“Great cheeseburger and fries!“

“I love going to Freddy's. This year was my first time ever treating myself; soon after I was finished with my appointment at #Aspen Dental i thought about it. I had 20 minutes to wait on a Lyft driver so I took a mini stroll through the otherside off Trimble Lol. I will always treat myself. 😌 I had to celebrate my 🙌 🙌 🙌 Oreo Dream Cup like an OreoBlast“

“Great experience ask for Spencer he gives great service and is super nice can definitely tell he does a lot for the restaurant. He was serving, helping people at the counter, seating tables, and still gave great service considering he was busy.“

“The food was hot and as fresh as possibly could be. The service was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean. Our waitress was amazing and the rest of the staff was great. Hands down the best steak and shake I've ever ate at!!!!“

“Super friendly, great food, would recommend to everyone!“

“A more delicious version of freddy’s.“

“I am completing all “100 things to do in Columbia, MO” book (by MU professor Steven Paul Sayers) and I make reels about them on my socials.

We did not eat here just popped in to see it. We are not students and a few years beyond student age so I felt a little out of place but I’m sure it’s all in my head as no one said anything. I would like to eat here and give it a full review.“

“The food is excellent, the staff is kind, the vibe is fantastic! Also, I wanted to come on here and review because your gluten-free menu is incredible! On all three of our recent visits, the staff was so enthusiastic about us eating gluten free, which is not the normal reaction we get. Thank you SO much for the joy you are spreading through your establishment!“

“Why did you guys switch to coke products? Very disappointed.“

“Derric was an absolutely AMAZING waiter. He was attentive and even when he made honest and simple mistakes such as not being able to hear a few things over the Valentine's Day chatter, he was very kind about it. His energy was AMAZING and the perfect thing for our day as it was our friend groups outing to just have fun and have some comfort food since we all grew up with IHOP trips with either family or friends.“

“Greatest burgers on Earth.“

“A Great Burger and Fries“

“I enjoyed this place, a small drive up sit in your vehicle and get some good food and great rootbeer float. If looking for something new or new to the area, I recommend stopping in. I ordered the chili dog and chili cheese fries with a root beer float. They have a jib hamburger that's like a sloppy Joe, pretty good, and several other options worth giving it a try. Just a heads up, make sure to take cash, but the sign said local checks are OK. The building is on the back side of the street, so you might miss it if you are going down the main street. Just informational. Service was great, and the chili and rootbeer is homemade, I believe the lady informed me.“

“Came here on a whim as a stop between KC and St. Louis. It was a good bit off the highway, but I'm glad we stopped in. The service was good and the food was delicious. I got the Country Fried Chicken and my wife got the Philly. Both were very good, especially the fries.“

“Burger was great. Good quality. Not a greasy mess. The waitress came by my table a reasonable number of times (but on the low side of reasonable - which you may prefer - especially for the introverts and misanthropes out there.) Not much else to say. It was nearby and I needed food.

Guy behind me was talking about performing emergency surgery once (I guess he’s a doctor) on a guy with a pierced neck artery (not jugular) where they had to shove a finger in the neck hole to keep him alive and stitch around it. Good stuff.“

“Noah that’s a lie. It would be believable if it wasn’t for the fact that you touched on every area that would make someone leave. Should have stuck with facts. No black music? Mabe they just don’t like rap? Is it racist to not like rap? Do you like country? Do you know any country? If you had a club would there be country music avalible everyday? Prolly not. All good tho. Did you go in the back and confront the manager? Prolly not. Good luck in life son…you need it.“

“In town for the day & this was a great little place to grab lunch. Sandwich was delicious and the place had a cool vibe about it, inside & outside.“

“Amazing food! The Mac n cheese and corn are UH-MAZING.“

“Took grandson to dinner . Order at the register & they bring it to the table .We had a wahlbuger, fries, panko fish sandwich , tiny onion rings and milk shakes .They were out of sweet potato tater tots !Food was very good. Fish was a big chunk . Hard to eat as a sandwich . Hear they have a great breakfast , too.“

“Ate here twice now along with my hubby. Hes never had Burger King before here. I'm very happy to say that Burger King is NOW his favorite fast food Burger spot to date! Says the quality is just so much better. Also our ladies who have taken our orders both times were super friendly. Even brought our food out with a smile and didn't mind to go back in for more ranch. So glad we've converted my hubby to my favorite Burger spot on the go as well. 10/10 will be going back.“

“Are fresh to order and fries are to die for! So good!“

“Just went by to get my free Dilly Bar for completing a survey. Counter person was very prompt, polite and didn't try to sell me anything on top of the free item. He brought one of each possibility (chocolate or cherry shell) for me to choose from.“

“We are giving us all five stars for all areas because this is the best place to come eat the cook on Sundays really puts love in the food one of the best fast food restaurants to get food at in the Columbia area in our opinion great place to spend your money and get great quality ❤️❤️“

“at approximately 5:40 p.m. today I was met with a level of professionalism and courtesy that I did not expect from Sonic Drive-In. a young man with a nose ring to have been the politest and most professional employee I have ever dealt with at a chain restaurant. they made the experience absolutely pleasant and I will for sure be back. having worked just short of corporate management in a large box store, this is the type of thing that shows me someone belongs in management. the food was hot and served quickly and to the letter of instructions. well done.“

“The waiter was great. The food was not sloppy and was cooked fresh. I pay close attention to service, and I noticed that all the waiters there today (6/11/26, approximately 12:00–1:30) were efficient, attentive, kind, and professional. Specifically, the male waiter took wonderful care of my mother.
Thank you, Applebee's!“
