Great little find on Route 66. Our group of 6 corvette taking Route 66 tour stopped here for a burger and they were fast, fresh and tasty!!! read more

This is a great old burger joint. The menu is simple; they serve burgers, chips and soda. You can choose from a variety of burgers with cheese, bacon, or ham, double patty or even triple patty!The prices are great and the service is quick and very nice. You can call ahead or order inside. There is no seating inside but there is a picnic table out front. The place accepts cash and has the square for cards. Give this place a try, it is great. read more

As soon as I got inside the Customer Service was phenomenal. They were super nice and we were unsure of what some stuff was and they really explained it well. We didn't have an order ready and in no time they whipped our order up in 6 minutes. Prices are very reasonable and there food is filling. One thing you need to make sure you do is make sure you know the hours. They do close quick so hurry in before you miss out on this fantastic place. read more

Very cool little place. Hamburgers are small but amazing. It is very affordable. Cheaper and a whole lot better than MCD's. I would recommend the sow and cow double. Will definitely be stopping here again. read more

We have been fans of Whisler's Drive Up since they opened in 1953 (I was four years old). What a treat to get the bag of burgers, a drink and chips (back then the owner even tossed in a small handful of candy)! Now my favorite is the pig n bull. Ah, but we moved to the Branson, MO area 1.5 years ago. My hope is that they will open a sister shop in Branson. For now we have to wait until our next trip back. Please do not allow anyone to steal your thunder by co-opting the Whisler's name. read more

Nothing fancy, but a simple, great , old fashioned hamburger. And not old fashioned like Wendy's claims, this is the real deal. Some of the names are a bit cooky, like the Pig & Bull (burger with ham), but my personal favorite is the Sow & Cow with Cheese (bacon cheeseburger). Whistler's is legendary around here and for good reason. read more

Updated old style burger joint. Just like I would cook it on the BBQ. Tasty and delicious. Had to wait about 20 minutes for the burger only downside. My tip: call ahead. read more

It's ok. Burgers are fresh but pretty tasteless. It's definitely a place that "Grandpa too Dad when he was young". You gotta go for the nostalgia of it all. read more

Fantastic burgers. I knew about this place since I was a kid, but having moved to CA years ago, I wanted to try it again. My wife and I had been to Carthage on several occasions but hadn't quite made the stop to Whisler's. We finally did last month. The burgers were as good as ever - just like when I was a kid even though the establishment has changed hands. My wife said that these tasted like the burgers at Southern CA chain In-N-Out's. Keep it up Whisler's! read more

We were heading home from Missouri to Oklahoma and happened upon this place. Best burger I've had in a very long time. Someone call Guy Fieri!!!! #Dinersdinein&dives read more

Small town burger joint. Best burger I've had in a long time. Get two, they are pretty small. They've been around for 60 years. Hidden gem.

The best little burger shack in the world. It's simple, homemade, and delicious. Double pig and bull with everything that's all you need to know. Trust me it's an experience you won't forget. read more

Burgers, and that's it. That said, they are great classic burgers, like they should be. If you happen to be passing through Carthage and are hungry, pass the chains up and hit up this local drive in for one of the best burgers you can have. Go for the double with cheese with everything on it! read more

A classic, genuine hamburger stand - since 1953! If you're driving I-44 through Joplin, Missouri area, avoid the franchise traps and find this place. It's a few blocks north from the town square of Carthage, Missouri, which looks like the movie set for "Back to the Future." If you're an honest hamburger lover, the mere sight of it will bring a smile to your face: humble little white drive-up with hand painted sign, picnic tables, friendly cashier and cook, delightfully simple menu. In addition to a single, double and triple cheeseburger, they offer the "Cow'n'Sow" (hamburger topped with bacon), the "Pig'n'Bull" (hamburger topped with slices of ham) and the "Farm" (hamburger with ham AND bacon). They are all tasty. I don't really care for the gimmick of giant burgers that are hard to pick up and get your jaws around. Whisler's burgers are right-sized, very affordable, and deilcious. If you just need a little snack to fill the cracks, then a single hamburger is perfect. If you're starving, then order a sack. I had missed breakfast on my visit, so I ate four. Not sure why, but somehow it's more fun and rewarding to eat two or three (or four) burgers instead of one giant burger. read more

The food is great, fresh and cheap. We will for sure be back. The burgers are cooked right there and so yummy. We have even used this place for catering lunches. read more

This is a classic simple burger joint. The "everything" is pickles, onions & mustard. You can get ketchup if you ask. They are small burgers but packed full of flavor. My husband picked the double cheeseburger meal that included chips and a drink. I ordered the sow and cow (bacon and hamburger) with cheese and catsup and was definitely not disappointed. Next time we will order the 5 for $7 special. read more

Stopped here as we were heading out of town. Heard it was good. We got there at perfect time. They cooked too many burgers so gave us the extras! Ladies were great. Burgers are like large sliders. Meat is very tasty. You get pickle, onion, & mustard! Very small walkin spot. Give it a try read more

Love Whisler's. Have been going here most of my life. Great old fashioned hamburgers and cheeseburgers! Great service! Staff is always friendly. They still give little bags of candy to the kids. Good idea to call in , if you are in a hurry, because they cook them when you order. read more

By far the best cheeseburger I have ever tried. And I'm really not a burger person. Coworker grabbed me one on his way back to work. Can not wait for the next time I make a visit and take the family! read more

Hands down the best burgers in Carthage! A simple menu with just the right stuff for the perfect burger shack. Love the bag of burgers with extra onions and pickles. Perfect grab and go to make the whole family happy! read more

Great classic style slider burgers! Cheap and more than worth a try, this households preferred go to for an on the fly bag of delicious burgers and great service. read more

Classic stop near Route 66. A little slice of Americana. Stopped here while traveling through from New England and absolutely loved this place. Portions are small so order a few! read more

Great burgers, better than the fast food chains! Good prices and good service. If your going at lunch time you might plan on calling in your order, because they are going to be busy. read more

I don't understand why anyone would go for a fast food burger when Whisler's is open. Fresh made burgers, great staff, fun location. It doesn't get better. read more

My dad grew up in Carthage and him and my uncle would go here more times than they can count. We come here every year for Thanksgiving and we get Whistlers on the way out of town every time. They have the best burgers I have ever had in my entire life. If only I could get them more than once a year. read more

I hadn't been to this place since the late 70's. Even though it has changed owners several times since then, they still make and sell the great little hamburgers that I remembered. It's been about 40 years, and the food and service is still GREAT. In a constantly changing world, it is so neat to be able to step back through the years to where people are friendly and the food is good. read more

I am so glad this place is still in business. It is a local neighborhood burger joint that has very good greasy burgers. If that is what you are in the mood for, this is the place to go. Take cash. read more

We live in Kansas City and every time we come through Carathage we stop at Whisler`s. Hamburgers delicious!!!! My grandkids love this place,
