Syrup St Charles - St. Charles

Good food and portions. Server was exceptional. Atmosphere was more of an open concept layout, so lost one star for that.

Right away the first impression after walking in was that I was entering a high end breakfast spot. It was so bright clean and felt welcoming! The S’moreo and salted caramel frappes we’re gigantic and delicious. I even took half of mine home to continue enjoying. The side of greens came nicely dressed with a lemon vinaigrette with just the right balance of lemon flavor. The cluck cluck skillet could feed a family of four. This warning label is not stated in the menu but I can happily report it reheats fantastic! The chicken and sausage gravy are absolutely mouth watering. I substituted the biscuit for a Nutella banana and strawberry crepe. Wow! Seriously so delicious. I’m from Florida and will be making Syrup a must-do when I come back and visit again.

The food is absolutely delicious. They seat you immediately and manager Luis was very attentive.

The absolute best breakfast/brunch/lunch cafe that I have ever found. I brought my father and mother in law here for breakfast on a fluke. I was immediately impressed with the way we were greeted. The manager greeted us with a huge smile and quickly placed us on the waiting list. It was an early Thursday Morning and there was already a short wait to be seated. That also let me know right away that the food was really good. Our wait time was shorted than estimated. As we walked through the restaurant I noticed that there were many beautifully plated meals. The smell of vanilla flavored waffles and bacon filled the air. My stomach growled on cue. Once seated our server Petra also greeted us with a very warm smile and offered us coffee. The coffee was delicious and fresh. My father ordered a lemon aide it was made from scratch and we could see the fresh fruit and mint leaves. However, the best was yet to come. The food. The food is the best breakfast food that I have ever had, period. Better than Richard Walkers, Blueberry Hill, or any other restaurant I can name. Both of the other institutions are great, in their own right, but Syrup is even better. IJS. Syrup was so good that I brought my husband back to try it the next day and I was even more impressed the second time. Petra was our server again and I tried a different item of the menu. It was just as good. Now I am going to have to come back and try something new each time: next up chicken and waffles.In sum, when in the St. Charles area, visit Syrup and see if you're not convinced: Syrup is the best .

It is a modern restaurant that serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch with no boundaries.The style of decor is inspired by rusty farm design. The color scheme is black and white monochromatic; giving the layout the appearance of being broaderThe menu is simple, but it contains a wide range of enticing items. I chose their famous breakfast (legendary breakfast), which included two sunny side up eggs (cage free eggs), grits, bacon (billion dollar bacon), and a side of two mini waffles.The bacon is crispy and caramelized to perfection. There's a hint of sweetness. I'm assuming it's honey-coated. It's unfortunate because it was the only thing I enjoyed. I was anticipating the grit because I never had it before. It doesn't look appealing at all, just a pile of mush covered in cheese sauce and topped with chopped herbs, possibly parsley? The first taste was terrible; it was flavorless and so disappointing that I didn't bother finishing it and gave it away. The eggs and waffles were delicious. I'm delighted it was nicely executed. I'm not sure why it's labeled legendary when it was average.The meal was not particularly filling, so I added a side of cinnamon roll French toast. It has a beautiful crust and fluffy crumb. It was drizzled with cream cheese frosting/syrup. I smiled broadly due to the sensation of the vanilla and cinnamon blended together with every bite. This meal alone had redeemed itself and softened the blow.This restaurant is not horrible at all; I just ordered the wrong items. I hope to return if I'm in the neighborhood.
