    We were greeted when we walked in. Great customer service. The avocado toast cut the roof of my mouth. It took about 40m for our food to come out and a 45m wait to be seated. There was plenty of parking. Our server was great and made sure we were well taken care of.

    During my first visit, I fell in love with this place. I've heard great things about it and had to give them a try. The food and service is amazing. Expect a wait when you arrive. Yes, this place is that good the line is literally out the door. But it's worth it!

    Best food on and in st louis ...Doctor approved

    Im a regular because I was told this was the best location for breakfast and kid you not it is....they have another breakfast spot on the hill and their new location in south county off Lindbergh they also have Italian restaurants as well called Barcelona's ..the best thing besides the food is the Service and the nicest people its hard to find Good Quality food with great customer service

    Omelet with hash browns ( also served with pancakes, not pictured)

    Came here on Memorial Day for breakfast. There was no wait. Chris' had some different stuff on their breakfast menu than they did last time I came. I ordered the summer omelet and added jalapeños and onions. Jalapeños were fresh but not spicy. Food was good as always and service was good!

    Pancakes with blueberries
    Alisha V.

    I was with a group of six people on a Sunday morning. They were busy, but it was so nice that they were able to see us right away. It's so hard to find breakfast in St. Louis that doesn't have a huge wait! The food was mostly good with a few exceptions. The pancakes were really disappointing, they were pretty dry and flat and not fluffy at all. The omelette was very good, but it had an enormous amount of onions in it. Everything else was excellent, including biscuits, fried rice, and breakfast tacos. I would definitely go back but would not get the pancakes and ask for minimal onion. Service was great and it's a very convenient location. I'm glad they are open downtown!

    A staple, although slightly overpriced. It names up for this with unmistakable quality, service, and co a great atmosphere. The drinks are so good, the service is so good, so fast, so friendly. Didn't mess up anything and was very nice. Loved the food too it was so tasty. Highly recommend!!

    Saturday breakfast felt like a possible morning of endless waiting, so when I saw that this place opened at 7:00am, I decided to go here on my last morning in town. I walked from my hotel, which was a good trek for the morning, but also meant I'd be able to walk off whatever I ate on my way back. I have no regrets. The restaurant is located immediately across the street from the courthouse, so there's plenty of old buildings to discover if you have the time to meander. Outside gave me a memory of some of the small restaurants on the pier near where I grew up, and indoors gave me that quaint feeling as well. The staff immediately sat me, asked if I wanted coffee before walking away, and gave me ample time to discover the menu before returning with my drink. I knew I wanted a biscuit, gravy, and eggs, but I also really needed a vegetable, so I opted for the Country Omelet AND ordered a side biscuit, which I split in half and enjoyed one side with gravy and the other with butter and jam when it all arrived. After ordering, I got up to use the restroom, and by the time I was back, my food was already up. Talk about fast service! Everything was delicious! The biscuit was light and went well both sweet and savory, and the omelet was seasoned well enough that I tasted every ingredient. I have never had a place put the omelet ON TOP of the hash browns, but I'm telling you, I may never have it any other way. The coffee was smooth and stayed warm in those mugs. I would have had another cup, but I was afraid I wouldn't have anywhere left to put it! I didn't think I'd eat it all, but also, mama didn't raise no quitter, so I devoured everything. In all, a great choice for breakfast in Downtown STL.

    Stopped in to have hot chocolate with my teenager. He loved it, staff was friendly, environment was perfect to chat and watch sports.

    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.

    Half order of biscuits and gravy
    Anida M.

    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.

    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!

I'm a vegetarian who doesn't love salad... I like salad, and I have loved a few salads, but I'm not thrilled about salads most days. I only had the one big salad. I split it w/ another person. We also split the 2 kinds of biscuits. But oh man. I could get wild about this food. I don't even recall what our salad was called. [Golden] beet something? I'd have it again, but several of the other salads also intrigued me. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can return to Neon Greens tomorrow.

Parking is mostly limited to street parking. We came in on a busy Saturday, and while the line was long, it was moving. We reviewed the menu posted on their glass prior to coming in to order. Since we had our dog with us, we made our salads to go. I had the Thai BBQ salad while my guy had the Elote Salad with smoked chicken. We did not add anything extra. The service here was on point. They also ask your level of dressing (light, medium, or heavy). We had medium and also ordered 2 of their Chili Crisp Chewy Cheese Bread, which is reminiscent of Brazilian cheese bread but with a kick. For drinks, we ordered Mexican Coca-Cola and Pineapple Palo Santo kombucha, which is locally made. Everything was perfect, from the balance of ingredients to the taste and crunch. They have indoor and outdoor seating and if sitting indoors, beautiful natural lighting comes in. I cannot wait to order our salads here!

The brisket was tender, but not covered in grease. The mac-n-cheese was actually flavorful - most mnc's are just bland noodles with cheese - not the case at all at Wally's. "What on earth is honey mustard potato salad?" Oh, only the best potato salad you'll ever eat in your life, if you like honey mustard. The baked beans had a chili flavor to them without compromising the bbq sweet you want from baked beans. The poppy seed slaw wasn't just covered in mayo, it was actually refreshing and a nice complimentary side to the uber flavorful bbq mains. And the homemade ice cream was insane alongside the bread pudding. It's a bummer someplace like this is in the middle of nowhere and not closer to more people. But that seems to be part of what Wally wants: home cooking done the right way. Not just "grandmas style" that only appeals to a niche group of people. Wally has crafted his food to be enjoyed by all who happen upon this tiny "diner" along Route 3. Make it a trip and wander past Red Bud and Ruma and get you some Wally's.

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up
