    Inside
    Lisa W.

    Chris was the only close walking distance breakfast place near our hotel. Everywhere seems a little further from the arch. We wanted a sit down breakfast. The place is huge, plenty of seating. It was newer and clean inside than what I was expecting. We were seated right away and ordered chai lattes. The chai latte was okay. Wasn't as creamy as we hoped for. As for breakfast, I normally like just like a ham or bacon omelet but my friend wanted to try the UFO, and we split the UFO, replaced side with biscuits and gravy (for extra $) and she got the chicken and grits. The UFO omelet was ok, but not normally what I would prefer. My friend ended up not liking it bc it was too "wet". Should have just gotten what I wanted. The grits with chicken bits had jalapeños and it was a good taste. I enjoyed that more. The jalapeños gave it a good kick. The biscuits and gravy were rich, and thank god we only got a side order and it was a good deal to replace the side with it. It was pretty good too, just rich. Service was fine. There wasn't a lot of people, it was also a Friday morning. Not a bad breakfast place to come to.

    Hadn't been here in a while, but while downtown soaking up the Mardi Gras fun, we decided to pop in--and I'm glad we did. My friend grabbed breakfast and said it hit the spot, but let's be honest... we were really there for the mimosas. Who says Mardi Gras has to start with a hurricane? We went rogue and ordered the Mimosa‑Rita, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend adding it to your celebration lineup on your next visit. Cheers to switching things up!

    Half order of biscuits and gravy

    Went here on a Friday morning during our visit to St. Louis. The place was not too busy around 9 am, so no wait or anything. We ordered the UFO omelet, grits, and half an order of biscuits and gravy. The omelet was okay, although I think it would be better if the salsa was on the side so it doesn't get so soggy. The grits were really good and had a good spice level to it.. not too heavy or buttery either so yum!! The gravy on the biscuits had awesome flavor and the biscuits weren't too dense.. definitely one of the better biscuits and gravy I've had! It was also A LOT! We also ordered hot chai teas to go, which were just okay.. there was a certain flavor to them that wasn't quite what were used to, and not as creamy as we were expecting. If you're looking for an affordable place for breakfast downtown, this is your spot!

    Underrated in the heart of downtown St. Louis, right by the courthouse, Chris' at the Docket is the ultimate breakfast/lunch spot. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite before a court appointment or meeting friends for a leisurely foodie meetup, this spot delivers. The menu features a thoughtful mix of classic breakfast staples and inventive dishes. The portions are generous, the coffee flows freely, and the staff treats you like family--exactly what you want to start your day. Look at the spread! Omg! Pro tip: Come early--it's no secret that this place is a favorite among locals, and it fills up fast!

    Wow! What a great find! We walked over from our hotel and then stopped off at the City Garden on our way back. The outside doesn't look like much. Sitting on a busy street, the large corner diner hid so many things on the outside. The room is big and bright. Sunlight streamed into the renovated modern room. It was cheerful and very clean. Walking in, a super friendly man greeted us like we were family. He was all smiles and pleasant conversation. Our server also offered that same personable service. Our breakfast choices were served piping hot and delicious. Everything was so fresh. I loved my veggie hash and my friend raved about her breakfast fried rice. My friend also tried a snazzy latte and said she loved it so much she would have one everyday if she lived nearby. This non-touristy diner is a real gem for locals and visitors alike.

    I absolutely love this place. Food was incredible, great service, and everything came out within 10-15 minutes. Definitely will be back next time I'm in St. Louis!

    UFO omelet with hashbrowns and pancake
    Lauren P.

    The HK bowl was amazing. Being dairy free, they cook with oil so I didn't have to worry about the butter issue. The bowl was spicy! The aioli was delicious. If you don't like spice I'd ask for less jalapeño. Every flavor went well together! My boyfriend got the UFO omelette and says it had amazing ranchero sauce. It was huge and stuffed. The pancakes were very basic. 100% would recommend coming here. It was good service and great food!

    Awesomeness every time

    First meal at St. Louis. Recommended from lady at our hotel and didn't disappoint. Biscuits and gravy were pretty tasty, Waffles were good Chicken was a little dull on flavor nice and hot though! Good Coffee and service, warm welcome to the city

    The food and service is excellent! We're from the Chicago area, we came here two times a couple of months ago. And we're back with the whole family today. It's never been crowded each visit. Very clean! Great choices on the food, you can even have a mimosa!

    The 314 mimosa is a bit sweet but everything they serve is delicious. You will not be disappointed

    We landed and walked to this place from our hotel. Breakfast fried rice? Yes please. Mimosas to go? Yes and yes. Our server was so great and getting lit at 9am on a Sunday was the best! The place was walking distance to a lot of areas and was nice and clean.

    Grilled Chicken & Avocado Sandwich
    Money F.

    3 stars because the food is just OK and the customer service is OK. We tried the chicken and avocado sandwich with fruit, a side of pancakes and the UFO skillet. Again, the food is just OK. Nothing to rave about. The website said the pancakes were award winning but I disagree. Everything came out on time, order taken in a timely fashion and the hostess said hi and bye. Nothing to complain about or be excited about regarding customer service. I'll come back to try drinks and other menu items. Its a sizable, casual place to go if you want breakfast/lunch in the downtown area.

    Biscuits and gravy.

We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches.

I'm a huge fried chicken fan and I've been to them all - Porter's, King Edwards, Hodaks, Kentucky Fried, Churchs, Gallagher's across the river. Every time I visit a new area, I look for the used book stores and the chicken restaurants. The pieces here at the St. Louis Room are huge and meaty. Perfectly done and juicy - I have never gotten an over- or underdone piece. The skin is crispy and crackly. Not much seasoning at all, so you can taste the chicken. The restaurant is on the 6th Floor and it is an all-you-can-eat buffet, but you can also get the chicken plated in the 2nd floor restaurant. Along with the fried chicken are two surprisingly good and large buffet tables. On the hot foods buffet: mashed potatoes (instant - ugh! - substitute a yummy baked potato instead, found on the end of the buffet), a creamy gravy with a touch of what tastes like nutmeg (weird, but it *works*), two soups (their famous French onion soup is also available - request it from your waitress), spaghetti, cornbread and greens. Also on the hot foods buffet is a taco / baked potato bar. On the salad buffet is a wide assortment of fresh veggies to help you compensate for your guilt in overeating that fried chicken! There's a small selection of desserts, and you can request their fabulous bread pudding from the waitress - it tastes exactly like my great-grandma used to make back in the day. Service is always good and extremely friendly. Most of the waitresses have been there for *years* - I always sat in the wait area of Ms. Mildred for 20+ years, until she passed away recently, and you'll often see people waiting for a table to be cleared in "their" waitress's area. There are two lines for checking out - one line takes cash or credit, the other line takes cash only. I recommend you bring cash to get out quicker because the credit line takes much longer. Everything is available for take-out as well. My only complaint is that they sometimes temporarily run out of chicken due to the high volume of customers. It only takes a couple of minutes before they bring out fresh trays, and then you'll see the waiting crowd fall on them like starving birdies on a winter's day will fall on bread crumbs. The cost for this never-ending feast of fabulous fried chicken is $9.00: drink, dessert and tax included.

Packed with flavor and perfectly balanced between savory and indulgent, every bite felt like comfort food done right. The crust was golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and held everything together without falling apart. It's rich, so come hungry. Night 2: Meat Me in St. Louis Had to come back and try one of their signature options, and it did not disappoint. Loaded with meats but not overwhelming, and the flavors all complemented each other really well. It's hearty, bold, and exactly what you'd expect from something with a name like that. What really stood out both nights was the consistency--fresh ingredients, quick service, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it an easy go-to spot whether you're grabbing dinner solo or with a group of hungry robotics kids. Pro tip: Don't skip the dipping sauces--they take everything up another level. Two nights, two wins. I'd absolutely go back again.
