    Deviled eggs were so good...the candied bacon was the perfect topper
    Jessica H.

    After the rain drenched our plans to go to the Lindenwood football game we came to The Midwestern to watch it with some drinks and food. It was the perfect spot. Great service, good drinks, delish food, and good prices. We ordered a variety of foods for our table...deviled eggs, chicken tendies and fries, kettle cooked chips with homemade French onion dip, a Cobb salad wrap with corn ribs, and a pretzel with cheese...it was all so good!! Our waitress, Emily, was on top of things and kept our drinks filled with a smile. We are already planning on going back after the game next weekend.

    Super yummy food. They had a decent variety of options. The sprouts were roasted and absolutely delicious. Was healthy and filling. One of the best meals I've had in the St Louis area.

    Stopped in during the day for happy hour (11-6 during the weekdays!) and J was our bartender. She was great! Played great music, the deviled eggs were delicious and drinks were excellent. There was a live band setting up before we left. What a cute place and vibe. Can't wait to come back!

    Deviled eggs are amazing!!

    Phenomenal! My good friend Cindy and I drove along Riverside Drive looking for a nice patio or deck to have brunch. We stumbled upon The Midwestern Main Street, grabbed the last parking spot and went in to check it out. The placard out front advertised the brunch specials that had us excited to go in. We were greeted right away and taken to the back deck overlooking the river on this beautiful sunny Saturday. As we were walking back, we passed the teeny tiny little kitchen just as the chef put up the most amazing looking chicken and waffles I've seen in a while. The chicken looked perfectly fried, crunchy and glistening with hot honey on a fluffy Belgian waffle. I thought that was what I was going to order until I saw the Southern Benedict on the menu. The same crunchy fried chicken on top of a biscuit and served with sausage gravy, buffalo sauce and breakfast potatoes. Yes, please! I asked for the chicken to be drizzled with the hot honey and that was the right move - it was so savory and delicious , I ate entire thing. LOL! I don't normally eat hashbrowns or breakfast potatoes, but these breakfast potatoes were really really good. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside topped with flaky salt. Definitely worth getting ...nothing is an afterthought here, everything is made with care. I almost forgot to mention, for starters we had the deviled eggs and they were topped with candied bacon. These were absolutely amazing and I will get them every single time. We are really looking forward to coming back and trying the smash burgers which are on special from 2 to 5 PM. I think we're going back tomorrow night! :) I can already tell you this is going to be a regular on my rotation for brunch and lunch and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. I know my son and fiancé are going to love this place as well . This small kitchen is pumping out some superior pub grub. Congrats to the Chef and welcome to St. Charles! We're so happy you're here.

    Absolutely loved our breakfast here! My husband and I sat on the patio overlooking the river, and…read morethe view alone made it worth the visit! So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

    What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area!…read more It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!

    I pretty much have to give five stars simply by virtue of this place being open 24 hours. The only…read moreother place you can go for 24 hour dining is waffle house, and you won't always necessarily want to eat waffles at 2 am. Gingham's offers breakfast too, but also pretty much everything else, as they have a pretty extensive lunch/dinner menu. I actually kind of think they should consider reducing the size of their menu. It's not possible that every single one of these dishes is good; it would be a smart move to decrease the scale a little bit in order to increase the quality. no way line cooks can execute everything on the menu perfectly that said, i was pretty happy with my experience here. i got the salmon, which came with a biscuit, and the sides i got were corn, carrots, fried okra. my main issue with my food was that the carrots were sweet, which i wasn't a fan of, but everything else was great, including the salmon the price is okay. to be honest it's a good deal for a 24 hour restaurant. you have to pay higher prices at a 24 hour restaurant because they have more overhead from running electricity, insurance, labor, compared to other restaurants, by basically double. with that in mind i thought it was reasonable would come back

I'd suggest that people were there to visit downtown St. Charles, or whatever it's called, which has a certain old-timey charm to it, but everything else was closed--presumably until later in the day, but who knows. That fentanyl is a menace. Parking could be a pain, if it's not the wee hours of the morning on a weekend, and you're not ambulatory enough to walk from a block or two over, and yet you're going to get essentially the equivalent of a milkshake and a donut. Inside is rustic, inviting and larger than you'd think, with an upstairs area that I didn't bother to explore, due to lack of curiosity. We had a larger group and ended up pushing a few smaller tables together, plus a few chairs we borrowed from other tables. No one seemed to mind. The key is not to ask first. That mentality will take you far in both the world of finance and dating. I'm kind of over ordering food from coffee shops, where they're obviously just throwing something in the microwave and charging you $10 for it, but I needed something to eat. I'd just gone for a run. Their burrito looked like the textbook definition of cultural appropriation, but it also looked like it might not be half bad. I had their equivalent of an Egg McMuffin, called Ron's Breakfast Sandwich, or something to that effect. When I hear the name Ron, I of course think of Sasso from Carlito's Way, but that probably says more about me than anything else. I'm assuming he didn't have anything to do with this. Essentially, this was a store-bought English muffin, a surprisingly generous and delicious helping of cheddar cheese, a few slices of seemingly prepackaged black forest ham and a fried egg. It was fine for what it was. Could the egg have been salted, could the muffin have been buttered and could the ham been an actual slice of Canadian bacon, or even better, American bacon? Sure, but I went into this with low expectations. The cheddar was melty and delicious, and weirdly abundant, but processed American cheese would have been more fitting for this kind of sandwich. You'd think a guy named Ron wouldn't object to processed foods. The caramel frappe I had was amazing. I got it with whole milk and whipped cream. I didn't bother to check and see if they charge you extra for whipped cream, which is the kind of crap some of these places have been known to pull. I got the 16 oz instead of the 20 oz, but it was probably still enough to take a day off the end of my life (when I don't need it as much anyway fwiw). Sometimes, when a food item tastes good enough, you can just tell it's not good for you, and that was the case with this drink. It was decidedly rich. I'm never in this part of town, and if I were, it would be at night, natch, but if things ever get to the point where they're clearly trending in that direction, I might start stopping by on the reg and getting that caramel frappe just to speed along the process of my demise.
