When I saw the Jam Burger on the menu, I knew I had to try it. Angus patty, thick cut bacon, peanut butter and spicy strawberry jam on Texas toast. It was 100% the right choice. To say it was delicious is an understatement. I've never had anything quite like it. Absolutely give it a try. read more

The burger was great got the western burger it has cheddar onion rings barbecue sauce I did the quarter pound and I still couldn't finish it. The staff is amazing, very friendly and making sure that we're well taken care of. There was a couple eating the jalapeno poppers and they said they were great. The next time I go through that town I'm definitely going to stop again. read more

Food was great - the burger especially. Service was very good. The girl apologized for slow service and I think we had our food within 10 minutes or so of ordering - so no need for apology. It's a cute place for a casual dinner. Would come again read more

Good food and service. Had the big BLT. With the cole slaw. It is the sweet cole slaw. The toilet was broken and torn out when we were there. Only the one for the restaurant. Sounded like bad maintenance. Would have been a 5 if not for the toilet. read more

Stopped by while traveling Route 66 after seeing all of the billboards indicating it was one of the top burgers on Route 66. Server was attentive and did her best to work through the after church rush. There was a line out of the door and we had to wait a bit, but not longer than 10 minutes or so. Food was cooked well, even with a few special requests of the kitchen (blame a picky eater in the fam). Overall we agreed that the server was great (attentive, nice, and knowledgeable) and the food was typical of a tourist attraction (not the best, but OK). The biggest issue was the food was slow out of the kitchen (approximately 45 minutes after arrival we received our food), but we had a view of the kitchen and the cooks were running around like a machine (actually working, and definitely doing their best to keep up with the rush). Overall, would recommend for a tourist stop if you have the time! read more

Good, but not the best I've ever had. I guess I'm spoiled with the burgers I've had all over the world. The place was nice and clean and the staff friendly. I enjoyed the think bread and I'm a sucker for tater tots. I'd eat here again, and probably try one of their specialties. read more

Rich's Famous Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Saint James, Missouri

Traveling through Missouri we were in the mood for a burger. We found this quaint " little gem " in the midst of St. James , MO. I came across this Slow cooked Italian Beef sandwich. I had to try it. Let me tell you! If you're in the mood for comfort food that hits all the right notes, look no further than the Slow-Cooked Italian Beef Sandwich at Rich's Famous Burgers. This hearty classic is the kind of sandwich that stops conversations. Tender, slow-roasted Italian beef is piled high onto a fresh, crusty hoagie roll that holds up beautifully under the weight of all that juicy, flavorful goodness. The meat is seasoned to perfection--rich with garlic, oregano, and a hint of red pepper--and soaked in its own savory jus that takes hours to build and seconds to fall in love with. What takes it over the top? A generous layer of melted provolone cheese, subtly sharp and buttery, blanketing the beef in creamy decadence. This beef sandwich is a symphony of textures and bold, satisfying flavors. Pair it with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad, and you've got yourself a great meal. Although not original to Missouri it's a have to have at this place. It's a must-have for sandwich lovers. read more

Sliders were tasty! Fries were just ok, satisfying enough. I was pretty full after two sliders so I didn't eat a lot of the fries. I don't have a huge appetite though. I ordered this through a delivery app, so I'm not sure about service or ambiance. I'd go to check it out sometime. read more

We popped in for a quick meal on our travels back to STL from the Lake. My husband was craving a "good burger" so why not try the place that advertises. FAMOUS BURGERS?! I'm not a huge burger fan so I found the Italian beef sandwich wine grilled onions and to be extra, I ordered the cheese fries. The beef was a great texture. Tender and juicy but a little salty for my taste. The soft bread, melted cheese and grilled onions were the perfect toppings. Now, the cheese fires were a little disappointing... I excepted to get waste calories on fries smothered in a rich cheese sauce... instead it was a cup of what appeared to be canned cheese, slightly warmed. The fries themselves were good... but definitely not what I was hoping for. My husband ordered the original 1/2 lbs burger. Added cheese, onions and bacon. He said it was good. Perfectly cooked patty. Crispy thick bacon. He too said the fries were really good. The service was quick and did a good job! All around good choice for a quick late lunch! read more

Road trip stop. Service was quick and waitress was friendly. We ordered a patty melt (split it) and a side of onion rings. (I had read somewhere that their onion rings were really great.) Not as impressed by those (the best are found, in my opinion, are The Joint in Eddyville KY ..but I digress). That said? The Patty Melt may be the best I ever had in my life. PERFECT. And the lemonade is yummy too. I highly recommend the place and we will definitely stop in next time we are driving that way. read more

Heard great things about this place. On way to St. Louis we stopped off. Located in cute part of charming town, plenty of parking. All the staff looked up when we walked in but nobody acknowledged us, stood waiting for a few minutes until someone came over and seated us. Started with ghost pepper cheese curds which were hot but delicious, Gouda Mac & cheese & bacon bites were yummy. I opted for chicken hot mess sandwich which was funny cause I don't like messy sandwiches, chicken was yummy, overall a bit soggy & sweet for me. Fries were crispy & hot, however my portion was significantly smaller than my partner's. He had the Jam burger, an old favorite of his which he loved. Service was good, refills on time, overall meal timing was good. read more

First time here and it was a great choice and we will definitely be back next time in area. Service was friendly and efficient. Nice variety of food options on menu so almost something for everyone. Chose the fried mushrooms to start and was really happy with them, the coating was almost a tempura batter coating making them better than normal battered mushrooms. Husband and I both had the Western Burger, 1/4 pound fresh burger seasoned and grilled to perfection covered with cheddar cheese, bbq sauce, bacon and a crispy onion ring served with hot crispy fries .Definitely worth stopping by and patronizing a local small business. read more

Delicious! The jam burger is amazing. And their catfish is fresh and delicious. We haven't had anything there that we didn't love.

Unique, off the beaten path. Delicious food. Juicy cheeseburger peanut butter was phenomenal.

First time at Rick's and was the best burger I have had in a long time. Went with the Jam Burger and was amazed how the flavors work together. The Texas toast as a bun was a perfect addition. Great service and will make sure I stop again when traveling thru. Sat in the back room , cool design. read more

Awesome meal Great service Fun atmosphere Glad to find this little treasure of a place read more

Burger was dry, the bacon tasty but tough, and not handmade. The fries tasted old. It was 3:30 or so, but still. Service was exemplary as we had Mariah and she's a wonder! Ambience? Eh, another burger joint, loud music at mid afternoon. read more

Always great down home food. Nothing super fancy, but always delicious. More than just a restaurant Rich's is about giving back to those in need. Have a few extra bucks, pre-buy a meal for someone in need. Definitely worth the stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My favorite is Friday night fish night. read more

Carried out Burger's, fries and onion rings from Rich's in St. James last Saturday on a visit to my brother at the VA Home. Order was correct and the food delicious. My brother enjoyed it very much and was happy to have something from somewhere other than the kitchen of the VA. read more

In town, decided to drive around before I head back to Olathe, you can't miss this place, with big sign out front, read reviews and decide to check this place out, my server was running the register and told me to sit wherever, the young man ask me what I wanted to drink, I received coffee and a menu too, said your server will be with u, the server was very nice, I got the two eggs, hash browns and your choice of bacon or sausage with my choice of bread, my server ask which meat I wanted and mentioned about bacon, I even got some water, a family walked in, you know this place has to be good for locals pick this place over other places, this place is off the beaten path, the problem is we are in a hurry, we don't look for gems, there is popular brewery down the street, breakfast here and brewery in the afternoon, read more

The food/service got bad for a short little while but now is good again. The last two times we went there were both really good. I'm glad they got their food back. And you can tell. It gets packed. People now love the food. read more

The service here is always great but tonight's meal was extremely disappointing. Got the chicken fingers which is 3 chicken strips w/ fries. The fries had WAY too much salt on them. Even after wiping off the salt I could barely eat them. The chicken was slightly overcooked so the outside was super crispy/crunchy and the honey mustard dipping sauce is made with Dijon so it has that weird twang. I couldn't even eat it. Threw 1/2 the meal away which sucks b/c I can't really even afford to eat out right now; I just needed a break from cooking all the time. $10 down the drain. Probably won't be going back or at least won't ever order this particular item again. read more

this is by far the best burger in Southeast Missouri. I am from out of the area, but I do visit this area at least three times a year for more than two weeks at a time they have by far the best burger that I've had in the state. In fact, I would say this is a top three burger of all burgers I've ever had, The freshness is unparalleled. The bun is among the best and if we wanna talk about fries, they are in the top 10. read more

I ordered the Western burger with onion rings. I only ordered a 1/4# patty. It was pretty good. Might have been better with a 1/2#. The onion rings were crunchy and needed some type of seasoning. The service was pretty good. The servers were very attentive. This place isn't fancy by any means, but what you would expect from a burger joint. They do change a service fee if using a credit card to pay. The prices seem to be reasonable. read more

Oh my goodness...if you are looking for an awesome juicy flavorful burger, Rich's is the place to go. I'm stuck on the Western Burger. We always get cheese curds(garlic) and onion rings. The fries that come with the burger are done..crunchy and flavorful. Service is always a 10/10. Ambience...heck it's another joint. Sometimes quiet, sometimes loud..who cares. ITS ALWAYS GOOD! We always hit the one in St. James because it is in our path to where we are headed. read more

Our waiter, Scott, was so attentive and friendly. He moved quickly too to get to all the customers. We stopped on our way back from Branson today and it was busy at 3:20. All you can eat catfish on Friday. We came in for the burgers, and they were good. Fries were the chunky fries and they were hot. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I went here recently while we were vacationing. We liked our waitress and my husband thought she did a good job. I got the breakfast burger with cheese curds and he got the barbecue burger with onion rings. We both would give our food a three 3 and thought it tasted very average. My breakfast burger was a little too done for me, but it did fill me up. Really, the highlight of our visit was the nice waitress that waited on us. We did leave there full from what we ate. read more

My grandson was with a party of 10 on 1/17/25 in the evening. He ordered a catfish sandwich to go the waitress said it would be better to get the catfish dinner to go so that's what he ordered along with an Italianbeef sandwich. Paid for it. When he was dropped off at home he looked in the bag the sandwich was there but not the catfish dinner. He took the receipt in to either get his money back or the food and riches refused to do either. So we and I have a big family and a lot of friends will not be giving riches anymore money so they can rip people off of their money and not supplying the product. read more

Service was quick, very friendly, and welcoming. The atmosphere was tranquil, friendly, and small-town-like. The food was good for the price and was quick considering we went during lunchtime.

When we arrived we were glad to see there were only 5 or 6 tables occupied and half of them had their food. We were seated quickly , the rest of our party were the next ones through the door and our drinks arrived quickly. No one else had ordered before us so we were expecting good food in a timely manner. It didn't work out that way. After we placed our order and had been chatting for a while a group of three came in. While we waited for our food they ordered their meals, received their food, ate their food, paid for their food and left before our first plate arrived. When our food arrived almost an hour after we ordered only about 75% of it showed up. As some of us waited for the rest of our food we started to eat what had made it to the table and several of the plates had eggs and or hashbrowns that were already to cold to choke down. It took over ten more minutes for the rest of the food to trickle out and we had to repeat the missing items to the servers over and over again. Our waitress was very nice and tried to get everything corrected but the servers and the kitchen were more than she could make up for. If the food would have been served hot it probably would have been pretty good. read more
