Our Take
Carl's Drive-In is a small roadside counter on Manchester Road in Brentwood that has been serving St. Louis for generations. Its smashed burgers come with crispy, browned edges, and the place is a fixture on local best-burger lists, including St. Louis Magazine's 2026 roundup. It has also been recognized nationally for cheap eats.
Seating is limited to a counter, so expect to wait for a stool at busy times. That is part of the charm. Order a double cheeseburger, watch the griddle work, and enjoy one of the most old-fashioned burger experiences in the area.
