Tasting Table, the popular national foodie digital publication, has declared J & J Grocery & Deli in Bessemer the “Best Hole in the Wall” burger joint in Alabama.
Located at 8169 Dickey Springs Rd. Bessemer, the legendary spot is now a stone’s throw from the new UAB Medical West.
Tasting Table: J & J burger is a work of art
How good are J & J’s burgers? Tasting Table calls them a work of art.
“You’ll walk into this former gas station and get a whiff of what’s cooking, which includes a double bacon burger some describe as a work of art. Every bite is juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, onion rings are on point, and homemade sauces are the icing on the cake.”

In addition to the double bacon cheeseburger, the burger joint offers:
- Several kinds of burgers: Jalapeno bacon cheese, mushroom Swiss, Hawaiian and chili cheeseburgers
- Hot dogs and wings
- Breakfast starting at 5:30AM
In addition to classic burgers, the grocery store sells beer and wine, groceries, tobacco products and auto supplies and cleaners.
The joint is open Monday-Saturday 5:30AM-2PM. They are closed on Sunday.
