5/5 -- A Ponchatoula Gem You Have to Try If you ever find yourself anywhere near Ponchatoula, do yourself a favor and stop at Toula Burger on W Pine Street. I walked in expecting a good burger... I walked out questioning why every other burger in my life hasn't been held to this standard. From the jump, the vibe feels like what a small-town Louisiana burger spot should be: warm, welcoming, and buzzing with people who clearly know they're in for something special. You can tell the crew cares -- not just about making food, but about creating a place the community is proud of. I ordered the signature burger, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the kind of bite that makes you pause. Perfectly seasoned beef, cooked exactly how I asked, layered with toppings that taste thoughtfully chosen rather than thrown together. The bun held everything like a champ -- soft enough to enjoy, sturdy enough to keep the whole experience tidy. It's the little things, and they nail every one. The fries? Golden, salty, addictive. The kind of fries you keep eating even after you're full because "just one more" somehow becomes ten. What really stood out, though, was the service. Ponchatoula is known for its hospitality, but the folks at Toula Burger take it to another level. Genuine smiles, real conversations, and you can feel the pride they have in what they've built. It's refreshing. To the owners: Y'all created something special here. You've got a spot that feels rooted in community but tastes like it belongs on a national "must-try" list. I'd love to know more about the inspiration behind the menu -- especially what led you to craft a burger that balanced richness and freshness so perfectly. Keep doing what you're doing; the attention to detail shows. I'll absolutely be back -- and I'll be bringing people with me. read more

I'm really sad that I could not give this cute burger place 5 stars. Here is why. This is my first time here, but my husband has been here a couple of other times. He is a burger aficionado. While the hand patted Burger is fantastic, my husband commented that every single time he has been there the fries are lukewarm. I opted for a hand battered shrimp Poboy. The batter was really good. Served freshly fried. If you're weird about veins in your shrimp, these are not deveined shrimp. The problem is that the bread to shrimp ratio is off. It's a really thick bread. The restaurant atmosphere is so quaint and homey. The staff was so friendly. I can chalk the bread thing up to personal preference but they need to do better with hot fries. read more

cute little joint , very cozy ! Loved the burgers and fries !! Have yet to try a poboy but I'd love too soon ! Service is always so helpful and very polite read more

Ordered a double smash burger....delicious!!! Good size burger and very flavorful! We were greeted right when we walked in and the lady behind the counter was very nice. Nice posters on the wall from years of the strawberry festival and good music playing. read more

We love this place! My husband is always on the quest to find the best burger, and this is his favorite so far! The debris fries and sweet potato fries are both delicious. Everyone is friendly and it appears nice and clean. Btw, we have driven from Covington 3 times in the last month, that's how good it is. read more

This place has amazing smash burgers. You can tell they are home made! I didn't snag a photo but it was a beautiful, juicy burger! The debris fries (includes roast beef, gravy, cheese) were great also, but definitely get a small unless you are sharing it with a few people. Service was great, and the workers were very attentive and brought out food that they forgot to give us with no questions asked! I will definitely be coming back here for my burger fix! read more

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! Great location . Toula burger had the best burgers and very consistent.

Very good place! The two folks with me enjoyed their smash burgers and said it would be their new burger joint I had a smoked sausage, but with the Cajun dog fixings. It was pretty good. The sausage was nice and marked by the flat top, but it wasn't very hot as in temperature. I feel like it needed a few condiments for it to really kick it up a notch, but that falls on me for not adding any! Some times you just gotta try it how it is on the menu first - as chef intended Very friendly staff. You order first then sit and they bring it to you. She was very helpful and answered all of our questions we had. I will say it was very loud in there, so if you're sensitive to noise this may not be for you. It wasn't super busy - maybe 3-4 other families eating, but just between the conversations and music it made it a bit hard for us. I would like to come back and try a burger next! read more

My friend n I are here eating one of the best burgers ive had in ages. But guess what. These debris fries are the bomb. Perfect not too much salt gravy is awesome n you'll need several napkins this is a great place to eat hands down. Charbroiled burgers delicious read more

Has been good every time I have gone. Hands down best roast beef poboy in the area. The burgers are good too. They can take a little time sometimes, but it's worth it. But again, the roast beef poboy is real beef, cooked and seasoned well, and makes the bread soggy, which is a must-have for a rb poboy. Reminds me of an old joint we went to for these when I was a kid. If you're in town, give it a shot. Poboy is loaded like it should be. Burgers are big enough too. Why eat at 5 guys? read more

If I'm paying $80 plus for burgers and fries for my family, please make it fresh burgers and hot fries. We were served with lukewarm burgers and fries that were just either sitting in the warm lamp or microwaved. read more

First time trying Toula burger and it already has become one of my favorites. Came in 30 minutes before closing and the staff was very welcoming and friendly and the space has a bit of a charm with the paintings and signage. I ordered a double burger with cheese and sweet potato fries and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the serving size. The burger itself was made to perfection, cooked just right to capture all the savory goodness and not greasy like some of the other burgers I've tried in the area. The sweet potato fries were served in generous portion and were well worth the $2 up charge. Next time you are craving a good burger, do yourself a favor and skip the fast food or major burger chains and give Toula burger a try, you will not be disappointed! I will for sure come back to try more items on the menu! read more

Toula Burger - Double Smash Burger - Burgers Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW I highly recommend Toula Burger as a person with celiac! They have a "keto" burger that they lettuce wrap and you can put the toppings you desire. The burger had a crisp to it, but I loved that. I checked with the owner on the seasonings used & they were all gf. She did tell me not to let her secrets out, so just know the seasoning is safe Fries are fried in their own oil & they were really good!!! A celiacs favorite thing to hear! The same seasoning from the burgers is used on fries. If you have a seafood allergy, their seafood and other battered meats are fried separately as well. The owner said she spoke with a friend who has allergies and took any and all cross contamination precautions that she could! (THANK YOU!) read more

Cozy restaurant amongst the antique shops. Walk up counter order service. Good menu full of choices. Our choices this trip were the smash burgers, they were great. Perfectly cooked burgers, dressed with fresh veggies and cooked to order French fries. read more

Everything was amazing! The food is fresh and never disappoints! We went in pretty late and were still treated with care! Alaina was great!

Yum!! Delicious burgers and poboys! We will definitely be going back! Service was also good.

As a person with a disability, I was disappointed that this restaurant did not have easy access at the entrance. I use a wheelchair and there was no ramp at the entrance. Fortunately I am able to stand but I required two able bodied adults to help me up and over their threshold and then my husband managed to get my wheelchair into the restaurant. Their restroom was up 3 stairs so it was completely unusable for me. The food was delicious but because of the ADA noncompliance, I will not try to eat at this restaurant again. I will have to send my husband for pickup orders, if I wish to eat another meal from Toula Burgers. Sincerely, Ellen P read more

My husband and I finally got to try this place and it did NOT disappoint! He got the double burger and I got the chicken burger. Both were excellent!
