ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s juicy, loaded with toppings and can get a little messy. What’s not to love about a burger?
News 6 viewers were asked where they go to get a great burger.
And while many people said their own grill, a few places got repeat votes to top this list.

Teak was mentioned by several people as having great burgers. There’s a location in Maitland and Orlando.

BurgerTen in Daytona Beach was a favorite of a couple of people.
According to News 6 talent, here’s where they go for the best burger in Central Florida.
Julie Broughton: I love BurgerFi on Park Avenue in Winter Park. I always get the cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap with garlic aioli. And if you can’t decide between fries and onion rings, you can get both in the “cry and fry.”
Justin Warmoth: Dubsdread Tap Room in College Park. The College Park Burger comes with bacon, avocado and jack cheese. It always hits the spot after playing 18 holes at Dubsdread Golf Course, especially when paired with a refreshing beer of your choice.
Jamie Seh: I gave up red meat about three years ago but when I get a burger craving, I go with BurgerFi’s Beyond Burger. Love it! Even though it’s made out of plants, it tastes close enough to the real thing. Plus, you get all the messy add-ons (ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, cheese, etc.) BurgerFi is known for. Good stuff.
Lisa Bell: Shake Shack Shackburger in Winter Park. It’s a single or double cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce. I love sitting outside on Lake Killarney or playing shuffleboard (before it was closed due to Covid) then heading to Trader Joe’s afterward so I’m not starving while grocery shopping (never a good idea).
Ginger Gadsden: Grills Lakeside on Orange Blossom Trail has an amazing hurricane burger. It has bacon and it’s juicy.
Erik von Ancken: Burger King!!! There’s nothing like the OG whopper. I used to eat three at a time back in the good ole days.
Mike Holfeld: Backyard Burger is a stand-alone spot in the Altamonte Springs area. The burgers are without question the best in terms of flavor and condiments. My favorite is the Swiss burger with mushrooms. If you have a burger from Backyard Burger you will never go anywhere else.
