Wow! This place definitely exceeded my expectations. With very little selections on a Sunday in Springfield, almost every seat was filled and our service was still fast and efficient. Starting off with a strawberry milkshake, it was one of the most tastiest milkshakes I've ever had. Like the organic pulp in orange juice, the strawberry remnants were prevalent and gave its authentic and satisfying taste. The truffle fries were crisp and its multitude of varying sauces gave the variety of each bite a different taste. The portion size was also large and well enough to share. Opting for a chicken sandwich, it was a great blend of grilled and yet crispy. When coming back in town again, this is a place I would more than happy not to just recommend but to eagerly revisit. read more

Great hamburgers, hard to choose what to get! The smoked fries are amazing and I loved the dipping sauces also, my favorite was the truffle mayonnaise! Wait staff was very helpful and friendly, will definitely come back next time I'm in town.. read more

It was worth the wait. I don't typically finish off my meal but I did here. There wasn't much left on our table at all. I had the vegetarian burger and would eat it again and again. Service was super friendly. I don't live in town but will certainly be back! read more

My first and hopefully last time to eat at Black Sheep last night. They were at least accommodating to our party of ten. The down side--the waiter was not very knowledgeable about their products, he told my husband he was "taking care" of his burger since it was his birthday but charged for it anyway, and they charged everyone 75 cents extra for the ice in their drinks! I might have expected that in New York City but not Springfield MO. What a rip off. read more

great food. service is not as fast as one would like but overall great place. would recommend to anyone looking for a casual dining experience read more

Downtown Springfield location. Chill atmosphere, friendly, fast. Burger was really good, tho there's a danger here of getting too fancy/exotic and getting away from what we know as a cheeseburger. The loaded fries with pulled pork were great, tho make sure you're sharing as it's too rich and big for a solo mission. read more

Great burgers and fries! I had the hickory and chef's favorite. The staff are also friendly. Sawtelle is busy but there's valet parking right next door! read more

Go there and get fat. It's worth it. High end drive thru and high quality flavor. Shortbread cake and throw truffle Mayo on anything.

Has to be one of the best burger places in town! Pros: great burgers(love the ugly), great shakes (Elvis is my personal fav), amazing fries especially the applewood smoked fries. Cons: service and the wait can be a bummer sometimes because the place is so popular. Arrive early and be prepared to stay later than expected due to the large portions. Great urban downtown feel with an old school flair. 2 locations, one in downtown Springfield and the second in Chesterfield Village off of the Kansas Expressway. A must go if you're visiting the area. read more

Stopped by after recommendation from MSU tour guide and loved it. Us three tried three different burgers and the smoked fries. Everything was spot on delicious. Great service from our waitress and good food. Can't beat that!! read more

Came here on recommendation of a Facebook friend. Weekday lunchtime parking was a little tricky but we ended up with a spot about half and block away. Service is super friendly. Atmosphere is fun and laid back. I had the Cowboy Carl and hubs had the Jamaica Me Crazy. We split sweet potato fries with spicy siracha mayo. Burgers were very good. His was just the right amount of heat with the ghost pepperjack. Cowboy Carl is a HUGE burger. I had to use a knife and fork. Brisket was a little on the dry side and all the sauce is under the bun. Fried onion and candied bacon were yummy. We would definitely come again. read more

Legit made an account just to review this place. Truffle fries are amazing along with the chicken sandwich, snake burger, and especially what the doctor ordered. read more

I don't have words for how much I love this place. Hands down the best fries I've ever eaten. The burgers are fantastic and you just can't beat the boozy shakes. A must-visit! read more

The food has consistently high quality. It's best to try to go at an off peak time for better service.

This place has become one of my favorite spots! The menu isn't very extensive, so it isn't overwhelming. The Boss and Elvis shakes were delicious, and there were plenty of fries to share between two or three people that also got burgers. The burgers were cooked perfectly and had awesome flavor. My only complaint was now nasty the bathrooms were! The women's restroom floor was soaking wet, and the toilets and sinks were very dirty. My husband also said the cleanliness of the men's restroom was also little to be desired. read more

Black Sheep is a staple Resturaunt in Springfield. As a college student this is where I would take my parents most times.

Horrible wait time to get to table. At least 20 minutes before our drink order was taken. Another 20 minutes for our food order. At least 40 minutes for food delivery. Unless we flagged someone else, we were not offered any refills. Food delivery took forever especially for silverware. Another 15-20 minutes after asking for the check. Very loud place. Food tasted amazing. Server was very friendly. Overall if you are not in a hurry and have a lot of patience give it a try. Otherwise skip it. read more

Great food! We got the habanero cheese curds, salt & pepper fries, and the bleu cheese burger. Everything was delicious. Their homemade pickles were sooo good. We did not get a milk shake, but they looked awesome. read more

Best burger I've ever had! Server was great and we could bring our dog on the patio. That's a huge plus for us!

I'm usually very queasy with burgers but I had the "What the Dr. Ordered" and I was able to finish before my husband. Best burger I've ever had. read more

Customer service was awesome food was fantastic and we had a great time! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Make sure you are hungry when you come here. The burgers are huge. Fries are ala cartel and can be shared with 3 or 4 others. I had the western burger with fried onions and BBQ pork on the burger. The burger was literally 7 or 8 inches tall when it came out. I had to knock most of the onions to the side just to eat the burger. The burger was delicious. My friends and I also shared a basket of their "smoked fries". It was an interesting smoky flavor on the fries that I really enjoyed, especially when paired with the chipotle ketchup. read more

This place has the best burgers and BBQ smoked fries that I have ever had. I absolutely cannot say enough good about the environment. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They have a wheel of sauces to try and he burgers are huge! read more

Seriously the best burger I've ever eaten. My picky boyfriend even said this is probably the only place he would drive an hour for to get a burger. Amazing fries, fantastic staff, dirt 'n' worms cups for the kids. Can't say enough, I wish it was a chain and was closer. YUMMM read more

We were traveling thru Springfield and ate dinner here based on other recommendations on Yelp. We loved it! My husband had the What the Dr Ordered which was a burger with short ribs and an egg. I had the grilled chicken sandwich (I can't remember the name) and we ordered the sea salt and pepper fries. It was all delicious! Our super friendly waitress, Sarah, even offered to bring us a plate with small amounts of all the different dips they had to go with the fries when we couldn't decide. They were all good but my personal favorite was the smoky garlic mayonnaise. Definitely very glad we ate here!! read more

Amazing burgers and fries! What else needs to be said? Great service too! If you got the time, I had ugly recommend trying this place out.

Best veggie burger and fries in town! Great customer service and food. 10/10. The give you a huge helping of avocado for the veggie burger. My grandma loves this place and so do my wife and I. read more

Burgers to die for, I'll never look at a burger the way. Shakes are made to order with or adult beverage shakes. Great place to go but expect to wait a few minutes... read more

Black Sheep - Great place to eat, Oh my the burgers are to die for and the shakes oh wow. - Burgers Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Black sheep is amazing. A touch pricey and can get very packed in their small downtown location, however the food is well worth the hassle. I get the foodie burger and onion straws. They also have great boozie shakes. Great for a quick downtown burger and drink! read more

Burgers are SOOO GOOD!!! My heart can probably only take on of these a month but wow so good. And the fries are to die for! Love love love.

Great burgers and great take on burgers. Ambience is nice but at times feels crowded due to locations of the smaller tables. The smaller round tables are a little awkward and the edges are rough. Busy is good! I have not tried the shakes but hear they are excellent. The shakes are made with Andys frozen custard! I hope they will expand their sides menu or change up from the onion shavings. Overall, I recommend the place and try their Cuban! read more

We were excited to try because it showed up in an article about restaurants along Route 66. Service from Sarah was great - she made sure my husbands food had no allergens. The fries were great and the sauce sampler that accompanies is brilliant. Unfortunately when we got to the burgers they were just 'meh.' Jamaica Me Crazy burger and Your Bacon My Heart didn't get finished. I had the veggie burger and it was mush - like a pate. Give me a Garden Burger or a Boca burger out of the freezer any day over the veggie burger. Maybe go for the ambiance and the shakes. read more

Don't go here unless you're hungry. I MEAN IT! The burgers are huge and will have you rolling on the ground stuffed! Do try the alcoholic shakes! I've had the cookie dough one which was loaded with cookie dough and the one with bacon was my favorite so far! Definitely a good idea to split a burger and fries with a friend though! read more

Super cool "hipster" atmosphere. Definitely full on a Friday/ Saturday night. They have a lounge upstairs, with a bar and live music, where you can wait for your table. We ordered the Cowboy Carl ($11.50) and the Foodie ($9.75). Foodie was to DIE for. The truffle mayo with the caramelized onions and Boursin cheese was amazing. Cowboy Carl was OK. Onion strings were pretty salty, not spicy. Also ordered the apple n hickory smoked fries ($4) with truffle mayo and ranch- thicker fries with a nice crunch and subtle smokey flavor. You are paying for a gourmet burger, good service and cool atmosphere where you come here! read more

Unbelievable burger and fries. Great service too. We were with kids and next time we are in Springfield we will be back!

Please ignore all positive reviews. READ THE REVIEWS THAT YELP IS NOT RECOMMENDING, THEY ARE ALL 1 OR 2 STAR RATINGS. OR just make a burger for yourself and save the long wait, or go to better spots like Big Whiskey', Blue Bull, St. Mike's, Riad or any of the 20 other places Downtown that sell the same thing, and better choices. The long line is NOT from demand, its from a poorly trained cook staff that has no idea what its doing. We watched 12 burgers sit under a heat lamp for 30 min until the fries were done right.........Who thought that was ok?! They put all the effort into things that dont matter, and hired anyone that needed a job for the kitchen. Tag Line: Not worth the wait, not worth the hype, not worth the cost, just not worth it. Short and to the point: Nice staff, but poorly trained. Too Expensive for the food they serve. Too many trendy things going on that take away from any uniqueness that could take place. Ive been here three times and each time my burger took waaaaaay too long to cook. Once there was two other people there and my lunch took an hour to get to me. WHAT? I want to give this place another shot but so much is keeping me from that. This place cannot decide what it wants to be Sport Bar, High end Burger trendy joint, Bar, Family Spot. TOO MUCH GOING ON! TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET! And there is nothing on the menu that you cant walk 20 feet and get somewhere else. It seriously seemed like they made a list of what every burger spot ever has done always and just did all the things. This place is like a Fudruckers ate a Hardee's then had sex with McDonald's and then sent inappropriate text messages to Dave and Brusters; then got real drunk and made a fake Facebook page impersonating Harbell's. Which are all better choices than Black Sheep. Except McD's. No one should eat that ever. Some positives: the shakes are good, but WAAAAAAY OVERPRICED! (guess that a positive and a negative) Another positive is its popular so that helps the downtown community, and the burger was good, but it wasnt epic like some of these other posts ive read, I dont know if these people have just never eaten a burger and the sensation of beef grilled blew their minds or what, but the burger was good, not great. Not putting anyone down with that, but I dont get the excitement in the other posts. My opinion. So to start our decent into the negative Ill say the burger was good...........but it was a burger, something that I can make at home and taste the same or better. When I go out I like to have an experience and taste something I havent before or take a taste of how someone else has done something I never thought to. This place does not do that. I have had there burgers at so so so many other places, Nothing unique about it. Food choices were limited, but with trendy names so you feel like you are ordering something new. Look, i get someone tried to do something different and thats commendable, I understand that is someones effort and business that they are taking a risk on; I just dont see the need for yet another burger spot DWTN, and for the overkill on environment, and trendy themes with food when its just beef and toppings. I havnt tried all the sides and thought what I had was not good as fries go. Just lots of salt and spice on over or under fried potatoes. Old Man Complaints: 1 Loud! like LOUD environment, do not bring a date here, you will not hear an dang thing they say. A good spot to bring your wife if shes mad at you and wants to talk, just nod and eat your burger and order alcohol shake after 9$ alcohol shake until you dont care anymore. 2 Fries and onion rings were burnt to hell and back, I dont care what they are called or infused with or whatever the hell you think is cool right now, if you staff doesn't know they need to change the oil or to take them out on time I shouldn't pay 11$ for an appetizer that Ill just need to send back! 3 Like a zillion TV's: why the hell would I go to a restaurant to watch TV? If some huge sporting event was on, Cool I get that, but if its Friday night and people want to go out and just eat, its way overstimulating. 4 The food names OH the effin food names: You can call it Cowboy Carls Magical Ride or whatever the heck you want, if its bbq sauce on a beef patty thats all it is. Like the names somehow magically make up for the laundry list of strikes this place has against it. Look this place has potential but it needs to drop like half of what its going for and focus on better cooks, better ingredients and read a book on how to run a kitchen because they do not have a clue. Hopefully this improves in time. And thats what im giving this place TIME. They need at least 3 more months to get in line. Ill try it again just to see if its the fact that they are new or if its just off. read more

Over priced for just a burger ordered a butter burger I think it had 3 pounds of butter on it couldn't eat it and they did nothing about it

After all the hype, my wife and I braved the Friday night crowds and waited an hour and a half for a table. Atmosphere is pretty cool, well laid out with a nice bar upstairs. We sampled a couple craft beers and were overall pretty disappointed in the beer selection, although I must say we like fairly hoppy IPAs or double IPAs and Springfield isn't the most IPA friendly town anyway. They seemed to carry the same old Springfield local brews just like everyone else and nothing really creative outside of the local brews. After getting our table, my wife and I ordered two different burgers, my wife ordered The Foodie and I ordered the Bleus Brothers. Nice size burgers. Good presentation. The meat was very good, fresh and great quality, but I have to say the buns were store-bought, almost Wendy's like buns which really didn't pair well with the burger. On top of that, after a few bites both my wife and I had to get a side order of sriracha just because the burgers were so bland...the sauces/ingredient pairings did nothing for us. Overall, very disappointing burgers. Instead of pricing these burgers at $9.95, I think these burgers should be more like $12.95-$15.95; spend a bit more money on actually having a bun that pairs well with their 100% steak burgers and then have a chef better prepare some sauces/ingredients that make these burgers unique. read more

Oh, black sheep... I finally get to review you... I have tried to eat at this restaurant three other times. Yes, three. One time, I even got so far as to put my name on the list and stand with my butt cheeks touching somebody else's dinner table. I felt really uncomfortable with that so I left. This time, an early dinner was on the menu. We got seated right away at a table in the middle of the restaurant..next time you visit, be sure to avoid this table if at all possible. I get the artisan handcrafted authentic woodwork local source whatever... But our table had a three foot long crack in it that makes me feel like I'm going to lose my french fries. I immediately started with an Elvis milkshake.... With booze of course. Holy moly, this is something I'm going to crave forever. This milkshake was delicious. I could have sat and drank four of them, if they hadn't been almost $10 a piece for regular size pint glass full of boozy goodness. I ordered the Blues Brothers burger, which sounded good in theory. I'm a huge fan of blue cheese, so that's probably why I was a touch disappointed. The blue cheese completely disappears on this burger, only to be overwhelmed with a giant bun. I ended up taking the bun off and just eating the burger. Honestly. Their sweet candied bacon or whatever it is absolutely made this burger. They need to serve just a cup of it as an appetizer. Maybe they can make it pretty like a bouquet or centerpiece or something, but it needs to happen. The tables are very close together, which is a huge downfall to me. The servers were bumping into my chair and my purse all evening... A coat rack and purse hooks would do wonders in that place! read more
