I don't know why we've never been here until tonight, but it's your typical collegetown burger joint. We only come to Hattie to visit family, and we were in the area for Christmas. I wanted to try their gluten-free buns, which did NOT disappoint. Their fries risk cross-contamination, but I took some enzymes and didn't have any side effects. They have a nice dog-friendly patio with ample seating. Our mini goldendoodle had the best time! We will definitely be back. read more

Today I had to go to Laurel, Ms to pick up a vechile. On the way back we decided to stop at Ed's Burgers in Hattiesburg, Ms.. My wife just got a normal burger and I got the June special burger which had Jerk sauce & pineapple relish on it. My burger had a very good taste overall but the burgers were over cooked. I also ordered a peach shake & that was scrumptious!! Everything came pretty quickly. My wife like the place because of all the Post-a-notes everywhere. Neat Place.... read more

Being hamburger lovers, my spouse and I had to give this place a try and it was a nice surprise. Most people think hamburgers are a simple, easy food to make. But there's an art to it and Ed's Burger Joint got it right! It's definitely worth the somewhat higher prices to eat there. The burger tasted phenomenal and I am extremely picky when it comes to hamburger meat. The fries were very good, hot and perfectly crispy, as fries should be. You can eat inside or outside at this place and it has classic decor with great music. The food and atmosphere gives off that fun feeling of being at an amusement park. Ed's is one of those places that long after your visit you still keep thinking about how good the food was and how you can't wait to go back. It will definitely be my go-to hamburger place when I am in Hattiesburg. Note: I saw someone left a 3-star review about Ed's. Who the heck goes to a hamburger joint to get a turkey burger? All I can say is bless their hearts! read more

The food was mediocre at best. My husband and I both got the turkey burger with fries and 2 drinks which came out to about $33 before tip. The amount of fries you get is laughable. The service for a Sunday afternoon was pretty quick but the fries came out room temperature. What I did love was the activities available outside on the patio, the giant connect four, hula hoops, ping pong, etc. They are also dog friendly. I don't think it'll be a place we'd ever go back to if we're ever in town again but I think if you're a local and looking for a cool spot to hang out for a while and grab a quick bite to eat, this would be the place. read more

Very disappointed with the cheeseburger at this restaurant. Service at counter was great but burger and fries were not too great. Bathroom was dirty and in need of attention. Reported to a staff member who just stared at us with no response. read more

Jalapeño popper burger? *chef's kiss. Delightful! I was kinda unimpressed with this place on my last visit. But I'm here in town visiting the youngest and he wanted to come here. I got the jalapeño popper burger and switched out the traditional burger to a turkey burger. It. Was. Delicious! Youngest got the bacon cheeseburger. Oldest got the cheeseburger. Food came fast and fresh. Messy and yummy. Fun place. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. read more

Delicious. The burger was absolutely delicious. Salt to patty ratio was great. The bacon was the perfect crispiness. The burger comes with two patties, which I was thankful for since they were smash patties. I ordered the fries to go with them and they were good; however, my partner had the tots and they were better so I'll definitely order those next time. We walked into the restaurant at just the right time because after we ordered, there was a line out the door and the people didn't stop coming. So glad we found this place for our one night stay in Hattiesburg. The line was long, but somehow there was plenty of seating. The weather was comfortable as well so a lot of people sat outside. read more

Ed's Burger Joint - Bacon Cheeseburger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

I don't know what their usual wait times are like, so today's experience for me may not be the norm. Mid-afternoon on a Friday. Ordered a burger and shake to-go. Burger came out in ~10 minutes. Perfect. I then sat at the bar waiting on my shake for another 20 minutes. Needless to say, the burger was cold at that point. The patties also seemed very dry, probably from sitting for 30 minutes. Shake was great! read more

While on a trip we drove past this 2 story burger joint. Looked cool so we went inside and ordered some really good juicy burgers! I had the fried jalapeño burger. It was good but missing sweet jam. Next time I'll Know to order it. We had the fried pickles ..... not my favorite so I won't orders those again. The milkshakes OMG! Worth it! Get it. Slurp them up and enjoy. The atmosphere is loud and enjoyable. All the sticky notes everywhere along with old car parts makes this a very family friendly place to check out. read more

Our very first time since the opening of Ed's. The pros... Ordered the Ed's Melt with fries and my other half had the same with onion rings. We sat at the bar, so we got to skip standing in line to order. The server was very friendly and accommodating. I was NOT impressed with the beer choices, especially, served in 12oz. cans. The way that the food was served in little drive in cartons was not impressive at all. Anyway, long story short, the food was good but if I had to stand in line to place my order and get my own beverage, I might as well go to McDonalds. Sitting at the bar, you pay for everything as soon as you order, just as you would standing in line, not a fan. We really would have liked another beer or two but we were never asked and had already paid. Anyway, good food but we did not care for the process, very informal. The decor was on point for the establishment. read more

I called in a pickup order including a malt. When I arrived, my malt (thicker shake) was being made. I observed the server preparing it. He apparently underestimated the ingredients because once he poured the malt into the cup, it was only about half full. He proceeded to make a face, USED TAP water to retrieve the residual malt from the silver container, and poured MILKY WATER into my cup. The cup was still not full, so he flipped the malt upside-down for "appearances" and placed it in the freezer, not knowing I had already arrived and witnessed all of this. Once I arrived at the counter, I attempted to explain to the cashier what I observed, but I was repeatedly cut off and condescendingly mansplained the process. I was so taken aback by the encounter; I just walked away without causing a scene. Needless to say, I did not receive any of the items I ordered and will not return to this rude establishment. I called and spoke with a manager who was pretty nice about the entire situation and offered to address/fix the problem. He stated he was going to pull the camera footage and get back with me, however, I did not hear back from him. I'm thinking, IF they pulled the footage, they saw exactly what I witnessed and how I was addressed. read more

yummy travel stop!! seems like a great place to play games and meet up with friends. we had the blue cheese burger and the bacon burger, double paddies and they did not skimp on the toppings!! really great burgers, & loved the sweet potato fries. great seating options, kind staff and quick service! my husband thinks the only way it could have been better is if there was a foot rest at the bar. read more

Ed's is one of our go-to places when we are in Hattiesburg for something. The burgers are nicely sized with a good grill char on them. They have a few creative burgers that are unique. I had the El Magooey (two patties with pimento cheese between and on top, kind of like a Juicy Lucy burger) and it was divine! The tater tots were nice. The fries have the skins on them which is a little different but tasty. They have a good selection of draft brews, but I had to default to an old friend --- PBR in a can! And cheap! (as it should be). The staff is super friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very casual. A great place to stay a while and eat and socialize. It gets loud and crowded at peak times, but the food comes out quickly. The outside seating is fun if the weather cooperates. The parking is odd. The spaces close up are either handicapped spots or for To-Go orders. It is best to park around back in the big shopping center parking lot and walk up. read more

Best burgers we have ever eaten! Nicest cashier and staff. Best family friendly atmosphere! My kiddos (11 & 14) both loved the place as well as myself and my husband. It was the perfect food and rest stop for us on our way back home from Gulf Shores. Definitely going to make it a new tradition to stop here for lunch every year! read more

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere! Not one bad thing to say! Everyone was so nice! Food is absolutely wonderful!

I've had better burgers and more economical, the plus side they were served hot. The chopped salad was basic, but passable I make better one at home . The young man that took our order was super nice and brought the order to us. The interior was clean, rustic looking with lots of seating and tvs. read more

OMGOODNESS! What a fun place to stop, just minutes from interstate. The staff greeted us with a smile and so friendly. Lots of burgers to choose from. Finally, I chose the melt, which was a great choice...'long drive and it was the boom! The burger had such a great taste, loved every juicy-bite! My hubby of course order a big burgers that was amazing! Yes, he had a delicious Vanilla milkshake to go with his &fries.... I would say give them a ten hands down! First time to stop but will definitely stop again. Thank Ed's ...you have outstanding business and delightful staff. I would guess you are a wonderful boss!!! Hard to fine hard working folks that have a work ethic anymore these day that turn out great food and service.. see you down the road for my next Burger adventure!! Way to go.. Yummy! read more

Y'all I'm not kidding this was the best burger i have ever had!! We drove 2.5 hours to come here and I hope I get the chance to come back! The fries were amazing. My friend ordered sweet potato fries and I swear those were the best ones I've ever had, too! The atmosphere is so cute and this would be such a good place for a family meal! There are swings, ping pong, etc. outside for the kids. We immortalized our visit by putting a sticky note on the wall! Keep doing what you're doing, Ed's! read more

We returned to Ed's one year later, once again driving through Hattiesburg on our way to Spring Break in Florida. This time around, it was just as busy, but the service was not great, they were out of gluten free buns, and they messed up our order and took too long to fix it (we had all finished our meals by the time my daughter's correct order came out). Despite the lackluster experience, the food was still amazing! The burgers are to die for. Sweet potato fries are on point. I'm sure we will be back again next year. read more

Good lord I can't add a thing that 317 photos won't already tell you. Fantastic burgers EVERY time, but I've found that i don't care for their onion rings. They always seem thick and under cooked. Tots fir me from now on. But staff are always smiling and spot on. I love Ed's Burger Joint! read more

Burgers were good, though a bit pricey for what we received. Service was what I would expect for a walk up counter.

A stop at Ed's usually follows a trip to the Lucky Rabbit. I order a different burger each time and I have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and willing to answer any questions we have about the menu. I love decor and atmosphere inside the building. I also love that they have an area for people to hang out and play outside. I have previously eaten the Bacon Cheeseburger, the Chili Cheeseburger, and the 'Shroom Burger. We've shared fries, tots, and onion rings in various forms and they were all tasty. And their milk shakes - they're divine and HUGE. We have figured out that it's best for us to share an app and a burger if we want a shake. Otherwise, we'd be too full. read more

The food and the service was awesome!!! They really worked hard to making sure we were satisfied with our meal and ask if we wanted dessert

No hate at all, but it wasn't worth the prices in my opinion. The food looked better than it tasted--nothing particularly memorable. The inside was nice and service was quick and friendly. Unfortunately, I ended up with a stomach ache the entire night. read more

We were here 5 years ago and it's still just as good today! Great burgers! Super nice staff! Fun vibe!

Service was good and quick. Food not so great. Burger was very salty & quite pink in the center. Onion rings were greasy. No need to return here. read more

Robert St Clair-It's time you start looking at your cooks. Why would a cook send out burnt sweet potatoes and tell the server "I know the sweet potatoes are burnt, just tell the person I can cook some more". This is not GOOD business. I will never come back Ed's just gets worse and worse every time I come to eat here. Janeen August 7,2025 read more

Another Robert St. John venture, and like his others, this is first rate. They advertise "juiciest" and live up to it. Actually downright messy, but delicious. My wife was very pleased with hers on GF bun, as was I with my mushroom burger. Order at the counter; burgers come to table fast! Feel of place is playfully fun and funky. We wished, however, for a good glass of red wine to accompany our burgers, but only beer is available. Inexpensive. read more

Food was OUTSTANDING !!! My favorite burger joint ever....my wife and I stop here every time we come thru Hattiesburg. Service No# 1 and the atmosphere is spot on. I always look for the health inspection grade and it is A+. If you want a real authentic hamburger this is the place. Thanks Ed's until we meet again!!!! Roll Tide !!! read more

Grab a menu and order at the counter. They bring it to you, fast and delicious! First time patron and totally impressed! Ordered the 'Shroom Burger and topped it with some grilled onions. Added a side of onion rings and WOW! Outstanding!!! THE best burger and rings I have had ANYWHERE in YEARS! Yes, YEARS! The burger was fresh, juicy, seasoned well and NOT greasy but you could taste the natural fat in the meat. The onion rings were sweet and hand dipped! Not over battered, just perfect! Seasoned great!! I will be returning when I pass through again! read more

Decided to stop while in town because of the reviews. While the place is a cool vibe and has super over the top milkshakes which we liked, it wasn't what I thought it would be as far as the burgers. I just had the cheeseburger and it was 2 patties but was really salty tasting. I got maybe a hint of Dales seasoning in the meat and to me that marinade is always too salty for my taste. I was not prepared for the prices. It was close to $70 for 3 burgers, 3 drinks, 3 tots, and a milkshake. Way too expensive. Could have had a steak dinner for that price. The tots were perfectly crispy and that's all I ate. Had maybe 3 bites of the burger but it just wasn't good to me. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger and he said it was decent. Glad I tried it to get the milkshake but definitely wouldn't go again for the burgers. read more

My burger was excellent. Cute restaurant and great service. Recommend trying it if you are in need of a good burger.

Went to Ed's today and was disappointed in the food.The fries were served cold and I have never seen chicken tenders be so small. They were also cold and rubbery. Having food served hot is a bare minimum expectation in a restaurant. The milkshakes were as good as always. read more
