This has got to be one of the most underrated burger joints in Baton Rouge. It's in the hood and the curb appeal ain't all that but I'll be hard pressed to find a better burger within 20 miles and I've tried them all. They also serve crushed ice with their fountain drinks which put my lemonade over the top I have been there before but went again today and was reminded that this is a BR staple.

I went there once on the advice of this board and was underwhelmed, to be honest. Seemed like a frozen patty (similar to the one below) and the tomatoes were half-ripe. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. I’ll have to give them another try.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. White BR people love to brag about places nobody else knows about (EDIT- love to brag about eating in what they perceive to be “the hood”) even if the food is shite.

Fire away.

Like I said, I have tried all the burgers mentioned on this board. The burger at Dixie Maid is legit. Try it if you want, I'm just stating my opinion.

There’s no way that dollar store crumbly bun and wilted toppings and dry arse patty trumps Fleming’s HH burger. Not a chance.

And I love shitty burgers and am sure id like this one fine.

I got the montezuma's revenge about 20 minutes later. I don't live in BR, so I suffered in a public restroom.

I was wondering why I've never seen this joint, near N.Foster and Evangeline.

That's pretty much how mine looked, except the tomato wasn’t quite that ripe.

Why don’t you take your happy lilly white arse out there and try it before making judgement on a fricking picture.

I’ve been eating it for 40 years. It’s a good burger that when I’m in the area I stop in and eat.

You think that is limited to BR? It's the world. Expand your horizons. Everyone loves to brag

I've been a harsh critic before but never of a place I've never been to. That's just plain dumb.

Are the burgers a nice size like uncle moes burgers on plank road? Because in the pictures they look kind of small I want to try it out so bad but I'd rather get my money's worth.


quote:

You will not find a better burger in Baton Rouge! God bless you if you try to eat a double...These are true Old School burgers that will keep you coming back for more.

quote:

The large is plenty big enough. If that's not then you can get a double. And the small fry is not very small

quote:

They are real good homemade tast.the double is the truth.I love them .Go give them try

quote:

They have 2 size burgers. Large size and a fry will leave you full for sure.

quote:

They have the small and the large size. Comes with a lot of fries and I get the lemonade drink. The small is the best size for me but if you can eat get the big or double. Still the best burgers in town to me.

I enjoyed reading that thread. Seems I’m, if anything, consistent.

Ah yes. Our old battles. Now I just ignore you, but your posts still annoy me.
