    No frills, traditional diner experience. Got seated immediately and the food was exactly what you'd want from a diner: eggs your way, crispy hash browns, and fluffy pancakes. Good stop if you're by the airport or have a Global Entry appointment.

    As a St. Louisan, I'm mildly embarrassed to admit that I've never been here before. I've always seen it, just never stopped. Well after seeing a recent review, I decided to pay a visit. It was packed!! Wall to wall! But we were able to be seated pretty quickly. Because it was so busy, the wait time for our food was between 20-30 minutes. The service was as best as it could be. The food, was great! Will definitely be back to try the Oreo pancakes.

    It was a bit of a wait bc it was busy (around 11am on Sunday). They sat us down at a table, but informed us that it would be a wait. Lotta families and smiling faces there. As far as aesthetic, it's a simple diner/American fare look. I wasn't aware that their meats are turkey based, so sausage, bacon and ham (yes, I was thinking how that's a thing) are turkey based. And they have the option for beef bacon. I got a veggie omelet, my partner got an Ultimate omelet. We share pancakes, and they are the kind with the crispy edges. The waitress was very nice considering the busy atmosphere. So it is a place to experience a meal.

    Everybody I know swears Golden Pancake is the spot... I wouldn't go that far. It gave me old Goodfellow movie vibesreal throwback, nothing fancy. Food was cool, nothing to write home about, but my waitress? Top tier. Sometimes the service be carrying the whole experience

    Came here after Sunday service and I thought it was going to be packed but it wasn't! Got sat pretty quick and served the same. The place is pretty spacious with lots of seating. Everything I got was pretty good. I was actually surprised that they use just turkey products for the meats so no pork and I also love the variety of dishes you can get at this place if you don't want breakfast items. Was fairly impressed

    The service was fast and pleasant. The setting is a family friendly spot where you become family real quick. Now the food is the star!!!! Everything was AMAZING!!! The waffle was fluffy that it literally melted in my mouth, the grits were cooked perfectly, and the hashbrowns are what hashbrowns are supposed to be, GOODT!!!

    I was visiting the area for a concert and found this place via yelp. It's not much to look at from the outside and honestly looked a little sketch and the inside doesn't look like much either but don't judge a book by its cover. The staff was so nice, made us feel like family. The amount of food for the price is great and the food was really good and very flavorful. We got it the ultimate omelet and the breakfast sampler. No complaints here and will definitely make a visit here whenever I come back to STL!

    I am from Florida, staying at hotel nearby the airport and found this gem, breakfast was so delicious with a perfect balance of the ingredients resulting in the best breakfast I had in long time. Maxie was my server, her attention was outstanding, tomorrow I will come back with my team so all of us Floridian will have the best Missouri breakfast.

    A black owned IHOP. Nuff said. This place will always hold a place and spot in my heart for one of the longest black owned businesses in the Lou. A true go to for Sunday dinner, Saturday brunch, weekday refuel. If you know about Norms in LA, or Waffle House in the Hood, you should eat local, and enjoy one of the best that STL has to offer.

    Not the best photo but this breakfast spot is really near the airport. Good food, friendly service, and quick. I ordered the pancake sampler which had a sizable portion that I could not eat it all in one setting. The ambiance is casual. Most people are there to eat and fly out.

    The Food is amazing and the prices are wonderful. Max is always our server and she is sweet and fast. The location is always clean and smells great when you walk in.

    Bacon Burger & Fries
    Darnell S.

    First time here it was good. Went for my Aunts birthday she loves this place. I'm not big of breakfast so I got the double burger with turkey bacon(no pork sold in this establishment) everything came out fast and supremely delicious. Our server was nice and informative. A diner style setting one of those you pay after you eat type deals.

    The food was really good. I had the steak omelette and 2 buttermilk pancakes. The parking was horrible and that might be because they are by apartments and a hotel. I can definitely tell that they've done some work on the building from the last time. I've been a few years ago, but the service was OK. The wait time for the food was only OK because my friends and I were distracted catching up but on a regular day I would've felt like I was sitting too long.

But I made it in before peach season was over and it is truly my favorite time of the year Their peach Crepes are heaven. I always get the Dutch baby but peaches trump the DB. Our food was DELISH & our server was as sweet & efficient as can be. This food is not cheap and I understand people say it's breakfast food and consider it overpriced, but for me, I don't cook and eat out all the time, combined with the service and cozy atmosphere I think it's well worth the cost, my opinion. They have a great system and they stick to it. And it's a nice diverse crowd in there which I enjoy. Young old black white and everything in between.

I had heard incredible things…read moreabout it over the years and was exciting to finally try it, but nothing left me wanting to return. The service was good and ambiance was in line with your other major chain breakfast joints. We shared a few items - the breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, and seasonal berry pancakes. The breakfast burrito was fine, but I've had much better in St. Louis. The pancakes themselves were on the dry side, but not nearly as dry and dense as the biscuits and gravy. I don't think I would return when there are so many unique, local breakfast spots around the metropolitan area.

    A great experience!…read more We came for brunch on a weekday. Parking can be difficult at times but there is street parking and a small lot behind the restaurant. It can get busy and if it is I recommend joining the waitlist online. Although fairly busy we were able to be seated immediately. This place has a lot of windows so it feels nice and open inside. Specials are written on a board on the back wall next to the bar area. When seated you're served free concha's which is such a nice little touch and paired well with my iced horchata latte. My cousin also ordered a green juice (can't remember the name) and she loved it. For food we ordered a smoked sunrise Benedict, steak chilaquiles verde, and a side of hash browns. Our waitress was very friendly, service was fast, and the food was delicious! We absolutely enjoyed our brunch and will be back again. Absolutely recommend it.

    I finally checked out Oats and Honey cafe and it was delicious! We're so pleased with our visit…read more We were going to be in the area on a Sunday morning and thought it would be a great opportunity. They have a waitlist option on their website as well as the opportunity to make a reservation. We hoped on the waitlist as no reservations were available on short notice. I highly recommend joining the waitlist because there was quite a long wait when we arrived. We were greeted with a bread basket that had conchas. They were subtly sweet and fresh, plus they were warm. I love little touches like this. I had a hard time picking out what to drink. They have a fresh juice bar which I love, soft drinks, a coffee bar, and even milk shakes. They also have a full bar for cocktails, and a lot of their cocktails sounded delicious. I needed some caffeine and went with an iced latte which was very good. Their food options have a lot of variety! There is Mexican influence on the dishes which take your standard breakfast options to an entirely new level. I went for the carnitas omelet which had shredded pork and avocado. It was fabulous and the spices were wonderful. I also got a table pancake and it was delish. Our sever was wonderful and excited to hear it was our first time in. We're definitely going to go back!

I'm glad I entered from the opposite way google maps wanted me to add the lot isn't as big as it should be. The seating inside is a little cramped to me, at least where they sat us.

Outside of that, the service was really good. Great staff, very attentive. Menu had a nice option so it took us a minute to fully review the menu. The food was delicious.

Upon arriving, the parking lot appeared jammed pack, and you could tell there was a wait. I checked us in to be put on the waiting list. Our wait was about 30 minutes. We were sat at a two top table. A server came over to grab our drink order, and our actual server came over to introduce his self. Our server was polite and willing to answer any questions I had. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered short stack pancakes (w/strawberries and blueberries), bacon and eggs. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and savory. Bacon was crispy, and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a country omelet that came with a side of pancakes. He stated his pancakes were rubbery, but his omelet was good. This place is not very big and can feel quite cramped when full. There's not much room to stretch out, and when people are walking past it feels as if they are all up on you. The building was extremely cold, even with a jacket on. Very filling, and the prices are reasonable!
