“I just left DTCC and sipped my coffee. Holy smokes. Heather just nailed my white chocolate lavender mocha. Sometimes steamed almond milk messes with the flavor but I’m sitting here in lavender mocha heaven thinking about how I can’t tell the difference between the almond milk and dairy… and the flavors are spot on. Totally started my day right. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Tried Slim Chickens for the first time - honestly, it beats Chick-fil-A in a few key areas. The tenders are juicier, the dipping sauces have way more variety (try the Cayenne Ranch or Korean BBQ), and the Texas toast and seasoned fries are a solid upgrade over waffle fries. Service was quick, and the vibe feels more laid-back and Southern. If you’re into real chicken flavor over sweet-breaded fast food, Slim’s wins.”

“The baristas are always kind, during the weekends it gets very busy and there’s lots of people but it’s worth the wait. Plus no tax so the drinks are cheaper then off base ✋😆”

“Panda exceeded my expectations. Everything was smooth, professional, and stress-free.”
• “Great service from Panda—responsive, efficient, and very helpful throughout.”

“Nice spot to grab some bar food and a drink if you’re TDY and don’t want to risk something in St Robert’s. Morelli Heights Bar & Grill is nested right next to the hotel so if you’re in a pinch this place will do with reasonable prices and a small menu. Friendly staff and plenty of seating.”

“It's a fantastic way to make friends and we have a lot of fun. always something to look forward to! 😊”

“As a retiree I live on a budget when I eat our the food is a lot better then when I was in a lot better then hells kitchen when I was going thru boot camp 1971 at Lackland afb”

“Manager, Christy M and her Staff are friendly and provide the best Sbarro pizza and other pasta dishes that are tasty and there are always available at Ft Leonard Wood, MO.”

“Had a great time at the hibachi grill! The chefs were entertaining and skilled, making the whole meal a fun, interactive experience. The food was fresh and flavorful—especially the steak and shrimp, which were cooked perfectly. Portions were generous, and the fried rice was a favorite at the table.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. If you’re looking for a place that combines good food with a little show, this spot definitely delivers.

Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the wait was a little longer than expected, but it was worth it in the end. Definitely recommend!”

“I loved the cheese fry's they where so yummy. And the lemonade was so thirst quenching. Great first time at Charley's Cheesestakes! I hope to eat here again someday.”

“My personal favorites are the sweet almond pretzels and the salted pretzel bites. Every time I have gone the employees are friendly, helpful, and have a great sense of humor. The pretzels are fresh and very well made. Glad to have found this spot! Will continue to visit for the rest of our time here at FLW.”

“very hard workers here! they are ALWAYS busy on weekends and they do their best to keep up with the crowd of orders! never mean or have a attitude even when
super busy!”

“Clean dining area and the food is consistently good. Is on base so it can get very crowded very quickly.
Only complaint is I wish the drive-thru was quicker ... whether busy inside or not, the drive-thru always seems to be sllllooooowwww.”

“Love the cajun rice and spicy chicken. Always done when i have gotten although i have gotten it from other chicken chains and the meat was still raw and bloody. Popeyes is my favorite.”

“I never EVER have a bad experience here but the worker who really stood out to me was Emma. She treated us with nothing but kindness and made sure we had everything we needed before we left that drive thru line. She truly made the experience worthwhile and I’ll be coming back again and again! Thanks Emma you’re a gem <3”

“Everyone knows it’s the best. Wish this was everywhere!”

“Yum! Needed some good protein and got it with in house made chicken tenders. The regular chicken has strong flavor. The tenders are lighter. Hit the spot just right! Grilled and fried both were tender and juicy.”

“This place is great the food the people will definitely come back 5 stars for sure”

“We love Cancun, it’s the best Mexian Grill around in my opinion! The Pollo Bandito is AMAZING and it’s child friendly!”

“Great food & service. Highly recommend!”

“I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for years now after a friend recommended it to me but we hadn’t had the opportunity to stop by on our travels from STL to Springfield until recently, I can’t believe I waited so long!!! This place is a gem! A must-visit restaurant if you are ever in the area! The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, very warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Definitely recommend the egg drop soup, it was one of the tastiest versions of this soup I have ever eaten! Everything looked delicious and I can’t wait to visit again soon for another delicious meal the next time we are in the area! Highly recommend!!!”

“I go here when I take myself on a date. The food is EXCEPTIONAL, the service is EXCELLENT, and the atmosphere is a whole vibe! Can’t wait to go back! Oh! I did bring my mom here once to treat her, she has alpha-gal so her food cannot be cooked on the same grill as red meat, so they kindly cooked all her food separately so she wouldn’t have an allergic reaction. Highly recommend!!!”

“Best Mexican food ever!! The food is delicious and the service is amazing! 10 🌟”

“If it wasn’t for the “separate” smoking section - which was barely keeping any smoke out of the non smoking section - this would be 5 stars. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and sweet. Very attentive. They serve breakfast all day (I’m always up for that!). Our food came out at a reasonable time, was hot and fresh; everything tasted great. I just had a hard time ignoring the smoke smell.”

“The BEST breakfast in town! Great food, great people, great atmosphere! This was my first time, but for sure will not be the last! Do yourself a favor and stop here for some great grub!”

“Hands down the best steakhouse in Missouri. Carnivores isn’t just a place to eat — it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, the energy hits different. The vibe is relaxed but sharp, the drinks are crafted like art, and the food? Straight fire. You can taste the care in every cut — juicy steaks cooked perfectly, sides that actually have flavor, and cocktails that belong in a big-city lounge. What makes it special is the heart behind it. The owner and team treat guests like family and carry that “Warrior” pride in everything they do. Whether you’re there for date night, a family dinner, or just to unwind at the bar, you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. This isn’t your average steakhouse — it’s the one the others wish they could be. “Where Warriors Feast” isn’t just a slogan, it’s the truth.”

“I have been coming to get 66 for years! always have to get a gator bayou taco or burrito! If you get the burrito just remember it's going to be FAT 😆 Buffalo Mac taco on Monday special is also a favorite of mine. I like the strawberry chipotle wings and definitely buffalo classic ❤️ good ranch too.”

“Love this place! Been several times. Ramen and the sushi is delicious!”

“Its a smaller restaurant that's connected to the gas station/ convenient store. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service we got. I myself got the taco salad with ground beef and I didn't care for it, but our server did replace it for me. For adults the margaritas were very good.”

“Great food and great waitstaff!! Great bartender!”
