If you're heading to Danny's Burger Shack, just know one thing up front, there might be a wait. But after trying both the PB & J Burger and the Sweet Heat Burger... yeah, it's worth it. The PB & J Burger sounds wild on paper, but it absolutely works. The peanut butter brings that rich, savory creaminess, and paired with the jalapeño jelly, it hits this perfect sweet-with-a-kick balance that keeps every bite interesting. It's one of those burgers that makes you stop after the first bite like, "okay... this is legit." The Sweet Heat Burger leans even more into that flavor combo. The sweetness comes through first, then the heat builds, and that jalapeño jelly really ties it all together, adding both sweetness and a subtle spice that doesn't overpower the burger itself. It's bold, messy in the best way, and just really well executed. Neither of these quite cracked my personal #1 burger of all time, but they're not far off. Both were seriously delicious, packed with flavor, and easily worth trying if you're in the area. read more

This came highly recommended from a friend who swears these might be the best burgers in all the Northland. After trying it? I get it. It's been our go-to ever since. We had the Classic Burger and it was amazing. Always fresh and served fast. I got the onion rings, my husband got the fries. We always share them because we can never decide which we like better. The place was packed when we came in right during lunch rush, but service was still friendly and quick. I love that they still keep that food truck vibe from the old days. read more

Small burger joint. Place seemed to be a little busy when we went. Placed order online to go and got it within 10 minutes. Food was okay. Comes with many toppings unless you customized it. Not bad for a burger and fries. read more

The staff here is amazing! Very professional and kind. It was our first trip here and the gal at the register, talked to us through everything and explained the menu. I even got a 5% discount because I'm a union member. That was very cool! They were already out of onion rings the day we visited, but it was almost 3 PM so I understand. I got an old-school double and added extra mustard. Because I like to try a burger for the first time with mustard pickle and onion only, because that's the way I grew up eating them in Wichita. My wife ordered the Drunken Rancher without the barbecue sauce and she mostly enjoyed it. Both of us thought the burgers were a little bit over salted and she did not finish the last 1/3 of hers because of that. The restaurant itself was a little dirty. Our area of the counter where we ate, had some sticky things on it, and the restrooms were unclean and did not have any toilet paper. The floors were pretty dirty throughout the restaurant. However, the gal at the front was tending the drink station and condiment station and was cleaning those up when we left. They may have been so busy that the staff did not have any time to clean from the time they open until 3 o'clock. This is definitely a good burger and deserves to be on the list of the best ones in the metro. But it wasn't our favorite. read more

Really good food and it's real food not junk food and there is good service workers are very good, helpful and friendly

I rarely check out burger places but wanted to venture out and give this place a go. No regrets. I had the Sweet Heat and it was exactly that. So delicious, well cooked, very flavorful. The service was good and the place kept clean and in order. They have a pretty decent system to get you in and out if you are just doing an order to go. Definitely will be back. read more

It's good food, but waaaaaay over priced and the fries are lame, likely a Cisco frozen variety. They bill for a side of ranch after paying around $35 for two thin-patty double cheeseburgers and fries. Another example of greed out of control. Never going back. read more

Delecious. Everything is made to order, so don't be shy to modify. Everything is made to order, it's efficient, but not fast. Ordering is easy at the counter. When I was there there was a half dozen patties sizzling on the flat top grill behind the cashier. I asked a few questions and ordered a single patty drunkin rancher with tots and a drink. I made an Arnold Palmer ( half lemonade and iced tea ) and sat down to relax. My lunch took about 18 minutes to cook up fresh. Flavorful Burger, Crispy tator tots, I'll be back! read more

Lovvvveed the Classic Burger, fries and drink! So fresh and delicious. I especially enjoyed my interaction with the young lady that I placed my order with. While I waited for my order I was impressed by how personable she was with each Customer. I prefer Danny's as my go to joint to get burgers and look forward to trying something else on their menu in the future! read more

This is a good burger place. They serve smashed style burgers. All patties are 1/4lb and cooked well done. I would reccomend their DBG Sauce. Very Friendly staff and location was clean. They offer a decent size menu with multiple styles of burgers and chicken options. I wish they offered milk shakes as this would have made it a classic all American lunch. read more

Danny's Burger Shack - Double Original Style burger with bacon. Tater tots and DBG sauce. ( A must try). - Burgers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Stumbled upon this gem after buying flowers down the street. Wow the cheeseburger was amazing! I got the classic and my husband got the sweet heat. Very unique burgers but a classic greasy spoon, in a good way. Liked fries over tots (a bit too salty for me). Will definitely visit again and hoping the Italian bakery next door is open next time! FYI the gender neutral bathroom needs some TLC. read more

Kept hearing how great it was finally made it over on Father's Day free burgers to the dads can't beat that deal! I got the sweet heat burger. It was excellent with the onion rings and they were very good. Everything was very greasy which I don't mind. Only thing I would suggest is a fancier bun like an onion bun or something for the premium price (12$ double) additional sauces to dip onion rings and tater tots in. read more

Food was good but for carryout it took 42 minutes n food wasn't piping hot. Probably won't be back anytime soon,

This was one of the best burgers that I've had in a minute. I'd been wanting to check them out for a while and I was craving a burger. It was also Franco's 4th birthday and he loves a good burger. I saw that Danny's had a doggo burger so I made the trek north. I ordered online and picked it up. Online ordering was easy and the food was ready to go when I arrived. Everything was included and the order was accurate. I ordered a doggo burger with cheese for the birthday dog. It's a good sized patty-3oz. And I liked that there was only the bottom bun. Franco inhaled it and would've gladly eaten more. He gave it two giant paws up. I decided to try the DBS Classic as a double. The burger was delicious. It was big and juicy and everything you could want in a burger. I'd definitely order it again. We also ordered fries and tots. I preferred the tots but both were good. We also had to try the chicken so we ordered an 8pc chicken bite. The chicken was crispy and juicy. I would try the chicken sandwich or even the tenders. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely return. read more

Decided to try out the place based on reviews. Maybe it was a bad day? Cashier wasn't friendly to us when we came in but was great to everyone after us. Burgers were ok. Got the classic and an old fashioned. Fries were ok. Onion rings were sopping wet in grease. They looked like a mess of kind of brown but wet onion pieces. Guys who came in after us looked like they got good onion rings.Won't be back again. at least the cashier said thanks when we left. read more

Great burgers. I have eaten there several times. The last time i ate there, it could definitely have been cleaner.

Burger was good but they refused to cut it in half. For $16 a little accommodation would have been nice.

Terrible service, No way a smash burger should take an hour. Staff jokes around while customers wait

All the food was delicious highly recommended. Everything was hot and fresh. The place was busy from the moment they opened up at 11am I can see what the hype is all about. read more

The burger was very favorable, seasoned just right but they can do better on the onions which were soggy. The onion rings were ok! I gave 4 stars because of the burger which I will be back soon read more

I came for a burger, and I didn't understand the menu and the girl at the counter was very patient with me. The service was fantastic. The restaurant was very clean. Skip to the facts and the burger was oh my God good I had the Danny's burger, shack burger, and it was the best burger I had in my life . These guys support cops, soldiers unions, and anyone hungry for a burger. Their chicken nuggets are best in the region. I tested my sensitive toddlers on many. These are real chicken. #1. read more

Danny's is probably a 3.5 star place for me. It's between "okay" and "good" for the price. Really nice people, fresh food, but I think it misses the mark just slightly. I ordered the Drunken Rancher burger ($10), and I felt that the flavors were a bit unbalanced. In addition, the ranch became so liquid in the burger that it caused the whole thing to be quite messy. I'm not against a messy burger, but I think it's worth mentioning. The fries ($3) were good, but could have been crispier. If you're in a hurry, this is probably not the place. Pro: everything seems to be made-to-order and cooked fresh. Con: you may feel like you're waiting a little bit longer than expected. A good local establishment, but I can't say I'd introduce out-of-towners to Danny's. read more

Terrific double bacon cheeseburger and onion rings made "in house" and a coke. Super friendly and pretty fast. I'll be doing lunch here again probably often read more

Good Burgers, But Be Prepared to Wait Danny's Burger Shack has some good burgers, but the 30-minute wait is very long. I assume the food is made fresh, which I appreciate, but it takes a lot of time. If you're bringing kids, I wouldn't recommend the chicken bites. They're very small, and my child ended up eating part of my burger instead. Overall, the double burger was tasty, but make sure you have some free time because you'll be there for a while. read more

Top notch burgers... The best burger my wife and I have had in a very long time. Nothing fancy but, done extremely right.

Well, I went over to Danny's Burger Shack tonight where I ran into a Drunken Rancher! This is one bad boy of a hamburger. I went with the double and probably should have stayed with the single. All kinds of flavors and textures going on in this burger. And all I can say is if you choose to order one of these you had better either bring a towel or better yet be ready to lick your fingers all the way up to your elbows! This bad boy is messy! Well done Danny's Burger Shack! Well done indeed! On a Wednesday evening, I am eating a monster burger and some tasty O'rings! read more

Danny's Burger Shack - The Drunken Rancher with two patties. - Burgers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

There's a reason why Danny's Burger Shack has such a high average for reviews on Yelp, and spoiler alert: it's because they make damn good food. It's not often that I find myself in this part of the Northland but amid the strip malls, and chain restaurants, it was such a pleasant surprise to find such a little hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming part of the metro. I LOVE that they have carved out this little niche and are giving the folks that live in this part of town something unique and delicious to support. The day I popped in it was cold, and I had a ton of errands to run. I wasn't quite in the mood for beef as I'm a bit more of a chicken sandwich girlie, so after some talking with the cashier I picked out a chicken sandwich, and had to order some onion rings to go with it. Now the only downside to my whole visit was on me because I had to eat on the go, and eating this giant mouthwatering sandwich and rings in my car was not the best choice, but I had no regrets despite the chicken crumbs and onion ring scent that lingered in my car afterwards. Perhaps this is just a marketing ploy to remind me to go back sooner? Regardless all I can say is that the chicken sandwich rivaled the best I've had, and I can't wait to return. This is the spot for a classic burger or chicken sandwich. No frills, just a good meal. read more

Grabbed lunch on a Saturday at Danny's. It was busy at lunch time, but since there were only 2 of us, we were able to find a spot at the counter near the kitchen. They have a discount for union members, law enforcement officers and service members! Be sure to take advantage of it, if it applies to you. I got the burger of the month and my husband got a classic. Both were good, but the tots were perfect!! I'm a fan of a thicker burger, and Danny's is a very thin burger, so I wouldn't say these were my favorites, but they were good. The burger of the month was very slippery and difficult to keep in the bun, but flavor was good. I'd stop by again if in the area at a meal time. read more

Danny's Burger Shack - Burger of the month and tots - Burgers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

It was a great burger, all made fresh to order. Fresh tots were crispy but not overdone. Clean store, clean tables. Quick friendly service.

I had the burger of the month with tots. It was hot a fresh! However it was rather salty tasting and was told to ask for DBS sauce at the counter next time. It was almost 18.00$ for my meal and you're gonna charge me for sauce? Not to mention behind the counter was filthy and the floors looked like they haven't been swept all day! I've been there many times since the beginning, but this experience was disappointing. I'll give it few before I go back again! read more
