    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
    Katie S.

    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
    Kasey L.

    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!

    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.

    WC Fields omelette from Gooseberries.
    Erik S.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    Anna P.

    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.

The only real warmth we encountered came from the female host; the rest of the staff delivered service that hovered somewhere between disinterested and "we're doing you a favor by being here." We kicked things off with the fried deviled eggs, which arrived neither fried nor particularly deviled -- just cold little reminders that hope is fleeting. Cocktails landed squarely in "General Public" territory. My Squatty Potty showed up lukewarm, like it had been loitering at the bar contemplating its life choices instead of making it to the table piping hot. A chicken Caesar salad was perfectly fine... if you enjoy playing hide-and-seek with the chicken. The breakfast burger came on an English muffin with what might be the most emotionally unavailable portion of hash brown casserole I've ever seen -- tiny, distant, and gone too soon. Then there's the Scream Burger. Marketed as ghost-pepper spicy, priced like it's the main event, and delivered with all the heat of a polite Midwestern handshake. Dry, bland, and somehow bold enough to charge me an extra dollar for more mayo -- because nothing says "premium burger experience" like a condiment upcharge to make it edible. My husband's Pork Pountine? Imagine fries sprinkled with a few bacon bits like confetti at a party nobody wanted to attend. We came in excited because Eat Crow in Soulard sets the bar high. Unfortunately, Crows Nest feels like it's cooking for someone driving in from Chesterfield who asked the kitchen to "tone it down." If you're craving the real deal, do yourself a favor: go to Soulard. This nest still needs a lot more feathers. And to the influencers calling this place "amazing" -- do better. Honest, authentic reviews help restaurants grow and help diners know what they're walking into. Stop selling hype and start telling the truth.

If you're eating in the winter, try to avoid eating by the door ... unfortunately my biscuits and gravy were a bit cold the last time I ate there because the wind kept blowing in when people were checking in at the hostess stand. But that's okay because the Posole was steaming! Tables larger than 6 are going to have a longer wait time in the winter. In nicer weather, the outdoor patio is great to enjoy a meal in. That's what you get with local diner charm! This place is definitely a special spot in St. Louis
