St. Louis knows how to build a great burger. From classic smash patties to over-the-top creations stacked high with toppings, the city’s burger scene is as diverse as it is delicious. Whether you’re after something simple or a little more indulgent, these local spots deliver the goods.

Carnivore At Carnivore, the burgers start with a hefty half-pound of prime beef cooked to order and served on a soft, flavorful bun from Pete’s Italian Bakery. You can customize your build with toppings like crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or grilled onions, then choose from seasoned fries or another side to round out the plate. Simple, high-quality ingredients and attention to detail make this a standout spot for a classic, no-nonsense burger done right. 5257 Shaw Ave., Suite 100, St. Louis, 314.449.6328, carnivore-stl.com Credit: photo by Ed Aller
