    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 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.

    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!

    Pork Steak over Grits

    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.

    Beignets and gravy
    Riley H.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious pancakes

    This place never ever disappoints. Great service tremendous, flavorful delicious food, lovely atmosphere. My favorite treat yourself on a day off brunch

    Delicious pancakes!!

    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.

    Beignets and Gravy

    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...

    Alex R.

    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.

We don't like goat cheese so they were able to sub out the goat cheese polenta with cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were so good!! Bistro steak - good but it's not a must have for me. It came with asparagus that was tasty and potato pave. The potato pave was crispy but soft on the inside. For an appetizer we had the Spätzle dish featuring Emmenthaler fondue, nutmeg, and gremolata. It's almost like a Mac and cheese. It had Microgreens and nuts in it. The combination worked so well. It was unique and delicious. A great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

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!

I opted for the bar. Later I did see other guests arrive that were not fancy either, so I felt better. You could be fancy and fit right in, though. Angela was my server at the bar and she was top notch! Giving me time to review the menu but also jumping in to answer questions. I wanted to try a drink and the cocktails look amazing so I will have to come back to try a couple, they had a list of Spirit Free and I went with the Stappi Spritz. It was bright and refreshing with a bit of bitter and I really enjoyed it. So many food options looked good, I took a bit to decide and then went with the Starter of Oeufs et Mayo and would go from there. When it arrived I felt it looked like a dish on a cooking competition show - it was so pretty. Angela indicated a great way to eat it was to get a scoop of everything and put it on the LF grilled bread and that is what I did! So very good! All the flavors went well together, the burst of salty goodness from the trout roe and the grilled bread, fantastic. Even with so many other Plates to try, I will have a hard time not ordering those jammy eggs again. Extras included Crispy Fingerling Potatoes fried with rosemary and served with romesco aioli, they were good and a large enough serving to share. The rosemary is definitely part of the dish but I ordered with the knowledge that I now like rosemary. I also wanted to try the Sage and Fennel Sausage, they were in patty form and the order came with 2 and they were large. It was decent, I wanted more sage and fennel for my taste. Angela set me up with go boxes so I could enjoy my meal again as leftovers! Great food, great service. Can't wait to go back again!

There's no favoritism, no cheesy American Express concierge games, and none of the pretentiousness or snobbery that can sometimes come with certain Clayton establishments and their location. Here, the focus is simply on the food, the service, and making guests feel welcome. Second, you don't leave smelling like exhaust and cooking grease the way you do at Wright's. Third, the cuisine is simply better than Wright's and, frankly, better than almost anywhere else in the St. Louis area--including Eleven Eleven. The menu is remarkably unique and original, with a real sense of creativity behind the dishes. And perhaps best of all, you're not sitting six inches from the next table.

I like the general vibe of the restaurant. In the past we have had good experiences with the drinks. For us on this night the food experience fell very flat. It started with the cheese/tomato soup that I got with my burger. It was flavorless and tasted like water lightly infused with some tomato and cheese flavor. My medium burger was well done. Maybe even a step past well done, and was not edible. My wife's meal was good, but forgettable. The drinks were still good, but the poor food quality was a huge let down. The last part that dampened the mood was where we sat. They have a modest outdoor patio and then seating on the sidewalk along the front. We had put in a reservation for outdoor seating. As we walked up there was one table on the very far side of the sidewalk seating almost into a parking lot. I turned to my wife and said "I hope that isn't us." It was. It was just an awkward spot. It also mean that our server didn't check in with us that much. So overall, great spot for drinks. Really outstanding drinks. For the food though, go check out any of the dozen other establishments nearby that are better.

    This has been on my list for years, so I jumped when my bf said we were going. He made a…read morereservation for 8:45 because he said it's normally packed. We came right on time and were sat immediately. The inside was lively and buzzing. Right after we were sat, our server came to introduce himself and take our drink order. To start, we each go a Caesar salad, we split an order of calamari, and I got the flower power to drink. I was warned before hand that the drink I chose would be an "experience" but that I should enjoy it. An experience would be an understatement. The salad was good and I loved the croutons, although they were a bit tough. The calamari was quite tasty and seasoned well. As for my drink, let's just say I was NOT prepared. The drink itself wasn't the problem but more so the buzz flower that accompanied it. You're supposed to eat the flower first and then drink. It comes with a glass of prosecco as a palate cleanser but I don't feel as though it did much. I'd say that flower kicked in within 15 minutes and ultimately, that's when things took a turn. At first it felt like pop rocks in my mouth and then I started to feel awful. While the chaos was going on, I managed to eat my blackened salmon, which was delicious. The slaw was so-so and I could have done without the beans and rice. All in all, we had a lovely visit aside from the drink. Our server was fantastic, the food was top notch, and I really enjoyed the ambiance.

    Can we do six stars? I have nothing but good things to say about The Drawing Board! The staff is…read morestellar and the food is AMAZING--especially that Medart Burger, a dish with a rich (and kinda greasy) Saint Louis history. Sidewinder Fries are spiral-cut wedges that come with just enough seasoning. The falafel pita is a great vegetarian choice... seriously, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There's always a nice selection of craft beers on tap for about $7/pour, as well as a smattering of AB products and other national brands in cans. Beer is wonderfully cold. The bar is well-stocked--especially with local spirits--and the bartenders here know their stuff, making drinks to order and advising what to try if you ask. I'm usually interested in trying a gin or bourbon I haven't had, and they're quick to make recommendations and talk about what's on the shelf. The Drawing Board has a nice-sized bar area with pool tables, darts, and chalkboards, as well as a cool patio. There's a small parking lot on the east (right side of the building), as well as ample street parking just west of the bar on Oak Hill. If you like pub trivia, drop by on a Thursday and test your knowledge and memory!

    This is a definition of a dive bar vibe but without the bar looking in rough shape. I didn't get to…read moretry the food (not hungry) but supposedly their burgers are fantastic according to my friend who was with me. It's on the smaller side, reminding me of places in my new home of SF, so anticipate seats/tables could fill up quickly. Parking is very limited, I got lucky to get a spot, so on a weekend evening I'd consider ride share otherwise you may be stuck parking blocks away. Beer was reasonably priced at $4-$5 for domestic. There was a group of people playing Magic The Gathering which was intriguing.

    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.
