Root Beer & Cardinal Soda in our frosty mugs!
Tammi B.

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.

Toasted Ravs
Sandi M.

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!

Dreamscicle float
Brittney R.

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.

Superman Float of Steel
Maggie H.

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.

No bottle burger with cheese and pickles only
Mark M.

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!

Gooey Looey Float
Kayla P.

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.

Root Beer Float

Ordered the root beer float and what a surprise. Had to share with my friends it was delicious,

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!

Chili dog
Danielle M.

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.

Nutella float
Kyra B.

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.

Free soda
Margie L.

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.

Paul P.

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

Beautiful, delicious and fun root beer floats!

It was very kid friendly too. They had books for kids to read at the table, which was a nice touch, and the whole place had a relaxed, casual feel. It is a little pricey for burgers and fries, but overall we had a good experience.

You order at the counter, and then your food is brought to your table hot and fresh. I ordered the Double Burger with cheddar and all the fixin's, along with some of their special sauce. I also got a side of the sweet potato tots and the "Oreo Speedwagon" milkshake. My burger was cooked perfectly and loaded up with toppings, and their special sauce is light and mustardy. The sweet potato tots were warm and crispy, and the milkshake washed everything down perfectly. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to visitors and locals alike. Be sure to read the historic plaque on your way in, too!

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch. But for the other 2 in our group, we walked out super satisfied.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up

Ultimately I had to try a burger and fries and they both met the high expectations I had going into this place (they're described as having the best smash burgers in STL). The beer was good - cold, crisp - you can tell the draft lines are clean. However the most impressive thing about this establishment was the staff (Jen & Kristen, maybe?). Efficient. Courteous. Very friendly. Treated the guests like an actual guest. Very well done. If I had to offer a criticism about this place, it seems if you don't sit at the bar, you have to place your food and drink orders at the bar (rather than having a server). I do believe they run your food though.

The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF.

I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back.
