Baby's Badass Burger's food truck a few weeks ago was pretty killer in my book.

A had a unique burger in Ft. Lauderdale that I loved.  No cheese, just tomato, lettuce peanut butter and banana.  Melts in your mouth.

I like cruisers, but the loop also does a great burger.

The Loop has been hit or miss over the last few years in my experience.

I'm no connoisseur of burgers. I like them but I love all kinds of cuisine so much that it is pretty far down my list of preferred foods. So Ive only had burgers at maybe 20% of the recommended places in Jax.

That said, my first choice is Jolly Mon's at Bold City's taproom.

Go old school with Lemon Tree in Gateway Mall. Red Robin (G-ville's Oaks Mall) is pretty good. Kinda embarrassing that Jax doesn't have any yet. Red Robin, Yummm. :)

Oh that's too bad. I only go to 2 of the loops, always good. Best milkshakes in town, no question about that :)

There are only 3 red robins in florida, it's a northeast thing. One in Gainesville, one in Daytona, and one in Tallahassee. Hopefully they'll expand, the foods delicious.

I hope to visit MShack soon.  The last time I went, the queue was too long!

Is there a restaurant in town that serves a feta cheese burger?
Title: Re: Best place to get a burger?
Post by: Julian on September 01, 2013, 07:49:18 PM
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Harpoon Louie's here yet. I have to do say they've got one delicious burger and they've also got a tasty feta burger. According to this jacksonville.com poll, they were rated best cheeseburger in Jax last year. http://jacksonville.com/entertainment/food-and-dining/2012-10-04/story/who-makes-best-cheeseburgers-jacksonville-results-are (http://jacksonville.com/entertainment/food-and-dining/2012-10-04/story/who-makes-best-cheeseburgers-jacksonville-results-are)

^Thanks, looks good. Most places have a blu burger, feta burgers are somewhat rare. Can't wait!

Hanging Moth, we have a stuffed feta burger at Kickbacks. It's quite tasty.

In my humble opinion - and I've put away some burgers - O'Brothers in 5 points.  Blue cheese burger with fries.  Best in Jax!  Tried M Shack last night (Atlantic Beach) - Burger had no flavor - really disappointed.  Slow, Slow, Slow cashier and the place is geared towards families/strollers/infants.....

I used to eat at the original Red Robin in the U District in Seattle before they went "big time".  The Teriyaki Burger was the best!

After eating at several Red Robin franchisee's across the country, I can't say they share the tastiness of the original. Must be that GFS/Sysco supplied product. Too generic tasting.

^I've never tried the original Red Robin but I'm not impressed by the few I have eaten at over the years.  The last was in Birmingham, AL back in July.

I want to say that Kickbacks has one, but it's been awhile so I'm not 100% sure. I LOVE feta.

Which burger did you have at MShack? I love it..I didn't see it as a place geared for families at all though. But I do agree about O'Bro's. They do have some AWESOME burgers. Greek Lamb burger, Oscar Wilde. Yum yum.

your data must be old...there are 12 in Florida with another one soon...Tally does not have one, but Gainesville and Daytona area (Port Orange) do....there are several in the Tampa Bay area...and others in Pensacola, PCB, Gainesville, Ft. Myers, Miami, and Orlando area

Must be old, last I looked there were just 3. Admittedly, I've had other things to do besides check up on restaurants lately, work's been brutal.
