Carl’s is Literally the “Cheers” (tv show) of Burger joints! It’s a Wonderful Cozy Quaint little place that is worth every mile to get to from wherever you are coming from or going to! If you are in the St.Louis area & Love Burgers & a welcoming environment then Do yourself a Solid & come here, You won’t be Disappointed whatsoever! The Root beer is also Fantastic & a Family Recipe passed down. I absolutely 100% recommend & my only Regret is not getting some more burgers for my road trip! Thank you Carl’s the experience was memorable & Cherished & Definitely Not my last time coming to visit!

This place is beyond amazing. This takes a lot for me to say but they might possibly have the best burger I have EVER had. The service was amazing and the bathroom is clean. They also cook the food right in front of you so this is pretty cool. Definitely a cool St. Louis landmark. I’ll be back.

Always an incredible experience at Carl’s. Been going since I was a kid and always go when in town. Tried the chili three way this time and it was okay but I think I will continue to stick to the burgers and fries (and root beer)!

I love love love America. Simple delicious. Employee’s were busy and still very nice. I loved watching them cook . They didn’t seem to mind at all. They were busy I think it was great Drive in experience. Prices were great. And the best onion rings ever. Crisp and delicious. The portions were good. The prices were so great order two. You will want left over. Cold cold root beer. Yum I would wait in line if I had too. Tip well these girls were really running the place. Can’t wait to go back. D

Good Fries. We got them well done. The burgers are fine. We thought the bun took away from the flavor of the burger.

If your looking for a hands down great hidden gem this is it. The burgers are great and everyone has to have a Carl’s burger at least once. So good!!! It’s a step back in time to the diner style burger days, they get cooked right in front of you. One thing you absolutely have to get is a root beer, it’s absolutely the best and pair’s perfect with a burger. The staff is great and they are always ready to get you in and out, I stop by any time I’m in the area and am never disappointed.

Excellent smash burgers. Tasty original recipe IBC root beer on tap. Fast and friendly service. Carl’s drive in exists in a perfect little time warp. If you haven’t been there in twenty years, it’s just like you remember. If you’ve never been, you should go just to experience this legendary classic route 66 roadside diner.
