I've been coming here since I was a child and I still continue. It's a father daughter tradition. Best thin burgers and fresh root beer in St. Louis!

Delicious burgers with crispy edges, great fries with ketchup for dipping and good chocolate shake. Extra seating out side is nice because inside is only two counters. The only other thing to know is it’s CASH ONLY :)

Carl's is a must try for anyone in this city who appreciates a good burger. It's small and crowded, but that's part of the experience. Everyone who works there is amazing and super kind and patient. The burgers are world-class for sure! Be prepared to wait, be patient, and enjoy!!✌️

Just awesome

don't let bad comments deter you from this place, yes there are a few seats and few parking spots but the burger here is to die for. I have never had something so simple yet so perfectly cooked. No wonder this place has been around forever. Love it and cant wait to come back!

One of the best smash burgers I've had, so good!

If I walk in to grab a burger is it normal to get looked at like I’m covered in excrement? Or was Miss Rainbow hair just having a bad day. Only there for a minute, didn’t even order food. Wouldn’t even give it a chance after that. Good work Carls.

Carl’s is everything a local spot should be. They’ve had some of the same staff for decades, the burgers are flawless and go immediately from the flat top to you at the counter. A legendary staple of the community.

Irreplaceable. One of the perks of coming up in this town was having a buger joint like Carl's.
I’ve had great meals around the world in iconic places, Michelin Star too. This is pure joy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Counter is bar top height. It's an older building. Would not recommend for traditional dine in seating for those with accessibility needs.

Well, let me tell y’all, this diner right here is somethin’ special. Walked in, and it felt like home—just the right amount of clatter, chatter, and the smell of the grill workin’ overtime. Ain’t no fancy frills, but that’s how it oughta be.
The burger? Juicy, stacked high, and cooked just right, with a bun that held its own ‘til the last bite. Service was quick, and the folks workin’ there treated me like family. If you’re lookin’ for good eatin’ and friendly faces, this place is where it’s at. I'll be back, no doubt!

Carl’s is an institution and if you love burgers and root beer then Carl’s is not to be missed. The burger I had was perfectly cooked and had crispy edges and juicy in the center. We arrived at 1:15pm and waited 20 min to sit down and worth the wait.
