Melissa MiddletonJuly 28, 2016My husband, 10 yrold son & I were excited about trying it. Parking was a little hard to find, the line was long but wow was it worth it! Atmosphere for brunch😍!! Food was wonderful. Loved the area!!!
Cristina LiberatoreApril 1, 2015The Strawberry Poppy Seed salad is to die for! Absolutely delicious food and great atmosphere....inside and outside. Perfect location in Benton Park too.
Riverfront TimesOctober 7, 2013Voted Best Breakfast with a Hangover in RFT's Best of STL 2013. Order the "BP Slinger" along with a bloody mary or a mimosa. The bartenders are not stingy. Trust us.
- Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014Their signature booze smoothies, or Boozies, complement the drink menu packed with beer, fountain soda and the house specialty: coffee cocktails. Read more
Love this place. The sandwiches and breakfast are awesome. Gets really crowded on the weekends, but since they expanded, it isn't a huge problem. The cucumber water makes me feel like a fancy lady.
Em DaggsJune 6, 2015Fabulous food and coffee. Pick up a bag of Chauvin while you're there - best STL roast! Great service. Tends to be packed, but worth it!
24 Hour Food GeekFebruary 22, 2015Try the Bp Slinger - BP slinger - beer biscuits, American cheese, bacon, over easy eggs (these are poached), smothered sausage gravy. Benton park cafe. (via @Foodspotting)- DoraApril 15, 2016BP Slinger is so great! Got mine with scrambled eggs instead of overeasy. Benton park mocha was also great!! Great breakfast!
Leigh HigginsSeptember 23, 2015I wish I could remember our server's name. My friend and I are in the service industry and we are a pain in the ass to serve, and he was so accommodating and catered to every annoying requests.- 24 Hour Food GeekNovember 24, 2013Try the Ultimate Eggs Benedict - Ultimate eggs Benedict - English muffin, poached eggs, avocado, spinach, bacon, and hollandaise. Served with potatoes. Benton park cafe.
Go! MagazineJuly 5, 2012This spot extended its weekend hours to ’round-the-clock in 2010. Its dinerlike menu leans heavily on breakfast items, but sandwiches, entrees and a full bar offer choices for all. By Evan S. Benn Read more
Make sure you fall in love with the staff. Don't ever be crabby. Have a little bit of patience if the cafe is at "full-tilt" on a Sunday morning. Relax and enjoy! (there's poop spray in the bathroom!)
Dan S.September 2, 2012Worth a wait for Sunday brunch...excellent coffee and the McGrittle This is definitely worth trying. Great service as well.
KellyJuly 10, 2012The fruit and French toast is AHMAZING, just like homemade, and the cream cheese walnut cinnamon spread is to die for. :)
The Vodka Mocha Latte and Gooey Butter Cake are too die for. The berry smoothie is also good.
French toast with maple butter turkey sausage and potatoes with southwest sauce the BEST!
Kevin ThompsonSeptember 21, 2014Decided to go here based on the reviews. Food was decent, but not great. Potatoes are hash Brown with garlic in a scoop. It's good but not great. The pancakes were huge! The were good but not great.
The ooey gooey butter cake leads to an ooey gooey butt cake...but still worth it.
Anya PratskevichDecember 30, 2013The staff is super friendly, nice music selection, the food is okay, but the wait! 20 minutes at the door and another 30 waiting for the order. Don't come hungry!
Gloria ChinFebruary 24, 2014come for breakfast! get the breakfast pizza, bp slinger & ultimate benedict
Patrice YursikDecember 1, 2013They call this the BP Slinger. Beer biscuits, bacon, eggs over easy, sausage gravy, breakfast potatoes. Uh huh honey
EmilyJuly 3, 2012Good place to eat. The mango smoothie was really good! And the food was ready really fast!
Try the loaded potatoes...its a great job!
California burrito = amazing! Great choice for vegetarians. And the pancakes are out of this world!
Harrison RobertsJanuary 3, 2012The Chairman of the Board and the Hoofer are the two best breakfast items. Anywhere!
Rachel WilkoszOctober 6, 2011The baileys mocha mint coffee is awesome hot or cold! Veggie sandwich is awesome too!
Get the bblt and have them throw a fried egg on it...oooofffaaa
Jeanine SmithSeptember 2, 2011Must eat breakfeast pizza!!! Build your own! Also four berry boozy rocks!
David EsratiJanuary 17, 2011Calling the pancakes "pan" cakes is a stretch. They are more like the size of my scooter wheel. Very tasty.
Chris WAugust 10, 2015The past three times I've ordered the Ultimate Eggs Benidict and each time they were over cooked. That leads me to believe they don't know what they are doing. This time, the sauce was cold..
- Michael HughesMay 10, 2010Eat the beef tip melt. It is the bomb! If you are there for breakfast, the breakfast pizza is always a hit.
