Great food, great service, creative and delicious shakes, and the overall restaurant experience is incredible!

Chelsea H is by far the best waitress here!! She is determined your drinks never go empty. Incredible and speedy service all with a great attitude! Next time I dine here I will most certainly ask for Chelsea H service!!

I was really pleasantly surprised with the burger here!! The smash patty was super well cooked and flavorful and there was a plethora of fresh lettuce, onions, and pickles on top! It was served on a soft potato roll, which I personally believe is the best burger delivery option. The burger stayed together (no falling apart) and every bite was a good balance. I also got onion rings, which were super flavorful but a little soggy, as the breading fell off a bit. But the onions themselves were super sweet! Also, shoutout to my servers! They were super attentive and helpful.

The Freak Shakes here look amazing, but we couldn't pull the trigger because of the price. Twenty-ish dollars after tax! Vincent Vega would be rolling in his grave if a) he were dead, and if b) he were an actual person and not a character in a Tarantino movie. Instead, we got a regular shake (vanilla with whipped cream) and a scoop of cookies and cream on a cone. They also sell beer here, which you can take out of the restaurant and drink all around Union Station. That's pretty neat. When you enter, they ask you if you're dining in or just getting it to go. The to-go menu is a little different than if you're sitting at a table. Mostly, the to-go area is for simple scoops of ice cream in a cup or cone, regular milkshakes and malts, root beer floats, and alcohol. If you want food or a fancy Freak Shake, you need to dine in. There's also a candy shop inside the restaurant, with all kinds of candy and sweet treats, but mostly modern candies. You can also get bulk candy by the pound ($14.95 per pound).

This place has a great vibe. The railroad themed soda fountain is cool! It took a bit to get a table, so we were starving. I ordered a burger and fries. Nothing crazy. The burger came out 5 minutes before the fries, I think they missed that part of my order. The burger was underwhelming. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. The atmosphere was definitely the best part of the dinner. Decent food, good service.

The most memorable and amazing thing I remember from my first trip to St. Louis in 2019 was the BLT. so I had to come back one last time before my Best Friend moves outta state. So we ordered a BLT and shared it, cause we both remember how huge it was. It was so delicious. Just as I remembered it. We also ordered fries and shared those as well. We both ordered malts. Our server was super friendly and cordial. And of courit had the feel of an old school Soda Fountain Shop.
