    My beautiful turkey
    Deirdre G.

    I ordered TG dinner from this small local restaurant. I had never eaten there but the reviews were favorable and the menu was appealing. Many of the reviews mentioned a longer than average waiting period for the food, which I experienced. It was completely understandable because take home TG dinner is a big effort. Particularly the meticulous way this was formatted So, for my selections : I got a half a smoked/ roasted turkey, bleu cheese Mac, stuffing and sweet potato pecan pie. The smell driving home was divine. So divine that I abandoned all traditions and sat down to TG dinner the minute I got home.(it was Wednesday). This food was some of the finest I have ever eaten. The turkey actually made my eyes roll back in my head. I wish I had two stomachs. I actually feel sorry for those of you who aren't having Gooseberries this holiday. Thank you Gooseberries !!!! You gave me Goosebumps!

    I just had the greatest experience at Gooseberries! I called last week to ask them about reservation for brunch, I have a fairly large group (20 people). They actually don't take reservations but opened an exception for us, not only put the reservation in but they closed for us from 11 to 12:30. We got there today and they were waiting for us, very friendly and nice! Everyone was happy and pleased with the food and service. Thank you so much Gooseberries staff! You made our day! Food was awesome! I love the deep fried tofu.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Yum! I've been meaning to check out this funky spot for years and I'm so glad I finally made it! The vibe is quirky, relaxed/ friendly, and playful. The menu has vegan/ vegetarian stuff and also meat/ dairy options. I got the vegan nachos and beet Reuben which both delicious! The nachos were my favorite and I'm already craving them again. You don't even miss the cheese. My friend got the biscuits and gravy with bacon and eggs and he said it was amazing. While we were waiting for our food the owner brought us over free popcorn! We'll definitely be back, this place was amazing!

    Specialty omelet choices

    WOW. Yelp pointed us in this direction for brunch, and it did not disappoint. We walked in and immediately got the scoop from Miles--pay up front, put in your omelet order when you arrive (see photos for a list of 5000 filing choices), and "Oh by the way, how do you feel about pancakes?" I was initially thrown off because the non-made to order stuff was set out in crockpot type dishes, but my wariness didn't last long. It turned out to be cafeteria style, down to the little paper serving dishes. Things I ate: -Freshly made tortilla chips with beer cheese: yum -The three house pancakes for the day (carrot cake, strawberry, and spinach/garlic): all delicious, went back for more of the carrot cake -Bottomless bacon: the thick cut kind, just the way I like it -Homemade donuts: chewy and covered in powdered sugar -Fresh blood orange/pineapple juice -World's best breakfast potatoes: seem to have been both fried and baked, amazingly seasoned, definitely had seconds of these babies -Omelet with bacon, cheddar, sauteed onion, and popcorn: well made, huge portion, hard for me to eat it all but I certainly tried! In addition to all of that, there were tons of things that I didn't have room to try: three different and beautiful salads, biscuits and a few kinds of gravy, sausage, pulled pork that looked legitimately smoked, fancy cookies, waffles, several tofu choices, bacon-wrapped chicken legs, and more. We came in from out of town and weren't familiar with the area at all. I'm not sure the restaurant matched the surrounding neighborhood, but we didn't care and street parking was easy and free. What really sealed the deal for me on this dining experience is that it was only $13 per person (very reasonable for brunch, even non-buffet style) but the quality of the food was absolutely outstanding, and it was clear that every single dish was freshly made. The only complaint I might have is that this brunch is only offered on Saturdays...if I were a local, I would need it way more than that!

    Daily specials with handpies that are to die for! I tried the butterscotch apple, pad Thai, and red eye gravy covered biscuit. I'm amazed at the talent and creativity in the food! It's addicting, delicious, and so well priced I find myself heading down Chippewa to try what's new. Perhaps walking there will make me feel less guilty at my indulgence. Must try, and to again to test out all of what's new.

    WC Fields omelette from Gooseberries.

    4.5 stars for one of the most scrumptious, trendiest brunch buffets I've had in town to date! Went on a rainy Saturday shortly after they opened. It gets packed quickly, so show up early if you want one of the few tables they have, or be ready (and comfortable) to share a table with strangers. I was amazed at the selection of items they had in the buffet - there really was something for everybody. Biscuits and three types of gravy, homemade pita chips and dips, bacon, sausage (get the sausage. GET IT), vegan donuts, carrot pancakes, and more. You even get your choice of an omelette with your buffet, which is both a blessing, and sadly, the one downfall of this amazing spot. My omelette had a slider smashed into it. You heard right (from a certain pale colored medieval sounding place). It even came with a packet of mustard horseradish sauce. You'll never want any other omelette again after trying this - I promise, it was that good. My only regret is that the omelette easily took over an hour to get, with how busy the restaurant was. I felt bad as I kept watching people pile in with no seats available as the rest of us waited. To be fair, when they brought the omelette out, we were told they were a man down that day. To conclude: I can't wait to go back to Gooseberries, and I wish these guys the best - my hope is that they're able to expand their space/kitchen relatively soon!

    The wings, Black and blue macs, and vegan chili‼‼

    This place is so awesome. The food was excellent and the service by the owner matched some to the last minute. If you are tired of the everyday restaurant make your journey to this place. You can play board games while the owners make your food with love. They even give you fresh popcorn to keep you smacking until It's time to eat. Please Save some time to look at the wall art as well. I don't know how you could leave here unhappy.

    The reviews led us here, and we were not disappointed. So happy we decided to check this place out. The staff is friendly, the decor is really neat, and the food was incredible. I love their logo! The prices alone should win the hearts of many. I got a delicious fried egg sandwich on homemade jalapeño cheddar bread and the daily handpie special (Mac & cheese!) for $5. Five dollars. The dining area is kitschy and clean -- lots to look at. We dined on a Tuesday morning and I cannot wait to go back for the Saturday brunch buffet. Support this great local spot -- it will not leave you wanting.

    This is a very nice, friendly, and DELICIOUS EATERY!!! Interestingly, the owner's 1st date was making hot sauce together! This is a cute old school vintage restaurant, with great customer service! I ordered the steak-n- cake, the carrot cake pancakes were my absolute favorite. Great for dates, family or meet and greet for friends... they have games to play and tasty popcorn to eat, while you wait for your food. Gooseberries offer amazing options for vegan customers as well. On top of that at at night the menu changes and it's BYOB! Stop by ASAP... you can thank me later!!!

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.

He did forget our cup of cheese sauce and took the whole plate to the back instead of just going to get the cheese sauce. The burgers were ok, a little thick for my liking but taste fine. Others enjoyed their burgers but it was a bit too much. Overall the atmosphere was cool, the decor was nice and we had fun. I think it's a place people should experience.

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

Overall rating 3.5/5, even though I can't give half stars here on Yelp. One star for ambiance/vibes. This is a gorgeous, quaint little eatery in a lush area of Saint Louis County, right near Grant's Trail. One star for service. My server was a kind lady who made sure I was always doing well and kept my water glass topped off. One star for going above and beyond--I ordered gooey butter cake as a sweet treat and apparently whomever cut the slices made them too small so they gave me two but only charged me for one. Half a star for the gooey butter cake and espresso martini. Neither was the best instance of either I've ever had but they were the best part of the actual meal. Unfortunately, I think I made the wrong entree choice. I went with the biscuit (singular) and gravy and a side of sausage links. The biscuit is described as "jumbo" but didn't feel much bigger than what I'd consider a regular-sized biscuit. It also wasn't nearly as fluffy as I would have liked and was quite tough and hard at points, nearly requiring the use of a knife to cut it. The gravy was relatively flavorless and wasn't improved much by either salt or pepper. The sausage links were passable. I'm willing to give the shop another shot (and order something different) once I try some other brunch places on my list but I was a little disappointed on this visit because I wanted to like my food more.

The outside is very unassuming; I'd driven by this place sooooo many times and never even noticed that it was a diner! It looks just like many old-timey STL buildings which just adds to the charm. Once you walk in, it's like teleporting to the past. It isn't fancy, but it is packed (and rightfully so). It was just myself when I went, so I was able to be immediately sat at the bar which was a nice surprise considering it was packed on a holiday (Labor Day) morning. The server was very nice and attended to whatever I needed efficiently despite juggling a lotta different folks. For the food & drinks, I started off with a nice cold brew. I didn't love the taste, as it was almost tea-esque, but to be fair I don't drink a lot of cold brew so maybe that's just how it is. I decided to get some Sopapillas as an appetizer as I'd heard they were good and they definitely did not disappoint. They arrived very quickly, were hot out of the fryer, and tasted amazing! They were pillowy soft and just sweet enough while not being overbearing. I added a little honey on top and it was like I was in heaven. There were 5 in the order and I had to stop myself after quickly devouring 3 within 2 minutes. That's how good they were. Onto my entree, I went with the Breakfast Burrito with homemade sausage. I am a big breakfast burrito guy, and a pretty tough critic, but I've gotta say that this was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in recent years for sure. There was just enough cheese to add flavor and make it the perfect texture without being too much. The sausage had an incredible flavor that complemented the egg, home fries, and chiles perfectly. After devouring half of the burrito in under 90 seconds, I once again had to restrain myself and opted to take my leftover home before I made some really good but bad decisions (aka eating wayyyy too much). Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The vibes & food were immaculate despite the location and decor feeling very unassuming.
