Orlando is solely about 4 hours away from my house in Miami, so it ought to be no shock that I discover its meals scene just a few instances a 12 months. Often, once I drop off Marcela at an vintage store, I enterprise out in search of consolation meals.
She normally will get to attempt no matter I publish on social media, like Mr. Fast, which was Royal Citadel #74 again within the day. They’ve bought a correct diner burger, and deciding whether or not so as to add them to this record wasn’t simple. I finally did.
One other unconventional spot that made the record is Sloppy Taco Palace and their beef sliders. Sure, it’s a taco spot, however these beef sliders are so tasty.
Not all the Greatest Burgers in Orlando are situated in Orlando however within the surrounding areas. I additionally threw in a Gone however NOT Forgotten space on the backside of some memorable burgers I ate in Orlando.

A Lo Cubano Kitchen
I’ve been following A Lo Cubano Kitchen for years, since their meals truck days. The homeowners, Lisa and Yojan, are initially from Miami, and we now have many mates in widespread.
But, placing that apart, they’ve captured the essence of Cuban meals, significantly the Frita Cubana. The Frita was Cuba’s most well-known avenue meals, and it discovered its solution to Little Havana (in Miami) within the Sixties.
The Cuban Hamburger is a well-seasoned patty with a distinguished smoked paprika taste topped with grilled onions and julienne potatoes on Cuban bread. After all, you’ll be able to add cheese, however you’ll lose main avenue cred.

Yard Burgers
Throughout my meals highway journeys, I’ve eaten at Yard Burgers in a number of states. They are in Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
There’s one burger that I sit up for consuming at Yard Burgers: the Texas Soften. As a lifelong patty soften fan, this fella is correct up my alley.
It doesn’t essentially observe all of the official patty soften guidelines, however I’m not complaining in regards to the sautéed onions, bacon, and American cheese combo on toasted Texas Toast. Additionally, it’s unavailable in any respect Yard Burger places, so there’s that too!

Kappy’s Subs
Since 1967, Kappy’s Subs has been serving cheesesteaks. As an alternative, I went with the quarter-pound recent beef burger with grilled onions, American cheese, and yellow mustard on a fluffy bun.
The burger is scrumptious, however that bun referred to as for a double, so you recognize what to do. Factors off for slicing it in half; nevertheless, I forgive them since I loved the hamburg.

Ravenous Pig
At one level, Ravenous Pig was one of many solely mom-and-pops value visiting for a burger within the Orlando space. How do I do know? Social Media-land would ask if I had eaten their burger.
After all, the Pub Burger with Angus beef, caramelized onions, and buttermilk blue cheese on a brioche bun is the factor to get. And by telling you that it was simply good, it’d be a large understatement.

Do you imagine in Swine and Sons? I do. Since Droolius texted me to drive straight there as soon as I arrived in Central Florida, I knew it should be severe enterprise.
He was not kidding. The OK Onion Smash burger has a few secret weapons: housemade garlic dill pickles and translucent, tasty onions hidden below the burger patties.
It may not look that manner from the image, however loads of onions exist. I’m not overselling it once I say this burger was close to excellent.
