Whisler's Drive-Up — Restaurant in Carthage

This is a burger joint that you can’t pass up, if you do you will regret it. This place has been around for years and they try to keep with the tradition of how things used to be. Cheap simple burgers with amazing flavor is what they are known for. Upon first opening the door to the take it to go burger joint the powerful smell of these burgers hits you in the face and you start salivating if you weren’t already before. I personally was left thinking if the burgers taste as good as they smell they will be amazing; the burgers did not disappoint. The patty sizes are small (2 oz.) so keep that in mind when ordering. A simple hamburger comes with mustard, onion, and pickle. We ordered no onion on ours. We also ordered the pork and bull which was a burger with ham on it and the farm with cheese which was a burger with ham and bacon. This place appears to keep busy however they had no trouble at all getting us our food cooked fresh and quickly in around 5 minutes timeframe. Although it was a take it to go place, there were picnic benches and shade nearby to eat. We will definitely stop here again when driving...

This place has lived rent-free in my head since I was a young child. I don't live in Carthage, my family does, but I'd spend my youthful summers there, annually. My grandmother would send us kids, on our bikes, across town to get bags of burgers with the chips in the brown bags, and send us to the park on those lovely summer evenings to either get out of the house (give her some peace lol) or we'd be at the ballpark watching my uncles or cousins playing a game or two.

Whisler's holds so many fond memories for me, and I love the simple menu with the great food! My fave double cheeseburger is grilled goodness on a bun made to order fast. I love old-time grills, and these burgers hold nostalgia well. Every time I'm in or near Carthage, I make a special trip before I head back west to CO.

I'll end with two things: 1. They pack well in luggage and 2. They travel well via FedEx overnight.

Whisler's will always hold a special place in my heart and stomach. Thanks for the consistent and delightful...

Loved it! The staff is amazing and very friendly. When I showed up there were 2 Carthage police waiting for their orders. Anytime you see police eating at an establishment, usually its a good place to eat! I got 3 single patty cheeseburgers. These are 2oz. patties so if you order a burger, please take that into consideration. I got everything on mine, onions, ketchup, mustard and pickles. A must try if you are looking for a burger in the Carthage area!
