  1. 1

    Burgers · Brentwood

    Carl’s Drive-In

    ★★★ · 3 forks Casual · $

    Carl’s Drive-In is a quintessential counter spot run by the same family for generations. You absolutely have to get the IBC root beer served in a chilled mug. It’s a must. Just remember, it’s cash only!

    Burgers · South City

    Stacked STL

    ★★★½ · 3.5 forks Casual · $$

    Stacked STL is a solid burger spot near Carondelet Plaza, and they just opened a second location in the Central West End. I love that they focus on quality, and it's a great addition to the area.

    Burgers · Richmond Heights

    Hi-Pointe Drive-In

    ★★★½ · 3.5 forks Casual · $$

    Hi-Pointe Drive-In is a solid burger spot from the folks behind Sugarfire Smoke House. I feel like the quality of the burgers has dipped a bit since they started expanding, but it’s still a fun place to check out.

    Burgers · Lindenwood Park

    Jovick Brothers Burgers

    ★½ · 1.5 forks

    Jovick Brothers Burgers is a small, local spot that I was really excited to try. If you're in the area and craving a burger, definitely stop by, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The cheese curds were way too bread…
