46 Best Burger Restaurants near Riverside

“Visiting KC from out of town and we are always on the lookout for restaurants where my kiddo with alpha gal syndrome can eat safely. Treehugger is a winner! The food was great, and it’s super family friendly. The lady who worked the register was so friendly. Really great place!“

“So good! everything tasted delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“onion rings and fast service“

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

“This little old school 40s, 50s style diner Has great food at great prices that I’m surprised to still see today in 2026. I got the double Winstead steak burger added bacon, lettuce, cheese, and grilled onions, Got a side of tater tots/onion rings with a pibb xtra and a vanilla milkshake to go for under $20 and did I mention the food is great? Awesome burger that I’ve enjoyed countless times since arriving in KC.“

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

“Great food, had a great experience.“

“Best burger in town, top notch customer service“

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

“Everything❗️ Doesn’t get any better than Hayes👌 And the people are the best, too👍“

“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! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Went there for the first time tonight and first impression was great, went through the drive through and the line moved decently fast, I wasn’t expecting usual fast food pace, but that’s what we got! The lady at the window was super sweet, even though I changed my order in between. I had one burger that was modified and they got that right. It was right under $20 for two meals with shakes, I think that’s a very good price compared to any other corporate food chain. And the food tasted FRESH, veggies, meat, and fries. I would def go again“

“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“

“Yummy juicy burgers and the best onion rings!“

“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!“

“Dr pepper shake!!! I want a whataburger where I reside in Wisconsin fiercely. I'd not had it for about 3 years and was so excited to introduce it to my husband. If there was one near where I live in wi it would be a once a week meal in our home!!!“

“Excellent fried Brie & service.“

“North Kansas City has a rare hidden gem in this burger joint a little pricey but right along the lines of sonic but way better the beef patties taste of beef the tots were perfect and the ice cream is delicious all 17$ for the double patty jalapeno burger tots and 20oz vanilla ice cream butterfinger cyclone made from soft serve ice cream this place was a very pleased surprise on a random restaurant search“

“Love this place. However, on the app it says Minute Made Sugar Free Lemonade when ordering…but when you go through drive thru or inside it just says normal Minute Made lemonade on the fountain that is being served. Not good if someone has diabetes or another reason to order Sugar Free.“

“Great hole in the wall spot! Hidden gem in the west bottoms. Would not even know it was there without google. Walk in order your food at the counter, wait a few minutes and be prepared to be surprised by the super tasty burger and the shareable sides!“

“Great wings, food served hot. Dessert was delicious“

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

“My stop at HOLE IN DA WALL Burgers & More felt like finding a true hidden gem. The burger was juicy, messy, and packed with flavor—exactly what you want from a no-frills spot. The place is small and casual, but the food speaks loud. If you like honest, hearty burgers, this one definitely hits the spot.“

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

“I could eat 178 of the Chorizo ragoons. 😮‍💨“

“Love this place! Wonderful vibes, delicious food, and the drinks are a total HIT!“

“Fig and goat cheese sliders allllll the way. It’s kind of an unexpected twist on a classic and an artisanal option uncommon in the Midwest. Other items like their truffle fries are super dee duper and decadent. 10 for 10. Would always recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“Friendly Service and food is great!“

“First timer! Food is EXCELLENT. I ordered my lunch in the morning, picked it up at noon, hot and ready for me. It feels good to spend less money on lunch than I normally do on food that is 10x more healthy. Tacos were good size, seasoning was great and my flavored water actually had flavor. All this for $13. Highly recommend!“

“Burning love & French fríes“

“By far my favorite little lounge in KC. It’s just a short 5 minute walk from my apartment so the convenience is there. I love the retro aesthetic mixed with modern design, and when there’s a DJ it adds even more to the experience. My drinks are always great and the customer service is attentive and friendly. The little burger truck outside, Disco Burger, is sic a fun and amazing addition on those tipsy nights you’re craving a good burger. My friends and I LOVE Varisty Club, and our favorite bartender is Caleb. He’s always so nice and efficient with us. Such a vibe. I would give 10 stars if I could.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food music was a bit loud. Good burgers, Thai chicken sandwich was delicious and huge, tender and tasty. Fries were good bit not crispy, maybe they were ready before sandwiches or maybe because sandwiches were placed on top of the.. But would definitely give them another try.“

“SMAXX is the place to be! Especially on Wednesday’s for $1 whole wings. My husband has tried many other food items and likes it! 🔥phillies and burgers too! I don’t go at night so I can’t speak to that, but during the day, the music is always jammin’ with R&B hits. If you haven’t tried it, you should.“
