Best Places for a Burger and Milkshake in Missouri

These are the best places in Missouri to grab a classic burger and a refreshing milkshake.

When I walk into a classic "old-fashioned" diner, the atmosphere is what truly captivates me. It transports you back to a simpler time, an era of car hops and jukeboxes, checkered floors, and bright red booths. They feel like time capsules, and thankfully, some of these charming establishments are still in operation today.

Classic Missouri Diners You Can’t Miss

The Broadway Diner in Columbia always tops the list of the best diners in the state, and often the nation. This spot is a perennial favorite among MIZZOU students and is conveniently open 24 hours to help fuel those late-night study groups.

If you find yourself here, be sure to order their signature "Stretch" plate—a hearty dish featuring hash browns, eggs, bacon, and chili.

Retro Atmosphere and Nostalgia

Another short drive from the Tri-States to visit is the Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis. Its retro setting has a soda fountain, and enjoy some of the diner's favorites, including homemade chocolates & a classic American lunch & dinner menu.
