I echo the Time Grill. (I prefer the one in Mandeville to the one in Slidell though) especially the bar post renovation. Nice. Huge burgers and cold beer! YUM

Lees Hamburgers are good (they opened on 21 in Covington) but they are a little pricey.

Is it the Rusty Pelican?
I think he used to have something to do with Times Grill....I may have my rumors mixed up here but I know he was involved w/ some other burger joint over there.

I rarely travel to the Northshore to eat but I did go to play golf a couple of months ago and we ate at the Times Grill and I thought it was great.

I like Times, and Lee's too. There's actually one (Lee's) in Covington now, I think it's relatively new but I'm not sure. The beer is always awesomely cold at Times. I was disappointed with Zea's Burger, but I should have known it would suck because Tom recommends it so highly. I think Ground Pati's burgers are pretty decent too. I love the cheeseburger po-boy at Rags, spudly. Damn good.

I'm gonna check out the Rusty Pelican too. Where exactly is it?

What about Phil's Grill?

True. Our server today in Metairie said the location wasn't good, and they just weren't doing anywhere near the business they do over here. She said they're exploring the possibility of another place on the southshore.

I've somehow ended up at Times like 3 times in the last week and I've had good food each time. They have a $5.99 bailout menu with like 7 or so items on it, and one of them is a burger made with two 1/4 pound patties. It's really good. Another thing on that menu is a crawfish etouffee, which was shockingly good for something coming from a burger joint.

I saw the Rusty Pelican Sunday on the way to The Broken Egg and I hope to go there within the next week.

I'm going with the new Barley Oak burger (see Bier thread).

No, I haven't had one, but I could drink 3 various pints, throw the burger out the window, and have 3 additional pints for dessert. Maybe even the chocolate!

Driver! :toast:

Jesse, I'm glad you had a good experience at the Times. I think besides having good food, it's a friendly place, too. I look forward to your report on the Rusty Pelican. :)

Times Grill is bland. In the old day,s before corporate expansion, they were the bomb (way back when they were adjacent to and part of Marley's).

The best burger on the northshore is Abita Brew Pub (Magic Burger with grilled onions). Have not tried Barley Oak or Rusty Pelican, yet.
