Hands down the best smash burgers In the city! Grilled CHEESE was amazing and the customer service was A1! Very friendly staff, great speed in the kitchen! You gotta get the root beer or root beer float! This place is a true STL classic. Onion rings and fries hit too! Always a nice line but worth the wait! Cash only!

Greatest little smash burger place! They don’t have much seating but don’t let that deter you. It moves fast.
They are cash only but have an ATM as well.
Must try St. Louis find!
Don’t forget to try the root beer out of the barrel!

This is a great little place that I wish I had discovered long before now! They are cash only but have an atm you have your debit card. It is small and stool counter seating but worth it! There were a lot of people coming in picking up orders during the time I was eating. It seems like a popular place.

Took my daughter’s there for the first time today. Got a single and double burger, grilled cheese, fries and root beer. All of it was consumed and quickly.
Amazing operation in there and the food was great!
Will be going back soon!

Looks like a hole in the wall.. but their burgers and fries are top notch. They make their own root beer which my husband said was the best he’d ever had. It’s tiny and seating is hard to come by on a busy day (old lunch style counter with stools).. but it is well worth waiting for. We will go back.

One of the best burgers in the St. Louis area!
CASH ONLY (or an ATM inside)
One of my favorite spots to go for an old school simple dining experience. Karli‘s only has about 16 barstools, so you may have to stand or eat outside, but it will not disappoint. Inside feels like time traveling back to the 50s or 60s into an all American diner.
Obviously, you need to get a smash burger, add cheese, or make it a double. The add-ons are extra, but worth it. They also have hotdogs, tamales, corn dogs, chili, and many more items. The fries are cooked to perfection, fresh and crispy.
Burgers are always made fresh fresh meat.
Don’t forget to try their old school root beer, or make it a root beer float.
Be sure to bring cash because they are CASH ONLY come up, but they do have an ATM inside.

I moved away from St. Louis in 2021 and I still think about this burger. I liked it so much I came back the next day and they (embarrassingly enough) recognized me. Seriously, such a good smash burger — perfect crispy edges — and so fresh. Definitely worth the visit, I like it more than a lot of other burgers in STL.

Carl’s is an institution and if you love burgers and root beer then Carl’s is not to be missed. The burger I had was perfectly cooked and had crispy edges and juicy in the center. We arrived at 1:15pm and waited 20 min to sit down and worth the wait.
