    Blueberry pancake stack
    Kathleen O.

    Food is perfect for a weekend big breakfast and it's also very affordable. Much higher quality compared to places like ihop and the wait staff was very friendly. Service was quick, and the food was good

    Eggs Benedict Breakfast
    Marty D.

    so sad. I walked in and saw the atmosphere and felt like I was back in the south. I thought the food was going to be spectacular. was very disappointed. the fruit cup was warm. the eggs overdone. and the hollandaise had way too much citrus it was too tart to eat.

    Salsiccia and eggs
    Jo Nell R.

    Breakfast early on a Saturday morning. They have on online waitlist but we didn't need it this early. Snagged a spot on the street right in front but they also have a small parking lot. Walked in and we were seated right away. Mindy was our server; she got us started with water and we ordered coffee. Mindy was friendly and waited on us with a smile. She took our order and the food arrived in a flash. I had let this place fall off my radar for whatever reason, but our food was fast and hot, and everything was great. I got a classic breakfast with Salsiccia. Eggs over easy and dry wheat toast. The order came out correct and the eggs were cooked as asked for. My friend got eggs with diced ham and a side of pancakes, she enjoyed hers, too. Coffee was fresh and hot, and I took mine to-go since I didn't finish it, it was decent. Good food, good service!

    From Chicago, in town to visit my daughter. She chose CP&D for brunch. Here are some thots: -Feels like a small town diner, very friendly, good service. -I ordered the classic breakfast with sausage patties--quite good. Scrambled eggs were slightly undercooked. Cakes were good. -It couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes for our food to come out, hot and delicious. I would recommend, if you're looking for a brunch spot that's not a chain.

    After reviewing the drink specials I ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte. I didn't really taste any brown sugar cinnamon. I really had a hankering for that flavor. I chose the half classic breakfast which includes one egg, two strips of bacon, hash browns or fruit and toast or pancakes. I'm glad I got the half. I ordered my egg scrambled. The egg had liquid on the plate and seemed undercooked. I asked for crispy bacon and it was cooked perfectly and they tasted great. I chose fresh fruit over hash browns and it consisted of cantaloupe and honeydew. The fruit was juicy but lacking in flavor. The restaurant should think about serving other fruit. I chose pancakes over toast and the pancakes were served hot and are very filling. The restaurant is very homey and what you expect from an established restaurant on The Hill. Dainna was my server and she was great. She treated me like I was family that she liked. They have a parking lot and there's plenty of street parking around the restaurant. Egg 2.5 stars Bacon 4.5 stars Fruit 3 stars Pancakes 4 stars Brown sugar cinnamon latte 3 stars

    Grits with chicken, cheese and jalapeños plus fried egg
    Claralyn B.

    Wonderful breakfast as always at Chris' Pancakes today! I had the grits and added suggested cheese, chicken and jalapeños. Boy was that tasty! Also had a fried medium egg and coffee. My boyfriend ordered the Classic with eggs, sausage, hash browns and pancakes plus coffee. Everything cooked perfectly. Server was attentive and atmosphere is warm and welcoming too.

    South of the Border bowl
    Melanie B.

    I was told this place had a pretty tasty breakfast so we decided to see for ourselves! We did not agree that it was all that great. We entered the building and figured out where to wait for a hostess. I hope she was having a bad day and isn't always as unpleasant as she was when she seated us. There was no greeting, no smile, just a real sour look. She seated us and took our coffee order. A server came over pretty quickly and we were not ready to order yet. As we were seated right next to the kitchen, he saw us often! We eventually made our meal choices and were ready to order. My husband ordered the South of the Border bowl. He said that it was okay. He got some toast with that as well. I got French toast and it was good - and way too much. Our server told us AFTER we were finished that I could have ordered half an order. I got a side of bacon and barely ate any of it because it was way overcooked and didn't taste good. A side came with the French toast and I got a bowl of fruit. It was about 90% honey dew and it had no flavor whatsoever. I did get an Irish coffee and it was good - and very strong! Our server saw how much food I had left and never asked if there may have been a problem. I doubt we'll be back.

    Breakfast Fried Rice
    Jonathan F.

    Always been a long time fan of Chris'-breakfast is my favorite meal! Especially pancakes! Tried the breakfast fried rice this time-Yum! Great with the chili oil! Also great service and awesome Irish coffee! Highly recommend.

I also got the apple dish, which was listed under the salads but the waiter was sure to explain it's not an actual salad. Since it wasn't a full salad I also got the soup. Both the apple dish and soup were really good. It's street parking but there's lots of spots in the area. The bathroom is super nice with hairspray and mints if needed. Nice place for a good meal.

Today finally came, and I got to visit on a Wednesday lunch. Our hostess and staffs were wonderful and made us feel so special right from the start. Of course, the food was the real highlight.

The grits were cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the gumbo.

I got the herbed goat cheese omelette and it was perfection. The side salad was perfectly dressed. I ate every last bite. No need to add additional seasonings. Husband got the ham & cheese omelette and felt the same. We split kids pancakes to get the toppings on the side. OMG people don't lie these are an indulgent and amazing treat. 4 stars overall because there are literally 0 modifications which is kind of annoying in my opinion. Like, they were out of hoagies and there was no way to say - I'd still get the sandwich just put it on different bread. Or I don't want mayo. Find that odd. I guess it's a choice but it does deter me from rushing back or trying more on the menu, and be aware if you go. Ps does seem there is an allergy option so if you do have an allergy I suppose you can check that but I'm not sure how to note what you need a change; didn't see it in the QR-only ordering.

    The Fleur-de-Lys is the epitome of a luxurious getaway. Whether it is the quaintly appointed guest…read morerooms or the delightful library and parlor, each area of this former residence is unique and meticulously maintained. While it is not likely the norm, the owners, Mark & Leslie, met us at the front door, quite literally inviting us into their establishment. It was simply the most welcoming manner in which to be introduced to this treasure and Leslie quickly engaged us with the history of the home and how she and Mark had recently become the owners. We chose this destination based upon the significance of the Fleur-de-lis to my love, a native New Orleanian. Given St. Louis' rich French heritage, the mansion was originally outfitted with four chimneys that feature the fleur-de-lis design and the pattern is repeated throughout the home. While we enjoyed a quiet morning coffee in the back of the property, a lovely shaded patio area, she noticed how many places the symbol was present. She actually made mention to Mark & Leslie that they could make an activity out of counting/finding all of the fleur-de-lis around the home. What a fun idea! We were fortunate enough to book the Tower Grove Park room, a spacious room fitted with a king-size bed and a two-person jacuzzi tub. There is even a 'fainting couch' for that extra French touch! The bed was amazingly comfortable and the decor and accoutrements were exceptional, right down to the pocket doors and writing desk. But a B&B is set apart by the fare served in the morning, and this is where Mark, a chef by trade, and Leslie, a self-taught baker, knock it out of the park. That morning's menu included a fruit starter, fresh juice, Leslie's home-baked sourdough toast and home-baked English muffins, and Mark's egg and sausage soufflés with country potatoes. The entire breakfast had us completely over the moon! We felt so at home that we wanted to clear our own place - so we did! The rates are competitive and well worth every moment spent here. There is parking behind the property, as well as across from the property, and each guest is allowed a unique security code so as to gain entry while you are enjoying your stay. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this getaway, and Mark, Leslie, & assistant Sammy made us feel like family from the moment we crossed the threshold. We'll be back - and you should give Fleur-de-Lys a try!
