Jeff:
There are so many good ones that this is a tough one to call.
I’ve been in S Florida over 35 years.
My old standbye is Jack’s.
I also really like CharHut.
Of the newcomers, Five Guys, and BurgerFi get the job done.
The real sleeper in the crowd is this newcomer HiWay which just opened a week or so ago in Delray. Really delicious burgers and fries.
IMHO BurgerFi is the best all around fast food burger place in the area. I also like Five Guys, Shake Shack, Jack’s, Cheeseburger Baby.
If we are talking wait staff food the best going by far is Gilbert’s.
HiWay Burger, in n out , shake shack , 5 guys, burgerFi
there are no In N Outs in Fl. Or am I missing something?
absolutely no in n outs in fl,
There aren’t any In N Outs in Florida.
If it came to Florida it would be huge.
Same for White Castle.
No contest here.
FATBURGER
then you got:
Shake Shack
CharHut
Jack’s
Elevation
For the record, after reading Burger Beast and your columns I made it my business to get up from Miami to Delray last week to checkou the newcomer Hiway Burger. Let’s just say the guy’s food is really good. Now this was a one try only so I can’t put them right on the list for now but he definitely could be a huge contender.
By the way Ive been to In N Out loads of time and its okay but not as great as many crack it up to be.
Best burgers of all time were at BurgerRama in Brooklyn 1950s. Long gone.
Today in our area, I think that Charm City in Deerfield puts out a quality product.
Use to love Jack’s but in recent years hasnt been quite as good but still up there.
Like 5 Guys.
Like the sliders at Red Caboose in Deerfield.
Like Doc’s in Delray.
FIVE GUYS
CHARHUT
JACK’S
BURGERFI
SHAKE SHACK
Looking forward to trying HiWay.
SmashBurger is the best around.
Five Guys is good.
BurgerFi is good.
Jack’s is good.
Charm City is good.
Personally I like Between The Buns the best.
I’m also a huge fan of Charm City, BurgerFi, Big Joe’s and Five Guys.
I know there are a lot of fast food burger places .
The only one that I really like is CG Burger in Parkland.
I’m in for
BGR being the best
Shake Shack
Smashburger
Cheeseburger Baby
Five Guys
flip burger
fuddruckers
shake shack
jr’s gourmet burgers
smashburger
Stop Burgers.
Smashburger
Shake Shack
Five Guys
Quickie
You guys should try the burgers at Fat Lou’s.
Char Hut is also very good.
One Burger is also good.
And of course you got 5 Guys and CG.
Awfully hard to rate burger places because we have some really good ones and too close to call.
This is the way I see it.
Shake Shack
Cheeseburger Baby
Fat Burger
Five Guys
Spot Burger
There are so many that it’s getting overcrowded.
Been eating at Jack’s and Char Hut for years. Those are my favorites.
Jeff Eats:
Huge 5 Guys fan. Also really like CG and BurgerFi. Have eaten at Quickie’s, Spot, Charm City and loads of others. What I can tell you is that I recently tried HiWay Burger in Delray and thought that the 2x cheeseburger/ff and chocolate shake were as good as anything in the 3 counties that you mention.
Shake Shack is in a league of its own.
The runners up:
Charm City
Smashburger
Jack’s
BurgerFi
This is a tough one. I have been to many if not most mentioned here.
Charhut
White Castle (LOL-They were .19 cents when I was a kid in Long Island)
In and Out-Los Angeles and Vegas
Burger Bar (Las Vegas-Very good)They have some other locations now.
Jeff wanted your best in Dade, Broward, Palm Beach.
Best in those areas, Char Hut and Jack’s.
Most of the common ones have been mentioned so I used a few out of town ones. I had Charm City, Five Guys, Burger Fi, Elevation. Those seem pretty similar. Charm City and Five guys might be a little more juicy, maybe a little more fatty.
BurgerFi – always the best
Charm City (Deerfield)
Tap 42 (Ft. Lauderdale
8oz Burger Bar (Miami Beach)
5 guys (last because I’ve been going for years)
I strongly suggest you give Tap 42 a try, I didn’t see it mentioned here but they are great.
louie, tap 42 isnt fast food, nor is 8 0z. this is a fast food burger list.
In Coral Springs you have Burger Fi, Elevation Burger a block away and Smash Burger nearby. I wonder who closes first. Too many. I was at Burger Fi first time Sat night. They seem to be doing nicely seeling beer and wine which I dont think the others offer.
HiWay in Delray is terrific.
The rest:
Jack’s
Smash Burger
Shake Shack
BurgerFi
Pinion Grill
Burger Fi
Charm City
Five Guys
If you guys want a more upscale burger try Pinion Grill.It is by far the best burger hands down, but not in the same price range as others.
My favorite is Shake Shack.
Next comes Burgerfi.
In third place CG.
Fourth place goes to Char Hut.
Fifth is Relish.
I only eat medium rare burgers and there is only one fast food burger place that will make them that way and that is Charm City. To me all the rest are just selling overcooked stuff. They also have great fries and shakes
Try Between The Bun they’ll make it anyway you want it. Burgers and Nathan’s style ff are delicious.
No contest here at all
Shake shack makes the best food food burger.
Hey Jeff. I just read how Charm City won some best burger contest in the Sun Sentinel. Personally I found its burger over spiced and not the best.
Shake Shack and no one else is close in the fast food category
1. Friar Tuck’s
2. Jack’s
3. Five Guys
4. Denny’s
5. Elevation
Keg South kendall
Grease WPB
Forget it. Go to Publix and buy a box of frozen Bubbaburgers. Fry them from frozen to taste and the result will make five guys look sick by comparison.
I’ll go with 5 Guys.
Also like CG.
hiway in delray.
also like shake shack in miami.
1.Between The Bun
2.BurgerFi
3. CG Burger
4. Quickies Burger
5. 5 Guys
is highest quality/best service
Well, while many other fellow Yelpers may have had good dinning experiences here, I am afraid I have to say its just not the case for us. We came by here for a quick bite before heading to The Mack House for some drinks, and we probably should have gone to some place else instead.
Highlights – the girl working on the register taking our order. Since this was our first visit, we weren’t familiar with the menu items. She patiently explained the menu and took our orders. The same goes to the girl who took our payment.
Low lights – the folks working on the grills. Obviously you can’t get your food right away if it was cook to order. But they need to have someone who is a little bit organized on which orders came first and what was in that order. Not only they screwed up our orders, and gave my food to someone behind us, (with no apologies by the way), they didn’t even get my order right.
