Where can you find one of the best cheeseburgers in the US? St. Louis, Yelp reviewers say
A St. Louis restaurant serves one of the best cheeseburger in the U.S., according to popular review site Yelp.
Jack Nolen’s was named by Yelp as the restaurant with the best cheeseburger in Missouri.
The company created the ranking by focusing on restaurants with a large number of reviews mentioning “cheeseburger.” Yelp then took those restaurants and ranked them using the total number of ratings with that word from Jan. 1 and July 20, coming up with its “Top cheeseburgers in every state in 2023.”
Advertised as veteran-owned and operated, Jack Nolen’s has 135 five-star reviews on Yelp as of Thursday.
“I don’t say this lightly but I’m pretty sure this is among the best burgers if not the best I’ve had in my life,” one reviewer wrote in August.
“Delish!! Simple menu that is burgers, fries and a chicken sandwich, BUT when simple is done right, it’s unbeatable!!,” another review from September 2022 reads.
Yelp’s pick for Illinois, Au Cheval, is located in Chicago.
