- Gordon’s Stoplight Drive-In
Gordon’s Stoplight Drive-In/Facebook
Gordon’s Stoplight Drive-In/Facebook What separates this burger joint from most is how they cook their patties. To create the “smashed” style patties, the meat is smashed on the grill while it cooks to make the ends nice and crispy. Address: 500 Bailey Rd. Crystal City, MO 63019
- Dana’s BBQ & Burger Shop
Danna’s BBQ & Burger Shop
Danna’s BBQ & Burger Shop To get both the BBQ and the burger experience, go for the Danna Burger which serves BBQ slathered chopped pork on top of the patty.
Address: 963 St. Hwy 165 Branson, MO 65616
- Westport Flea Market
Westport Flea Market/Facebook

- Kirby’s Sandwich Shop
Kirby’s Sandwhich Shop/Facebook
Kirby’s Sandwich Shop/Facebook Simplicity can be a beautiful thing and the double patty melts at Kirby’s are a testament of that. They’ve been up and running in Sikeston since 1907, so we’d say their method has been working quite nicely.
Address: 109 N Kingshighway St. Sikeston, MO 63801
- Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes
Camelia E./Yelp
Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes/Facebook This burger joint has a wide array of options ranging from a quinoa burger to a beef and brisket burger with candied bacon. Wash it down with one of their boozy shakes to get the full experience.

- Booches Billiard Hall
Carol C./Yelp

- Eagle Drive-In
Eagle Drive-In/Facebook
Eagle Drive-In/Joplin Head over to Eagle Drive-In for the juiciest and most delicious burgers in all of Joplin, Missouri. The exterior may make it appear to be a simple burger joint, but Jason Miller’s bistro burgers are anything but simple.
Address: 4224 Hearnes Blvd. Joplin, MO 64804
- Stacked
Stacked STL/Facebook
Stacked STL/Facebook If you’re not sold on any of the menu burgers, Stacked gives you the option to build your own. The size of the patties are pretty huge, so be sure to come hungry.

- Bluff Burger & Brew
Bluff Burger & Brew/Facebook
Bluff Burger & Brew/Facebook Bluff Burger & Brew offers both traditional and non-traditional burger options. The classic hamburger is a safe bet, but if you’re looking to try something a little different, we definitely recommend the Sticky Asian Burger

- Beer Kitchen
Beer Kitchen/Facebook
Beer Kitchen/Facebook Don’t let the name fool you, this kitchen serves up more than just craft beers. To experience authentic Kansas City BBQ, try the Smokestack Burger. Smoked burnt ends, gouda, whisky bbq glaze and chipotle aioli all on top of your patty…need I say more?
