Great area. It's cleaned up from the last time I visited St Louis, mo. Jasmine was a great help.

I came today and got lunch for the 1st time in about 4-5 months as the last few times I came, it was chaos, no structure and the staff was rude to poing that I decided not to go back again. But I went today as I did not have my vehicle and KFC is in walking distance, and I was pleased to see a new mangaer Devon/Demon (I can't quite remember but one of those was his name). There was a cashier named Briana as well. These people were friendly, courteous and professional. They even went as far as to say thank you for giving us another chance to serve you. IT WAS FANTASTIC A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE! KUDOS for having such amazing staff like these young people, they made this trip for lunch very enjoyable.

I don’t often eat fast food and even more seldom do I leave reviews, but I stopped by here yesterday in a hurry and had a great experience. Sierra (Ciara? Not sure how she spells it) was behind the register and she was lovely, attentive, went the extra mile, everything. She was kind, she made sure I got exactly what I asked for, and she was very friendly. This lady deserves a raise, only because of here would I come here again!

It was pretty quiet there which I like personally but the drive thru was very busy. So it did take a minute for someone to take my order inside but it was no big deal. The customer no service was good but you can tell they were having a rough day. I will still go back again the food was great and filling.

At my time of visit it was not busy. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Within walking distance of my hotel and the neighbourhood appears to be safe. The service was quick.
