I’m usually a Blue Rooster guy. Never been disappointed there. Not going to Stamps although it’s a good burger. Burgers and blues is ok. That’s it . Not a huge fan of five guys …. Good enough but not my favorite. Recommendations ? What am I missing?
Best burger in Jackson and surrounding areas

Krilakis in Ridgeland has a great burger.
Damnit im tired. I read "best burglar in jackson"
Try Walk-Ons (assuming there's on in the Jackson area). It's a chain, but the burgers are really good. And about the same price point as Five Guys.
Foundation Burger is Flowood is a solid burger
Roosters in Fondren is also good
Roosters in Fondren is also good
Stark's in Hazlehurst, right off I-55. BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger or really just a plain hamburger-they are all very good. Plus, order a side of homemade onion rings with comeback sauce for a fun time to be had by all.
Brent's has a classic burger. Nothing fancy. Diner style. Love their fry seasoning.
Crooked Letter Kitchen now has a location at a gas station in Flowood. It has one of the better burgers you will ever eat.
Meh!
They’re ok, not going to say dang I want to go to Walk On’s and get a burger.
Beer selection is good, food overall is just ok.
my vote: Bulldog Burger on Lake Harbour in Ridgeland. Great management (wait staff actually cares) and hard to beat their quality.
Hall of Fame in Bentonia is the best I've found.

Funny thing about a good burger. If you go out and find a really good steak somewhere, after the first bite or at the end the response is usually "That was a good steak." But you find a good burger and it's "OMG! That was the best hamburger i've ever put in my mouth!!!!"

As mentioned, Bulldog Burger. I also like the Burgers at Kristos in Madison
-foundation is a really good burger.....could be great
-Roosters is a really good burger.....rock solid choice for sure
-I really want to try this crooked letter place.....look great
-*-ate at sacred ground bbq in Pocahontas the other day, and they have a smash burger, and I will let you know, but good heavens, that place is good.....their smash burger could possibly be AMAZing, but I don't have the mental control to order the burger over the other stuff they have!!!
-I have not had Krilakas, but will do soon
-Brents is really just average at best......but I'll be damn if the banana nutella milkshake aint almost perfect.....
-STARKS in hazlehurst is a good burger
-Roosters is a really good burger.....rock solid choice for sure

Zip's is not worth a dedicated drive from Jackson, but if you are going that way, it's worth scheduling your trip to be by there at lunch.....that Zip's sauce is legit
Stamps would be my top pick but if you're not going there then a few places I haven't seen mentioned that I've enjoyed are Saltine and Aladdin
Krilakis Mozz burger & fries is awesome. I like Ed's in Hatty when I drive through. They've won that MS Beef council best burger in the state award. I have Foundation burger on my hit list. Looks outstanding. Lous's Full Serve has a great burger. Stamps for nostalgia if you feel like driving by JSU. Another nostalgia spot for me is CS's but haven't been in a cpl years. Waiting to see if the most decorated burger the last 3 years in the Jackson Metro shows up in the thread...
Never had a burger at Char but I don’t doubt it. 4Top does it right. I can’t get away from the bone-in cowboy ribeye & the blackfish
Babalu was definitely my favorite.
I can second some I’ve seen mentioned… krilakis, bulldog burger, sacred ground are all good.
What I’ve not seen mentioned so far… aplos, Lou’s full serv (may only serve this at lunch), mugshots is still good, Georgia blue has a decent burger. Kind of off the wall suggestion is Sombra.
I just had their burger Saturday. Was a bit disappointed. Their gyros & fries are outstanding though. I like Burgers Blues & BBQ and Roosters. Bulldogs Burger may be the best but for dime reason I rarely go there.
Haven't lived in Jackson for decades but CS's was always a great burger. But go during daylight hours.
This post has me longing for a Butch’s Bistro Butter Burger. It’s been closed for about a year and I still haven’t found a replacement for my weekly cheeseburger? Anybody have some great burger recommendations for anywhere between downtown Pensacola and Orange Beach?
Crooked Letter’s burger is not bad but their ribeye sammich is the tits
