St. Louis has exactly one place on the list so far: Carl's Drive In, honored by St. Louis Magazine.
-
Rank 1. Carl's Drive In
Burger Joint
Carl's is a two-sided counter with sixteen stools, a griddle, and staff who treat small talk as a clerical error. The burgers are lacy, paper-thin things, so you order a double the way you'd order a second coffee, and the housemade root beer comes along without discussion. The tamales under chili are a pleasant surprise. Bring cash, and if anyone asks about the Shake Shack rumor, you didn't hear it from me.
