I've been wanting to try Classic K for a while, finally had the opportunity recently. Wife and I were looking for a good burger and fries and they didn't disappoint (much). The interior was pleasant though obviously has been around for a long time. Tables were mostly clean, nothing a couple of napkins and a little water couldn't take care of. I ordered a signature burger (large patty, bacon, two slices of cheese, LTOP) fries, and a drink and my wife got a small cheeseburger with fries and a drink.Our order was delivered hot and fresh in around 10 minutes. We enjoyed the burgers though the buns were just a bit on the dry side but they held up well to all of the toppings. The fries were hot, golden brown, lightly salted, and tasty. Overall we were pleased, nothing to write home about or recommend but we didn't leave hungry. Honestly, we just thought they were overpriced for what we got. For the same price, we can get better tasting burgers and fries with a drink from Five Guys. read more

Summary: Terrific made to order hamburgers with a dive vibe. This place is made even dive-ier by the litter and cigarette butts scattered about the parking lot, overgrown bushes needing pruning, and a parked car that made it just inside the lot but still barred an entrance. Inside the door is a walled off alcove with slot machines manned by listless gamblers. Tending toward seedy is an apt description of Classic K. However, a bit of cosmetic attention might easily elevate this spot. I just wanted a burger. My double was fixed the way I ordered and staff were friendly and patient while we worked through what to put on and what to leave off. Pricing was a good value also: under $4 for a double patty standard burger. Or steakburger. If you like Steak 'n Shake's burgers Classic K's are reminiscent. read more

Delicious burgers for a fast food joint. The lady up front was patient and kind as it was our first time there and we were not sure what to order. I will say the only reason it is not 5 stars is because of the area it is located in which is not the best and also the wait time. Wait time was not drastically slow however it just was a little long. I think i only seen 2 staff members so they were really hustling to get orders out! read more

We carried out lunch for work from Classic K on a weekday. I think we all had cheeseburgers with pepper jack cheese and French fries. The burger was good. The French Fries were almost raw and cold. I would probably go back for the burger but skip the fries next time. I have heard people hype this place but it was an A-OK for me today. read more

Classic K Hamburgers - Cheeseburger with pepper jack & fries - Burgers Near Me - Cahokia, Illinois

Ok, I didn't expect much from this. It kind of looks like a dump from the outside, but the burgers are fantastic. I have a Triple Classic (three 1/4 lbs patties) with bacon and cheese. It was really good. I like my burgers gooey and juicy and it delivered. I wish I had a picture but I ate it too fast. On top of that, the place is cheap. Really good prices. Fries were good but not great, they have crinkle cut fries, which aren't my preference. I also prefer Coke and they are a Pepsi place. But the important thing is the burgers, and they do them right. 5 stars. read more

Classic K Hamburgers - the inside of a restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Cahokia, Illinois

The burgers at this place are legit. I have to drive 40 minutes to eat here, but me and my kids love it so it's worth the drive. The chicken is hand breaded, the fries are great, and the milk shakes are good. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it's a great place to eat. read more

Good burger and fries. The place isn't much to look at but the Niger was very good. Seared crispy around the edges and the toppings were fresh and tasty. TVs with sports and news and people from all walks of life. Great, quick, pleasant lunch while on the road. read more

Classic K Hamburgers - Decor left over from the buildings former life. - Burgers Near Me - Cahokia, Illinois

What happened here? Outside looks run down. Signs are all busted and faded. Stopped in around 9pm last night. Dining room was empty but every table was dirty. The waitress and cook were hanging out with another guy at a table. It was a rough looking bunch. The waitress jumped up and announced they "only had burgers" so I ordered one of those. It was completely undercooked. I tried my best to eat it, but after the 2nd bite of inedible chewy raw meat, I gave up. Also, the Budweiser beer I ordered was warm, so they gave me a styrofoam cup for ice. Did the ownership change? Or the owner no longer cares? Or can't find more competent help? Whatever the case, it's sad to see what Classic K has become after years of having running a first class operation. read more

I just ate here yesterday and the burgers are outstanding! Super fresh meat and vegetables. Takes a little time but that's how you know your food is freshly made to order. Nothing sitting under heat getting buried out. They have other things besides burgers like tater tots which are awesome. The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. Please visit this place next time you get a burger craving! Better than any chain restaurant! read more

Oh, Classic K's! Can't be beaten. It was delicious. Burgers and fries to die for. Thin, handmade patties and yummy crinkle fries. They offer gaming and alcohol but some neat, different options that you wouldn't think would make an appearance at a burger joint. Must visit! read more

The only reason I give it a 4 is because of appearance. I travel nationally for work and have for 20 years, I'm a professional at eating out. I always prefer to eat at a local place and they can be hit and miss, this was a huge hit. Burger was stellar and onion rings were also on point. I'm staying in a hotel and it was in walking distance so I hit it and was delighted. It appears to be an old hardee's or Wendy's or something the outside is far from delightful, the inside was clean enough (as clean as any burger/fast food joint other than chick fila) and there was only one other person in there eating, from the looks of it it wasn't worthy but I'm very glad I had few other options. If you get a chance and like good homemade tasting burgers on the cheap hit them up, great food, good service!! Would eat again if I'm ever back here. read more

The building is not much to look at. But the burgers were great. I had the large cheese burger. It tasted great.

I moved from california three years ago. My home town was in L.A. county.But San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego was were i hung out.. And if you are in so. california there are mom and pop burger joints in every town. Some have more than one location like IN & OUT Burger, Farmer Boys, Gus Jr, Douglas, Jims,The Hat ect... In & Out is the largest but it is a mom & pop restaurant There are lots with just one location also.. Classic K has great burgers it is like my home town. They would fit right in with the best of them. I live in MO. and I drive 85 miles one way just to get a Classic K burger... Now if I could find a good pastrami ? read more

This little place that you would drive by without even really thinking about going in is actually really good! Burgers remind you of old fashioned big burgers! Always good! The buffalo wings are good too! Mister loves it because they serve bear! Def a plus! This place is a win win situation....low cost, good food and beer! read more

The french fries were slightly warm, very greasy and very soggy. How difficult is making french fries?

this place is truly a hidden gem. the burgers are made fresh - which means a bit longer wait than other fast food restaurants but, trust me, they are worth it! they used to have huge loaded baked potatoes in lieu of fries - i don't like fries - but it appears they took them off the menu. the onion rings are decent and the milk shakes are delish! freshly made cheeseburger and vanilla milkshake - yum! it's my go-to spot when i'm in the area. the building and decor could use a bit of updating but it's hard to care when the food is so good and we always take-out anyway. read more

eat here a lot wont ever again. ordered my food according to my receipt at 1:02. finally got to the window and paid at 1:19. when I asked the very rude man who waited on me if my food was going to be hot he said they were busy and it just came up,.,.ordered a single hamburger and fries.. got to work 3 minutes up the road.. the fries were burned and ice cold.. my single hamburger was a slider hamburger slapped on the bun.. tried to call to complain and they wont answer their phone. I don't like driving in the area this restaurant is in but I suck it up as I love their food.. wont ever go there again and I encourage people to go to rallys its a lot quicker read more
