CHRISTY'S HAMBURGERS - Cottleville, MO

Christy's Hamburger's is located on Mid Rivers Mall Drive in Cottleville, MO.. Christy's was voted "Best Burger in St. Louis (Chain Category) by St. Louis Magazine.   It is a chain that started in Mississippi and now adding locations in Missouri.  Besides the St. Peter's location a new location is being added in Manchester/Ballwin, MO.
  Heaping amount of food at a fair price. Sometimes you want a quality beef burger.  Next time though I will request Medium to  Medium Rare. The burger was a bit over cooked to my liking.    But even w/ that it was still tasty and juicy.
