Benton Park Cafe

Happy 2014! Our New Year's Day tradition is going out for breakfast. The first year we went to McDonald's. Luckily, we've only gone up from there. After some "best breakfast in St. Louis" research, I decided we would try Benton Park Cafe. It was the right choice.


The kids ordered chocolate milk. The waitress apologized for the chocolate milk taking so long because they had to melt the Godiva chocolate to go in it. What!? Why are my kids the one's drinking this deliciousness?

The food was so good! I ordered non-adventurous french toast, but it came with a cream cheese spread that was to die for. The bacon was also some of the best I've had in a long time.

We had to order a BP Slinger after we saw one delivered to the table next to us.

The waitress recommended the South of the Border Burrito.

The food all tasted good. It had lots of flavor, a little kick to it, or just a little something extra. The kids gave their pancake breakfasts a thumbs up, and Brenton said I had made a good choice on where to eat (he had been hoping for IHOP).  The best part of our New Year's breakfast though was that Grandma and Grandpa flew in the night before and got to joins us. Yay for visitors, family, traditions and holidays!
