My husband and I went there yesterday to use the buy-1-get-1-free coupon from the paper. We both ordered the bcon cheese burger. After 5 minutes the server brought our drinks and told us it would be a 20-25 minute wait as the kitchen was backed up. As he spoke, the mgr. delivered our food? Anyway, the burgers were horrible. The meat was cold, dried out and mine was burnt. It was like eating beef jerky. Obviously the meat had been cooked way ahead of time. We kept waiting for the server to come back so we could send the food back but after 20 minutes he only came to hand us our checks. We told him the food was terrible. He spoke to mgr. who took $2.00 off the bill. Then we handed the server the coupon. The mgr. then put the $2.00 back on the bill and gave us the free(?) hamburger. We'll never go back. We walked down to Two Jays and split a sandwich. So where to get the best burger? Suggestions?

Steak & Shake has a good one at a very good price. Beef-o-Brady's has a really good burger. If you are in Lake Sumter Landing, try the burger at The Lighthouse!

Beef O'Brady's.........my husbands favorite burger in TV.......
Good wings and onion rings too.

MY favorite burger in TV is at the Saddlebrook Softball complex $3.00

Nothing fancy but always tender, juicy and tasty.

Other than that I've had burgers at Toojays, McCalls & Marguerita Republic and they're ok. I especially like the Patty Melt at Marquerita

and by the way, I pretty much feel the same as you on Johnney's


There was an old thread on this about a year ago - don't know if it's still up but you could search on 'hamburger'.

I agree with you about Johnny Rockets. If he didn't have that prime location he would certainly be closed by now. The service is terrible, the place is greasy and nasty and the glasses are deplorable. The ice cream is good but not enough to ever go back. The idea of the waitresses dancing is cute, the kids love it. It is a very good idea with terrible management.

I agree about JRs!

I like the patty melts at Steak and Shake. Beteen 2-4PM the shakes are 1/2 price.

On Friday nights Lopez pool bar serves a 2 for 1 burger and they are great.
You don't have to be a priority member to eat there either.

Thanks for all the replies. I agree that there are some wonderful burgers in TV. Especially at the country clubs. I'll have to give the Lighthouse a try, too.

Judy, I agree and the dirty aprons on the waitresses isn't too pleasant either. Cute place but it isn't run very well.

We couldnt agree with you more about J R's. We had coupons for free burgers and didnt even bother to go back to use them.

Witnessed a disgruntled X employee throwing food from his plate on the grill. Uggg!!!

OFF TOPIC.....

Inquiring minds would like to know WHO inspects these restaurants for cleanliness, etc.? JR's was deplorably dirty on my one and only visit there.

Service was so bad wen we were there we finally walked out without our food = and it wasn't all that crowded!

[BobKat1]

I guess I'm in the minority here. We ate at JR's in March (outside so we didn't see the conditions inside) and the malts and fries were very good. Nothing to complain about on the burgers, although I liked my burger better than my wife did. Service was good too, although the restaurant wasn't too busy.
