50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Imperial

“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.“

“To the one who said she had no meat!!! Lmao. They have cameras and see everything!!! Someone trying to get 2 for 1!! This subway is the best . As well as their other locations, Pevely & 141 Astra way.“

“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'm not usually a fast-food person, but when I'm in a hurry, Jack in the Box's tacos are hard to beat. Four tacos for less than $4.50 is a great value. They're hot, crispy, and satisfying when you need a quick bite without spending a lot. If you're looking for an inexpensive snack or light meal on the go, they definitely hit the spot!“

“Okay so why does nobody do fast food Italian?

I almost never write fast food reviews but these folks were so friendly and we were so surprised by the value that a review seemed absolutely required, hard plastic benches and all.

Fazoli's was new to me, but they are a chain that seems ubiquitous in the Midwest. They mostly offer Italian style food to go. This is much faster than a traditional Italian experience (and wasn't the food quality we experienced on the hill) but it was definitely good food for an exceptional price. We both ordered spaghetti one with meatballs one with meat sauce, our order came with breadsticks also and the total food cost was less than we paid for our coffee earlier in the morning.

The folks at this specific store overheard the discussion about not having been there before and were exceptionally friendly and engaging.

If you are a local you probably know all about these and likely have strong opinions one way or the other, if you haven't seen this before though you have to give it a try.“

“Big shout out to this Chik-Fil-A team. Everyone was exceedingly kind and helpful. We had an issue where the app bugged out submitting our order and Donna was able to help us out (perhaps something for corporate to look into- it tries to track your location instead of just submitting your order and then it got mad because it had a competing screen where it was trying to get you to agree to something so instead of tracking our order it ate it). The order meant a surprising amount to my husband so he was greatly relieved when they were able to fulfill it despite challenges.
I also saw them helping people by retrieving high chairs for parents, the children’s play area was a great success with our 2yo and the entire place had a lovely, welcoming vibe.
Just a great experience.
Thank you so much! Well definitely be back (:“

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

“You can never go wrong with Raising Cane’s! The food is always fresh, the chicken is hot and crispy, and the Cane’s sauce is unbeatable. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the service is always fast. One of my favorite places to grab a quick meal!“

“I love the atmosphere and food.“

“If everyone in the world were as nice and kind as the people working at Chick-fil-A, we would have world peace.

I’ve visited the Chick-fil-A in Arnold, Missouri, many times, and it continues to impress me. Even during the busiest lunch rush, the drive-thru moves with impressive efficiency. The staff is consistently friendly, upbeat, and genuinely helpful—exactly the kind of service Chick-fil-A is known for, but this location takes it to another level.

A team member named Mathew went out of his way to call me by my first name. He noticed that I used the restroom shortly after enjoying my delicious meal, took the opportunity to ask my son what my name was, and remembered it for our next visit. That’s very impressive, considering how many customers he serves each day!

Definitely the best fast-food stop in the area. Oh, and the chicken is great too!“

“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!“

“Best White Castle I’ve had in a really long time. Very pleasant and the food was ready almost instantly and it was awesome. I don’t live close to this one but it’s my go to every time that’s how good it is. I think it’s crazy how tipping is nowadays but this crew earned it and then some. Thank you guys so much for what you do because everyone knows working in fast food is not easy by any means so thank you.“

“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“

“The Burger King where I live sucks so we were hesitant to stop here, but it was right off the hwy. The food was so much better, the drive thru girl was super cool and nice, definitely not like other Burger King's that I've experienced.“

“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.“

“Short on staff. But friendly and attentive.“

“When we pulled up at the drive-thru, the person talking through the speaker was very rushed. He barely even heard anything we said and rushed us to be done ordering. We didn't even say that we were done ordering and he immediately said our total and said to pull up. The food was good but everything was sort of soaked. Half the napkins were unusable because they had already soaked up all the grease, but the rest of the staff was nice.“

“My sandwich when I got home! 🤯🤢🤮“

“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!!..“

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

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

“Customer service was top notch!“

“This location is incredible! Not only is the environment & timeliness great, but so are the employees. Shoutout to Nick for hooking mine & my uncles pizza up. He genuinely cares about the pizza being good & the customers too! Thank you Nick!“

“Samantha took our order. Very short obvously she showed not very pleasant customer service. After order was taken i noticed she was cuttn up and laughing with other employees. Next customer came to order and same thing. A frown and short with them too. I don't think customer service is her cup of tea. We all have bad days. But the cutting up with coworkers, and short with her guest shows, obviously where her head is at. My order was wrong when I came back in the store. But she wouldn't even walk up to the counter. A guy from the back came up and fixed it food was okay. It's been better“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“I was low on shields and stopped by this sonic, got some mozzarella sticks to heal up and they asked me if I want ranch or marina to which I simply refused. These mozzarella sticks were not for recreational use, purely to maintain peak male performance. Upon receiving my order, I was blessed with not 1.. not 2.. not even 3.

But 4.“

“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!“

“Shout out to Josie and the crew that was there at 1am this morning! We just got home from 14-hour flight from Japan and were starving. I placed our order online as we left the airport, but forgot to change the time we'd be at the restaurant. I called and I'm assuming it was Josie who answered (got her name from my receipt) - she was so sweet and accommodating and said she'd hold the order until closer to 1am. When we pulled in, they were in the process of making our order. The food was hot, fresh, and they definitely didn't skimp on the portions! You definitely don't expect that good of service from most places a this hour. Thanks so much, Taco Bell crew!“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“My Freddys experience was very special. From the second I walked in the establishment I was greeted by a smiling beautiful face. His name was Jace and I believe he is the love of my life. As I got my food he made a remark that he left me a special surprise in the bag. But he left more than just a fry like I assumed. He left his number and the feeling I had about him was right. I lOVE Freddys and will for sure be back. Also the cleanest bathrooms in fenton but not after I was done with it lol.“

“I dont go out of my way often to leave reviews but when I do its because someone did something right. Let's just say they did the damn thing! From thr counter to the door i felt l8ke i was walking up to my nieghbors backyard bbq, I will definitely be back!“

“Just wow...the staff goes above and beyond. The food was hot and fresh..the entire restaurant looked like it just got power washed. The staff was very helpful and friendly and respectful. I wish that I could give them 6 stars but the most Google will allow is 5...so excellent 5+outta 5 🌟 stars. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the Arnold area give a bite to eat 😋“

“Order from here all the time, and it is one of the best White Castle locations I've been to on a regular basis. I've never had an item missing from them, the food is well prepared and served hot. Service is friendly, present, and positive.

Occasionally can be slow, but that's the nature of the industry. Ordering delivery consequentially isn't any better alternative really unless scheduled well in advance.“

“After my previous experience with location 1500025 I was really not looking forward the interaction with a previous employee. Tanner has singlehandedly has changed my mind about visiting this location. He was professional and polite, a true credit to your corporation. This young man needs to teaching others how to take care of customers on a corporate level. I didn't get to interact with whomever made my double mushroom and swiss burgers, but those were the tastiest burgers that I have had from Hardee's in a long time. Stellar team!“

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

“I came to this restaurant 4/29/26 just as it was closing and was greeted by Jamilla. I thought she would tell me they are closed but she smiled warmly and said they are still open and made me a delicious subway sandwich. She was very patient, but also very efficient, kind, and diligent. Having worked at subway I can say you are blessed to have her on staff. - LW“

“This place used to be run by the nastiest owner on Earth. He would skimp on the toppings and yell at people for using the restroom or getting refills. Luckily, it’s under new ownership! The new ladies who own it are much friendlier, and the store is finally clean and well-stocked. It’s crazy what a difference new ownership can make!“

“Reviewing the food at McDonald’s is a bit like reviewing the weather, you already know what you’re getting. You either like McDonald’s or you’re not reading this review. The real question is whether this location knows the assignment.

The answer is yes.

Located just off a major interstate exit, this restaurant serves a constant flow of travelers, yet the drive-thru keeps moving. I’ve never sat through one of those mysterious lines where nobody seems to move for five minutes. Orders are accurate, food comes out quickly, and the operation runs smoothly.

The interior has the modern McDonald’s look, with kiosks doing most of the ordering. If you’re determined to order from an actual human being, they’ll still happily take your order at the counter.

The biggest compliment I can give an interstate McDonald’s is this: I’d have no hesitation stopping here on a road trip. The dining room is clean, and, perhaps more importantly, the restrooms are clean and well maintained.

Places like this are really pass/fail. Nobody expects a Michelin star; they expect clean, fast, and accurate. This location earns an easy A.“

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

“The cashier Abigail was awesome !! Made my visit exceptional !! I'll be back as long as she's there !!“

“I used to go to the Subway in Gravois Bluffs because it was convenient, service and quality was mid at best. Popped in this location one day and was immediately impressed. The restaurant is incredibly clean, the young ladies working were very nice and the sandwiches were the best I've had from any Subway. Ingredients are very fresh and the sandwiches were assembled nicely. Needless to say, I drive out of my way to go to this location.“

“I don’t wanna say I don’t recommend this location but if I’m paying $30 bucks I should be getting $30 worth of food. The girl who did my order for the meat portion should work at chipotle for how little she gave me. I get it there’s budgeting but I remember a time where I was always satisfied with my Qdoba order. Not today.“

“Worker named “Laura” used her tips to pay for my pizza when I had no money, nothing to eat, and nowhere to go. She is truly the sweetest and a great worker. She is always willing to do anything she can to make this establishment a better place!“

“The food court at South County Center is a convenient place to stop and grab something quick while shopping. There are several options to choose from, so it’s easy to find something for different tastes. The seating area is usually pretty clean, and there’s a decent amount of space even during busier times. Like most mall food courts, the food isn’t anything super special, but it’s good enough for a quick meal or snack break. Overall, it does its job well.“

“Alex is the man, if you want a good customer experience come here and he will take care of you! He made sure I got plenty of sauce, and was very friendly and had the food out in a timely manner... Keep it up alex, you should be running that place in no t8me“

“Every time I visit this Taco Bell drive thru, I am absolutely blown away by the incredible service from this young man, Andrew. He is consistently polite, deeply appreciative, and always goes out of his way to thank me for coming. He wraps up every single interaction by genuinely wishing me a great day. Honestly, his energy feels like a literal ray of sunshine. His mom definitely raised him right! Taco Bell is so lucky to have him on their team.“

“The service here is great, however, the food quality control is questionable. I ordered a Mexican pizza and a crunchy taco supreme to-go. I opened it up when I got home for dinner. The taco was good, but the Mexican pizza was spoiled. The tortilla shell was rancid and tasted like stale cardboard. It was noticeably past its expiration date. I threw the whole thing out, since it was inedible and I didn’t want to get food poisoning.
I went back the next day after speaking with the manager that day and she said to come in and they will provide a new Mexican pizza. I was able to get another Mexican pizza that tasted delicious and was not spoiled.“

“Stopped in for dinner. I ordered at the kiosk but everyone was very nice. Food was good and everything was correct ( I ordered something with sunstitutions and add ons). I love the music at this location although the AC was on full blast and I was pretty cold“
