Did you know that the Kansas City Metro is also known as "Cow Town"? That's because we take our beef seriously – and our burgers are proof of that.
But don’t just take our word for it! We’re taking you through some of our favorite spots to grab a burger in Overland Park. So go ahead, grab a burger (or a few) and let us know which one tops your list!
If you want the best burger in town, Burg & Barrel currently holds the title. Voted Best Burger in 2024 by the Johnson County Post, their menu is filled with appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. You can't go wrong with the Classic Burger, but if you're feeling adventurous then go for the Gut Bomb which is made with two beef patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, american and swiss cheese, an over easy egg, and a beer-battered onion ring. But be ready for the unavoidable food coma!
Brew Lab
Nothing pairs better than a juicy burger with a refreshing pint of craft beer, and Brew Lab in Downtown Overland Park does them both exceptionally well. For the perfect combo, we suggest ordering one of their IPAs and the iconic DTOP burger, made with an 8 oz. beef patty, candied bacon, american cheese, fresh greens, tomato, pickle and a green chili dijon aioli. It's subtle heat and fresh ingredients make this burger the ideal choice for lunch, dinner or anytime you're craving something delicious.
If you love rock and roll, then you're sure to love Rock & Brews just as much! This dog-friendly restaurant serves classic comfort food with a spin alongside a rotating selection of local craft beers. You can build-your-own burger or opt for one of their delicious flavor combinations, like the Gastropub which is served with a sunny-side up egg and applewood bacon. If you order it, make sure to ask for extra napkins! And if you brought the dog, don't forget to get them something off the Dog Menu.
Winstead's
Since 1943, this iconic diner and soda shop has been serving up classic steakburgers in Overland Park. At Winstead's, each patty is smashed thin and crispy, available as a single, double, or triple to match your appetite. Customize it with your favorite toppings, or go all in ("everything" includes mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onions). Pair it with a legendary Skyscraper Shake or an old-fashioned Ice Cream Soda, and savor a true taste of Americana.
At Red Door Woodfired Grill, everything is made from scratch, and their burgers are no exception. Choose from three of their iconic burgers: The Classic, The Sweet Cheeses, and The Spicy Blue. If you're vegan or vegetarian, then you'll love their Impossible Burger. They're all piled high with quality, fresh ingredients and served with a side of french fries. If you're looking for something affordable, stop by on Mondays to grab the Classic Burger for only $5 – now that's how you start the week!
Of Course Kitchen & Company
For a more upscale burger, mosey on down to Of Course Kitchen & Company at Bluhawk! The restaurant specializes in blending South Indian flavors with American ingredients. Their smash burger is comprised of a half-pound angus brisket, american cheese, caramelized onion, garlic aioli, house biryani pickles and housemade curry ketchup served on a potato bun. It comes with a side of peri peri fries, which adds just the right amount of spice.
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free folks – this one is for you! Solstice at Strang Hall is well-known for their Beyond Burger. It's made with a deep-fried beyond burger patty, greens, tomato, house pickles, onions, brown mustard, and your choice of a vegan or garlic aioli. If you're gluten-free, you can substitute the sesame seed bun for a chia seed bun. Even if you're a self-proclaimed carnivore, we bet you'll love this healthy alternative.
