BY SARAH HILL
FROM UNIQUE TAKES ON THE CLASSICS to vegetarian options, restaurants around The Northshore create love at first bite with these burgers.
With locations in both Covington and Mandeville, Rusty Pelican is easy to stop into and enjoy one of the many burger options on the menu. A unique choice includes the Southern Comfort Burger. Topped with pimento cheese and a fried green tomato, this burger is sure to satisfy. If a little heat is what you’re after, take a taste of the Special Burger. With a hot sausage patty and both melted and fried cheese, the first bite of this burger will help you understand why it is called special. sippinstation.com
Another not-to-miss spot in Covington and Mandeville is Coffee Rani. The Mushroom Burger is a treat for everyone, not just vegetarians. This “burger” features grilled portobello and button mushrooms held together with provolone and Swiss cheese. Avocado, alfalfa sprouts, diced onion, carrots and purple cabbage add a bit of color, making this burger Insta-worthy. coffeerani.com
Over in Slidell, Southside Café is a lively place with vintage military memorabilia adorning the walls and murals painted by local artists. With an assortment of local and regional beers on tap and a 10oz. brisket burger on the menu, it doesn’t get much better, right? Wrong. Take the brisket burger and request it “smothered.” It will come topped with grilled onions, mushrooms and brown gravy, making it a heap of deliciousness. southsidecafe.net
The Greyhound boasts the hidden gem among burgers in Covington. The Greyhound Pub Burger may sound simple but do not be fooled. This burger is juicy and hearty with patties made of short rib, chuck and sirloin topped with a truffle aioli, creamy gruyere cheese, crispy cremini mushrooms and caramelized onions on a brioche bun. Pair it with a signature cocktail and let your senses soar. thegreyhoundcovington.com
