Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes in Springfield, Missouri, offers gourmet burgers, indulgent milkshakes, and addictive fries with a rock-and-roll edge worth pulling over for.

Opened in 2015 by the team behind local favorites Flame Steakhouse and Char Steakhouse & Oyster Bar, Black Sheep was designed as a more casual concept, and it quickly became one of the most popular dining stops in Springfield. The atmosphere delivers on the rock-and-roll theme with brick walls, a wooden bar, moody lighting, and a game on TV. It’s a welcome step up from eating a drive-through burger and greasy fries behind the steering wheel.

The creative burger menu features twelve varieties, all made with a special blend of Wagyu beef and loaded with toppings you won’t find anywhere else on Route 66. The anything-but-basic Ugly Cheeseburger comes topped with sharp white American cheese, butter lettuce, house-made pickle, onion, and baaahd sauce. The Don’t Go Bacon My Heart piles on applewood smoked bacon, black diamond sharp cheddar, butter lettuce, tomato, house-made pickle, onion, and smoky garlic mayo. And for something a little more ambitious, the What the Dr. Ordered is topped with slow-cooked Dr. Pepper short ribs, truffle mayo, chipotle BBQ, and a sunny-side-up egg.

The fry menu is worth just as much attention and the overflowing portions are perfect for sharing with the table. Options include Sea Salt N’ Pepper, truffle and parmesan, apple and hickory smoked, and the Hey Sweetie (sweet potato fries topped with peanut butter and marshmallow cream). Don’t forget to order the dipping sauce sampler to work through the full lineup and choose your favorite: ketchup, chipotle ketchup, truffle mayo, sriracha mayo, smoky garlic mayo, and chipotle barbecue.

You can wash your meal down with one of the 16 draft beers on the menu or something from the full bar.  But the real draw is the milkshake menu, made with local Andy’s Frozen Custard and available in both boozy and non-alcoholic versions. Try a popular option like The Elvis, which blends banana, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and frozen vanilla custard, with optional rum or The Purple Haze, made with house-made blackberry pie filling and frozen custard, with optional blackberry whiskey.
