Nine Shacks. One obsession. Best breakfast in St. Louis.
(and we’re really trying to impress Kansas City, too)
You voted, we won, and we’re going to be insufferable about it. Come for the skillet, stay for the third cup of coffee.
Voted Best Breakfast and Best Brunch in St. Louis St. Louis Magazine A-List Readers’ Choice 2026. Undefeated before noon.
Good mornings, made from scratch
The Shack is a breakfast, brunch and lunch joint with nine locations across St. Louis and Kansas City. Hash browns crisped on the flat top, biscuits split under sausage gravy, waffles that don’t fit the plate, and coffee that keeps coming. We open at 6:30 AM and we’re done by 2 PM, because breakfast should be eaten in the morning.
We hope you get the same feeling our Shackers do when they smell bacon, hot syrup or freshly brewed coffee — ready to start a new day better than the last.

The usual questions
What time do you open and close?
Every Shack opens at 6:30 AM and closes at 2 PM, seven days a week. Breakfast is served the entire time.
Do you take reservations?
No reservations — it’s first come, first served. You can put your name in ahead using Skip the Wait so you’re on the list before you arrive.
Is there a gluten-free menu?
Yes. We have a dedicated gluten-free menu across all nine locations. Tell your server and they’ll walk you through it.
Do you serve lunch, or just breakfast?
Both. Burgers, wraps, salads and sandwiches are available all day alongside the breakfast menu — and you can order breakfast right up until we close at 2 PM.
Can you host a private event?
We do private events and catering at most locations. Get in touch with the Shack nearest you and we’ll sort it out.
