    French fries, with Friday special. The perfect texture and consistency
    Kendra L.

    Dairy King is a must stop location. They have any kind of food you can think of on their menu, and they have ice cream as well, let's not get them confused with Dairy Queen. I enjoy going to Dairy King, they have two locations one in Trenton and the other is right down RT50 on Breese. However I have come to know this location very well, as the staff is always so friendly and their service is always quick. They have a drive through, dine-in(with outdoor seating), as well as the option to call in orders for pick up. This is a family owned business, it often reminds me of the old TV show cheers, where everybody knows your name. The food is always fresh and tasty. They offer daily specials throughout the week, and also offer happy hour. I love their cheeseburger with fries and a side of Nacho cheese typically but on occasion I will venture out and try somthing different. Today I got a philly cheese steak, which was to die for.... no pun intended, with fries, which are crispy and full of taste, the inside is a nice, warm full of burst potato when you bite into it. Yum. The inside of the Resturant brings me back to my childhood, you order at the counter then they call your name when your food is ready. There is ample seating on the inside and out. It is pretty roomy. The staff is very helpful here, and always remember you when you come back, which is nice. I forgot to add one thing Dairy King is known for is their Ski Slushies, you can pick any flavor to put in there, just like any slushie. You can even do a different soda of choice as well. However ski is a soda bottled and made right down the road in Breese at Excell, and it is so so good. It's a citrus soda, but made with real sugar cane. When I order mine I do half frozen/half regular ski. It is the perfect consistency. The soda doesn't get watered down with ice, and your slushie isn't all ice after drinking a few sips. Plus it lasts awhile. Another one of my personal favorites is Blueberry ski. All in all I highly recommend Dairy King to anyone, don't let a long line scare you, they move quick, and remember they're nothing like dairy queen. If you get lost, just look for the penguin trash cans. Or the little penguin signs, then you've made it. Oh and one more important note. They do take cards, but they charge a card fee.

    Ski -  local drink. Like a Mountain Dew.

    Stopped in another local joint! Right at 11 and the dual drive through was packed!! And I was one of those lucky ones to line up early. They had an extensive menu with plenty to choose from. Prices were very good since this is a small local place. Ordered a double cheese burger and a local favorite "Ski" for the beverage. Not a big soda drinker but had to try it. Much like a Mountain Dew but bottled locally and is the favorite in this area. Both were very good. I actually got my lunch very quickly and they ran it out to my car since it was ready before the persons in front of me, so I was able to get out of line and enjoy lunch without waiting. Did not go inside as I was heading to the airport. I'll stop back in when in the area next time. Good food... good mood!

    A perfect weather day... for a penguin!

    A locally home-grown joint that you won't find anywhere else. Love the penguin out front. We stopped in at lunch time and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Menu is very large so right away I knew that there must be a lot of frozen and pre-made foods but took a chance and was not disappointed. Wanting something light, we went for soup and chili, some fried pickles and soft drinks. They admitted the chili wasn't home-made but it was still very tasty as was the chicken noodle soup. Pickles were OK - maybe a little over-cooked. Lastly, the place is very neat and tidy! I'd definitely stop again next time I'm in the area.

    Banana Malt

    Ok, this was our 1st time and it won't be our last. We went to Trenton to pick out some lights and decided to stop at The King to see what all the fuss is about. The menu is extensive and a bit overwhelming so we stuck with the basic Double Cheeseburger, Fries, Onion Rings, A Banana Malt and Lemonade. These were the best burgers around. JummHot and Juicy. The fries were crispy as well as the onion rings. The Lemonade was Real Lemonade!! The Banana Malt was so good make sure you get it with Real Bananas. There are 2 locations one in Trenton and one in Breese. This place was so good even the Hubby said he would drive the hour to eat here again... We have a Winner!!

    Blue Raspberry Ski!

    This is a great burger and championship fries. A definite stop if you're in the neighborhood and worth a trip from St. Louis.

    Grilled chicken bacon Caesar wrap is amazing about 75% of the time. Would be 5 stars if made more reliably.

    When people ask why I Yelp, places like this are the answer. Without Yelp, there's zero chance I…read morewould have eaten here, and yet it turned out to be a fantastic option as we were driving down I-70 towards St. Louis. We were headed to the airport and I searched for a 'diner like' place just off the interstate around an hour away. I came across Powhatan, and while the outside didn't look like much in the photos, the food looked great and the reviews were excellent. I bookmarked it, and sure enough it didn't disappoint. The outside is a basic restaurant attached to a hotel/motel. Think side of the road bare bones motel. Honestly, if I hadn't read the reviews I would have just kept on driving. Inside was very nice - not fancy but very bright, clean and welcoming. There was also a small slot machine area off to the side if that's your thing. I ordered the Pocahontas Pride, which was chicken friend steak, two eggs, hash brown casserole (I opted for plain hash browns) buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. I think it was $15. And it was enough food for two people easily. Very good, and very filling. My daughter ordered boneless wings (I tried a couple since there was too much food for her) and she and I both loved them. I'm normally hesitant to order wings outside of my normal places, but she will order them anywhere and she gave them great praise. She also added 1/2 order of onion rings which were both great and ample - I thought they actually got the order wrong there were so many. Wife wasn't feeling well, so she ordered a simple order of hash browns and liked them. All in all, a great experience for a quick stop during a long drive. Again, without reading the reviews in advance, I doubt I would have ended up at Powhatan. But I'm glad I did!

    We make this drive from St Louis every couple of months. Their breakfasts are huge!…read more They have quite a large selection of breakfast meals, as well as lunch and dinner. Their service is always perfect! Servers are attentive, and the food comes out quickly. It's an older restaurant, and the interior is rustic charm! It's probably better for our waistlines that they aren't closer! Check them out! You can play slots after your meal! Look for the photo of Pocahontas local Gretchen Wilson on the wall!
