Project Lounge seriously nailed it. The cheeseburgers are next-level--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right with that classic, no-frills flavor that reminds you why a good burger doesn't need to be complicated. Every bite hits. Fresh toppings, melted cheese, and a bun that actually holds up... it's the kind of burger you think about after you leave. And the drinks? Equally on point. Strong, smooth, and balanced--nothing watered down, nothing rushed. Whether you're grabbing a cold beer or a mixed drink, they know exactly what they're doing behind the bar. Laid-back atmosphere, good vibes, great food, and solid drinks--Project Lounge is one of those spots that keeps you coming back. If you're in Biloxi and craving a real cheeseburger and a proper drink, this place is a must. read more

Hands down the best burger anywhere!!! The only things wrong are not about the food or the service. It's how loud it can get when crowded. Also people are allowed to smoke. The ventilation system is pretty good but can't capture all of it. But GO FIR THE BURGER! The beer is cold too! read more

This is absolutely a dive bar and it is glorious. This is not only the best cheeseburger in Biloxi. It is the best cheeseburger I ever had. The bartender was super friendly and kind. As another reviewer said she was patient with a first timer. I ordered a double for my wife and she told me the pours were heavy and to try a single. She was absolutely correct. You do not need to order a double here. The bloody Mary was excellent! They cooked the burgers and steak right in the bar and it's very cool to be able to watch them. We will definitely return here for the amazing burger and great vibes. read more

You ever hear "looks can be deceiving?" This place is the definition. This is home to the best burger in Biloxi, maybe the state of MS or even the US. No fries needed just a bag of chips, your drink of choice and smoke filled air for the ambience. You won't regret it. I'm from DC and I still talk about this burger read more

Whenever I visit a new place, I always like to ask what local's like and all arrows pointed to this spot. It definitely didn't disappoint as it's filled with a great bar energy in its dimly lit environment. It is also open really late and if you want to keep the party going or call it a night after, this is your spot. The service was great as we sat at the bar and was greeted by one of the sister owners I believe. We came here specifically for their well known burgers but we also had drinks while we waited. She was super nice as us non locals stick out like sore thumbs. It was definitely a great memory that I unforgettably forgot due to the intoxication level we were at this point. But I do remember the burgers were really amazing that we even decided to buy a shirt to commemorate our visit there. read more

While it may look and feel like a dive bar; it's so much more. Friendly servers are patient with out-of-towners. It's dark and cozy with a colorful crew of customers. Delicious food at a great value! I just ate a Tuna Steak appetizer for $13! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. The jukebox is jumping and they have TouchTunes! Bring your cash or they have an ATM on site. First visit to biloxi and when I return I know one of my first stops! read more

Great pours, AMAZING BURGERS, and a super chill vibe! Terrific service Definitely recommend

Yep! It's a dive bar. Friendly bartenders and friendly clientele. Good drinks. Great burger. Do your stomach and your brain a favor and take them to The Project Lounge. read more

I have been enjoying the "infamous" ribeye steak sandwich for 50 years. From when Mrs. Martha. Worked at the Project Lounge on the beach (hurricane Katrina took it away) now I frequent the new location on Iberville Drive. Still enjoying that awesome steak sandwich & the best cheeseburger I have ever eaten. I definitely recommend The Project to anybody looking for a good place to geaux to get some awesome food. read more

Any time I see a banner in an ad for a food establishment that states, "Rated number one on the Biloxi Coast in 2024 for best burger," my curiosity is piqued to a maximum level. Such is the case with the Project Lounge bar and grill. An establishment that is predominantly a lounge/sports bar, the "to go" orders at lunch keeps the grill cook (Elijah) busy for a significant period of time. The methods used in grilling and preparing the orders left this retired registered nurse completely at ease concerning proper food handling. I visited the Project Lounge during lunch to experience the number one rated burger last year. Wow! Best burger EVER! The ground beef was a select cut of ground sirloin steak rich in flavor and juices. The grill cook grilled the burger to a perfect medium well degree of doneness, per my request. The burger was topped with cheddar cheese, as requested. The hamburger bun was grilled slightly with just enough butter to enhance the flavors of the burger. Garnished with tomato, lettuce, onion and a dill pickle spear on the side. A masterpiece of flavor and freshness! The bartender (Jadyn), was a friendly young woman who has a knack for the gift of gab, while keeping a keen eye out for the evidence of an unmet culinary need from the patrons. The sign above the bar states, "In God we trust. All others pay cash." Note this sign is not for amusement purposes. Cash only policy is enforced, with an ATM machine located at the back of the establishment for convenience. The grill offers a full menu of various burgers, grilled meat entrees, and other popular lunch selections. The ambiance is dark and smokey, as smoking is allowed. The music is eclectic, ranging from progressive country to the rock hits of the seventies, eighties and nineties and beyond. The hours of operation are from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m., every day of the week. Project Lounge is a dog friendly establishment with tolerance for emotional support animals (dogs) on a leash. All in all, a great dining experience reminiscent of neighborhood watering holes of yesteryear. I wholeheartedly vote for the Project Lounge to retain their title of Best Burgers for 2025 as well! read more

Friendly and tasty Was told that this was a good place and I certainly agree! I will be back.

It's a dive bar, plain and simple. We didn't eat, but the drinks were very well poured. If you like dive bars, you'll love this place. read more

Don't let this place fool you. Best hamburger in Biloxi hands down. Service is top notch and the people are friendly. You won't be disappointed. The ribeye sandwich is great as well. read more

I'm not a huge burger eater, but when I want a burger The Project Lounge is my go-to. They cook the burger to order and to desired temperature. The patties are well seasoned. The toppings are always fresh. I especially love their bacon. It's not in strips, but real chopped up bacon, so there is bacon in every single bite. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The prices are reasonable. They have a burger lunch special, $9 for a burger and soda. This is a dive bar, so it is not kid appropriate and it's dark and smoky (it doesn't bother me). So if this kind of stuff bothers you, call your order in and get it to go. They are cash only, but they have an ATM in the back. On game Sunday they have free snacks for you while you watch the Saints lose . I love this place. Come give it a try. read more

Hands down, the best burger in Biloxi! The lounge has its vibe. It's super dark and very cool!

Staying locally, we asked the clerk of the hotel where ( on Thanksgiving Day) we could go have a drink. He suggested The Project Lounge. It was literally minutes away. He described it as a "local hole in the wall". When we arrived, the building was very small. Our expectations were not very high. You could hear what sounded like rap music playing before we opened the door. We were hesitant as this is not our jam at all. The first thing we noticed was the lack of lights. The entire place is very dim. This did not bother us in the least, just surprising. It was kinda of calming and cool . Much to our liking, there were plenty of tables to sit at and a long bar that had several people sitting and laughing! The bartender greeted us immediately as we sat at the bar. This place turned out to be epic! People from all walks of life came and went in the two hours we were there. The food oh the food- it seems everyone came for their Thanksgiving because the gentleman cooking those burgers, tuna burgers and other delightful smelling items never stopped- well, only to make eye contact in a cool sorta smooth way! Our only complaint was the music. Too much rap for our liking. Even with the younger people that came in from the lock airbase, seems everyone starting moving and tapping their feet when dance music from the 80's and 90's came on. I wished smoking wasn't allowed. But , it would not keep me from visiting this local hotspot with their fantastic crew and amazing decor! Just lessen options on the rap! Oh and cash only! read more

I love this little dive bar. Definitely a hidden gem. I try to visit anytime I'm in town. Good steak sandwiches too!

Hidden spot off the beaten track to say the least, but well worth finding. First off, it's a dive. It's always pretty dark inside and forewarned, smoking is allowed, so it can get a little hazy inside. Aside from that, it's pretty close to perfect. The service is exceptional, with long term employees filling the bar position with great, reasonably priced drinks and quick response. The food, quite frankly, is amazing. The burger is usually the yearly winner of "best on the Coast" and the ribeye sandwich is fantastic. The seared tuna, which is actually sushi grade, is probably the best I've had anywhere. They keep things simple, but do it very, very well. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Think slinky dive bar but with good I really was wanting on someone to say "out of all the bars in Mississippi she picked this one " like some old detective novel but the devil in the blue dress never showed up but the food and drinks were pretty good 2 thumbs up read more

Had to come back here tonight after a long night in town with friends. If you come here there is only one thing to order. The hamburger! The hamburger!! Get the freaking burger! You heard me say get the burger right? If you like it medium then ask for medium well. They do cook them lesser then normal. But my gawd I have to say this is still my number one place on the Gulf Coast to get a hamburger. If you wanna prove me wrong please let me know. :) Note: I've never ordered it but I hear the steak sandwich is good too :) read more
