DoveCote

$$$$

Downtown Orlando

4.0

1267 reviews

DoveCote is somewhat inconspicuously set inside an Orlando office building, yet its spacious, light- and mural-filled venue with a patio transports diners to the grandest brasseries of France. Its all-day dining likewise reveals a French influence, with ample burgers in sophisticated incarnations. On the lunch and brunch menu, salmon, turkey, and veggie burgers join the DC burger, topped with Louie sauce, Boursin cheese, and frisee lettuce. Sides come separately, whether classic frites, fromage frites, or a sophisticated vegetable preparation like chilled roasted beets and goat cheese or whipped potato with roasted garlic and creme fraiche. The DC burger graces the dinner menu too, here with a side of frites included.

Slate, a trendy spot on Restaurant Row that draws a lively crowd, specializes in pizzas, wood-fired meats, and Mediterranean flavors. Its signature burger, the 8-ounce W. Sand Lake burger, features on the lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch menus. It comes topped with baby Swiss cheese, red onion jam, arugula, and pickles, with a choice of house-cut fries, Caesar salad, or seasonal soup on the side. A tempting vegetarian alternative is the hearth-roasted portabella with camembert, crispy onions, and gribiche. Diners seeking a great burger and more at Slate enjoy a choice of traditional dining room seating, a communal table, or the veranda with a fireplace.

The Tap Room at Dubsdread, in a historic 1924 building in Orlando, definitely claims a top spot on any list of the best burgers in Orlando, having received both Orlando Sentinel's and Orlando Magazine Readers' Choice Awards for best burger. The upscale-casual restaurant also won Orlando Sentinel's Foodie Award 10 years in a row. Six burgers feature on the all-day menu, all half-pounders served with french fries.

With its namesake's reputation for creating world-class gourmet cuisine, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Disney Springs presents a chic dining experience. That certainly doesn't exclude the option to dine on a great burger, but know that the WP burger features on the lunch menu only. It comes on a brioche bun with white cheddar, red onion marmalade, and garlic aioli. Bacon and avocado add-ons are available, as is a gluten-free bun upon request. On the side is a choice of french fries, potato puree, or broccolini dressed up with parmesan and lemon breadcrumbs.

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill - Orlando

Steaks and seafood are the specialties of Firebirds Wood Fire Grill's from-scratch kitchen, but we think its burgers, whether classic or all dressed up, are just as tempting. Along with a simple cheeseburger, there's the chile-spiced Durango burger with pepper jack, fried onions, and a roasted garlic ranch dressing, and the smokehouse burger with Java BBQ sauce, cheddar, and bacon. All come on a brioche bun with a choice of steak fries, tater tots, cider slaw, or fresh fruit. Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, one in a large national chain, is located at the Market at Mills Park.

The Orlando Sentinel called F&D Kitchen and Bar "a Lake Mary gem" — praise earned by its showcase of meticulously sourced ingredients from local Florida farms and fishermen. The beef that goes into its signature double standard burger is grass-fed, transformed into two 4-ounce patties, and topped with house bacon, white cheddar, and special sauce along with tomato and butter lettuce. The burger comes on a brioche bun with a side of fries and the option to add a fried egg or fried green tomato. The popular burger features on F&D's lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch menus.

Nona Blue Modern Tavern

South Orlando

1944 reviews

"A tavern soul and a foodie heart" is the vision of Nona Blue Modern Tavern, and its wood fire-grilled burgers — certainly among the best burgers in Orlando — do great justice to that tagline. The upscale-casual restaurant prepares its entire menu from fresh ingredients, and creates sauces and dressings in house daily. There are three burgers on the main menu: a veggie burger with an Asian glaze, an all-American cheeseburger with the classic fixings, and a Nona blue burger with crumbled blue cheese and smoked bacon. All come with a side of seasoned fries. Any of Nona's 16 craft beers are a choice accompaniment to any burger as well.

Lake Buena Vista

2878 reviews

An "industrial gothic" theme (i.e., Disney's version of steampunk) plus live evening entertainment by DJs, live bands, stilt walkers, and aerialists characterize The Edison at Disney Springs. The cuisine is classic American, so naturally there's an excellent burger on both the lunch and dinner menus. The Edison burger is a blend of brisket, short rib, and sirloin adorned with artisan cheddar, crispy onions, and smoked bacon, plus special sauce, house-made pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger comes with a side of fries. Note that The Edison becomes a 21-and-older spot after 10 p.m.

11097 reviews

The Boathouse, a waterfront venue at Disney Springs, is both a restaurant and working marina where guests can launch off in Italian-style water taxis, vintage "amphicars," and other quirky watercraft. It's just as enticing to stay put at the restaurant and feast on its surf-and-turf classics. Among them are three burgers: a classic cheeseburger, a barbecue bacon burger topped with creamy coleslaw and pimento cheese, and the Gibsons "sandwich king" award-winning burger with crisp cherry peppers, jalapeno havarti, and spiced mayo. Fresh-cut fries are the standard side. The kids' menu has a burger as well.

Stonewood Grill & Tavern at Heathrow is the only Orlando venue in a popular mid-sized chain of Florida restaurants. The brand specializes in grilled steaks and fresh seafood, with an inviting atmosphere of rustic elegance. An oak-grilled cheeseburger is a highlight of the lengthy menu. It's a half-pound patty of USDA-certified Angus, on a toasted brioche bun with french fries on the side. It features just the classic fixings — lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, but bacon is available as an add-on, as are house and Caesar salads as an extra side.

Sugar Factory - Orlando

I Drive / Sand Lake

4.0

6712 reviews

The Sugar Factory, a buzzworthy national chain with novelty appeal, is famous for its huge goblets of candy-flavored cocktails shrouded in dry ice, as well as lavish sundaes and milkshakes garnished with a candy store's worth of goodies. But The Sugar Factory presents savory stuff too, with brunch, lunch, and dinner menus of brasserie-style cuisine, albeit with nothing subdued about it. Eight monster burgers are piled high with decadent toppings. The big cheesy is doused with mac and cheese, the South Beach flair with chimichurri and sweet plantains, and the waffle breakfast burger with a fried egg, hash browns, country sausage, and gravy, with waffles in the place of a bun. There's a next-level donut burger, which has a grilled cheese sandwich along with a cheeseburger inside a glazed donut. B.Y.O. defibrillator.

I Drive / Sand Lake

695 reviews

Midwest farm fare in huge portions is the signature of Hash House a Go Go, a national chain featured on the Travel Channel's Man v. Food, among other notable accolades. Its stuffed burgers command a large section of both all-day brunch and dinner menus. They comprise two Midwest patties stuffed with a choice of tempting combinations, among them bacon, avocado, and cheddar, roasted red pepper and smoked mozzarella, and even a sauced-up crab cake. All come on a glossy, freshly baked bun piled with lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles, with a steak knife stabbed through like a skewer to hold it all together. The standard side is crispy fries or a salad, but sweet potato fries are available as an upgrade.

Ember - Orlando

$$$$

European

Downtown Orlando

3.9

221 reviews

The downtown Orlando smokehouse Ember specializes in hickory-smoked brisket and cuts of pork, but we think its all-American pub burger is up there with the best burgers in Orlando. It's a USDA choice short rib blend topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The lunch and dinner menus also offer a salmon burger made from fresh Atlantic salmon blended with herbed cream cheese. Diners can enjoy such dishes out on the patio or inside the lively, tavern-inspired dining room and bar, where handcrafted cocktails are a signature.
