    Awesome hamburger
    Michael G.

    Yummy hamburger. Great beer. Relaxing environment. The bar girl was friendly with her open service and just a great place.

    Double Burger with french fries and cookies and cream milkshake
    Alicia J.

    During a special event weekend at Additions Arena, we stopped by Burger U for lunch. The restaurant was busy, but the staff were friendly and service was prompt. I tried the Impossible Burger, and my son had a double patty cheeseburger with a cookies and cream milkshake. Everything was delicious! There was seating inside and outside, so there was no problem finding a table. We'll definitely return the next time we're at UCF!

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich w Fries

    SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 4 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.86 First off let's start with... don't listen to any review that's below a 3 or below. This place is amazing. Streamlined technology to order, and very clean bar and dining area, and the UCF pride with the wonderful sports feel decor is everything a campus bar/restaurant needs! Order, grab a number, a seat and enjoy the atmosphere of the college life. They have a decent size menu that most anyone can order from. I've eaten the bacon lovers burger and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were cooked perfectly and they were very good. Highly recommend grilling the buns but that's just my personal preference :). They have a full bar with a very large selection of drafts. Overall, I was expecting much worse considering the negative reviews, but clearly some people only want to write a review when something is negative with just half the context. That being said, even if the food was worse than fast food, it would still be better overall, but luckily it's decent food for the price value. Definitely worth the trip if you're into sports and bar food!

    Beach Bum double burger, tater tots

    Stopped here for lunch while waiting for the rain to pass. The ambiance was the right setting so I could do some work, and, conveniently, not too far from my clssses. The burger patties were delicious and kind of similar to a "smash burger". It also tasted better than the typical chain fast food burger. Maybe I will do the fries next time.

    This is a great source of affordable bar food in the UCF area - while I enjoyed the mahi sandwich, my friends shared burgers, wings, and sides. I wish there was more than one combo option for drink and fry add-ons; however, it's becoming more common for menu items to be separated this way and keeps the sandwich prices a little lower. We all spent $10 or less. Burger U also hosts weekly trivia nights on Tuesdays. I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard it's a lot of fun and hope to go soon!

    Chicken tenders
    Amy C.

    Stopped by for a quick snack while hanging around ucf area. Ordered chicken tenders and fries. Tenders were nice and juicy. We sat outside. Sports bar like. It was nice and quiet on a Saturday afternoon. You order your food and get seated. When your food is ready they bring it to you. Cool place for a bite and to hang out.

    4 Stars for some surprising elements (sauces made from scratch), a pretty darn good chicken sandwich, and garlic fries that are so good you won't mind people crossing the street to get away from your stench. You order (and pay) at a counter prior to finding a seat in the pretty big restaurant. We were shocked by how dead it was on a Saturday night, but I imagine it's nuts on a game day or before a big event. Things I loved: - The chicken sandwich comes on buttered, toasted sourdough bread. It's decadent, will leave your fingers dripping, and flippin' amazing. The chicken is grilled but still moist and it comes with lettuce and tomato slices. It's definitely a dish I'd repeat! - They make their chips in house and it comes with your choice of dipping sauces. I was beyond surprised and excited to hear that the sauces were made from scratch as well. The chips were crispy and dang, the honey mustard and ranch sauces were on point! - two words. Garlic. Fries. The fries are good in their own (crispy and cut in house), but slathered in a green garlic sauce they are absolutely irresistible. Order them. You'll thank me later. What was "meh": - I was considering the veggie burger but thought it was odd that they'd have house-made chips, all sauces from scratch, and yet they don't make their own veggie burger patties. Seems like a waist to get homemade sides and a frozen veggie burger. I didn't end up ordering it. - I tried my friend's burger and it was cooked to a perfect Medium, but it was pretty small and lonely without a side. All in all, this is a great option while on campus and perfectly situated across from The Pop Parlour for a local, fun dessert!

    Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

    Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

    Taste: 4/5 Value:…read more4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty solid burger spot that, as the name suggests, lets you fully customize your burger. They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

    I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

    I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
