Been here for 2o years for a reason. It's a classic affordable breakfast spot, which used to be everywhere but seems to be rarer these days. Anyways the food is great, it's basic breakfast done right and for a fair price. There is a reason its been here for 20 years. 5 stars. They deliver on what they are selling. read more

I stopped by early one Sunday afternoon, so they were fairly packed when I arrived. Attentive, friendly service, reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. Also a very big throwback, as it's proper diner food. Bring a big appetite or prepare for leftovers! Good option for a hearty breakfast read more

Nice little cafe style restaurant. Service was friendly and the food was fast. There isn't too much room here, so we had about a ten minute wait. Totally worth it. Food was plentiful. We enjoyed eating here and will probably come again when we sr win the area. read more

Boardwalk Cafe has a special place in my heart because it's in the town where I grew up--about a two-minute drive from my high school. Funny enough, I never really ate there growing up, but I've come to appreciate a great breakfast much more as an adult. It has a great small-diner vibe, with booths all around, so it can fill up fast--which is honestly just how you want it. The servers are great and everything comes out incredibly quick. Everything there is good, but I usually go with the namesake of the place: the Boardwalk Omelet, plus the hash browns and, of course, the toast. Whew--you absolutely cannot go wrong with this. Ever. read more

Went in on a Saturday morning. We were able to get a table for 5 quickly. Service was great. Waitress kept our coffees filled. We did have to ask for ketchup & mustard to be brought to the table. Its a small space & you can see them cooking in the back. They have some seating outside thats covered. We ordered 2 breakfasts & split them. Its a lot of food for the price. We had pancakes with sausage & eggs. Biscuits n gravy with bacon and eggs & hashbrowns. The food is a little greasy. Diner food. But for the price point its pretty darn good! read more

Somethings off about this place. The waiters, the food, the ambiance I don't know. Greasy low quality food but they definitely have loyal customers. Hard pass. read more

This is a Breakfast and lunch restaurant in the Old Orchard part of Webster. It's got a homey feel to it so it is definitely a Cafe. It's also busy on a Sunday morning so expect a wait for a table. The service is fast and no nonsense. Every dish is cooked to order so expect to wait for food to arrive after you've placed it. The servings are enormous, the food is very good and the menu has something for every taste. When I go back I am going to split my order with my friend. It's unique. read more

Terrific little down home Breakfast spot. Perfect for a quick stop while shopping or meeting with old friends. Tucked away in a shopping strip in the beginning of Old Webster district. Food was hot and seasoned. The restaurant was packed on a late morning week day but tables and service were quick and attentive. The only thing that kept them from 5 stars is the lack of ventilation or maybe no hoods in the back of the house. Will definitely return. read more

The Boardwalk Cafe - French toast - American Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

Love love love it here!!!! When you walk it it is very small but always clean, smells great, Tye service is quick and efficient. All the servers are sweet and very attentive to any questions or needs. The food portions are well worth your money!!! My go to is always the omelets or the skillets. We have been going here for over 10 years and will always return read more

First time coming to this dinner. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a cafe. It's def more of a dinner type feel w/o the stools at counter lol. Or an upscale Denny's . Regardless...you sit where you want which was awkward for someone coming in for the first time and everyone just looks at you until a staff tells you "sit anywhere you like". But!!!! The ladies here are all friendly, they look happy to be there and they have regulars from what I could hear (there's no music ...you can hear all the conversations around you ). The menu....so many options to pick from and the portions are very generous and pricing...well I haven't seen them that low since before Covid lol. Husband and I each ordered food, order of biscuits and gravy bc it's a must wherever I go, and two drinks and our bill was $34. We haven't seen our bill that low in a long time! The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly, crispy but not crunchy or oily. My Greek omelette was sooo good!! The biscuits and gravy....well I'm picky and always looking for the perfect gravy and this gravy was just your basic gravy...but the biscuits must've been made from scratch bc the outside were crisp and the inside so light and not dense. Actually loved their biscuits. In conclusion, I highly recommend this place for any one looking for a chill, not over priced, but good breakfast place. I def will be back to try other omelette with biscuits to go . read more

This is the greatest breakfast ever and so much value here I hate to post this because everyone will go and I hate to wait for a table!!!

I had the vegetable skillet (minus peppers) w added fresh avocados. It was delish! Tge servers are always so helpful and nice. The kitchen does a great job preparing food that is tasty and satisfying. Great little neighborhood joint with a homey feel. Check out the hours.... They close at 3p read more

The Boardwalk cafe has everything you need for a good breakfast spot. Nothing too fancy, but it has a lot of character. When we walked in, the place was filled! Took us about 5 minutes to get a seat. Coffee, omelet, hash browns, and toast is what I had. Nothing over the top, but I liked the vibe. If you're looking for a local spot who does the basics right, they've got you covered! read more

The Boardwalk Cafe - Egg white omelet with hashbrowns - American Near Me - Webster Groves, Missouri

Webster Groves has a lot of really solid breakfast options - Telva is great, Clover and the Bee is fantastic - but the one I keep coming back to is The Boardwalk Cafe. This is no-frills, friendly, neighborhood breakfast, eggs and hash browns and bacon and coffee that isn't house-roasted and fancy but still gets the job done. The waitstaff are kind and direct, and it's obvious that they know their regulars and want you to become one of them. Everything is pretty dang affordable, the booths are well-worn, and I've yet to walk in when someone isn't waiting for a seat to open up, given the folks who keep showing up here, whether wearing overalls, business suits, or in carseats, lugged around by their parents, all hungry and knowing that they'll leave satisfied. I'm a big fan of Boardwalk's omelettes, have greatly enjoyed their skillets, and love the wide sweep of their hours - 7-8PM Monday through Saturday, and 7-3PM on Sunday - leaving me generally able to get their whenever I feel the itch. This isn't fancy breakfast, but it's good, honest, a greasy spoon leveled-up with zero pretentiousness and plenty of small town in a big city charm. Recommended. read more

We love this place. I was too busy enjoying to snap photos but will add next time we go! We've been going here for years and they do not disappoint. The vibe is like an old school diner and the food is so good and affordable compared to Al on the newer brunch/breakfast places we go to. My kids love getting a Mickey pancake! I love their biscuits and gravy, burgers, bacon, and their skillet meals! I've never ordered something here that I don't love. Plus, the affordability makes it a great place to take kids and be able to actually eat out as a family of 5. The staff is always so kind and understanding of the chaos 3 little kids bring to the table (literally) and are so helpful. Seriously, this place is such a local gem. read more

Great food. Great service. Inexpensive! It was a tough decision as there were lots of good things on the menu. Perfect sunny side up eggs and big fluffy pancakes! read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Best. Hash browns. Ever! We came here due to local and it looked like a great breakfast spot. Right when we walked up you could see all the waitresses having conversations with all the regulars here. Everyone was so nice and just on top of everything! The menu has choices for everyone and is priced very fair. I ordered the Popeye omelette and my fiancé ordered the Arch Skillet. The food was so good but the hash browns were absolutely AMAZING! The flavor was top notch. The cook on them was absolutely perfect. I will be coming back here for the service and food but the hash browns are the best hash browns I've ever had! I asked the waitress if they made them a special way and she said "no, but next time you should try the fries!" Well I will be back again and again but it will be the tough decision between breakfast or lunch! read more

I had visited this place for the first time recently. I ordered and the waitress was hostile only towards my table. I got my food and it was super delicious. The waitress once again was hostile and took my plate of pancakes even though I wasn't finished. She took my fork away and I couldn't finish eating my eggs or bacon. She really made my experience terrible. Besides the hostile waitress, the food was amazing, the cafe itself was nice and was a good environment. read more

Excellent service. Delicious food. Very homey feel. Love to help local businesses. Our server told us many customers come in daily.

The skillets are unbeatable and unbelievable. They can also feed a small family for a week. Even the plain old pancakes are fantastic!

Food is good and cheap but the servers are only friendly to the regulars, doesn't make me want to come back. Feel like every time I did anything they were staring me down, weird vibes. read more

I got the Farm Fresh Eggs. I chose 2 scrambled eggs, 3 sausage links, hash browns, and 2 wheat toast. The eggs were cooked nicely. Their sausage links had to much sodium. What am I saying but it was noticeable to me. The hash browns needed another minute on the grill. Cozy little cafe that's showing its age. Service was ok. Street parking in front of the cafe and a parking lot 30 yards south of cafe. read more

I had the cheeseburger. It was so delicious! Our server was awesome! Everything was great!!

We continue to have good experiences here. My wife enjoyed the German omelet, and I enjoyed the Boardwalk Special omelet. With the hash browns and toast and 3-egg omelet, we saved half our omelet, and got another meal out of it. It's nice being able to eat outside. We got great service from Ashley, like before. I'd like to try the Cobb Salad sometime, but it's hard not to order from the breakfast part of the menu. read more

Best little greasy spoon in St. Louis. Fight me. Don't get to come here nearly as often as I'd like, if it were around the corner from me, it'd probably be a weekly visit. Never had bad service. Great staff. Reminds me of one of those old timey breakfast places you don't see to much anymore. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious little place that is unassuming and definitely a gem. After being at a kids soccer game early we wanted to grab breakfast. The places nearby had crazy long waits for our party of 8. I found this place on yelp and called to check on the wait- we were quoted around 20 min and no call ahead. I wasn't familiar with it at all but sounded good and reasonable wait so we headed there from about 5 min away. First of all o drove past it, even with maps telling me where to go. It is on the corner of the old orchard plaza and I never would have noticed it. Walked in to a small place with about 15 tables and a few wait staff working their butts off. No hostess here- just a notebook that you write your name down and number in your party. As a table becomes available they go down the list. We had a larger party so we needed to wait for one of their bigger tables, but it didn't take too long- probably right around the 20 min quoted. We got seated and had a lovely blond waitress- I can't remember her name- but she was so nice and attentive while clearly being very busy. All of food was great. The fever Denver omelet was delish, great pancakes, breakfast quesadilla top notch, steak egg and cheese bagel quite tasty, etc. I loved the really crispy hash browns- thin and pressed on the grill with the perfect blend of crunch and soft potato. We will def be back. (Side note: our neighboring table had a double cheeseburger come out and we were all drooling- it looked fabulous. read more

The service is excellent, with attentive staff. The ambience is that of a small hometown diner that seats about 30 people or so. The food is ok, though not something that excites me. I will give it a try another time and add photos when I go back as it was very crowded with about a 30-45 minute wait. read more

Our first time there, we had a group of 9. It's a tiny place for our group, but they did accommodate us. My family was in town for Thanksgiving. The food was great! The servers were working hard, since there were only two of them. What my wife didn't know that they would charge for substitutions per her omelette. We would definitely come again. read more

This is the classic diner experience you are looking for. Great diner food at an affordable price. The inside is relatively small and unassuming, but reminds you of the late-night diner vibes you are used to. Service is excellent and you are never left waiting long. Open for breakfast and lunch, you can't go wrong with the hungry man breakfast that has some of the best B&G in St. Louis! This is exactly what you want from a breakfast diner experience and one of the few locations left in STL to get it! read more

This is an alright little cafe. We stopped in for breakfast and the pancakes were good. The avocado toast was really cold which would have been fine for guac but with a poached egg the avocado needs to be room temp. The burger was ok. We probably won't be back. read more

What a great hidden gem! Went here because someone we know started working here and left with a new favorite place to go! Big servings of great food (extra large eggs!) and great people working! My coffee cup stayed full and the kitchen was quick to get our food out! read more

Affordable comfort food. When you walk into the Cafe you are asked to place your name down on a sheet of paper attached to clipboard. If there's a line.. it's worth the wait. This isn't one of those places in which you will be blown away by how fantastic the food is, so don't expect that. Expect consistency and huge portions of comfort food. I can almost guarantee that you will leave with leftovers. Even better, the check that you will receive at the end of your meal will make you think that your server missed a few items. They didn't. It's just that affordable. Service is always reliable. However, I'm sure going to miss Jesse. I digress. Let's talk about my favorite choices: In the words of Ron Swanson, "why would anyone eat anything other than breakfast food" 1. Hot chocolate (don't pass of the whip cream) 2. Any skillet on the menu 3. Farmers breakfast 4. Country fried stake and eggs 5. Corn beef hash (this will be under the eggs option) Best of luck. Bring your A game and an empty stomach. read more

My friend likes this place to we stopped today. I got pancakes & ask for honey. They said they didn't have any. I was surprised with Roger's market across the street where they could buy some until their shipment came in. That would be good customer service, as I can't be the only person asking for honey. Friend got the gravey, eggs & bacon. Remember even though you have a great business, you can always make it better, with the little things. It a solid place to eat & quality food. read more

Excellent, classic midwest-style diner atmosphere and food. Frequently very busy but the staff are welcoming and friendly.

We go weekly. The kind of place that remembers your name, your family, your order. Tons of delicious food for cheap. Ambiance is great if you like the old school ish brunch coffee and eggs feel. We won't stop going. read more

Food was good, service was mediocre. Why do waiters/waitresses ignore you then bring the bill and ask if you need anything???Customers should not have to ask for straws, silverware or refills on drinks numerous times. Especially when the place was more than half empty. read more

This place used to be excellent when I went here 4 years ago. Stopped by to get a great meal, but big black hair in food:( I understand mistakes but the food was also low quality... Carrie was a great server and apologized, but definitely not what it used to be. read more
