Joe Hubbs came in strong out of the gate and said his favorite burger comes from his own kitchen.

“I make great burgers (or) so I’m told,” he said.

Some of the fast-food options that received a vote include Krystal, Sonic, Steak ‘n Shake and Culvers.

At a slightly higher price point, Five Guys received three votes from our Insiders.

“The burgers are really good and juicy. They have many toppings and the hand-cut fries are to die for,” said Insider Trisha Clements.

Back Yard Burger in Altamonte Springs also received three votes from Insiders.

“The closet thing to a burger from your own backyard grill,” said Insider Kenneth Rogers.

Along the same lines, BurgerFi and Mooyah also got nods.

Chain restaurants also featured prominently on the list, including Bar Louie, Ford’s Garage, Hamburger Mary’s, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, Johnny Rockets, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin and Chili’s.

Only a few locally-owned restaurants received more than one vote for best burger. First up, Teak Neighborhood Grill.

“They have a variety of meaty juicy burgers,” said Insider Joseph Shore-Goss. “Be sure to ask for the secret menu!”

Another Insider favorite is Brix Project at Playalinda Brewing Company.

“It’s the Brix Burger,” said Insider Deborah Pauly. “(A) burger with brisket on top (and) crispy onion bacon jam — need I go on?”

Johnny’s Fillin’ Station got three votes.

“Big burgers and amazing flavor,” said Insider Scott Smith.

Last, but not least, Breakers.

“A true burger, juicy and greasy. Like a diner burger,” said Insider Kathy Henderson.
