This has always been one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants.. it's cozy and family friendly…read more This was my late father's #1 place for every special occasion. I'm trying to keep that tradition alive. The food NEVER disappoints and they always make the guest feel welcomed. Today was no different. Our party of 8 were celebrating a family member's great health news. When our server, Erin asked the occasion, she returned with a COMPLIMENTARY glass of champagne for each of the adults! Even though the restaurant was busy, Erin was super attentive and patient. We had the carbonara and Fleurissant pastas, chicken power bowl, salmon salad, Greek salad and gyro. The kids had cheeseburgers and grilled cheese. For dessert: key lime pie, chocolate lava cake and maple caramel cheesecake. EVERYTHING was superb and we all made happy plates! Our group also commented how the prices seem to have remained steady over the past several years. That's a big plus! Hendels knows how to keep us coming back! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Hidden historic gem in Florissant! Established in 1873, this building operated as a grocery and…read moregeneral store until becoming a restaurant in 1994. We discovered this restaurant after car shopping at some dealerships on Lindbergh. The space offers both indoor and outdoor patio seating as well as a separate bar space. The restaurant's bones are noticeably historic and the décor choice is a mix of farmhouse and modern styles. Our server was very friendly and answered any questions we had and was also enthusiastic about our car-buying process, encouraging celebratory drinks. The food was delicious! American fare with a modern twist - Hendel's had lots of brunch and lunch options. I opted for the Salmon Power Bowl and it tasted extremely fresh and healthy. Definitely stop in to this spot if you're in the Florissant area and looking for some historic charm.

Brunch at The Hive Cafe today!…read more I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of grits, and everything was good. The waitress was very personable and provided great service. The ambiance was just okay, but I was happy it wasn't loud sometimes a quiet brunch is exactly what's needed. The wait time was a little longer than I would have liked, but good food takes time, and judging by how busy they were, it's easy to see why. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy a relaxed meal and good conversation.

Came here on a weekday for Brunch to support a #BlackOwnedBusiness…read more The building is bright and welcoming, love the touch of Black musicians & music as decorations in the front. The front room has benches and an area to order/pick up to go food and also where a hostess gets you to seat you. Although pretty packed there were available tables so we got seated pretty quickly. Our server was polite and was efficient with taking our order. We ordered the pancakes, 2 catfish plates, and the shrimp and grits. The wait was excessive for our food (over 45 min wait) and we saw people who sat after us getting their food before us which was disappointing. When our food arrived the flavor was good but items like the potatoes and my eggs were cold. On top of that once we ordered our waiter never checked back in with us for drinks, to see how the food was, if we needed to go containers etc which was disappointing. We had to ask new potatoes as ours were cold and that took almost 15 minutes to get to us and the ones we got were lukewarm. Considering the wait for our meals and then for hot potatoes it was disappointing that even the new item ended up being lukewarm. We ended up having to flag down someone else to ask for to go boxes and had to also flag down our waiter when we finally saw him again 10 minutes later to get the check. Overall it was ok but the lack of hot food and customer service brought the experience down. All businesses can have an off day and I love supporting Black owned businesses so we will still be back to give it a try again

The customer service was just average. The young lady was working on some to go orders when we arrived. She didn't greet us. She was very nice when taking the order. The food came out quickly. The gyro was well seasoned. The burger was just okay. I did like the mushrooms and Swiss cheese. They only offer medium well and well done. You can tell it was a frozen patty. The fries were mid. The buffalo wings were decent. I came to try the doughnut cheeseburger. They were out of glazed doughnut. It was near closing time.

I'm so excited for this new to the neighborhood coffee spot with food options!…read more I've been to their other two locations and enjoy the food (and ambiance of the Washington location). I purchased the iced Pearl coffee drink along with the breakfast fried rice. Both are worth reordering. There are only three seats inside the establishment which are more so for guests waiting for their order, so it's not a dine in establishment. But the food options come out piping hot so you'll still get to taste it while it's fresh.

Great local diner…read more.. I live less than 5 minutes from JoJo's, and have been there several times. Time for a quick review. I'm under the impression that the chef is also the owner. The menu is breakfast-centric (they open early and close at 2:00). There is also a slight Mediterranean bent... gyro omelet, for instance. The breakfast potatoes are a real favorite, thin, browned, crisp rounds... I always tell myself I'm not going to eat all the potatoes (I could stand to lose a few pounds!), but I always eat them anyway. This guy can cook! The food is fresh, flavors on point, and even though I've usually had breakfast there, I've also had a couple of burgers, which were excellent. The chili is also really great, and they always ask if you want cheese and chopped onions on it. I'm a little surprised by the comments about slow service. That has not been my experience, but perhaps it's because I'm retired, so I'm not going there at the crack of dawn. All in all, I recommend this place if you are looking for an old-fashioned diner with downhome food. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We walked in and it took a minute to be greeted, which is fine. I understand places get busy. We…read morewere eventually told to have a seat wherever we liked. After sitting down, I noticed paper menus sitting on the counter, so I walked over to grab them. The lady at the register, who later claimed to be the manager after I asked to speak to one, said, "I will bring them to you." Also fine. I simply went back to our booth and waited. When she came over, instead of saying hello or introducing herself, her first words were, "You need to practice a little patience." That immediately put my service radar on high alert. There was no attitude from us, no complaints, we had simply walked over to grab menus. The comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. She then asked what we wanted to drink. I calmly asked, "Can you wipe the table down?" Her response: "It is." I replied, "It is not there are spots on the table." She then pointed at the table and said, "These are imperfections." I know the difference between imperfections in a surface and spots that can be wiped clean. The table clearly had residue on it. Rather than simply wiping it down, she chose to argue. At that point, I told my husband, "Let's just leave." The entire interaction felt dismissive, defensive, and rude. When I asked to speak to a manager, she claimed she was the manager. I let her know directly that her tone and behavior were inappropriate, and we left. Customer service is about making guests feel welcome. This felt the exact opposite. I should have trusted the 3.7-star rating, but I gave the benefit of the doubt. That was a mistake. Do not waste your time or money here.

I am in a stupor. I have never seen nor heard of this place. It's a typical older diner with booths and a rather older interior. Our server seemed to be busy. She brought our drinks and said she would be back. Not my favorite thing a server said. She shows up, takes our order, and the food comes out rather quickly. When I first saw the ham, I was thinking, "Oh boy, this is not going to be good." Tasted way better than it looked. I did the same thing with the brown-and-serve sausage. Tasted better than it looked. Eggs, toast, and hash brown were all good.

My wife and I went out for brunch today and ended up at First Watch. We arrived around 10:30 a.m.,…read moreand the place was busy--only a couple of tables were open--but we were seated right away. We started with coffee, which was smooth and well-balanced--definitely a great way to kick off brunch. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict, featuring poached eggs on toasted ciabatta with smoked sockeye salmon, red onion, tomato, and hollandaise, served with mixed greens. I went with the Market Hash, which included eggs over seasoned potatoes with mushrooms, onions, red peppers, spinach, mozzarella, and herbed goat cheese, along with whole grain toast. The food itself was very good--flavorful, fresh, and enjoyable. The only downside was the timing. Even though we weren't in a rush, we noticed a couple of tables that were seated way after us received their food before we did. I guess the kitchen doesn't believe is FIFO. (First In First Out). It wasn't a major issue, but it did stand out. Our server was fine--nothing exceptional, but no real complaints either. Overall, it was a solid brunch experience with tasty food, and I'd still consider coming back to this location.

I am hoping perhaps this was an off day for them.
