I had the burger of the month, The Cowboy, it was delicious...bacon, fried onions, fresh jalapeños and a light amount of bbq sauce. The truffle fries were great but next time I'll order them without chimichurri sauce as I thought it took away from the flavor of the truffle. My server Hannah was great...super friendly. A+ service. Overall, I was pleased and will be back.
Delicious American Burger with extra patty + fries was amazing! Three brisket tacos - daily special was mouth watering and the best tasting meal in a long while. Will be back this week... Highly recommend!!!
Visited on a Friday around 3:30 in the afternoon, and it was a very easy, low-traffic time. Normally it seems always packed, and out the door. I had the Belvis Burger: smash grind, pork belly, pimento, jerky sauce, creole mustard, on a ciabatta bun. It was outstanding. Inside, the restaurant was clean, warm and inviting. There were choices of table, high-top, or bar seating. The service was on par with the entire, positive experience.
WoW, very unique atmosphere, and a local gem for sure. I was in town for a truck show and was told I had to come check this place out. This is a no thrills, nothing fancy, burger joint with a flare for art of creating a whimsical burger. Their grinds are truly unique, and the food was phenomenal. I only ordered a burger, no side, since I was short on time. I did get to try a few of buddies fries and they were very good as well. I'm already planning another trip to the area so I can come back again. I Dat at the bar and had great service. Yes, I would highly recommend them.
I really don't get what the big deal is. Wait for food was over 30 minutes. The country's best burger was overly greasy and at times tasted like fish. Like cross flavors on the grill. The cajun Cole slaw tasted like store bought slaw with gumbo file. Maybe everything taste better with beer... they had a good variety.
I discovered this place after learning that Kermit's Outlaw Kitchen closed a couple of years ago and something I found online said that the same owners had Neon Pig. I pass through Tupelo once every year or two and while i was very sad that Kermit's had closed, I had high hopes for Neon Pig. I met a friend here for lunch and we arrived a few minutes before 11:00 am, their opening time. We were 2 of 8-10 others who were waiting on the doors to open, so I took that as a good sign. It's in a shopping center type building, which surprised me a little. I guess I was picturing the old building that Kermit's was in. When you enter, you seat yourself and I noticed some of the regulars went ahead and fixed their drink from the self-serve fountain drink machine. Our server was friendly and helpful and gave us a couple of minutes to pick out what we wanted and told us to feel free to get our drinks in the meantime. I went with the Famous Smash Burger with the pickled onions on the side and a bag of Zapp's Chips (my favorite!). I initially asked for no onions but she said they're really good and done in house, so she suggested I get them on the side, so I did. They were ok - I don't care for the strong onion taste that hangs with you for hours and these didn't seem to be quite like raw onions, but were still a little stout. I only ate one small ring. The burger was fine and I ate most of it. The menu claims "voted best burger in America!", but I definitely wouldn't take it that far. I kept tasting something sweet and couldn't place it. I usually don't like sweet and savory together: for example, I hate sweet pickles. I just looked it up on Google and I think what I was tasing was the hoisin sauce. (honestly never heard of this before until now) I think if I got this burger again, I would leave off that sauce. My friend got the tacos, which I think was a daily special. I don't remember the name or anything in particular that she said about them, other than they were really spicy and very good. You pay the server at the table with the little portable paying thing (technical term, of course). One unique thing is that the food comes out on paper rather than plates and I asked when we left if we leave the trash on the table or no? She said leave it. I'm just passing this along because I never know what to do in those situations without asking. It was a good lunch and I'd definitely come back but probably try something other than the Smash Burger.
In Tupelo, MS there's a butcher shop/restaurant that is a "MUST DINE" if you are in the area. Neon Pig seems to incorporate the best of both worlds. You can actually pick something from the butcher case and they will cook it up for you! Sitting at the bar and watching the Grill Master operate I was thinking a burger, but when told about the lunch special I knew I had to try it. Three braised beef tacos with curry slaw, chow chow, pickled onions, quick pickles, their homemade "comeback sauce", and Hoisin sauce. I was in awe watching them create this dish and when it was presented I couldn't wait to dig in. I thought there was a lot going on here...but it will blow you away how great all of the flavors and textures work together. First time I've had a braised beef taco like this...and I will never forget it. The fries are freshly made and I loved how they were thick with a crispy exterior and fluffy inside. Overall great bar selection for beers, the place is comfortable, and the folks working there were very friendly. No doubt I will come back and have them cook me up a steak from the butcher's case. Love local spots like this serving up great food and taking care of their customers!!!
I heard that this place won The Best Burger in America by Thrillist but I didn't realize it was for 2015. As soon as I walked in I was warmly welcomed and given a menu , there were a few people dining but not too many, it was still early. The restaurant is also a place where you can purchase fresh meat, like a mini butter shop. The meat looked really good, the next time I'm in town and need some meat I'll give them a try! They also had T-Shirts for you to buy to remember your visit. It was a very casual, laidback environment and I enjoyed it. I ordered the Famous Smash Burger to see how good it was. Could it be the best burger I've had? It's served on a Ciabatta Bun with Benton's Bacon Bits, Cheddar, Quick Pickles, Pickled Onions, Hoisin and Comeback Sauce. I got it to go. It looked and smelled good, after my first bite all I could taste were the Quick Pickles. I had way too many, once I removed them it tasted a lot better. I also feel it was a tad overcooked a little dry. I should have specified how I wanted it cooked. It was a good burger, Not the Best but I would definitely go back and try some other things on the menu. I would give it 3.5 Stars. Keep up the good work!
We were traveling through Tupelo as we were driving down the Natchez Trace Parkway. The Neon Pig had great reviews and was easily accessed from the Natchez Trace. Wow! We were not disappointed. We arrived just after the lunch rush and were greeted immediately upon walking in the door. Since we missed the rush, we were told to sit wherever we wanted. The waitstaff was very friendly and explained to us how all their meat was ground on site and was always fresh. Some of the burgers are a mix of beef and pork. Both of the burgers we ordered were absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the Smash Burger and I ordered the Project Pat-ty Melt. Both were wonderful and packed with flavor. We cut the burgers in half and shared with each other. I'm glad we did because the burgers were both good but both were very different. The Smash burger uses the "smash grind" which consists of the filet, ribeye, sirloin, NY strip, and bacon. It also had pickled onions. I think the pickles were homemade as well. Very very good burger. The patty melt comes with the secret meatball grind with pepper jack cheese and caramelized onions on an inverted bun (sorta like Texas Toast). Bottom line - Absolutely a wonderful burger. An easy five-star review. This is a must-try if you are traveling the Natchez Trace and need to grab a bite. Definitely worth the visit. Bon appétit appétit, y'all.
The Neon Pig is pretty much the total package if you are looking for a great burger and fries in Tupelo, Mississippi. The Neon Pig has a cool, hip ambiance and vibe. Our server was absolutely amazing and the smash burger was incredible and my loaded fries were probably the best fries that I ever had. Yes, these might be the best fries that I ever had. The prices are decent enough, especially when considering the quality of the food. I can't think of one negative about our experience at the Neon Pig. This place is truly amazing. If you find yourself in Tupelo, Mississippi, you have to check out the Neon Pig. It is that good. And do not miss out on the fries.
First timers, we walked in the door and the bar tender was telling us something but we couldn't hear over the music. He pointed, so we walked to the other side. We got there around two pm, so it wasn't very busy. The server came to us right away and told us the specials and learning we hadn't been in before, suggested the smash burger, so we both ordered that and truffle fries. There is a soda bar and you get your own sodas. The food arrived quickly and hot on parchment paper. The burger was good, a little peppery for my taste but my husband really liked it. Truffle fries are awesome!

While in Tupelo for business I stopped in to try "the best burger in America ". What if kind was a pretty good burger but honestly I've had better. I found it to be overcooked and a little underwhelming. The "loaded fries" in the other hand were fantastic as was the service. If you're in the area it's worth giving a try. read more

Traveling from Tuscaloosa from Oxford and stumbled upon this gem. Although located in a strip center this place does not disappoint. The menu has quite a few options - burgers, sandwiches, entrees, etc.. As noted be other reviews, the staff recommended I give the "Belvis" a try. It was outstanding. Definitely in top echelon of burgers I have ever had. The meat and toppings are expertly matched up. The melty pimento cheese is quite the touch. I liked the seasoning so much I bought of bottle of it to take home. The service is really good. The ambiance is very casual. When in Tupelo, you should definitely check this place out. N*joy! read more

If you're in the Tupelo area Neon Pig is a must stop. A small little butcher shop with a special smash grind burger unlike anything you've ever tasted. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting, you can sit at the bar and watch your food being cooked or at a table. You will want to get here early, it fills up pretty quick. Being that I live over 400 miles away I wanted to buy some of the smash burger to bring home and share, the service for helping us get the meat prepared to getting ice for our cooler was amazing. If you're close to the area, try the smash grind, you will understand why it's received so many awards! read more

Service was pretty quick, had some of the best food I ever had. They even had spicy fries and they were pretty hot. Their sauces and I believe seasonings are all house made. Seemed like they stay pretty busy. It was a nice experience. A little noisy but it'll be like that in a busy place. read more
A burger joint and a butcher shop all in one. That combo just screams America and it is delicious. The smash burgers are fantastic...and very large! The two of us each got a different one and split it so we could try two different kinds. No fries or sides were needed, and the burgers were plenty big and filling. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Tupelo area. read more

We haven't been here in a bit, but we always stop in whenever we find ourselves in Tupelo. I am not a meat eater, but the tomato salad (sans bacon) and the fries always draw me back. I am very happy that they have gotten more help. read more

Our Smash burgers were scrumptious. The Mac Daddy was superb and the loaded fries had just the right amount of seasoning & parmesan cheese. The service was excellent and our server was amazing. The overall experience was top notch. We will be back again soon. Keep up the great work Neon Pig! read more
