Honey Bee's up the street from Spencer's Grill bought it and reopened it after a short closure. Spencer's was always a favorite breakfast place in Kirkwood and its popularity continues.
A diner breakfast for me always hits the spot. This was my first visit since the switch of ownership and I am glad to say, it is still a quality breakfast at a good price. I went with Breakfast #7. Which is two eggs, meat of choice and one biscuit with gravy. My scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy and the sausage patties had a peppery taste. Of course the main attraction of the breakfast was the biscuit and gravy. It simply was delicious.
Sitting at the counter at the end closest to the grill was like watching a show of the Food Network. I was amazed at how fast and organized the two short-order cooks worked. Seeing them prepare pancakes and crispy hash browns, made me wish I had gone hog wild and ordered them, too. I'll have to give them a try on the next visit.
My visit was a Saturday morning and there was people waiting for booths and multiple stools together at the counter when I arrived and when I left. Being a single diner, I lucked out and got a seat immediately. If you are dining with friends you may have to wait, so bring your patience.
The service is good and attentive. It's as if Alice and Mel are taking care of you. I didn't see a Flo or Vera.

First time here and our experience did not match the high reviews. We waited over an hour for our order and saw 2 other tables that arrived after us dine, pay and leave before our food arrived. Spent nearly 2 hours here for a table of 3. Maybe it was an off day for the staff or they were not anticipating a busy Monday due to the holiday. We were so excited to go to an authentic diner too.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. I’d be confident ordering anything on the menu.
If you don't eat here, you're missing out! My husband and I just had the Best breakfast, food and service were phenomenal. If you're a gravy fan its a 9.5 outta 10. Pumpkin pancakes were killer.... who am I kidding, every bite was so good. Can't wait for our next trip through to visit again.

A perfect breakfast. We got The Slammer. Eggs, hash browns, sausage, toast and sausage gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly. It didn't get any better.

They're back!! New owners re-opened 11/8/24. I've been several times. Food is still GREAT, and the best news is they've got Nick back on the grill! So the hashbowns are still the best anywhere. If you loved them before, you'll love them again..!
