    Breakfast special sub ham
    Jo Nell R.

    Breakfast! Polly's Diner is kind of a hole in the wall, and I can't speak for any other food except for the breakfast. The place is always busy when we are there, the waitstaff are hustling and friendly. Quick and efficient and getting the food out quickly. Eggs and hashbrowns are great, taste like eggs and hashbrowns. No strange oil used to cook them that overpowers the taste. Biscuits and gravy are peppered gravy and not sausage, they are great. Busy place, efficient and friendly, quick service, decent pricing and great breakfast!

    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.

    Vent cover? Took photo to show hubster as I liked it.

    We parked right next to the main door, but family had to park two lots away. Yes, it was crowded, but service was FAST & food hot. So many specials & large menu makes me want to come again as well as the workers. Everyone was nice & some were related. So many pie/cake choices I was literally distracted to a halt on arrival, Then when leaving I was enthralled by a gigantic bowl of candy...also generous variety. Sadly, I did not have room for pie/candy. Served the most fries of any restaurant I have eaten at in 2025, & the thickest roast beef sandwich I have ever eaten. Hubster got a basic burger & polished his off as well. Family got a sandwich my mom would have wanted, but I'll be bringing her back for pie! I look forwarded to looking at the decor more on my next visit...pirate-vibes made me smile. We were engrossed in conversation & were one of last to leave before the closed. They did not rush us. We were there over an hour and half. Only restroom at a restaurant I have ever been in with a bidet!

    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!

    Horseshoe - better like tasty Gravy!

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

    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!

    Visited for brunch today, 8/17/26. I had heard good things during my time living in the area almost…read morea decade ago but had never been, so I decided to give it a try finally. Overall rating 3.5/5, even though I can't give half stars here on Yelp. One star for ambiance/vibes. This is a gorgeous, quaint little eatery in a lush area of Saint Louis County, right near Grant's Trail. One star for service. My server was a kind lady who made sure I was always doing well and kept my water glass topped off. One star for going above and beyond--I ordered gooey butter cake as a sweet treat and apparently whomever cut the slices made them too small so they gave me two but only charged me for one. Half a star for the gooey butter cake and espresso martini. Neither was the best instance of either I've ever had but they were the best part of the actual meal. Unfortunately, I think I made the wrong entree choice. I went with the biscuit (singular) and gravy and a side of sausage links. The biscuit is described as "jumbo" but didn't feel much bigger than what I'd consider a regular-sized biscuit. It also wasn't nearly as fluffy as I would have liked and was quite tough and hard at points, nearly requiring the use of a knife to cut it. The gravy was relatively flavorless and wasn't improved much by either salt or pepper. The sausage links were passable. I'm willing to give the shop another shot (and order something different) once I try some other brunch places on my list but I was a little disappointed on this visit because I wanted to like my food more.

Older folks who want to sit around and take up a table for 2 hours sipping on a cup of coffee this isn't the place for you.

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!

    TL;dr version- loved this place and will make regular appearances here…read more I have no idea why we haven't been here yet. Now that we have, it's going to the top of our regular rotation of breakfast places. Homey atmosphere, plenty of tables and bar seating (no alcohol). Busy but not too busy. We sat at the bar. The staff were so friendly. The menu is just big enough to have a good selection without being overwhelming (no one needs a 10 page menu). The prices were outstanding. We looked at the menu online ahead of time and thought it must be an outdated menu with outdated prices. Nope. We both got the Big Biscuit Breakfast. Yep, it was big. It took a little bit to come out, but we were in no hurry, so that was fine. It was sooo good. I appreciate the generous serving of gravy. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly- not too crispy, not too soggy. We didn't get any drinks besides water, but we had a front row seat watching them being made. I wish I had room for one, because they looked spectacular. We had a decent amount leftover to take home for tomorrow's breakfast. The bartender offered to make us water cups for the road (a really nice extra touch). The place looked clean and put together nicely. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch.
