This Ultimate Burger Bucket List In Missouri Will Make Your Mouth Water

There's nothing quite like chomping down on a good old-fashioned hamburger, it's a quintessential American meal. Luckily for you, if you're on the hunt for the perfect Missouri burger place, we have put together a list of spots to find the best burgers in Missouri. These spots are sure to have your mouth watering.

1. Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In

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.

2. Dana'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.

3. Westport Flea Market

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?

4. Kirby's Sandwich Shop

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.

5. Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes

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.

6. Booches Billiard Hall

Opened as a pool hall and restaurant in 1884, Booches has become an integral part of Columbia's history. Their burgers served on wax paper run a bit small, so you may want to add an extra one to your order.

7. Stacked

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.

8. Beer Kitchen

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?
