Exploring Kansas City’s Top 3 Burger Stops!

Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog! Today’s post is one I’m particularly excited about because we’re diving into the world of mouthwatering cheeseburgers in Kansas City. Who doesn’t love a good burger, right? Join me as we embark on a delicious tour of three of the hottest burger spots in town.

1. Town Topic: A Nostalgic Diner Experience

Our first stop takes us to the iconic Town Topic, a beloved establishment serving up delicious burgers since the 1930s. Situated in downtown Kansas City, Town Topic exudes a nostalgic diner-style ambiance that’s hard to resist. Featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” this eatery has garnered nationwide attention for its classic cheeseburger sliders.

One standout feature of Town Topic is its 24/7 operation, offering patrons the opportunity to indulge in their favorite burgers any time of day or night. Whether you’re craving a late-night snack or a midday treat, Town Topic welcomes you with open arms. Soak in the retro vibes, pair your burger with a milkshake, and take a trip back in time at this Kansas City institution.

2. Westport Flea Market: Where Burgers Meet Bar Vibes

Next up, we’re heading to my personal favorite, Westport Flea Market. This unique eatery, nestled in the heart of a flea market, has been a local hotspot since the 1980s. Known for its generously sized, juicy burgers made from prime cut ground beef sourced from the legendary Fareway Meat Market (formerly McGonigle’s), Westport Flea Market promises a flavorful experience with every bite.

Unlike Town Topic’s diner ambiance, Westport Flea Market boasts a lively bar atmosphere complete with shuffleboard, pool, and, of course, an extensive selection of burgers. Ordering at the bar and paying with cash adds to the authentic charm of this establishment. And if you’re feeling adventurous, take on the Super Flea challenge—a five-patty burger extravaganza that’s not for the faint of heart.

3. Courthouse Exchange: Historic Charm and Delicious Burgers

Our final destination brings us to Courthouse Exchange, housed in a century-old building that once served as a courthouse in downtown Independence. Steeped in history, this restaurant offers patrons a unique dining experience with its rock walls, wooden bar, and historic ambiance.

Featured on Travel Channel’s “Man Versus Food,” Courthouse Exchange is renowned for its half-pound burger topped with bacon and cheese on a toasted bun—a culinary masterpiece that keeps customers coming back for more. Whether you’re dining downstairs amidst the historic features or soaking up the sun on the outdoor patio, Courthouse Exchange promises a memorable burger experience.
