I ordered the double with no substitutions and a side of fresh-cut fries. The burger was outstanding, and the sauce really elevated the flavor. It's easily the best smashburger I've had in Pensacola so far. The location is fantastic, especially with the outdoor seating option attached to a bar. The chef was friendly and the service was fast. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was told this was one of the best places to have a burger. I'm afraid it fell short of that description. It was good, and cooked to order. I'm happy I tried it, but it isn't something I need to have again. The staff was very friendly. read more

Proper Burger - 1 small Tiny tomato slice - Burgers Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Such a cool setup. Proper Burger runs as a food truck behind a record store on Palafox, and the whole shared space (bar included) creates a great hangout vibe. Our burgers were fresh and made to order (so give them a few minutes), and everything tasted great. Prices are a little higher, but the quality and atmosphere make it an easy "yes." Grab a burger here and a drink from the record store bar as you won't regret it. read more

Listen... I didn't know a fried bologna sandwich could change my life, but Proper Burger proved me wrong. That proper sauce? Addictive. The thick tomato? Juicy like it came straight from a garden commercial. The fresh lettuce? So crisp it should've come with its own sound effect. I'm thankful for great customer service that recommended this awesomeness! The outdoor courtyard seating area is basically where burgers go to be eaten in style -- super chill and way nicer than I deserve after inhaling a sandwich that fast. And the free parking lot right next door? That's the real MVP. Proper Burger isn't just food, it's an experience. 10/10 would risk stretching my waistline again. read more

The outside atmosphere was nice; unfortunately the food wasn't. Not being too hungry we got the mini-burger with cheese and seasoned fries. The meat was overcooked and dry, resembling a thin hockey puck. The seasoning on the fries was fairly good but the fries were undercooked and soft. Possibly a decent place but our experience was less than satisfactory read more

Chris and the crew rock it every single time. My favorite burger spot in town! Best of the best

Review: Misleading, Poor Quality, and Unprofessional Rating: I wish I had checked the reviews before wasting $30 here. There are several significant issues that future patrons should be aware of: Misleading Listing First, be aware that this is not a brick-and-mortar restaurant as suggested on Apple and Google Maps; it is a food truck parked at an outdoor bar. Unprofessional Service The service was unnecessarily hostile. My wife asked a simple question about whether the fried chicken breading was thick or thin due to her dietary restrictions. The cook (who was not wearing a beard hair net) snapped at her in an irritated tone, stating he "didn't know how to answer that." It was a bizarrely rude response to a standard customer inquiry, especially since the venue was empty at the time. Food Quality & Pricing The food was a major disappointment for the price: The Burger: A basic smash patty topped with the "butt ends" of iceberg lettuce. Grilled Chicken: Dry, tough, and had a faint sulfur-like odor, suggesting it was nearing expiration. Pricing: Beyond being overpriced, the bill included the sales tax, a credit card fee, and a second "mystery fee" that was never explained. Atmosphere The environment was uncomfortable and felt unprofessional. The music being blasted contained explicit, aggressive lyrics about violence toward women, which caused another family with small children to leave immediately. Additionally, the bartenders appeared to be drinking on the job. Verdict: Between the poor hygiene standards, the rude staff, and the questionable food quality, I cannot recommend this place. As other reviewers have noted, the quality is barely fit for a pet. read more

Proper Burger is located behind Vinyl Music with outside bar on Garden Street. What is so special about this burger? Well it's a smashed burger. Believe it or not, even when smashed it was still juicy. Served in a brioche bun, is what makes their burger tasty. The burger is perfectly seasoned with slight crisp texture and juicy. Smashed burger seems to be the recent trend; although, Steak and Shake and Culver's with their butter smashed burger has been around. Proper Burger tastes better. Is it worth $9 for a single? I will leave that to you. $3 extra for the half a tray of waffle fries. A can of soda was over $2. I guess from a single burger, fries and can of soda is about $15. Service is simple, not full service. You order as if ordering from a food struck. They give you a beeper and will buzz you when your order is ready. It's not a full service restaurant and during check out they suggest a tip with their touch pad Point of Sale system. I still have a slight issue with non full service restaurant suggesting a 15% - 25%. To me, it's a big turn off. I did give in and gave a 20%. Is it well deserve? No. Is it a deterrent for me to come back in the future? Definitely. Especially when Ketchup, Mayonnaise, and Mustard are served on a side in single packets. For this, I gave them 3 stars instead of 4. When you expect a tip, you better give full service. For this they lost a star. It's a cute little pocket to hang out when it's a nice day outside. read more

This is the burger spot for Pensacola. Great little outdoor venue. When I say outdoor, I mean there isn't an indoor. If your looking for some AC, you will not find it here. You order at the food truck on one side of the property and the bar is on the other side. They have a full bar with multiple TVs for your sports viewing pleasure. They also have a small section to play bags if it's available. Now let's talk burgers. You have 4 options. Single, double, green chili and Hawaiian. I had the double with all the fixings. Obviously they use a high quality beef which you can taste with each bite. They also have some tallow fries which are fantastic. read more

I wish I would have taken photos - but the burger was so good - it didn't last long enough!! Seriously this may be my favorite burger in Pensacola! It's was looking for a dang good smash burger and Proper Burger delivered! Located in a permanent food-truck location off of Palafox, this restaurant offers outdoor seating and fun atmosphere. There is also a bar in the same courtyard serving all your favorites. Service was friendly, the menu was easy to follow, and did I mention the crazy-good burger!! Go get you a "Proper Burger!" read more

I can't stop thinking about this double smash burger all the way, with waffle fries and their proper dipping sauce. Run, don't walk to this food truck. It's seriously one of the best I've ever had. read more

Their smash style burgers slap, especially with shrooms and onions. The tallow fries are also delicious. I highly recommend. Outdoor environment, bar and service we're all excellent as well. read more

Excellent burger! Give this place a try it's small next to a bar so the best of both worlds. I had the single with everything and fries. The burger was cook perfect, I had a single and it was just right. The fries are seasoned a half basket is food for 2 people. It's a food truck and the seating is outside. The service was quick but, I was the only one eating. Must try will definitely come back. read more

I was optimistic about trying Proper Burger, but first the music was so loud that I found it uninviting, so I took it home. I tipped the obligatory 20% although was -0- service, just a lady in a food truck. The fries were good while hot on the drive but limp and soggy after I got home (15 min drive). I did not like the burger at all and threw it away after a few bites. I especially didn't like the sweet pickles instead of dill. I neglected to ask for cheese but wish they'd had cheddar, instead of American cheese. I didn't like the sauce and I can't exactly put my finger on what else was unappealing but I didn't care for it. read more

My wife and I tried to stop in for a bite and a cocktail but we were not welcomed! We were just looking for a chill afternoon. We had our son with us and he wanted pizza so we picked up a slice at Papas pizza across the street (delicious btw!) and walked over. We were checking out the food truck menu and someone came over and told us we'd have to leave since we couldn't bring pizza in. We tried to explain the pizza (one slice!) was for our son and we were going to order burgers but all we got in response was a blunt and rude you cant bring pizza in. So we left and went to Perfect Plain and had a great afternoon! Perfect Plain and Papa's pizza will get our business from now on! We wont be back to Proper Burger. It's a food truck for Pete's sake! Can't bring pizza...lol! unbelievable! DEFINITELY not kid friendly! read more

Came with my boyfriend yesterday, been throwing up since 5am . 100% have food poisoning, i've ever been this sick in my life .

We ordered online. When we arrived, the guy was sitting outside on his tablet by the fan. Told him we were picking up an online order and he said it would be a few minutes. We got our order about 10 minutes later and headed home. This was a WASTE of $35! The burgers aren't even edible, they are burnt, dried out and just a big disappointment. I unfortunately don't live close enough to go back and ask for him to attempt to make them again or give me a refund. Sadly you've lost a customer. read more

Horror show. Techno BS DJ absolutely sucks. Not one customer is happy. No thanks! Adding characters to make the review complete and this music is horrific. Good drinks though. Cueing up for a real show and my ear is bleeding in this place. read more

Saturday in December, no college football games in the way.........what to do? Time to go get into something! Our something today was Proper Burger and B Side! I really haven't been hearing any noise about or from Proper Burger, but we thought it was a nice enough day to get outside and enjoy the winter weather here in Pensacola. It was 77 degrees and partly cloudy, perfect! We each ordered a burger and the three of us shared a full order of fries and believe me there was plenty! I went with a Double Proper Burger with bacon, all the way except for the sauce. I asked for it to be on the side. Helen did a single with jalapenos and our friend asked for a single, no veggies and added bacon. Our order came out reasonably quickly and it was perfectly correct. Nice start! How was it? There were zero complaints from me or the ladies. The fries are very good and well seasoned. As eluded to above, it's a huge order too. My burger was properly cooked with a great char, and it too was properly seasoned. It is a very flavorful burger. It has the right cheese and lettuce for burgers, American and iceberg respectfully. Unfortunately there was no option for mustard and mayonnaise. I do respect the burger culture of each place we go and I try to order their burger the way they make it, at least for my first try, and sauce on the side is a safe way to go until I know what the sauce is, and what it tastes like. Theirs is super good, reminds me of comeback sauces I have had elsewhere. The atmosphere here at B Side is fantastic. They had a DJ and he was playing some instrumental music that was perfect, and it was at a volume that allowed you to hear your friends. It is situated on Garden Street, so easy to people watch in our new busy downtown. The cocktails were inventive, tasty and strong. More on B Side later. This was a great way to spend a couple of hours lazing away a Saturday afternoon and leave with our bellies full. How does Proper Burger stand up to the competition? I'd say top five in Pensacola. It doesn't beat Brown Bagger which may be the undisputed champion here in P'Cola, but the atmosphere here is a level up from Alga. read more

GREAT food and very KID FRIENDLY!!! My wife and I agreed that this could have been the best cheeseburger we have ever eaten. They have a kid's meal with fries for only $8. Jenga blocks and corn hole are setup right next to the DJ who played Baby Shark and The Hokie Pokie for us about 10 times a piece! The bartender dude even put on the Disney Channel for the kids so they could enjoy a few episodes of Bluey while they enjoyed their kid's meals. I highly recommend having your child's birthday party here. The bouncer at the gate said he even does balloon animals for tips! Make sure to ask the bartender for extra cherry in your Shirley Temple! This place sure loves kids!! read more

Excellent location, atmosphere, good and friendly service. Said that they made the worst burgers and fries I ever had.

I've lived in Pensacola 10 years this is the best burger in town. The waffle fries are incredible and the smash burger doesn't disappoint, hearty from scratch. Like a 5 guys burger but better. Very satisfying read more

The name says it all: it's a PROPER burger. Perfect smash-burger patty, delicious bun, simple toppings, seasoned fries with a few different dipping sauces available. Thankfully downtown has a place to go and get a meal like this, reasonably priced and a step above Whataburger B Side, with its bar and courtyard, are a great outdoor vibe for any day of the week! read more

Food is great. Music is way too loud for 6:00 dinner. You cannot have a conversation with anyone.

Just NO. Outside no ambiance, no table service. Pickup your $10 beer in a can from the bar, no beer glasses available. Burgers are paper thin overcooked, just NO. If you want a nice outdoor venue with drinks and food this is not the place.......you guys suck and why is there a bouncer at the entrance? Outstanding burgers where at Tim Cow and Kingfisher's read more

Delicious burgers and fries, fast and fresh. Can't wait to go back! Staff was friendly as well.

Best burgers in Pensacola! As well as great drinks at bside. One of my favorites spots to hangout. Definitely recommend!

Very Excited reading all the vegan, vegetarian menu option on the Proper Burger downtown web site. Many items that looked very appealing. The large unique healthy menu shown on the web site was the reason we drove Downtown Pensacola Proper Burger at the vinyl music venue only to have the worst experience. The menu on the web site did Not resemble in any way what we found. Instead of the dozens of Health eating options, we found a closed food truck with Nothing. and the menu shown was Nothing like what is shown on the web site of Proper Burger. I ask the person in the food truck if that had any of the option and the answer was " all we have is a black bean burger and we are out of those". No other food available. There was a sign on the window that said " will return at 2:30", which was crossed out, followed by 3:00, which was crossed out, followed by 3:30. Not the web site menu, and Not open. All this with an outdoor seating area and Bar FULL of people wanting food as this was at a large outdoor event. Who ever at the Vinyl Music Venue or in charge of the Proper Burger menu / web site needs to be replaced. zero food, zero staff, zero dollars being spent in an outdoor food truck surrounded by hundreds of people. Most food trucks would die for such a location. This empty food truck with a fake online menu is just a shell taking up space. We will warn our locals to avoid and will never return. read more
