Great local hamburger / hot dog / root beer stand. One of a kind!. Carl's is at least as good as all the previous reviews. Great, fresh, delicious food, icy and refreshing root beer, and a neat place to visit and dine.

I miss Carl's!. I used to live one mile from Carl's, now I live 2,144 miles from Carl's. Some days I'd still make the drive to get a few burgers, fries and a huge icy root beer. Growing up in STL I didn't realize quite how special a place like Carl's drive-in was. Now it is one of a handful of dining experiences in my life that compares to nothing else, part nostalgia for a taste of home and part just wonderful food, a craving that nothing else can satisfy. I haven't been back home in years, but when I go Carl's will be one of the first stops I make. I just hope they're open when I get there.

Carl's One of a Kind. Although the spacious room one desires to be accompanied with while dining isn't available, Carl's makes up for it with their exceptional burgers and wonderful hot dogs. And don't forget an ice cold glass of A&W rootbeer. When I go to Carl's I feel very very comfortable and welcome. i almost kind of feel like I'm six years old and getting to go to the candy shop in the 50s. It's a wonderful experience.

Great food and great rootbeer. Burger - great rootbeer float - great onion rings - great fries - average service - people who work there are unfriendly kids - baby daughter had her first ever giggle at Carl's

I'll gladly pay you tuesday.... For 3 or 4 Carl's burgers today. Don't mess with getting just one - it will just frustrate you. The fixings are perfect, the bun just right. I can only imagine this is what MacDonald's was like back in the day before billions and billions were sold. Good Eats.
