Three Mississippi restaurants made the Southern Living magazine list of the “South’s Most Beloved Burger Joints.”
Phillips Drive-In in Laurel, Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain in Corinth, and Latham’s Hamburger Inn in New Albany all made the list that includes 20 southern spots serving “tasty burgers.”
No Jackson burger spot made the list. But these three may be worth a drive.
The restaurants on this list were picked by the editors of Southern Living who report on, research and visit restaurants in the South. Each spot has been around for generations.
The intro to the list states: “These are the places that have been around since our parents and grandparents were kids. Maybe it’s a 1950s-style drive-in or a classic diner where the booths are cherry red and the floors don a familiar black-and-white checker. They’re the places where we’ve made memories near and dear to our hearts. The menus are often short and sweet, but one thing you can always count on at a legendary burger joint is a consistently great meal.”
Phillips Drive-In
Southern Living’s description of Phillips Drive-in states: “Home Town HGTV stars Ben and Erin Napier are big fans of this Laurel, Mississippi drive-in that’s been doing things the same way for more than 50 years. Pull up to the drive-thru or park and order at the walk-up window. Either way, you’ll be leaving with your stomach and your wallet full. You can still score a single burger with all your favorite toppings, plus an order of fries for just over $5. For $3 more you can add a milkshake and complete your taste of nostalgia.”
Laurel has many more things to see while you make the 90-minite drive from Jackson, including Lauren Rogers Museum of Art. Phillips Drive-in is located at 330 S. Magnolia St., in Laurel.

Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain
Southern Living’s description of Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain states: “The oldest business in Corinth, the oldest drugstore in Mississippi, and the oldest drugstore in the country still operated by the same family (it’s on its seventh generation of Borroums) also has one heck of a burger tradition. The Slugburger, a Mississippi staple that developed during the Great Depression that involves flattening ground pork, soy flour, and spices into a patty and deep frying it. It may not be beef, but it’s a beloved burger all the same.”
It may be more than three hours away but could be worth the drive. The building dates to 1843 with hand-made brick according to its website. Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain is located at 604 E Waldron St., in Corinth.
Latham’s Hamburger Inn
Southern Living’s description of Latham’s Hamburger Inn states: “The homemade pie flavors change daily at this Magnolia State favorite, but the legendary dough burgers (beef mixed with flour, also known as a slugburger) haven’t wavered since the spot opened in 1928. Even through a move in 1974, Latham’s has retained its old-school feel using the same wood and cast-iron barstools and counter, original cash register, and a 1960s drink cooler where guests can help themselves to a glass bottle coke.”
Latham’s Hamburger Inn is located at 106 Main St. W. in New Albany.

Mississippi police shooting: How Walmart shoplifting call ended in baby’s death
When to call 911 and when to use non-emergency lines in Memphis, Shelby County
This video explains the importance of knowing when to call 911 for emergencies and when to use non-emergency lines for less critical situations.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating a shoplifting call that resulted in the death of a one-year-old child in Northwest Mississippi.
The incident, which occurred on June 14, has led the family to hire a civil rights attorney, and the officer involved is facing repercussions. Protests have also broken out in response to the city’s lack of action against the officers involved in the incident.
Here is what to know about the situation so far.
Why were policed called to the Walmart in Senatobia?
On June 14, police were called to the Walmart on U.S. 51 in Senatobia regarding a shoplifting incident. Officers with the Senatobia Police Department and the Tate County Sheriff’s Office responded and, upon arrival, saw two subjects and a child fleeing from the store into a vehicle.
According to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, officers attempted to stop the vehicle as the driver drove toward them. One officer shot into the car as the car fled the scene.
Later, the subjects arrived at the local hospital, where the child, 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, was pronounced dead and another subject had critical injuries.
What happened to the officer?
On June 16, the city of Senatobia announced the police officer who shot and killed Wiley was placed on leave.
The announcement came shortly after police deployed tear gas on a group of protestors outside the Walmart where the incident took place. The Walmart was temporarily closed but reopened around 8:20 a.m., according to WMC Action News 5, The Commercial Appeal’s broadcast partner.
“We’re saddened by what took place at our Senatobia, MS, store,” a Walmart spokesperson told WMC. “The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority. We’re working with law enforcement as they continue investigating.”
Is the family taking legal action?
Wiley’s family retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, the attorney’s office announced on June 16.
“A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot,” said Crump in the statement. “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.”
Where is Senatobia?
Senatobia is roughly 40 miles directly south of Memphis and sits along Interstate 55 in Mississippi. According to the most recent Census, the city has a population of approximately 8,400 people.
