    Cheeseburger and some stellar pickle spears
    Amy K.

    I got into St Louis late night after a very long drive and I was HUNGRY. I was very happy to find an open burger joint just up the road from my hotel. Everything about this place was perfect - the nostalgia, the service, the prices and the FOOD! I ordered a cheeseburger and fried pickle spears and both were absolutely delicious. I could not get over the size of the pickle spears! Really good quality for what you're paying and you'll be full. I wish I had more time to go back and try more of their menu items, including the shakes which looked outstanding. My next trip to KC I will absolutely be stopping by again!

    I've loved this restaurant since I was a kid. It's a must try side if the road eatery you have to try if you're into a good ol fashioned burger l, shake and fry situation. On my most recent visit, I just need a little something to snack on so I got the onion rings and a small cherry limeade. The taste and quality are the same, but the price has definitely gone up! That's inflation! The onion rings haven't changed a bit! Still crispy, sweet and fried to perfection. The service is always good, and the cooks get you in and out. There's no place to dine at this location, hence the "drive-in." This Location is always cleaned and has a minimalist approach on decor. ;)

    Cheeseburger & onion rings

    HiBoy Burger Joint has been around for 66 years and there's definitely good reasons why. It has been a good minute since I drove in to grab a burger, but I recently had a hankering for one so I made my way there. As I pulled in there was a steady flow of customers inside and others lined throughout the drive-in parking lot which has been the norm over the years. It's also a tell-tale sign for folks that are first-timers that something very special awaits them. I placed my order without waiting long & received my burger, onion rings & cherry shake in no time flat. The burger was ginormous & the sack was unbelievably overloaded with onion rings, enough for at least 2 meals, woo hoo! I must admit that my only disappointment was the shake had way too much cherry flavoring. Other than that, I was pleased. As far as dining in, forget it. There's plenty of standing room inside, but no seating so to-go is your only choice. One of the things I enjoy about HiBoy is they don't just make great burgers, but they also serve up a mean tenderloin, fish sandwich, chili dog, Italian steak, chicken sandwich, corn dog bites & the list goes on... The food is consistent which is a major deal in my book & you won't break the bank eating there either. The staff was pleasant & the restaurant was clean. One can't ask for much more than this! Sooooo, when you're in the mood for a good, old-fashioned drive-in meal THIS place is your spot.

    My frequent lunch companion and co-worker is always teaching me about KC treasures. After all, he's lived here his entire life and I'm a transplanted Texan. When I told him I was taking my family to a Royals game a couple of nights ago he asked if we had any pre-game traditions. I said, "We don't tailgate, if that's what you mean." He told me that his family's routine for every trip to Kauffman Stadium was to stop at HiBoy Drive In. I pulled up the website and, POOF-- there was a new Hollan family tradition! HiBoy looks like and old Dairy Queen that's been enclosed and tailored to the unique HiBoy aesthetic. You order at the counter and wait on your order. There's no dining room, so you know when you go there you're getting take out. My family of four ordered a 1/4 pound cheeseburger, a Junior HiBoy, a 1/4 pound HiBoy and a Tenderloin Sandwich. We also tried Onion Rings, Tots, and Fried Pickle spears. Prices were very reasonable and the quality was SURPRISINGLY GOOD for what one might expect at an establishment like this. We topped off our meals with a strawberry limeade and a Barq's Red Cream Soda. It was PERFECT. I didn't give it five stars because it just doesn't feel like a five star establishment, but it was a SOLID four stars and I'll DEFINITELY be going back!

    Tried out Mugs Up in Independence, Missouri, and absolutely loved the old-school drive-in…read moreatmosphere. The carhops came right up to our window to take our order and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu is surprisingly large for such a small place. We ordered the Wiz Burger, chicken nuggets, tots, onion rings, fries, and Brown Cow root beer floats. Prices were very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. One thing I really loved was the option to order their homemade root beer in an ice-cold glass mug (which you return when you're done). It definitely adds to the nostalgic experience. Our favorite items were the crispy tater tots, the chicken nuggets (which were more like mini chicken strips), and the root beer floats. The Wiz Burger was definitely unique, but it wasn't a crowd-pleaser in our car. It's made with loose meat mixed with onions, pickles, and cheese, which may appeal to some but wasn't our favorite. I'd definitely go back to try the chicken sandwich, pork tenderloin, or spicy buffalo dog. The food itself might be closer to 3 stars, but the unique throwback nostalgia of the carhop era bumps the overall experience into 4-star territory. It's a must-try-at-least-once kind of place.

    I stopped in recently, all the 70 years in buisness got my attention. Sincerely from my heart…read morecongratulations. I bought the mug for Independence memorabilia. My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.
