Ever just start craving an old-fashioned meal of a juicy burger, fries, and an ice cold root beer? Fortunately, we live in a state that’s bursting with restaurants that serve delicious burgers, so we always have our fair share of places that can cure that craving. For an old school experience, however, you’ll definitely want to consider a visit to this burger joint in Missouri that’s been around for six decades.

Feel a rush of nostalgia at Carl's Drive In, in Brentwood, which first opened in 1959, offering its famous burgers through its curb service and a walk-up window.

Today, the classic burger joint's as popular as ever, still serving some of the area's best burgers.

Carl's Drive In no longer offers its curbside service.
Slip into a seat at the quaint restaurant that's known for its burgers, but you'll have a generous selection of other classic foods from which to choose.

How about kicking off your meal with an ice cold, homemade root beer, a thick milkshake, or an old-fashioned ice cream float?

Sip your drink as you decide what to order. Burgers, of course, are at the top of the menu, available in single, double, and triple and with or without cheese.
