Box sizes and to-go orders don't really have a good presentation or fit with the amount of food you normally get while dining in at the restaurant. But Burg and Barrel has it down. Everything travels very well. And they are good at ensuring they have the right boxes for the right items. Venting in place to keep the fries (or tots) from steaming up and getting soggy. Boxes that are big enough for the full sandwich and a full order of fries. Snagged a beer while I waited and didn't even make it all the way through before the bartender showed up with our to-go order. Then speaking of Ambiance... we got to sit in my awesome living room and wolf down burgers and a steak salad while watching the movie of choice for the night. (Now You See Me - for those that were wondering)

I've never had a bad meal here so I assumed the salads were great, but tonight's dinner proved…read moreotherwise. I ordered a Cobb that came with no blue cheese, which our server recognized immediately. She brought out a side of cheese which was very nice. It came in HUGE chunks which was wonky but I broke them up and it was okay. In my first bite I tasted rotten egg. When I mentioned it to my friend she said she could smell rotten egg. I hardly ever complain about food or send something back, but this egg was clearly past its prime. Our server (she was awesome btw) took care of the situation and got me a new salad in no time. This time, the lettuce was wet. Really really wet. I love that they wash the lettuce for salads at Bar West but wet lettuce is just unappealing. We will be back but definitely will avoid the salad from now on. Sadly I left hungry. Again, awesome server though!

On the quest to find the best burger in Kansas City, I tested Grandstand, and it honestly did quite…read morewell. Grandstand is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s even thought it only opened in 1984. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and it performs admirably. It's thick, juicy, and full of flavor. But that is just the burger. I'd recommend avoiding their fries as I've tried a couple versions and both tasted bland and potentially frozen as if they aren't made in house. Each time of had their fries, I've thrown them away. However, the burger is done very well. First time visitors that get triggered by religious or political signage should be well aware that there will be signs in this restaurant. Regardless, Grandstand makes a quality burger that I quite likely will be having again. You can see more of our experience on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PQLoDu8-DYs

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!

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.

Overall - fun and quirky environment with lots of yummy food options…read more Menu: EXTENSIVE menu with lots of options to choose from... to the point that it can get a lil overwhelming. Thankfully most items have a reference picture so it was easier to gauge what you're getting, which I appreciated. I'd recommend getting the Honky Tonky (with bbq sauce on the side) bc it was a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Other burgers were good too (not all were shown n some I forgot the names), so high chance they'll turn out good. Appetizers id recommend (not shown) is the Spare Parts Appetizer that lets you sample a lot. Several were good like the jalapeños n cheese curds. As for the price and portion though, I don't think it was that worth it.... The burgers aren't that big compared to other places and the fries portion was kinda small too. So for the price of $20 after tax, just not worth it. Yummy but I could always get burgers somewhere else too. Atmosphere: if you're into cars, bikes, all the edgy garage and western decor, you'll like this place. It was fun to look around and see how this place was decorated. It can be a lot though. In terms of space wise, lots of rooms and tables around. We had a party of 11 and were thankfully able to make it work on a busy day. Service: our server was chill and patient with us. Felt like our burgers came out at a reasonable timeframe. Summary: was good and even though yummy, probably more of a 1 visit every few months bc the portion to price ratio isnt it imo :( especially if I can get burgers and fries in bigger (n refillable) elsewhere. Would highly recommend trying though!!
