Southern Living magazine has listed some of the South’s best hamburgers, and a well-recognized favorite in Mobile has made the list, along with another from rural Jackson, also in South Alabama.

Butch Cassidy’s Café in Mobile made the magazine’s list of “the South’s most beloved burger joints.”

Readers of AL.com are familiar with the establishment, which made our list of the top burgers in Mobile and a list of the top burgers in Alabama, plus 25 burgers to try in Alabama.

What makes it so special?

“There’s only one thing to order at this homegrown restaurant in downtown Mobile, Alabama, and it’s the famous Butch Burger,” writes Southern Living’s Tara Massouleh McCay. “The 7-ounce almost-plate-sized sandwich comes topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, and exactly four pickles. The combo is a winning recipe that has kept this neighborhood favorite happily busy since 1993.”

The other Alabama burger joint on the list was Ed’s Drive-In in Jackson. That’s in Clarke County, west of Monroeville.

“Classic drive-ins are hard to come by these days, but this business has been a stalwart in the tiny town of Jackson, Alabama since the summer of ‘64,” McCay writes about Ed’s. “Now owned by a young couple, Julia and Justin Brooks, who fell in love with the place after sharing many dates there, Ed’s is largely the same as it always was. The biggest seller is still the hand-pressed hamburger. Close behind it is their famous steak sandwich, a country-fried hamburger steak patty topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.”
