Majestic Burger’s slogan is “make it majestic,” and they feature a wide array of burgers, starters, sandwiches and salads. You can build your own burger made fresh daily from all natural hormone-free beef.  Their burgers are absolutely delicious with a four-step process for selecting exactly the way you like it.  Along with a wide variety of other menu choices, this is a must visit restaurant for a quick but hearty meal.


The Food: Step one: choose from a wide variety of bread offerings, which includes, wheat, sweet sour dough, round white, sliced sourdough, sliced wheat or for the health conscious, no bun.

Step two: pick your cheeses — they offer mozzarella , Swiss,  provolone, blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese spread, cheddar, Monterey Jack, American, or a combination for an extra charge.

Step three: add your free toppings — lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mustard, mayo or banana peppers.

Step four: you can add premium toppings for an extra charge — grilled onions, jalapenos, fried egg, chili, onion strings, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed red bell peppers or smoked bacon.

Wow, such choices and that’s just the beginning of an awesome two-handed burger meal. Once you decide on how big your appetite is comes the time to choose your side offerings. They've got great French fries, sweet fries, onion strings, chips, coleslaw or a side salad. Making your mind up is the hardest part especially when you see the other menu items of chicken sandwiches, buffalo chicken, chicken salad, mini burgers and chicken burgers along with shrimp po’boys or Mahi Mahi. Their menu is abundant and worth several visits to try some of everything there is to offer.

Their salads are divine and the homemade dressings cannot be beat. My companion chose their comeback dressing, while I stuck with a side of ranch for my sweet potato fries. We were overwhelmed with the offerings and both got something different to make the most of our first visit. Their signature Majestic Burger is a must try loaded with bacon, cheddar cheese, Comeback dressing and lettuce and tomato. Remember the steps as you choose your favorite bread to make it just the way you like it. They have a great selection of items for the kids, a small plate menu for the not so hungry, hot dogs and homemade desserts round out the menu sure to please everyone.   

The Drink: Majestic offers a wide variety of bottled beer selections as well as wine by the glass. A self-service soda and iced tea station is available along with homemade milkshakes and malts. We enjoyed the unlimited iced tea and take out cups for that little extra drink for the ride home.

The Scene: Majestic Burger has been open about a year and has a great following and with three flat screen televisions so the diehard sports fan can enjoy a great meal and not miss their favorite ballgame. There is outdoor seating when the weather is splendid, and plenty of space for large group gatherings for before or after the sports event crowd. They are wifi-friendly and their iconic purple and green walls — one with a nice mural drawing of the Canton Mart area — adorn the restaurant.

Bottom Line: You will not go away hungry after your visit and I was extremely disappointed not to be able to handle one of the great looking milkshakes or the homemade banana pudding that was just waiting for me to inhale it. We thought about taking a shake to go but declined and decided to just go back again and again. A neighborhood restaurant that is very casual, family friendly and quite laid back. A good local eatery for a couple, family, business meeting or a dine alone with your laptop in hand.
