Best burgers
 

Who has the best burgers in The Villages?

(Taking a chance and responding to a first post)

The best burger is the one that you prefer, though everyone will have an opinion.

Square 1 has a large selection and usually has some promotion going on. World of Beer is tasty and has their $5.99 promotion on Monday. I've had both of those and go back regularly.

I've seen burgers at Cody's and RJ Gators that look really good though I haven't tried them.

There's always 5-Guys, Johnny Rockets, and Culvers.

And then there are the burgers I make at home.

I dunno, my doctor wont let me eat them any more - sigh... no one ever told me getting old would happen so fast!

American Legend has burgers on Mondays. :thumbup:

If you venture out of the villages just a little, downtown Leesburg has a couple of good restaurants. I had a really good burger at a place called The Brick & Barrel.

I agree that square 1 has a good burger. Of course it took me 5 times before I got to try one they have so many good things on their menu

Square one is good and also Too Jays

I do.

If you mean which restaurants have the best burgers, I'd say most of them are pretty good, and they mostly taste the same. The only significant difference I could find was the choice of bun/bread and the topping options.

Palmer Legends Country Club - Spirits and Fine Dining - The Villages Florida

I have not had one of their burgers since before 2020 but recall it was very good. Pricey even then though.

I hear Miller's ale house is good.

Buy some of these and you would probably have the best burgers at home while here in the Villages.

Not in TV but in 16 years never found a better burger than Terry’s Sports Bar and Grill in Ocala.

It’s ground beef 80-20 or 90-10 about a 1/3 of a pound flatten it place it on your home grill Lettuce Tomato and onion raw or grilled on a nice roll. Mine are as good as some of the $12 to $16 I see on menus in TV. There going on the grill in about 30min

Gotta be a good tomato not one of those cardboard ones and come to think of it make it a bermuda onion:icon_wink:

Millers Ale House by far the best burger!

In our birdcage on the Webber Grill by our pool.

A cast iron pan and oven can’t be beat. Cook like a steak. Texas Roadhouse if you must eat out

Hi - My husband has mixed dyslipidemia and his cardiologist said he can have heart association beef which is meat that is 96% lean. I buy it at Aldi and Walmart. But you have to look at the heart association label. Then I chop canned mushrooms and black olives in it. I buy the liquid Campbells onion soup and put it in a pan and put the hamburger patties in that. You have to do that step because 96% lean meat can be dry but when cooking it in either beef broth or a liquid onion soup it makes the meat less dry. Then I put lettuce, tomato, pickle, ketchup, low fat mayo, grilled and a thin slice of raw onion and it tastes really good while being lean. Hopefully if you get a taste for a burger although it is something you prepare yourself - it is a healthy substitute for what you would get in a restaurant.

Sounds tasty. We buy ground Chuck from Fresh Market and I make my own buns. Toppings are grilled onion, bacon, goat cheese topped with a slice of cheddar. I’m hungry now!

:bigbow:

I’m coming to YOUR house. When are you planning to make them again?

There is a burger place called Burger-Fi that I always stop by in Gainsville and there was a recent posting that one is opening up here near the Trailwinds mall in Wildwood. Great burgers and shakes also I've been told they have great Veg-burgers though one has never touched my lips.

Well I just got tired of paying $3+ for buns that cost me about 35 cents to make plus they are better!

Having a burger/cheeseburger in The Villages = having a “Cheeseburger in Paradise “ Jimmy Buffet

Lopez pool bar. Really good!

That is a great question for this site?? So subjective - wow!!

Had one there a few weeks ago. Great burger.

Oak wood and Longhorn Steakhouse are both good as is Millers.

Culver’s Double Butter burger.

The burgers on top of the Bloody Mary's at RJ Gators in Sumter Square.

I have always enjoyed Palmer's burger. Recently, I've found the burgers at Farmshed in Spanish Springs outstanding.

There are no charbroiled 1/2 lb burgers in the Villages which is my preference. Most listings are for greasy burgers and that might be your choice. I would say the Chop House if I had to choose.

Freddie’s in Ocala for the best fast food burger.

I agree, everybody will have their opinion! Just try several different places.

LOL, at my age I think my Dr. told me to quit eating because everything I told him I liked he said that was bad for ME for one reason or another. I eat a lot of chicken. Because everything else is bad for my blood pressure, cholesterol or glucose.

Hands down==> BONEFISH GRILL. There is one on 466.

Surprising, but they have one of the top 3 cheeseburgers I have had going back to 1993:

1. Margaritaville, Orlando, 1993: had gravy on it with onions and Swiss cheese.
2. Twin Peaks Hilton, Phoenix 2005: seasoned beef patties and exceptional condiments.
2. Bonefish Grill, Merritt Island, 2012 and current: still top notch Kobe beef.

I have had many GREAT burgers in my life, but these were the BEST, and hard to finish eating just because I knew they would be gone when I did! :icon_wink:

In and Out burgers are great just a bit of a drive to get there for dinner

Glenview has a pretty good burger.

We went there one time and they had a crabby Mary special, with a soft shell crab (with olives for eyes) on top of the Bloody Mary, yum!

Best Burgers, Best Price
 

One of the best burgers, and a real bargain, is at Steak and Shake on 466 in front of Walmart.

All burgers are cooked to order, in sight (company logo is "In sight, it must be right"). Buns are toasted. French fries are very thin "shoestrings". The shakes are hand-made and are award winners. Sadly, due to the reduction in staff there is no longer table service and some favorites, such as the pot of baked beans, are not currently available.

The preparation is the same as it was in the 1930's when Gus Belt founded the chain in Bloomington, IL. Many of us would have starved when in college if not for Steak and Shake.

The kicker is that Steak and Shake has not raised its prices. Not only do you get a superior product, it is a bargain. The double cheeseburger combo with fries and a soft drink costs, roughly, $8.70 including tax!

Be certain to ask for the "pepper" bottle to sprinkle on the burger. It is a small bottle stuffed with very mild peppers in vinegar. Frankly, ground black pepper is probably hotter. However, it sure seemed exotic and daring in the Mid-West in the 1950's! Also, enjoy looking at the old photos on the walls of the restaurants, cars, and carhops from the 1950's.
