Best pancakes in St. Louis! Thick, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Grits were great and flavorful. You order through kiosk but they had very friendly staff always readily available. Cute smaller breakfast shop, we will definitely be back!
I was devastated for months because my work schedule wouldn't let me have brunch at Grand Pied. I literally dreamed about their pancakes. Today finally came, and I got to visit on a Wednesday lunch. Our hostess and staffs were wonderful and made us feel so special right from the start. Of course, the food was the real highlight. The pancakes were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly buttery. The gumbo was rich and flavorful, well-seasoned without being overwhelming. The grits were cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the gumbo. Everything felt incredibly comforting on a cold day (see finished plates for reference) We came on a Wednesday morning, so it wasn't crowded at all. Such a relaxed, cozy experience.
My wife and I stopped into Grand Pied for the first time on Friday, 12/6/25 around 10 AM, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The place has a warm, welcoming vibe that made us feel comfortable right away. The service was friendly and attentive, and you can tell they really take pride in what they do. Our food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor -- exactly what we were hoping for with a late-morning bite. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. We walked out already talking about what we want to try next time. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!
Have had this place on my list since we moved to the south side earlier this year! The parking kind of sucks (street parking) but it was worth it. It's a small place but not tiny. They were immediately friendly and it's charming inside. I loved all of the unique decor and couldn't get over the different pans and bowls they used for light fixtures. The food came out pretty fast and was soooo good. My husband had the gumbo shrimp and grits which were packed with flavor! I tried the ham, eggs, and potatoes! LET ME TELL YOU... AMAZING! Nothing needed any additional seasonings and it was so good. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and so fluffy on the inside. Ham was good, and the gravy was great as well. Can't wait to go back and try new things!
Cute little charming cozy gem in south city. It's seat yourself and order from the menu you download on your phone. The staff is friendly but you do have to constantly grab an employee if you need anything in addition. The BF began with the Shaken Brown Sugar Oat Iced Cold Brew which is cold brew coffee shaken with oat milk and brown sugar, no frills, just straight to the point and well made, reasonably priced. The pancakes are a must try. They are serving the BEST pancakes in the city hands down. Three buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup, homemade whipped cream and blackberry jam are phenomenal. The pancakes taste as if your grandmother was in the kitchen with her cast iron skillet making you breakfast. The quality is superb. Each and every pancake stays hot from the first bite to the last bite. These pancakes are a family favorite. Crispy edges and golden all around with a fluffy interior. I don't care that these pancakes are $15, they are well worth it!!! ABSOLUTELY delicious, so great in fact we turned around and took my mother a few days later so she could experience the phenomenon. We also tried the bbq pork steak over cheese grits. I have been wanting to get here for dinner to try this pork steak and to know that they had it for breakfast with cheddar grits I couldn't pass it up. I wish I would have passed it up. The pork steak was over cooked and you could tell it was from the day prior. The bbq sauce on top of the pork steak was horrible. The cheese grits were some of the worst grits I have ever eaten. They were runny and not seasoned as was the pork steak and the bbq sauce was so nasty that nothing worked together and in addition each item helped to off-set the other. This dish was so awful it should have been sent back. We have since returned since our initial visit because the pancakes are just that good. We will eventually try other items on the menu.
Cute place. Love all the decor- bigfoot everywhere Food was good but a little greasy & a small menu with limited options. You sit at table & order from phone. They deliver to you & refill your coffee. We ordered their take on biscuits & gravy. Beignets & gravy. Also eggs & bacon. Bacon was fresh & well done. Eggs were cooked well but in a lot of oil. Split the b&g. Eggs & bacon were side item add on.
Grand Pied was lovely. I ordered beignets and biscuits and there was plenty of food for the price, all of which tasted great. It was unique but still classic. The restaurant itself is also super cozy and provides plenty of caffeine options, like matcha and shaken cold brew. I would give a five stars but the service was a bit rude, saying we "got lucky" to have gotten our table while I was apologizing for being one minute late to our waitlist spot among other disinterested behavior. However, I would likely give this place another chance at some point if I lived locally.
My cousin invited me to breakfast. She selected this place. I checked Yelp, or course and the menu. So many raved about the pancakes but I was skeptical. I enjoy fluffy buttermilk pancakes. Not ones that look like these. We arrived and had to wait a little bit. Once we were seated and realized we needed to place the order with the QR code, we were good to go. Someone should've told us. It's a quaint eclectic place. We both ordered the pancakes and potatoes. I ordered that Brown Sugar Oat Chai and added dark rum I brought with me. Oh yeah they're BYOB. Nice touch. The Chai was good. They use Tazo so there's that. Not homemade. Our food arrived and I was anxious about digging in. The pancakes were different but DELISH. The potatoes were perfection. Crispy on the outside and ever so tender in the inside. I've been trying to figure out how to make those at home. I'd go back and would have the same meal again.
I have a soft spot for some hearty and flavorful Southern and Cajun food! I've been to Grand Pied many times and they never disappoint me. First off, their Pork steak and dirty grits are back for the summer and as soon as I saw it on the menu again I knew it was gonna be a lil party in my mouth! The pork steak was perfectly seasoned, moist, and fall apart tender while the cheesy grits were cooked to perfection. No matter how empty or busy it gets in the restaurant, I've always had great experiences with the organization and professionalism of the wait staff. Lastly, I've been here many times and I just realized you can bring your own bottle(s) if beer, wine, and/or spirits.
Grand Pied is such a gem! The chai was absolutely delicious, and the food was just as good. I ordered the Special Slinger and the beignets, and both were fantastic. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate feel with a nice patio for outdoor seating. Ordering through the QR code was simple and convenient, and everything came out quickly. Great food, great atmosphere, and a unique dining experience.
This place never ever disappoints. Great service tremendous, flavorful delicious food, lovely atmosphere. My favorite treat yourself on a day off brunch
Brunch with some New Orleans flare! I've heard great things about Grand Pied and even when we were inside, people were raving about how they go all the time. We got the Breakfast Po Boy and the Beignets and Gravy. Their potatoes are unreal. Perfectly crisp. Everything was packed with flavor and quite filling. The Po Boy's slaw was a fun addition to a classic breakfast sandwich. The balance of the fluffy and buttery beignets with the creamy gravy and eggs.
Super busy which is a good sign! Easy to order on the QR code menu. Had really great service once we got in there but wouldn't say the hostess was overly friendly...
First time here and it was so delicious! Quiet Tuesday afternoon so it was pretty empty. We've tried coming on the weekend and the line is always out the door. Glad we made it today and service was quick. Can't wait to come back. read more

I would call this place the perfect "city slicker" diner. The location is on a busy street, they have a side alley that is also their patio. They are very wheelchair accessible, and they make that known. There's no moving tables or chairs to ensure this. Which is great! But it does make it very difficult to come with children who are high chair aged. It's very "self-service". There's a host/food runner who seats you and brings your food out. You order all your food on your own device off of a QR code. The menu is very eclectic, no ways to personalize and very expensive. After ordering you can tell everything is made to order so it does take a minute to get your food which I'm not knocking. But you order and tip ahead of time like it's a normal restaurant and it's just not that. I'm taking my own order so it takes a lot of the personal connection or service out of the experience. Which brings me back to being the perfect city diner. Now the food, we were actually recommended to come here because of the pancakes. Which we had gotten both the kids and regular pancakes. The pancakes comes with EVERYTHING on them while the kids pancakes have everything on the side. NOTE: they are the same exact dish, the only difference is the kids dish is the condiments on the side. As far as flavor goes. The pancakes weren't bad, they have crispy edges and fluffy centers. But you can tell they're fried in a heavy oil of sorts or butter. It reminded everyone in our party of funnel cake. It tastes like we were eating overpriced fair food. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE fair food but not for a sit down breakfast where I'm expecting AMAZING pancakes. This is a pancake shaped funnel cake. The bacon was overcooked, dry and for the price wasn't worth what we had gotten. Every piece was crumbly because it was overcooked. So if you're a soft bacon person, don't waste your taste buds. We also had gotten the sausage egg and cheese sandwich. It came on a ciabatta type bread with a side of potatoes (don't forget there's not substitutions when ordering for yourself). The sandwich was simple, came with pickled onions and homemade pickles on the side. All that to say, it's a great place if you don't cook yourself at home. If you have a small kitchen and maybe don't enjoy cooking. This place is for you. Its a good "home cooked" meal you can have. But, honestly at least to me, not worth the price. But try it for yourself! I won't be back because it's not for me, but there is a patron for this type of place and that's for the non-cooking people. read more
Service was fast and friendly. The decor was charming. The food is out of this world! You must try!!! The coffee wasn't delicious not too sweet and made with oatmilk. The pancakes were served golden brown hot with those brown edges we all love. Perfect combination of soft and fluffy but slightly crispy outer layer. The hash browns were surprisingly super crispy even with the chili on top. The sausage was huge. You must try this amazing food. read more

Go in sit down then use QR code to order and pay then they drink you your food. Got the pancakes- good a tad pricey, 3 medium size cakes for $15. Ham and eggs were good with the red eye gravy. Sausage and egg sandwich also good. Excellent coffee- front hostess was very friendly and happy. read more
Great brunch spot! Definitely recommend taking advantage of the waitlist feature on their website before coming in because the space is small. We lucked out and were able to snag spots at the bar when we popped in at prime brunch time on Sunday. As noted in other reviews, the pancakes are a MUST! Super thick with a nice crispy edge. We also had the goat cheese omelette which was tasty but could've used a little something extra. We will def be back for more pancakes and to try some other menu items. read more

This is such a cute little place. It was packed for brunch when we arrived. We opted to sit outside, it was covered and nice with all the plants. I like the ability to order and pay right from my phone. It's BYOB so we grabbed a bottle of champagne from the cute grocery store on the block. We ordered a carafe of orange, it was 12 dollars, a little overpriced in my opinion. The pancakes are the star of the show! I loved them, you get 3 nice sized ones so we split that and the dirty pork steak and grits. The pork steak was super tender and tasted amazing, we split that as well so the portions are nice size. The service was great. I would absolutely come back. read more
I had the loveliest time here with a friend celebrating her birthday. Grand Pied had been on my list for a while, and it's her favorite brunch in the city. I totally get it!! These are the best grits I've found in the area. The gumbo on top was flavorful, perfectly spiced, with tender sausage and shrimp. The toast and jam, so simple, but their house made preserves were divine. Lovely to split for a side. My friend got the Fries and Shine, I had a bite and the fries and sausage gravy were very, very good. Flavorful gravy, and a crispy yet velvety fry. I want to give a shoutout to the staff member who made my friend's birthday special! She loves the pomegranate lemonade, even mentioned it on the drive over, but it wasn't technically "in stock" - when my friend went to the restroom I asked about it, and she whipped up a lemonade to surprise her with before our food came out! She was so tickled. DELICIOUS food and lovely kind people, I will certainly be back! read more
*new brunch spot unlocked* We always talk about ambience, quality of food, and the people when evaluating a restaurant. This place is as close to perfection as it gets. First and foremost: BYOB, count me in! I brought a batch of carajillos and went to work. The food was amazing. The pancakes have a nice crust. They're thick, fluffy, and have nice crispy edges. A truly unique pancake in the best of ways. The chicken sandwich gets applause as well. The chicken was super crispy with a wonderful, fluffy homemade bun. The slaw, pickles and sauce all meld perfectly with the hot honey. I also got one of their chai lattes which was wonderful. Super rich with the brown sugar. The service was great. You order with a qr code, but they have plenty of floaters perusing to help with any needs you may have. Absolutely loved, loved, loved my experience at grand pied. read more
This place is a hidden gem! We chose it because it was close to the botanical garden and the menu was appealing. It is pretty small and only offers 2 or 4 top tables plus a few seats at the bar so this is NOT a spot for large groups. There are QR menus on each table and you use that to order food/drinks to the table. I got the brown sugar oat cold brew (YUM!) and we each had the sausage egg and cheese sandwich (the jam it comes with is the perfect compliment to the sandwich)Food and drink were delivered quickly and everything was delicious. Generous serving sizes. They also have a table with to go containers for food and drink so you can pack up any leftovers you want to take. Recommend getting here early since it is so small, but this is a great brunch spot before going to the Tower Grove Farmers Market or the botanical garden. read more

First time here and discovered them on social media. With being out of town I had no idea about them, but also found they had strong reviews. As it turns out I understand why after a great experience. I booked a reservation on a weekend for three. The timing was accurate upon arrival and we were seated inside. There is also a side patio. Customers use a QR Code to review the menu offerings. Service was a bit inconsistent, but super friendly. They were packed for weekend brunch, so grace given. Drinks were placed on the table and orders taken. The interior vibe is super cool. Lots of vintage decor in the old building with wood floors. A lot of character. Needless to say I absolutely adored the atmosphere. It's a bit loud, but tolerable. Food arrived around 15 minutes or so. My Super Slinger was exactly as described with potatoes, ground beef chili and egg. It was filling and delicious. My son had the mammoth Dirty Burger which he thought was great. My son's friend had the Pork & Cheddar Omelette which she liked. Checkout was smooth. 4.5, but rounding down with a few service hiccups. I would love to return at a less busy time. Keep in mind parking is off street only. read more

I was very surprised at how good the line cook delight was! Never would I have paired chili with grits ** chefs kiss** Next time I'll trying the fried chicken salad. This was my first choice but I opted for a heavier meal. Recommend coming here for a casual comfort meal. & BYOB! read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. We were able to get on the waitlist and we came a little before closing so there really wasn't a wait. What I didn't know is that it is BYOB and you are able to bring in liquors of your choice to have with your meals. We luckily ran right down the street to the 7-Eleven to get something to go with our meal. I really enjoyed my gumbo and grits. The chicken sandwich also has some great flavor, but I will say that it was a little too small for the bun. read more
Overall, this place has good food for brunch! My only holdback is that it's a bit tight WAIT TIME: Definitely try to join the waitlist before coming if you can, it's a small space so we had to wait for a little bit to be seated. But considering we come for Sunday brunch we didn't wait that long (20 mins). FOOD: We split the ham eggs and potatoes plate, and the pancakes. Personally I LOVED the pancakes! They were much thicker and very different than others I've had before; kind of reminded me of funnel cake dough. The potatoes were also so yummy and the country ham was very solid. The food was really good all around! SERVICE: It's a QR code ordering system which makes it really easy to order! I really appreciate that they have pictures of their dishes as part of it too. DECOR: I liked that the cutlery was all mismatched, like it had all been thrifted or something! Very quirky and cute PRICE: Decently priced for a brunch place. Unlimited coffee was only $3 and each dish was around $15 read more

Grand Pied, French for Big Foot they say, is an interesting find. The space is small and indoor seating is limited with Idaho bar decor and background music that didn't feel like it went with brunch. You order off QR codes at your table and they don't serve alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own. They very much have the attitude of, "this is how we run our business, you can come or not." So how does our journey come to 5 stars? The food is delicious. We had the beignets, gumbo, and grits which were all very good but the show stopper was the pancakes. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had. They're almost funnel cake like in their preparation and go excellent with the jam, butter, or syrup they come with. The pancakes are worth the 5 stars by themselves and that's not just me saying that. There were people coming in alone to sit at the bar to get their pancake fix. If it is nice out they also had outdoor seating but were full when we got there. Make a reservation unless you want to sit at the bar. Get the pancakes! read more

This used to be my absolute favorite brunch spot in St. Louis. The homey vibe, complete with cute knickknacks and mismatched plates, makes you feel like you've stepped into someone's cozy kitchen. The fried chicken sandwich, burger, and breakfast potatoes are to die for. But what really won me over were the brown sugar cold brews and chai lattes served in the most adorable mason jars. Unfortunately, on our last visit, it was clear the recipe had changed--and sadly, the drinks that once brought me back again and again just didn't taste the same. I wouldn't order them again. That said, everything else was still spot on, and the charm of the place remains! read more
