First ever visit to this place, which i must have walked or driven passed a thousand times. It's got a great atmosphere, and style, without the painfully obvious attempt to create style that some places have.
Overall, first impressions were good, although the staff aren't the friendliest, a bit cool, although they seemed to know their regulars well.
My breakfast was fine, not sure I'd go much further than that, really nice thick toast and good quality bacon, but poached eggs that were well past the 'runny' stage, which is always something I think a restaurant should have down to a tee -

I've been to St. Louis a few times now and I always enjoy it. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable.
This time I ordered a breakfast roll with scrambled eggs and a side of vegetarian haggis. The eggs were perfect, not too runny or overcooked.
The waiter misheard my order and when they brought something different than I expected they were more than happy to take it back and make what I originally wanted.
I recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Also they are dog friendly. -

Feel kinda bad only giving St Louis three stars as I'm in here a lot, but I just don't quite get it.
My girlfriend loves the place so I get ask to go a lot and I oblige, but this isn't somewhere I would come with friends or on my own.
It has a bar, so it's like a little boozer, it has table service (of sorts) it's like a bar, bistro, cafe type place.
The service can be weird at times, sat down before and nobody comes anywhere near you till you approach the bar. At other times they ask you if you're in for drinks or food when you first walk in. What I'm trying to say is they are not very consistent.
The food is ok, nothing really to write home about, burgers, pastas, stews, nachos, salads. I've eaten a few times and have never been blown away.
Last night I tried their vegetable gumbo for the first time, whole thing tasted of sorrel which made the whole thing a tad acidic, the tomatoes could have done with a pinch of sugar, that would have helped. The garlic bread that was served with it was extremely bland, people need to hit the garlic button, too many places don't go for it with garlic bread. Recently had garlic rye bread in Berlin and it was like being hit in the tongue with garlic bulbs (that's a good thing)
St Louis has a really decent beer selection, Williams bros lager and Joker IPA on tap. As well as every William's bottle you can think of. Wine list is also far from shabby.
They get a real mix of clientele, oldies, young uns, inbetweeners like me, people drinking, eating, battering into cakes and pastries.
Friday and Saturdays they have live music which isn't intrusive and you can still hear your dining, drinking partner.
I'm sure I'll be back as I said girlfriend loves it and it's very close to my flat. But as I'm moving soon I can't see myself going out of my way, certainly not for the food.
Wish I liked you more ST Louis, they have all the makings to be a great wee... whatever they are.
Try it out yourself and see what you think. -

A local favorite of mine! I care for the Big Breakfast option as I usually come hungry but the waffles are a new favorite. Taste hits the spot with everything I have ordered as well. There is a great selection of coffee options (I normally get black coffee or a cappuccino) as well as beer on tap, bottled Cidre, and an array of adult beverages to choose from.
Great service and accommodates dogs. There is always a water bowl brought for my two dogs along with a smile. Decent prices on the menu to boot.
Would definitely recommend stopping by for a quick bite or a pint. -

I've been to the St Louis many a time but mostly at weekends when they have had music on.
As I was on the area I called in for late lunch / dinner, there wasn't a lot of items that l liked on the menu as they only had limited choice, in the end I chose their Cajun chicken burger served with salsa & sweet chilli Mayo.
When the food came out it actually looked pretty good, at £9.95 you do expect something half decent.
The good things where the frozen French fries they where tasty, but you can't really go wrong with that.
Chicken on the burger was tasty but served warm.
The bad things where, the bun was stale, believe me I've seen plenty in my time and with over 25 years working in the food trade (I know).
Coleslaw that was served on the side looked as it had been lying out All Day as the mayonnaise looked transparent.
I suppose the food was ok but £9.95 is very expensive for chicken & chips when there is a chippy just down the road.
I would come back again but certainly not for the food.
