Let me start out by saying the burger was awesome. Dressed just right great quality meat. Steak fries were on point The reason for a 4 star is the cost $19 plus chance for a burger. Just hard to pay that much for a burger. Will go back to try the onion rings. They looked delicious. read more

Been going to the Slidell Lee's since o was a kid. I don't live in the area anymore but I was able to visit and Russell recognized me as a decades ago customer. Delicious. Best burger in the whole New Orleans area! read more

Lee's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

I believe this place is about to shut down. I pass there and the once packed parking lot is now empty. I took a chance though and stop for a burger. It was awful. The bun was cold like it was just taken out of the fridge. It wasn't warmed at all. The burger was mushy and not at all the quality this longtime classic joint is known for. So disappointing. read more

3.5 stars. This place fills a specific niche: basic, nostalgic, and local. The burgers are better than what you'd get at a fast food place, but they are simple burgers, more akin to the average home-griller's burger than something from a sit-down, dine-in restaurant. It's a local joint owned by a family with a culinary history in Louisiana, and feels like a call back to the storied "good ol' days." Prices aren't cheap, but aren't bad. The pies are good, but bought pre-made from a large corporation. There is a drive-thru, and also a covered outdoor dining area with reliable shade. Overall a decent pick if you want to support local and/or get a very un-fussy burger. read more

Lee's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

This restaurant has been slinging burgers since 1901. It has a small private lot. They also have an outdoor patio and indoor dining. If you ordered ahead and did not want to come in then you can pick you food up at their drive thru window. They have a small menu. I went with the cheese burger and fries. It did not take long to get my food, but it felt luke warm. The cheese on the burger was shredded cheese and not sliced. The food was ok. On a positive note, the staff there is very friendly and welcoming. It is a nice local spot. They made me fell like a regular. Anyway, You purchase your food and drinks from the counter and then they bring it out to you. The server then brings you condiments and refills. They also clear your table when you are done. So feel free to get up and walk out after you meal. Tips for the servers are appreciated. This is a nice spot. A 3.5 star rating would be more accurate. I wish that I liked the food a bit better though. They also seem to be known for their pies. I will definitely have to check them out if I make it back here. read more

Ate here today, Sunday at lunch. Ordered cheeseburgers and onion rings. Burgers were just ok. Pretty much flavorless. Buns were cold. Onion rings were great. Large order was too much for 2. Check was $30! Really? With 2 drinks! No atmosphere but service was good. read more

I'm sorry to say this was not the experience I had before. The fish plate was very disappointing. I wish my sense of smell and taste didn't connect so well because the fish tasted like a fish tank would smell. Only the batter had flavor but the actual fish was bland. This was definitely not worth the money we paid.... But my sweet tea was okay ‍ read more

Hands down best burger around Don't waste your time or money anyplace else. I recommend this place to everyone read more

Great burger!!! Great service!!! Really like the daily specials usually feed lots of of people for decent price. read more

FABULOUS!!! They have the best burgers!! The price and the amount of food is unbelievable.. highly recommended read more

Food is okay. Sometimes good, then sometimes really bad. They seem to be going through employees, though. Every time I come here, there are new faces. That must account for the inconsistent food quality. read more

Always great always hot freshly cooked and yummy . This is N'Orleans Style lol Great place gotta try great burgers read more

Do not go. Something was very wrong, and the food was inedible. I worried all night if I was going to get sick. Owner's (I think he was owner) daughter was very sweet but he helped us and could not get our order straight. I don't like writing bad reviews but I felt I had to do so. I read some good reviews before I went and want to save someone from the same experience. I hope he can turn the place around. So sad. read more

Probably one notch below McDonald's and I loathe McDonalds. 1st visit was not long after moving to Covington, and before the state went on Covid lock down in 2020. Went through drive through and my burger was wrong. Had lettuce on it when I ordered no lettuce. I ordered extra mayo + ketchup and got no mayo. Swore I wouldn't waste my $$ there ever again. Fast forward to Spring 2021 and I needed to pick up lunch on the way home from an appointment and really wanted a burger. So, yep - I tried Lee's again. I ordered double meat, cheese, extra mayo, ketchup, and onion. For some reason, the burger had lettuce on it. Didn't have extra mayo. And the patties were maybe someone's well worn shoe sole? Anyway - save your $$ and hit up BK or McDonald's. read more

I grew up eating at Lee's as a kid growing up in Slidell. It's still amazing, although the nostalgia factor is strong for me. My favorite is a Lee's burger with just chili, cheese, and the grilled onions. Just delicious. Anytime I am back this way from where I live now, I always stop in. Definitely a hole in the wall vibe, but the wait staff are always so, so friendly. read more

Their customer service is next tier and their food is even better. Definitely will revisit.

Order cheeseburger and small onion rings. They must used the cheapest ground meat. Burger was dry and crumbly & bun was cold like it was taken straight out of refrigerator. Onion rings was fried in old grease tasted burnt. I expect more from a business that claim to have been in business as long as they states. read more

Our Habitat for Humanity group ordered a wide variety of food and we were not disappointed. The owner and staff are so friendly and made our orders to go as quickly as possible. Found out we were going to a Mardi Grad parade and gave us lots of pointers. read more

Messed up my To go order. Burger was good, plenty of fries in order, no drinks received but were paid for. Very pricey for what it is though, so a VERY mixed bag. read more

After a very long wait for the food, both orders of onion rings weren't even warm once we got them. Burger wasn't completely done, it was crumbly, and the grilled onions were basically raw. Lee's used to be fantastic..definitely not anymore..not the same at all. read more

Awesome burgers! They taste homemade, like my mom used to make. The fries were pretty basic and desperately needed salt, but I'd come back for the burgers alone. Worth a try, for sure! read more

The Resturant is Dirty. Entry needs painting and floor is in need of repairs. The table and items on it were sticky to touch. All the tables were also sticky as if wiped with a oily cloth. Use napkins to hold everything on the table. Silverware is on a request item. The burger is loaded with not quite cooked onions and the fry's were like mashed potato fries. Order taker was very friendly and calls you baby. It's been a long time since I was called baby. The meat was OK and juicy. The lunch came with a small apple fried pie that I discarded. Sorry to say they have gone down, down, down over time. Will I ever return? No. Sorry to say I can not recommend this local hamburger place. Bun Hamburger. read more

Very good hamburgers, quick service, and some of the nicest people around. Definitely try this place out! read more

Lee's Hamburgers - a burger and onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Pretty good hamburgers here at Lee's. Their sign says they have been selling burgers since 1901. That's pretty amazing. This is not a fancy place by any means and they won't be winning any contests for cleanest restaurant. This is another one where you walk in, view the menu on the wall, order at the counter and then sit down. They do have pretty good food. On my visit I had a hamburger, chili cheese fries, apple pie and a drink. The burgers are pretty thick and they put the onions inside of the pattie. The chili cheese fries are OK. The fries are the thick steak fries so if you like those you will be happy. They come with a clump of cheese and then chili poured over them so part of the cheese doesn't get melted. The apple pies are OK. $12.61 for the meal. I had been told that they charge for refills, but I didn't get charged so they must have changed that. Sam was my waitress. She was super nice and checked on me a few times. I'll be back to see what else they have. read more

Lee's Hamburgers - Burger, chili cheese fries and apple pie. - Burgers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Excellent hamburgers and the best chili cheese fries a round they also have special alot

Delicious hamburger cooked perfect. Loaded with cheese and onions. Family atmosphere with the saints game on.

We were looking for a good burger, and we found it here. My husband and I got the 2 burger special (includes fries/onion rings, drinks and 2 apple pies) and we got the kids jr burgers. The jr burgers were a perfect size for my kids and they were only $1.50/burger. The fries were great, and the onionrings were crunchy but needed some type of seasoning or salt on them. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our order came out quickly. If we come back through, we will be by for another burger. read more

Lee's Hamburgers - Burger, with some fries and onionrings (not the entire order, sides are a good portion to share) - Burgers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

What a gem in Slidell. Was just driving through Slidell and saw the place packed. I had to try it as it looks like a super cool family run business that has been a staple in Slidell. The hamburger was great! I got the works...and the cheese and grilled onions is a must! They even have a drive thru. The apple pie was also a great sweet treat. read more

Amazing find. Burgers were great along with the peach pies and onion rings. You get a family welcome when you enter and great service from a wonderful staff the entire time you're there. Will come back when we're in the area. read more

We bought a hamburger tonight. It was ten dollars and it was cold and tasted like garbage! We will never go back or recommend them.

So I have a slight addiction to snowballs. No problem in New Orleans area right .....I was wrong. Overpriced and undersyruped. Won't be going here again. I would like to say if you are looking for a good snowball in Slidell head to the little snowball stand across from Sonic on Gause. Good prices and they've yet to let me down on snowballs. read more

Love Lee's burgers. Easily the best burgers in Slidell. The drive through is a plus as well.

The best Turkey burger I've ever had. I get one as soon as I check into my hotel and settle down.

"Best burgers in Slidell" LMAO! Go to McDonald's.. hell, go to Burger King! Anywhere BUT this place. It will give you the runs from a burger that has no flavor besides grease. Please bro, i'm warning you! DO NOT EAT THIS FOOD read more

definitely a local staple and a special place in my heart! it used to be on highway 11 in Slidell when I was a kid and they have since moved to 190 but the food is just as good as it was back then. the owner is a sweetheart, if he's not behind the grill he's making his way around the restaurant talking to each table. the girls at the front counter deserve their flowers too it def gives you a down home feeling, you see your food being cooked in front of you & it's delicious. if for some reason you HAVEN'T had Lee's i would def recommend bc you won't regret it ! read more

I ordered the 1/2lb dressed burger with grilled onions, jalapenos, and mushrooms. I like how they grill the onions into the burger and the meat is juicy and tender. Lacked any cohesive flavor so I added ranch on the burger which made it better. The steak fries were great. Total I paid was $15.74 but because I used credit I was charged an additional .53 cents that I wasn't told about I just noticed it on the receipt. I wouldn't have minded had they told me, not a big deal just wanted to notate it. I thought 16 bucks was kind of steep for a burger, small fries and a drink but the burger was huge so I guess it balances out. read more

Local joint, hand ground chuck burger can't go wrong. Large portions and very nice folks, will hit it again.

So the only reason for 2 Stars verses 1 Star is because the burgers and fries are super good. Wife & I went to Lee's on 10/19/29 after over 15 years as we moved out of the state, having just returned about a month ago. With us was my wife's 4 pound blind Yorkshire Terrier, who by the way carry's with him his paperwork from her doctor listing him as her emotional support dog. There was only 1 other gentleman dining inside at the time. We've dined out about 45-60 times within the last 30-45 days as we were waiting for our refrigerator to arrive and have never been questioned or "kicked out" of any restaurant, especially a burger joint. As we were walking into Lee's we noticed a gentleman who appeared to be the chef due to his chef's jacket and attire, accompanied by a dark haired woman who appeared to be several months pregnant. My wife was holding her dog in the satchel over her neck. The woman gave us this look of disgust, and I asked my wife if she noticed that wondering what we did. We walked inside an right after she ordered, my wife got a table. As I finished ordering and paying, I walked over to meet my wife. At the same time the gentleman (chef) who we noticed as we walked inside, approached my wife and in a very reluctant voice said, "I'm sorry we don't allow dogs in the restaurant." At the same time I told my wife, "show him your documentation" as the chef said, "I'm sorry there's nothing I can do about it." I felt like someone was watching us and looked over my shoulder. The woman who initially gave us the sneer as we walked inside was sitting right across from us where the chef was sitting. We moved outside as we had already ordered. When our order was brought to us the we were told that the gentleman was the General Manager and the woman, who doesn't even work there, was the GM's wife and daughter of the owner. It was also mentioned that is "just the way she is." I told my wife that this woman was just "throwing her authority around" because she could being the owner's daughter. We sat and ate and at one time the woman walked out of the restaurant to go to her car giving us the "the stink eye" in her way out and way back inside the restaurant. It baffles me that this happened as it was apparent the GM did this ONLY because his wife told him to do. Both ladies at the counter who took our order commented on how cute my wife's dog was. Secondly, I looked for a sign that said "No Animals Permitted Except for Service Animals" but I wasn't able to locate one that was posted. To me it sounds like she was just "throwing around her power" because she could and unfortunately we will not be returning in the future. Lastly, I mentioned to one of the ladies working there that the website stated "no dining in" and nearly caused us not to go there. Given all of the COVID-19 restrictions, correcting their website would result in more business. Now I wish I would have never made that comment. read more
