    Breakfast was hot and tasted great! Service was prompt and courteous. I will definitely be back. Prices very reasonable as well.

    Very disappointing experience. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it…read morewas not prepared properly. The eggs were overcooked, and the sausage was barely warm. When I brought this to the waitress's attention, I was told there were no refunds, and she brought me a new plate--even though I clearly explained that I did not want another plate. After waiting over an hour, we needed to leave and simply wanted the meal removed from our bill. We were again told they would not refund the meal. It took raising our voices before they finally agreed to remove the charge. The long wait, poor food quality, and especially the way the situation was handled made for a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

    I had a terrible experience here. The wait time was absolutely ridiculous--we waited over an hour…read moreafter ordering and still didn't receive any food, while tables around us who arrived later were already being served. To make things worse, our waitress was extremely rude and dismissive the entire time. Her attitude alone made the situation even more frustrating. At one point, some of her comments even came across as inappropriate, which was completely unacceptable. Overall, the service was disorganized, unprofessional, and honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Dined here on a quick visit to STL and it was wonderful! My husband found Southwest Diner on Yelp…read morewhile searching for brunch spots near our hotel, and the 1200+ positive reviews sold it for us. We found a parking spot on the street nearby, and we were able to be seated right away on the patio. There were other patrons, but it wasn't terribly busy by any means. The menu is expansive, with lots of ways to customize your order with different breads, toppings, or meats. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with Tinga Chicken, and my husband ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. We also shared an order of the seasonal Pumpkin Spiked Pancakes. Everything came out hot and fresh, and every bite was delicious! The pancakes are made with cornmeal, and they were flavorful but not too sweet. The gravy for the biscuits is made with their house sausage, which makes it taste even better. I'd definitely return to Southwest Diner the next time I'm in town!

That illusion fades a little if you sit outside on a humid St. Louis summer day, but the vibe inside is great. The food is consistently tasty, the Bloody Marys are solid, and the whole place has a classic diner feel with a Southwest twist. There's usually a wait on summer weekends, so just keep that in mind, but it's definitely worth it.
