Jackson Jambalaya

Must be Jackson’s fault. Y’all think everything else is…

no one cares

Madison is lost.

But it could be because BYB sold Pepsi products.

Turn it into a second Chick-fil-A, next door to the other. Madison needs this.

Loved the mushroom and Swiss as well as the turkey burger. Good fries too

And, here come the fast food suburban hamburger joint experts in 3,2,1....

Come to Pearl. They are opening a Chipotle.

Owners allowed the facility to deteriorate to the point that it was difficult to even get to the drive thru window. The parking lot was terrible.

Oh now, all of the sudden that it’s in a city you like, it’s due to conditions outside the city’s control and/or “no one cares.” Wasn’t the case a month ago when the Jackson location was included. Where were y’all a month ago, hypocrites?

8:38, it’s never a plus to serve Pepsi products exclusively. You gotta have Coca-Cola.

My only fond memories of Backyard Burger are from 2003. Which also coincides with the best girlfriend I ever had and the fact that I was 21 and in my prime. These days I can relate the to decay as I am equally decayed in my 40s from too many fast food runs, too many unkept promises, and too much alcohol.

Way too many issues led to this predictable outcome:

Terrible drink selection (same thing that hurts KFC)
Ingress/egress into traffic
Drive Thru takes about as long as Penn's

No one in their right mind would put up with this when the competition next door is far superior. Taco Bell may be the next to close.

These places would be fine if they'd stop hiring McDonald's rejects. As a matter of fact relocate to Gluckstadt proper and they will succeed. They could easily take down Wendy's.

Dang. I wonder if I can buy this franchise at a discount.

Backyard Burgers really were some of the best fast food burgers.

to 7:36 - BINGO!!! You nailed it.

Good food, bad management, indifferent employees.

How could the owner see the amount of business next door and not try to emulate that customer experience? Business was so slow at BB, I thought it was already closed.

Location had nothing to do with it... shitty food and service for too much money. No one is going to put up with that.

Tell me about it. That Burger King across the street had crap burgers compared to BB and yet it stays much busier. Go figure.

I for one will miss them. It was my favorite fast food burger.

Mayor Mary needs to buy the place, name it "Burger Queen" and no, you can't "have it your way", you'll "have it HER way"!

Biden-

You would think that being next to Chick-fil-a, they'd get overflow business, from those making an impulse decision for lunch and not wanting to take a double-width lap around the building for a chicken sandwich.

KF, put Chick-fil-A across the street and watch what happens to Burger King.

Miss Grazi fries were great.

The last time I went to BB in Madison, several months ago, they had implemented an AI system to take orders at the drive through. It came close to getting my order correct, but choked on "no onion." I deal with voice response systems every week when calling for computer tech support, so I know how to enunciate clearly.

Lets start a rumor that What A Burger is coming to that location? Where will all that orange go?

10:38 What-a-Burger IS bidding on that location. ME.

Fast food restaurants across the nation minus a few, such as Chick Fil A, are imploding. I read today that quite a few Burger Kings across the nation were closing.

People are fed up with the soaring prices of the lackluster food, wrong orders, & incompetent and surly staff that is more than likely spitting in your food bc you made a simple request. There are WAY too many food options out there to have to deal with a $15 #1 and have some a$$hole at the window.

$12 for a burger lunch that’s an overcooked hockey pick? I hate it for them, but them is the breaks.

You must not be from 'round here. Chick-Fil-A is almost directly across 463 from Burger Doodle.

Not sure what Kingfish's misery index peaked for. He lives in Jackson.

All of the MetroJackson are closed.

They have all closed in Memphis as well

Best burgers are fresh chuck, gently handled not smashed, grill/smoked over charcoal and hickory/mesquite until medium rare, 1/3 lb, shaped slightly bigger than the bun, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, with lettuce, tomato, thin onion slice, 'bread & butter' slab pickles, Dijon mustard and ketchup. No mayo.

BB was a convenient compromise I enjoyed once a month for 20? years. I miss it and will just cook my own now. OR...Please tell me where I can buy the above specified hamburger elsewhere? Stamps burgers are $10 each, but I won't spend that much for a pretty good grease burger.

More fast food places need to close. Replace with family owned establishments. Fast food employees could care less about any performance of the business. With exceptions of Canes and Chick-fil-a most employees are just waiting for the next job that pays 10 cents more.

If the business model of the Biden regime prevails (and it will), you will see zero drive through food service places in two years. Then what will the tennis-skirted Land Rover crowd do?

BYB’s closing is a result of their prices being too high, plain and simple. When I have the need to buy a cheap fast food burger, BYB doesn’t come to mind. When I want to pay $8-$12 for a burger, I’ll light the grill up and make my own.

Anybody who recommends ketchup and no mayo on a burger ain't from 'round here. He prolly brines the chuck too. All yanks brine their meats.

Below average and overpriced. Far cry from what it was and not even close to Five Guys quality.

Madison, The City, The Not For Sale City...Is a chicken-joint town...not a hamburger town.

The food was terrible. Will never understand why anyone liked their burger.

As someone noted, the ingress/egress at the location was awful. The pricing and Pepsi products kept me away. While good, a hamburger shouldn't cost as much as they charged so I stayed away. I've heard others also state they were too pricey for fast food.
