Burgers & Blues

Just off of County Line Road in Ridgeland, Burgers & Blues is THE spot for great food, service and atmosphere…  Owners Steven & Jen Sahler said the combination of a family restaurant with a lively nightspot was always intended. “We wanted a place where everyone felt comfortable bringing their children.”  “A lot of your restaurants — they either have one thing or another,” Sahler said. “Either they got great food or a great bar. The thing about a great restaurant is that you’re family friendly but the thing about a great bar is that you’re not family friendly. My vision was a kid-friendly place where I could hit everyone from infants to 90-year-olds.”  Appetite is a necessity at Burgers & Blues. In addition to signature creations like “The BNB,” “Sonic Boom” and “The County Line,” other burgers are arranged with everything from pimento cheese to peanut butter. “THE WHAMMY,” three one-pound patties with all the trimmings, is the restaurant’s ultimate eating challenge. Winners who finish in 30 minutes or less get the meal free, a BNB T-shirt and photo on the wall of fame next to a personally signed photo from Adam Richman and the Man V Food Nation crew who filmed at BNB in November 2011! “What a great experience to have Adam and his crew here at BNB, it will always be remembered as an awesome time with a humble and nice group of guys”. Kitchen preparation is labor intensive and every morning the produce truck leaves the crew with hundreds of pounds of potatoes and beef. Everything is prepared fresh daily. Customers not only rave about the piping hot hamburgers and mouth-watering appetizers, but also the restaurant’s nightly live music. Sahler said he figured the concept of a Mississippi blues-themed establishment was a good fit for the area. Sahler said that, when compared with Memphis and New Orleans, Jackson has only a handful of successful blues bars. “That’s when I said let’s take something that there’s not a lot of here and I think we’ll have a hit,” he said. With the newly covered deck packed with flat screens, heaters, fans and strings of lights, people are drawn in by a great environment for all ages to enjoy live music, sports and the outdoors.
