    Cheeseburger and some stellar pickle spears
    Amy K.

    I got into St Louis late night after a very long drive and I was HUNGRY. I was very happy to find an open burger joint just up the road from my hotel. Everything about this place was perfect - the nostalgia, the service, the prices and the FOOD! I ordered a cheeseburger and fried pickle spears and both were absolutely delicious. I could not get over the size of the pickle spears! Really good quality for what you're paying and you'll be full. I wish I had more time to go back and try more of their menu items, including the shakes which looked outstanding. My next trip to KC I will absolutely be stopping by again!

    I've loved this restaurant since I was a kid. It's a must try side if the road eatery you have to try if you're into a good ol fashioned burger l, shake and fry situation. On my most recent visit, I just need a little something to snack on so I got the onion rings and a small cherry limeade. The taste and quality are the same, but the price has definitely gone up! That's inflation! The onion rings haven't changed a bit! Still crispy, sweet and fried to perfection. The service is always good, and the cooks get you in and out. There's no place to dine at this location, hence the "drive-in." This Location is always cleaned and has a minimalist approach on decor. ;)

    Cheeseburger & onion rings

    HiBoy Burger Joint has been around for 66 years and there's definitely good reasons why. It has been a good minute since I drove in to grab a burger, but I recently had a hankering for one so I made my way there. As I pulled in there was a steady flow of customers inside and others lined throughout the drive-in parking lot which has been the norm over the years. It's also a tell-tale sign for folks that are first-timers that something very special awaits them. I placed my order without waiting long & received my burger, onion rings & cherry shake in no time flat. The burger was ginormous & the sack was unbelievably overloaded with onion rings, enough for at least 2 meals, woo hoo! I must admit that my only disappointment was the shake had way too much cherry flavoring. Other than that, I was pleased. As far as dining in, forget it. There's plenty of standing room inside, but no seating so to-go is your only choice. One of the things I enjoy about HiBoy is they don't just make great burgers, but they also serve up a mean tenderloin, fish sandwich, chili dog, Italian steak, chicken sandwich, corn dog bites & the list goes on... The food is consistent which is a major deal in my book & you won't break the bank eating there either. The staff was pleasant & the restaurant was clean. One can't ask for much more than this! Sooooo, when you're in the mood for a good, old-fashioned drive-in meal THIS place is your spot.

    My frequent lunch companion and co-worker is always teaching me about KC treasures. After all, he's lived here his entire life and I'm a transplanted Texan. When I told him I was taking my family to a Royals game a couple of nights ago he asked if we had any pre-game traditions. I said, "We don't tailgate, if that's what you mean." He told me that his family's routine for every trip to Kauffman Stadium was to stop at HiBoy Drive In. I pulled up the website and, POOF-- there was a new Hollan family tradition! HiBoy looks like and old Dairy Queen that's been enclosed and tailored to the unique HiBoy aesthetic. You order at the counter and wait on your order. There's no dining room, so you know when you go there you're getting take out. My family of four ordered a 1/4 pound cheeseburger, a Junior HiBoy, a 1/4 pound HiBoy and a Tenderloin Sandwich. We also tried Onion Rings, Tots, and Fried Pickle spears. Prices were very reasonable and the quality was SURPRISINGLY GOOD for what one might expect at an establishment like this. We topped off our meals with a strawberry limeade and a Barq's Red Cream Soda. It was PERFECT. I didn't give it five stars because it just doesn't feel like a five star establishment, but it was a SOLID four stars and I'll DEFINITELY be going back!

    Always great food, probably one of the best double cheeseburgers that I've had and I'm a cheeseburger fanatic!

    The older I get, the more I realize how often things that are super-hyped simply don't live up…read more.. ...that, however is NOT the case at Tay's! TL;DR here is easy, folks: there is a REALLY good reason this little shack has so many super-high ratings! We made the trek from seemingly Oklahoma (read: Olathe) to have our first taste of what many people say is the best burger in KC! We pulled up, strategically, at 1:20 on a Monday afternoon, hoping to miss the bulk of any lunch crowds. Mission: successful! We walked straight in and up to the order counter, and had a lovely conversation with the lovely lady working the counter! She made a couple of great recommendations on burgers and fries (which we took)! Even though it wasn't busy, I assumed it would take at least as long as a fast-food drive through to produce our highly custom order of burgers. Wrong. Food was in our hands in less than three minutes! Crazy-fast service! The burgers are flat-top, smash-style burgers. The variety here are grass fed, and come out really, REALLY crispy! I'm not sure I've ever had a burger with so. much. crunch!! We were recommended the seasoned fries, which we agreed to! They're shoe-string style, which aren't my favorite. However, the seasoning really bumps these up a few notches, and then the Sriracha Ketchup (yup, you heard that correctly - sriracha!) brought them home nicely!! The dining room is exactly as you'd expect for a place with the word "shack" in its name, and I mean that in a GOOD way! Comfy, cozy, well-appointed, smells perfect, and clean! I think the ONLY thing I can think of as a critique is that the parking lot leaves a little something to be desired...especially on a rainy day, such as the one we arrived on. If you're like me, and hadn't been here yet, delay no longer! Get yourself to Tay's, and get yourself one of the best burgers in town! Food = 5/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance = 5/5 Value = 4/5

    This was my first time at Tay's Burger Shack and here's what I thought: The restaurant is quaint…read moreand they have such a cute patio and decors The customer service was really great and they get in orders fast! So the food... that's why we really came here. So many people hyped Tay's Burger Shack up that I think it made me set my expectations really high. I tried the Single Cheeseburger with fries, I will say that I didn't find it very special. My least favorite part was the buns, they didn't seem like they were toasted at all. Just your typical old cheeseburger. The fries were not my favorite. It does make a cute date night and maybe late night snack.

    On the quest to find the best burger in Kansas City, I tested Mugs-Up Rood Beer, and it honestly…read moredid quite well. Mugs-Up is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s when it was first opened and even has a neon sign that looks great at night. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and while they don't have bacon here, the burger was unique in that it wasn't a patty. They continued that uniqueness by using Velveeta instead of American cheese. Strangely enough though, it only added to this old burger joint's charm. This ground meat and Velveeta burger knows what it is and is happy with that. And while I didn't love their own in-house root beer, the fries were decent crinkle cut and the rest of the experience was good enough that I definitely see myself coming back again.

You pull up and park then someone comes out to take your order and bring your food. My go to order to the Zip burger & root beer. Zip burger is a loose meat sandwich which onions and mustard.
