Stopped by for a break on the home and garden tour weekend. The place was swamped so service too forever, but our server was doing her absolute darnedest to keep up. We were starving by the time food came, so take this with a grain of salt, but the food was great!

Love SqWires! I am a regular! They're happy hour and their patio are amazing! ❤️ Not to mention their fried chicken dinners! This time I went with their BLT and calamari app. So good! Will def be getting it again. You must also try their chicken salad!!

SqWires Restaurant and Market is the perfect place to kick off an unforgettable brunch day in St. Louis! We started a recent STL Ladies Brunch Group outing here, and it set the bar high. The Mimosa & Bloody Mary bar was top-tier—customizable, well-stocked, and such a fun touch. I ordered the salmon bagel board, and it was absolute perfection: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance at SqWires is a blend of historic charm and modern comfort, making it ideal for everything from casual brunches to special celebrations. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the vibe was just right. This stop kicked off a full six-hour Sunday adventure, and SqWires made it easy to linger and enjoy. Whether you’re a brunch loyalist or just looking for a great start to your day, this spot belongs on your STL dining list.

Went with some friends prior to a show downtown St. Louis. We arrive at 6 for our reservation. It was pretty busy. Neat building with a great atmosphere. There was a band playing on Friday night. It wasn’t too loud and they were good. Our server/service seemed slow. Not sure if that’s a norm here or if they were understaffed. It took forever to get water. Then a long time for drinks. Thankfully we ordered when we placed our drink order. Not sure what time we finally ordered but needless to say, We were quickly running against the clock to make it to the show in time. Our food was good. Would return for the food. Hopefully the service was a one time thing. It took almost an hour and a half for a small menu. We didn’t even attempt ordering a second drink. Go for the food and atmosphere. Not the quick service.

Had brunch on Sunday, and everything was wonderful. We were part of a large group, and everyone was very accommodating. The mushroom, spinach and gruyere omelet was amazing and the smashed potatoes were cooked to perfection.

Pre-Event Since learning sugar isnt vegan and that some liquors arent vegan, i reached out prior to the event to see what my options are. Hanna did an amazing job working with me and providing me with the requested information so that I can have a smooth time ordering drinks as a vegan. She provided the labels of the items and everything which was incredibly helpful. I appreciate her so much. That there is what you call awesome hospitality. I now know what to expect and what I can and can not have. I also know what I can order and the modifications i need to ask for. This is perfect. The Event Atmosphere/environment/ Set up It was so beautiful. The set up and atmosphere was a vibe. Shoot I hate i didnt get pics of the setup. They did an amazing job with this event. My ppls Wedding Brunch Cocktail Reception was everything! We had an amazing time. It was definitely a celebration. They took really good care of me, the only vegan in attendance. My fiance is vegetarian and he had a separate meal as well. He was able to eat more of the provided foods like the appetizers and donuts etc due to being vegetarian, dairy and eggs. The only appetizers i would have been able to eat are the potatoe cakes but it came with dairy so the manager, Stephanie, personally went back to get me some without the cheese. And on top of that they gave me some hummus and this olive mixture. Everything was so delicious but baby, those potato cakes. Those were the dish of the evening. It was everyone's favorite, with and without the cheese. Lol. My fiance had a vegetarian lasagna that looked so delicious. Didnt get a pic. And my vegan meal which I think was the Tofu Truffle Skillet. Tofu, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, and potatoes. It was so fire. I think it was supposed to come with toast but it was so much i definitely didnt need the toast. My fiance went to get my drinks from the other side and he said its just as beautiful on that side as it is in the side we was on for the wedding Reception. Those bar tenders on that side was amazing as well. They did not disappoint. Drinks were perfectly strong. The 2nd bar tender was our favorite because he gave us larger cups while the first one gave us smaller cups. But i think the first bartender drinks were stronger lol. My only regret is forgetting about my dessert, a sorbet. I thought about it after we made it back home. Lol We will definitely be back! It was an amazing night.

WOW! My first time eating at SqWires for brunch (and in general) and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is decorated in a tasteful, rustic chic vibe and all the food was DELICIOUS. Also our server was delightful and so helpful in recommendations. Definitely gonna have to go back again for their bottomless mimosa and bloody Mary bar :)

We made a reservation for a birthday dinner. We received a very poor welcome. Waited several minutes for our server to introduce himself. We ordered a 1st round of cocktails which were mediocre at best. We then ordered a couple appetizers which were very tasty. We then waited several minutes for our server to return. When we did we chose to leave the restaurant and enjoy our birthday dinner elsewhere. Did not offer anything other than the check. We had to ask to speak with a manager on the way out the door but was a little late at that point to make it right. The empty dinning room on a Saturday night should have been our first clue.

Friends night out this past Saturday... Stop #1- Squires on Lafayette Square. Drinks were good!! The Crispy Cauliflower was delish The French Onion Soup was good but all the yummy broth was soaked up from all the bread!! The Chicken Pot Pie was good but could have been a bit hotter? The Mussels, Shrimp and Fries were Yummy!!! Not to heavy and just enough. PS. They have the Best Chicken Salad so I grab the last 3 containers from the Squires Market to take home!!!! Our server Ben was Great!!! And the decor was laid back!!!

The Bloody Mary bar is the best in the city. The ambiance of this space is gorgeous. Tall ceilings and windows. The service is always top notch. 10/10 would recommend!

The cocktails even mock tails here are absolutely awful. You need a bar manager, and if you have one, they need to go. The food my group received was mushy (this was a special) and you have such a small dinner menu you should be executing these dishes to a decent standard. I was really sad, normally come for brunch and it's been okay but dinner was a true Shakespearean tragedy. Woof.

Tried Sqwires for the first time for brunch! Arrived early and were seated quickly. Service was good and food arrived quickly. The mimosa/Bloody Mary bar looked so cool and such a fun idea! I got the bagel breakfast sandwich and my friend got biscuits and gravy. The breakfast sandwich was super delicious, though the bagel was nothing special really. Potatoes were a let down, only some crispy parts and not very well seasoned, but everything else was pretty good!

I went to SqWires as it was the randomly assigned location for my Timeleft dinner(a new app where you can meet new friends for dinner based on common interests). The location was easy to find and they had plenty of parking. I went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't super busy but there were enough people there that it wasn't dead. It was a very pretty restaurant and could be a cool place for fun events if there were more people. The staff was very kind and helpful in getting all the things my table needed and splitting the bill 6 different ways (I know some places really hate doing this but they already did it without us asking which was nice!) The menu wasn't super exhaustive so if you have dietary guidelines probably not the place for you. Our table ordered the goat cheese appetizer and I personally ordered the fettuccine. Honestly the pasta was ok, not amazing but not bad. The portion size was a little smaller than I'd like for the price it was tasty but perfect for a solo dinner (I usually like something to take home for a nice second meal!). Personally I think the best part of the meal was the appetizer, it was really good, probably could have made a meal of just that. Overall, a good experience with food, great staff and good ambiance

We dined here for my mom's birthday and had a great experience. First they had the patio open and it was the prefect spring evening to sit outside. A little chilly but the patio is heated so it would have been fine. Our party didn't sit outside. But they do have a great outdoor area. It was busy due to prom. And the staff handled it like champs! On to the food... They offer a seasonal menu apart from their regular menu which I love. I had the Steak Medallions with Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts and my husband had the Stir Fry with Tuna. Both very enjoyable. But only available for a limited time so hurry in. My mom had the famous Meatloaf. Which is always a winner!! The old fashion was made with locally sourced whiskey which is always awesome! We love Sqwires and come often. A+ as always!!

Arrived for late brunch on a sunny Saturday . We were a group of 8 and we were seated outside under a heater. Very nice. Table and server was ready for us as we called ahead. Very busy but all was handled very well. I ordered a dish called truffle tofu skillet, which listed kale, mushrooms and tofu as primary ingredients. Sadly, the dish was nearly ALL potatoes, tasteless tofu, very few mushrooms and sparse kale. A scattering of onions helped but not much. Disappointing because this is Sqwires,!!! Other orders at the table were so generous, most took boxes of their order home. Did appreciate the gf toast to substitute.

A group of about 8 of us did brunch on a Saturday morning. We had reservations for 11:30 and we were sat in the patio area as soon as we arrived. Patio is heated and very comfy. I ordered the Vegan Scramble which was amazing. My husband ordered the Veggie Lasagna (no noodles). He enjoyed it and had to bring about a third of it home because it was so filling. Our waitress was great. I need to come back and do the Bloody Mary bar. I peeked inside and it looked over the top with all the selections of garnishments.

A charming gastropub in Lafayette Square! I was aesthetically and gastronomically pleased with my smoked salmon platter - a firm, flaky handle of fish with capers, pickled red onions (?a wine vinegar pickling), cream cheese and lightly toasted plain bagels. I was seated with a moderate-sized group, and service was prompt and attentive. The spacious parking lot is reason enough to visit in and of itself!

This is more of a breakfast place. Menu items were limited for dinner, but my family has been for dinner before and loved it. The inside is really nice, but it was telling how dead it was for prime time Saturday night. I wouldn't say don't go, but I'd pick somewhere else for dinner and come back in the morning for breakfast.

Stopped by for brunch on a weekday. The shaded patio filled with plants and herbs made sitting outside a treat. My waiter was fantastic, and honestly, every staff member I encountered was just as great. The homemade hummus was delightful. We also tried the fish and chips and the daily special--a grilled chicken sandwich. Both dishes came with amazing potatoes. Definitely coming back to check out the dinner menu!

Had some Sunday brunch at Sqwires and, as always, it is a solid, reliable choice. My friend and I sat at the bar for brunch. John was fantastic behind the bar. He was able to make me a garibaldi which was solid. I rolled with the biscuits and gravy along with some chicken apple sausage. The biscuits and gravy were good. I enjoyed them. The gravy was a thinner build, and the sage added a nice flavor. The biscuits are good. Crumbly, not super buttery, but a good biscuit. The cheddar scramble added on top is a nice touch. The chicken sausage is really nice. The apple adds a nice bit of sweetness. The service was great, and I absolutely love the vibes in here. Rustic, but modern. Slightly sophisticated, but still blue collar. A really nice ambience for an upbeat, fun date. The food is good, but not on that elite level. Still, enjoyable. They also have a bloody mary bar. I am not a bloody mary drinker, but they have a plethora of options ranging from bacon to artichokes to cheese to gummy worms. So, it's diverse. Always a fun time at sqwires, I am still hoping to get here for dinner as the dinner menu looks really solid!

Sqwires is one of my favorite brunch spots in town. When my friend said she wanted to celebrate her birthday here, I was super excited for a special morning at an awesome place! She had mad a reservation for us, and the staff reserved 3 tables by the fireplace for us. The fireplace is in working order and is wood burning. It adds a level of ambiance which is super nice. I ordered a latte and a mimosa (because treat yourself) to drink. The mimosa comes in a large wine glass which I appreciate. Not a fan of champagne flutes. The latte was good, as they made it half the sweetness for me. Every time I come here, I always tell myself I'm going to try something different but I find myself ordering the Sqwires scramble with the gravy on the side. It always delivers and is full of delicious flavor. I get my gravy on the side because I'm not a huge sauce person. It's tasty! Their bloody/ mimosa bar is amazing and definitely something worth looking into if you're going to have several drinks. It was a great morning!

SQWIRES NEEDS to be on your list to try ASAP! Sqwires is best known for their brunch and famous Bloody Mary bar (which is back!) but their lunch and dinner menus take them to the top of my list of places to try! The main menu is filled with delicious staples and fun drinks. For my dietary restriction friends, they have a lot of Gluten-free options and even have a dedicated GF fryer! The menu also has a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. MY FAVS: Mussels, Shrimp, & Fries (can be made GF) Roasted Wings with Agave Buffalo Sauce Pan Roasted Beef Tenderloin Veggie Lasagna (GF/Veg) Keep a look out for their daily specials like $8 "Sqware Plate" Tuesdays & Fried Chicken Thursdays

Absolutely beautiful patio with fans and heaters for all weather. Stunning loft industrial indoors with tons of personality. Such accommodating staff ready to help you with anything. My husband and I came for brunch on a Saturday, they had bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's ready to go. I had the biscuits and gravy and it came with scrambled cheese eggs on top, and I practically licked the plate clean. My husband had the Benedict with salmon and shoveled it in too. Will 100% be back!!!

OMGoodness!!! What a fantastic experience for a Sunday!! The place was packed when we got there which is a great sign of good things to those who wait. We didn't wait long. A place came open at the bar and I am so happy it did!! John was the bartender on duty and he was absolutely fantastic! He was funny, informative, helpful, and overall made the experience 5 plus stars!! The bottomless mimosas with the "garnish" bar was so much fun. There were bloody Marys as an option as well with more fixings that you could imagine! My companion and I split a breakfast burrito that was amazing. Had a small mix up on something I ordered on the side and John fixed it immediately. I was only in the restaurant part and not the annex so can't speak to what was happening over there but this place had an easy going ambiance and fun decorations to give you something to talk about about. Highly recommend and if you can grab a seat at the bar when John is on duty don't miss the opportunity!

This was my third time at Sqwires, although it's been a few years. The restaurant was full, but not overcrowded. There was some nice Carly Simon-type live music which was a pleasant background and not overwhelming. Talking echoes and it was hard to hear our fiends across the table. The decor is gorgeous with fabulous vintage architectural details. The drinks here make me happy. By drinks, I mean cocktails. I have not had a bad one, but my two favorites are the Urbantini, which is light, bright, and raspberry and the espresso martini which is rich, creamy, and the best I have had. Our table had the hummus and wings. The hummus was next level. There was hummus, grilled pita, artichoke hearts, olive tapenade, and an assortment of veggies all on beautiful mixed greens. The wings were good - the sauce exceptional. Our table had the French onion soup,chopped salad, spinach salad, and strip steak. The French onion soup was on the quite sweet and thin side, which I do not prefer. The cheese was decent quality though. Spinach salad was tasty. The special of the day chopped salad received high marks and looked great. My husband loved the steak which came with mushrooms and Boursin whipped potatoes. I had a bite and was utterly unimpressed especially for the price. My husband was happy though. The table next to us had a cheeseburger, blt, and chicken salad and whoa, did those look good. There was a bit of food envy! Service was good. The waiter spilled the first martini on our table, but cleaned it up and it was fine. These things happen and it was handled with grace which is what matters!

I stopped by for a cocktail before heading over to, The Annex for an awards Brunch. I took a bar stool in the middle of the bar and quickly greeted by the bartender. He was wearing a face mask, with the rise of COVID cases again, I kinda felt safe. Since it was, Sunday morning and time for Brunch, I ordered an Espresso Martini. It was made with, house infused espresso, vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur and cream. It was almost like a dessert. I liked that the bartender also served me a glass of water, without me having to request one. The bartender was extremely friendly and was chatting and working the entire bar, which filled up while I enjoyed my drink. He (the bartender) impressed me and the gentleman next to me, by recalling his last visit to SqWires and the person he was with. The visit was a year ago. That is one hell of a memory. If you're in the Square, I recommend you stop by for a cocktail.

Brunch envy! This one is a classic. We recently had a #daddate for brunch at SqWires in Lafayette Square, St. Louis. The tofu scramble was amazing. And have you seen the Bloody Mary bar? Sqwires got its name because it was a company in the square called Western Wire Company. Bethany Budde, owner, lives in Lafayette Square and has been a long time resident.

Ate the breakfast dish called Benny's. It was delicious, satisfying and priced right compared to dining out in general in these inflationary times. And the service by Katy was excellent.

Bloody Mary's were very watered down speaking of are the water and glasses smell like a gold fish bowl. The shrimp and grits were swimming in something and tasteless. For the price they charge I'm shocked they are as busy as they are. The best thing about this place was the antique bar and dusty light fixtures.

This has been on my wife and I's brunch list for a minute! Restaurant has a really nice rustic aesthetic to it. We all the got the bottomless mimosas and they had a serve yourself mimosa bar! I definitely recommend getting this deal as you can also get finger foods with it. I ordered the Andouille Sausage omelette and overall it was solid. They definitely were not stingy with the meat and vegetables in the omelette, but I felt as if they overcooked the eggs just a little bit. My wife's skillet was flavorful and cooked very well! The service was excellent and our waiter attended to us every 10 minutes or so making sure the empty mimosa glasses were replaced and refilling waters. We will come back here to try new items on the menu!

Can't say enough good things about this unpretentious and unexpecting brunch experience! We started with the Bloody Mary Bar. You can't come here without doing that or the Mimosa Bar. It is a long table of pure delight! We were celebrating so each got the "bottle" and had @3 bloody Mary's from it. So fun! Our table got the Biscuits & Gravy, which she raved about. Smoked Brisket Hash which was a hardy meal of protein and very flavorful. The avocado toast which had a wow factor, so colorful and full of good healthy foods. The poached egg was cooked perfectly, and a wonderful mix of flavors. The creole shrimp omelet delivered! It had a nice amount of kick to it, and the shrimp were nice and bigger than expected. Overall, this place focuses on quality, flavors, and presentation. The prices for what you get amazes me. Fancier restaurants don't deliver on all accounts, I'm very impressed. The interior is also charming, inviting yet lively. (Unfortunately the piano player wasn't present. We had such a good time we didn't even notice the lack of extra entertainment, which is kind of why I picked this spot originally). I'd give it 6 out of 5 stars! Oh, and the waiter brought a surprise birthday desert because he overheard it was a birthday celebration. Cherry bread pudding. I'd go back just for that alone. Exceptional service!!! And very attentive despite the brunch rush

Went to this place for Sunday brunch. My first time trying their smoked salmon & Eggs Benedict and added bonus I could swap the side potatoes for fruit today at no additional charge. Also learned their patio is dog friendly so this is another place Teddy can join us later this spring. #stlbrunch #Sqwires #supportlocalrestaurants #sundaybrunch #smokedsalmon #eggsbenedict #supportlocalbusiness

I expected more. Cute space in Lafayette Square with good parking options. Staff looked perpetually annoyed and our server was *I think* trying to do a rude, New York type schtick but he was generally unpleasant. Why did the glassware smell fishy? All dishes arrived to the table either barely warm or cold. Prices are fair and the flatbread was crispy. And we don't have to be friends but snarky service is never the winning move.

I really love SqWIres! The ambiance is wonderful inside and on the patio and you can't go wrong sitting in either place. The food is always wonderful. If you go for brunch, the bloody & mimosa bar is amazing! There are so many options to add in your drink or just snack on. I've always had wonderful service & sometimes they have live music which is so fun.

I attended a special event here in the large "event " room, with both upstairs and downstairs seating! It was a very large space, giving off an "industrial" feeling with the wood beans and brick walls. We were served a variety of appetizers, and each one of them were delicious! The mini bar was also open, serving a small variety of drinks. This will definitely be a place to come back and eat in, in the very near future!

We came by SqWires for dinner today and had a good experience! We made reservations prior to arriving (Sat evening), but we probably could have gotten away without them. It was a beautiful day outside, so we asked for a table outside at the front of the restaurant. The ambience was amazing- it didn't feel like we were in St Louis! The staff were friendly and quick to get our order. We decided to start with an order of bread/butter (french mini with rosemary parmesan butter) which was solid. We then ordered a burger with cheddar cheese (the cheese was an upcharge) and a beef brisket sandwich. We substituted the chips for french fries (also an upcharge). The beef brisket sandwich and burger were solid, but a little pricey. The fries were perfectly salted and tasty-my favorite part of the meal!

This top notch restaurant in the restaurant-rich Lafayette neighborhood is just such a gem! It's located in an old wire factory and the decor remains true to the building's origin. Be sure to take your time and look around - you'll see lamps made from a variety of found materials and gears and other remnants of the building's past. On this visit, I did not indulge in the fantastic looking Bloody Mary bar (I had to go back to work booooo) but I DID indulge in the amazing SqWires benedict. I briefly considered salmon (whaaaat? I was shook) but was really craving the rich hollandaise on top of tenderloin and this dish did not disappoint! Definitely recommend experiencing this restaurant for yourself - you won't be disappointed!

If you are looking for a good brunch spot look no further. SqWires's brunch also has their famous Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar. They have bottomless mimosas with an array of juices and toppings to choose from. It's great for large groups and for celebrations. They have space for private events as well. They get booked up on weekends so prior reservations are recommended. You can make a reservation on Tock. We tried the SqWire Benedict with Salmon and the Sqwire scramble. Both the dishes were delicious. They have brunch specials and dessert options. Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu. The service was prompt despite the place being packed.

Neighborhood restaurant with live music. We stay near and decided to check it out for the first time. The chicken needed hot sauce but the mashed potatoes and gravy were really good! The service is great once you get seated, they are attentive. I also noticed a range of patrons when we came, which is nice to see! I think if you want to grab a bite with no fuss, check this place out. They have many events/themed nights happening throughout the week.

Amazing brunch!!! I got the brisket hash and my boyfriend got the skillet. Both were delicious! Highly recommend the hollandaise with the hash. Service was great. I asked some questions about the menu and our server directed me to a really delicious choice. We didn't sit in the main room which I would have lived but the side room was cozy and nice if you are going in a larger group. Can't wait to go back!!!

Cozy, rustic, chic atmosphere nails it for SqWires ambiance! We had our first dinner there last night and I think we finally found our perfect dinner spot! Service was amazing, warm and friendly! The food was comfort-food at its finest!! We ordered the pot pie, vegetable lasagna, meatloaf and impossible burger...everything was stellar! There was live music which only enhanced the vibe! Great evening!

Came to SqWires for brunch and was surprised at how booked it was. For a weekend morning, the only reservation time we were able to get was at 9am which is quite early for brunch. Unrelated but I'm glad they had the World Cup games on! I ordered the Smoked Brisket Hash with Hollandaise Sauce as that was the waiter's favorite and I thought it was pretty good. I appreciate the potatoes which were extremely flavorful and was glad I ordered the extra sauce or else I would feel like the plate would be quite dry. I was confused why there were large chunks of beef as the "hash" part of the dish, but it was good and tender regardless. I was a little confused on the small slice of orange they had on each plate but I guess that's their trademark. Overall, great and solid brunch place in St. Louis. The environment is perfect too as when 11am roles in, there is live music and all the waiters were very nice and kind.

Mother's Day Brunch! https://sqwires.com/ What a well thought menu for the Mothers and their families. There was a live musician playing a Ukulele and an angelic voice. We, with creating and quick thinking of one of the party members inquired if we were allowed to experience this day at the bar. There was a fruit and juice bar as well as alcohol if interested as a paid addition for comfort while awaiting our meal. The restaurant has a small deli and a little store, so cute but covered everything!... The food was about 30 minutes coming out and we expected a slower service but the initial greeting wasn't expected. We called 14 minutes earlier and was informed the group of 8 could be accommodated upon arrival. We expected a short wait but not to be informed it was now a 1.5 hour wait, from 15 prior of nine to a short wait, and the less than hospitable comments made towards our party from Kristina. Kristina was the host earlier today. I was told this was a mistake by the person that informed me that our party could be accompanied. She also mentioned a few other snide remarks but the one that sticks out most is That this happens when you wait until the day of to gather.
