Best Breakfast in St. Louis
“Absolutely the best breakfast in St Louis!!!”
“Omg!!! Hands down THE BEST place we ate at while in St Louis!!! Would just about drive the 4 hrs back to eat here again, that’s how good it was! Place was nice and clean! Staff was great! Our server was Jess, and she was the best!! We sampled several dishes to share between us. We had French toast, biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, hash browns, a breakfast sandwich and fresh fruit!!!

“Holy JACKPOT!”
“Holy JACKPOT!
Flying back to Orlando mid day, wanted something unique to St. Louis and the great reviews on this place did not disappoint!
Sat at the bar and immediately saw plates of food that looked like they were out of a commercial! I could see the kitchen team laying the smack down with a system that is on point every step of the way!
I asked for a special order of a biscuit, chicken fried chicken, two eggs over medium and gravy with a side of grits. Wifey did the corn beef hash. I can’t stand when food comes flying out and this was well worth the reasonable wait! The prices are also super fair!
Get after this place, also helped to get here early, it’s popular for a reason! Staff made the magic happen treating us like fam!”
– Ben
“The best omelette she’s had.”
“The other reviews are correct about this being an excellent place to eat! The staff was friendly and we were seated quickly.
Good coffee was followed with our orders very fast. I had the breakfast fried rice and it was delicious! My wife had the farmer’s omelette which she said was the best omelette she’s had. My son loved the waffle that he got.”
– Bill
“The pancakes were incredible.”
“We just happened upon this place looking for a different diner. That was closed! Soon as we walked in the atmosphere was popping with good smells and food conversations! My son claims the best eggs he’s ever had! The pancakes were incredible! The service was wonderful! We’re going to make this a regular thing now! So glad we stopped! 5 Star Service”

“We will absolutely dine here again next time we are in town.”
“We enjoyed breakfast here while staying downtown. They quoted us 45 minutes for a table of 4. They had us seated in 20ish minutes. The food was delicious and you got more than a normal belly should have and was incredibly affordable. My husband ordered the ham and it was bigger than his head. I ordered the breakfast plate with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and pancakes. We will absolutely dine here again next time we are in town.”

“The food was great.”
“From the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The service was kind and attentive. Make sure you give yourself some time as there may be a wait. The food was great. I had corned beef hash eggs and gluten free pancakes. I’m happy to have found a place with fluffy butter gluten free pancakes. I give them a 10/10. My partner had the HK burrito style which he found very filling and delicious. I also had a dirty chai which was nice and smooth. They have bottles of champagne for less than $30 with your choice of juice. Overall, I would visit again.”

Exceptional Service at Chris’ @ the Docket
“Amy, the busser and the manager, everybody was pleasant and helpful.”
“Amazing. The chicken fried chicken was seasoned to perfection, didn’t need anything else, but it was served with gravy that turned out to be turkey sausage gravy, not the usual pork. Great for those like me who don’t eat pork.
The service was super. From the time I entered to my waitress Amy, the busser and the manager that happened by my table, everybody was pleasant and helpful. It was great being around happy people in this city.
I’ll definitely be back!”
