SqWires Restaurant & Market

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service make this restaurant/bar a must-visit. The only reason it's not five stars is because they ran out of andouille sausage for the omelette which would have heightened the flavor profile of the cooked omelette. Overall, a fantastic experience and a wonderful Sunday brunch!

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

Finally stopped in after driving past for years! Excellent food and service, it was just a bit cold inside, so I kept my coat on. They serve one of my favorite local tea brands.

This place gives upscale, but cozy brunch was definitely amazing bottomless mimosas bomb! Katie our server was amazing definitely will be back creole shrimp omelet and Sqwires scramble a must try!

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.

I must start with peach bread pudding - it was one of the best puddings I tried. And I tried many ;) Great date spot with live music, outstanding service and delicious food. Friday offers oyster and shrimp bar from 4 to 7 pm and many specials. Friday cod tacos had lots of flavor. We also enjoyed mushroom paste and truffle Mac and Cheese. Good selection of alcohol and non/alcohol drinks. Many vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and on the street.

Come here for the atmosphere and maybe the Mimosas, go elsewhere for brunch. I have to say we were unfortunately let down by the quality of food and drink at SqWires. Don't get me wrong, the food in the photos you see below looks amazing however that's as deep as it goes. We started with a Mr. Pibb and the Dubuque coffee. The soda was flat, I mean dead flat, no carbonation what so ever. My second glass somehow proved to be even more flat, if that was even possible. The coffee was ok, however a bit bitter for my wife's taste. We ordered the Smoked Brisket Hash, the SqWires Benedict, and the child's hamburger meal. Our Eggs Benedict with Salmon was the winner, but still lacked a developed flavor profile. The Hash wasn't inedible, but close. The brisket was rubbery, undercooked, and the fat had not rendered... there was no taste of smoke in the slightest. The potatoes were undercooked and were difficult to pierce with a fork. Eggs were cooked nicely though. This meal didn't work will together. Hash generally is well combined and has a more thoughtful coronation of flavors. My daughter said her hamburger was dry and unseasoned. She mentioned the brioche bun overwhelmed the already dry patty. My taste test proved her sentiments were in fact correct. I'm sorry SqWires, I think you can do better. I will try brunch elsewhere next time we're in town.

We went to SqWires Restaurant and Market for breakfast, and it did not disappoint! Hubby got the Creole Shrimp Omelette and I went with the SqWires scramble (gravy on the side). Food was delicious, although it looked like I barely made a dent. The potatoes on the bottom were perfect...John was a great server, and the morning drive into the city was worth it, seeing as we beat the brunch rush from their bottomless mimosa and bloody mary bar fans. Great outdoor space, too! If you haven't been, check it out for a cool industrial vibe featuring amazing food and service.
