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 :)

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.

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!

They take walk ins but its best to make a reservation. Came in for brunch and they have a good Mimosa and bloody mary bar. The place was packed and the service was still good. Nice atmosphere with great food. I love a good breakfast burrito but the had shrimp and grits too. When you can't decide just get both and I wasn't disappointed. I will definitely be back.

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!!

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.

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.
