    Horseshoe - better like tasty Gravy!
    Shad S.

    Service has been fast and friendly. Portions large! Might just be the best breakfast spot in Fenton.

    We came for a late breakfast and appreciated they serve breakfast all day until they close at 3. I ordered the Daily Special with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and hash browns. Scrambled eggs were served hot and steaming. The gravy was just ok; it needed more sausage in the gravy.Biscuits were so so. A cutely decorated diner with only mediocre food today.

    My corned beef skillet with eggs & hash browns along with the side of pancakes. Was starving & could barely finish it.

    Went to Polly's Diner in Fenton on a weekday morning and I had a wonderful breakfast with a corned beef skillet that came loaded with delicious hash browns, 2 eggs on top and a side of 2 pancakes that was a meal and a half that filled me up for the whole day and costed a little under $20 including a coke with free refills and the tip. It was much better than chain places like Denny's and similar chain places I've ate at for breakfast around St. Louis, I'd give it a 4.5 stars if they allowed half stars. Although I don't think Polly's is quite good my favorite breakfast restaurants in South St. Louis, this place is closer to me. I enjoyed their Polly's signature hot sauce on my eggs that added a little heat but not too hot for me. I loved that they offer a dish called the horseshoe for breakfast as well as lunch that's originally a Springfield, Illinois' typical signature dish overloaded with hash browns, bacon or sausage and sausage gravy for breakfast and for lunch is usually overloaded with fries and whatever variation of toppings that comes with it so I'll order a horseshoe the next time I'm there , maybe for lunch. Service was quick and friendly with a smile and the restaurant has a nice diner ambiance.

    I have been wanting to try Polly's Diner for months now and finally had the chance to do so! They have an extensive menu. Their daily specials are posted just inside the entrance. For my first visit, I chose the mostaccioli and garlic bread. To drink, I ordered coffee and water. The coffee was strong and freshly made. The mostaccioli was cooked to perfection, and the garlic bread was quite tasty. Portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. I received excellent service and was acknowledged almost immediately after being seated. The diner's decor is a mix of oddities including parrots almost everywhere you look. Be aware this place is really busy. If the upper parking lot is full, they also have a lower lot for overflow. I'm looking forward to visiting Polly's Diner again for breakfast.

    Polly's has not been open very long but on our day they were hitting on all cylinders Snappy environment, welcoming servers, great food, and a menu that hits all the right spots. Beware, portions are huge. Good luck Polly!

    Met friends at Polly's for lunch, it was super busy, so we had to park in the overflow lot. We were seated right away though and were waited on immediately. Super friendly and fast service, the food came out pretty quickly, I ordered their Reuben w/fries....yummmm! So good! Everyone ordered a different dish and were equally pleased with their choice for lunch. Unfortunately, it was so good, I forgot to take a pic before I devoured it...so I will have to go back! Super cute little diner in old town Fenton, check it out!

    Yummy taco salad
    Maggie H.

    Brand new diner in Fenton! Everyone was friendly and considering the crowd and the newness of the place, service was reasonably fast on a busy Sunday morning. My taco salad was delicious. Would like to know whether they make the taco in house. My companion and I couldn't get enough of it. That alone is worth a return trip. The decor is eclectic. I like the parrot look; lean into that. I like Polly's and will return!

    Everything was ok- nothing outstanding. Can gravy and store bought biscuits. Coffee is barely drinkable.

She can do any flavor imaginable! 1st cake was ordered in September. My daughter is very specific on what she wants lol. She went with the Summer I turned pretty theme of course. I bought the seashells on Amazon and had the bakery add it to the cake. This is where it gets interesting....my daughter wanted strawberry cake with pineapple filling and for the sand to be biscoff crumbs (we love biscoff)! Let me tell you!!! The cake was so delicious! Not only did every guest actually wanted a piece but for once the entire cake was gone with no leftovers . 2nd cake I ordered it in October for my son's 21st birthday. She loves Biscoff as much as we do so she asked for a biscoff cake and that cake was also so good!!! My son who wasn't a biscoff fan became a fan. 3rd cake is in order for Jan. 14th so I'll update it with more pictures

The location is very cute with excellent signage and they have the cart out front that they still use for leftover/end of day discount items. There was a large variety of baked goods on the day I stopped in. It was hard to choose just one so I had to try a few. Gooey butter cake was very good, definitely stl style. The apple turnover was PERFECTION with a light crust and the perfect amount of filling. I purchased a sugar -free cheesecake for hubby and he loved it. The texture was excellent. We were so excited that they had a sugar free offering! Prices were very reasonable. Especially for the sugar free. I will be back!

    This place is adorable. It was a cold and rainy day so luckily we came after the morning rush and…read morehad no problem. Sitting at one of the small tables. The staff were friendly and smiling and made me feel very welcome. I got a biscuit and gravy and couldn't decide between spicy gravy or traditional sausage gravy so I was offered the opportunity for half and half and I jumped in it. Both gravy's were so flavorful with plenty of sausage. The biscuit was delicious. It was not flaky and buttery but held up well to the gravy atop it so I liked the texture a lot. I also got a hash brown and it was seasoned well and needed no ketchup or the like. It wasn't amazing, but compared to some others it was very good... but let's face it, I didn't go to a biscuit shop for the hash browns. I got a peach tea which was outstanding. Definitely on the sweeter side but that was so easily fixed by letting the ice melt to bring the sweetness down a bit to my preference. Overall I was very happy with my food and the staff and would definitely recommend giving it a try for both sweet and savory biscuits. Will return to try a sweet biscuit next time :)

There are plenty of breakfast and biscuit spots in this city. Don't spend your money here. I have been eating here for a long time and recently had a terrible experience on weds, Jan 28. It was my girlfriend's birthday and we chose to come here to start the day. It got a little busy after we came in , but asked for water and the jug never got filled. That's not even my complaint. Just a nod to the laziness. The staff seemed to come in and spread out everywhere at a table in the small indoor eating area. No big deal, but a little messy. There was no music playing and my gf said in normal conversation to me that there was no music and the vibe was off and that they probably focus on the patio being the vibe (which was covered in a foot of snow)...to which the man at the counter proceeded to ask us how things were and wrap it up with snarkily telling us we were welcome to outside. It was gross to talk to customers like that, and I am sorry that the ego of the employee caused them to interject themselves into a conversation that wasn't rude or loud or had anything to do with them. In my 20 years in the industry I would definitely not support my staff practicing such crappy service. And it really embarrassed us publicly in a quiet restaurant for no reason. Again. Please spend your money at another local business with mature and respectful service. *edit: after reading another recent review about poor service to a family of black people, I wanted to note in my review that my gf is also biracial...

The group I went with called ahead and managed to reserve a few tables for the 15 of us who were dining together. It was a little (or a large) holiday brunch and while we could not all sit together, they still managed to get us a few tables near each other so that we could mingle as needed. Our server was Nikki and she was a delight! She managed our orders and kept up with the food and drinks like a champ! Taking orders for a large group is never easy, especially when people keep moving around and new people join, but Nikki did it with ease. When I arrived, she offered me some coffee and made sure to keep it filled throughout the morning. She provided creamer options and made sure I was good with water since that's all I asked for. When it was time to order, she made her way around the table and made sure to write orders down and she confirmed with each of us before submitting the ticket to the kitchen. When the food came out, everything looked so good and the plates were filled with delicious food. I was so happy for my cheese grits and the traditional buttermilk pancakes. My meal was the one that came with eggs and chicken sausage and then I chose grits as my side and this meal came with pancakes. I didn't realize it would come with so many of them, but I was thrilled to see the stack! The food was really good and the pancakes were fluffy and so tasty. I would def get them again. Nikke was able to separate our checks and again, I applaud her ability to keep things straight since there were lots of us and so many food/drink options to organize, but she did a great job! We all paid our tabs and were on our way after only being in there for an hour and twenty minutes. It was a well serviced brunch and we were all very happy and full when we left. I will be back again soon!

I exchanged them for the home style potatoes which were like warm and had definitely been sitting for some time. My partner got some and said his was hot and fresh. The coleslaw was interesting and finely chopped. It wasn't vinegar based but also wasn't the sweet/creamy type like KFC or Long John. It was just kind of there. The grits were again bland. The Biscuit was hot and fresh but they didn't have butter on the table for it. I should've asked but didn't so that's on me. Our server was kind but the expediter lady didn't seem as friendly. I would say if you haven't been give them a try for yourself.

Melanie laughed when I commented on it so glowingly. She also offered up that they've got a bacon cheeseburger with this bacon on it, and waffles as the buns. My tacos came out a little after the bacon, which was perfect. They were much heftier than I expected. I was only able to finish one, and brought the other two home. Also delicious. Chorizo, scrambled eggs, toppings, sour cream, and salsa. NOM. I'm not much for sweets, but couldn't help passing by the bakery case, because everything looked so good. This is a wonderful place. Excellent service from start to finish, reasonable prices, and cool decor. I've definitely got to come back again, bring my kids, and try more of the menu.
