10 Best American Restaurants in Festus

“That was the best burger I’ve had in a long time. Very delicious“

“Went for dinner for the FIRST time tonight with 4 kids and 2 adults. First off, you could tell a lot of the ingredients is fresh. We split the fajita fries and l had the house burger with the CE sauce (it’s a different name on the menu). I tried a bite of the kids mac & cheese as well. Everything was phenomenal & we topped it off with ice cream and shakes. These were extremely affordable, I was shocked at how low those prices were. Lastly, our waitress Heidi was impeccable. She continually checked on us, we always had full drinks and she repeated our order. Kudos to her. A+ experience and will be back! 10/10“

I'll have to say, I hate doing this review.
I had high hopes after our last visit.
As happy as we were in the food and service last time, I had the opposite experience last night. I dropped in after work to grab some food, on my way home. It was late around 11:15pm.
After ordering I sat at the drive thru window for over 20 minutes. There was a line of probably 4 or 5 vehicles behind me waiting also. Who knows how long they waited.
I noticed 3 bags of food to go on the counter inside that sat there for quite some time. The young kid working finally appeared and grabbed the first bag and handed it to me. I figured they weren't ready having sat there for a while.
The food was cold. What a complete fail.
2 cold meals for $20.
Maybe just a bad night but it'll more than likely be my last trip for a long time.
Sorry, not Recommended-MVP
*** I'm editing my review.
We have tried 2 times now, after our bad experience.
I believe things are turning around. There seems to be a resurgence of Steak and Shake. Good for them!
We've always liked the style and crispy edges burgers they serve. The fries are some of the best in our opinion.
Please keep up the good work and we'll keep eating here!
Recommended!!-MVP“
