We stopped by Fitz's and had a great experience! They make their own root beer along with several other house-made soda flavors like cream soda, strawberry, and orange--definitely worth trying. For food, we ordered the turkey sandwich, Bottler's Burger, and the French dip. Everything tasted really good and came out fresh. Our waitress was excellent--very attentive, helpful with suggestions, and made sure our drinks were always full. The restaurant has a fun, old-time feel that adds to the overall vibe. We really enjoyed the food, the service, and of course, the root beer. Great spot to visit!
The best! A hot spot for me and the kids. The food is alright, but you come here for the drinks! Parking can be located around the block, wait times can be long. We typically get there right when they open to beat the crowds
I got picked up by my travel sidekick at the St Louis Airport after an early morning flight from Austin. We hit a couple of iconic locations for photo opportunities. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard wasn't open yet so we moved on down to Fitz's. While not technically on Route 66, it was a great start to our epic trip. Frosty mugs of their sodas and great comfort food kicked this trip off in a big way. Our server, Gezelle, was great. She met our energy and made our stop memorable. The atmosphere was nostalgic and the bottling facility at the back of the restaurant just added to the fun. Anytime I come back to St. Louis, this is a must!
It's been years since I've been to Fitz so we decided to give it a try again. We made reservations and when we arrived (albeit 4 minutes late) we were about to be immediately taken to the table but then the other hostess told the one with our menus to wait. We sat for quite a while, at least 10 minutes plus and asked if we could sit at the empty booth nearby. The hostess said yes, we're saving it for you. We were thinking it needed to be cleaned or something but it never was. Others came in and were seated and we asked again and then finally were seated at the booth so I'm not sure what was up with that. They were notably crowded and our server Thomas came over to get us started. He was very busy but kudos to him for being attentive, making sure we had everything and having a great attitude. The food came out quickly and I ordered the Sunshine burger and it was fresh and pretty good (just needed a little more salt) and the fries were very good. The strawberry shortcake float I subbed with Rootbeer and it was just too much for one person so I packed my ice cream to go. Unfortunately they didn't have a kid size. That ice cream was REALLY good and the shirt ready cookie in it was delicious. 3 meals and 3 floats cost $92...yikes, but we enjoyed our meal and the lovely atmosphere.
My partner and I wanted to try their Valentine's Day special so we cancelled reservations to another restaurant for this experience. I will say 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, a float, 2 bottomless sodas, and two bottled sodas for $60 is a good deal. However the entree left a lot to be desired. The green beans were bland and some of them were cold while oddly others were warm. The steak was supposed to be a NY strip, I'm not a meat cut connoisseur but I don't think that was actually the cut of meat. The steak came out pre cut and had some pieces that were well done and some medium, with again a lack of flavor (I rarely like to salt my food but I heavily relied on salt and pepper for this meal. The service was attentive even thought it was busy while the ambiance was lively. Would go back to Fitz's again but not for this specific special... t ravs were delicious!
Old fashioned soda shop, where they bottle their own soda. They have an antique bottling machine in the rear, with glass windows to watch. They have so many options and flavors, besides the classics. There is also a wide food menu. Building is two floors and used to be an old bank. There is merchandise for purchase at the entrance, and outdoor patio seating. Our waiter was friendly and patient with our large group.
Another good experience. This time I told them I would be dining in and I was given a glass mug rather than a to-go mug. Communication is key. This time I ordered a Superman float... or is it called Man of Steel? Whatever it is called, I think it was strawberry ice cream, blue raspberry soda, whipped cream, and a red fruit rollup. It's been years since I had a fruit roll up. I recommend this float. Minus one star because it took longer than expected not only to order, but to have the order taken. The employees were occupied working, but I also felt like I was not seen for a few minutes.
I've been to the south county location many times, but this was my first time at Delmar. We stopped in for floats, our server was very kind (absolutely a 5 star server- I truly wish I could remember her name.. she had blonde hair and I feel it started with a J or G). The restaurant itself though was very sticky - the floors, the table, the menu, it just didn't feel super clean. The gooey looey was FANTASTIC. My favorite float that I've ever had.
We love Fitzs! It's a STAPLE for when you want great food with big portions, a sweet treat or visiting St Louis. Our waitress was awesome and accommodating to my almost three year old son. I LOVE the turkey wrap and there's a ton of options for kids (even picky eaters). At this location they also have a bottling plant inside which is cool to watch!
The ambiance gave nostalgic. I walked in and it was huge. The place is 2 story so i ate on the second floor. The workers were great! They were attentive and kept checking up on me. My food was delicious and filling. I got the chili dog.
The ice cream floats are what makes the spot shine! We came here for a birthday celebration and it was a good spot for the day! The food is good, but like I said, the floats are what keep us coming back. I have been coming to this spot with my family regularly for over ten years and I don't anticipate it stopping anytime soon. A nice casual spot to sit, chat, and enjoy the loop.
A bottling co.for me a great place for family to come in,dine and watch how soda are capped.The hardworking staff are friendly,greeted as when we walked in,not everyday we walked into an assembly of different flavored soda and watched how they go to a machine and how fast it get capped is amazing.Very thankful to the gentleman at the assembly line gave as a sample of free freshly capped soda.It was really good and refreshing.Of course we have to try the rootbeer float.Four scoops of delish ice cream on a cold best tasting rootbeer is a mind blowing fizzy pop.

My daughter and I were shopping. We wanted go there since we were hungry. We sit outside patio. Nice patio. My daughter ordered hummus platter. She said it was very good. I had falafel burger with onion rings. They were very good. I had ginger beer and she had berry pop. Thank you for delicious food and hospitality read more
Fitz's is always a really great place to take your family especially with young kids. They have an expansive menu, lots of seating, the food comes out quick, and let's be honest...everyone is really there for those insta-worthy floats. They have a million flavors of those as well. The food is pretty average but I do like their burgers and the portions are huge. They upcharge you $3 to split the shakes but it's honestly soooo worth it. Your kids don't argue and they don't have to share toppings! read more

I stop at Fitz's every time I go to STL. The root beer is great. They also have pretty good food. Was pleasantly surprised to learn that you could build your own case of drinks. I purchased a variety of drinks to bring home to the family. Check it out if you are in the area. read more
I think this place is nostalgic for a lot of people and it's cool to say "St.Louis's very own Fitz's soda." But not being from here I can only rate it on what it is. And what it is, is depressing. The place is pretty run down and the food is not very good. The soda floats are the only redeeming aspect so stop and get one of those but avoid basically everything else. read more

When you come here, floats are a must! I actually don't remember the one my husband had but it was very chocolatey and he loved it. I ordered the 'Swifties Afterglow' which was a Shirley Temple topped with vanilla and strawberry ice creams, whipped cream, and berry drizzle, served with a commemorative limited-edition bottle. It was HUGE! Both of us did not finish our floats but they were very good and some of the best I've had. I also do not remember what my husband ordered other than it was a burger that he enjoyed. I ordered the 'Grand Coney' which was a charred quarter-pound all beef hot dog served open-faced on a toasted hoagie roll then smothered with house made chili, Colby Jack cheese and red onions served with breaded onion rings. I normally do not like Chili in general, but it was actually quite good. It was a good size meal, didn't finish all the onion rings but good meal overall. The service was prompt, friendly, and informative. The restaurant reminded me a lot of 'Fountain on Locust' which I reviewed the other day. Very old-school soda fountain place. I love that. I would definitely check this place out again, but 100% try the floats. They are worth it! read more
I've eaten here many times and have always been more that satisfied with our experience. The burgers are great as well as the plate dinners. The service is always friendly and helpful. The dinning area has a cool industrial feel, is two stories and has a view of the bottling plant. My favorite part is the Fitz root beer on tap served in a frozen mug. Would recommend a visit. Only complaint is that depending on the crowds there can be a wait to get in. read more

I haven't been to Fitness in years because I typically don't go around that area too often. However I was in the area and wanted some appetizers so I decided to check it out. It wasn't crazy busy when we got there however it did start picking up and the waitress that was working dead and amazing job at shuffling through all the tables by herself. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with the option of upstairs and downstairs. We only got apps and grabbed a couple of sodas, which I had the strawberry sodas always ago and it is bottomless so that was great. The toasted rags were very tasty and the dip was nice and fresh! Highly recommend both‼ read more
From Chicago, first time at Fritz's with my college aged daughter. Here are some thoughts: --My first time drinking Fitz soda, and I thought it was good! I ordered the root beer, nice and sweet, the way I like it. Big plus--it came in a frosty mug : ) --Lots of seating, it was a Sunday afternoon and the NFL games were on tv, service is good too. --I ordered the pulled pork nachos appetizer for my meal. They have a fun spin on nachos with baked beans, made it sweeter. Fitz's barbecue sauce is also sweet. Not a ton of pulled pork, but the chunks were tender and tasty. --We ordered butter cake for dessert, reminded me of cheesecake taste, with graham cracker crumb crust. Nice touch! --I walked by a few tables and saw that they all ordered burgers, which looked really good. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Sugar paradise! If you come with the mindset of fun ice cream floats that also has some food, you will not be disappointed. As a newbie this was recommended for dinner by many moms. Kids will love it. You can split the massive float for a small fee. I'm more of a foodie and not big into sweets so personally not for me but happy my family enjoyed it. Everything is sweet. Honey mustard tastes weird. Bbq sauce is good and sweet style. Service was good and fast. About $120.00 for four people. read more
Solid American fare. Our server, Angel, was the friendliest EVER, even though we were super annoying and came 30 minutes before the kitchen closed. That brings this place up from a 3 to a 4 star. Someone at our table spilled their beer (which by the way was a wonderful IPA), and it was quickly cleaned and replaced, just like that. Tried toasted ravs here for the first time and it was crispy, warm, beefy, and delicious. The marinara it came with was standard and good. I also tried the fajita quesadilla, which was okay. It wasn't super flavorful, but it was very cheesy, had a good amount of chicken, and a pretty decent portion size for just being an app. I would love to come back just to try the floats though, they look SO good. read more
My girlfriends and I were visiting St. Louis and we had dinner at Fitz's Delmar last night. We had a marvelous meal! Special thanks to Ashley S, who took AMAZING care of us in the upstairs bar area! She gave us a warm welcome when we arrived, and we chatted about how we were enjoying our first time in the area. She was very friendly and took time to guide us through the menu, and gladly took our requests for modifications to our meals. She checked back during our meal to make sure we were happy with our food and drink, and cheerfully answered the periodic questions we had. She kept my friends' "bottomless mugs" of root beer and cream soda filled, and gave me good recommendations for draft beer. All our drinks were yummy; I especially liked the Shock Top Belgian white ale. Served with an orange slice, it was light and citrusy. Very refreshing! I had the street tacos (with fish) and they were extremely tasty; Ashley offered a side of pineapple in lieu of the usual sides, and that was a perfect pairing with the tacos. My friend who had the patty melt (with coleslaw side) said the meat was delicious on a sesame seed bun (rather than the Texas toast), and the coleslaw was quite good. My friend who had the fish and chips up-sided to sweet potato fries, which were HEAVENLY! We all got to share them, which was a bonus. :-) Our meals were delivered quite quickly, and everything was hot and fresh. The ambience of the restaurant has an airy, welcoming and fun vibe. The downstairs front area is open to two levels, and from the upper bar area we were able to look out over it. The downstairs bar still has the old draft beer tap. Our dinner at Fitz's was a PERFECT first meal in St. Louis, and we really appreciate the hospitality! It will be one of the favorite memories of our trip. Thanks so much! read more
We went early on a Sunday, got there about 10. Sad the bottling stuff wasn't running but didn't expect it on a Sunday. My son really wanted to see it. The foods came out quick. Son had 2 big mugs of root beer. I love that the server brings you a fresh mug each time. Overall good experience. read more

Fitz is a local burger root beer & ice cream store with two locations. It's very popular for their outrageously large floats. This is my second visit after a two year absence. My lunch visit was at their Delmar Loop location off the WashU Campus. I was seated quickly once I entered. My friendly waitress had menus and got a drink order. The dining room was full on my weekday encounter. Everything appeared clean. My order was a single cheeseburger & fries. I asked for a recommendation on a few floats. I settled in on a S'more's cherry soda float. I decided on an app last second and got the pretzel bites. My float and pretzel bites hit within 5 minutes or so. Wow, it was both stunning and intimidating. You cannot let this monster melt. So I was all over it in a bit of a frenzy. The pretzel bites were so good! My burger and fries hit within 10 minutes, or so which was excellent! However, I felt compelled to stay on top of the float to get it under control. The burger was just ok, was lukewarm by the time I could get to it. Fries were ok. I felt the food was mediocre. I would likely return. 3.5 rounding up. read more
