Best burger in stl. Don't forget the chili. It is great over a hamburger or a footlong hot dog.

This is the closest you'll get to a dining experience like Pat's or Geno's cheesesteaks, outside of Philadelphia. Keep in mind before gracing Carl's with your presence, that there are basically two...

Love Carl's! I've been coming here for burgers and root beer since I was a kid. I love the frosty glasses of root beer. It seems like it is always busy. Bring cash!

VERY good! Definitely a tiny place, but the food is to die for. Definitely try the double bacon cheeseburger (or any burger, for that matter). It's better than Steak N Shake. The fries were just okay....
