Stamps Super Burgers is a popular, family-friendly, well-known burger restaurant located in Jackson, Mississippi, and this week, it has made national news: Along with 46 other restaurants, Stamps Super Burgers was included in the 2024 USA TODAY Restaurants of the Year list.
“This is a huge honor,” said Phil Stamps Jr., the second generation to own and run Stamps Super Burgers. “I’m filled with so much excitement from all the recognition Stamps has received. That location of the restaurant originally started with my grandmother and grandfather in 1970 when they purchased it from Canterbury Grocery, and the entire family operated that business as a grocery and meat market for a while before transitioning over to burgers in 1986.
“My aunts and uncles all had influence and worked at that location so when my grandfather stepped away from the original location, my father stepped in and continued to own and operate at that location where he put his touch on the business and started to make changes so that we would be more operational and more functional as a restaurant and not a grocery store.”
