Mount Pleasant Burgers & Fries

Mount Pleasant Burgers & Fries sits on the corner of East 14th Street in the heart of Mt Pleasant, Texas, just a short drive from Lakeport Lake and the historic downtown square. The red‑brick façade and neon sign welcome locals and travelers alike, while the interior combines reclaimed wood tables, vintage Texas memorabilia, and a bright open kitchen where you can watch patties sizzle. Their menu centers on handcrafted burgers such as the Mount Pleasant Classic, a juicy Angus beef patty topped with smoked cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, and a house‑made pickles relish, and the Texas BBQ Burger, which adds tangy barbecue sauce, onion rings, and jalapeño slaw. Breakfast lovers can start the day with a fluffy buttermilk biscuit topped with a fried egg and sausage, or a hearty breakfast burrito packed with scrambled eggs, cheddar, and hash‑brown potatoes. All fries are hand‑cut; the Sweet Potato Fries are seasoned with cinnamon‑brown sugar, while the classic shoestring fries are served with a trio of dipping sauces. Prices range from $8 for a single burger to $15 for a combo meal with a milkshake. The restaurant opens early at 6:30 am on Fridays and serves lunch and dinner daily until 8:00 pm, remaining closed on Sundays. Diners can call ahead at 903‑717‑8917 or place orders online for curbside pickup. Mount Pleasant Burgers & Fries is also known for its community spirit, regularly sponsoring local school sports teams, hosting charity fundraisers, and displaying artwork from nearby artists. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a late‑night fry fix, the friendly staff and relaxed vibe make it a beloved gathering spot in East Texas.
