Pasta and salads are great and all, but there’s nothing like indulging in a mouthwatering burger for lunch or dinner. Here are some of our favorites in Missouri that you should definitely check out!

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. Westport Flea Market

Westport Flea Market/Facebook

Westport Flea Market/Facebook Rated by the Food Network as the best burger in Kansas City. To win a free meal, shirt and bragging rights, try out their burger challenge. 50 ounces of beef, 10 bacon strips and 6 buns. Think you can handle it?

  1. 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

  1. Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes

Camelia E./Yelp

  1. Booches Billiard Hall

Carol C./Yelp

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Bluff Burger & Brew

Bluff Burger & Brew/Facebook

  1. 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?
