Danny's Burger Shack

It amazes me how there are creative people out there who can take simple, common ingredients and turn them into something that is memorable. Let’s talk hamburgerlers! Specifically, the hamburgerler known as Sweet Heat! Danny’s Burger Shack has this incredible concoction, along with other incredible looking concoctions, such as the Bruised Heifer and a Drunken rancher, just three that are listed on the menu. Now they take a ¼ lb. patty of their special blend and sear it on the flat top, cover that with Cheddar cheese, add some field greens, caramelized onions, jalapeno jam, truffle Dijon and some bacon. They lay all of that between a fresh bun and shazam, an incredibly delicious hamburgerler is born! When you bite into this treasure, the first thing I noticed was a hint of sweetness followed by the savory flavors of beef and cheese. Then there is the saltines and smoke of the bacon and the crunch of the greens. On the third bite I could start to get a hint of heat. That heat was wa

Wow! This was, hands down, the BEST BURGER in Kansas City. After trying places like LC’s, Town Topic, and others and walking away mildly satisfied…this place blew mind and was what I was after. Danny & Nikki, the husband & wife owners/operators, are all about quality and detail. Talking about house made onion rings, sourcing the perfect bun, getting a great sear and crust on the burger, to getting a custom beef blend…you can tell they truly care. This place should be a contender for The Pitch best burger next year. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Decided to go here on a whim and had zero regrets. Food was 10/10. Fries remind me of McDonald’s but were hot, fresh and salted perfectly. Make sure to ask for DBS sauce. I got the sweet heat burger and that was one of the best jam burgers I’ve ever had. Juicy and melts in your mouth. Would definitely come back again.
