Good spot. Doing something right to be opened since 1907. Food was good and so was the service.

Love Kirby's. We go whenever we're in Sikeston. I'd rather go to Kirby's than Lambert's. The burgers and fries are so much better than anywhere else. The service is great. read more

make sure your order is less than 40 or they will charge you 15% more for the fun of it. won't be going back here.

Great burgers and fries Great convenient location plus quick friendly service open Tuesday through Saturday

I had the Kirbyburger and it was very tasty. I saw a video on YouTube for the place so decided to try it and really recommend the place. Good prices and great food. read more

The burgers are awesome. The service was great. And this is a neat old dinner. Will go back

I showcase locally owned food establishments on Facebook (Harold Davis), and Kirby's is the Godfather of burgers for the simple fact is has lasted well over 100 years. Great place. read more

This is a long standing hamburger joint. I have been coming her off and on since 1965. Opps told my age lol. The burgers are good and so are the fries and it is definitely a blast from the past. read more

Came in for lunch. Ordered 4 drinks, 3 burgers and a grilled cheese. All had sides. Fries are crinkle cut, jalapeño poppers are stuffed with American cheese. $40 later. No frill burgers. No lettuce, tomato. Only pickles on the side. Burgers are maybe 4oz before cooked. Reviews said 27 different sandwiches???? Three single diners came in after us. Two eat ins and a take out. We ordered before them, yet all were served before our lunch came out. Clearly they take care of the locals first. I get it, but hard to watch, when you're waiting with kids. Waitress was having personal issues with her son and partner, and we got to witness it. Another local, walked in, grabbed a soda and bag of food behind the bar and walked out. Odd! Don't go off the beaten path for this local joint. read more

It's our last old fashioned sandwich shop. The food is amazing. I don't know what I would do if they closed down. Their food is so much better than fast food. Our last piece of Sikeston's food history read more

Best Burger in the state! Love the food, service and going in for lunch! If I could I would eat there everyday. Burger's are made like my Grandma & Mama make them. It's the closest thing to taking a trip home when I can't leave town. read more

My family stopped here on the way to Tennessee, seemed like it would be cheap and a fun place to eat. We were very wrong. The wait staff was rude and messed up our order multiple times. We went without drinks for 3/4 of our visit and 3 of our burgers didn't even have a burger patty. The burgers we did receive were burnt and tasted terrible. We understand they were busy but it was unacceptable. read more

We came here on a recommendation from a friend. I had never heard of it before. When you walk in it's like stepping back in time a good 30 years. Kirby's looks like an old school diner. The staff, two young girls that really didn't fit the vibe, were somewhat unfriendly. One of them came to the table and asked what we'd have. My wife said, "this is our first time here." She then said oh okay. Well we have burgers, hotdogs and the Kirby burger which is a double. They did have coke and Pepsi products, so that was cool! Our food came out really quickly! The onion rings were over done and hard to eat. But the Kirby burger was really good! It tasted like a burger you'd get at the fair. The price was pretty close to the fair also. All in all, the food was really good but I don't know when I'll be back again. I just wasn't wowed by anything here. read more

This place is authentic when it comes to a burger! They taste like they stepped out of the 1950s. I will be back. I had the Kirby cheeseburger and onion rings. The rings were extra Crispy. The burger was epic. I would only throw out this warning. If you do not like onions then please ask them to back off on the onions. This is the oldest running restaurant in Missouri. read more

Very disappointed that they have decided to longer provide Tabasco hot sauce! It was traditional, for 50 something years I ate here and always used Tabasco! I'm giving them a 2 for that reason read more

Friendly local burger place. Can't say it was very special, but probably better than Burger King.

Best burgers in town! We drive all the way from Texas to eat at Kirby's (and to see family I guess) we can't make a trip without stopping here. My husband ordered the first quadruple patty burger today and it did not disappoint! read more

Food is always good! My favorite is the chili dog, they split the hot dog and fry it, so so so good!

I stopped in because I was doing business in the area and saw their famous hamburger slogan. I asked for their "famous" burger and soon recived a kirby burgar. It is a double cheeseburger with onions. It's was good. Maybe not absolutely best burger I had ever had but still very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will stop again and try some of there other menue options. read more

I stopped into Kirby's randomly because I needed to grab a quick lunch. It was delicious but beyond that the service made my day. I was having a bad day and I had forgotten about it all by the time I had left. Whoever served me, I am sorry I didn't get your name, deserves a raise. She was great at up-selling, I came in for a burger, and I left with double cheeseburger, fries, soda, and a t-shirt. She was seriously awesome and very pleasant. Thank you Kirby's! read more

Terribly overpriced and just as greasy. I've eaten here three times my entire life and each time is worse than the last. Love this joint.

Kirby's is a Sikeston institution. It's been around forever and it's time for them to change up a few things. The Kirby burger is two patties with onions and isn't too bad. However, they put the pickles underneath the sandwich in the basket. This leads to a soggy bottom bun that immediately falls apart. Yuck! The fries and onion rings are standard food service frozen items. Get the fried okra instead, it easily stands above the rest and is some of the best I've had. read more

Good atmosphere, pleasant service and decent food! The burger was smaller but tasty! Not bad pricing but everything us sold separately which can add up sometimes! But I feel we need more old school diner type places like that these days! read more

A real old time style, retro cafe. Staff was friendly, conversations lively, and manager was personable. It is off the beaten path and near downtown. We would go there again. Chili fries and a Kirby burger? What a package. You won't go away hungry. The fare is pretty much Mid- American and the atmosphere is truly Heartland style. read more

Solid flattop cooking. Burger was great. Should have gotten it Kirby style - newbie mistake.

I use to go here very often when I lived in Sikeston. Usually on Saturday's. They always had good burgers and I loved the atmosphere . There was a old man who was always there with a battered old shopping cart shining shoes in front of the cafe. Everyone knew him and called him ''The Joker'' or cool Papa'' He was a old blues man as well and often had a beat up guitar strapped to the top of his shopping cart. Sometimes I would watch him play and after awhile he would show me a thing or two on the guitar. I loved listening to his stories of all the places he had played back in his early days and he usually would con me into buying him lunch. I didn't mind I admired being around a old blues man like him and he helped me learn to play some decent blues guitar. Sharon Kirby owned the cafe and had taken it over after her dad Red Kirby past away. She was always kind to me and was always happy to see me and Joker sitting at the counter eating her delicious hamburgers. I learned a lot about life sitting in her cafe eating hamburgers and listening to Joker's stories. Some years ago Joker left and moved to California. By that time I was busy playing music and very rarely came in to the cafe. I moved out of Sikeston to a bigger city to pursue a career in music. Some years later I returned for a visit and was sad to learn Sharon had died from injuries from a motorcycle accident. Or so I heard. But none the less I went in to the cafe and it still looked the same and the burger I had was great. I looked over at the counter where Joker and I would sit and it brought back a lot of memories. So maybe this really isn't a Yelp review about a business. But it is a story of a place that holds special memories for me. And I am glad it still is going strong. That you Kirby's for the memories. Sharon rest in peace. And Joker where ever you are know you taught a young kid to play some wicked blues guitar. I am in your debt. God Bless and all the best to everyone at Kirby's GUITAR DAVE MORGAN. read more
