Chris’ Pancake and Dining to Open Second Location at SLU School of Law

Revered citywide, Chris’ Pancake and Dining has announced it will open a second location on the first floor of the School of Law at Scott Hall. Chris’ @ the Docket will be open to the public this fall and will offer patrons Chris’ classic breakfast and lunch items as well as the addition of pizza to the lineup, including a breakfast pizza.

Located in South City at the corner of Southwest Avenue and Watson Road, Chris’ Pancake and Dining has been an institution for 28 years.

The new location of Chris’ joins a family of brands that include Bartolino’s Osteria and Bartolino’s South.

“We are excited about this additional location that will give us the opportunity to not only reach the downtown community but also expand our menu,” said Chris Saracino, owner of Chris’ Pancake and Dining. “The new location is home to a beautiful pizza oven that we can utilize to bring in some of the recipes from our Bartolino’s brand.”

Chris’ @ The Docket will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. offering breakfast, brunch and lunch as well as a full bar with service that will extend later in the day.

Chris’ also will be available for private events in its main floor after regular business hours.

Grab-and-go options will be available until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

“Chris’ Pancake and Dining is one of St. Louis’ most venerable breakfast and lunch restaurants,” said Michael Wolff, dean of the School of Law. “We are looking forward to having such a great establishment in our building. We could not be more pleased with the partnership.”

Tim Jansen, formally executive chef at Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel, will join the Chris’ team to manage the new location, scheduled to open in late September.
