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..😊“

“Went on Tuesday April 7th and the franchisor was there….best Chick-Fil-A I’ve ever had! Would love to know whenever he’s there.
Then the girl working the drive through handed me my bag of food and said “have a good day”, which is normal, but I had ordered drinks, so I said “oh sorry I ordered some drinks”, which she followed up with “I know, we’re making them now”. Got me confused, but anyways, shout out to that franchisor.“

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

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

“Please come to the Sunshine State😎“

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

“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!“

“Great customer service and they have unbelievably great pretzels! I have tried every pretzel shop in the stl area and further and no one compares! They are made fresh everyday and you can tell compared to other stores where they are hard and old.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My experience was great. I’m going to shout out John. The service was incredible, John was very friendly while taking our order and told us ahead of time that the some sodas were not working. He didn’t give any additude while we were ordering.“

“I go here sometimes when I'm in the County visiting a friend or relatives. I admit the employees are great and amazing. The food is great. I feel bad for the employees when they stand out in the cold at times but otherwise this place great. Keep up the great work guys.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Everytime I come here every one is so nice. The staff, the cooks, the customers, very friendly, all the time! I'd say all the food is great, but it's just chicken, toast, and fries. They think their own sause is so good they don't carry ranch...or pickles. But if you want some chicken strips, toast, and/or fires their is no better place around!
I do miss the pickles, tho...“

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

“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.“

“Awesome experience“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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

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

“When you're craving White Castle, nothing else will do! I actually drove from Texas to Illinois, and one of the first stops I had to make was White Castle. I've eaten there before, and I've been craving those iconic little sliders ever since.

There's just something about those steamed buns, grilled onions, and classic flavor that keeps calling me back. The sliders were every bit as good as I remembered, the fries hit the spot, and the service was quick and friendly.

Some people travel for steak or fine dining—I traveled for White Castle sliders, and I have zero regrets. The craving is officially satisfied... at least until the next road trip! 🍔😄“

“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 👋“

“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.“

“good“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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)“

“Very nice job 👍 Cake just excellent job 👏“

“i’m not even exaggerating when i say i genuinely love Chick-fil-A like it’s actually ridiculous how happy it makes me 😭 everything about it just hits every single time like the food is always fresh, the workers be nice for no reason, and the whole vibe just feels clean and calm like you not stressed eating there. and don’t even get me started on the chicken… like why is it THAT good?? crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned every single time like they don’t miss at all.

and the fries?? them waffle fries got a HOLD on me fr like they be soft on the inside but still got that little crisp on the outside and when you dip it in the sauce… yeah it’s over with 😭 and speaking of sauce… chick fil a sauce is literally top tier like nothing else compares idc what nobody says. i could eat that with anything and be satisfied.

and it’s not even just the food fr it’s the feeling like going there just be comforting in a weird way. like it’s one of those places where you already know you not about to be disappointed. it’s consistent, it’s good, it’s reliable, and honestly that’s rare these days 😭

like if i had to pick one fast food place forever… i’m choosing chick fil a without even thinking twice. that’s not even a debate.

OH AND LET ME SAY THIS ABOUT THE SERVICE THOSE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING NOT EVEN GLAZING OR LYING I LOVE THEM ASWELL THEY ALWAYS GET MY ORDER AND DOORDASHES RIGHT!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Very good, but expensive.“

“I came here on my lunch break to grab a quick bite, I was immediately greeted at the speaker by Alan who you could tell was extremely pleasant and truly passionate about customer service and his career! I was treated like family during our 2 minute interaction. Once I arrived at the window the great customer service continued with Johnny! He was kind, efficient and quick! My food was ready by the time I pulled around and everything was hot, fresh and correct! Thank you so much to these two men for restoring for my faith in society! I will definitely be back and the manager is clearly doing something right!“

“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“
