Spencer's Grill

"Super fantastic old school diner! The staff was so welcoming and the food was off the charts delicious! Best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had!"

"Love this little local diner, it brings back so many memories from my childhood. Cozy diner atmosphere and delicious comfort food. We ordered the slammer and swapped out toast for their amazing biscuits. There is usually a packed house but food always comes out super fast and cooked to perfection"

"Nice little old school diner in the heart of Kirkwood. I got the crispy pancakes and hash browns, both of which were delicious. It’s a pretty small building but I went around noon on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating. They serve Kaldi’s Coffee which I was excited about, but it tasted old and stale. They also only have International Delight coffee creamer, no half and half. But overall, very tasty food, quick service, and a fun atmosphere. Edit (10/31/23): I went back again and ordered the same exact thing. They now have actual half-and-half instead of International Delight creamer (yay!), but the pancakes this time weren’t nearly as good. They didn’t have the crispy edges like what made them so great before – they just tasted like basic pancakes you could get anywhere, unfortunately, so I lowered my review to 4 stars. See my pics to compare them from before. Edit (11/5/23): Brought my wife here for the first time. She got the scrapple and French toast, both of which she really liked. The French toast has a lot of cinnamon, just like she likes. She didn’t like the scrambled eggs since it was folded up like an omelette. I was going to try the pancakes again but I saw someone else’s order and they still didn’t have crispy edges. I got the smashburger. It wasn’t bad but it was thicker than I prefer – not smashed enough. Good flavor though. Overall, we both liked it but I really wish they would fix their pancakes and make them actually crispy again."

"Great breakfast diner that’s been around since 1947. Got the slinger which is chili covered on top of everything else and it was great. Highly recommend"

"First time trying this nugget in Kirkwood. Sat at the counter to be apart of the diner vibe. I ordered the #2 which was 2 eggs, meat and toast. I got my eggs scrambled with bacon and I upgraded the toast to a pancake. Everything was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly. The pancake was hot and fluffy and the bacon was delicious. I sat by the grill area which was fun. I picked up a trick to try when I make pancakes at home. I enjoyed talking with the cooks and others at the counter. Cute and comfortable diner that serves a great breakfast. I’ll be back, for sure!"
