Burger Barn in Jackson, Tennessee

While searching for Antique Shops in Jackson, Tennessee, for my collection, my wife Marcela and I ran across the Burger Barn. It’s a must-stop in my book whenever you see a sign that says, “Real Homemade Hamburgers.”

Burger Barn is an old-school joint where you place your order at the window (where you also pick up the food) and then sit on the covered picnic benches to enjoy your meal.

We’re in the South, so a chili dog must also be ordered. It wasn’t homemade chili, which killed it for me.

Marcela wants spicy fries, and I agree to share them. It was the right choice. Usually, I’m not too fond of pre-spiced fries, but I enjoyed these.

On the burger side of things, she goes all Patty Melt while I go Large Cheeseburger (aka two patties). I’m not sure I would consider what she was served a proper Patty Melt (toasted white bread instead of griddled buttered rye bread).

It did taste good, so that has to mean something, right? The Large Cheeseburger was a winner, with added points for the little meat corner hanging out the bread. I’m telling you that for $3.29, it cannot be beaten.

While reviewing the menu, I noticed that Burger Barn also has hot wings…..and a Chuckwagon Steak Sandwich. This calls for a return visit.
