    We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning, planned it to arrive when they opened at 9:00 as did other folks. The place filled up fast! We walked in and were greeted and seated right away. The space is open with high ceilings and tall windows. Lots of art on the walls, available for purchase. Service consisted of a few different servers; all were efficient and friendly. We took a bit to figure out what we were ordering but our server was ready when we were. I was leaning towards the Chakchouka but at the last moment decided on El Cerdo - Carnita potato, spinach, corn, jalapeno, and 2 poached eggs covered in tomato-chipotle salsa. Coffee was hot and fresh and kept refilled. When my dish came out, it was so delicious looking! Turns out it tasted so as well! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the combination of all the ingredients mixed well together. I loved the hint of jalapeno throughout. It will be hard not to order this again. The building is a shared space, and the restroom is down a hallway. It was clean and well stocked. They have another location but haven't visited as of yet

    I came here for brunch with my Dad, bonus mom and sister because I saw they had a frozen espresso martini, and I have to try it. They had a small weight but nothing too long maybe five minutes and then we were seated. This place is small, but cute and the service was great. I loved the frozen espresso martini and the food was cooked to perfection. Next time I'm home I will visit.

    Egg is the perfect name for this Benton Park spot. Eggs as a food staple seem simple and straightforward, but they're almost magical in all of the ways they can be used. From the outside, Egg the restaurant looks unassuming, but the moment you open the door and see the lovely and interesting decor and smell the aromas from the kitchen, you know it is something special as well. The owner is very welcoming, as if he is inviting you to his home, which is lovely. We ordered the Chakchouka with merguez and the ojja with shrimp. Both were completely delicious. I added a turmeric latte, which was unique and so warming. There are so many more items on the menu I want to try, so I know I'll be back soon--but it'll be hard for Mr not to order the ojja again; it was so good!

    I'm obsessed with Egg. I frequent both locations. When I am looking for some great food to help me feel happy, Egg is one of the first thoughts that comes in my mind. I love bringing people here. I always get great service and the food comes out fast. There is commonly plenty of room at the bar, if you can't get a table. One thing that I like about this location is the look of the place - it's small, but the artistic nature of it is visually pleasing.

    Pancakes, pork belly Benedict, and BREAKFAST TACOS
    Hanna K.

    Always a great brunch spot! Love the food and atmosphere. Small menu but they do everything 10/10. You can't go without getting a Benedict... Specifically the pork belly one. It's on top of corn bread and will change your life.

    Great food. Service was excellent. We got here at about eleven on a Tuesday morning and were seated quickly. The server was attentive and very helpful. Had a salmon omelet, mussels and grits, French toast, and the cornbread Benedict. All of the meals were excellent.

    Shrimp and grits
    Chevy R.

    Ask about the special! Shrimp and grits was not on the menu but it was an eggceptional special. The shrimp were cooked perfectly but could use 2 more pieces. It's flavorful and slightly spicy. My first visit but not the last. All the dishes that came out were a big portion. The service was good. There is no cold/ice coffee. They serve alcohol with bar seating. A bit small, not best for a large party. They opened at 9am and full by 10.

    It was so delicious! I can't wait to go back and try something else on menu. It all looked and smelled incredible.

    Pork belly cornbread Benedict
    Sara M.

    I got brunch at this place recently with a friend on a Sunday morning around 10. She had the mahi-mahi Benedict and I had the cornbread pork belly Benedict. Neither one disappointed. I'm not a big fan of breakfast potatoes but I do love theirs for some reason. Our server was also the bartender and while he wasn't super friendly, he was attentive and took care of everything we needed. The only minus to this place is they don't have a solid host game. When you walk in, no one tends to pay attention or come over to seat you. I walked and waited for a few minutes, then walked up to the bar and asked if bar was open seat seating and he said no sorry though please wait to be seated sign isn't up. He seemed slightly annoyed that I even asked, but I had been standing there for a few minutes and I know he saw me. He immediately said to me at a table, but the people behind me were all still just standing there and he did not even address them. I get it. He was kind of the only one available, but I would at least yell to the people at the front, I'll be right with you so they at least feel acknowledged.

    Lovely service from a great server who gave my party a complimentary shot of the good stuff. We came at a great time when it wasn't busy, enjoyed ourselves and the delicious food. Will go again, and again, and again. The Best Brunch Spot in STL

    Tostadas with chorizo. The Verda sauce on top was spicy but once mixed in with the beans and egg yolk mellowed to just a flavorful spice.

    Brunch after Tower grove market. A easy drive from the park. Sign/location a little difficult to see from the street. Cosy seating. Aztec art. Service was friendly and quick with seating, drinks and food. Meals ordered- tostadas, pulled pork hash and French toast. The French toast was fluffy and sweet and a great chase to the more spiced and savory items.

To be a last minute find a place... that was close by, easy to get into and DELICIOUS! This place checked all the boxes. We went in around noon. We bought parking close to The Arch but it didn't start until 2 PM so we were trying to time it just right. We were here just over 1 hour. It allowed us plenty of time to eat and drive time to Arch parking. It wasn't on purpose but we both ended up with chorizo. I had a chorizo bowl with sunny eggs. I did want some fruit so I ended up with a side of fruit and 2 biscuits. The biscuits are droolworthy; Not enough places make biscuits like that. My wife ordered the chorizo omelet. She loved it but had plenty to take for leftovers. They have a small parking lot but we parked on the nearby side street and didn't have an issue. I thought we'd have to wait for a table but we didn't have any wait. Maybe this is a hidden gem of St Louis. It certainly is to us because it was so tasty. This place deserves all the business. 269 percent worth checking out! What are you waiting for?

I got an NA elderberry lemonade spritzer that was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the shrimp and grits (they were soooo good, buttery, rich, and flavorful) and a side of potato wedges to share. The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!

Then we spent the next 10 minutes trying to walk back to our car while having an app explained to us so "you can check for open tables at other places." There were maybe 3 people eating in the entire front area. So out of towner's, dont spend the 5 minutes looking for parking and the 5 minutes walking to this establishment to be treated like some peasant commoner who is sullying their establishment.

Not only were we not granted an exception on the checks as consolation for not being able to order french fries, there was no indication that this had even occurred to our server. This is precisely the level of temerity we need to inculcate in young women in our society, and I'd encourage her to apply for a job at the women's-only sports bar a few doors down if and when it ever opens. It'd be tragic if she wasn't there if and when I return, but I'd appreciate the fact that she has a greater mission. Hopefully, the deep fryer is working. It being out of commission naturally limited the number of things on the menu we could order. We were only told that we couldn't order anything that required a deep fryer, not given a modified menu or anything. I started going through each item and imagining how it might be prepared, but I couldn't muster the psychological bandwidth to continue. Hit my Cash App if you appreciate the amount of unpaid emotional labor I was compelled to contribute. It occurred to me that I might just get a burger and a side salad, but then I saw that they carry a club sandwich. I love a good club sandwich, and I figured it might make for a light, refreshing alternative, given the weather. There's an option to get a cup of soup for $1.50 extra as a side with your sandwich (no, they didn't offer to eat the charge), and I figured that might go well with my sandwich. I was kicking myself when they brought out someone else's order with the side salad. It looked really good. The Frisco Burger, or whatever they're calling it, looked good too. Meanwhile, the BBQ Beef & Cheddar Soup--the soup du jour (that's French), according to Flo--looked gross, like something your dog might cough up. But damn it was good! It was more beef than anything else. A large bowl of it might actually be too much food. (I'd still eat it, natch.) The overall flavor profile was along the lines of a good french onion soup. It was a reminder that I need to be ordering soup in restaurants more often. I wish the club sandwich was cut into little triangles and fanned out on the plate in some elaborate configuration, like at a place where rich old ladies have lunch, but I guess that wouldn't have been in keeping with the theme. Instead, it was served on the world's thickest Texas toast, with the world's dullest steak knife protruding from its center. This sounds like hyperbole, but I may have honestly been served the equivalent of half a loaf of bread. It was much more bread than I required, but at least it was fresh and delicious, as were all the other ingredients. Turkey used for sandwiches is almost never remarkable, but this was surprisingly great, as good as anything you'd get served as an entree unto itself. Nothing about this place suggests that it would have such good food, but it just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. The decor, the overall vibe and the lack of hospitality might not be for everyone, but don't let that deter you.

    Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

    *Not accessible *Not kid friendly…read more This location has a lot of improvements to be made. The menu is bland and they deter you from making modifications. I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.
