If you find yourself in Oxford, you have to swing by and grab a burger from Phillips Grocery.
It may not look like much from the outside, but don’t ever judge a book by its cover. This rustic eatery is home to some insanely good, award-winning burgers in Mississippi.
The original Philips Grocery is in Holly Springs, Mississippi and was built in 1892 and served as a saloon until prohibition put a screeching halt on alcohol sales.

In 1919, it transformed into a grocery store when it swapped ownership in 1948 when Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Phillips bought it and started making what would be their famous hamburgers.
USA Today named Phillips Grocery one of the top three hamburger restaurants in the United Stated in 1989. Then, in 1995, Gourmet Magazine praised these hand-crafted burgers as an American classic. Men’s Journal, the L.A. Times, Delta Airlines Sky Magazine, and Mississippi Magazine have all sung their burger praises over Phillips Grocery, and we’ve even covered the Holly Springs location in a previous article.
The hand-cut fries are a home run, but I'm a sucker for onion rings and these onion rings are really good (slide one on top of your burger and thank me later).
