42 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Imperial

“Recently moved into the condo’s nearby and have been visiting this restaurant weekly. I downloaded the Jack app which is great to get points that add up to free food quickly. I order my meal in advance and it’s always ready when I arrive and the food is hot and fresh. In addition to the tacos, curly fries, and shakes always tasting great, I also recommend the mocha cream iced coffee. The staff working here are always working hard and have a great attitude. Kudos to the team at this location all around.“

“So my wife and I always go to this subway because it's close to our house. It's our go to.. anyway, tonight was just not the night to go. They all looked like they were 20 yrs old and can't follow directions at all... The bread was as hard as a rock so it was hard to eat.. will definitely be getting free food next time because this is just not right. Bread should be soft to the bite am I right.. get someone that knows how to make bread for crying out loud..“

“The staff at this store are amazing human beings. I called for delivery, but they do not deliver to my address, they told me they would give me a discount to pick it up. I thanked them and mentioned it was my Birthday and it was a nice suprise to get a discount. When I arrived to pick up my order, the guy that brought it out said " Happy Birthday! We all chipped in and got you a Birthday cookie." I cried, the day before this, my son had 2 horrible seizures, so I was in a sad state of mind, the gesture you all made touched my heart. In a world that is sad and hurting right now, your workers showed, there is still good in the world! Thank You Papa John's Imperial Mo. YOU ROCK!! PS. The pizza and cookie was delish!!! 🍕❤🍪❤😊😭❤“

“I ordered two kid meals, but they accidentally gave me grilled nuggets instead of the fried ones that my kids prefer. Additionally, the soda lids weren’t properly closed, resulting in a mess all over my front seat. Despite these issues, I’m giving them a four-star rating because the staff is consistently friendly and treats their customers with great care.“

“A worker named Samuel at Arnold location was phenomenal!! He was very lively and made sure we were taken care of, especially with the extra cheese.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are very nice and friendly to kids. This restaurant is also very quiet and reserved.“

“This White Castle location is pretty standard—quick and affordable if you’re craving sliders. I personally don’t like onions, so I always ask for them without, and they get it right every time. The food is fresh, but the service can be a little slow during busy times. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a fast, greasy snack, though don’t expect anything fancy.“

“I chose to go through Chick FIL A drive thru for lunch even though 2 lines circle around the building. They are INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT and all fast food restaurants should take a lesson! Dont let the line scare you, but it's sometimes faster to park and go in. The diet lemonade and kale salad (I call it kale slaw) are unmatched anywhere, but so is the featured attraction- the chicken sandwich! So glad they are building one in my town!“

“The 2 women working overnight were amazing. The food was hot and fresh. They were also both so nice. We stopped at about 2:30am on a Saturday as we were traveling and needed to eat something. Glad you were open and providing stellar service.“

“This place is busy, but tends to get food out in a decent amount of time.

I find the cashiers especially friendly.

The food is mediocre at best. The toast and chicken were fairly soggy. The flavors weren't bad, but texture counts for a lot. I enjoyed the coleslaw even though it tasted brought in. I don't think it's made in-house.

I will likely not go back during the day, as the cashiers and food is better after 4.

I think the prices are a little high, but I know they pay their employees a decent wage.“

“best fries on planet earth.“

“Okay, so MOST of the time when we get fast food.....it's just a hurried order and FAST experience.....like fast food in general and most of the employees....like not that their rude....just getting people in & out. Ya know? Tonite we went to Arby's here in Arnold and it was like a whole DIFFERENT experience! Our cashier was amazing and she went above and beyond....she didn't make me feel anxious or rushed when ordering....made sure the kiddos had all their sauces and even brought Landon a tray like Mom & Dad had. ♥️ She was so polite & knew her job very well..... Their lobby was sparkly clean and it was all around a whole different experience than what we are used to. So, shout out to Kim, at Arby's Arnold! :) You absolutely made this Momma's night...I didn't have to cook and felt comfortable & welcome. ♥️ Thank you!“

“I’ve been coming to this Sonic location on and off for over 5 years, and I honestly can’t recall a single noticeably bad experience. Most of my visits are in the morning for breakfast, and they have consistently done an outstanding job—especially with the breakfast burritos.

The food is always hot, fresh, and made with great attention to quality. I also want to highlight the blonde carhop who’s been working most mornings for as long as I can remember. She is always very friendly, fast, and ensures my order is perfect every time.

As a whole, this location absolutely deserves five stars for its consistency and great service over the years!“

“fast food usually tastes like regret and disappointment but not today(1-21) the person who handled my order did a great job and wanted him to know how grateful I am for his attentiveness. food was outstanding and would recommend 10/10“

“I like it everything.Good and delicious food,clean place.Good and kind workers“

“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“

“I normally don't eat taco bell much any more, mostly because the price has risen so much in the past few years that it makes it hard to spend that much on that little bit of food, but I do gotta say that their food is good! I always thought there should be more meat in the tacos, but that's gonna cost you for real! But all in all the service was great, the food was great and it was nice and cool inside the place on a hot summer day...“

“One of the very few fast food places I will eat at. Since moving to STL it has become one of my favorite treats. Everything on the menu is amazing.“

“This Wendy's is fantastic. My mom was in the rehab facility down the street so I ate here for lunch a lot of days for about 2 weeks in a row and you can really find out about a place when you eat there almost every day. I mostly had breakfast and lunch and was all through the drive-thru. Every single time the food was good, and the wait time and prices are reasonable. I got a salad several times and it was fresh and delicious every time and I got a burger and fries and some cookies and it was all hot and fresh and delicious too. I wish I knew her name but the girl with the short black hair that works the drive-thru window does a really good job and so does the lady with the distinctive voice that works the speaker. I think this is probably my favorite fast food place in the area and I really like their salads so I'm sure I'll be back a lot. I'm not even going to try another Wendy's because I don't want to be disappointed this one does so well!“

“We have done this for 5 or 6 years now, and the last two they keep taking the decorations down and cleaning up before 9:00. It just seems like they're trying to rush you out of there. If you take reservations until 9:00 then maybe you shouldn't take the decorations down until after 9:30. We had an 8:30 reservation and by 8:45 they were pulling the tablecloths off and putting up the decorations. It made us feel like we were being rushed.“

“Everything about this white castle on lemay ferry rd. It's off 270 and lemay.exit ramp .. they ordered such wonderful people thru out the entire staff it doesn't what time of day I go the staff who works together daybor night they all have amazing team work ..I see them for maybe 5 min thru drive thru and if the staff working together did mesh well ...believe me it would show to every customer din in or drive thru .. and I just don't or haven't seen any thing but happy positive absolutely beautiful team work from all so.co.white castle crew . Thank you all for making this customer a welcomed customer and your friendly on the ball on top of your customer needs satisfaction guarantee work ethic makes my day brighter anytime I crave the white castle double slider w/cheese and extra pickle #2in the menu meal .. makes my meal taste even better then I already know it does. Thank you white castle crew in so.co.st.louis . Don't ever change who you are when that one person of complete ignorance to cover the rude hateful unnecessary attitude he/she may have at you . Just breath try to stay positive and with smile for other customers who isn't the one that treated you bad ... so far so great every drive thru I go thru most are friendly but you guys hands down know how to work it together for much better atmosphere thank you“

“My sandwich when I got home! 🤯🤢🤮“

“Service friendly. Order completely terrible Ride manager It's no wonder they closedost of locations“

“Had a couple happy hour sliders with fries. Great meal and even better value! From the friendly greeting by a cashier named Kyle upon entering (yes, I was so impressed I noted his name; and no I don't know him outside of this transaction) to just the nicer, newer, clean layout of the place compared to the other locations I've been to, it was a wonderful experience. While I've never had a horrible experience at Arby's, I can't say I've always had 5 star service at Arby's, nor been this favorable about every visit. But on Saturday September 25, at the Lamplighter Square store in St. Louis, I became a huge fan of Arby's again. Thanks giving me a reason to come back beyond just the occasional 'something different' routine.“

“Short on staff. But friendly and attentive.“

“Service was prompt and professional. Food delivered to our table promptly and tasted fresh and delicious!“

“Super clean store and the staff was beyond inviting such sweet folks working her tonight it was very refreshing to be invited. We have 4 small kids and as we walked in the cashier greeted us with crowns for each of the kids which I found to be very kind. I'll Def make it a point to stop in if this is how the staff will be every time“

“Had one of your subs for the first time today...the best sub I've ever had..yes a little bit more expensive than your average sub but in my opinion well worth it!!..i will be back...probably this weekend!!..“

“Customer service was top notch!“

“Kathy and the gentlemen that work at this location are the best! They make everyone feel welcome and the place is always perfectly clean!!! The food is excellent, both taste and presentation!!! The Hook & Ladder with Light Italian dressing is so delicious and filling and low in calories!!! It’s amazing!!!!“

“It's been years since I'd been to an A&W and I wasn't disappointed. I had a burger and a hot dog and both were fantastic. Restaurant was clean and not busy. I thought the service was a tad slow, but not so much as to ruin the experience.“

“The chicken here is unmatched with their Cajun seasoning, they unfortunately forgot the biscuit in my meal as well as charged me extra for extra sauce and didn’t add it. It is what it is I just have to check in the future. I advise everyone else do the same.“

“Our drive thru experience was great! Friendly, correct and good food!“

“Stopped here for lunch today. Double cheeseburger was cooked pretty well. Fries were ok , pretty good amount given. But their soda fountain needs some work. It didn't make the best tasting soda. The girl taking orders at the counter , Sarah , was very nice & had a pretty smile. A nice way to be greeted for taking ones order...“

“You can't find a better crew anywhere. Truthfully.“

“I came to Taco Bell January 9th, 2025 with my friends after a blues game. With immense hunger I was more then excited to arrive. Our original intentions were to go through the drive thru, but out of pure curiosity I went to check if the lobby was open. Upon opening the door, a wind of pure excitement hit me. I walked in to meet Caleb Sweeney. And was greeted with a brightness that lit every corner of the lobby. Unfortunately, when I put in my order I clicked “dine-in” unaware of my friend’s intentions to take out. I did not realize this until my name was called, feeling it was too late to change. I tried to haul things on my own. Without a lid for my fiesta potatoes and no bag for my nacho fries, I was left stunned. What could I do. Lost, confused, and on the verge of giving up, one thing came to mind. Caleb Sweeney. I waited for a chance to ask for help, and without a doubt he was there. Caleb, with no complaints, easily grabbed me a to go bag and lid for my fiesta potatoes. Even though a mistake so silly was 100% my fault, he effortlessly helped with such care, and not a single ounce of judgement. I hope every person who has worked in the fast food industry can learn from Caleb Sweeney. Such a small act of kindness can bring even the hangriest of people a smile! Lol!“

“I like it here. The food is good. LOVE the fries here, same with the chicken nuggets. Sometimes, they can be a little pricey depending on what you get. Sometimes they do forget the sause or grab the wrong sauce, but stick I like to eat here because the food is still rly good. But the one thing that I really hate is the fact that they don't serve lunch until 10:30 and not 10:00 which I know is early but sometimes I really need fries in the morning. 7/10. I recommend 🫠🫶“

“Pizzas & staff were great but this location/ franchise apparently does *not* participate/ give rewards that are offered via email from the parent company. Email says 25 bonus points when you order Mike's Hot Honey Pizza, but my rewards do not reflect it. This is the 2nd time I didn't get bonus points per emailed offer. Last time I thought maybe their system isn't up to date, but when it happened again it makes me think they're just not participating. Maybe if they did participate they would get more customers.“

“I know all subways, in theory, should taste exactly the same, being a chain. This kid with dark hair and glasses, up there was on point. I said a little mustard and mayo and he gave me 1 stripe of each. That was how subways were supposed to be made and taste - it was a bar above what I am used to getting from subway.“

“Absolutely amazing experience going here especially with all the help from Lana she was such an amazing help her personality made me feel alot better being I haven't been to this one before I absolutely will return thank you Lana for all your hard work“

“Young man name Jeff he was at the window was very kind and fast worker he did an excellent job. Food was good service was even better. This place has improved alot. If I was the owner I'd give him and everyone there a raise.

Vegetarian options: Some items

Parking: Lots of parking and clean

Kid-friendliness: Friendly all around would take my kids and parents here

Wheelchair accessibility: Some“

“By far the best Taco Bell in STL and surrounding counties. Was in the mood for Mexican Friday, our usual go to was closed. So we ended up at Taco Bell. Wow is the first thing that comes to mind. The tacos were fresh and crunchy, the meat wasn't overly soaked in grease and a nice portion of cheese on each taco. Whomever manages this location is doing an excellent job with the quality of the food. Thank you, wish other locations would have the same quality and standards. Due to the recent storms and having no power, ended up back at the same location on Saturday. To my surprise, the food was just as good Saturday as it was the day before. High five to this location, quality of food is what keeps people coming back for more.

Update: 5th time visiting this location, the food has been fresh and the each time. I'll say it again, the best TacoBell in STL.“

“Somehow y'all manage to find the best of the best and show the rest how it’s done. It has been many moons since BUTLER HILL TACO BELL has done anything but satisfy the cravings of our hungry family/friends. Keep it up please, the world depends on you“
