Town Topic Hamburgers

This Kansas City staple has been serving its famous griddled, steamed hamburgers since it opened its doors in 1937. Sure, it puts the “greasy” in greasy spoon, but in the very best way. Read more

Vintage cafe that's been here for almost a century, perfect place for post-bar food. Plop down on a stool and try a cheeseburger with grilled onions with a side of tots .Pancakes are fantastic as well !

Meat, cheese and bread make up the joyous menu. Add an egg at breakfast time (or any, being open 24/7). Big fan of their patty melt with an order of hash browns , all topped off with a slice of pie .

"The downtown hamburger spot, which opened in 1937, shines like a beacon in the late night hours. The waitresses will call you 'Honey ' without irony and serve up diner fare all night long." Read more

MentalFloss 25Iconic BurgerSpots(US): Restaurant honors its culinary history by making burgers the same way as when they started—beef patties, grilled onions , and steamed buns .

Dinner is small, but the food is quite good! Late night or middle of the day, they put it down! A little spendy but they have a quality product with lots of charm. If it is crowded , get your food togo

Order a double with cheese and add on onions , which are cooked directly on the patties.

Unapologetically cool, this place is a Kansas City icon. Catch a cab from the P&L afterhours and play a game on this tiny eatery 's Soprano's pinball machine while your burger in on the grill.

My go to is : 2 doubles wit Bacon and onions w/ gator tots ! Side note: apple Ala mode is good too!!!

100 percent dive. So worth it - great service, great food, great place!

Super good food. The burgers are so good. Add raw onions is my tip.

The Bigger Burger with cheese is RIDICULOUS. So good. Can easily serve two. Onion rings and strawberry shakes are off the hook. Small little local favorite.

The grilled cheese and real milk shakes are amazing! If in KC its a great place!

"The Broadway" Best omelette in town ...hardy enough for one big man or a couple small ones.

No matter what you order....just add bacon !! 😋

Good burgers and fries . Seating is limited, however.

Best old school dinner in KC. Make sure to get a homemade shake or piece of pie with your meal, mmmm.

I still have a few more places to try before I give an official verdict, but the burgers here were fantastic!
