50 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Good golly these burgers and fries are delicious. Those burgers are like elevated diner classics. Very good flavor. The fries may...may...outshine the burgers. Crispy exterior, delicious fluffy interior. If they had an array of sauces like those pommes frites places, they could just be serving fries, they are that good. Did not disappoint. Will be back. Depending on which way the wind is blowing you might get some funky smells from the city market trash cans, and your drinks are behind you, not where you order your burgers. Who would ever think you could get drinks in the same place you get burgers?!? that's just wild!“

“Great food, had a great experience.“

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

“Really good quick food! My favorite place in Overland Park“

“My grandson loves Culver’s!“

“Excellent fried Brie & service.“

“I've been coming to this place for years and one thing that never gets old the women they're just so darn beautiful and the down to earth you want a good laugh a good conversation or hell trust to have someone ask you are you doing all right that's the place to go highly recommended“

“Great food and great atmosphere! The staff were so helpful with dietary restrictions. They checked ingredients and made us feel confident that we would have a great experience there. We enjoyed the burgers, and the trains bringing the food to the table was a bonus! We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Kansas City.“

“Best burger in town, top notch customer service“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food and customer service!“

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

“This place is a grab-n-go type of place. No dine-in area. Basically a convenience store with a carry-out restaurant. I got the tenderloin combo w/ fries and Philly cheesesteak combo w/ tots. Just order at the cash register and wait. 3 order in front of me and I waited about 15 mins. I enjoyed and recommend both sandwiches. The tenderloin was thin, but it balances with the buns and toppings. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious. It was a little smaller than I was expecting but the taste… it was mouthwatering good. There’s a bathroom. No dine-in. Go give this place a go.“

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

“Yummy juicy burgers and the best onion rings!“

“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! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“The food is reminiscent of the original and the building is cleaner but mostly unchanged. Staff is responsive and friendly. Wait time is a bit long but everything is made to order, so I can live with that. Already looking forward to my next lunch.“

“This is not an upscale place. It is an old fashioned burger place, like something out of the movies. I'm old enough to remember the days of drive though burger/malt shops before the chains all took over. I live this and would choose it over McDonald's or Burger King every time.“

“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“

“I think it's insane that I SPLIT a combo and a milkshake with my son, and it cost me $25. That said, the burger was excellent, fries were good, and the staff checked on us multiple times. Just wish everything wasn't so dang expensive.“

“Basic, Affordable, clean“

“Friendly Service and food is great!“

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

“They have really helped me out! The staff is amazing and have always been so kind! I was very new to meal plans and they made sure I knew everything about the menu and how it all works! The food is also amazing it’s all made fresh weekly and saves me a lot of time and money!! I was spending $355-$400 a week on DoorDash and they have seriously reduced my food spending by a few hundred dollars a week! So thankful 🙏🏽“

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“Went up there one day just on a whim to test it out before I take my family up there. When I tell you your getting a burger on par a matter of fact they are better then 5 guys and reasonable prices. Best burger i have had fries where bussin. In My Tony The Tiger Voice what do I feel about Big Burger There GRRREEEEAAATTT!“

“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.“

“Burning love & French fríes“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Helen’s is our go to hang, Jordan and Josh are such an integral part of the atmosphere and a fairly large part of why we come in. The name is just another dive bar but I would say it’s different from most especially around KC. The food is great, the prices reasonable and even the other patrons are friendly. I can say it’s easy to end up spending your entire evening in one place. We have made many a single serving friend at Helen’s just casually hanging out.“

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

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

“Got the breakfast taquitos, one potatoe and one sausage, both very fresh, hot and delicious! Highly recommend with the salsa Verde sauce! I didnt even know they served breakfast until recently, but the taquitos are basically small breakfast burritos and way better than the ones you can get from McDonald's! Cashier was Michelle C and she was so friendly! Kudos to her and her team!“

“Damn good pizza at a damn good price way cheaper than more well known pizza places but just as good or better than most. I started going there when they had the location on independence Ave and tonight I tried the St John one and to my surprise it was even better I like my pizza cooked well done and they literally cooked it to perfection without me even asking a little chared on top it was great . The place is better than fun house better than Minsky's probably in my top 3 favorite pizza places in kc. I had to take a picture of this pizza I got tonight because of litterly how beautiful it looked“
