If you ever needed proof that good things come in small packages, just head to the White Trolley Café in Corinth. The tiny eatery has garnered a reputation for its version of a state specialty – the slugburger. If you’re not familiar with the tasty creation, the name may be a little off-putting but don’t worry – it doesn’t contain actual slugs. Regardless of what’s in the burgers at the White Trolley Café, they’re amazingly delicious and a must-try. Take a look:
Situated along Highway 72, the White Trolley Café has been serving Corinth since 1947.
Since the first day the café opened, its specialty has been the slugburger. The popular delicacy is made by combining beef, pork, and soy grits, which are used as an extender.
The name may seem unusual but once you learn the origin, it makes sense. "Slug" was once the slang term for a nickel and that just so happened to be how much the burgers cost.

Step inside the café and you’ll find a long counter lined with stools, which are usually occupied by locals.
A slugburger without cheese will cost you just 85 cents; with cheese, 99 cents. According to customer reviews, you'll want to order at least two along with some fries and a Coke.

Perfecting their recipe for decades, the White Trolley Cafe's slugburger is definitely one of the best in the state!
