“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.”

“I’ve been to a lot of bases and tried many Panda Express locations both on and off post. While most have been great, this particular Panda has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff is awesome, the food is always spot on, and there's rarely ever a wait in line. Most importantly, the consistency is unmatched — they bring their A-game every single day, keeping everyone well-fed and satisfied.

Overall, the service is fantastic. I have nothing but great things to say about the team, their excellent food, and the positive experience they create for the entire Panda community.”

“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 ✋😆”

“This is a very quaint place. Nice place for families visiting. Nice place to meet new people. The chicken wings and fries are great!

Parking: Inside Fort Leonard Wood.”

“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”

“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!”

“The nicest employees! I have had numerous encounters where they went above expectations. Once I was ridiculous while ordering, not sure if i wanted it this way or that. I went back and fourth 3 times and I guy just kept changing it, pleasantly. When i apologized he told me it really wasn't a problem, as we all laughed about it.

Another time I forgot to say "no mayo" on my online order and they completely remade my sub like it was nothing. 100% my mistake and they fixed it.

There have been other small things as well...just 100% pleasant on every encounter.

If I am honest we REALLY prefer a different sub spot that we don't have locally, but the customer service here makes up for our inability to get our JM fix 😉. Genuine thanks for all of the times the employees have been so kind!”

“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.”

“I know some people don't like it, but in my personal experience, I've never had one issue with any of the food. Always hits the spot and is pretty much the same as Qdoba.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“I love that they use white coffee. I appreciate their kind customer service. The variety of flavors with the month/seasons keeps my taste buds satisfied.”

“Shrimp Chimichanga with spicy cheese sauce!!!!! Insane delicious!!!😎 My absolute favorite spot in St. Robert, MO!!!”

“Always hot and always divine! We will miss you when we leave here!”

“The best restaurant in town! Great service great staff and food was HOT! The new management has turned this place around! Great job everyone”

“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!!!”

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

“Had an amazing lunch today at Mu Bahn Thai. I ordered the Appetizer Sampler and was impressed. A taste of 4 of their items left me wanting more of each. I had the Spicy Crispy Chicken from the Wok page of the menu. You get to select your heat level! I like it hot so I chose Thai Hot (which is still not the hottest) Good thing my server was on his game to keep my tea glass filled! Huge portions, great presentation, mouth watering flavor, very nice atmosphere and decor inside. All thumbs up!”

“A wonderful cafe that serves comfort food with great service. The staff is cheerful and accommodating. On Mother's Day the cook did not show up. One of the waitresses rolled up her sleeves and did the cooking! Talk about dedication. The wait staff all deserve a raise”

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

“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!”

“The pizza was great. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but we felt a bit neglected. We waited a long time to find the server to get a refill. They spent a lot of time outside, either talking to the front desk clerk or out on the patio with those patrons. Reasonable prices. Did not have to wait long for a table.”

“I'm on a diet and happy to see they had taco salad as special. very cute house, super friendly people, great food. my son had the garlic bread with bbq chicken, he was surprised about the quality and it tasted like home-cooked. coming back soon.”

“Food is amazing and service was great. Definitely recommend!! 👍🏻”

“Favorite Mexican Restaurant ! Always recommend to friends. Food is always on point. Will miss this place when I leave . Workers are friendly and great service!”
