My Top “ATE” Burger Joints

Who’s craving a big juicy cheeseburger right about now? I know I am! I like mine made with a soft brioche bun that’s been lightly toasted and slathered with a good roasted garlic aioli on both the top and bottom bun. A good quality beef patty is a key to any burger, and it must be cooked to a perfect medium with two slices of a sharp cheddar cheese melted over top. I only like a small amount of ketchup and grain mustard, I don’t want them to overpower the other flavors. The veggies must be ice cold and placed on the burger right before they serve it. As I sit and wait for my order, the anticipation is killing me as I think about how delicious this is going to be. Picking up the burger and taking that first bite is always the best. The soft delicate bun flanked by cold crisp veggies and the juice from the beef patty that starts to roll down your chin and gets all over your hands. There is a certain satisfaction I get when taking a bite and the mouth feel that makes me so very happy!

Now that I’ve wet your appetite, below are my “Top ATE” places when I’m craving a burger to go get one, in no particular order.

South Fork Kitchen & Bar is located in Stuart, FL and is my pick for the Best Burger on the Treasure Coast! This burger is called the “BAMF Burger” aka the “Bad Ass Mother Fucker” Burger for a reason! It’s made with two beef patties flanked by slices of American cheese, bacon-onion jam, and a chipotle aioli, all served on a brioche bun.

Located on the island, Bobby’s Restaurant & Lounge is one of the most suggested places to grab a burger by many long time Vero Beach residents. While it’s been a while since I’ve last been there, you can always count on a great quality burger from this Vero institution.

Casey’s Place is probably one of the most suggested places to grab a burger in Vero Beach. They have been serving the community for over 38 years and they are still going strong. Did you also know they are open for breakfast too? They have one of the best egg sandwiches I’ve tasted in quite a while.

My next choice might seem unconventional because their main focus is seafood, but the Crab Stop of Vero Beach (and Sebastian too) has one of the best burgers in the area! It’s called “The Hurt Me Burger”. It has 3 beef patties layered with cheese and stacked up high! Next time you’re there, I dare you not to order seafood and try this awesome burger!

Although they are known for their fresh seafood, they have a wide variety of items on their menu to satisfy just about anyone, and burgers just happen to be one of them. With over 10+ different choices, you can never go wrong with a burger and fries from The Green Marlin Restaurant & Raw Bar!

A little bit beyond the Treasure Coast in North Palm Beach is the Brass Ring Pub! Their Bacon Cheeseburger is made with an 8 oz beef patty and topped with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. The burger has a wonderful char-grilled flavor, the cheese and bacon were plentiful, and the veggies were ice cold, just the way I like it!

One place that we seem to frequent often because it’s close to home is Cafe 66. With a wide variety of burgers to choose from, you can never go wrong with the classic Ranch Hand Burger with french fries!

Last up on my “Top ATE” list but certainly not least, is this “MOTHER OF ALL BURGERS” or aka The MOAB! I first learned of this burger a few years and took my best shot to take a bite of it and failed miserably. If you don’t mind a short 20 minute drive north to Sebastian, stop by the Sebastian Sandwich Shack and see if you can put this thing away. Much respect if you can, because this thing is HUGE!

That concludes my “Top Ate” Burger Joints for now. Do you have a favorite place that I did not include? Sound off in the comments below and let me know so I can go check it out!
