Hi-Pointe Drive-In Cottleville — Restaurant in Cottleville

I wanted to try this location out and compare it to the few others iv been to.

I stopped in here a little before 7pm on Thursday night.

I have never been to this location before but its pretty easy to get into the parking lot and find off mid rivers mall drive.

The outdoor patio seating looks great for a nice night. Inside was very clean and it wasn't too busy. I walked right up to the counter and placed my order of a friso melt with egg..and added their drink and fry deal.

At just above 19$ for it all it was just a few cents off from the chesterfield location.

The food came out rather quick and looked delicious as I had waited all day to enjoy a meal to myself.

The Frisco melt was well put together and held its shape the whole meal. I don't enjoy when your eating a nice burger with an egg and things are falling out as ya bite.

The fries had a nice amount of seasoning.

They have soda products from Excel bottling company which is made just over in breese illinois. Lots of different choices of sodas that are very locally made.

They have a drive thru in case you want your food to go.

Inside was really nice and clean and it wasn't too busy. I did see an employee cleaning a table just after some customers left so they seemed on point with keeping the seating area clean.

They have your ketchup..mustard..mayo.. special sauce on the table along w napkins

It was another solid meal done by hi-point.

I'll try more locations and see how the atmosphere for sure. I have been to 4 out of the 9 hi-points so far.

Been a very happy customer and hope to enjoy more meals...

#DateNIGHT continues Today, we do a "re-do" on our burger experience. 🍔

This spot claims to have the #best fries in the universe. Burgers are there claim to fame.

Very nice atmosphere, very nice decor. Perfect location for Cottleville residents. Even spots for your golf cart.

We had the Toklahoma burger and fries, Mac and cheese, kids burger slider, and strawberry shortcake shake.

Toklahoma is their take on the Oklahoma style burger. It was delicious. I got the LTOP on the side. It's was so hot it burnt my tongue. 2 crispy smashed burgers cooked with mustard and smashed into thinly shaved onions. 1 negative. Some of the onions had too much char on it, making some bites bitter, but it was an amazing half pound burger.

Fries were good. Seasoning was nice. Not the best in my universe but a very good fry. The best was that pink sauce on the table. OMG So tasty 😋

The wife's slider was great.

The mac and cheese dish was sauce and soft noodles. It's not really worth the price. It was seasoned but cheesy and not cheesy at the same time.

Strawberry shake was so dangerous 😳 ☠️ You could just sip and sip, and before you know it, it's gone. The crumbs on the side were perfect.

Sad note, no onion rings. Also, our cashier didn't seem so motivated. He seemed either high or just didn't really care. 🤔 didn't really know flavors and was not well versed in describing the menu items.

Overall, it was a great spot to visit. Bunch of #SWAG you can purchase and very clean and comfortable environment.

tl;dr-- Long wait times for food and service brought down what otherwise would've been a perfectly fine, albeit pricey burger. Consider only doing dine-in, waiting until very off-peak hours, or calling ahead for carry out. Minor cleanliness concerns regarding the shakes.

To touch on some specifics--

The food: The burgers were freshly made with ample portion sizes. They were a tad overcooked and either too greasy or salty depending upon the person, but overall all right. For the price, I hoped for more. I have higher hope for single patty burgers though.

The fries: Frozen, I think, but they were good considering that. Portion size was enough to split between two people.

The shake: All right as well, with plenty of mix-ins. The largest issue with the shake was that I received it 25 minutes before my to-go order was complete, thus causing it to 'water down' so to speak.

I certainly would have preferred to receive my food sooner, or my shake at a closer time to my food actually being cooked.

The wait time: I would not consider doing takeout without doing some form of online order or call in next time. It was 30 minutes between paying and receiving all of my order.

The staff: Friendly and busy but they seemed very on top of things. They were good.

One more minor gripe: The shake station itself didn't appear super clean, and I was minorly squigged out about the can of stainless steel cleaner chilling next to the...
