Joe Bonwich has been the restaurant critic for the Post-Dispatch since 2002 and has covered the local food scene for various publications for more than 25 years. He does his best to maintain his anonymity so that he isn't recognized in restaurants (which is why his picture looks like it does). 
Not that impressive
Obviously, get the soft cheddar. Best burger in town, and it’s not really close.
FATTED CALF HAS THE BEST BURGERS IN TOWN. I HAVE ATE THERE SINCE I WAS IN MY TWENTIES AND I AM APPROACHING 60 NEXT YEAR. WELL WORTH THE TRIP TO CLAYTON FOR ONE OF THEIR BURGERS
The burgers are not bad but not the “Best Burger in Town”. Try the cheddar burger at Tuckers.
The burgers are very good at Fatted Calf, but my only complaint is that they nickel and dime you for every extra topping. Why do they charge extra for lettuce and tomato?
Don’t forget about their fries! Yum!!
He sure uses the word great loosely.
Seamus McDaniel is far and away the best burger in STL.
Really? I thought their burger resembled what I got in my high school cafeteria.
The Fatted Calf is the best burger in town. Best Fries, Best Onion Rings.
Best Soft Cheddar. YUM.
dcb95sol - they nickel and dime you on the extra toppings because they are locally owned and operated and need to keep all expenses in check to continue to provide you with the quality product.
I personally prefer to not have to ask for no tomato, then get tomato on my burger and have to pick it off and dive around for the nasty little seeds!! EWWW
