Great local diner with an extensive menu! We stopped in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of options to choose from. The staff was very kind and attentive but not overbearing. Our waitress was patient with questions and willing to help with substitutions! The French toast was sooo good, so be sure to leave room for a 1/2 order! The location is great too, right across from Shaw park so easy to go on a quick post brunch walk! read more

Was delighted to find a KS Diner in Clayton, having frequented the one in CWE. The menu has something for everyone - breakfast/lunch/ brunch, including healthy dishes like Veggie Hash (my favorite!) Chock full of roasted Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes, perfectly seasoned. Portions are generous - you won't go away hungry. Gracious, accommodating service. Went on a Saturday with ~ 15 people. Our wait service gentleman patiently answered our questions, got all specific requests out perfectly and was very willing to provide separate checks. KS Clayton a bit more upscale than typical diner. But prices are reasonable and ambience pleasant and conducive to conversation. A great asset to our Clayton breakfast choices and my new fave! . read more

Nice place to visit for breakfast or even brunch. They have quite a few unique menu options, which made it hard for me to choose what I wanted to order; but that was a good thing since everything looked so good. I ended up having one of the omelettes and it came with hash and toast. I liked that I could choose what type of bread I wanted for the toast and ended up choosing an English muffin. Overall the taste of the food was good. The portion size was filling, although the hash was a little too greasy for me and some pieces were overcooked - too hard to eat. However this would not deter me from coming back. This place has a nice vibe and as previously mentioned the menu has a variety of nice options. I would come back to try more things. read more

Kingside Diner in Cwe is in a prime location and the patio I'm sure is awesome in the summer. The food was just okay in my opinion. The portions for most the meals at our table were large so that's a plus especially since I found them to be pricey. The seating inside seemed odd between the different rooms. Our server was nice and helpful. read more

Some friends and I chose breakfast here since it was close to our job. There was no wait on a late Thursday morning. The restaurant was nice and the music in the background was great! The food was just ok, though. I ordered what's basically a traditional breakfast. I noticed that their pancakes, waffles, and French toast don't come as a platter, but they will allow you to upgrade your bread to a pancake for a small upcharge with their traditional breakfast. The eggs and hash browns were fine. The turkey sausage was just ok. I was not the biggest fan of the pancake. It was very flat and a little hard on top and I prefer a fluffy pancake. I ordered the mimosa flight and it was really good! My favorite was the apple cider mimosa. Although I wasn't wowed, I'm open to trying something different. read more

Kingside Diner - Stuffed pepper soup and breakfast Bacon Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

I was delighted when Kingside Diner opened in Clayton. Enjoyed the new one (not its predecessor) in the CWE. Yummy lattes and just about every breakfast choice I can think of. Today had the Veggie Hash with roasted sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Servings are very generous, and food fresh and delicious. A wonderful addition to our neighborhood! read more

Ordered food to go on 01/06/2026 and I asked the woman at the counter if I could have a coffee while I wait. She instead of acknowledging me and what I said directly to her face turned and walked away and began refilling beverages at the tables. She did not return to the counter and never acknowledged my presence again. This was not only unprofessional but incredibly disrespectful. I have always liked the food at kingside diner and usually frequent their other locations, but was in the area yesterday. I will not be going back to this location. read more

My husband and I have been here before and it was decent, so we recommended it to our family visiting from out of town. We even had two Hollywood stars with us, and recommending this place turned out to be the WORST mistake. I was beyond embarrassed. The service was absolutely terrible. Some of our food never came out at all, and the food that did arrive wasn't even hot. On top of that, we didn't receive any utensils. It took forever just to get utensils, and even longer to get syrup. I called three hours ahead of time to confirm they could accommodate a large party, and they assured me it wouldn't be a problem. We showed up ready to enjoy good food and spend our money, but that was far from what we experienced. The sausage was so hard that if you threw it across the room, it would probably shatter. Our waitress was laughing at the issues we were dealing with and acted like she had no real interest in helping or resolving anything. To be fair, the manager was very kind. He listened to our concerns and genuinely tried to make things right, but unfortunately the damage was already done. Great ambiance though. read more

Food was great!! Service was excellent and the place was nice. The only issue would be parking on the busy streets of Clayton

I'm really surprised that this place gets so many rave reviews. We went here for brunch and were entirely underwhelmed. After getting to our table it took forever for the server to come and take our drink order. After bringing our drinks it took forever again for her to come back and get our food order. The service in general was not great, but frankly I felt bad for our server. When we looked around it appeared as though she was the only server in the entire diner, plus there was a group in a private room that she was serving too. We all felt bad for her. I had been looking forward to the breakfast burrito, but when it arrived I was disappointed because it was super bland. It didn't seem like they had seasoned anything inside it, and I don't know that there was the pepper jack cheese inside as advertised. I dont know how to describe it, but everything was so unseasoned and bland. Everyone at the table felt the same way about their food. I wouldn't be back here if I was in town again. read more

Great food, delicious mimosas and the chicken and waffles. We have co me several times and brought family with us too

Service is contradictory... so I tried this place out of a whim and fell in love with the "damn delicious". So much so that I've been here five times in the last two weeks...well, weirdly enough 2/5 times I have received military discount. The other 3/5 I've been told they don't offer military discount... I always add my discount and then some as a tip. Well, this one visit the "supposed manager" gave me a bit of an attitude, so obviously I didn't give her a tip. I was ready to drop a $5 bill to the counter clerk for a $15 order but yeah, not today. Also, be aware that cell service doesn't work in the building. read more

Went for breakfast with my sister. Upon entry, it was seat yourself so there were plenty of opportunities to sit. The waiter was very helpful with questions and I eventually was able to order a skillet and a pancake with a latte. The latte was a vanilla latte and it was a good standard latte. The skillet had plenty of meat (bacon, sausage and ham) and the egg on top was scrambled. It was a good meal. The pancake was good as well. I'll def come back. read more

And absolutely delicious breakfast. I judge a breakfast place by their coffee. I'm not sure what brand they use, but the house coffee was rich and delicious. We ordered several different things and each one was a stand out! Damn Delicious is a knife and fork breakfast sandwich on a croissant covered in delicious sausage gravy. A side of hash browns rounded out an already hearty meal. Chicken & Waffles are a breakfast staple and this plate did not disappoint. The waffles are super crispy (I need to figure out their secret). And the chicken tenders are well seasoned and juicy. The maple syrup sets the entire plate off! The plate also comes with a side of eggs. To Bee or not not to Bee a beautiful French toast with fruit and a drizzle of honey. A beautiful meal. Corn+beef+hash is an epic skillet meal. Corn and beef and hash browns with eggs and toast. Absolutely delicious. read more

Great spot for breakfast food. I went here with a friend and it was a great casual spot to catch up with friends or go when it is cold outside, or at any time really. The food was cook just right. Such a great start to the morning for me. The menu have a wide variety of choices for breakfast when I went. This place was busy even in the early morning. I did not have any trouble with finding parking when I went there. The service was great, everyone seems so friendly. I definitely will be back. read more

Service was horrible. I was seated, waited awhile, was given a water and menu- then they walked away and didn't come back till they seated another customer near me who was given water, a bottle of water, a menu and was offered a cinnamon roll. I felt like such an after thought! I had the avocado toast- says it has balsamic and goat cheese, but I hardly saw any. For "toast" it was cold and hardly toasted at all. Eggs were done well. Fruit was fine. Had to ask for my bill. Certainly didn't live up to the reviews on here. read more

Tried a new brunch place in the Saint Louis suburb of Clayton on a Sunday morning. There are two locations that are approximately 1.5 mile apart. Parking is off street or nearby parking garage. I elected for off street and the area was clean. I will note for whatever reason GPS gets confused finding the address. It's in an office building with restaurant on first floor. The restaurant is good size with a bar counter. Windows are along an entire side, so it bright and has a modern feel. Everything felt spic and span clean! My party arrived at approximately 9 AM to put the name down for 930 arrival. We were offered a private room. When everyone arrived shortly before 930 we were quickly greeted by the hostess and led to our room. Our waitress arrived within a few minutes and set up water crafts, coffee and napkins. In short time our hungry party put in orders. I believe everyone got something different. My order Country Fried steak with gravy, two eggs over easy with potatoes and toast. I really enjoyed. Approximately 20 minutes later food was on the table and timing was correct for everyone at the same time. My dish was very good. The coffee was excellent! Everyone else also really enjoyed. Service my our single female waitress was outstanding with follow up on food, refills on water and coffee. Price for the amount and quality about right. I think a 4.5 best suits them. There was no service errors. Our timing of being seated and food arrival was above average. The food taste was above average although not what I would call 5 star. Locating the diner was annoying, but not their fault. I will return next visit. read more

A very average diner in downtown Clayton. Food was good, but nothing to write home about. I appreciated the attempt to make the diner feel chess-themed, and there were some cool pictures on the wall and small touches like a chess board you could play at by the front door. But overall it just felt like a regular restaurant with a bunch of TV's for you to watch the news at while you're eating. Service was also pretty average--no complaints but nothing stellar. I'd go again if I'm invited, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back again. read more

I went to this Kingside in Clayton for the first time. It was a Sunday at 10 am and it wasn't that busy which really surprised me - they said there was an event at the park across the street that was taking a lot of parking. When we left there was a wait. It is a bit challenging to find where you enter since the address is on Bonhomme but the actual entrance is off Brentwood. The service was a bit slow even though there wasn't that many people there but the server was very nice. I ordered a bacon omelet but by the time I tasted a couple bites, I realized it was the wrong type of omelet. I decided not to say anything since my dining companion was heading to catch a flight. The omelet was bland tasting - I prefer many other places including IHOPs. I also order a muffin but got a biscuit - the biscuit was good. I got a large orange juice and it was good. Overall if someone needed a decent place to go for breakfast in Clayton, this might be okay but I think there are much better breakfast places around. read more

Kingside Diner - Excellent atmosphere, food and cocktails. very busy spot for Sunday brunch! I had the Johnny Cash with a blood orange mimosa. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

Having visited this location about 3 or 4 times, it's a pretty solid Breakfast/Brunch experience. Great location in Clayton and keeps a steady stream of business on the weekend, prepare for a 30 to 40 minute wait. I typically go for a Breakfast Burrito and Hashbrowns as it's pretty filling. The least enjoyable meal I've tried was the Flatbread, hard pass. read more

Kingside Diner is not your typical diner. It is an upscale diner, that serves delicious comfort food for both breakfast and lunch on the edge of downtown Clayton. It has a full service bar and they make one killer Spicy Bloody Mary that is always a go to for me. On my first visit I intended to order their, Slinger after seeing chef Eric preparing on TV. Come on, The Slinger is a St Louis classic breakfast, why wouldn't I give it a try? Then as I sat at the bar, I saw the pictures posted of their Damn Delicious and thought I'd give it a try. The server also shared with me that the DD was chef Eric's favorite. As I got ready to order, my attention went in another direction. I saw another picture posted here on Yelp of the Veggie Hash. I love Brussels Sprouts, so I was sold. I enjoyed a full plate of fresh, crisp sprouts covered with two eggs over easy. Delicious! I couldn't be totally healthy, I had to add a side of bacon and Hash Browns. My next visit I choose, Damn Delicious. The DD is very filling, it is a lot of food. They take two scrambled eggs with bacon and put it between a sliced croissant. They then smother that with sausage gravy, shredded cheddar and chives. If that isn't enough, it is served with a side of Hash Browns. I was so stuffed, I skipped lunch that day. I'll share a little secret with you, I prefer the Clayton location over the CWE. The service here is more personal and friendly. Veronica is a delight, excellent server. I also think the food is prepared and presented better. Note - the address is on Bonhomme Ave, but you actually enter the restaurant on Brentwood. I'll be back? - Yes! Gotta try that Slinger When: June 6 & 13, 2019 Why: Breakfast read more

Kingside Diner - Country Fried Steak and Hash Browns with scrambled eggs, peppers, onions and cheese. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

I thought I'd experiment and try the location in Clayton out, it came up in a list of "Top Ten Brunch Locations in STL." When we arrived it was seat yourself, mostly empty with a few tables. We sat down, talked for a bit and noticed that three more tables came in and had menus. "Were we supposed to pick up our own menus to order?" my wife asked. I wasn't sure, went up to the empty hostess booth and looked around to see if there were menus there, foolishly asked a table where they got their menus and they told me the waitress gave them to them. I finally spotted a waitress returning drinks to a table and waved to her to flag her down but to no avail. I walked up to the kitchen area where a couple of waiters were chatting and asked if I could get some menus, they said oh sure they'll send someone over. Half an hour after arrival we finally got our menus. They then gave us plenty of time to pick our food out too, very generous of them. The food was alright, no idea how this gets placed on a top ten brunch list, probably via paid placement. read more

Always the best brunch - and make sure that you go during the happy hour and get a Bloody Mary! They have a variety of tasty choices and my vegetarian heart loves the roasted veggie hash thing, name I can't remember because I am in pure Brussel sprouts bliss! The cheddar drop biscuits and gravy were excellent (but I didn't have the gravy as it's not vegetarian) my friend has the B&G's and put the gravy on her eggs too! I am always delighted by the food, the service is always excellent and the variety on the menu of fresh and unique brunch favorites will keep you coming back! read more

Got into town and was looking for a diner. Found this on yelp and thought we would try it. The waitress was ok, a little off, maybe she had lots of tables. The food was good, my cappuccino was good, but one of the guys got coffee and it was cold. I would probably go back to try again. read more
