The service was friendly and my order was accurate. The restaurant was very clean and they had several gender neutral bathrooms. They have an outdoor deck in the sun or you can choose the main dining area indoors with couches, table and chairs or half booth bench seating. It is inviting to stay awhile. There is a decent selection of coffee drinks and they have a fridge full of canned soda, water, etc. They have gluten-free products and some grab-and-go items. They also have salads, sandwiches and soups. My Santorini salad was very fresh with Kalamata olives and a honey dressing. Get extra dressing on the side because you will want more. They have an event space available for rent with big windows. It looks perfect for a shower or birthday party.

We stopped here for breakfast about 9am on Friday 10/13. No wait. There are about 14 tables in…read morethere. The menu is relatively small with the normal offerings. I had a Belgian waffle and a side of country ham while my husband had the all meat omelet. The server was attentive, keeping our coffees filled and the food didn't take too long. The butter and syrup were in the little plastic containers but the cream for my coffee was real. My waffle was warm enough that the butter melted. The slice of ham was big enough I used a piece of my husband's toast to make a sandwich. He said his omelet was good. Sometimes in a little place like this out-of-towners can get skimpy service but we felt at home. We'd definitely stop by again when in the area. Check out the goldfish tank inside an old stove.

The ambiance of the cafe was nice not overly decorated…read more Service was fair. I ordered a Classic Mini breakfast which I thought was 2 eggs, 1 bacon , and a slice of toast. The instructions was to have the eggs over medium no white to be runny, and lightly toasted white bread. I received 2 eggs over easy which the whites were runny and the toast was not lightly toasted. I did not send it back because it would have taken longer than the amount of time I already had waited. I believe there are 10 tables in the cafe and a counter for at least four people to seat. There were two servers and I could see one grill person. I am on a fixed income now and I thought since the menu stated $4.25 for my breakfast I would probably pay $5.00 with taxes. It was not the case. This is my fourth time visiting the cafe. I'm going to possibly try the lunch and see how it goes. So far I haven't really had a great experience. I'm just stating my opinion. Go check this cafe out during the hours of 5:30am- 1:30pm and see what you think.

I recently dined at The Native, and my experience was incredibly disappointing. From the moment we…read morewere seated, it was clear that service was not a priority. Our order took an absurdly long time to arrive, leaving us waiting for what felt like an eternity. To make matters worse, the waitstaff was incredibly slow in bringing our drinks. We had to remind them multiple times, and even then, it seemed like an afterthought. The food, when it finally arrived, was awful I had their fish and it made me sick it was tilapia, and it was not done right at alll. Overall, the service at The Native was abysmal, and I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a timely and pleasant dining experience. Avoid The Native if you value your time and expect decent service. And our waitress was rude and had a bad attitude

Wow. Glad we did a search and found the Riverside Grill -- we all loved our lunch. It was clearly a…read morelocals place (off major highways and all) and the food is freshly made in-house which is so uncommon now. I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!

Food was pretty decent , table was clean and it had a diner vibe…read more Service was not very good tbh , place wasn't crowded when I came in only a few customers, took a bit before the waitress brought me a menu took awhile more before she came and took my order. She didn't bother checking on me for coffee refill ect I got tired of waiting to pay and walked up to counter to see if I could pay and leave. Had to wait for her and the cook till they finished arguing with another patron about a sandwich wrap. Took a few more minutes to get her to ring me up. The cook seemed irritated and told the lady "I'll remake it" If it was me seeing how annoyed he was I wouldn't eat that wrap. I won't be going back , my omelet was decent and would rate a 4 star but the service was horrible. Waitress seemed more inclined to gab with other staff or checking her phone than tending to customers.

Stop in and get it to go or sit down and enjoy. They brew Kaldi's coffee (one of my favorite coffee roasters who are also STL local). Get a coffee, latte, cappuccino, frappe, smoothie, or any number of their specialty drinks. Or you can create your own concoction choosing from a large selection of flavors with many having a sugar free option. Or just get the drink of the day in any style. They also offer bagels with a selection of house made flavored cream cheese spread.
