Mac’s is the BEST smash burger you will find ANYWHERE!!! I love the captain and rip fries! My husband gets the 5th element (5 party captain). The rip fries are Divine, and the cheese sauce is delish. We used to go on a weekly basis for years, and moving from St. Louis, we miss it so much. Not only is their quality of beef unmatched, they understand how to smash!!! Beautiful crispy lacy edges! Yum. We went back visiting home recently and it is still as good as ever. The owner is always there and he is great to talk to, doing the work like everyone else picking up tables and running food.

This has been one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. I ordered the Ultimate! Gooey Garlic and onion rings, and they were incredible. The food alone would’ve been enough to bring me back, but everything else made the night even better. The atmosphere was amazing! Love music that was upbeat, enchanting, and fit the vibe perfectly.

It was my first time visiting this local gem, and I was so impressed! We felt warm and welcome thanks to the friendly staff member who took our order at the counter. He gave us great suggestions and was kind enough to give us a free snack when he found out it was our first visit. ​After ordering, we were surprised by how fast the food arrived—hot and tasty! I even told my husband it’s one of the best burgers I’ve tried in STL so far. We finished everything quickly, and once again, the staff were amazing: friendly, polite, and efficient. We will definitely be back!

Mac’s Local Eats is a solid spot if you’re craving a smash burger. The burgers themselves were good—not the absolute best I’ve had, but definitely satisfying. The real standout was the fries—easily top tier and probably the highlight of the meal. The service was really good—friendly, quick, and made the experience better overall. That said, the pricing was tough to justify. We spent over $100 for 4 burgers, 1 onion ring, and 4 drinks—and that was with us sharing fries and ordering pretty light. For what you get, it feels a bit overpriced. Overall, good food, great fries, and strong service—but
