I can't tell you the exact year when I finally decided to actually TRY the Burger Barn. I honestly put it off for years, thinking to myself... yeah, sure they're good. It's the only burger place around here! Years have passed, and competition has moved into town... and yet? I'd rather go here for my hamburger crave than anywhere else around. Why? They've never compromised on how they make, wrap or deliver their delicious burgers to you out the window. They are just as delicious today as they were 20-odd years ago when I first tried them and got hooked! How does someplace maintain this? Good management and ownership. Not compromising on quality, ingredients or changing how it has always been done and done right. The same burger I bought from there over 20 years ago is the same delicious burger I buy today. Sure, the prices have gone up, but they have to in order to pay upkeep of your premises, taxes, your staff and the suppliers of everything you have to have in order to run your business. I still remember someone complaining about how much it was for a burger there when they first raised their prices to at least be somewhat competitive with the "Arches" down the street. Look. You can go down there and buy something that someone flipped around, pre-processed somewhat filled with questionable meat or soy protein, loaded with msg and salt, who knows where it all was already made and pre-cooked before it even got there... I've seen the process from start to finish at our Burger Barn. They cook your burger fresh once you order it. If it were made already, it'd be ready for pickup at the window when you pull up to order... sounds like someplace you know? I've got the patience for something fresh, something consistently good and priced a lot cheaper than down the street, considering you're getting so much better quality! So you do you and go wherever you like... me? I'll stick with the best burger in town that's oh so good from the first bite to the very last bit. I thought about that, looking at the bite I had at the end with still plenty of creamy cheese, tons of meat and a few delicious pieces of pickles, onions, lettuce and even a sliver of tomato worked into it! Good to the absolute last bite. It's amazing to me that no one realizes how lucky we are that we have a family owned and mostly run business right here serving quality to our community for how many years now? Anyone know? I'll have to ask them. The window servers may change but the food is always the same goodness it always is. Thank you guys for maintaining your place in our town!! read more

Great Food nice decorations, and interior. Good service overall enjoy the experience.

This is the Mac's of Hawthorne. We biked out on the Hawthorne bike trail, and needed fuel! It was drive-up or walk-up. A few picnic tables to hang out at. Staff was helpful and made good suggestions. Free refills on all drinks! We were there for about half an hour and maybe 30-40 cars cane through!! Burgers were kinda small, but delicious. The onion rings had to have onion powder in the batter!! They were deelish!! Every time I come to Hawthorne, I'll have to stop here for a bite! read more

Burger Barn has been on my radar for a loooong time! I finally made it out to Hawthorne to give them a try. I ordered a cheeseburger (single patty), hubby ordered a supercheeseburger (double patty) and we shared twister fries and onion rings. I thought everything was very simple and tasted good. The serving sizes were on the smaller side but so were the prices. It really felt like an old school burger joint. No frills kind of place. We enjoyed our meal under the trees next to the drive thru. We decided to order a jamocha shake for the drive back. This was very tasty! Thick and rich chocolate/coffee flavor. Highly recommend! read more

I have driven by this little Gem so many times I forgot the count. Today was the day to finally experience Burger Barn, come back from a trip to Tampa the stars finally aligned for me to go through the drive through. I did a quick search of the previous reviews to see what everyone recommended. We went with the Super Cheeseburger/Reg Fries and an order of curl fries, service was quick on accurate. Love the ambiance of the Barn. They did not disappoint, solid Cheeseburger without the high prices in today's world. If they are open for get some food and support them. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

We had heard about a burger Barn prior to this visit but it was always a closed when we went by. So excited to try it. This is a drive through store with some picnic tables in the back if you don't want to eat in your car. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers and onion rings. We got 2 cheeseburgers and fries. As we were already driving on, we decided not to go back and get the correct order. However, the French fries were piping hot and Crispy and well seasoned. Burger was delicious on a soft bun. My only critique is that the lettuce is torn and not 1 big piece. If you are driving it's hard to keep that lettuce on the sandwich. Food was great, prices great. Will stop there again read more

The food was amazing and it was at a great price. The service was great nice staff. And the ambiance it's cozy but doesn't look like it. Over all great place to go to read more

Burger Barn is a Hawthorne staple. People come from all over to eat here. Great burgers and fries.

Certainly better than McDonald's or Burger King. Nice little spot been here for decades.

It's our 2nd time visiting on our way home from NC. We all got a single cheeseburger- all the way add pickles, fries and onion rings to share. One of the best burgers and fries we've had! Their chocolate milkshake is vanilla with chocolate mixed in. It does take a little while to get through the line and can get backed up onto the 301 so be prepared. read more

Burger Barn - Single Cheeseburger- all the way add pickle - Burgers Near Me - Hawthorne, Florida

What a gem! Passed by during a road trip last year, and made a point to stop this time. It's like something out of the past, the drive thru menu is very low tech, and you can barely understand the cashier. However, prices are also out of the past, our order for three of us cost just over $10. My cheeseburger was very basic, but delicious. The fries, however, were so good it left us wondering if they're just ignoring the guidelines banning trans fat or cooking with basic lard. The portion was very large and I could not stop eating them. Minus one star for the borderline rude service on the first visit, Asking for extra pickles was a major ordeal, at first the girl who heard me, just picked up her phone and ignored me, then we asked another girl who acted like we demanded all the cash in the register, finally a third employee handed me a small side of pickles. All was forgiven upon first taste of the food. Of course, we stopped on our way back for more. read more

Super delicious and super fast! We went right after watching What's Eating Gilbert Grape and the kids loved it. We will be back!

Every weekend I go out on the motorcycle and try a new place for lunch. The circle is getting wider and wider and I have to find places further away from home that I haven't been to, and this week it was Hawthorne's turn. Finding Burger Barn isn't so bad if you are on US 301. If you are on Sr 20 you just have to know it is there, because the overpass skips right on by the main drag of town. You've seen Cars, right? Yeah... same thing, but kind of in reverse since the overpass is the minor road. Anyway, Burger Barn is a local burger place that specializes in, well... burgers. You can sort of tell from the name. It is a pretty standard format followed by a number of other burger places in neighboring towns (Alachua has a popular place that is similar, as does Gainesville, and even Trenton has one), right down to the same paper envelops the burgers are put in and the definition of "All the way". I got a pair of doubles and an order of fries, and the price was actually quite good... better than those other places I alluded to above! They make their food to order, so once I ordered I had to wait a good ten minutes or so before my food was ready... but at least then I knew that my food was freshly cooked! I chose to sit at a park bench under an oak tree out back, which turned out to be a bit of a mistake as the area is undergoing caterpillar-geddon right now, with white tussock moth caterpillars all over the place. They get blown off of the branches of the oak trees (they feast on the oak leaves) and can irritate the skin for some folks. Fortunately I am not one of those people, but they are still a nuisance. No fault of Burger Barn, of course... this is nature we are talking about. Burger Barn makes a good burger, and I will be back. read more

On our way back from Anna Maria Island, we saw a line of cars at this place called Burger barn. I proceeded to read the reviews and found them positive so I asked my husband to make a u-turn. We were in line for a total of 15 minutes. We ordered two single cheeseburgers, one double, one triple, a double bacon cheeseburger, 2 shakes, three fries, & a tater tots for a total of $42. This was one of the cheapest meals I've paid for on this trip. Everyone rated the burgers a 9 out of 10. The sauce, a light thousand island. Was just right so the burger was not soggy at all. It was freshly cooked. The fries and tater tots were rated a solid 10 out of 10. Not poor at all and the salt was just right. There were a couple of tables but it was too hot to eat outside so we ate in the car. The burgers were wrapped perfectly so it was not measly to eat. Bookmarked this place just in case we happen to drive this way again. read more

Great burger. We rode our bikes on the Gainesville-Hawthorn trail expecting to eat at our usual Wrap restaurant in Hawthorn. It was closed for Memorial Day so we checked out the Burger Barn. Friendly Service, delicious burger. Will include as a stop for future rides. read more

Pulled into restaurant with three cars ahead of me, waited approximately 3 to 8 minutes and while waiting the menu board where you would typically order food was there however no one greeted me or said please wait a moment or anything to give an indication that the board was actually working I pulled up to the second window and young women asked me if I had ordered I responded no, no one greeted me when I pulled up to the menu board to which they wanted me to go back around and get back in line an additional four cars When I to the women that I would not be getting back in line again their answer was "OK" needless to say I will not be visiting there again read more

We were headed to Jacksonville yesterday and along the way you have to get something to eat. On our small road trip we ran into this gem along the way, the Burger Barn. We weren't sure what to expect but it was assumed to be OK , since there was a line of cars almost into US-301 to get to the drive thru. There was a gentleman who came up to take our order but we'd never been so we had no clue what to order - we got to the DT menu and it was simple , burgers , fries, shakes, soda and a few chicken sandwiches. The toppings are simple. All-the-way = lettuce , tomato, onion, and their special sauce (kind of like a thousand island dressing but not as heavy) You can get bacon and cheese as well. We ordered 1 - cheeseburger (lettuce, sauce) 2 - hamburgers (lettuce, tomato, special sauce) 1 - order of fries 2 - soda ------- The burgers were the perfect size , soft buns , hot thin beef patty's that tasted like they've been cooked on the same seasoned flat top since they opened , very good flavor. The fries were HOT and crispy. If you are a fan of shoestring or skinny "fast-food" fries these are for you. We shared an order of fries and we couldn't finish them btw the 2 of us. Overall the food was worth the stop and it was a fun experience for us to eat at a place we had seen before but never had the opportunity to stop. We'll be back when we make our next trip up to Jacksonville. I want to try the supernatural burger. read more

We were excited to stop by this drive-thru burger joint off Highway 301 after reading about it. Prices are pretty reasonable and these humble burgers are really good for a fast food restaurant. I heard the fish sandwich was good, but it was when I took my first bite when I was convinced about this place. I liked the contrast between the hot crispy fish and the cool tomato and lettuce and onions. A cheeseburger, hamburger, fish sandwich, drink, and curly fries only cost us $19. Not bad. read more

Burger Barn is a must-visit during my drives from Jacksonville to Tampa. The burgers are delicious, the milkshakes are amazing, and there's absolutely a reason why there's always a line. If you ever find yourself in Hawthorne, FL on your way to somewhere else, make this your first stop. read more

There's a reason there's always a line! It may look unassuming, but wow--these burgers, fries, and onion rings are absolutely top-notch. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and consistently amazing every single time. Burger Barn is hands down the highlight of our trips up north multiple times a year!!! You guys ROCK read more

The bacon cheeseburger I had was average as well as the onion rings I bought. Service was good. The drive in could use a good cleaning. I know restaurants get dirty while being used but I could see lots of areas in the drive in that has t been cleaned for some time. Food tasted good but nothing special. I've lived in Florida Orange Lake now for two years and finally tried Burger Barn. I was not impressed and will not try anymore. read more

Right off a main road with easy access. We were pleasantly surprised at how busy this place was but it took no time to get through the line. Both burgers we ordered were made exactly how we requested. The buns were soft but the patties were a bit thin. I was fine with a super cheese burger but my boyfriend said he was still hungry. read more

I have passed this place many times on family road trips, and have joked about going there while at the little playground with my kids. Today was the day we finally stopped and tried a cheeseburger and fries. It is exactly as advertised, delicious and simple and served out of a barn. No frills, great prices, will go again when passing through. A little gem that definitely reminded me of my childhood burger places! read more

Every town needs a Burger Barn. Good hot food at very reasonable prices. We have been passing by this place for over 30 years and finally found time to stop. We ordered a cheeseburger and a chocolate shake. The burger was very tasty. The shake must have had a bit of strawberry in it because it wasn't completely chocolate. No complaints here! Who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries! We will definitely stop by again. read more

03-12-2024 ~ was talked to rudely by Ashlyn, when I called to complain about my order being incorrect. She told me to bring my food all the way back up there so they could fix it. Then called me a bitch when I was going to hang up. read more

For about 5 years now, I have passed The Burger Barn on the way to and from Clearwater. There is always a line down the street. Always wanted to stop and try, but with as many cars in line, never did. Finally this weekend, I met some friends here and we made a day of the place. No dine in seating but 4 nice picnic tables out for you, a couple are shaded and a couple are not. Right on 301 in Hawthorn is the cute red barn that serves you delightful burgers and more. We had a variety of items, the burger, super burger, supernatural burger, fries, tots, onion rings, milk shakes....we did it up. They are quick to cook your order exactly how you want it! MY burger was delicious all the way: sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion...I added pickle for a fantastic meal! My opinion only....the onion rigs were Devine, the tots were good, but the fries lacked a little luster. I wish they would have let them cook a little longer. Let's talk about the shakes.....YUMMY! Nice, smooth, creamy, full of flavor. We got the Vanilla and Strawberry....wanted more! So now I am planning my next trip, I will stop and wait in line if hunger is hanging out with me! I can't wait to try them again! read more

Stopped by on our way home from a local nursery. We had a cheeseburger with fries and a chocolate and a vanilla shake. Everything was great! Staff members were nice and seemed to move the line along smoothly. I would definitely go back. I believe there may have been a sign for an up-charge for using a credit card. I'd bring cash, just in case. read more

Cool little place off the highway. Food is worth the stop. Line goes quick I'll be back

For a quick bite in an area void of very many choices, this was a pleasant surprise. Drive through barn (yes barn!) that has burgers, ham and cheese sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, and a few sides to choose from. Not a huge menu, but the place is tiny so what do you expect?! My teen had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Served on Texas Toast with just the right amount of ham and cheese and grilled well. The hamburgers are small, but they are tasty. They come with their "special sauce" which reminds me of McDonalds Big Mac sauce. The onion rings were hot and crispy, although pretty sure they came out of a freezer bag. Tater tots were what you'd expect from tater tots. Service was quick and you can take it to go or find a spot to park and eat at their picnic tables. We chose the latter to keep the mess out of the car. Is it the best burger I've had? No, but it was good, hot, and fresh and a nice break to sit and have a bite while traveling in the area. read more

So glad I stopped!! AMAZING BURGERS!! You must stop...can easily miss the place. So yummy...might I add FRESH!!! FORGET FAST FOOD IN THAT Area. Open daily till 5pm read more

This place was awesome. No thrills place but really solid for a small business and better burgers than any fast food. They are thinner patties so I recommend at least the super burger (2 patties) or supernatural burger (3 patties). Be sure to get their own custom burger sauce added. Great French fries too! read more

I am sad :( My dad and I had a little trip in Savannah the last few days, and on the drive there we saw burger barn, and excitedly decided we needed to stop there on the drive back. So on our way home, we realize we're getting close to the establishment... And we get there just in time! They close at 5pm and it is 4:40-45. So my dad rushes to the window.... Just to find out they're closed. We live about 2 hours from burger barn so I doubt I will be back anytime soon. Very sad. I am sure the burgers are fantabulous. read more
