Absolutely delicious! The chicken tenders are HUGE and made in house with really high quality chicken and such a tasty breading. Loved the cauliflower bites! They're super crunchy and yummy. Awesome service and very welcoming family environment. Ice cream was super yummy too. We will be back!

First time my husband and I visited this restaurant. We got a patty melt, fish &chips, fried cauliflower, tea, malt shake with hard shell chocolate and a small twist chocolate dipped ice cream cone. Everything was fresh and delicious. Samantha was a super server with a bubbly fun personality. We will return and bring more family and friends. Clean and simple decor.

Young’s Dairy Mart in Valley Park is a cozy spot with some classic diner vibes. The food presentation gives a solid impression of comfort food done right—simple burgers, fried sides, and hush puppies served fresh. The space itself feels nostalgic, with a mix of retro counter seating and old photos on the walls. Great service and tasty food.

A hidden gem in Valley Park, MO only the locals know about. It's a great place it's a local ice cream burger eatery fresh and clean. A family favorite which has been a local favorite. When I'm in the area is rather go here for that smash burger than other national chain. It has a counter like an old time ice cream shop. I'd give it a shot you won't be sorry.

We absolutely love this place. Cheap, but amazing food! They actually have ice cream sodas! The burgers and cheese sticks are some of the best I've ever had. Such a cute family owned place that's been a community staple since the 50s!

Hoped to try their renowned chicken but they were already sold out that day, so settled for a cheeseburger and holy wow....it was amazing. Also got a twist cone, but want to try every ice cream combination on their menu at some point. I can't believe this was my first time visiting but definitely will not be my last.

I know this place had been around for a long time. I found out about it around a year ago and can say this might be the best burger, chicken, and staff in the city/county. I am almost positive they couldn't mess up their food if they tried.

Going to Youngs is like going to my happy place. Everything is so good. My family and I ended up here on the search for a twist cone a few years ago and the twist part was broken (it's fixed btw) they have excellent malts, shakes, dip cones etc.but I stayed for the burgers, the Chicken and everything else that makes this family owned business a weekly destination. Get the chicken strips I dare you ,they are huge and delicious. Great prices to take your whole family without having to sell a kidney.
