Burger Burger Review
So the story goes, the original “Burger Burger” was developed in nearby New Orleans and made its way east to Biloxi sometime after 1947.
The sandwich was sold in a local restaurant for years until one day, the perfect home of its own became available and the Burger Burger restaurant opened up, selling their proprietary sandwich, along with daily specials – their version of traditional southern dishes. Also on the menu, traditional gumbo, salads, seafood baskets and breakfast.
Here I’ve buried the lead, haven’t I? The “Burger Burger” is like a hamburger poboy – on toasted French bread with mustard, diced onion, and special sauce, which they also call “gravy.” Somebody described it like “Swiss steak” on a bun, and maybe that’s apt, it’s sure different than a hamburger poboy in New Orleans which can be incredibly plain and dull.
They have other “specialty” burgers as well, in a form you might be more used to seeing.
Being as this is primarily a hamburger website, and I write about burgers a lot, naturally I took one look at the menu and went right for the……….catfish.
That’s right. I couldn’t seem to get enough fried catfish this trip, so it pretty much showed up in front of me once a day.
And was I ever glad. Burger Burger makes perfect fried catfish, accompanied by fries, slaw, lemon and tartar if you wish. It was a lighter, slightly seasoned batter, perfectly crispy, the fish resting inside done to perfection, moist, not a hint of grease.
Dandy.
Service is frenetic and friendly at the same time. Like they took classes in “Southern hospitality.” Quite sure they mentioned everything was made in-house.
The restaurant is located in an old residence and the walls are chock-a-block with vintage photos and nostalgic memorabilia.
I’d like to go back.
Website has the specials but not full menu. Menu is on Zomato.
