50 Best Burger Restaurants near Riverside

“We were only in the area for a short time but my family was very happy to find Tree Hugger. What a great place with great food!“

“OMG. We just had one of the best burgers EVER. 🍔🔥😍 Tay’s Burger Shack in North Kansas City — how have we lived here 12 years and never tried this place?!? Grass-fed beef smash burgers. Perfectly seasoned hand-cut fries. And don’t even get me started on the Sriracha ketchup. 🔥 It’s a tiny spot with awesome retro vibes, but the flavor? HUGE. 👏 Burgers come out fast, even during a packed lunch rush. Absolutely worth it. We’re already planning our next trip back. Pro tip: Go hungry. And get the fries. Always get the fries. 🍟🇺🇸 #KCBurgerScene #TaysBurgerShack #SmashBurgerHeaven #SupportLocal“

“Burgers are good, onion rings were excellent. Last time we went, they were out of onion rings. This time, we called before we went and was told they had onion rings. Twenty minutes later as we were placing our order, we were told they just ran out of onion rings. We left. How do you run out of onion rings? It’s really simple. If you consistently run out, order more. We will not be going back.“

“The Town Topic Hamburgers early morning 5am crowd is truly one of the last great American dining experiences. The three egg cheese omelet with shatteringly crispy perfectly cooked hash browns was a transcendent experience, and I wasn’t even hungover. The atmosphere and professional staff lend further into the experience as one that is both memorable and delicious all around.“

“Absolutely incredible burger and service. This team served 100 burgers to folks with Down syndrome and their families at one of our recent events. They refused to be paid. Everyone at the party LOVED the burgers and the kind staff - thank you, thank you, thank you.“

“In August 2021, Hamburger Mary's Kansas City reported that the establishment would require proof of COVID-19 vaccination. I assumed the requirement had been lifted; however, I wanted to be sure I was prepared (I am vaccinated; my friend is not). Not to mention, I work in an academic/healthcare setting where masks & vaccination status are a daily consideration, so it's something still on my mind. Therefore, I sent Hamburger Mary's a very quick question via Facebook. Attached is a photo of the response I received. My question was in no way impolite, so I'm not sure why the business felt the need to say anything other than no. I'm not easily offended, but I also don't appreciate being spoken to in such a snarky manner for what I considered a perfectly reasonable & respectful question. I was really looking forward to visiting (and donating to a worthy cause!), but I have decided to celebrate my birthday elsewhere.“

“onion rings and fast service“

“We stopped in there tonight and everybody was really friendly and all the food was really good. Would recommend it to anybody that wants to have a good old fashioned experience.“

“The service was on point and that double burger basket was just what I have been used to as a kid. Great place in a small space! If you are around here, I recommend it! : )“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“I came from NC and am currently staying in KC for a while. One evening, after working late and feeling pretty hungry, I headed to a nearby burger spot called Winsted. The server was incredibly kind and welcoming. I ordered the Double Winsted and onion rings—and they were exactly what I like.

Most local American burgers tend to be a bit too heavy for me, but Winsted keeps it simple and really nails the basics. And the onion rings? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Besides Gates, this has become my new go-to spot around here.“

“It's more about the trains and atmosphere rather than the food. Food is meh deep fried nuggets, hot dog split into a hamburger bun etc. however the displays and trains make up for it. Perfect for kids though we enjoyed this location more than the one in Shawnee.“

“Had a great lunch today at the bar with Kylie. She was very personable & fun to talk with. We had the French Dip & the KC Cuban. Both were amazing. They have a very expansive drink menu. Last and not least is the history of the building and the vault!“

“Great chili! The burgers are awesome. Always get a triple!“

“My daughter vegan and myself non vegan enjoyed this restaurant equally. Amazing food and service. I can’t wait to return 💞“

“Best burgers in town and a very fun and good energy atmosphere. Got my daughter addicted to the curly fries and burger.“

“The wings were yummy. Tried the Birria Ramen and honestly... it was just ok.
I wouldn't recommend it.
The hibiscus cocktail was tasty and the added floral garnish was a plus. Customer service was friendly and personable.“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Service was super friendly, food was made fresh on the spot. The restaurant is the cleanest I think I've ever seen compared to town topic or other burger shacks.

Food was delicious and seasoned well. We got a double cheeseburger combo with fries, and an italian sausage kahuna. Spent about 35 before the tip.

10/10 would come get more food from here.“

“Fast and friendly staff. Food was hot & fresh, delicious and the wait time was short. Best fries I've ever tasted. Great food!“

“Amazing food and customer service!“

“I love whataburger. I live somewhere where they don’t have any. I first had it as a child, 30 some years ago, in Texas. Found this location on our annual trip to Colorado and it brought me right back to ten years old. Exactly the same. So good. Now I go every year.“

“Best fast food ever. Being from Indiana we don't have any Whataburgers close by. So yesterday while I was on a work trip I spotted this Whataburger and had to stop. Totally made my day. Staff was extremely nice. 10 out of 10. Great job guys.“

“Cannot beat the experience here. Atmosphere impeccable. Food was INCREDIBLE. Drinks, uh espresso martini? You cannot have just one. And Edgar, do not get my started. My waiter Edgar completed the experience with the upmost quality service I’ve had. Will always visit when I’m in town“

“You’ll see different reviews, and this one is a more positive one. Genuinely depends on the staffing that day in my opinion.

Our food was great! We ordered very quickly and when we even needed additional condiments they offered them with no charge.

Portion sizes are smaller but i think it’s adequate for the prices they are. It tasted fresh and the pink ranch is something different to try!

I’d come again is provide another try and recommend to others!“

“Yummy juicy burgers and the best onion rings!“

“Excellent fried Brie & service.“

“Food better than McDonald’s for sure … I love their fries … I’ll be back“

“very friendly staff, make you feel at home and plenty of laughs,food is excellent, servers are the best and the most gorgeous girls around, bartenders are also awesome!!!“

“This was my second visit here. Great cheese burgers and fries. Decent prices.“

“Probably the best sandwiches in kansas city you have to try the cuban missile!
Awesome breakfast to go starting at 6 am, and I think they're open all the way to 1:30 AM.
All the truckers in the West bottoms go there.
And of course the locals...“

“My wife and I stopped in for the first time in a few years. We were seated after a bit of a wait. It is after all a Friday night in a shopping district. Our server was bright and cheery. She had a warming smile and happy persona. we placed our drink order. Shortly thereafter our food order was taken. I ordered a flat iron steak and a baker. My wife ordered soup and salad. Our dinner was served fairly quickly. Unfortunately my steak was quite a bit overcooked, so I requested one that wasn't over done. When the replacement steak was delivered, it was a bit overdone as well. I was hungry so I kept it. The manager came by to talk to us. I've spent time in a kitchen or two and I understand a dinner rush. The manager stopped at our table and wanted to assure us that this was not acceptable. She made things right, but wasn't needed or expected. I felt bad for our server because she probably feared she wasn't going to get tipped for a fairly big check. She was pretty wrong. I tipped correctly and arguably better than normal. Our return visit ended up being a great experience. We met a couple of wonderful human beings. Had some pretty good food. And, of course, my wife and I got to connect.“

“The burger was good and bigger than I expected. The spicy chicken sandwich was ok. The ice cream of course was delicious. They were super friendly and if I lived nearby I would probably eat here frequently but it's not worth a 30 min drive.“

“Good clean place to eat. Staff very professional and friendly. Family oriented!!“

“The best beef and shish kebab and Philly cheesesteak in the town“

“Our first visit. Chicken sandwich and fries (predicatable store bought fries, Krinkle cut). Service was outstanding! Scale of 1-10, would be a 6. Good enough to try again!“

“The food was great but I wouldn’t come here on an evening of you want good service. My husband and I did a tasting tour near by and wanted something to eat before we headed back to the Air BnB. Immediately you could tell how the experience was going to be when we didn’t order drinks right away and didn’t see our server again for about 15 minutes. She was very obviously more interested in paying more attention to customers that ordered drinks right away. She didn’t give her name otherwise I would I mention here. We only got one water and she didn’t come back to us again. We went to go to the hostess to try to pay our bill, ended up stopping her as she was leaving the bar. I give 2 stars out of 5. That’s only because the food was really good. I don’t think I would come back here. Maybe during the day would be better but I don’t know if I’d come here again anyway.“

“Had great Easter Brunch here was super awesome food service atmosphere loved it!!“

“Sauced offers a delightfully unique dining experience! This stationary spot, cute like a food truck and nestled perfectly between buildings, has a charm all its own. Their menu is refreshingly short and simple, which works perfectly to highlight their delicious offerings. While drink options are limited to water and Sprite, it's better than nothing and gets the job done. I highly recommend the Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and 'The Fry'—loaded with pulled pork and BBQ sauce—is an absolute must-try!

A quick note on the practicalities: Parking was quite challenging to find, especially with the ongoing construction out front. Also, due to recent rain, the outdoor seating area was soaked. However, these are clearly not the fault of the restaurant itself and don't detract from the fantastic food and concept.“

“My grandson loves Culver’s!“

“Went on a first date here almost 28 years ago….loved the restaurant and atmosphere. Fell in love with the man that took me there and still with him to this day! ❤️“

“Worth a visit. The drinks are great, the atmosphere is dim and cozy with a retro sports vibe. They have mocktails. The Bangarang is a great choice with or without alcohol. Make sure you get your hands on some Disco Burger.

Vegetarian options: They have pretty good veggie burger.“

“Friendly Service and food is great!“

“Your morning team blows my mind, they are always friendly, service is always 10 out of 10, and the food is always hot. I drive from Antioch Rd in Gladstone and skip that location to come to this one. They are a great team and I hope they know how much I appreciate them!“

“Ordered this from uber eats. OMG!!!!! Everything was soooo good! Huge portions! Cooked to perfection! Idk where the photos that are on here from before came from but please disregard that other ones because this was perfect! I am a huge critic and I honestly thought I was going to be disappointed because I looked at the gogole review photos after I placed my order....and I am absolutely impressed. The quality and value here are unmatched. A certain burrito bowl and kids choice taco meal with chips and guac and a large queso cost the same to deliver as two catfish combos, a chicken strip combo and three drinks a shake and a chicken leg and mashed potatoes and gravy. The okra covered the entire bottom of the container, my daughter's chicken strip side, cheese fries came in it's own container and it was FULL. It took the driver 17 minutes to get here and the fish was still hot and the breading was still crispy e to enjoy. They didn't forget the sauces either! Also, they have strawberry Fanta.... bonus points. Again. I can't say enough. You have got to try this place.“

“Great burgers, large portions of fries. Staff is usually kind, with the exception of one of the managers. Large woman, tall, brown hair, brown eyes. Don't remember her name. She was rude and just shoved my bag of food at me, said "here". Haven't seen her in there last few times I went. Hope they got rid of her. Really wanting some of those fries now!“

“One of my favorite places to eat. Food is delicious and fresh always. Best known for the burgers but have other delicious plates. Their aguas frescas are…AMAZING! The pepino agua was my favorite! Service was great. Got packed with to-go orders but still managed to tend the tables.“

“This place is a dumper and I’m here for it!
The sweet & spicy wings are insanely delicious and the pizza is damn good.
Don’t let the stench of the butt-funk carpet scare you away. A couple cold beers and you might not notice it.“

“This store has my entire line of Artisan lotions and cremes. I am thankful.“

“Ate at Burger Joint in Ameristar Casino. The food was great. I had a burger and fries. Everything tasted good and the price was realistic. The service could have been friendlier. They were too busy watching the Chiefs play to really pay attention to their customers. If you are in the mood for a good burger, go to Burger Joint!!“
