Frostop — Restaurant in Picayune

At a glance:

Pros: Good food. Affordable price. Recently Renovated. Average-Generous portions. Family owned, and run with pride. Glass Walls in the Kitchen so you can watch the food work.

Cons: Small bathrooms. Lack of seating during peak hours. No Drive Through. (Pickup window out front instead) Cash only.

In depth: Each meal is hand made in front of you, with a pickup window out front (not drive through mind you), or the enclosed air conditioned dining area off to the side both having a large glass wall so you can see everything that goes on in the kitchen.

Every bun is hand grilled with a light touch of butter, the in house chilly is rather delicious, albeit messy, and the onion rings are battered with what tastes almost like ice-cream.

Speaking of ice cream, their shakes are truly a must have! The flavors are vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate. I suggest strawberry personally.

This small town burger joint has been in business since the 50's and, to my knowing, has remained in the family since inception so all of the workers are either family or friends and take great pride in giving you the best service for your dollar in a jiffy.

When I was working construction, my family and co-workers would stop by here every few days, costing a little more than the "Big M" or "King Burger" they still don't break the bank. Three,.... 'noticeably large', hard working, men can eat here for between 15-20$ in total.

The only real Cons about this place are the somewhat loud or sometimes rowdy patrons, and for the truly lazy, the lack of drive through and lack of payment options.

All in all, if given the choice i'd eat here rather than any other burger place in town. After all, they have to be doing something right to compete with the 7+ big name, franchise burger places in this town.

My personal favorite order: A Dressed, double lot'o burger with chilly and cheese. Onion rings. And...

The staff was very friendly & Well mannered, helpful to their menu choices. THE HOT DOG ON FRECH BREAD, WITH CHILLI, ONIONS, HIT OF MUSTARD WAS AWESOME, ALONG WITH THE DRESSED ROAST BEEF PO BOY WAS STUFFED WITH MEAT AND ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. THE PRICES ARE FAIR & REASONABLE AND ORDER IS MADE TO WAIT, BUT WELL WORTH YOUR TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN HERE A LONG TIME AND HAS A LUNCH TIME FOLLOWING, NEAR THE PEAK HOURS 11AM TO AFTER 1PM. THERE IS NO MORE DRIVE UP WINDOW , ONLY THE ORDER WALK UP WINDOW.There is a dinning area, but very crowded for lunch time, with tight parking--pickup trucks to cars, a vast and mixed working crowd stopping In for l U nch perhaps. Well worth your visit next time in Picayune Ms. ** 1 Note of fans to The Frosttop they do Not have the iconic tasty Frostop Rootbeer, however they have local South Barques Rootbeer which is 2nd best!!..The staff is, professional, super accommodateing and gives friendly service with a smile. MAKES YOU FEEL AT HOME IN...

This place is the absolute best. Customer service and care is amazing. I have seen employees pay for someone that didn't have enough. Not just once either. The food is just good all American comfort food. I highly recommend the lot-o-burger dress and chilli. I would put their chilli on everything. It's the best and from what I was told, it's a family recipe. Here is the cherry on top. The prices! The wife, kiddo, and myself grabbed dinner last night as we often do on a really busy day. Wife had a roast beef sandwich, fries and drink, kiddo had a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake and I had the lot-o-burger with chilli, fries and drink. Now, this isn't McDonald's or Wendy's little burger they charge 3 or 4 bucks for. You actually get a meal. The total, under $20. Come on, this place is just...
