“We love coming here! The atmosphere is so pretty and the staff is incredibly friendly! 10/10 recommend the Herculaneum location!!”

“Had a great time. Our meals were great. Two of us had pancakes with strawberries. One had the Old Timers and the other had new Cinnamon rolls skillet. That skillet was amazing. Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed.”

“2/8/23 - Dairy Queen in Herculaneum, Missouri...helping in our community... Dairy Queen (90 Scenic Plaza Dr, Herculaneum, MO) Yesterday was my daughter’s 12th birthday! She chose a birthday dinner from the Herculaneum Dairy Queen (DQ) on our way to her dance class last night. We love THIS DQ! Their team is always super friendly and courteous. The food is made fresh when we order it. This location is currently under construction, but they are still open, ready to serve their tasty food, while helping our community. The Dairy Queen Herculaneum location participates in many events to give back to our Festus-area schools, residents and charities. To name just a few: @Festus Elementary PTO @Festus R-VI School District @Jefferson R-7 PTO @Herculaneum Fire Department (toy, coat and food drive) @Kade's Playground @Autumn Ridge Residences ...and more! We admire and thank you for your kindness and support. For food…my kiddos go-to favorites are their cheeseburgers, fries and a blue raspberry-flavored “freeze”…a combination of slushy ice mixed with ice cream. Our family has enjoyed DQ birthday cakes for years. My personal favorite their ice cream cake with itty-bitty Oreo pieces inside. DQ also offers dairy-free treats, DoorDash delivery, Uber Eats and rewards/special deals through their mobile app. We are thrilled to have this establishment serving our local community. This is a non-paid endorsement, inviting you to get some hot eats and cool treats at the Dairy Queen in Herculaneum. Review by Sara with MyFestus.com”

“This new location is wonderful! I visited the dining room shortly after 4am. Expecting to find the normal items, I was surprised to find this location also serves breakfast items. In fact, it wasn't until I learned of this location that I came to understanding Arby's offered breakfast.My mind had already been set on trying the "Good Burger" combo meal, which was in promotion of the movie. While I didn't care for the burger (personal preference only), I do feel that the food was fresh, well prepared, and made quickly. Separate from this, I received A+ service from Sandy, the front lobby person, who was refreshingly friendly, professional, and informative. She, thoroughly, answered all of my questions and I really felt accommodated to the fullest. Due to the above experience, I encourage everyone to visit this location so that they can have the same experience I had.”

“Tried this place with my family for the first time. Everything we got was sooo good and everyone was so helpful. The portions were even big enough for us to split up to save some for later. For the 5 of us it was $98. That was for regular drinks, Boba teas, our meals, and 3 appetizers. Our dine in experience was a 10/10, we will definitely be back!”

“oh gordon’s what’s not to love? i’ve been going here since i was a kid with my dad and it’s always been the same,the best burger i’ve ever had, and the cheese fries mann! the hard working people that run that show do a amazing job i highly recommend stopping in to have a single cheeseburger and some cheese fries it’s my favorite thanks to the awesome cooks! i swear they make mine special or something cuz its always so good”

“Excellent staff. Excellent environment. Excellent food. Excellent drinks.”

“My daughter and I visited The Braided Bakery today for the first time and it was AMAZING!! First of all the shop is adorable!!! The people were super friendly and I’m now the proud owner of a pretzel bites addiction!!! They are to DIE FOR! I was in love with Auntie Anne’s, UNTIL today when I tried theirs!!! They are so soft and pillowy and NOT greasy like auntie Anne’s! So much better!!! We also got a chocolate chip and a gooey butter cookie that were also the best cookies ever!!! They are really thick and just have the best taste and texture!! We will definitely be back for more!!!! Thank you so much!”

“Visited this amazing friendly atmosphere this past weekend with my best girls and oh my goodness the food was fabulous and the service was 10/10! We chose to sit outside because there was an hour wait BUT that was SO understandable considering there were thousands of people walking around! We had exceptional fast service outside! The cocktails are amazing as well! Thanks for being great! Will visit again!”

“Seriously the best experience with my daughter. In her words, “ this was so fun mom & I have coffee just like you.I have never been here before so the welcoming people and atmosphere made you want to stay. I don’t know who the young lady was at the front register with blonde hair but thank you for the recommendation for the chocolate lava iced coffee. I loved it. Thank you all for your smiles.”

“Conductor coffee roasts some amazingly delicious beans! Ethiopia for the win!!”

“Ordered a veggie pizza and a salad. 4-cheese, mushroom, onion and dark olives. Not black olives, but dark Greek type olives. Pizza was Great. Only one size but enough for 2 people. The salads are made ahead of time, found in a care, but taste very fresh. Only an oil dressing is offered, but it was wonderful. We dipped the crust of the pizza in the extra oil dressing, yummy. Had the lemonade - delicious!”

“I've been going here since I was a little kid and their food is still unmatched. Old timey, diner-style restaurant with friendly service, to-die-for ice cream, and plenty of lovely memories. Also has great pricing and a claw machine I've won two stuffed animals from, which is in my opinion a good record. Highly reccommend mozzarella sticks, fries, and waffle cone sundae (mint chip is superior).”

“i wish they had dilivery, since i do not drive”

“I have tried Thai restaurants all over the United States. This place has some of the best pad Thai I have ever eaten if you like spice make sure to ask for level five because it’s the perfect blend of heat and flavor plus it just dang hot and I love it.”

“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!! Great atmosphere, cold beer and delish food. Thank you, Rez, Chris, Jenna, Rachael, Alex, and the rest of the crew, you all ROCK!!”

“Good service and friendly service”

“I absolutely love Star Cafe. It’s one of the very few places I can take the kids, feel safe, and not feel judged if my little one is having a bad day. My favorite is when I’m indecisive and I tell the girls to just surprise me. They never fail. Such a great family owned small business! Everyone needs to try them out!”

“Like many of us do, we eat at a lot of different Mexican restaurants, but we feel this one by far exceeds them all. Their food is delicious and always fresh. We feel that the margaritas are the best in Jefferson County. The people who own it are friendly and our service is always fantastic. What we like about the service is if you want to hurry up and eat and leave, they will provide that for you. But if you like to sit around like we do with our friends and have pictures of margaritas and not be rushed they will allow that also. We absolutely love we are never rushed. Hands-down, it is our favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Jefferson County and in the top three in the entire St. Louis /Jefferson County area. We are huge fans of the shrimp fajitas.”

“We SO enjoyed our brunch today- called for a last minute reservation for 10+ ❤️‍🩹 We could not have been more pleased! From the delicious hot coffee, fabulous entrees and considerate care from the wait staff it was an A+ experience ♥️Strawberry salad, and the Caramel Apple French Toast were two favorites ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This is THE ONLY place I see the owner and the emploies that know the customers names and seem to treat the regulars like family. I watched one person not know what they wanted and the owner said I know what you want, and brought some food, and that person said yes this is exactly what she wanted. Things like this happen all the time here. And the food is good :)”

“Great food. Reasonable prices.”

“What an awesome dining experience we had tonight! It was our first time visiting and we didn't realize we needed reservations. Instead, my hubby and I got to sit at the bar and met the owner Grace, who was so incredibly sweet. The food and service was top notch and exactly what we needed after a really tough week. Thank you Grace for taking such great care of us. We've found our new favorite place to eat!”

“My son has autism with sensory issues and we avoided all restaurants for about 10 years since he struggled with noises and being around children. With therapy and maturity, we have worked our way to now weekly visits to Festus Fazolis. My son loves spaghetti and garlic bread and can walk around and get his own drink. It gives us all a chance to sit as a family for a quiet meal out. Thank you to the friendly and understanding staff 😊”

“Food is SO flavorful and fresh, service is really quick, and it's a really cute little restaurant. This will be heavily featured in my lunch rotation from now on.”

“First time today. Had the trashed wings. Delicious!! Burger, very good. Everything cooked perfectly and the service was excellent. We will return.”

“Used to have to go to Wisconsin to get Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company’s ice cream but now it’s available in our region. Stopped by for a shot of espresso over a scoop of ‘#*!*Serious’ (an affogato) and it was fantastic. Best ever. So nice to have a coffee AND ice cream shop under one roof. Courteous staff, too! Next time I’m going to take my wife and do a little local shopping. Beautiful downtown Main Street area.”
