I used to go here all the time as a kid. I can still taste the burger and the breakfast biscuits. Haven't lived in Oxford in a long time, but it's a spot I go back to when I come back home. read more

Easily among the top 5 smash burgers I've experienced. Top 3 maybe. No frills. Affordable. Understated dining room atmosphere. Food came quick and hot. I'll be back, Lord willing. read more

Enjoyed a great lunch at this family owned spot popular with locals. The burger was a highlight, and definitely one of the best I've had. BBQ sandwich was also great, with multiple sauces to choose from. Highly recommend and great value. read more

I moved to Oxford from Los Angeles for college before leaving in 2019 after graduation. In-N-Out was always my favorite burger growing up. Five Guys is great but expensive, and Handy Andy is as good or better and way cheaper. If you were to open a Handy Andy near me directly next to an In-N-Out and a Five Guys and made the prices the same for all three , I would eat Handy Andy's burgers 9/10 times. Their bacon cheese burger is the best I've ever had, and I think about it monthly since I left years ago. If you're in the area, go here. You won't regret it. read more

Very cool diner/bbq station. Feels like you are stepping back in time. No frills, just good food. Cheeseburgers were great. We did a double, very good size patties. Tater tots, fries and banana pudding were all solid choices. Prices were reasonable, we will definitely be back again!! read more

A couple of friends recommended for me to come to Handy Andy for lunch and try their burgers and last week I did. It's located on North Lamar just past the Beacon and is a real hole in the wall type of restaurant. The restaurant shows on its outdoor sign that they serve burgers and bbq. Parking is alongside the building and good luck if they are busy which they usually are. I arrived on Friday at about 11:30 a.m. and it got really busy shortly after that. When you walk inside you realize the owners must be all about the food because they surely aren't into interior decorating! That's okay because Handy Andy's has become somewhat of a famous eatery for locals and students who are in the know. I ordered a double burger dressed and with no cheese and added a side dish of bqq beans. With a soft drink and tax my bill was $13.48. Very reasonable. The cashier told me that their fries were frozen out of the bag type but their beans were homemade. My food arrived about 10 minutes after ordering. I started with a couple of spoonfuls of the beans and oh my, my were they good. They had a rich and robust flavor to them. My double burger (2 quarter-pound hand formed patties) was delicious. Plenty of nice tasting beef on a good bun. It was a solid burger. I'm not sure how much bbq this restaurant serves or its quality but I can tell you the their hamburgers and beans are well worth the trip here. I can see why this place has become so popular. I want to return. read more

Hamburger is the best perfect as always!! Everything on it!! The baked beans are the best in town!! Price is great too!!

One of the best burgers I've ever had! Next time I'm trying the Andy Dog. I wish we had one in Utah.

This was our first time to Handy Andy's and it was excellent! They make a great smash burger. I can understand why people wait to eat at Handy Andy. The building is nothing to look at, but I'm much more concerned about great food and that's what they offer. read more

As an Oxford local this is not the first time dining at this establishment and is a must try for anyone passing though. Came here with my buddy Harrison,great guy, we both decided double cheeseburgers with an order of fries.Even with the lunch time rush (about 11:30) the burgers came out in about 10 minutes. The price was 12 dollars which for me is absolutely reasonable and worth the price as the burgers were delicious and were seasoned to perfection. Classic diner vibes with a phenomenal atmosphere will be back. read more

Excellent little burger spot in Oxford! Great grilled hot dogs and tater tots! We tried many different menus items and they were all yummy!

First time in today. We now have another option for great food whenever we visit Oxford. Previously it was always Ajax. As of now this is the best burger I have had in the state. We will stop back in soon. read more

A true treasured local hole in the wall. Tonight we had the best cheeseburger I've had in a very long time. Simple and delicious. We also had the pulled pork sandwich and the sauce has to be the best I've ever had. Not too spiced. Not too vinegary. Just very flavorful and tasty. Peach and apple hand pies were a touch soggy but we ate very crumb. Fries were meh. If they had crispy hand cut fries I'd never eat anywhere else. Delicious. And excellent polite service. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wonderfully tasty and juicy double burger $6.50. Really good chop steak sandwich $8, even better with BBQ sauce . Steak fries are fresh and crispy. Extremely friendly and fast. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend. read more

great burgers at a great price. If you want a really good burger at half the price of other restaurants with the same quality go to Handy Andy's read more

We love Handy Andy! Hamburgers are the kind that hang off the bun, good bbq, and the smoked ham and turkey are very tasty. The fries are fat - not quite a potato log, but close. My husband recommends the beans. If you want good food but don't mind a lack of interest in the decor, Handy Andy is a great spot!! read more

Hands down this is the best burger in Oxford .. Hand made Pattie's fresh ingredients .. read more

Amazing barbecue! Service was great, and the vibe was that of an old American diner. Not the most upscale place, but it is the tastiest.

You would never know it from looking at the place except for the fact that it's always packed, but this place probably has the best BBQ in town. Especially for the money. I've basically sampled their entire menu and have never been disappointed. read more

Handy Andy has great BBQ sandwiches and GREAT SERVICE! Jack, Russo and Mack were super friendly. Thank you all the way from San Diego.We'll be back for Banana Pudding one day. read more

Burgers! This is a no frills BBQ place with a fairly limited menu. We went in looking for ribs but they had been so busy that they didn't have time to make any. We settled for a burger, and tried some pulled pork and smoked turkey with coleslaw and baked beans. The pulled pork and smoked turkey were unremarkable, but the burger was amazing with a lovely char. We loved the coleslaw and baked beans too. This is a great value option for dinner! read more

Just a down down home classic. Nothing fancy at here but the food is great. Atmosphere: basic and simple, usually a crowd, takes you back a little in time Service: walk up and order, can take a little time as it's made fresh and lots of people usually Food: burgers are just perfect, they are flat top, just a little crispy but not burnt at all with cheese on it they melt in your mouth. If I have one knock on this place it's the fries, they are just 'ok' but others may like them, just my opinion, tots are excellent tho read more

Food is always excellent. Everybody is very hospitable and you'll most likely run into literally everyone you know. It's always a chill experience. read more

Real burgers with real ingredients. You order then sit down with a number. When your number is called, you go get it. The tots are perfect!

Food is good but terrible customer service. They have never once answered the phone during anytime of the day or week, and I've lived in oxford for 6 years. It's ridiculous!! One of the workers told me that they unplug the phone if it starts to get even a little busy. If you want okay food and an extremely inconvenient experience then this is the place for you! Don't recommend. Not at all a surprise that so many people don't even know what or where it is. It's 2023, time to evolve people. read more

Tried to order the chef salad, but out of all salads. Then ordered the "chicken" sandwich. It was a frozen, coated processed "chicken" patty....inedible. read more

Stopped in here tonight based on yelp reviews. We are from Los Angeles where there is a pretty big burger culture. My husband claims this is the best burger he's ever had. The tater tots were just ok wouldn't order those again. We loved the "hole in the wall" feel here. Would highly recommend. We dined in to get the full experience. Staff was friendly and service was quick. read more

This restaurant is an example of why more health inspections are needed. I've been in bait shops cleaners. While waiting on my order, I witnessed several tables of patrons who finished and left. With new patrons coming in sitting at tables that were never cleaned after last people left. The walls, floors, doors and entrance to bathrooms are filthy. It is a shame this place can't do any better. They have great reviews on their food, but I won't go back. If dining area is this nasty I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. My previous high rating of Handy Andy was a wonderful hamburger. It was delivered to me my my brother so I Did not see the interior of the restaurant at that time. read more

This is one of those local places that "you have to try." It doesn't look like much from the outside but the burgers are delish!

This was our first visit to Handy Andy's in a couple of years and it was as good as ever. They now have a digital menu board which is a nice upgrade. They have some booths closed off due to Covid and an employee filling fountain drinks as opposed to self serve. The double cheeseburger is as good as you will get anywhere. The flavor pops and you feel like you would like to eat a few of these, but they are too filling! Their banana pudding is an outstanding delicacy and not to be missed!! read more

Great food and good service. The burger and tater tots were both wonderful. It was a bit tight in a wheelchair and the ramp is a little steep. Definitely worth visiting. read more

Best burger in town by far. A landmark location in Oxford. The BBQ is also quite good

If you like a good, old fashioned, country store style burger, then this is THE place to go. I could eat Handy Andy several times a week. I just don't think my hips would agree to that many double cheeseburgers! It's kind of a hole in the wall, but that's what makes it so good! The BBQ is also good. read more

I'm all in with Handy Andy. Old time spot that brings back great memories of some of my home town spots. One of the best burgers I've had. My only wish would be for slaw more to my liking but can't have everything in life. read more

Handy Andy - Regular cheeseburger and tater tots - Barbeque Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Delicious cheeseburger and tater tots! Nothing fancy about this place but great food! Counter service, friendly and fast.

Hand(y Andy)s down favorite burger I've ever had. A few cities later and I still have yet to find a joint that slops together a fat, greasy, cheeburg that absolutely melts like Handy Andy's, and it's honestly one of the main reasons I look forward to coming home. Think Five Guys but better and like half the price. Instant and eternal classic. Now I have friends who think the burgers have gotten a bit worse over the years, but it's gucci we're not friends anymore. We do agree however that the bbq is still on point. One of the best parts about this place is the atmosphere -- it's basically the definition of a hole in the wall joint. Family-owned and operated, and although they apparently have a regular schedule, when I'm back in Oxford (usually around holiday szn) it feels like they just open whenever they're in the mood (which is about 50% of the time I want it unfortunately), and the thing is they can totally afford to do that. It's a hometown classic, and pretty much every time I go I see someone from high school... so you know, if you're into that sort of thing. Bottom line: if you're not in Oxford long and/or you're in the mood for a burger that will ruin you forever for other burgers... this is your spot. read more
