If you are a pancake lover, then you NEED to check out this Tower Grove South restaurant with the BEST PANCAKES in all of St. Louis! Grand Pied has my vote for best pancakes EVER! They are slightly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and are covered in butter. They are topped with jam, syrup & whipped cream! Grand Pied is serving up classic American & New Orleans favorites like gumbo over grits, dirty fries, and beignettes. They have huge steak frites, too. The French onion soup is another MUST ORDER dish! NOTES: -The restaurant isn't huge. Parties over 4 people will be separated. -If there's a wait, they'll take your # and text when you table is available. Or, join the online wait list before leaving your house. -They don't serve alcohol, but you can BYOB! No corkage fees! Bring a bottle of bubbles and order OJ from them for your own mimosas!
Tony and his team make EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH!! Amazing food! The best pancake you will ever have in the world!! Really the world!! My favorites are... the amazing goat cheese omelette! The fried chicken thighs with his homemade buttermilk dressing! You will be pressed to find better grits anywhere in St. Louis and look for gumbo on special days. And don't forget the great burger and the debris gravy cause it is amazing and basically the whole menu is worth going through. I give this place a 10! oh yeah and BYOB how does it get any better than this.
*new brunch spot unlocked* We always talk about ambience, quality of food, and the people when evaluating a restaurant. This place is as close to perfection as it gets. First and foremost: BYOB, count me in! I brought a batch of carajillos and went to work. The food was amazing. The pancakes have a nice crust. They're thick, fluffy, and have nice crispy edges. A truly unique pancake in the best of ways. The chicken sandwich gets applause as well. The chicken was super crispy with a wonderful, fluffy homemade bun. The slaw, pickles and sauce all meld perfectly with the hot honey. I also got one of their chai lattes which was wonderful. Super rich with the brown sugar. The service was great. You order with a qr code, but they have plenty of floaters perusing to help with any needs you may have. Absolutely loved, loved, loved my experience at grand pied.
Still the best pancakes in the city. You wouldn't think so, but this a family fav for going with our 5yo. It's cramped but if you get your kid to sit, it's a good family dining experience, this is especially the case when weather allows outdoor seating. I love restaurants that I never have to worry that the food quality varies, they are always serving delicious, high quality food. Another thing that's never a worry is the experience with servers. They are always the kindest, friendliest folks working here. They might forget to refill water for a sec, but they'll make their way over.
I was very surprised at how good the line cook delight was! Never would I have paired chili with grits ** chefs kiss** Next time I'll trying the fried chicken salad. This was my first choice but I opted for a heavier meal. Recommend coming here for a casual comfort meal. & BYOB!
Had a blast! My first time here and the food was delicious. The wait wasn't too long and we went down the street for some coffee beforehand. You order on your phone and the food comes out promptly. The vibes were great and it's a small spot but they do a good job of turning tables over quickly !
First time here and discovered them on social media. With being out of town I had no idea about them, but also found they had strong reviews. As it turns out I understand why after a great experience. I booked a reservation on a weekend for three. The timing was accurate upon arrival and we were seated inside. There is also a side patio. Customers use a QR Code to review the menu offerings. Service was a bit inconsistent, but super friendly. They were packed for weekend brunch, so grace given. Drinks were placed on the table and orders taken. The interior vibe is super cool. Lots of vintage decor in the old building with wood floors. A lot of character. Needless to say I absolutely adored the atmosphere. It's a bit loud, but tolerable. Food arrived around 15 minutes or so. My Super Slinger was exactly as described with potatoes, ground beef chili and egg. It was filling and delicious. My son had the mammoth Dirty Burger which he thought was great. My son's friend had the Pork & Cheddar Omelette which she liked. Checkout was smooth. 4.5, but rounding down with a few service hiccups. I would love to return at a less busy time. Keep in mind parking is off street only.
This food was AMAAAZING! That Breakfast Frito Pie was just fantastic! The flavors, the textures....! No decaf here which I don't think is a huge ask. There wasn't a lot of service, as you ordered on your phone. Not a problem, kinda smart actually. My issue is that when you pay, the default tip amount is 20%. So if you miss it, you're giving a 20% tip for almost NO service. Bad on them for that. A default tip of 5 - 10% is much more reasonable.
Overall, this place has good food for brunch! My only holdback is that it's a bit tight WAIT TIME: Definitely try to join the waitlist before coming if you can, it's a small space so we had to wait for a little bit to be seated. But considering we come for Sunday brunch we didn't wait that long (20 mins). FOOD: We split the ham eggs and potatoes plate, and the pancakes. Personally I LOVED the pancakes! They were much thicker and very different than others I've had before; kind of reminded me of funnel cake dough. The potatoes were also so yummy and the country ham was very solid. The food was really good all around! SERVICE: It's a QR code ordering system which makes it really easy to order! I really appreciate that they have pictures of their dishes as part of it too. DECOR: I liked that the cutlery was all mismatched, like it had all been thrifted or something! Very quirky and cute PRICE: Decently priced for a brunch place. Unlimited coffee was only $3 and each dish was around $15
Small, intimate feeling restaurant in the Tower Grove area. Seating is 4 to a table. Service was accommodating, courteous and attentive. Orders taken and paid for on line and proved to be efficient and served in a reasonable amount of time. My omelet of goat cheese was tasty. Served with a deliciously dressed salad , an eye-appealing presentation. Prices reasonable. You will not be disappointed in this little jewel.
