Last night-4/13/26- Food was great, got a BBQ Bacon burger with tots, but the reason for my 3 star review is because of the service- my best friend orders and no problems, then it was my turn and the cashier was busy ( no problem i understand- it's what happened next is what i don't understand ) The cashier asked the front food line employee to take my order, the front food line employee said "no" then the cashier walked away with her business and the front food line employee stood there and proceeded to not take my order. To the point where the cook in the window asked if she, the front food line employee, took my order- and she said "i already taken their order" then some people walk inside and she turns to the counter, points to the people behind me and my boyfriend and says "i can take the next person's order" That is when i looked at her and said , "that is us, we are next" and she looks at me and says "oh yall are next" and i gave her my order and i walked away. I don't understand what was so hard about asking me if anyone had taken care of us and/or if anyone took our order as we stand at the front counter right in front of the register patiently waiting for our order to be taken. I think her name is Dasha maybe-not quite sure. Cashier's name was Issabella. I've worked various places in the food industry and that just seemed unprofessional. She had no problem taking anyone else order after me. Took her 13 mins between my best friend's order being taken to mine getting taken. Speedy service..? mm that needs work. read more

This was delicious and very well-made. Ordered the larger burgers and the strawberry milkshakes and they were delicious. Reminded me of the In-N-Out Burger set up where they are really neat and and very well presented. read more

Wow me and a friend was just talking bout the best burgers we ever had. I'll never forget this place. Back in 2011 when we were at grambling state we use to eat this multiple times a week. I'm not surprised u guys are still standing. Hands down the best burger I've ever had even 15 years later. I had to come look you up and leave a review read more

Good old fashioned style burger. Wait time is awhile at the drive thru but overall good

This place hits every single time. The burgers are always hot and juicy. Sides cooked to order and the atmosphere is the same everywhere. It's not the fanciest place and the employees are not fine dining but they are extremely cordial and polite. 5/5 read more

This is a great little place to grab a real burger, fries, and shake. We usually drive through on our way home, but there is a dining room. It's got a diner feel and friendly service. All the burgers are described as "giant". I wouldn't describe them that way, but they are very generous for the price, served hot and fresh next to skinny cut fries in traditional drive in style. They have great flavor and you can top them with just about anything-pepperjack, jalapeños, chili, whatever. Everyone locally raves about Griff's. It's like a hometown place even thought it's a chain . read more

They're so slow it takes foreveerrrrrrreerrrrrrrrrrrrrr just to get two things. I've been in line forever do not recommend

I used to love Griff's burgers! Was a regular stop for me while I was going to Tech. It's been awhile, but my son will be there soon and will have to grab a burger when visiting. Looking forward to it. Glad to see it's still alive and well. read more

Great milkshakes and burgers are good and they steak fingers were amazing the milkshakes bussing to

Love Griff's! When I'm hungry for a burger, Griff's is the place to eat. Service is good and the price is right. With everything costing more these days, Griff's keeps their prices reasonable in comparison to other joints. Give it a try! read more

Well it wouldn't look like much in the outside. It's kind of old, looks like something you would see in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. But don't let that deter you. It's a little restaurants tucked away on the south side of campus and if you blink you'll miss it. When I got there It was a pretty standard wait, the drive through was just like any other drive through, they were courteous but not too courteous so it wasn't weird. I ordered a #1 combo with a sweet tea and an order of onion rings. Surprising not expensive. I got to the window and when you're hit by that "how you doing baby" you know that food bout to slap. The first thing I get is this basically Styrofoam bucket and that was my drink. I'm all here for that. Then I get my food and they were super generous with the portion. You get what you paid for and more I would say. Burger was a nice size, I would compare it more to a texas Whataburger (not LA's, that's trash). It was better in a way that the burger was nice juicy and flavorful everything you want in a burger. Understand it was not a gourmet burger but a fast food burger so compare it at that level. The fries were nice, fresh, and hot. Could use a little more salt in my opinion but that's ok. The biggest takeaway I got from this were the onion rings. Hands down one of the best onion rings I've gotten in a long time. It passes the bite test where the onion doesn't all come out on the first bite and was nice and tender onion that almost seemed caramelized. The batter was flavorful and crispy. Whole meal I would rate at a 4/5 stars. I enjoyed it, wasn't the best I've eaten but a solid option for the convenience and price. Will be coming back for more! read more

Griff's Hamburgers - a person holding a drink - Burgers Near Me - Ruston, Louisiana

Stopped here on the way back to Texas. Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The service was amazing, the food came out fast and so fresh, huge portions for $11. Also to add the bathrooms were so clean! Definitely worth the stop! read more

Good selection of hamburgers. They always have great service. Restaurant is always clean.

I go to Ruston every couple of weeks or so, always intending on picking up something different, but I always decide on Griff's, instead. Their burgers are just so good, as are their fries and sweet tea. The employees are always polite, and the service is fast. Griff's, in my opinion, have the best fast food burgers in Louisiana. Just be careful when eating in your car, because the bags are thin. I found out the hard way, when I lifted the bag from my lap, and saw that the ketchup I'd put on it had soaked through the bag and onto my jeans. Normally, I'd eat inside. But we aren't in normal times. Still, thin bags won't stop this review from being a five-star review. Just a lesson learned. read more

Came after a cross ountry meet for the boys. My son says 4 stars but I'm giving three because it's pretty run down. They definitely cook to order. Had to wait a little for our food. I tried the Jalepeno cheddar puffs. They are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Just wish I had some hot sauce or salsa instead of ketchup for dipping. Son had the burger. I had a bite. Pretty good for the price. $6.99 double cheeseburger meal. read more

Delicious hamburgers but if you say bacon in drive thru they charge you. Hope this helps

My father brought me to Griff's because when he was in college he would frequent this establishment. From the way it looks, not much has changed since the 60's but that was cool to see my father transported back in time to his youth. The food was definitely cooked to order & was delicious! It was a good old fashioned, non artificial, honest to goodness burger. It was much bigger than the burgers of today's fast food restaurants, the fries were fresh & in abundance, and the drink was huge! The biggest cup I've seen in a long time! But it was priced around $8 similar to most combo meals of contemporary restaurants. Eating at Griff's was eating in a blast from the past! I'll definitely be back next time I venture south. read more

Griff's is an 50 plus year old franchise (Started in the 1960s) that is mostly located in the southern states. I have eaten here before and it reminds me of a homemade hamburger bar/grill from diners. They serve other types of meats besides hamburgers (chicken,steak and fish sandwiches). I tried the Griff's giant burger and it was it good burger, but it is not a burger that will have you switch over to your "Goto" burger! When I come to Ruston again, I will be sure to stop by!! Try it!! read more

The best hamburgers. Hands down. They are always cooked fresh and they are definitely worth it. The onion rings are also very tasty! The restaurant is always packed when I go or pass by and I definitely understand why! The service takes an acceptable amount of time for the food quality. I also think they are doing very well for serving during a pandemic, even though they are drive thru only, they do their best! Would definitely recommend & eat again!! read more

Not any better than Sonic or Burger King. Wasn't impressed with the fries either. Mine were soggy and not very hot.

Griff's has a homemade burger type feeling, patties aren't made in perfect circles or squares like most franchise places. I sometimes like the extra greasiness of the burgers..fries could be better but when they're hot they get the job done but only when they are hot. read more

While coming through Louisiana, I got hungry and wanted to find a local joint to have a burger. We mapped out another burger joint but it led us to a funeral home and said we arrived at our destination, scary. We turned around and found this location. It was our second choice. We got there and in the parking lot, there was a strong burger joint smell, it was intoxicating. We finally went in and the menu and ordering were very simple. I ordered the basic hamburger with fries and onion rings. It was and it did take some time to come out and when it did, it looked pretty good. I did finally bite into the burger and it was juicy and had a good basic flavor to it. I did not expect it to be gourmet but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a good value and I enjoyed it. The onion rings were good and greasy. Overall, it is good and I would go again but not on a regular basis, mostly because it would be a 10 hour drive from our house, it's not that good to drive that far for food. read more

Reminds me of the old fashioned burgers from the 70s at Sonic. They are cheap and filling if you are needing some lunch on a budget. You can adjust to get -/+ hamburgers and toppings for how hungry you are that day. Don't expect a gourmet burger and fries then it will meet your expectations. read more

OMG! Well, let me get started. The appearance is pretty daunting, but when you go inside, it is cleaner than one would expect. Enough about appearances. DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Well I got a #1 which is a double stack hamburger with all the essentials that comes with a freaking huge drink and fries. I love it sooooo much!! The fries were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! I could eat those fries for the rest of my life, seriously.. Then get to the burger. UMMM!! I can not explain it. The best I can say that it will make you cry? Yea, crying will happen. I was literally weeping because I have never tasted a burger that was so delicious in my life. Don't make me remember it, because I will get depressed again...... read more

Griff's Hamburgers - Yummmmmm - Burgers Near Me - Ruston, Louisiana

Griff's is great for the price you pay. The prices on everything are low and you get a large amount of food for what you pay. The staff here are always friendly. You'll never have to wait long for your food. Out of all the fast food in Ruston this place is one of the best around. All in all it is a great place to visit to get some food. The building does show its age and could use some fixing up. read more

I went to college around these parts and man oh man did I love a greasy burger from this joint. Every time I go here I get the monster burger with three stacks. It's so on point. The place doesn't look up today inside one bit. All original stuff it seems like. Fries are good but once they get warm they are garbage. The staff is like any other place you go, fast food of course. I wouldn't eat this stuff everyday but I go here when I'm in town visiting. If u want a burger that will hit the spot forget the Arch and go to Griffs. read more

Griff's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Ruston, Louisiana

Horrible and rude employees. The one who looks like a drag queen yelled at me for coughing while ordering and before that made me wait 10 minutes before I could order. Get better employees. But the burgers slap. read more

The lady that took my order at the window was actually terrible, worst service I've ever had anywhere. She huffed and puffed and said "are you serious" as I was ordering. My burger taste like a McDouble.. not a fan. read more

Man, NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T DRIVE THRU GRIFF'S AND SINK MY TEETH INTO A REASONABLY PRICED, JUICY, PROBABLY LIFE THREATENING HAMBURGER. And fries. The place is terrific, the people are friendly, and the place is pristine. My favorite place in town. Literally, I don't know how a place this good can exist within such a close radius to such a bad coffee shop (not the Depot). This place is BOMB. Griff's over everything. read more

Ok, I was in a hurry and decided to give Griff's another try. I'll admit it's better. Went from two stars to three. Would I recommend it? If you're planning on going to Burger King, yes. Otherwise no. I may come back in another year or so if it's Sunday and I'm in a hurry. read more

the old manly looking lady with no edges was very rude on the speaker! she needs to learn some customer service. Made our experience very unpleasant. read more

If you want a nasty burger this place is for you. Five star joint. The number 2 is a little small so I would recommend the number 1 if you are a real man. I can't emphasize just how nasty this burger is. The premier restaurant in Ruston. read more

The only place I know of that has a double meat patty before a single meat patty on the menu, this semi-historic burger joint was here when my parents went to college and is great if you have a very empty stomach and love onion rings. read more

If you want a ole timey cheese burger fries and shake...this is the place.

I love Griff's. When I found out there was one in Ruston, every time I was stressed out over school... to Griff's I'd go! Only about a 10 minute drive... read more

Griff's is a Ruston Icon. They have been in business in the same location for over 40 years. The burgers are excellent and the prices don't break the bank. If you want a good burger, Griff's is a great choice. read more

Ruston's hidden gem. The true "greasy spoon". It's "hidden" because it's on the south side of town next to the campus of La Tech. Great burgers and shakes. Can take a while during lunch rush hour. Requirement that you eat here at least once while you live in Ruston. read more

Many size choices to fit any budget or appetite. My double cheeseburger was nicely seasoned, hot, and juicy. Nice soft bun, too. The chocolate shake was yummy. The fries piping hot and tasty. Service was friendly, fast, and accurate. Prices reasonable. 5 stars for what it is, in the burger category. read more

Complete let down. Service was beyond bad with employees staring at you like they can't understand what you mean when you have to inform them sweet tea is not pink (apparently sweet tea sounds like pink lemonade when you really don't care) and could they please get you a new glass. The floors are slick with grease and the tables were sticky. If you have to get a Griff's burger wait until you are going to Shreveport because this one gives Griff's a bad name. read more
