on those walls would move this up quickly.

I also asked to add steak. The flavor - soo good! Portion was just right. It had spice to it which I like so if you aren't one for a teeny tiny bit of spice, it's not for you. It's by no means hot - just flavorful.. it hit the spot! Husband got the breakfast tacos with chorizo. He liked his plate as well, along with a mimosa flight! We ate on the back patio under a shade but the building provided chase anyway. Peaceful back there. Service was friendly and quick! I recommend if you're in the area!

I was shopping nearby and searched for a local coffee place, and this one had great reviews…read more It's super cute. The crowd seemed to be 1/3 to go drinks like me, and 2/3 folks who wanted to dine in, with breakfasts and coffee flights. All of the staff were friendly and professional and busy. It seemed like a good sized food and drink menu for such a small place. I love Mexican food, so I'd definitely love to stop in for actual food at some point. Went with the Mango Refresher, rather than a coffee like I normally take. It wasn't too sweet, which was a little worry. I'm not a sweets person.

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!

Wow! What an experience…read more Naturally, I had to get a glass of their crisp Italian Pinot Grigio. It was a must with the girl chat we were having and I was tempted to order another, but we would've never left if I had. I started with the lava roll. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture as I ate it within approximately .3 seconds of it being set on the table. Flavorful, and had a kick of spice to it! Next, we ordered fries and had to throw in another round because they were so yummy. The sauce that came with them... um yes, they know exactly what they are doing. I also asked for honey mustard, and Marcus literally went in the back and made me my very own sauce. How exceptional?! I'm talking about both Marcus and the sauce he made, yes, exceptional! For our entrees, my friend ordered a classic pepperoni pizza and I had Marcus surprise me with mine. He chose the salmon entree, which I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. The skin was crispy, salmon was cooked to perfection, the risotto had a burst of flavor, and everything worked well together. Also, it was a gorgeous plate. I wanted dessert but we were so stuffed, we had to pass. But it gives us an excuse to come back and see Marcus.... And try more food.

We've not had a bad experience with service at any point. The host(ess), waiter, and bartenders always do a fantastic job. Sometimes it can be quite busy and when that's the case, it can be quite noisy in the bar area. The rest of the restaurant remains far quieter even during rushes. It's also a nice place to visit when the weather is nice because they have a lovely patio. The only nuisance are random cars and/or motorcycles that drive by and continuously rev their engines. Not Prasino's fault, just the ignorant people driving by. All in all, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour offer great options for everyone. The best part of Prasion is tasting the fresh ingredients they use.

Even though it was just the two of us this time, we were seated right away. As the hostess led us to a table in the back, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Erin was our server again. She's upbeat, friendly, and always welcoming with a smile. Erin does an excellent job staying attentive and making sure guests feel taken care of throughout the meal. We started brunch with coffee and water while looking over the menu. My wife ordered the Brussels and Eggs, and I went with the Belgian waffle with a side of hash browns. Our food arrived within about 15 minutes, and everything was fresh, hot, and very enjoyable. The service was phenomenal. Erin checked on us several times during our visit without ever being overbearing, which really added to the experience. After two great visits in less than a week, I think we may have found our new go-to brunch spot.
