After sitting down, I noticed paper menus sitting on the counter, so I walked over to grab them. The lady at the register, who later claimed to be the manager after I asked to speak to one, said, "I will bring them to you." Also fine. I simply went back to our booth and waited. When she came over, instead of saying hello or introducing herself, her first words were, "You need to practice a little patience." That immediately put my service radar on high alert. There was no attitude from us, no complaints, we had simply walked over to grab menus. The comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. She then asked what we wanted to drink. I calmly asked, "Can you wipe the table down?" Her response: "It is." I replied, "It is not there are spots on the table." She then pointed at the table and said, "These are imperfections." I know the difference between imperfections in a surface and spots that can be wiped clean. The table clearly had residue on it. Rather than simply wiping it down, she chose to argue. At that point, I told my husband, "Let's just leave." The entire interaction felt dismissive, defensive, and rude. When I asked to speak to a manager, she claimed she was the manager. I let her know directly that her tone and behavior were inappropriate, and we left. Customer service is about making guests feel welcome. This felt the exact opposite. I should have trusted the 3.7-star rating, but I gave the benefit of the doubt. That was a mistake. Do not waste your time or money here.

My friend and I went to City Diner for lunch around 1 PM. Although it was a bit crowded, we were…read moreable to find a seat right away. Our waitress was very kind and checked on us frequently. From what I remember from my middle school days, City Diner is the best place to get a burger in North County. As a big burger fan, I truly love the burgers here. I ordered the Adam's double cheeseburger with a side of fries, and as always, it was delicious--I loved it! The ambiance can feel a bit crowded and loud, but it's definitely a great spot to grab lunch with a friend. I wouldn't recommend it for large groups, as it's more suited for smaller gatherings. Overall, the staff interacts with customers, shares stories, and ensures you have a wonderful meal. I highly recommend checking out City Diner and forming your own opinion about the restaurant!

Stopped in on 7/5 around 1045am for breakfast. Place was just over 1/4 full and they had 3 or 4 ladies taking orders. They were prompt in initial greeting and order taking (this is where two stars come from) but after that it all fell apart. Two simple orders; French toast with two eggs (over easy) and two pieces of bacon, and a slinger with rye toast. Order took a bit longer than anticipated to arrive, not too big a deal, but the order came out piecemeal with neither of us getting our all items on initial service. On both the eggs were cooked over hard, the bacon was burnt, the slinger missing cheese, and the "hash browns" lacked any seasoning or proper cook to them. Rye toast came out about 10 minutes later and barely warm let alone toasted. The French toast didn't even arrive till after all the other food was gone. It was cold, soggy, and clearly needed more time on the flattop. Server tried to do her best, but there appears to be no way for the kitchen to tell staff that food is up aside from them having to always keep watch. They lack any ability to keep items warm once it leaves the kitchen, and they really need to get a new cooking staff or at least get some training for their cooking staff. Florissant lacks any good breakfast food locations that are not fast food and they really could increase their business if they take time to look at and fix their internal problems.

Walking in, it is nothing fancy, just a stereotypical small diner setup. One of my favorite things here are the facts listed on the napkin holders--such a lovely touch! 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. It is a smaller place, so seating can be limited. 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. I love this place and am excited to come back!

This diner has limited seating with a full counter area and a couple 2 top tables. Sitting at the counter there are menus and condiments available between seats. They have a nice menu serving breakfast and lunch. I went specifically for something with gravy and that was a good choice. I ordered the Sandy Stack with a biscuit topped with hashbrowns, sausage and scrambled eggs then covered in gravy. The gravy was sooooo goood!!!! This breakfast was delicious. Most people there seemed to know each other, definitely a locals hangout. That didn't bother me, I didn't feel out of place. But I wouldn't say I felt "welcome" either... A greeting or smile could take the experience to the next level. Either way, I may be back again anyway - the food is delicious!

**May 2025: Weekday Morning Visit**…read more My friend and I were looking for a quick on the go breakfast to take to the airport before our flight. I found this one on Yelp and the distance (3 miles away) and the fact that it appeared to be a local joint checked all my boxes. This small mom n' pop shop is located in a very suburban area of St. Louis and parking is plentiful. They played 90s type of music and had a wide array of donuts to choose from, though my friend and I decided to each get a breakfast burrito as we prefer a savory start to our day. The burrito was made to order and had one egg, mushroom, onions, sausage, potatoes and salsa. It was delicious. Super savory and I really enjoyed how the mushrooms gave a nice meatiness to the burrito and the caramelized onions gave a slight sweetness to contrast the heartiness of it all. My only critique is that the burrito is wrapped a tad loosely, but it's not a deal breaker. Also the price point - $5.99 (+$.50 surcharge for egg) was extremely reasonable. Honestly, if I lived in the area I would probably be a regular here. Otherwise the next time I'm in town I'll surely be back!

At noon on a Sunday, it was bustling, but luckily, there was a very short wait for a table. Our server, Antigone, was fantastic! She provided amazing recommendations, was extremely warm and friendly, and made our experience very pleasant despite the somewhat lengthy wait for our food. The food was well worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed my order of salmon croquettes with rice and a biscuit. My mate's Build-A-Breakfast order of scrambled eggs, hash browns, and chicken wings had some of the best-tasting wings that I have ever had in my life. When I return to Hive Cafe, I will absolutely order the chicken and waffles just so I can have an order of those wings to myself.

The server came over immediately and gave me menus. I briefly saw the menu online but figured I'd do a once over before making my decision. I went with the build-your-own breakfast and got the eggs and potatoes with a biscuit and turkey sausage. Drink wise, I went with water and a strawberry-pineapple mimosa. The mimosa was so refreshing and I def. appreciated the pour after a stressful flight! It wasn't long until my food came out. I was a bit disappointed at the portion of the egg as they seemed almost too small for what I was supposed to receive. The peppers on the potatoes threw me off. I think I was expecting something different. Nevertheless, they were good but not what I had pictured. Surprisingly, the biscuit was the highlight of my meal. It was perfect! The turkey sausage tasted like regular turkey sausage, so nothing special there. Overall, my server was awesome and gave great service. While I enjoyed my visit, it would have been nice if there signs to let customers know they're under construction instead of walking into dust on the floor, chairs, and everywhere. Aside from that, I def intend on coming back!

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!
