Tay's Burger Shack

Tay's Burger Shack is a small, no-frills spot on Armour Road in North Kansas City, just across the river from downtown. Patties are smashed until the edges char and crisp, and you can order a single, double, triple or the one-pound Home Run if you are very hungry.

It shows up on Northland burger lists and was one of the spots Kansas City Magazine tasted for its 2025 smash burger roundup. Go here for a cheap, filling burger without any fuss.
