Customer Reviews

Wonderful breakfast this morning! Quaint neighborhood diner, with 15-20 minute waits during peak service times. Mid-morning to when most Sunday church services are finishing. Servings were more than enough and the pancakes were HUGE! Boardwalk omelet is a Denver omelet on steroids = delicious. My breakfast tomorrow! Great diner in Webster Groves neighborhood, lovely place!

Good food, very good portions, good place for comfort food. Service was prompt. They did a good job of accommodating our large group of 12. Very short wait considering. Did not have to wait for food or drinks, coffee, water and soft drinks were refilled regularly. Had the chili and cheese omelet special, very tasty. Bery good biscuits and gravy. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.

Felt like being in an episode of Cheers, almost every customer that walked in the door was greeted by name. Staff was friendly, food was delicious and fast. Small town feel in the middle of Webster.

It was definitely hopping but they still served our food in record time, compared to chain breakfast places. I mentioned this to our server and she said "we don't mess around here". That's the truth. The food was amazing and so reasonably priced. I highly recommend Boardwalk Cafe. This is our new Sunday breakfast eatery!!!

The fries were a little over done. The hamburger was excellent and good sized. All portions were huge. The staff are very friendly. Our waitress was really good. One of the best we have had in a long time.

It was a Sunday morning and my first visit. This place was hopping and we, party of two, were added to the wait list. I'd say we waited about 10 minutes and got seated. Our waitress (didn't catch the name) but I should have asked because she was awesome. She was super busy, like unbelievably busy but knew the menu and still took time to answer a few questions without making us feel rushed or like it was a bother. She was cute, funny and polite! The food did not take long to prepare and came out piping hot. The eggs were cooked perfectly and sat atop a mound of chili, hamburger patty, and hash browns that covered the entire plate. Holy sh!t!! It looked good and tasted good. The Boardwalk Cafe is now at the top of my list. They knocked my original 1st place to number 2. I'll be back for sure!
