“This location has extremely great customer service and the food leaves me wanting more everytime. I ordered a giant turkey sub on rosemary parmesean and the amount of meat they put on my sandwich was insane! Shoutout to Eric, Cassie, and Brad they work so hard and truly keep me going to this location. Highly recommend to anyone!“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken always hits the spot! 🔥 Every time I come here, the food is fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The fries are always on point, especially with the sauce. That sauce is seriously so fire! I’m vegetarian, so I always go with the cauliflower bites, and they never disappoint. They’re crispy on the outside, packed with flavor, and honestly just as satisfying as anything else on the menu. I love that there’s an option for people who don’t eat chicken but still want to enjoy the Dave’s experience. The portions are solid, the food is consistent, and I always leave satisfied. Definitely one of my go to spots when I’m craving something spicy and flavorful! 🔥“

“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..😊“

“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.“

“The lobby was kept amazingly clean and the hostess (Anita) was vey pleasant and friendly. She offered me a free cup of coffee for dining inside.“

“This Restaurant is a 10 star being the best...Sue was so polite and very courteous....she greeted us on entering waited on us and brought our food out.....She is an asset to your company ..will be back tons of times“

“Went through the drive through, it was super busy but they were moving very quickly and efficiently. When it came to my actual order Arthur in the drive through took it quickly but was always kind and didn’t mess anything up which was a previous problem we had here. The food was tasty and the service great, good job chick fil a!“

“I've been to Chuck's Hot Chicken a few times, and people kept telling me I needed to try Dave's Hot Chicken. I'm glad I finally did because it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the 10-piece chicken bites with seasoned fries and a fountain drink. I wasn't in the mood for anything too spicy, so I went with the mild, and the flavor was on point. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the seasoned fries were just as good. Even though the place was busy, I ordered at the kiosk and had my food in about 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back soon. Honestly, I might even end up coming back this weekend 😂“

“my favorite location. always impressed. always wonderful.“

“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.“

“Very nice and the manger was very nice and cute too“

“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.“

“the food and service were good. I haven't been in one since 1997 or before. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements.“

“We arrived late and yet the team at Five Guys made us feel welcome and treated us to the best burger and fries we've enjoyed in years! We will be back thanks to the great food and the incredible service! Thanks again guys and gal, you're tops!“

“This location is always clean and the food is always made exactly like it should be ! 🤘🤩🤘“

“Pretzel Stop is an amazing hidden gem. They have great pretzels of course, but they also have other great food! Their BLTs are some of the best around and the ham and cheese sandwich is so good! We've gotten many of the pretzels for get togethers and they are always gone so quick! The offer a wide variety of sauces. They have pretzel brats that are very good!“

“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!“

“Went by Raising Cane’s today Saturday July 11 there fryers were down 😢. Went up the road to the fil a place. Boy what a disappointment compared to Cane’s.“

“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.“

“Please come to the Sunshine State😎“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“good“

“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!“

“The only thing that could’ve made this visit better was portion size, ngl expected a little more for the price, otherwise I can’t stress how incredible the service was, I know they have scripts behind the counter but one server in particular made me feel acknowledged and appreciated and that was a worker named Matt, his check-ins on if I needed anything made me feel valued and his constant work ethic made me feel at ease knowing he was handling the hard stuff; moreover, when he stopped by and asked if he could take my tray, I experienced a level of happiness that I can only tie to this fine young man’s strapping build and kind genuine face, I think I fell in love on the spot. When I say butterflies I mean BUTTERFLIES, I wanted to ask him to marry me right there but figured at a Christian establishment that maybe it was best to keep my feelings at bay, but I hope he felt our connection too. One day I hope to build the courage to ask this fantastic boy for his number and maybe just maybe have a future with him.“

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

“I recently tried the sandwich combo at Raising Cane’s, and I really loved it. The chicken was incredibly soft, tender, and delicious. Their sauce had such a unique and tasty flavor, and it went perfectly with the sandwich. I’m definitely going to try it again.“

“Both times I have had them the food has been 🔥🔥🔥 I had the Bougie Burger and the egg rolls and they exceeded my expectations. My new favorite vegan restaurant“

“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.“

“Drive through order. I love Chick-fil-A fried nuggets...the grilled ones are good but the seasoning on the original is my favorite. My husband had the spicy chicken deluxe. He loves spicy and said the sandwich is great! Has a really good spicy tang.“

“For years I have been coming to this location. And its never fells me. The food be good. I love how you added chicken strips & macaroni and cheese. My grandkids love it. And of course customers service is great. And always a blessing to see the workers thats been there a long time. 🥰“

“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.“

“Had the pleasure of grabbing some food from the restaurant and the encounter was great! Was greeted with a welcoming smile. I wasn't rushed by the cashier , he took his time explaining new menu items.He was an absolute pleasure and the food was amazing! Job well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾“

“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!“

“Awesome experience“

“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
Yours lovingly:- @artist_yaswanth“

“They are the Chicken strips of Chick-fil-A. Drive thru is fast. Chicken tenders and fries are always hot. We usually just get the box combo and share. It Comes with 4 Chicken tenders, fries, coleslaw and a drink, one cane sauce. It's plenty for the two of us. But you can get the 6 tenders combo box option if you need more.“

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

“Been there several times, great every time! Different taste than any other subs, very fresh ingredients and actual adults making them! Great service. You feel like they want you as a customer. We will make this place a regular for us!“

“Me and my family came in at a time close enough to the store closing that I would usually avoid coming in but regardless of us coming in so soon before closing our service was exceptional. Daniel and Valerie were so kind that I asked for there names so I could specifically give them a great review. Seriously 10/10 service. I will be coming back to this location specifically because of Daniel and Valerie!“

“Overall this place is amazing, I love the food, I love everything about canes, I would definitely recommend if you want good chicken. The only con about this location is that it’s very cold inside. I would add a picture but I’m not currently there. Hope this helps!“

“Got the Monster Biscuit for breakfast via the drive thru. I took it home and put it on a plate. It is HUGE! Biscuit, egg, ham, sausage, bacon and cheese—what a meal. I don’t think I will have to eat the rest of the day! Young lady who took my order and then serviced me at the drive thru window was very informative and pleasant. GREAT JOB! Thanks, it was yummy!“

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

“I recently swung by the Culver’s in Ellisville, MO craving something familiar and satisfying, and I walked out with exactly that. From the moment you step in, you can tell this place knows how to do comfort food well. The ButterBurgers come off the grill juicy and flavorful, with that signature lightly toasted bun and perfectly melted cheese that make every bite feel like a humble celebration. The crinkle cut fries are golden and crisp, and the flavor of the custard—rich and smooth without being overly sweet—reminds you why this Midwest classic has such solid loyalty. Whether you go with a classic concrete mixer or a sundae piled with toppings, it feels like a well-executed promise of a familiar favorite.

That said, part of the Culver’s experience here is the energy, and it isn’t always calm or quiet. During peak meal times, the dining room can feel a bit like a hub of activity rather than a peaceful spot for a quiet meal. Orders move fast, voices carry, and families and groups can fill the room with a cheerful kind of chaos. If you are looking for a serene place to linger with a conversation, this might not be the ideal choice during a busy evening, but it does lend itself to a lively, bustling vibe that fits a casual dinner or quick bite with friends and family. The staff handle the rush with good humor and efficiency, and even though the place gets busy, the quality of the food rarely reflects that chaos. All in all, it is a solid go-to for dependable comfort food in Ellisville, especially when you want great flavor and don’t mind a bit of friendly hustle around you.“

“I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this restaurant! The food was hot and fast. The atmosphere was very friendly, and the comradery among the workers made for a welcoming visit. The bathroom was very clean! I WILL be coming back, and recommend my coworkers to go there as well.“

“We’re regulars at the Hanley Rd Lion’s Choice, but found ourselves in Kirkwood tonight and decided to check out this location. John Michael and Isaac were both so friendly and helpful. Very well run location 👍👍“

“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.“

“Glad to find this in the suburbs of St Louis Missouri. My son and I like their Mexican food in their Salina location and this place didn't disappoint. However I didn't like the idea I had to wait in the drive through I normally order online but we were on a trip. The food in the service were great! It was great to find this Mexican restaurant on the way to my father's house“

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