I like older mom and pop type feeling establishments and checked all the boxes, value is there, flavor is there, just very enjoyable.

This was my first time here and I love the old school burger join feel and vibe. The burgers are also still served like you would find in a small town burger drive up place. I got the burger and fries and the burger came out cooked perfect, the toppings tasted and looked fresh. Fries were cooked to a nice crisp.

The Snack Shack is my new favorite spot for a chill Friday night. The vibe is very retro -- like an old school diner. And the folks that work there are always very nice. The food though, is the standout thing at Snack Shack. The hamburgers are so good. The burgers aren't too small -- ample thickness. The buns are yummy. And the drinks are stellar. I live for their cherry limeade with the lime sorbet to top it off. The shakes are awesome too. And if you have a kiddo with you, you can get a kid sized shake with their meal for a small up-charge. I highly recommend The Snack ShacK! Be sure you're nice and hungry so you can really soak up your meal!

Found this place by accident and decided to give it a shot. Very cute diner decor inside. You order at the counter and then they call you to grab the food when it's ready. I opted for the original burger basket - with cheese. The burger comes topped with lettuce, onion, pickles, and tomato, but no condiments. There is mustard on the tables and they provide a cup of ketchup with the basket. I'm more of a mayo person when it comes to burgers, but decided to try it as they serve it. The burger was ok. I understand the concept of a smash burger but this patty was so thin it almost wasn't there. It was pretty dry, even with the cheese so the mustard and ketchup helped there. The fries were hot a nicely salted. If you're a fan of smashburgers that get a little crispy, this is for you. For those of you that like a bit thicker, juicer burger, I would try someplace else.

Classic old school burgers. This place is awesome. I'm a big fan of the classic smash burger style, and got a double cheeseburger with shack sauce. It hit all the great notes of this style of burger. I got the crispy edges on the patties, but they were still nice and juicy in the middle. The cheese was melted perfectly. The veggies were fresh and cold. I could see this place in an argument for best burger in the metro for sure especially if you are diving deep into the smashed style. If you enjoy Westport Flea Market or Cosmo, I think you'd like this burger as well. I didn't think the fries were as strong as the burger, but with the shack sauce to dip in, they were above average. Service was fast and friendly, and the place has an an old diner feel to it as well.

The Snack Shack on Johnson Drive is nostalgia overload and I'm not complaining. I popped in here to pick up some burgers and fries for a weekend lunch with friends as we had kids in tow, and anyone who has small children knows they love hamburgers. Looking for an alternative to the usual fast food joints, we decided to try out the Snack Shack. The last time I'd done the Snack Shack was probably more than six years ago back when their location was along Santa Fe in downtown Overland Park. I remember liking it, but they had messed up part of my to-go order and I wasn't blown away. That being said, I was pretty hyped up to give them another try. Walking in, the space is insanely charming. We actually tried to bribe the kids to stay and dine in but they were nearly to tears at the idea of not eating at home so we just enjoyed the vintage diner vibes while we waited for our food to cook up. I had a burger and onion rings, my husband and daughter both had burgers and fries, and my cousin also had the rings. The burgers here are solid. They came out within a reasonable amount of time and satisfied the craving for an old school diner style smashburger. The sides are enormous, which is great for value, but something I wished I'd known before as we had more fries than we could handle - again, NOT the worst problem! The fries were great, but the rings were honestly a bit of a letdown. They really lacked flavor. So ultimately 4/5 for ambiance, and solid burgers and fries. I'm sure we'll be back!

It could be said that my favorite food item is a burger, so I'm always trying new places in a search for the best burger around. The Snack Shack in Mission, KS resides in the same building that used to be occupied by Town Topic, which is a Kansas City favorite. The building has had a facelift and the staff is SUPER friendly. There isn't a ton of room inside, but it keeps an old school diner vibe. They offer a few items, but I'd say that the smash burgers are their specialty. And it's a pretty decent burger. Not the best I've ever had, but it is FAR from the worst. It was good enough that I returned a couple weeks later for more. If you haven't been to Snack Shack, you should absolutely check them out.

What a a fantastic burger place! Walking through the door is like stepping back in time to an old diner counter. Menu is limited but that's what you want! I ordered the cheeseburger/fry combo and it did not disappoint. 2 smashed patties with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. The perfect bite and overall meat was very flavorful. My only regret is not ordering a shake, will do that next time to dip my fries in! Cute spot for food. 5/5, highly recommend for everyone to stop in. Bonus it's in the old downtown Mission area which is already so cute to be in.

Best Chocolate Shake in KC Serving up some of the tastiest burgers in the metro. Located on Johnson Dr in Mission this diner gives you all the old school vibes. The snack attack is my go to order. Juicy cheeseburger, crisp golden fries and a drink. The hype may be all about the burgers, but I don't think enough attention is given to their shakes! The chocolate shake is my personal favorite. Smooth and just the right amount of chocolate. Yum!
