There is no Whataburger in St. Louis, but we do have a Shake Shack, Meh....The only chain burger I really miss is In-N-Out from the years I lived in California. I head to the nearest In-N-Out  for a double double animal style first thing whenever I fly out there.  

 

We've got a Shake shack here. Tried it and it wasn't bad, but there are probably 50 or more fast-food burger joints closer.

I had In-N-Out many years ago in San Diego, and remember it was pretty good. Not sure what I'd think now as my palette is so much more sophisticated

I had the In-N-Out burger a few months ago.  2nd or 3rd time having it.  Nothing special.  Freddy's is probably a little better.  I think that by far the best burger from a chain is Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Black Sheep in SGF is top shelf.  And the Black Sheep french fries are truly world class.

They do have good fries but the burgers are ehhhh. Cute and tasty but there are plenty of places in town for something better. 
 

The only top shelf burgers in SGF are at my house.

Guys, i just got done eating the best burger i have ever shoved in my throat. Small place in Republic called RepMo burger Co.  The fries were just as tasty. If you truly want a great burger, stop buy. Their FB page has info. 
 

I hear their tacos and shakes are the bomb too.

I don't do cute burgers.  Normally just a hamburger patty, bun, onion, tomato, pickles, mustard and ketchup.  Sometimes cheese.  B29 does a great mushroom swiss burger which is as cute as it gets for me.

I don't eat a lot of fast food burgers, but I've always preferred ones that use sourdough bread such as the Hardees Frisco burger or Sourdough Jack from Jack in the Box.

Went to 5-Guys in Lees Summit several years ago.  Nothing but a complete grease pit.  Burger was tasteless and the fries were limp, but at least they were cold.  Never have eaten there again.  I make way better burgers at home on the grill, the blackstone, or even in a skillet.  Double fried french fries are awesome as well.

Hard to beat a simple double smash burger with American cheese on a blackstone or cast iron IMO.
