My past couple experiences with Black Sheep weren’t that great for the price I was paying, so what are some other burger joints I should try out?

WF Cody’s is a great burger
I second both of these.
Strongly concur with WF Cody’s
Lindbergs, Dugout, and even though it’s vegan, Jake’s Vegan Burger at Boskys Grill is surprisingly fucking incredible.
Everything at Boskys fucking slaps, but be ready to pay a higher price for it.
Boskys is awesome. I’m not vegetarian or vegan but still love that place.
Jake's stuff is incredible, I'm a carnivore but I'll devour that taco "meat"
Lindbergs, for sure
Finally went there after living here for a year. Extraordinary burg.
I sure miss J O B. Killer Burgers
Did JOB close permanently? I saw the owner passed a few weeks ago but didn't know if there was anyone to keep it going.
Unfortunately, JOB and Grand Prize are gone forever. RIP, Danny.

Yeah, looks like it's closed. I tried to go there for lunch a few weeks ago and the windows were papered with signs saying "Thanks Springfield."
Bummer. Was always a nice low key place to have a drink and the food was great.
I second Lindberg’s
No one said five guys yet. It's nothing fancy just a good burger. I'd rather have that than reds. I was so disappointed in Reds, but it may have been a combination of bad day and too much hype.
Five guys is a solid go too and Lindberg’s. Depends on what style you want.
100% agree!
>it may have been a combination of bad day and too much hype.
Very likely this.
Hype is poisonous like that.
We were very disappointed in Reds both times we went.
We were also severely disappointed with Beef A Roo.
I've had this experience with Red's and Taylor's both. They weren't bad, but I was disappointed because they'd been all hyped up, and at the end of the day they were just, okay.
Reds is only better than 5 guys because I have working there ptsd lol, otherwise you might just be right
Cafe B-29 in Ozark
My dad and I just discovered that place. My god, it's so delicious.
To me, they've best burgers are always homemade.
Outside that, Bairs has probably a couple dozen different ways they top their burgers foe some variety. If you just want to taste the meat, I'd go with w.f. Cody's on Sunshine.
For an old time dinner burger, ots a bit out of town but Kad-E-korner deli between fair grove and springdield on H (north glenstone) has a good burger and fresh cut curly fries that always hit the spot.
Farmer's Gastropub.
I have always found black sheep underwhelming for the hype it gets. WF Cody’s is best burger I’ve had in Springfield. I don’t really like the ketchup and sauces from Lindberghs but the actual burger isn’t bad.
I agree i am not a fan of there ketchup or ranch
Galloway Grill has always had a solid burger.
Galloway’s burgers are over cooked.
I typically just let them know how I like it cooked, and that's what I get. I haven't personally had that happen before
Lindberg’s has a burger that is hamburger meat and chorizo that is superior.
The Diablo, I know it well!
It’s amazing!
Find Almighty Sando Shop. They’re usually parked at a brewery. They make a solid smash burger.
Incredible vegan cheese burgers too
Hey here’s a cool fact, the family that owns the black sheeps, flame, char, and Zan is super transphobic
Where are you getting that information?
I worked for them and know the family and their children
Their children.
From me
Thanks for that warning!
I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. In general I have lived my life very happily avoiding jalili restaurants for various other reasons.
If you're looking for a new everyday burger, I've got nothing for you. If you're cool to pay $19+ for a burger (maybe once?) Progress' burger should satisfy. Or, The Order's $24 Wagyu Smash Burger is worth a go.
I second the Wagyu smash burgers at the Order!
Or if you just want to do it yourself, Mama Jeans sells the same Wagyu beef that the Order sources- JB Kobe Farms Wagyu. They even have it made into patties if you want at MJ’s.
Tried it once, the onions overpowered the meat and it was meh.
I second the progress burger. Not an every day thing, but excellent
W.F Cody’s
Okay, so it isn't in Springfield but Marshfield has this food truck that has the best burgers I have ever had. This is going to sound like a joke, but its called Tokyo Hibachi Express, and recently they split the business from a lone food truck to a food truck and a dine in location. You want the food truck. I know you wouldn't expect a Japanese food truck to have the best burger, but I also don't buy burgers anywhere else.
Agreed!! They have good everything
This dude is right. They hand grind a limited amount of wagyu beef every day. Great burgers. I haven’t had anything there I didn’t like.
Reds or Lindberg's
Yeah!
RepMO Burger in Republic! Check them out on social media to see their yummy GIANT burgers
Galloway Grill has really tasty burgers in my opinion.
Hard to go wrong with a Braums burger.
Schultz and Dooley in Chesterfield has great burgers.
Fast food wise, I think Culver’s has a great burger and Freddy’s for that upscale Steak ‘n Shake ;)
Freddy's is so legit. There are so few of them cross country and I miss it the most when I'm out on an assignment.
Bairs on Campbells
Brewco has a brew house burger that is pretty damn tasty.
The burgers at Sugarfire are pretty great if you're ever there and in the mood
Damn, nobody’s said Gettin’ Basted yet. It’s a BBQ joint, but they have some mighty fine wagyu burgers. A little off subject, they have the absolute best sides to go with burgers.
Reds Giant Hamburger for god food and good ambiance
Dugout
The twilight burger at the dugout is worthy, Casper’s has a good burger… should open again soon. Lindbergs is always good.
Fire&Ice has some tasty half pound burgers, and they have a house-ground filet burger that changes seasonally. Around $14 for a tasty burger with fresh-cut fries.
Weird answer but - the big biscuit on glenstone has a great burger & fries. Don’t knock it til ya try it. Also reds on a good day.
Flat Creek in Republic or Branson. Go durring Happy hour it's only $10
Joes Diner - Strafford
I was getting ready to say this! Hot and fresh and they are super friendly in there too. Not bad prices and good portions. Tiny place but worth a little drive.
Druff’s is doing smash burgers on the weekends and apparently they’re incredible
Not on weekends necessarily, just special a special pop up menu. They've only done it once, a couple weeks ago on a Thursday, but I've heard rumor there are more smash burger nights in the works. They're good at posting their specials on instagram, so keep an eye out there.
I went last time right as they sold out, so didn't get one, but they looked and smelled amazing.
LITPR
Billiards downtown, has a fantastic burger!
It just don't hit the same as they did pre-pandemic with the previous owners and the true build-your-own burger menu.
Lindberg’s is awesome.
This is a hot take but WF Cody's has not been nearly as good in the last few times I've been, Far from the Legends of my youth. Colton's has a pretty Good burger, flame happy hour, Lindbergh's, b 52.
O’Connells
Lindbergs or St Michael’s
[removed]
Lindbergh's on commercial st
Gotta be honest. IN MY OPINION… no one makes a better burger than Whataburger.
I used to always love them when I lived in Texas, and I figured it must be nostalgia or something. Nope, when the one in Republic opened, I sat in a long ass line to get one, and as soon as I took my first bite I remembered why I loved it so much. I’ve been nearly a dozen times since it opened in December.
Whataburger was super disappointing.
True story, first time I had a Whataburger I threw a football clean over a mountain. The next time it was kind of dry though.
BK HAS THE STACKER BACK!!
St Michael's downtown has some good burgers!
I miss Tubby's. They had the best burgers.
Reds or WF Cody’s
Yeah I really don't get the hype of blacksheep, it's nasty to me.
417 taphouse has surprisingly good burgers. I've heard bears is also good
In Marshfield, there is a good truck called Tokyo and they make the very best burgers. Worth the drive.
Getting basted they use a waygu grind beef and they are amazing
Joe's diner in Strafford
Bairs!!!!
I went for the first time a couple weeks ago and the bacon cheeseburger was SO good and huge
Lindberg's tavern is our new go to for burgers. They fry them in duck fat!
I thought Reds was good. But not a burger expert.
Lindbergh’s, farmers, and progress
I like getting a cheeseburger with mayo mustard and onions from Reds and adding chili to it.
Haven't seen Billiards on here, but I'll throw my hat in for them. Holds up even after covid induced ownership change.
It's no longer an option unfortunately, goddam covid, but I just wanted to hold a moment of silence for Falstaff's burger and homemade chips with jalapeno/dill dipping sauce. It was a sort of homemade, full fat, backyard grill type of patty and somehow it just tasted different than everyone else's, but right. Miss that place.
Bacon boss at big biscuit. Thank me later

I’ve not experienced a great one in town. If you like smash burger style, try Lindbergh’s. Otherwise, try WF Cody’s.
