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

Lindbergs, Dugout, and even though it’s vegan, Jake’s Vegan Burger at Boskys Grill is surprisingly fucking incredible.

Boskys is awesome. I’m not vegetarian or vegan but still love that place.

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.

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.

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.

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

Always_0421 t1_j7mwnia wrote

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.

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 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.

Find Almighty Sando Shop. They’re usually parked at a brewery. They make a solid smash burger.

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.

pizza1sgr8 t1_j7ni983 wrote

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.

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.

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.

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.

The twilight burger at the dugout is worthy, Casper’s has a good burger… should open again soon. Lindbergs is always good.

Bladestewurd49 t1_j7nxbmf wrote

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.

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

2

teamhj t1_j7uphfn wrote

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.

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.

Spiritual_Dentist_54 t1_j7nwqps wrote

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.

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.

Haven't seen Billiards on here, but I'll throw my hat in for them. Holds up even after covid induced ownership change.

robzilla71173 t1_j7v8rcl wrote

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.
