The Best Restaurants in Oxford, Mississippi | Eater New Orleans
"Tucked away in the alley adjacent to the Lyric Theater, Good Day Cafe is a lunch-only restaurant that surprises with a menu of sandwiches from a team formerly at Saint Leo. Much of the menu is locally sourced, like the beef in the Good Burger, which is delivered through the service window with house-made pickles, fried shallots, and a garlic mustard aioli. Chef Patrick Hudgin kills it, every time." - Beth D’Addono
A great cozy cafe serving up some fantastic fresh meals! Kudos to the chef!
The smash burger was simple but so flavorful. The grits bowl was insane actually and I had to pace myself in that 90 degree weather 😭

You must try the burger!! Good ole fashioned patties with fresh toppings. Oh my gosh, so good!! Fries are perfect and ask for the spicy ketchup!

The service was fast and friendly. My wife got the grit bowl and enjoyed it. I got the avocado toast. The toast itself was kind of meh, but everything on top was delicious. The chili crisps were a great addition. If the toast was better, the dish would have been a home run. We will definitely be going back.

Best burger. You need to try this! Their food is so great! The burger was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - perfectly cooked! The Italian was delicious and they have healthy side options. The coffee cold brew had great flavor too.

Great food and vibes, however the service was ridiculous. If you’re going to charge an auto 20% tip, then I would like my service to be proper. Was given warm water, like I shouldn’t even have to ask for ice in my water and it shouldn’t take 10 minutes and don’t act like I’m inconveniencing you. The staff acted like they didn’t know what was going on all the time, food was good however.

Mostly outdoor seating. "Indoor" seating is in the open bays of garage, which was sticky and warm. Burgers were decent, but pricey. Ordered Diet Cokes with meals. Server brought glasses of Diet Coke, with no ice. Price was $4 each. Ordered refills. Server placed cans of Diet Coke on table. Another $4 each. Service was lousy. But didn't matter. They automatically add "service charge" (tip) of 20%. Will not go back.

One of the best burgers we’ve ever had. The small dish salads are also excellent. A cute cross of a nice restaurant and a casual burger joint, but it has the drinks and service of the former.

1st time in Oxford, MS and this burger was phenomenal! Went with my Brother-in-law got the Avocado Toast and said it was great too! The seating is right outside, with some nice bench seating where you can quickly eat and keep exploring Oxford! The menu is small enough, where the team can focus on quality and if I'm ever in the area, definitely planning on grabbing lunch from here again! 😁

Make sure you arrive right when they open to get a table due to the high demand. Everything we ordered was amazing and the service was exceptional. Best fries in Oxford! Our only request is that they would be open for breakfast!

And on to our second lunch stop in Oxford. This hamburger stand is in the alleyway between two other buildings. If you're not looking for it you might miss it...
We had a traditional burger and a chicken sandwich. Of the two, the chicken was better. But overall I think it's fair to say that neither of these would be on our go-to list for either chicken or burgers.
But opinions vary. Check them out and maybe yours will.

Cool location/atmosphere. Food was disappointing for what you're paying. Chicken sandwich was big to the point that it continued to fall apart. Chicken itself was very dry and stringy with a strange aftertaste. Menu says that sandwiches come with a choice of side but the only choice is plain chips from a bag. Up charge for any other choice (including a different flavor of bagged chips). 20% tip is also included in the bill for every order that is dine-in regardless of party size. Just something not right about paying $18 for a meal where your side is a bag of chips.
