There are lots of great burger joints in Mississippi, but not many have stood the (taste) test of time like Latham’s Hamburger Inn. Despite being located in a small town, the eatery has endured through the decades. And it’s not only a local favorite. Since opening it’s received countless accolades, including its most recent – being dubbed the state’s best hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Take a look:

At the end of last year, the website Cheapism named Latham’s Hamburger Inn in New Albany the best hole-in-the-wall burger joint in Mississippi.

In the 1970s, Latham’s moved to its current spot, bringing with it the rail car's stools and countertop, which still adorn the eatery to this day.

A real treat for hamburger aficionados, Latham’s serves up slugburgers, which are burgers made by mixing beef with flour.

It’s not just the unique beef mixture that makes slugburgers standout. There’s also the cooking method used. Rather than being cooked on a griddle like traditional burgers, slugburgers are fried in a cast iron skillet.
