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.“

“Average and as expected. I tried the new chicken slider and will not have it again. The double cheese sliders were lots of fun. Drive thru was slow and they did not allow me to use my watch as tap n pay. Their reader was “stuck to the wall”…..so…big fail there.“

“I’ve been eating at this Chick-fil-A since they opened and I have never had a single issue. Today, however I may have ordered something a little complicated when I got home the food that I received wasn’t at all what I ordered I went in and spoke with the manager.I believe her name was Patricia . She was so kind and explained to me the error that happened and how it happened. Rather than just give me some pickles to fix the issue and tomatoes to fix the issue. She wanted to make sure that I had warm hot and fresh food to feed my family.

Chick-fil-A is known for having the best customer service out there, but I want the recognition to go to those who deserve it. This is the best Chick-fil-A I’ve ever been to. I am leaving an and you can see all of my reviews. I am very honest about everything. Keep up the good work you guys are amazing.“

“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.“

“love their fried Chicken and Catfish. Always welcoming and great food.“

“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.“

“Awesome experience“

“chick fil a is the best, tastiest, fastest, friendliest fast food and most efficient operation in town by a mile. Highly recommended and I encourage you to check them out. Food was hot and fresh like always.“

“Sarah who works at ellisville is amazing she sweet kind made r experience wonderfu im on one leg due to tendon issue and she rushed to bring me a drink so I didn’t have to walk she helped us with r order with the sweetest attitude please get more like her“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Chick fil a chesterfield. My oh my. Where do I begin. I am greeted with smiles when I walk into the building. When I bite into the chicken, I get a colorful burst of flavor that no other chick fil a can compare to. The fries are fresh and beautifully fried. The sauce is the sauce. Most importantly, BRADLEY. Best man I’ve ever met. Once, he saved my cat from a burning building. I also watched him prevent an accident in a nearby intersection. It could have been bad. But most importantly, he gifted me a DoorDash bag because I DoorDash. Truly amazing.“

“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 👋“

“good“

“This was the first Lion’s Choice I ate at probably around 40 years ago. This particular spot has always been my favorite although I frequent many St Louis area locations. Today was especially nice because Faith was so kind and helpful. All props to Faith and the management team that hired her. 5 Stars for Bridgeton Lion’s Choice“

“Very good, but expensive.“

“I often have a good experience here. However sometimes there are not so good experiences. The ladies on shift the morning of Veterans Day were pleasant and speedy. However i was asked if i wanted pickles on my order when there wasn't an indication i didn't want them. Please just stick to the order as placed in the app and make things easier for all... Good job otherwise“

“Clean restaurant. Inside and out. The food was spot on. Frys was perfect. I got 2 burgers and they was great. The staff was friendly and kind. Restroom was clean.
Miss Rebrada was the manager. She's friendly and all in on the job. It's really hard for me to have a good experience at a fast food place these days. Today it made me feel happy to eat somewhere that goes the extra mile.
I respect a place that's doing everything good. Today, they got a new customer!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very nice job 👍 Cake just excellent job 👏“

“Went today with my two daughters, it's their first time here. They loved the food and Dom has an amazing attitude and customer service. Thank you Dom for making their first experience amazing. Thank you for the great customer service.

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“This was our first time having Dave’s Hot Chicken. We had the two slider meal and loaded fries. We liked it. It felt a bit salty to me (that is personal preference because my family didn’t find it salty). The chicken is tender and full of flavor. I loved the sauce and after taste. Yummm! The portions are good and the veggies are fresh! I prefer a crunchy pickle 🥒 but again - personal preference.
The restaurant is clean, the wait time is acceptable given how popular it is, staff are friendly and welcoming. We will be back! My son loved his meal!“

“Thank you so much for hosting such an awesome fundraiser for our school!!! We look forward to lots more events and opportunities to to work together! -Kara Corson PTO President of Pattonville Heights Middle School“

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

“This is undoubtedly the best Lion’s Choice I’ve been to. I always had excellent service, and the staff is always busy showing how popular it is with the locals. The store is very clean, and the food is top-notch for a fast-food restaurant.“
