50 Best Burger Restaurants near Riverside

“I loved this random(but always vegan) choice of where to eat while driving through the area. The name struck me cool when it popped up on my Google search for vegan restaurants nearby. Excellent rating. Was a no brainer.Totally wowed by all the factors when I walked in, ordered, waited, and ate. The food was exceptional. Perfect. It sets an unreachable bar. I had the Frito Burrito and Buffalo Cauliflower with possibly the best Buffalo and Ranch Dips ever. Left happy full with plenty of leftovers.From one tree hugger to Tree Hugger, thank you, it was delish, I love your homey place. Y'all deserve awards.“

“Welcome to good burger home of the... wait wrong place.This place isn't good burgers it's great. It isn't greasy. It has a lot of taste.The fries are wonderful. The burgers and fries have various toppingsAlso leave with some spicy mayo and ketchup you won't regret it.“

“Food was so delicious, as was my beverage. Service was fantastic. We were so hungry that we neglected to take photos. Would highly recommend this place. A bit pricey, but also not terrible. One negative was it was cold and I was freezing.“

“The food was AWESOME. Please tell the bar manager, or whoever works the bar drink menu to update. The waitress ran back and forth at least 5 times trying to get a drink order b/c it wasn't up to date! She also seemed really timid and slightly slow for it being a very empty building. Super sweet, but we definitely were there way longer than we intended to be.Parking: There is a lot on the upper "back side" of the building, where you pull in at. Loads of handicapped parking out front with a few standard spots.Kid-friendliness: Seemed like a great place for family get togethers. Lots of families in when we were there.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheel chair accessible and plenty of handicapped parking available.“

“Absolutely love Brewers Kitchen. Staff is extremely friendly, local beer selection is fantastic and the food is nothing short of amazing. Ive had just about every thing on the menu in the last 6 months of visiting and have never been disappointed. Their house made Honey Mustard is exceptional and wish I could buy gallons of it for back home it's that good. The food really is the star of the show, you can tell nothing is frozen and everything is fresh and made to order. If you want the best burger in KC, you need to come in to Brewers Kitchen.“

“In all my travels, I haven’t had better food, drink, or service for the price! I stayed at the hotel across the street, and came here every day. I wish I lived here so I could come daily. Sarah, Christina, and Alice all did an amazing job at the bar. Amanda was a stellar server, and Sai is a master on the grill. Martin was observant and helpful as a manager. If I ever come back to this part of KC, I will happily come back and say hello.“

“We were staying at the Hampton Inn downtown and were looking for a good restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. The city market area has about a dozen restaurants to choose from, so we chose this one. It was an excellent choice. The restaurant is very bright due to having a lot of windows, as well as many light fixtures inside. We started with the shrimp toast appetizer, and it was outstanding. It contained toasted pieces of baguette covered in gold shrimp, moray, chives, Sriracha, nuox Cham cauliflower, and sesame crunch. I could just eat that dish again for my dinner. For entrees, we had the Bahn MI sandwich and the grilled quail. The Bahn MI consisted of pork meatballs, bacon pate, pickled vegetables, chili aioli, banana ketchup, chili oil and cilantro. It was very flavorful but a little spicy. My husband had the grilled quail. He loved it. It was accompanied by ginger-lime fried rice. We would definitely return.“

“Been livin on broadway since 2022 just finally stopped by the other day, it was like 4am and no I wasn’t drunk lol but everything was lovely and the lady was nice. Those fries are pretty dang goodParking: It was Friday 4am so it was dead, it might look different on Saturday or Sunday 4am“

“Vegetarian options: Veggie Burger & SaladsKid-friendliness: Kids menu available (10 & under) with plenty of options, dessert included (bring your own pen/crayon/marker to play the games)Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no steps to enter. Some seating is not wheelchair friendly (booths that have a step up) buy there are plenty of regular tables. Seating is very close together, so keep that in mind.“

“Heads up this is on the industrial side and it could startle people but I love the location it's safe enough just don't leave your car running or unlocked and you'll be fine. Anyways THESE SANDWICHES ARE AMAZING FOR $9 AND THE FRIES ARE FANTASTIC! you're wasting your life if you don't eat this once a “

“Really enjoyed hanging out here watching the KU game as well as listening to the Irish band play. That was a really cool experience to hear the Irish band! Food and service were both good. The corned beef hash was good but needed a bit more flavoring. An over easy egg would help but mine was over cooked. The shepherds pie was also good but still needed a bit more flavoring. Will be back to try more items!“

“I have been coming to Hi-Boy's my whole life. It's the best cheeseburger in town. My mother was a teen when it opened. She taught us to love it and now my kids crave it! We now live 2 hours away and it's the first place we stop when we come to KC!!!“

“I had a blast going to Hamburger Mary’s for the first time last night! The energy was electric and they hosted Ru Paul Season 16’s Q and Xuanmi Muse, which were outstanding performances. Can’t wait to come back for another show soon! :)“

“First of all, the burgers and onion rings are delicious. hands down some of the best burgers my wife and I have had. (no food picture because unfortunately we devour it :D) We aren't from Kansas City, we live in Wichita, however, our infant girl is a patient at Children's Mercy in KC, and has been for several months now. My wife can only visit on weekends (I work remotely so I can stay here with the baby), and Danny's has become one of our goto date spots for lunch. There aren't many things that can take my wife's mind off our situation but Danny's has been an awesome experience every time just for their food and service alone, and that had been a bright spot for her in an otherwise not so fun time.“

“My husband was a patient at KU Med for 6 days. I went on Google to find a place that served "hamburger baskets" Quickies came up (thank you). I WAS NOT disappointed! The hamburger and fries were so good I was there 4 of the 6 days of his stay. The people working there each day they would ask about my husband. I live 85 miles away and had explained I had Googled to find them. Anyway they were so very kind and always wished me a safe journey home. I ABSOLUTELY will go back when I'm "in the city". Oh, get the Quickie sauce for your fries, you can thank me later ??“

“Excellent food! I had the North Town Burger with cheddar, cooked medium.Best burger I've had in years. Curly fries cooked to perfection. Wife had Santa Fe Chicken Wrap, and was very impressed.Will definitely return. Oh, and the amount of sports memorabilia is truly off the wall and insane.“

“We've watched the Chiefs past 3 Superbowl appearances at the Quaff. Staff are fantastic, tvs aplenty food is hot&fresh, and great music to keep you pumped up between plays. Don't change! P.s. the ladies bathroom is redone, loving it!“

“We arrived as a group of 9 and all left satisfied. The burgers matched what we had seen on their online menu. Our orders included the Classic Burger, Pork Brisket Sandwich, and Pulled Pork Pigwich. While they appeared small, they were packed. The beef and pork were seasoned well. The patties were not oily like most places and yet still good. The fries were addictively tasty. Despite being full, everyone was eager to help finish the fries that we overordered.“

“This is the place my out-of-town family always wants to go to in KC before anything downtown. They like being able to sample all the different tap beers & ciders, the many tvs showing sports, and the menu choices. The wait staff is always friendly & helpful. Conveniently located on the KC Streetcar line too!“

“This old school late night burger joint sure hits the spot after a night at the club. The line was at least five deep when I found this 24 joint. Sampled the cheeseburger, onion rings and the hot dog with chili and cheese. The burger was thin and delicious, cooked on a flat top. Onion rings were large and generous. The big surprise was the hot dog sandwich. Served with at least two or more split top hot dogs the smothered in chili with beans and American cheese. It was huge and more than enough for two. I was expecting a Detroit style chili dog but hey that's why I try hot dogs everywhere I go, you never know what you're going to get. I added this place because I hope to come back!“

“Welcome to Helen's JAD (Just Another Dive)! Known for their wings and late night kitchen, Helen's is one of the few late night spots in KC where you can get food at the end of a fun night on the town.FOODI had the All-American Burger ?. It was quite tasty and I definitely recommend it. My friend had the wings and said they were delicious as well. We didn't try the pizza but that will definitely be my pick if I end up back there.SERVICEOur food came out quickly and our server seemed cool/nice. They made sure to ask if we wanted another drink as soon as we polished off the last. No complaints there!ATMOSPHEREAppropriately named (Just Another Dive), the atmosphere at Helen's was that of a generic dive. The music wasn't for me tbh. It was mostly classic rock tunes i hadn't heard in years (and wouldn't have minded keeping it that way) mixed with modern country which just ain't my vibe, but also, it's Kansas City so what do you expect? This definitely isn't like one of the more artsy, hipster, service industry dives in Chez's, Hillsiders, or even Easy Inn but those dives are few and far between in KC anyway. There was lots of sports stuff and generic beer marketing posters everywhere which felt pretty bland. I will say the patio was really nice though and a good patio is always important.Overall, I'd swing by again for a late night slice of pizza and a quick drink at the end of the night. The food was delicious, drinks were alright, service was good, and people were nice enough, atmosphere wasn't for me really. I'd go back for the food, food service, and the patio!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Instead of ordering my regular gendered, I ordered a hickory burger. My mistake. The hubby ordered a gendare double, next time I will stick to mu usual. There was very little hickory about my burger, just an average burger. The size of an order of onion rings has shrunk. We have always split an order, I think we haf 4 rings and a tiny little ring. They were ubergreasy and just not that great.“

“I come here a couple times a week in lue of cooking dinner and I'm always treated sooooooo well at this location. The bartenders remember me and my beer order and always greet me with the most welcoming smile. Alyssa is my favorite, can't lie. But Julian, Nastassijia and Leah are all absolutely wonderful as well! I always leave happy and they always take care of me if I'm ever not, which is rare! Thanks for making sure I feel at home at your bar, guys! Austin was great helping me out tonight too!“

“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!“

“Some say it's better to do a few things well than many things poorly. Sauced.'s menu lists a couple of spicy chicken sandwiches, a few burger variations, chicken wings, chik bites and a couple of sides. That's it. The spicy chicken is spicy. It's not for me, however my friends who like such things like it. The burger is one of the best in town. The wings are top notch. A note - only outside seating is available. Come hungry.“

“I truly recommend anyone who loves yummy food go to this Culver's. The food is always freshly made and the custard is so freaking delicious. Also the server's are really cool and respectful. The atmosphere is also very peaceful.Parking: Nice spots to park your car.“

“I've gone to this restaurant many times over the years & they never disappoint; the food is always very well seasoned, the quality control of temperature of the food is stellar & you can't beat the price for the quality and variety of the food available. I've always received good service here & will continue to be a Sunday brunch fan.Vegetarian options: Most of the options are garden salads, pasta salads and grilled vegetablesParking: You can park in the parking garage next to the building and the restaurant will validate your parking ticket so it's free.“

“Absolutely amazing fried rice.I ordered the house fried rice+4 wings via online pickup.The wings were good, nothing special, really (I ordered parmesan garlic).However, the fried rice was outstanding. It was, for me, just the way I like fried rice.The interior is pretty small, but there are a few seats.I had no issues ordering online, and it was ready in about 20 min.The price was reasonable for the amount of food I received.Overall, I highly recommend checking them out. They have a pretty large menu, so there are plenty of options. I personally wasn't expecting them to have fried rice, so I had to try it out. Well worth it!“

“The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. It was an exceptional meal!Parking: Easy parking is available.Kid-friendliness: The children enjoyed their delightful meals, and they were particularly delighted when they received their large milkshake for sharing amongst each other. The best part was when they sang their famous milkshake song! The children had a great time as well as the adults. ???‍?‍?‍?Wheelchair accessibility: I am quite certain that they had accessibility features for wheelchairs.“

“Food was alright, nothing amazing so a bit over priced for the quality. Atmosphere is definitely cool with the trains. It's fairly loud in there (not surprising since it draws in kids) and you order by making a phone call via the phone in your booth so not the best place for introverts or those with auditory issues.“

“Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Whataburger. If you know me, you know I LOVE WHATABURGER, WYNONNA & BABY JESUS! Being someone from the great state of Texas who appreciates good food and great service, I can confidently say that Whataburger's locations across Texas are consistently impressive. However, there is one specific Whataburger, #813 on 15329 Wallisville Rd, that holds a special place in my heart: the one on Wallisville Road. Now, it's not just because of the food that I love this particular Whataburger. It's the three amazing ladies who work there in the morning: Ms. Vera, Ms. Jean, and Ms. Judy. These ladies are an absolute powerhouse, and they make my experience at Whataburger truly exceptional. Every morning, I visit this Whataburger for breakfast, and I must admit that I look forward to seeing these three wonderful individuals more than I do for my biscuits and gravy. From the moment I walk in, they greet me with warm smiles and make me feel like I am the most important person in the world. They treat me not just as a customer but as a friend. One thing that sets these ladies apart is their genuine friendliness and courtesy. They go above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels welcomed and valued. Miss Vera, in particular, gives the best hugs that instantly brighten up my day. Their level of service is truly top-notch, and they deserve to be treated like queens. While the food at Whataburger #813 on Wallisville Road is consistently delicious, it is the presence of these three remarkable ladies that truly makes this location stand out. Their dedication to providing exceptional service and creating a welcoming atmosphere is truly commendable. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend paying a visit to this Whataburger. Not only will you enjoy a tasty meal, but you will also be greeted by the three queens of Whataburger: Ms. Vera, Ms. Jean, and Ms. Judy. They are the heart and soul of this location, and they are the reason why I keep coming back.“

“Having worked at a Five Guys in Baltimore long ago I'll say this about the Rainbow Blvd store.It is exactly as to be expected.The store is very clean.The staff is very friendly.My order is always correct.Parking: You have to park around the back.“

“My burger was amazing.I couldn't get a picture because I ate it so fast. The truffle fries amazing!The food was hot and fresh even though they were busy.We had to sit at the bar and the bartender was nice. He charged my dead phone for me.Parking: The parking is horrible.“

“First time customer yesterday an boy let me tell you this place is small anclassic an the food off the chain could only ask the burgers to be bigger but the prices are really good will be back again thank again for good food better then bk or “

“We ended up at Hereford House by happy happenstance I was meeting Iowa cousins for dinner. Our server Linda was awesome she was very knowledgeable regarding the menu and options. The roll are so warm, soft and delicious with the honey butter. We got a real variety steak excellent, chicken was tender and chili with skillet cornbread and desserts the incredible carrot cake and warm apple crisp. A truly relaxing wonderful dinner.“

“My favorite burger joint now! The burgers are like smash burgers, flavorful, enough grease and always taste the same. The grilled cheese and tenderloin is definitely neck and neck. I like their onion fries but save my appetite for the burger.“

“Happy to say I have never heard of LCs even though I moved to Riverside 2 years ago. Not much for burger joints. 1st thing: whoever hired Josie put money in the bank. Young face and smiling from "happy to see you", not "stoned and confused." Helped me with my menu order without skipping a beat. Food was down before I was and it was hot. Wasn't too happy about tator tot price gouging but whatever. The fries were fine. The burger had good seasoning it just was a little dry. The cook was Hella friendly though I give him, points for customer service. The food was pricier than the furniture would allude to but hey its Riverside. Friendly folks sell the meal.,“

“I really only went for the shake but decided to get dinner there rather than look around for a different restaurant. Burger was good but messy and the fries were great but the chocolate malt milkshake was so good. Maybe it's because we can't get malt milkshakes so easily in the UK which is why it tasted so good. Either way I thought it was perfect.“

“Where do I begin, the drive-thru is blocked off. I went thinking it was a Texas Tom's, by the way Texas Tom's starts in a unknown date, next week so they have two menus on the wall, smoke burger and Texas Tom's....well I ordered from the small paper menu taped to the wall...I really wanted Texas Tom's because the sign out side said Texas Tom's, not Texas Tom's next week or so....can't complain too much, but I really wanted a chocolate shake....“

“This is a newer location of dairy queen in a great location. It's in the parking lot of the old mall turned shopping area. It's easy to get in and out of the parking lot. There's a lot of handicap accessible parking. The entrance and restaurant is also accessible. The food is good and service is usually pretty good as well.“

“Got a tip that this spot had good milkshakes. I popped in and grabbed one, but also got a burger. The Pure Burger was DELICIOUS! I snagged the Broadway Joe shake and was pleased with it. I prefer a finer blend, but the flavors were good. Very chill spot. Nice for a burger spot. I carried out, but will return to dine in!“

“The restaurant's shrimp dish is a winner – succulent, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The flavors are a delightful balance, with a hint of freshness from the accompanying herbs. It's a seafood delight that leaves a lasting impression.Parking: Good“

“The buffalo chicken cheesesteak for sure. But in general big burgers and like my cheesesteak was falling out of it’s bun and I definitely need a fork and a spoon because I was not going to let what dropped go to waste. It was spicy but not too spicy like I needed a drink but I wasn’t saying oh no it’s too spicy. Perfect level of spicy and delicious.“

“It was great experience came as a group we all tried it for the first time I got the triple burger it was good but maybe a little overhyped still going to try more of the menu and add more onto this employees really nice and respectful my cup had a hole at the bottom and didn't notice it thought it was part of the condensation but it turned out it wasn't and employee was the one who noticed and Gave me a new cup and apologized for the inconvenience, highly recommended for atmosphere and chilling having a great time with people who care about their service and quality of experience. Great job will be back soon to try new things!Parking: They have their own parking lot“

“If you're coming for bar-b-que, my picky husband said it's some of the very best he's ever had and it would be hard to beat. If you don't eat meat or are a pescatarian like me, this is probably not the place for you. My salad was nothing fancy, very basic, yet was $20. Not worth it at all. But my husband loved this place so much that I had to give it a 5 star rating. The drinks from the bar were good and only $9, which I thought was great compared with so many other places.“

“The people making the food and the man at the counter was very nice! I had onion rings and a very tasty cheeseburger! It wasn’t even 5 minutes and the cheeseburger was gone! Very good! You can tell that this place puts a lot of joy and passion in their food!Bonus: Saw a very chill pigeon hanging out around the building. Very friendly.“

“Excellent service from Kallina. I had the Shrine burger with Swiss and mushrooms. It was cooked medium well as I asked. Overall a great burger with a home cooked taste. I chose the home style chips as my side. Kallina offered me a drink to go and was all around excellent with her table service. Not many people know the restaurant is open the public. Just be sure your check the hours since they are close on weekends unless a special event is going on as it was today.“

“The mushroom burger was quite tasty, well cooked & not greasy. The burger itself had mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, crispy dill pickles, and I substituted American cheese for the Swiss which came standard. It’s served with seasoned fries and they tasted fresh made (even if they aren’t).We also enjoyed an order of falafel and an order of fried mushrooms. We could not finish what we ordered and required 3 takeout containers!Definitely worth a stop in. We were there around 7:30 on a Saturday evening and it was very busy. The cafe seating was almost full and the take out business was thriving. It’s not a large place so it appeared very popular with the locals in that area.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp from the doorway at the sidewalk level up to the front counter. It is a bit steep, but could be manageable.“

“We have dined in at this location twice in the last couple months (once during a really busy night and once on a slower week night) and both times we were seated quickly, had great servers, our food came within a reasonable time, and we received exactly what we ordered. The bathrooms were clean and they get bonus points for giving my preschooler a balloon on his way out! Overall a solid choice!“

“I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the service I received as well as the quality of my cheeseburger and my onion rings. I ate at a Burger Theory one other time and I was very disappointed by that experience. I'm glad I gave it another try. The onion rings were very good.“
