Three Mississippi restaurants made the Southern Living magazine list of the “South’s Most Beloved Burger Joints.”
Phillips Drive-In in Laurel, Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain in Corinth, and Latham’s Hamburger Inn in New Albany all made the list that includes 20 southern spots serving “tasty burgers.”
No Jackson burger spot made the list. But these three may be worth a drive.
The restaurants on this list were picked by the editors of Southern Living who report on, research and visit restaurants in the South. Each spot has been around for generations.
The intro to the list states: “These are the places that have been around since our parents and grandparents were kids. Maybe it’s a 1950s-style drive-in or a classic diner where the booths are cherry red and the floors don a familiar black-and-white checker. They’re the places where we’ve made memories near and dear to our hearts. The menus are often short and sweet, but one thing you can always count on at a legendary burger joint is a consistently great meal.”
