The biscuits are the best I've ever had and please don't forget to add the sausage gravy. Delicious and it is a must have at Half & Half. Great service too. read more

Met an old friend here for brunch and can't wait to go again. The waiting was quite a lot - from being seated to our food - but it was packed, so I do understand. More downtime to catch up with my friend. Plus, our server brought out free donuts as an apology for the wait, which was incredibly sweet. Our server at the bar was personable and laid back, though the other servers were not as nice from what I saw (maybe just busy). The food was excellent - I got a BLT omelette with an iced latte, and my friend got the stuffed french toast and bottomless coffee. It was enough for two meals and was just as good reheated. I love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

The food was amazing. Service was a bit slow though. Waited 40ish minutes to get a table, then 40 mins for food. read more

What a great brunch place! There are two locations, and I believe that this is the OG. We decided to eat here on our Sunday morning in Saint Louis. Of course, there was going to be a wait on a Sunday morning. But on Yelp, we saw that there was about a more than 45 minute wait.Via Yelp and the NOWAIT app, we were able to put our name on the list, were given an approximate time of arrival. We got to the restaurant about 5-10 minutes before that time, checked in, and were seated just before the recommended arrival time. I would absolutely recommend you put the app into use! You will certainly feel like you aren't wasting a ton of time. And it was so easy! Shortly after we were seated, we placed an order for our drinks. I got a coffee (coffeecoffeecoffee) and the brunch cocktail special: blood orange fizz. It was wonderful! I wish I could have sat in the shade all day drinking a pitcher of that... The fella insisted on some avocado toast to start our meal (*makes a slightly dated joke about millenials and brunch and avocado toast....*) It was beautiful when it came, with a LOT of avocado on it. The cheese was perfect to top it! I think we ended up with entirely too much food, because the portions are very generous and we just wanted, like, everything! I ordered the greek omelet. I always assume more of the ingredients will come as *filling* in an omelet, and more often than not they come more as toppings. That is the case here. It still tastes great! The cheese is the only thing that comes *in* the eggs, and it is then topped with the greens, onions and olives. This dish also comes with a bread option (I got an english muffin) and potatoes. I got a side of bacon because....I wanted bacon. I always want bacon. You get enough food though, you don't need any sides! Service was wonderful, and we never felt rushed. And as we were getting ready to leave, I asked if it was possible to get some coffee to go, and they have cups for taking your caffeine with you! I really liked this place and wish I lived closer so I could go back! read more

Great breakfast spot! Half and Half serves diner classics with a little extra flare. The chorizo and avocado Benedict is fantastic, as is the avocado toast. My wife had the Clara cakes, which were perfectly fluffy and delicious. They also have a variety of tasty brunch cocktails, including grapefruit mimosas and beermosas. We sat at the bar because all the tables were full, but still received excellent service. If you plan to go here on a weekend, make sure to check in early (you can do so through Yelp) or plan on waiting for a table. This place fills up fast! Note: you may be able to find a spot at the bar even if all the tables are full. read more

Half & Half was a gem! I had a friend visiting and had heard great things so called to put us on the waitlist while we drove over. Once we arrived, our wait was very short and we got seated. The staff was friendly and still following covid protocols to protect the staff. (mask mandates lifted a week ago) Our drinks included a chai tea latte and cappuccino. My friend likes whip cream in her cappuccino and they added it. Then we got the doughnuts, salmon hash and blueberry french toast. Wow! All three delicious . The hash with sunny side up eggs was really good so thanks to our server for recommending and my friend enjoyed her french toast. The kitchen forgot our doughnuts but our server went ahead and put them again and I thought they actually were a great final touch. I was very full so I took some of them home and were still great a few hours later. I highly recommend this restaurant. They're a gem in the heart of Clayton! Thanks for an amazing service! read more

I am so disappointed with my Half & Half experience. My boyfriend and I went for brunch on Sunday and got there a little over an hour before they closed. We were seated right away even though the place was still busy. After getting drinks fairly quickly and placing our orders, we waited for over 45 minutes. During this time, at least 4 other groups who came in after us received their food. We didn't order anything complicated (cold chicken salad sandwich and pancakes) and our waitress didn't inform us of any problems with our order. The place was busy, but seemed well staffed and like I said other people were getting their food just fine. Even people at nearby tables commented on how we still hadn't gotten our food! Eventually my boyfriend wanted to just leave but I convinced him to ask the hostess what was going on. (We would have asked our waitress but we had only been checked on one time after ordering.) We were told our ticket was "next" and then waited another 10 minutes while they rushed to make our food. When the food finally arrived, we were offered no apology or reason for the delay. I understand that orders can get forgotten, but the staff just didn't really seem to care at all or offer any explanation. The food itself was pretty good, but for the price that's to be expected. Another problem I had was that one of the busboys came and took away a plate that still had food on it that we were still eating without even asking. At this point, they were close to closing and that is probably why this happened, but it wasn't our fault that our food came out so late! Overall, just a bad experience. I seriously doubt I would go back. read more

If you like being ignored for 30 minutes then this is the restaurant for you! After waiting for almost 30 minutes to have our orders taken (and seeing tables who came in after us being served) we gave up and left. Waitress was rude and dismissive. This place doesn't deserve your business until they learn how to treat customers with respect. There's lots of places nearby that won't waste your time. After giving up we went to City Coffee and Creperie which is less than 5 minutes there. We were served quickly and with top notch service. Will never return. Worst service I've ever received. read more

Good coffee and hearty breakfast options. Worth the wait on busy weekend mornings. Cozy atmosphere.

My fiancé andI decided to go to Half & Half for Brunch. I ordered the following: Doughnuts: Cinnamon Sugar Blueberry Pancakes Half and Half (2 eggs, potatoes, toast) & bacon $1.5 The doughnuts looked appealing in photos but did not taste great at all. It was a cross between half deep fried cornbread & burnt pancakes. It had an oily consistency throughout taste and had little to no sugar on it. If you absolutely want to try it by all means do so but you have been warned. Blueberry Pancakes The pancakes were good. Little to no complaints regarding the pancakes. They sell them in stacks of three, and give you one small cup of syrup. You will need about 8 servings of syrup to finish these pancakes. One cup barely covers the top layer, just FYI. Half and Half I was very disappointed in the half and half. The eggs tasted like it was from the artificial liquid carton, potatoes were very dry and the bacon had no flavor. read more

Food is good, but the waitlist concept there is flawed. I joined and timed my arrival with the end of my 60 minute wait as shown on the list. I arrived just after a walk in couple who were told it would be 10 minutes because there were a few people on front of them. I'm thinking I must be one of them only to be told my wait was 20 minutes... I was told they don't start the time until you arrive. What is the purpose of a waitlist that people can join from their phone before arriving if they don't actually go on the waitlist until they arrive??? I've used waitlist many times at other places and have never run into that. read more

Went there for Sunday brunch with a group of 5. It was a 1.5 hr wait around 11 am, which is on-par with other good brunch places in the area on weekends (for party of 5). Food was delicious, service was good. read more

Worth the wait! Great food and even better service. They have something for everyone on the menu. I'll definitely be going back.

Hands down, this USED TO BE my favorite breakfast/brunch place in St. Louis for 10 years. But when my husband and I visited these last couple of times after not going there for about a year, we were thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a specialty pancake of the day and my husband got the Steak and Eggs. The pancake was the same quality that we remembered, but the Steak and Eggs' presentation was completely different than before and did not taste as great as it once did. We asked the waitress if the chef changed, but she was new and did not know. On a separate day, we ordered the Clara cakes and a Mexican breakfast burrito special of the day. These were pretty good (4 out of 5 stars), but I was disappointed in their coffee. The coffee was really acidic and sour. Ever since these two incidents, we have not gone back. This used to once be a place we went almost every weekend, but we have moved on to other better brunch places. I think for the price, the quality has gone down and the food just doesn't taste as good as I remember it to be. I will probably give Half and Half one more chance just because this place has fond memories of when my husband and I were dating years ago. read more

Stopped by Half & Half today for a brunch/early lunch. I opted for the salmon BLT sandwich and my wife got the classic burger. Although it was a rainy Wednesday afternoon, it was decently packed inside. The service and quality of food is my rationale for 3 stars. Our party of 3 got seated quickly and our orders were taken in a prompt manner, but it took a full hour for our food to come out! We could see other parties around us frustrated and one table even left because of the wait. My salmon BLT was very average at best; the salmon was overcooked and the sandwich was just too crunchy. It had a tiny bit of aioli on it but could have definitely used more. My wife didn't have anything to write home about regarding her burger. Might come back to try some of the breakfast options per recommendations from family, but will stay away from the lunch options. Hopefully the service is better next time. read more

Bad business ethics by the way they charge so much for mimosas, $10, but don't offer bottomless. Taking advantage of the people that keep them in business instead of treating them fairly. Shame. Cleaning products in several random places inside the restaurant for people to see, including the vacuum and mop bucket. Bathroom was messy, and the diaper-changing pad was ripped in several places. It was on a list of top-ten breakfast places, but I will not be back. read more

Excellent brunch and this favorite spot! You definitely need to join the waitlist (thru Yelp of course)for their brunch otherwise you'll be waiting for awhile because it's a hot spot. The kitchen was unusually slow today but it allowed plenty of time for visiting which was a nice change rather than feeling rushed at a meal. You seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. All of the hash dishes are great, tacos are solid and the breakfast sandwich is not to be missed. read more

Half & Half was super cute, fun, and yummy. It has been on my list for ages now, and finally made it! My biggest hesitation was the long wait times, but we just went for it, and added an extra time buffer in our schedule for the day. The wait was quite long though, so beware if you are on a time crunch. There is also not a lot of good places to wait, so be prepared for that too. On to the good stuff. The restaurant is cute- a mix of community tables and individual tables. They have both inside and outside seating, but outside a lot of people are hovering and waiting for their tables, so I was happy with our indoor seating. Our server was so attentive and accommodating, so definitely a plus there. The menu was fun, with all the brunch staples plus a few fun uniquenesses, like the birthday cake late and s'mores french toast! I got the Cali omelette, with beans, pico, guacamole, and cheddar. It also came with toast and potatoes. The portion was extremely generous- I was stuffed and still took half home! I didn't love that it was a 2.50 up charge for salad or fruit instead of potatoes, since that swap for free seems pretty standard these days. Overall, great meal. Probably won't be back on the weekend for a while, but if find myself with some extra time, I will! read more

I love me a good brunch spot, and Half & Half fits that bill just fine. Blueberry pancakes were super good. Very fluffy with crispy edges, my favorite! Biscuits and gravy were also good. Despite the biscuits with hard bottoms, the gravy was super savory with a slight kick. Very delicious. Only negative: our male server was wearing super tiny shorts and you could see the outline of his business which was very off putting while he's leaning across the table delivering food. I'm all for freedom of expression, but maybe not while you're crotch-level with your customers? Overall, though, very good food. We'll come back next time we're in St Louis. read more

We were expecting a long wait on a Saturday morning. There aren't many places that do a Saturday brunch. To our surprise we had table in less than 10 minutes. Service was great as always. I had the Spinach and Ham Eggs Benedict. I love that their Hollandaise sauce is thick and rich. Delicious! I ate every bite. We were celebrating an engagement so champagne was a requirement. I'll have to try one of the French toasts on my next visit. read more

When planning our weekend trip to St. Louis, I obviously had to find an awesome place to eat. Anyone reading this is a Yelper, right? You guys understand. I decided on this place early on and it was something I looked forward to the moment I arrived in St. Louis. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL! I loved it so much that I might make special trips from Louisville to St. Louis just to eat here. I might be mistaken but I believe this is their original location. They also recently opened up an additional location. Before talking about the food and experience, let me point out one thing... use the NOWAIT app(more on this when I leave a tip on this page). I woke up Sunday morning, checked the app(your wait is 40-79 minutes or something like that), I put in my name and it told me to arrive at a certain time. We arrived 5 or 6 minutes before we were supposed to. We checked in and they told us we were 2nd on the list. We literally waited ONLY 10 minutes! I wish more restaurants used the NoWait app in my city. There were many things on the menu. They have the main menu but they also have a special brunch menu where some items change. I had a difficult time choosing what I want which is all the more reason to make it back there. On their coffee menu, it was nice seeing their featured brew as being Quills from Louisville! On to the meal. I ordered King Crimson tea. A cup and pitcher were brought to me. That tea was delicious. It hit the spot on its own. Avocado toast: When I saw they had avocado toast, I felt like it was an immediate thing to order so that's what we started with. I had never tried avocado toast but I know a few of you that have raved about the stuff. Oh my, what a treat! The toast comes with avocado(lots of it), feta, cilantro, lime, and cracked pepper. It was delicious. Everything about it. I knew it would come with everything on it but they weren't shy about how much feta cheese they put on it. Absolute perfection! Order this if you want something extra before your meal comes out. S'mores French Toast - I always feel weird when I order something sweet for breakfast brunch. It always seems like I'm missing out on the more traditional breakfast items. With that, I went ahead and ordered this item and I wasn't disappointed. When the dish comes to your table, you think it's going to be heavy because of how large the bread is. While eating through this, the dish proves that it's light and just wants to make you comfortable. If you want sweet but not too sweet, go for this! Side of egg - Side of chorizo - Remember how I said I was missing out on traditional breakfast items. Well, their sides are certainly cheap enough so I got one egg(scrambled) along with a side of chorizo(so excited that they had chorizo as a side!). I dumped my chorizo on my egg and devoured it before digging into my French Toast. If you want to eat on the cheap side, go in here and order a side or two. Your basic breakfast filler can be created here. In short, what an amazing brunch place. Out of all the cities and brunch places I've visited, this place deserves a spot near the top. Our server was awesome! The food came out fast. Parking was easy. Waitlist was easy. All the employees were awesome! There weren't any obnoxious or loud people messing up the atmosphere. This place is AMAZING! read more

Food was good! We had the oatmeal and omelette. Coffee was great. Staff was friendly and attentive. Cute breakfast spot.

Placed online order for pickup at 11:50am, even tipped, was told it would be ready at 12:30. Arrived at 12:30 but was told to wait another 10 minutes. Ended up taking 30 minutes and finally got it at 1:00pm. I don't mind it taking longer than expected... just don't tell me it's ready and waste my time. I'd hate to leave a bad review but this is unacceptable. read more

Finally go the chance to go, after driving past dozens of times. We arrived 5 minutes after open on a Saturday, and they were almost completely full already. The staff is super warm and inviting, and the place is cute. The food just didn't wow me. I had the eggs ham and spinach Benedict. Eggs Benedict being my absolute favorite. It just wasn't anything to write home about. The English muffin was super tough too. The coffee however is very good. So I may stop in for coffee again, but probably not going back for breakfast. read more

This place has yummy food! I got the tomato and egg sandwich, iced coffee, and shared the blackberry cheesecake French toast. I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the tomato aïoli was very delicious and the egg was fresh and perfectly runny. I don't think it's my favorite breakfast sandwich in St. Louis, but it's up there. The side potatoes that came with the sandwich were also very delicious and perfectly spiced. The iced coffee was also really good, I chugged it super fast. Lastly, the French toast was definitely the highlight, it was tart and sweet and perfect. I don't think I could eat the whole thing by myself, so I'm glad we all split it amongst five of us! Definitely would come back, the parking is easy and it feels very homey inside. read more

I would say this is a solid 4-star experience all around. The wait is really long, so you have to go in it with that mindset. You can order brunch cocktails and coffee at the bar while you wait though! So we each sipped a mimosa (2 options, orange and grapefruit) to pass the time. I thought those were well done - a nice balance of champagne without too much juice! Once seated, our server was friendly and attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. Their drinks menu is a bit more limited since COVID. I settled on avocado toast with an added poached egg and a side of bacon - I really enjoyed the toast; it was a nice balance of bread, avocado, and a dusting of cheese & cilantro. I was pleased it was a normal slice of delicious artisan bread, not a huge slab. It was perfect. My friend got the ham and spinach benedict which also looked delicious. I thought the prices were reasonable. I'll come back, but the wait deters me from keeping this in my regular rotation. read more

I had a very solid experience. It's very busy on Sundays so make sure to have a reservation ready. As for the food, I had an egg sandwich which was very good and would recommend.

I was so excited to go to Half and Half for the first time after hearing so many great reviews. However, I was pretty disappointed. The place is small and there is no room to wait in the restaurant unless you are blocking a waitress from getting to the condiment section. The food came out fast and service was great. I was not impressed with the quality of the food. I had ordered avocado toast and doughnuts that I took a picture of. My partner ordered the breakfast biscuit, which was terrible, not picture worthy at all. The biscuit was hard and the meat had some weird stuff mixed in it. The potatoes were very plain. There are better breakfast restaurants that are not over priced. read more
