I love that they have frozen custard you can grab out of the freezer. The drink station was very clean. The staff was filling the frozen custard and checking productivity.

Their rewards are great and I had earned a sandwich. My plan was to get a OG roast beef plus another meal. The RB came out fine and as requested. The chicken sandwich meal...not so much. I requested it plain, as in no condiments or pickles. Just the bun and chicken. The person taking our order said he understood the 2x I asked. Meal comes out and I see something peeking through. Sure enough its the condiments and the pickles. My husband takes it back up and says it was requested to be plain. I guess they thought we meant original with everything not the spicy. They remake it and bring it back out but this time without fries. I was like don't I get fries? The guy looks at me like I was losing my mind and I said I had fries with my order, there are none on here. Mind you I did not eat the fries that came out originally. He came back again with fries. I try not to complain but I will when my order is messed up like this, I am going to say something.

If there was any flavor there you wouldn't know it. SO SALTY. The pizza was just as bad---maybe the worst pizza I have ever had. It was over cooked and was so salty I couldn't believe it. I'm not sensitive to salt either--haha. This place just isn't for me. I'm shocked it's so popular. Service was super slow too. But I did enjoy meeting up with my friend, at least all was not lost.

Second time in but first time realizing they had pizza! They are included in the Pizza Passport…read moreand 6 of Pizza group were able to make the trek out to Festus for the latest Passport visit. We arrived and were seated promptly, the dining room was pretty full, but they had plenty of wait staff from what I observed. They have changed it up a bit since our last visit quite a bit ago. They no longer have the counter in the back to order and its more table service with a cash register and order station more for to-go and ice cream. Lilly was our server and she was really sweet and checked in on us regularly. Refilled the tea glasses often and helped answer questions. We were able to do individual checks by couple so we could use our passports. Each couple ordered an appetizer; we went with the provel bites. They were smaller than they appeared in the pictures I saw but there were quite a few in the order. They were a table favorite! Buffalo boneless chicken wings were also very good, as was the ranch that came with them. The onion rings were HUGE! They were decent, I like skinny ones so they were just not my type. I ordered the house salad with no cheese, it came out correct and had mixed greens, onion, tomato, cucumbers, and croutons. I ordered the small and it was still a good size. My pizza choice was Margarita, it is becoming a habit! This one was good, puffy, chewy crust and a good amount of toppings to compliment, I dipped the crust in ranch - only if the ranch is good! Husband got a chicken sandwich and he said it was good. I forgot to say they still have the live planters with lettuce and basil and maybe other things, pretty cool. The service was good and the food was good, we will come back

My teenage son saw a viral TikTok of this place and started begging to come try it asap. Now we…read moredon't live nearby so we decided to make a day trip to STL to try this spot and do some shopping. I checked reviews across multiple social media platforms to get a feel for what I was in for. I'll break it down in the simplest terms the pros + cons of this establishment. Pros: Food was hot, fresh, and we didn't wait more than 10 minutes for our order. Prices were ok, in this economy food pricing is all over the place so the fact that our food had steak and shrimp in it I didn't feel we paid too much. There were multiple folks coming and going when we arrived around 1:30pm on a Saturday. This place seems to be heavier on take out than dine in, but both options are available. Cons: parking lot is small and hard to maneuver if you have a larger vehicle. Location is in an older part of STL so if you're expecting a fancy tik tok viral place think again. Some reviews claimed the place was dirty, I feel like the place was not dirty so much as just old. Yes there are some things that make you look twice, but some of the best food I've ever had comes out of places like this. Don't judge the book by the cover. My son was very happy with his orders and all 3 of my kids said the fries were good. See attached pictures and order names for specifics. Overall I gave it a solid 7/10 if fries are your thing. Service at the counter was appropriate.This place taps that market and it's a simple product with delicious toppings. The fries were fresh, grease wasn't old, and the vibe was "We are all here to try something new that we saw on TikTok or we live around the corner and got the munchies and this place is . " If you find yourself in STL and want to try something different give it a shot. Don't let the neighborhood or decor chase you away. The food is delicious.

But overall, the burgers were super juicy, large and flavorful.

I wanted to love this place. I really did. But it was not meant to be…read more Unlike some other reviewers we found the staff to be quite enjoyable and personable. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, some empty tables when we left. We ordered the fried green bean appetizer to start after reading good reviews on them, I ordered the breakfast burger and my table mate ordered the sticky burger. When the burgers showed up about 20-25 minutes later we were asked if there was anything else we needed. I had to say yes, we were missing the green beans, but at this point we'd just go ahead and cancel that order. No problems. I won't go into details about everything but to point out the negatives that happened on our visit, my bun was relatively burned. Anyone in the kitchen could have caught that and taken a few minutes to grill up another. It took only about a minute for the bottom bun to succumb to the wet burger patty and become a squished piece of wet dough. The other big downfall, and this isn't much the fault of the business, but the place is a cacophonous mess. It doesn't come across perfectly in the video accompanying this review but the place was LOUD. We had to raise our voices to hear one another or speak to the server. Not somewhere you would go to comfortably hang out with someone, sit and visit for a few. Five stars on the whole, one star ding for the few things mentioned. But it's not a total loss, I'm sure we will be back for a second visit and to give an updated review. Maybe I'll try something other than a burger, we shall see! Ciao!

She was so sweet, and an amazing chef. My milkshake certainly tasted like love, and it was absolutely delicious. Burgers were amazing as well, a little salty but with the milkshake, perfect.

We had a burrito/enchilada combo and the Pollo Asado rice bowl. The burrito was huge, and the rice bowl was enough for 2. The restaurant is clean, well maintained. You order and pick up at the counter. Fountain drinks are self serve. There is a salsa station with about 6 choices. They have several specials-taco Tuesday, for example. Their prices are comparable to a sit down restaurant, but maybe a bit more than "lunch specials'. There is also a drive through. I hope they figure out the Android app thats advertised on their website and cups. We'll return, and it's nice to have rewards!

I ordered online and arrived 30 minutes after placing my order when the app estimated my food would be ready. Then I sat for over an hour until my food was actually ready. Staff said "sorry" and went back to work. I was excited to patronize Abelardos but they're not ready to serve customers yet. The upgrades they made from Jack n the Box cleaned up the property. Although you can see some of the old paint and the floor has some old damage. Fresh Tortilla chips were good. Queso was spicy and yummy. Burrito was ok but mushy inside. Couldn't tell if there was cheese or chicken in it. Taquitos tasted like paper.
