    Lazy C's Grill might have "lazy" in the name, but there's absolutely nothing lazy about the flavor!…read moreFrom the moment I walked in, the place had that perfect mix of hometown charm and sizzling-on-the-grill goodness that makes you instantly hungry. I went in expecting a simple bite and left wondering why I hadn't been coming here all along. The food is exactly what comfort food should be--generous portions, cooked with care, and packed with flavor. My meal came out hot, fresh, and clearly made by someone who knows their way around a grill. Every bite tasted like it was crafted with pride. The staff deserves a shout-out too: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy you're there. Izzy was great!! They make the whole experience easy, relaxed, and enjoyable--just the way a great local grill should feel. Whether you're craving a hearty burger, a plate of perfectly seasoned fries, or something smoky and satisfying off the grill, Lazy C's delivers big-time. It's the kind of place you try once and immediately add to your regular rotation. Lazy C's Grill gets an enthusiastic thumbs-up from me. If you want great food in a laid-back environment, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back for more!

We enjoyed a variety of individual orders and the service was outstanding. Even with desert, we were able to arrive at the funeral home in plenty of time.

    Stopped by Jolly Cone On The Current and ordered two cheeseburgers, fries, and root beers. The…read moreservice was quick, which was a plus, but the food was underwhelming. The cheeseburgers were average at best, with dry buns that didn't seem very fresh. The fries were decent, but nothing standout. Overall, the prices felt inflated compared to the quality and portion sizes. Based on that, we decided to skip dessert and head elsewhere for something more consistent and reliable.

    TLDR: If you're driving by and you want something better than McDonald's or Subway, then this is…read morethe best place to stop!!! I drive from TN to MO often and I have stopped here many times when I am coming through van buren, specifically for a banana split or a cherry sprite which are both great. The food is good and worth the stop! This little joint is the most authentic Van Buren experience you're going to get! The reason I am truly writing this review is because we made a routine stop today and my little 18mo old son fell in the parking lot (in true little boy fashion he just got ahead of himself and tripped) well he ended up scraping both of his knees pretty good. As not to cause a scene, my wife took him over to the side to comfort him while I looked for some napkins to clean up his knees. Before I could even get back to them the owners were standing with my wife with some basic first aid supplies and bandaids making sure my little boy was okay. This was above and beyond customer service and I really truly appreciated it. Very kind people 10/10 will be stopping again real soon.

In the dining area, several tables were in need of wiping, and I later noticed a napkin and a couple of stray fries on the floor under one of them. Had I seen that before sitting down, we probably would have chosen another spot. Ordering through the app was easy, and the food was brought directly to our table by a cheerful crew member, which was a nice touch. Everything arrived hot and properly prepared. Mrs. K. enjoyed her Filet-O-Fish, remarking that it was as good as any she's had elsewhere. My chicken strips were crisp, flavorful, and served piping hot. The sweet tea, however, was a disappointment. It tasted more like sugar water with coloring than actual tea, as if someone had shouted the word "Tea!" at the cup and called it good. Overall, this McDonald's was convenient and average. The service was friendly and the food met expectations, but the cleanliness of the dining area and bathrooms left something to be desired. It would not be my first choice, but it worked in the moment. I've certainly been to better McDonald's locations, and I've also been to worse. [Review 1449 of 2025 - 456 in Missouri - 25002 overall]

While it is annoying constantly being told to pull forward and I have had a couple times where I've waited 10-15 minutes for something simple, the employees are so kind it makes up for it. Every employee is beyond friendly and makes it easy to want to come back!
