11 Best Breakfast Restaurants near St. Charles

“This may be our new favorite breakfast restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food was wonderful. We split the Shamrock Benedict and the Carmelized Apple & Pecan Pancakes. Both were fantastic. The corned beef hash and hollandaise in the Shamrock Benedict both had unique flavors that elevated the classic versions. The pancakes were to die for - not too tart and not too sweet, and the pancakes themselves were absolutely perfect. We can't wait to come back and try other dishes.“

“My favorite breakfast place by far. The food is always amazing and the service is incredible. I got the biscuit love and the chicken was cooked perfect, the breading was crispy and flavorful, the biscuits were soft and sweet yet savory, the portions are huge and very much worth the price. I’m a big Starbucks girly and the iced mochas are phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Forever our go to spot.“

“I must relay the WONDERFUL experience I had recently at Southern Cafe. This past Saturday, I had invited various friends to lunch after a meeting. I thought about 10-12 would join. Turned out 29 responded! So here we all come around 1-1:15pm(they close at 3). SC rose to the occasion with swiftness, poise, and professionalism! EVERYONE left delighted, full, and pleased. And with bags…because of the massive portions of food!! I would like to say Southern Cafe is one of my favorites! Thank you and we WILL be seeing you again! And a shout out to Ms. Grace, our table’s waitress, who showed what it looks like to do your job skillfully and GRACEfully(no pun intended ha-ha)! She was EXCELLENT!“

“Waitress wasn't attentive. So we only left a small tip. I'm sorry but good service gets a good tip.UPDATE: Manager contacted me to come back and they definitely made it right. Impeccable customer service and our waiter was fantastic. Thank you Laura! I'm sorry I forgot the waiter's name , but he was great! Will be my go to IHOP from now on.“

“Quaint, cheerful restaurant with a cool diner vibe. The menu is vast and offers something for everyone. So many options. We opted for good old-fashioned comfort food --an apple pancake and corned beef hash. Both dishes were delicious. We could tell immediately that the corned beef hash was homemade. So good. The person who took our order was warm, welcoming and pleasant. Great experience overall and looking forward to returning soon.“

“No frills here, just really tasty food. I had the Nutella crepes with a bacon side; my wife, the chorizo skillet. We shared our meals, and the quality was consistently high across the board. This place has the feel of being small and locally owned, and the meals feel homemade.My wife and I were the first ones in at 8am on a Saturday, and that can be touch and go with service, but it was attentive and kind. It’s certainly a family-friendly atmosphere, and the menu reflects that too. All without breaking the bank.The atmosphere was good, understanding that it’s still quite new. I’m excited to see how this develops over time. This is the sort of place you can root for, and we’ll be back regularly to support them.“

“This restaurant is amazing. It’s in a hidden nook next to a vape shop. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with smiles and get a warm homey feeling. The prices for breakfast are reasonable and the food is delicious. My husband and I will be back.“

“My family likes to try different places for breakfast and this was the first time any of us have been to this restaurant. The food was delicious, the coffee was just as good, the wait staff was attentive without being smothering and overall, we collectively enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.“

“When I look for a while in the wall, this is the kind of place I picture. The booths are from an old Dairy Queen and there are Christmas decorations on the wall. The plane was clean but it felt like a 1980 DQ with a new sign.I was very skeptical when walking in and there was nobody dining in. True this was an early lunch but they serve breakfast ?The menu is 5x7 framed pics of the dishes. I was not having a good feeling at that point. But ... Trust the reviews I tell myself ? I ordered the Philly and water and my wife had fish tacos. The water was in bottles, warm. I asked for ice and they looked at me like they didn't know how to fill that request. So far, not too happy with my choice.And then came the food. OMG The Philly was amazing. It's not your traditional Philly, it tasted like skirt steak with shredded cheese melted on top. The steak was cooked perfectly. My wife's fish chicken tacos were amazing too. Now I'm happy that we stuck it out ? I think I can get past some of the negatives that I felt at the beginning because it's worth it for the food.Fyi they will charge you for using a credit card and there is no fountain machine for pop.I'm not in the area much but will probably try it again when I am.“

“Bibimbap at egg harbor. Who knew? So good. This version has bacon. Excellent server, Dawn, shared she could take a vegetarian or vegan order for next time. I needed some good cheer and egg harbor was perfect selection this morning, really any morning. I've enjoyed meals and service here many times.“

“It was our first time visiting Cinnamon Pancake House. There were SO MANY menu options that it was difficult to narrow down what we wanted to order. My husband and I were both very pleased with our choices, and felt there was a more than enough food in their portions. The fruit was very fresh, and the vegetables in my skillet were all fresh and the cheese was plentiful. Stephanie was very attentive, and the other team members continually checked to see if my husband wanted more coffee. We will definitely be back to try other options. This is a hidden gem and I would recommend them.“
