23 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Kirkwood

“Aug 11 about 9:30 am. What a wonderful brunch spot. It’s between two sections of a shopping center and at a hair raising intersection but the breezeway was perfect on a summer day. Friendly staff, interesting menu, and a quick correction to an erroneously executed special request. We all ordered a different dish but all 5 of us were happy with the presentation and flavor. And no side-eye for lingering. Wish I didn’t live 300 miles away-I’d definitely come back!!!“

“The food was phenomenal, and the service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be returning!“

“Great food first time at the Shack. Need to have a Shack in Edwardsville Illinois“

“We totally enjoyed our experience! Our server Alfie was great! Jacob his assistant was just as great! The food came out so quickly. We had appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Filets both cooked perfectly. Espresso martini hit the spot. The old fashioned had so much flavor. Will be back again. Also gave us complimentary champagne because we mentioned celebrating our anniversary! How sweet!“

“Great Classic Diner. If you are looking for a fine dining experience, with fancy table cloths, monogrammed silverware, and Dom Perignon, this ain't it. What you will find here, in this "Small Town, Mom & Pop Style Diner", is Great Food, Good Prices, Great Friendly Service, in a clean and welcoming environment. This is a "Watch Them Cook It" Short Order diner, right out of the 1970's. The kind of place where the wait staff recognize the regulars and call them by name, and everyone else is a "Regular Customer" in the making. The food is Bacon Friendly, and deliciously filling, the Pies are Awesome! Parking can be tricky because it is a "Hole in the Wall" kinda joint in the middle of a strip mall. Seating is cozy inside, classic square diner style tables, in a narrow row, and seating at the bar where you can watch them cook your meal. Seating Capacity was about 20-25 total. Cool decor, lots of kitsch, and while we were there, (on our 2nd visit), one of the "Regulars" pulled up in a Classic Bugatti Race Car. We were on a "Cross Country," Motorcycle Trip, (we stopped both ways), and geared up in Biker Gear, and they treated us like kings. You would call this, "Eclectic" except for the fact that this is how "Diners" used to look everywhere, and all the time. I loved it, I highly recommend it. But if you are looking for the Big Box "Chain Breakfast Joint." This is not going to fill the bill. Great for a small family vacation meal, but not for the High School Basketball team on a field trip. Get the Raspberry Cream Pie, and something with Bacon, you won't regret it!“

“Great service, great food! Clean, very friendly.“

“Excellent! Food, beverages and service are perfect each visit. Teya is an especially fantastic server with great suggestions and a talent for predicting your needs. One meal always feeds me twice, and the ingredients are delightfully fresh! All staff is helpful, opening doors or bringing extra napkins. My favorite brunch restaurant!“

“Well-made, diner style food. Great pancakes, hash browns, corned beef hash, biscuits & gravy, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Amazing server, I wish I remembered his name. He's like a mind-reader!“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“This was my first time eating here. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Just an all around wonderful experience!“

“Valley Park MO location was very accommodating to a party of almost 30 outside. We were in the covered patio area, perfect for a small youth sports group. Waitresses were organized, food was fast and delicious. Highly recommend.“

“When people ask why I go to Waffle house I say Josh. When people ask why I live my life I say Josh. This man does everything around here. He is the main figurehead for Waffle house. He is a very Jolly man (not referring Santa Clause). Waffle was very delicious. He will serve your food fast and make you happy in every way! He has a very nice trimmed beard. Thank you Josh for the extravagant experience!“

“The worker “Princess” was amazing!!! She really did a wonderful job with keeping everything together. Amazing personality, very sweet, and made sure to check on everyone even when they were extra busy. If I come back the 3.5 hours I will be stopping by here again just to see her!!“

“Stopped for breakfast after a 5 hr drive. Good food and service!“

“We stopped at the Waffle House on Dorsett Rd. in Maryland Heights this morning on 9/19/23. We had a delicious breakfast & our waitress, Olivia, was outstanding! Best customer service given. This may be our new favorite place instead of a popular breakfast place on hwy 94 in St. Charles, we frequently visit.“

“Great service, food was great, and the portions were good.“

“We haven’t had this good of an experience at Waffle House in a while. Every other time was good but this time was perfect. Our server Deaire was the sweetest and very attentive, and quick. The food was perfect. Everyone was working hard. We will be back!“
