I couldn’t leave this review last night due to a burger-coma.
A local spot with history. Three generations of it. The current generation has traveled an interesting road and has some additional restaurant cred outside of just this spot. I won’t go into it – find out for yourself if you care to drop in. On to the important stuff.
Despite being a God-fearing man, he’s cooking up some evil things on the flat-top. The Happy Burger, I use that term burger loosely, was less burger and more a tender, hamburger/Salisbury steak on a bun that wasn’t really made to accommodate it. The only thing that I might have added had I had any was a splash of A1.
I had to go in from the sides with a fork first. The mac-n-cheese choice side, I think baked, was simple, basic, and good flavor.
Give it a try.

My daughter and I ate there today for the first time. The food was excellent and super reasonable. The chili is the star of the show, no doubt. The pulled pork was very generous and flavorful. We’ll be back.

I’m from New Orleans and im a foodie. Every where i travel i taste the food of small neighborhood establishments( where the best food usually is)and with Happys I can’t complain one bit!
The food was phenomenal!
The prices were great on the wallet.
The service was quick! Very friendly crowd and very welcoming.
Ordered:
rib tips: tender, Smoky, seasoned well and bbq sauce was delicious. I had enough tips to eat twice!
Greens: not salty like many places. Seasoning was a great balance.
Happy burger: OMG! THIS WAS HUGE. it was a HOMEMADE patty juicy and full of flavor. It was so big the meat was hanging off the bun. What more do i need to say?!
Fries: crinkled cut with some popping seasoning. I loved them!
Chilli: literally the best Chilli I’ve eaten in a while. I love the texture no gigantic clumps of meat , great seasoned and delicious.
I will be back!

This was amazing. Looked up places close to my air bnb and they did not disappoint. The Jr Bacon Burger was huge. Fresh beef and thick cut bacon. Highly recommend. Service was friendly and fast considering everything was made to order. Was totally grooving to the retro soul/funk videos on the TV. Got rib tips to go and they melt in your mouth tender.

I ordered through door dash and they had Happys listed as open. I was informed by my driver that Happys is actually only open twice a week but he just so happened to be there cooking for some relatives and went ahead and cooked my order fresh for me! Very thoughtful and kind and I will order from here 100 more times! Thank you, Happy!

I’m not sure how much the atmosphere matters when the food and service are this good?! Absolutely delicious food! The husband and I ordered brisket, potato salad and greens. Mr. Eugene even gave us Italian cream cake on the house. Good food and a generous owner!! Will definitely be back!!
