50 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Lake

“I visited this new Jersey Mikes today and I will say they are absolutely rocking out with their service. They were friendly and quick to get my subs out and their chicken bacon ranch was the bomb. Definately my favorite sub shop in Lake St. Louis.“

“One of our favorite go to restaurants. Always delicious food and a very generous rewards program! Highly recommend.“

“Just got in off our flight and stopped by to grab a bite to eat before heading home. The young kids working there were so organized, polite and prompt. Their efforts did not go unnoticed and they are very much appreciated.“

“Got a case of them cheeseburgers 🧀 🍔 to go,I was born in 55, born around St Louis area, so I had awesome memories of eating out at 2 places, and White Castle was one of them when I was a little critter. Something about them little burgers and don't forget the Crispy Onion Rings..😊“

“I swung by for a quick bite and I kept it simple with a Chicken Sandwich, Nuggets Meal, and an order of Waffle Potato Fries, and each one was fresh and satisfying. The Chicken Sandwich was juicy with that classic seasoned breading and crisp pickles that make it so good every time. The Nuggets were tender on the inside with a nice crispy coating on the outside. The Waffle Fries were hot, crunchy, and perfectly salted. Even though it was busy, the staff stayed friendly and moved the line quickly, and my order came out accurate. It was just an easy, dependable meal that tasted exactly how you want it to.“

I know what I’m picking in the future.“

“Typically I recommend you guys, but whoever was working the meat slicer Dec 19th clearly needs a long enough break to take their prozac. Ive never had a Lion's Choice Roast Beef crumble out the bun entirely when picked up. It was more diced up than Taco Bell Meat.“

“Their burgers are consistently good, they are polite, and they don’t take forever. That’s a rarity these days… the double onion mushroom melt is really good!“

“1/13/2026 Guy up front was awesome! He needs to be a manager if he isn't. Walked me through a doordash order process, got the order prepared on time and was so nice about it! Couldn't ask for better service. The place was clean. Kitchen was immaculate. I'll take every dash I can from here.“

“Great food, the only thing that sucks is they are not always open when they are supposed to be and it takes about 30 min most times to get the food, but great taste that is fresh is worth it.“

“I had the chance to check out Dave’s Hot Chicken in Chesterfield, Missouri this past weekend, and I ended up going both Saturday and Sunday. That alone should say a lot about how good the experience was.
One thing that really stood out to me right away was how they opened their doors to support our Army Reserve unit. They made it easy for us to come in, get a solid meal, and stay within a budget of under $14 per person. That’s not something every place is willing to work with, and it showed a lot of respect and appreciation for service members. It meant a lot to me and the team.
Now let’s talk about the food. Dave’s Hot Chicken lives up to its name. The wings are hot. If you like spice, this is your spot. What I liked most is that it is not just heat for the sake of heat. The flavor is there too. The seasoning is on point, and you can tell they put effort into making sure the food actually tastes good, not just burns your mouth. Even going back the second day, the quality was consistent, which is something I always pay attention to.
They also had a great selection of food and drinks. Whether you want to go all in on spice or keep it more mild, there are options for everyone. That makes it easy if you are going with a group like we were, because not everyone has the same tolerance for heat. No one felt left out, and everyone walked away full.
The service was another big highlight. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. Even with a group coming in, they handled it smoothly and kept things moving. You could tell they cared about making sure we had a good experience. That kind of customer service goes a long way and is something I do not take for granted.
The restaurant itself was clean and well taken care of. Tables were wiped down, the floors looked good, and the overall atmosphere felt organized. It is one of those things that might seem small, but it makes a big difference when you are sitting down to eat.
Overall, this was a great experience. Good food, strong flavors, fair pricing, and a team that knows how to take care of their customers. The fact that they supported our Army Reserve group and worked within a budget just made it even better.
I would definitely come back again, and honestly, I probably will the next time I am in the area. If you are in Chesterfield and want something with real flavor and a little kick, Dave’s Hot Chicken is worth checking out.“

“Awesome experience“

“The customer service, attention to details, and food that I received from the black taller young lady, the younger shorter young lady, and one of the cooks is top tier! These three went above and beyond and were extremely kind, patient, and professional (I am somewhat picky). The young black gentleman with braids needs some lessons in customer service as he comes across as rude every time - this was my third interaction with him. Because of the other three, I will return because the food has been consistently fresh. Thank you!“

“Great staff and food! I highly recommend this location.“

“One thing that really stood out during our visit was how polite and professional the staff was. Their customer service felt genuine and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The chicken sandwiches may not be the cheapest around, but the quality of the food definitely stands out. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared.

It’s also refreshing to see a business stay true to its values and traditions. Overall, it was a very positive experience and a place worth visiting again.“

“Food was delicious and service was great. I wasn't always impressed with this location, but they have improved so much in the last year.“

“I fries and tots it’s really amazing taste and I tried a different type of sauces smoky rice sauce, famous fries sauce, and jalapeño rice sauce it’s really crazy and amazing taste but a little bit atmospheric I didn’t like, but that’s fine

“My wife wanted Lions Choice for lunch on Mother’s Day. I commend all the men for being friendly hard working employees and giving the ladies off to enjoy the day with their children. Good job guys.“

“God bless the men and women of Chickfila, besides when the occasionally forget items of your order, which isnt that often! Great service, very quick, theyve definitely got the fast food model down. The only complaint is, ADD LARGE WATERS TO THE APP!“

“Five Guys came through again with another juicy burger with lettuce, tomato, and lots of grilled toppings!❤️❤️“

“I haven't been to a White Castle in years, since they aren't where I live now, and had a craving. So while I was passing through I stopped at this location and had a great experience.

They were busy for lunch but the team was friendly and crushing it. Kindly apologizing for the small wait time even while being the only one on the grill. And the food was hot, fresh and excellent! It was exactly what I had hoped. If management sees this, give this team some props!“

“such awesome wonderful employees especially managers Char and Kirrie. I would give them 10 stars if i could.“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“Came in drive thru after another terrible wendy's experience and the experience here was like night and day. Immediate response from the drive thru, friendly people, food made fast, GOOD food. A pleasant reminder that fast food service can still be nice at night. I hope everyone on that shift has a wonderful and easy rest of the night 👋“

“I noticed this location one day heading to mall. My husband enjoys hot chicken so i told him there was one closer than Chesterfield. We came here on a Saturday evening. They weren't busy or crowded. We were able to place our order right away. We waited about 10 minutes for our order to be completed.

The food was hot, fresh, and had the right amount of spice. I ordered the #3, which came with one tender,one chicken sandwich, and fries. I opted to go hot. The spice was there but no to over powering on the chicken tender. The sandwich for some reason was hotter than expected. The fries were cooked perfectly, and the pickles are always so delicious.

There's plenty of seating inside, very clean, and staff was very friendly and ensured all the orders were correct!“

“good“

“Very good, but expensive.“

“Stopped by for dinner while out of town for a work trip. I walked over from our hotel, ordered, and walked the food back. Happily sat down to enjoy dinner with my wife only to find that her bunless burger was missing the beef! They remade it for me after I walked back. The food tasted great, but what a frustrating experience!“

“This is the most favorite roast beef sandwich of our whole family. We are there so often the friendly staff knows our names. When our younger son and his family fly in from California, their first stop after leaving the airport is Lions Choice. We have their “ Bon Voyage” at Lions choice right before they fly back to California. We love this place. Always friendly. Always fast. Always delicious! Always a winner!“

“We were passing thru this area at lunch time on 4/20/26, and decided to stop at Five Guys as none of us had ever had it, and my husband was wanting a burger. We were all apprehensive as we're fairly used to dirty restaurants, subpar food and poor customer service at fast food locations. This Five Guys location was the opposite of all of that! Restaurant and restrooms were clean, nice indoor/outdoor seating, all employees we encountered were very friendly and helpful, and food was outstanding! We mentioned while ordering that it was our first time eating with this franchise, and the kind lady (braids and glasses-wish I could include her name) cooking on the grill said she would make sure to make it good, and she did just that! All hot, fresh and delicious! We all said wish there was a Five Guys closer to us. Everything was great, but what was most outstanding was the employees. The are definitely an asset to your business.“

“I went to SA DQ just now. I was wanting $7 meal deal, which I've been seeing with multiple selections all 2 patty burgers. I got 1 patty. The menu board only showed 1 & girl said that's all there was - crispy onion. Then why are there others advertised? Anyway, I got burger w/lett, tom, must & ketchup. NO cheese, but I got cheese I didn't want. I was charged extra for lettuce & tomato. Most places chg you the difference of the drink & a shake. I was charged $3.99 for sm shake.. clearly not the difference. My $7 meal went to $12. Total ripoff!“

“Just went to Raising Cane's in Chesterfield, Mo and the food was hot and fresh, but the thing that impressed me was that the workers were caring people and that is a reflection of the manager. She was out on the floor greeting people and cleaning off tables instead of being back in an office and not helping out. I felt that this location is very well managed every time I visit.“

“Best meal you’ll have at the mall! Hands down! 💯👍🏻🐔“

“Food is on par with what you'd expect at a fast food restaurant. The chicken is tasty. Fries are ok.

It's usually surprisingly busy in the evenings. Can be a bit on the messy side. Not a bad place to bring the kids to for an easy meal, though.“

“Freddy's is our go-to now that Steak and Shake has imploded. I am a veteran so I was really impressed with their veterans day free meal card. I was able to take advantage of the veterans day options and come back to Freddy's later. Burgers are outstanding and I really love the shoestring fries. I didn't have the custard but there was a group of kids that did and they seemed to enjoy it.“

“Very friendly and courteous staff, every time I’ve gone there but especially today. They should be commended for their efforts!“

“Very nice job 👍 Cake just excellent job 👏“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“I used the mobile through today. There were so many things done right today. Hot and fresh fries. Correct order. Delicious food. Best fries, probably, I've ever had at a chick fila. Definitely worth stopping at this one. Fresh food and quick to get you on your way. This one does it right.“

“Arby's got this mint shake, and I don't really drink mint ice cream it is not my flavored but here at Arby's, it is just right not so minty but it has a light taste of mint and it is good. I love their big size crinkle cut fries. And I also love their turkey sandwiches. The meat doesn't make me feel like I just had a candy rush shoot through my body like most meats. I still feel good after eating their meat.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“

“We had a great experience today for lunch all due to our cashier Karen! She was super friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. Thanks to everyone at the MH location. Keep up the excellent work!“
