On the quest to find the best burger in Kansas City, I tested Hi-Boy Drive-In, and it honestly did…read morequite well. Hi-Boy is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s when it was first opened and even has a neon sign that looks great at night. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and while they don't have bacon here, the burger was cooked to perfection. With just a bit of char around the edges for a crunch and a flavorful and juicy middle of the patty would've been enough to get a great review. But Hi-Boy also makes an AMAZING French fry that I couldn't get enough of. This spot is a very long drive from my house, but that's not going to stop me from visiting again and again.

If social media existed in the 1980's then this Hi-Boy would have hundreds of 'check-ins" from me…read more I used to work just a couple of miles from here for about a decade and I was regularly here to destroy their daily specials or my favorite - the Double Hi-Boy Jr. with rings. An inside walk up counter without any seating on the premises, is one of the reasons my visits have been infrequent over the past 35 years. I usually head to one of their two other locations now so I don't have to eat in my vehicle. This past Saturday i did stop in and order a tenderloin, since i am in the middle of "Ralphie's Tenderloin Tour" with 12 tenderloins under my belt (figuratively and literally) in the past month. Unfortunately their breaded pork tenderloin is mass produced and frozen, so it did not make it close to the top tier in my rankings, but for what it is ...it ain't bad. I did like that they put plenty of veggie toppings and their burger sauce on it for maximum taste. I'll probably stick with the burgers on all future visits. 3.5 stars for the tendy... 5 stars for the burgers, rings, cyclones, variety and value of the menu, and of course the decades of nostalgia and fond memories.

I've got to admit, the chicken tenders at this location are pretty awesome - big, crispy, meaty,…read moreand piping hot, even after the drive home. I got four tenders the first time I ordered, and they also gave me fries, a drink, and a biscuit for $6.99 plus tax. The second time I ordered the same four tenders they automatically assumed I wanted a combo when I asked if it came with fries (the combo is over $10). I just ordered the four tenders, but they were still awesome, and they came with a biscuit. They cook everything to order, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. And don't bother phoning in an order, because they won't start preparing it until you get there and pay.

Originally I thought the bird end fries were going to be mid but the meat was really rich and the thickness of the fries really helped. I wish I had more. I was told when you get the meat you supposed to drown it and sauce and I thought that it was going to be like that for the ribs but they weren't I was disappointed at first. The meat was very flavorful and you can tell they put some real love in the meat. Bold, spiced, savory and salted perfectly. I came from recommendations from a Lyft driver but he told me there was mac and cheese but there wasn't mac and cheese on the app. I was sad about that only. Everything else was perfect to the touch. I'm going to sleep like a big baby bear tonight lol. You need some sweets though. I ordered on insta cart. So I'm guessing I probably missed The full experience but next time I'm in town I'm heading in to sit. Also didn't know this was a franchise. I totally understand why. I don't need fancy looking I just need good flavored food and this deliveries!! Appreciate it. This was a great last meal from KC. I'm no Queefs fan but I bet this would be excellent for a football day. Last thing this is way better than Texas barbecue. KC is definitely 5X better

The cheesy tater tots were also a huge hit, crispy and satisfying from the first bite to the last. What really blew me away were the prices. We're talking cheaper than your typical fast food chain, but the quality is so much better. You genuinely feel like you're getting a steal every time you order.

There are several Texas Toms locations to visit throughout the Kansas City area, and this is one you should skip. I ordered the pork tenderloin combo with mozzarella sticks and a pink lemonade. The guy taking our order was not friendly and the lobby to wait for the order was cold. As such, we sat in the car to wait. When the order was ready, I immediately took a bite of the mozzarella stick, no cheese pull! It was just up and stuck, eeeyuck! The tenderloin sandwich was thrown together, greasy, refried - completely underwhelming. When I requested fresh mozzarella sticks, the attendant insisted they were and after about five minutes, took them back and very likely gave me the same ones... you've guessed it, refried. This incident comes after having placed virtually the same order from the Linwood location. The mozzi sticks were hot and fresh, insane cheese pull, a real treat! The tenderloin sandwich was fresh, good portions, hot with soft bread - along with a pleasant customer service experience. This review is for my extra people who will drive the distance to ensure good food and good service. While this location is closer, I will be returning to the Linwood location which surprisingly has a lower rating. It will give me an opportunity to see the consistency. Please let me know in the comments if I should check out other locations!!

The parking lot is... interesting, but there's generally more than enough spots. The drive thru is tightly wrapped by the street, but is easy enough to get into. The decor is perfectly average. There's nothing eye popping, except for the old original pricing on some boards in the back. The food itself, from the namesake burgers to the tenderloin sandwiches to the fries and onion rings; everything is just good and priced well. It's not Culver's level elite, but it's a nice step up from the McDonald's of the world. It comes out hot and is always right. The staff is always friendly and they move quickly. So if you're in the neighborhood and need a quick lunch or dinner, it's worth stopping in.
