The Largest Burgers In Mississippi Require Two Hands At The Burger Basket

Sitting pretty on the Louisiana/Mississippi line, Osyka is a tiny town in Pike County that’s home to fewer than 500 residents. While most would consider this a drive-by town on their way north to McComb or south to Kentwood, I’d urge you to pull over and pay a visit to The Burger Basket. This restaurant in Osyka, Mississippi is a local favorite and home to some of the biggest, most delicious burgers in Mississippi. Let’s check it out:

Don’t let the unassuming exterior of Burger Basket fool you, this restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in town.

Like so many small-town restaurants in Mississippi, Burger Basket is a casual, come-as-you-are eatery.

It’s a no frills, all flavor restaurant which is the perfect place to stop on a road trip.

While burgers are the specialty, and we'll get to those in a minute, there are plenty of non-burger options on the menu.

The Burger Basket renewed its menu in January of 2024 and added plenty of new dishes you'll want to try.

The Burger Basket is known to be very generous with its portions, so be sure to come hungry.

Even the salads spill off of the plate!

Of course, the burgers here are simply the best.

You can't go wrong here.

The double-meat cheeseburger is so big, you'll need to take a proper "burger stance" to eat it.

You know the one. Two hands, rolled up sleeves, wide stance... Hovering over the plate to minimize spilling. You know you're in for a good burger when the burger stance comes into play.

I know fries are the ultimate companion to a burger, but the onion rings at The Burger Basket are the way to go here.

These homemade onion rings are just delicious! Throw one or two on top of your burger and thank me later.
