Attractive Burgers and Fries: Burger Parlor Review
Update: On October 29, 2020, the owner of Burger Parlor pivoted the restaurant into a new concept called Jaxon's Scratch-Made Chix Tenders.
Friends and I are always on the look for good food from family-owned and independent restaurants. I had the opportunity to dine at Burger Parlor during a recent exclusive media event. The restaurant is located near the historic Orange Circle, steps away from shopping, churches, an antique mall and more. A gem of a spot for lunch and dinner. The restaurant features many local beers, an outdoor patio, and an attentive staff. A fun new spot to dine with friends or family.
Chef Joseph Mahon — The menu if burger focused, featuring such toppings as crushed avocado on the Kali burger, jalapeños on the Frito Burger, and blue cheese on the Danish burger. Many sharable items on the menu. Sharing a few different burgers or the vegetarian burger with friends is ideal here. The exclusive media event at Burger Parlor was in honor of the new Tostada Burger. A collaboration between Chef Mahon and Dexter Holland, singer for The Offspring and owner of Gringo Bandito.

“The first pop-up concept to go brick and mortar, Burger Parlor was inspired by chef and owner Joseph Mahon’s burger-focused events at Michelin star restaurant Bastide. Burger Parlor’s pop up was greeted with rave reviews and lines stretching out the door. Gringo Bandito was by Dexter Holland, singer for the multi-platinum punk rock band The Offspring, more as a hobby than a business. After several years and over a million bottles later, Gringo Bandito hot sauce has garnered a worldwide audience and a loyal following.”
