Best hamburger restaurant in Springfield, Missouri (MO) 2024

Lets make it 3 1/2 stars. I would have given 4 1/2 stars if not for the price. This is an upscale burger joint giving a very pleasant atmosphere, comfortable seating, good service, and tasty food for an absurd price. She had a chicken sandwich - it came on dry buns but mayo was delivered on request, sweet potato fries and a strawberry lemonade - all very tasty. I had the Smokehouse Brisket Burger - an exaggeration as the brisket was some dry crumbles on top of the burger, but was very flavorful with the bacon, jalapenos, fried onions and BBQ sauce on a nice bun. The garlic fries and strawberry "Freckled" lemonade were also very tasty. We were seated immediately and Cody took good care of us - almost to the point of annoyance. The drinks were served quickly, the food took almost 15 minutes more to arrive. It was worth the wait. The problem with all this is the price. At just over $52 with tip, for a two sandwich meal, the value just isn't there for most of us. The same quality can be had for around $35 out the door at other restaurants I've rated. ~David
