SYRUP - St Charles — Restaurant in St. Charles

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 broader

The 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...

An Unforgettable Experience at Syrup!

If you’re looking for a dining experience that hits all the right notes, Syrup is the place to be! From the moment I stepped in with my parents, I was blown away by how immaculate and clean the entire facility was. The attention to detail in keeping everything spotless is seriously impressive, and the layout of the tables is perfect—well spaced out, offering a comfortable dining experience without feeling cramped.

The staff? Oh, they’re not just friendly, they’re downright delightful! We felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of from start to finish. And the food… let me just tell you, it was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the Over the Border Skillet, and let’s just say, the portion was absolutely huge and every bite was packed with flavor. As if that wasn’t enough, we shared some pancakes drizzled with white chocolate sauce. I mean, wow. Those pancakes were heavenly—perfectly fluffy and decadently rich with that creamy white chocolate drizzle. Honestly, it’s worth going back just for that!

Prices are more than reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it feel like a great value on top of everything else. If I had to nitpick one thing, it’s that the place could use a little help with noise absorption or perhaps some white noise to dampen the chatter, but even that didn’t take away from how wonderful our time was.

Bottom line: Syrup is a solid 10 out of 10. Totally worth the wait, and we’ll...

It’s Mothers Day, and we decided to order breakfast and pick it up knowing it would be very had to get in anywhere. Ordered the breakfast online and initially said two hours till we can pick up the food. Perhaps maybe that is where we should have tried another place. After the order was complete, it jumped to three hours. At this point, we should have called and canceled, but thought it may work out fine.

Arrive at the restaurant 10:45, called and said we had arrived (curbside pickup), and thought we would be seeing the food at the 11:00 scheduled pick up time. 11:15 rolls around and we gave them a call, and said the last item was going in, will be soon. 11:36 rolls around, and we had to call again, and they said they would check on it. She come back, and says the lost item was being finished, and should be out shortly. As you can imagined, was a little upset and asked to speak to a manager. Well, the lady who I was just talking to came back, said food is on its way out and never passed us along to the manager.

Arrive home, 5 egg omelet looks like a 3 egg omelette, food is cold, and will not order from there again. If I order something 3 HOUR AHEAD OF THE PICK UP TIME, IT SHOULD BE READY. Do not want to hear how backed up it is in the kitchen. Maybe you should not accept the online orders in the...
