Best burger on the planet!
by rwboyd

2006 marks the Fatted Calf's 40th anniversary in the same building on Bemiston Ave., never once even so much as remodeled to the best of my knowledge, although in the beginning they had only the tall tables with little pots of ketchup mixed with relish on them. There were at one time Fatted Calf restaurants in Boston and Chicago (I know, because I lived in those places and ate at them) and perhaps elsewhere. Now the original one in St. Louis is the only one left, as far as I know. There is precious little left in St. Louis that I remember from that far back and what remains is mostly greatly changed. The Fatted Calf is a treasure to be cherished! I've never found a burger I liked better and I've lived all over the country.
- Pros: The best burger on the planet, at a fair price, in a great environment. Friendly staff
- Cons: Big crowds and a long line at lunch time on weekdays.
Burgers are good but Chicken sandwich is Wonderful!!

I love eating at the Fatted Calf. I usually order their Chicken Sandwich. It comes with lettuce, tomato, a small packet of mayo and that soft cheddar cheese. It's wonderful. It's a fairly big sandwich and I usually eat it all. It's so very jucy that I usually have juice dripping down my hand. It's the best chicken sandwich that I've ever had.
Their burgers are okay, BUT -I am not a burger person. Just saying that I've eaten one is saying a whole lot. My husband LOVES their burgers.
Also, they have secret menu items. Their fried mushrooms are yummy!!
- Pros: chicken sandwich is great, if you sign up on their e-club you get coupons

Nestled in the heart of Clayton, a casual place to grab a great meal. Eventhough it is counter service, it is friendly and accomodating to the needs of their customers.
- Pros: Location

You can order a burger cooked the way you want it and get it that way every time. Try getting your burger with cheddar or swiss or blue cheese at the other burger places. The fries and hamburger meat are much higher quality.
- Pros: Menu choices, Friendly staff, Good service
Try This Delicious Hideaway!

Just imagine going to a favorite, quiet hideaway club and finding... made to order hot, delicious burgers like no other burger you have ever eaten. Imagine the atmosphere filled with recently grilled burgers topped with viaious choices of high quality cheeses and other incredible additions. All of this and the prices are very reasonable to boot. The ambiance is that of an English Pub as the aroma is wonderful and very flavorful. You won't go wrong coming here. Enjoy!
- Pros: Incredible Burgers,, Wonderful Ambiance,
- Cons: Poor Parking, Very Crowded at Noon
LOVE THE CHEESE!

My favorite thing about the Fatted Calf's burgers is the "soft" cheddar cheese. There are only two other places in St. Louis that offer that type cheese - Tuckers and Dooleys. Try the Fatted Calf burgers, you'll like them.
Fast burgers don't get much better

I first ate at a Fatted Calf (as a child) in the late 1960s when they were downtown. My father worked downtown, and it was a real "businessman's hangout." Your only choice was wat kind of cheese you wanted on your burger. My memories were of one of the best burgers I had ever eaten. Why this never became a national franchise, I don't know. But it should have been!
GREAT burgers!

The Fatted Calf has been serving my favorite hamburger for over 30 years. There are none better in the St. Louis area as far as I'm concerned.
- Pros: juicy burgers, decent prices
