While the famously eccentric Graceland Too is now closed, Holly Springs remains rich in quirky history and classic Southern hospitality. The town is home to Phillips Grocery, a family-run burger joint operating since 1948 and lauded by Food & Wine and Garden & Gun for its distinctive, time-tested recipe. Pair your meal with a leisurely drive past antebellum homes and the historic Rust College campus for a day that feels both timeless and uniquely local.

Highly recommend this as a stop on your dining pilgrimage 😁 Can't beat the atmosphere of an old, historic building. My burger was good - didn't like the fries-not well done or very tasty. The burger is interesting - seared to a crisp on each side and moist and juicy in the middle. We met a local who for a hamburger only eats Phillips burgers. The meat is quite mildly seasoned - I can make better seasoned burgers at home (I guess, personal preference), but I will try cooking them like these - it does add to their uniqueness.

Absolutely great food! Awesome eating in an old saloon/ general store! Next to an old train station. Great place to enjoy!

Located on E Van Dorn Avenue across the street from the historic Holly Springs Depot: When you're ready to have a GREAT burger and fries (or any other really good sandwiches and sides -- this is the place! Family operated and with an amazing collection of Americana, Phillip's is a really a memorable experience and a sure way to fill up on really good cooking!

Phillip's has the neatest atmosphere of any restaurant in Holly. It was featured on the Travel Channel's "Burger Land." I like to get bacon added to my burger with a side of fries and a coke in a glass bottle. Small staff so there is a bit of a wait. Don't go thinking it'll be as fast as Wendy's. it isn't fast food. 7/15/2020- They don’t take credit cards right now. You have to call ahead to order or order from your car when you get here. You can’t go inside. They’ll bring your food to you.

Most amazing place. I grew up in Holly Springs and left in 93'. I miss the building up on the hill, the depot next door, the memorabilia and most of all the old fashioned style burger. I've lived all of the country since then and nowhere that I have seen has the history, nostalgia and the feeling of home like Phillip's does. Keep doing what you do and NEVER CLOSE!

The burgers at Phillip's Grocery are delicious. They are like those old-fashioned burgers! My mom use to take us there...and everything at the store still seems the same...I would highly recommend their burgers to anyone!
