Best and most fresh smash burgers in town! I love Mac's Local Eats because they are true to their name and source as much of their ingredients as possible from local vendors! The burgers and fries are epic and the vibes are very chill with seating inside (with sports in h the tvs) or outside! The service is always friendly and the food comes out quickly, what more can you ask for! This is definitely one of my top recommendations for folks coming to visit town!
Great burgers, if you like smash burgers, this is your place to go. I got the Louie which had chesse, grilled onions and peppers. There wasn't very many onions of peppers. It definitely could've used more. Also had an order of fries and a 2nd shift brewligan beer. If you enjoy a good smash burger and beer. It's a nice place to come to. They have a pretty good selection of local beers to choose from. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good selection of games that you can play if you just wanna sit for a while. There were three of us. We ordered three burgers, one order fries, one order of onion rings, one soda and two beers. Our bill was $80.
The restaurant is attached to a Hampton Inn so there is plenty of parking. We walked in and immediately lived the decor. Everything about the decor is about local companies. The restaurant is locallly sourced and family owned. The woman at the register did a fantastic job of telling us all about the companies they get their products from. All of the staff were very friendly. I got the gooey garlic burger with the Ripped Mac N Cheese. My husband got the Lumber Jack with Ripfries and. Chocolate Shake. Everything was absolutely amazing! The burgers were both delicious. The sides were equally as good. And my husband, the chocoholic loved his shake. We will definitely be back!
My son originally wanted to visit this place on his own, but since it's quite a long drive, we decided to make it a family lunch after church. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, so parking can be a little tricky. We ended up parking in the front, which worked out fine.Ordering is simple since you place your order as soon as you walk in. I had the 1/2 lb Ultimate Gooey Garlic burger with onion rings, while my wife ordered the regular Gooey Garlic burger with fries. My oldest chose the Double Classic, and my youngest went with the kids' meal, which included a single-patty burger and fries.The food was absolutely delicious and very filling. In fact, it kept us satisfied until dinner! The service was decent, and we received our food about 10 to 15 minutes after ordering.The restaurant itself was clean and well maintained, with no slippery or greasy floors. It's also very family-friendly, offering a variety of board games and toys to keep kids entertained while waiting for their food.We arrived early, so it wasn't very crowded at first, but the place filled up quickly. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back! Recommended for families looking for great burgers, generous portions, and a kid-friendly atmosphere.
If you want a quality smash burger in STL, you need to head over to Mac's Local Eats. It's their specialty, so you know it's going to be good. I recently stopped by after an appointment in STL. It was right at lunch time and it was also, opening day for the Cardinals. So when I entered, the line to order was already long. To my surprise, the one lady taking orders, moved that line quickly. So I give her major kudos. When it was turn to order, I was ready. I went with a Double and swapped out the American Cheese for Pepper Jack. For my side, I tried their Salt&Pepper Onion Rings. After ordering, I took my number stick and took a seat at the bar. Once seated, the bartender welcomed me and I ordered a draft beer. I barely had completed my Wordle and my burger basket was being slid in front of me. Before taking my first bite, I admired the crisp edges and actually ran my finger around them. My first bite was heaven. It proved to me that all a good smash burger needs is; ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles. The Onion Rings were made in house and the simple seasoning of Salt & Pepper made them a winner. While dining at the bar, I learned a new trick. If you're going to be sitting at the bar to enjoy your smash burger, you can order it from the bartender. That's right, no standing in line to order, you can go straight to the bar. Great staff. They all hustle and provide friendly and professional service.
Great food, great atmosphere, and great service! One of the best smash burgers I've had in STL! The fries are cooked really well too. Kids menu is pretty reasonable, and it would be 5 stars, but it's pricey overall for what you get. Def a must-go if you're in the Forest Park area!
A friend texted I need a great smash burger! I opened the Yelp app and found Mac's on Oakland. The menu had some great options and sounded yummy, so we decided to meet there and give it a try. Mac's delivered on all aspects of a wonderful, unexpected experience. Great casual atmosphere, friendly & present staff, enticing menu of burgers and sides. Sitting on the Hampton Inn property, Mac's is totally separate and NOT a hotel restaurant. As we walked in you see a small Market of select St. Louis goods. Great seasonings, chocolates and a few accessory items. The self-ordering station is the first stop with clear menu and pricing. Food is delivered to your table. The restaurant is large and rustic with many tables for 2-8 people. It looks like tables can be moved together for large parties. The bar area is large and very well done. Mac's location makes it very convenient stop when heading downtown for an event, visiting Forest Park or just looking a great local place to enjoy a fantastic burger with a small or large group. This will be a go to stop for us!
I rather enjoyed this place located by forest park! Once inside they have a bookshelf with kids books and toys and card games! Nice size tables for large families and smaller ones very very spacious place! We placed our order and I received it in about 8 mins quick service I got the smash burger open face taco it was DELICIOUS I recommend it to try something new! My husband got the garlic cheese burger which isn't pictured he demolished it so if you're a garlic lover he says it's the best fully loaded. The ooey gooey cupcake muffin was a nice swwwt treat we split it between us and agreed we appreciated the fact It had more filling than crust Will definitely patronize this place again They really mean LOCAL sodas from Illinois and food locally sourced. Check them out this was a first but def won't be the last!!!
First time at Mac's although it be been in the area several times at the next door Hampton Inn. Parking likely will be no issue, but it probably will be too close as you park in the hotel lot. The walk up was free of debris. I noticed they have outdoor seating with a TV. Upon waking in they have a cool local shop with various items. The counter to order is nearby. A menu board makes it easy to decide, but the staff was fantastic and assisted with questions. It's great to see staff so enthusiastic about their job, The dining room and bar are open concept. However they offer a side room that's a bit private and more quiet. The bar seats approximately twenty. They had business, but a tad slower on a weekday before close. Overall Mac's is a burger, fry and shake joint. They offer beef, pork, or both and a veggie variety. They also offer a few rotating salads, but did not have a Cesar I think as interested in. I ordered the most popular double menus the mustard. I also got a salad special chickpea. My wife and son also ordered the double, added fries and chocolate milkshake and Bottle drinks are available, as well as a full bar. They offer complimentary water in the dining room. My chickpea salad pushed out in minutes by a friendly expediter. About 5 minutes later another expediter brought out burgers and shake. Both expediters were very friendly and smiled. Everyone agreed the food was tasty. My salad was refreshing on a warm evening. My son liked his chocolate shake. but if you want a thinner version ask because it comes out very thick. A nice floating staff checked on us and cleared trays. So for me is a 4 to 5 type of place, but the service elevated the experience to a 5. I would recommend and return,
Love Mac's! Went for some food after a gin event and it hit the spot! Since it was between lunch and dinner, there were a few people in but not too busy. Spent some time looking at all the local products on the way to the window to order. I snagged some Ella and Ollie popcorn to take home. At the counter - Chelsea was bright and personable, it makes a big difference for those on the other side of the counter. She answered all my questions and took my order, rang up the popcorn, and I added some local eggs that she kept cold while we waited and ate. She was a treasure! After ordering, you get a number and find a seat to wait for your good. Grab your drink at the soda fountain if that is what you chose and get utensils and condiments at the station there. Didn't wait long and my double pimento cheeseburger arrived along with fries. So good! I love pimento cheese, and it went well with the double burger. I asked for the Hot Sauce Aioli on the side and dipped the burger in for each bite. Before I knew it, I had eaten the whole thing and half the fries! I just had water this time, but they have a great bar, too. Grabbed my eggs and left with some great local stuff from a great local burger place!
Mac's is a dependable spot for a good smashburger. I always have to stop myself from housing them in a few bites. My go-to is the Gooey Garlic. The workers at the counter are always friendly. It's a huge space with lots of seating and parking, so even at peak times it's never an unpleasant experience if you don't mind a noisy environment. The burgers themselves are decently priced, but once you're adding sides and drinks, it can be a bit much for a casual meal. Not to mention any basic sauces you want are another $2 each.
Loved the atmosphere! Nice local flair! Unique homemade burgers and tasty fries with special seasoning! Great spot to view March Madness! Sad they closed at 8 but were nice to let us all finish the game! Wish they had name brand colas but theirs were good too.
Macs is really good food, the burgers are amazing. Thin patties, lots of cheese and toppings. The other thing is you have to order the fries separate, the sandwich doesn't come with a side. We get blueberry lemonade which is good. They also have a lot of craft beers on tap One of the go-tos! The only reason I rate 4 stars because it closes so early and also you have to order there, with no exceptions, can't be ordered ahead or to go.

The Gooey Garlic burger at Mac's simply can't be beat! Every time I go, I tell myself I am going to order something different to switch it up but I never do. It's just too good to pass up! It's loaded with two patties, two slices of provel and two slices of American cheese, garlic aioli, and the bun is finished with a garlic oil and sea salt. How can you go wrong?! Also, their fries are super crispy and their cheese sauce is an excellent pair. The vibes are also always right and the staff is always super friendly! read more

My favorite place for burger in St. Louis. The special Fungus Amongus burger is excellent! read more
This place just reopened and while I never saw the old place, this place was pretty nice with a full bar, a bunch of tvs to watch your sports, a lot of seating and a very open space. We went there around 12:30 on a Sunday and there was a line, not super long so we only waited about 15 mins to place our order. As a side note, there was a constant line the whole time we were there. I ordered the Louis and my friend ordered one of the regulars burgers. My Louis was really good and very tasty. I also ordered the cheese fries and they were delicious. Now I know why a lot of people come here. I will definitely be back for some good American food. read more
Mac's is one of my absolute favorite spots in Saint Louis! Anytime you want a good burger and fries, this is an absolute must! I'm always so impressed because everyone that works there is so genuinely kind and happy to interact with customers, including the owner! Absolutely wonderful people, incredible food, & a great atmosphere! Can't recommend enough. The Guyute burger is read more
Walked into this place and was thrilled to try out their burgers! Definitely wasn't disappointed. Me and my cousin both got burgers and split them which was a great idea because we got to taste two very delicious burgers. The seasoning on the fries were great little spicy which made me love it even more. Very clean sat behind the bar and our service was fantastic! Glad we came across this place definitely will be going back. read more

You think you have had the best burger in STL & you haven't been to Mac's? You haven't had the best burger then because you're going to get it here. By far, best burgers in STL. No one can tell me different. Their meat and even their produce is from local farms, which takes it over the top. Every burger is delicious, you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. One of my favorites is the double pimento. So good! The rip fries are a must, I just don't think you can go to Mac's and not get the rip fries. Every bite is just phenomenal. I generally always get a side of the garlic aioli... to dip my fries in and I'll even dip my burger in it. It's THAT good. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the service at Mac's is top notch. He has some of the most dedicated and hardworking staff that I've seen by far. They are always a pleasure. Absolutely LOVE this place. Anytime I'm craving a burger, it's always Mac's because nothing else compares. read more
I LOVE all Mac's local eats does for the community. As for my love of their food? Not to much, unfortunately. What we ordered: there were things I loved about this meal and things I greatly disliked about this meal. My boyfriend and I ordered a veggie burger (without the bun or cheese), the seasonal eggplant salad, the LOUIE, and the boudin balls. This whole meal was $32. I understand the ingredients are from local farms, but look at the amount of food we got. I am willing to pay more for good ingredients, but for me it wasn't THAT good. My veggie burger was very convincing in the fact that it tasted like a really burger. My bf loved the Louie! He said it's the best burger he's had in a while. The eggplant was cooked well, but so small. The honey mustard with the boudin balls= amazing. This place is worth a shot and I would love to support it because of how much they do and what they stand for, but the food I got was not worth the price to me. read more

Window at the Tamm Avenue Bar in Dogtown, where you can order burgers with very thin and crispy patties. I went with my friend on a Sunday night and the bar area was very crowded, however we were able to find plenty of open tables in an adjacent room. We each ordered a classic burger with 2 patties and shared both a regular and a RIP fries. The burgers were good but very small, and the fries were very tasty as well (especially the RIP fries). Additionally, the service was very friendly. The food was expensive for the setting however, coming out to around 30$ total. read more

Wanted a nice Sunday evening dinner. The staff was so friendly in helping us decide on what to get. I went with the pimento burger and my boyfriend got the classic. We both got some riplet fries. The patio out back was perfect on a September evening. The food came out within minutes and everything was hot! Patties were cooked to perfection & I couldn't stop eating the fries. Will definitely be back here to try more on the menu! read more
Burgers-we shared a double pimento burger and a double classic. Both are pretty plain options compared to the other burgers on the menu, but that's really all we needed to satisfy our burger craving. The pimento cheese was delish and the burgers were nice and crispy ( as to be expected.) I personally would have liked a little more of that pimento on the burger, however, I know there is a such thing as too much cheese for some people. The classic double tasted exactly how it sounds....classic smash burger. Fries- well seasoned, mild spice, 1 order was enough for the two of us. I'm a fan. ( side note- they offer sauces to dip them in. They don't need it.) Service- expect a line. I think that's a well known fact about this place. They take their time taking peoples orders and don't don't seem to make customers feel rushed. At the current location (Cherokee street- I think they may be moving or even closing) you can order and eat in the brewery attached/that shares the building (depending on covid restrictions.) If there was an option to give 4.5 stars I would. This place makes a good burger, but I'm giving 4 stars because I was not blown away. It was a little too similar to the burgers we cook at home on the blackstone ( I guess we are doing something right.) If I go back I'll have to order something a little more complex and see how they do. read more

Absolutely delicious! 10/10 would come again. Perfect crispy burgers with fresh delicious toppings. The rip fries are to die for.. like no joke best fries I've ever had. The guy behind the counter mentioned we try the hot sauce aioli and it was so good! The location is pretty sweet because it's in a bar so you can get a drink while you eat but you can eat in a separate room connected to the bar if you aren't interested in that scene, which I think is cool and makes it also family friendly. Random note: I never felt rushed while ordering and he made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and even made suggestions. I love that and it's rare! Great service. I can't wait to sit on their patio when it gets warmer out :) read more

Ask the Community - Mac's Local Eats
Are dogs allowed on the patio?
Yes! And the staff will bring locally made treats for your pup!
Do they have beer at their new location?
It's coming soon. The city has taken their dear sweet time in getting them a hearing and then approval. Until then they still have great sodas and CBD waters!
Has something changed with their curbside pickup in the last few weeks? They used to be so fast even with 10-12 cars it was under 30 mins but now that same line takes over an hour.
The only time we end up with long waits is when cars in front of us have very large orders. They're also doing sidewalk orders now too so they have those people on top of cars.
Do they serve chicken sandwiches here?
They do not. They're a burger spot. They have beef patty, pork patty, and veggie patty burgers.
Is your veggie burger gluten free? Do you have gf buns? Thx.
Veggie burger is gluten free and vegan. It's a non-GMO soy based product from a local company Hungry Planet.…
Can you bring kids here? Where can I find a menu?
Bring them! We had our 11 month old with us and were able to snag a high chair. There is a dining area beyond the order window that is casual (and not next to the bar).
