Friendly, comfortable, great calfburgers

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
  • Overall user rating: Recommended

Best burger on the planet!

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.
  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

Best Burger in St Louis

The calf burgers are the best!!! They'll cook them any way you want. The cheddar burger is great!!!

  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

Beats Hardees every time

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
  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

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
  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended

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!

  • Overall user rating: Highly Recommended
