Bud's Cafe & Bar   

Without a doubt, Bud's has the best burgers in town. This local haunt is always listed under the best burger categories and boasts a following from all over the state. Located in Sedalia, this tiny little spot serves up delicious patties and steamy buns. It's nothing fancy and they don't serve fries, but it's not much of an issue because once you get a taste of these tasty treats, you're hooked for life. Cheap beer, friendly service and an ultra-casual atmosphere make for a unique burger experience. A couple of helpful hints: There's always a wait and patrons need to bring cash as plastic is not accepted here. -- Ann Bender
