***** BurgerFi, 4343 North Ocean Drive, Lauderdale by the Sea 33308, (954) 489-0110.

Walked into this free-standing “fast food” burger joint last Saturday night—and immediately new that I was going to love it. The easiest way to describe BurgerFi–Shake Shack (see 8/1/10 review) meets Five Guys Famous Burgers (see 11/2/06 review) with indoor and outdoor “picnic table seating.”

Let me make this real simple…one of the best fast-food cheeseburgers and hand cut fries that I’ve had in a very long time.

At this stage of the proceedings, check www.burgerfi.com for menu/prices/photos.

I am telling you, if burgers and fries are your game, you are absolutely gonna love this joint.

As a 1949 “baby” I think I know a thing or two about the fast-food-burger industry. Trust me on this, old Jeff Eats has eaten his fair share of burgers and fries.

I think I know exactly what BurgerFi is “trying” to do here…The joint’s decor looks like a roadside fast-food burger joint circa 1950’s/1960’s with some-modern touches…throw in “gourmet” burgers and “upscale” fries-other stuff…and BurgerFi’s got all of the bases covered. It’s cooler looking than Five Guys but cheaper than the “upscale” full service-burger restaurants that are currently America’s latest craze.

Check Burgerfi’s site, there are a handful of pictures which will give you some idea as to what I am yapping about here.

Like I said before, if you like burgers, fries, hot dogs, custard…you’ll love this joint.

BurgerFi is open 7 days a week 11am-1am.

    like you i love a good burger and fries,
    i really don’t care for shake shack,
    i do like five guys,

    definitely going to give it a shot.

  6. Widelawns says...

    I ate there today. It’s delicious. I decided to try the veggie burger after going a few times and having the regular burgers. Best veggie burger I’ve ever had and even better followed up with a strawberry shake.

  7. BOBMAN says...

  13. ar says...

    delicious burgers and fries and onion rings.
    the sign board is very confusing.

  14. kdf says...

    Tried it yesterday.
    When my son and I got there yesterday about 3pm there were 4 people on line. The ordering went very slowly. To our amazement there was a second line for shakes only which had no one on it. The girl at that line indidnt tell people on our line to come up to her. She stood there for 10 minutes while we waited to order. Score customer service ZERO.

    We got our food. For 1 drink, and 2 cheeseburgers and fries/onion rings the bill was almost $18. The single burgers were good but small. The fries were good. The onion rings are huge with way too much breading on them. Score food 8 out of 10.

    The owners have erected a horrible black and green sign board. It is very confusing and hard to read.

    We made the trip once, maybe if we were on the block we would go again, but no way is it wortha special drive.

      Like you I also liked the Delray spot.
      I also like the new HiWay Burgers that recently opened on Fed Highway/Atlantic in Delray. Personally, I think HiWay’s burgers and ff are better than BurgerFi.
