The Shack Frontenac - Saint Louis

Probably my favorite brekky connection in STL. Depending on luck or timing, the waiting time at the Shack Frontenac can be crazy, but it is worth waiting. It is a very funky place with literally writing on all walls and ceiling. The staff is always friendly and the food is always great. You have great menu item names, very unique. This time we had a shrimp from the special menu, Belgian waffle S'Mores (holy sweet tooth Batman! , Country Fried Steak, Why the French hatred us (love the name, and Mommy, where comes Bacon (another great name). Everything was great. To round it off, we have for years immortalized our names on the wall. We checked another place 4 years ago, and our name was still there.

This place was a real surprise. Stopped in for breakfast while visiting family in the area. The menu had so many interesting options! The atmosphere was pretty unique and laid back, with graffiti and doodles and almost every surface. Staff were all super friendly, the food tasted great, and the boozy milkshakes were phenomenal. We liked it so much we went back the next day too!

Fun breakfast place with lots of GF options! Be sure to know that the pancakes are absolutely massive and the unique drink options are especially tasty. Eggs and omelette were a bit greasy, so be aware of what you get as a side to counteract.

This place was awesome! I?m pretty sure there is a long line most of the time. So glad we got in at the bar really easy. The skillet I had was soo yummy, sadly only transferred in the cast iron dish that was cold and gave the food a bit of taste.

I went to this specific Shack on a Wednesday around 11am and it wasn?t too busy. I only waited a couple minutes to get seated and then T-Hammer, my server, was amazing! He was quick, friendly, patients and observant(like a machine). I got the Waffle s?mores and Captain Crunch smoothie and they were ? the waffles were good but the smoothie was ? I was worried when it said yogurt but it didn?t taste like yogurt(tasted more like frozen yogurt). They also have alcoholic smoothies and a **** Mary which looked cool lol
