They're in between a smash burger and a regular patty, so still have some crisp but a good meaty bite (no skirt) The buns were soft and pillowy, and the homemade pickles are delicious. The onion rings I loved, but my partner didn't enjoy the breading as it was loose and flaky, up to you on preference of batter if you want to try them, the tots looked great at the other tables, will have to try those next time! Good menu selections to choose from and they have a rotational burger to show their flair. I got the double cheeseburger with extra pickles and it did not disappoint.

From all of the rip-roaring reviews, I thought for sure I'd love this place. Unfortunately, it was…read morenothing special. Certainly not the best burgers in the city. My burger was good and meaty but light on seasonings. My tater tots were just plain bad. Overcooked, smaller than normal tots, and crumbling apart in the bag. I'm glad I tried it but the food combined with the atrocious parking situation and difficulty to actually get the food means I won't be back. Also, you can only order online! I HATE that!!!

We met at Café Cà Phê's four-year anniversary…read more I came around the corner and there they were. We locked eyes. I couldn't believe they were staring right at me. For a brief moment, I thought I heard music. There was a DJ, actually. But that's not how I remember it. I remember the bus. Yellow and black, impossible not to notice. Anime artwork stretched across the side. Go Chew Burger. At the window, someone was waiting who was every bit as inviting as the aroma coming out of that heavenly little bus. I started looking over the menu, and there, winking at me, was the GOCHEW Burger. They mentioned the double patty. I hesitated. "We won't tell anybody." Two patties it was. They also talked me through the kimchi: fresh or charred. They gave me enough information to make me feel like I was making all the decisions. Double patty. Charred kimchi. Loaded fries. I was all in. While I waited, I did what anyone with an infatuation does: research. I learned about Joohae "Chewy" Yoon and what she's trying to do with GOCHEW--take Korean flavors and put them into foods people already know. Burgers. Fries. Familiar food carrying something new. Then the buzzer went off. Time for our first date. No chairs. No tables. Things were getting a little awkward, so we went back to the car. The fries had lost their crispness to the sauces and steam, but I didn't care. The Korean BBQ sauce was sweet and savory, the gochujang brought mild heat, the creamy lime sauce cut through it all, and the bright green chives pulled everything together. Incredible. But the burger? Perfectly crisped edges. Juicy, hot beef. Melted cheese. Charred kimchi bringing sweetness and acidity. Three sauces that somehow never fought for attention. And the bun had a serious responsibility. Two patties. Cheese. Kimchi. Three sauces. Everything depended on it. Spider-Man protects New York and everyone who depends on him. This bun had the same problem. With great power comes great responsibility. And it held. Mostly. The attraction was still there. The infatuation was still there. But they had become something else entirely. Love. This wasn't just a good burger. This is the best smash burger I've had in Kansas City. Chewy set out to make people fall in love with Korean food by putting those flavors into things they already know. I think she got me.

The things I like most about Tay's include: the fries, sriracha ketchup, a fun car for kids meals, and of course the burger with all of the available toppings to choose from. I ordered a single with fries. My wife and I decided that we'll probably share next time. We might even get the slider with fries. My son loved the car his burger was served in. The ladies working were so friendly and worked quickly through the long line to get orders placed. We didn't have any issues finding a table to sit.

After checking out the large wall menu and hearing some suggestions from staff, we proceeded to the order counter. They were smart to surround that counter with tons of desserts that they also make in house and that looked fantastic! I had the mushroom Swiss burger with tots and hubby had the fish and chips. I thought the tots were better than the fries, but I think his fish was better than my burger. I should have actually read the description before I ordered the burger, so that's on me. It was a little more than I was expecting; however, I wouldn't hesitate to order a different burger. Hubby's fish was very light and flaky and a large enough portion that we could have shared it.

I had heard they made loose beef cheeseburgers and they are good. I drove to Mugs Up Drive In. I looked for a drive through but realized people parked and waited to be served. I parked near the menu. It's only viewable at the back of Mugs Up. I found it odd., The server walked to my car immediately. I ordered. I waited probably less than five or seven minutes. Out came the food: plain Whiz burger, fried mushrooms, medium root beer. They gave the best root beer anywhere. They make their own. Quickly home. The Whiz burger was phenomenal, considering it was my first cheeseburger in months. The fried mushrooms were the best I had. Root beer was the best. The only regret, I didn't order a black cow which is a root beer float. I'll do that next time. The server was helpful and pleasant. Serving parked vehicles quickly. It was super delicious.

My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.

The parking lot is... interesting, but there's generally more than enough spots. The drive thru is tightly wrapped by the street, but is easy enough to get into. The decor is perfectly average. There's nothing eye popping, except for the old original pricing on some boards in the back. The food itself, from the namesake burgers to the tenderloin sandwiches to the fries and onion rings; everything is just good and priced well. It's not Culver's level elite, but it's a nice step up from the McDonald's of the world. It comes out hot and is always right. The staff is always friendly and they move quickly. So if you're in the neighborhood and need a quick lunch or dinner, it's worth stopping in.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and our food came out quickly. I ordered a turkey club while my dad got one as well, and unfortunately we both had the same issue. The turkey was on the dry side, and it was sliced much thicker than I personally prefer. I tend to like a thinner deli-style sliced turkey, so it just wasn't my favorite sandwich. My mom ordered one of the salads though, and honestly it looked better than my sandwich. It was loaded with fresh toppings, and she said the ranch was excellent. If I come back, I'd probably skip the sandwich altogether and give one of the salads a try. Overall, I can definitely appreciate what they're going for. The prices are fantastic, honestly unheard of in present day, and that's the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3. It's a true local spot, and I wouldn't mind giving it another chance to try something different from the menu.
