BurgerFi, a franchise that boasts all-natural, grass-fed beef, just opened in Winter Park on the corner of Park Avenue and Fairbanks.
This quick-service restaurant has a pretty basic menu of burgers and hot dogs with a variety of choices of toppings. The set-up is very reminiscent of Pine 22 but without quite as many topping options. They have a number of locations around the country.
Kevin and I went to check out the newest burger joint to hit town, and the place was packed for a weekday. To accommodate a larger number of people, the tables were very close together, so be warned that you’ll be buddying up next to your dining companions and neighbors.
Kevin ordered a double hamburger with grilled onions and lettuce. He said that he enjoyed the burger but prefers both Five Guys and Pine 22.
I ordered their VegeFi burger, which is a quinoa burger with cheddar cheese and toppings on a multi-grain bun.
I really loved my burger. It had a lot of flavor. The outside of the quinoa burger was crisp and the inside was creamy and full of flavor. The texture was really great and paired well with the cheese and bread. I also love Pine 22’s black bean burger, but I may prefer this vegetarian burger to Pine 22’s. It was that good.
My biggest qualm was that they don’t serve their food on plates, so you end up creating a placemat of napkins to eat on.
As a side, we ordered the Cry and Fries, a combo of onion rings and French fries meant to be shared.
Neither was anything spectacular. The onion rings were massive but very greasy. I only ate one before throwing in the towel.
BurgerFi is a nice option compared to all the pricier places lining Park Avenue, especially when you want a quick bite to eat. Rumor has it that their frozen custards are amazing.
What is your favorite type of burger? I love Hillstone’s veggie burger, and Kevin had an amazing burger in Arlington that was a combination of beef and pork.
Yet ANOTHER place I need to try. Glad you guys are going to all of these new places for me
I LOVE Hillstone’s Veggie Burger, I love the burger at the Rusty Spoon, but I don’t love 5 Guys. It’s too greasy for me. Mmm… now I want a burger!
That burger place looks cool! I like that they stamp the name of the restaurant on the burger.
I like Red Robin’s burgers. Plus they have the best bottomless steak fries
OMG that looks so good!
AHHHH Jess this is why I love your blog!!! We have so many of the same haunts!
I just tried burgerfi for the first time on Friday and that quinoa burger blew my mind. I did it in the lettuce wrap and thought it was one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. Now Im bummed that we didnt go with the onion rings though – they look phenomenal!
I really love any home made veggie burger with cheese!
That quinoa burger sounds good! There’s a burger place right by my apt, Good Stuff Eatery, and i LOVE it! But bc it’s so close, I have to limit how often I eat there, otherwise I’d basically be there everyday!
We went there during our trip to DC! I loved all the different fries seasonings and dipping sauces!
I second Hillstone’s veggie burger. And what Michelle said about Rusty Spoon. Soooooo good. I’ve never had 5 Guys but everyone says it’s so greasy and I’m not a fan of greasy stuff, so I haven’t really been rushing to get there.
I did used to LOVE Outback’s bleu cheese burger back in the day. That used to be my favorite.
Thanks Jessica. Now I’m sitting here without a burger.
oh yum. i love a good burger place. in denver, we love larkburger and parkburger. my faves are with guacamole!!
I’ve been wanting to try Burger Fi, keep hearing about the quinoa burger. I love the veggie burger at Hillstone, delicious!
The concretes are amazing!!! I have a new craving now. Dang it.
I thought the burgers were pretty good. It could totally be my pregnancy appetite, but I thought mine was a little small. But then again I am a human vacuum these days. I tried the parmesan fries with the garlic aoili and they were OK. I went to place in Atlanta that also made those fries and they were better up there.
In short: the concrete. Yum. I got mine with hot fudge, Oreo’s and M&M’s. Delish.
