If you're considering anything from number 4, then you haven't eaten enough South Florida burgers.

[Chompy @chompytimeline]

@NolesNews @RealJorgeSBeach @BurgerBeast @MendezFuel @EmpanadaHarrys 1. Gramps Getaway
2. Over Under
3. Off Site (now No Seasons)
4. Maybe the McLala at Lala’s?

Don’t have a clear #5 yet, a lot of contenders. But feel strongly about 1-3.

Pizza Hut is bringing back red cups, salad bars, checkered tablecloths, and the classic dine-in experience.

What is Pizza Hut Classic? Where can you find one?

I believe that in the 1930s, White Castle's small smashed balls of beef with onions on a soft squishy bun arrived in Cuba and evolved into the frita.

[Alberto de la Cruz @albertodelacruz]

@BurgerBeast Growing up in Little Havana I never considered the frita to be a burger. A burger is a burger (and I ate plenty of those and loved them), but a frita is a frita.

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

Based on my research, it’s Cuba’s answer to the 🍔. The Frita is also considered one of the Regional Burger Speciaties that make up the U.S. So my final answer is yes, but I also believe that it’s much more than “just” a burger.

1 thing that my father taught me very young in business is use your trusted sources, delegate accordingly or other great business leaders will crush U like a grape. So, I'm calling into the bullpen here & getting my Ace out 4 this question. @BurgerBeast Sef, is a Frita a Burger?

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

That one caught me by surprise.

[Miami Mando 🙌 @LakersCanes305]

@RealJorgeSBeach @BurgerBeast I just bookmarked this. That bunology eatery sandwich Woahhhhhhhhhhh

[J's Burgers & Baseball (Food & Sports Historian} @RealJorgeSBeach]

@daddywinemiller @Amazingeye6 The best burger in South, FL bar none is a @BurgerBeast double cheeseburger using his 1950's Luncheonette blend at his Pop Ups. Number 2 is Jack's Old Fashioned in Fort Lauderdale. I'm not into pseudo crap additions, just bring UR fresh blend well seasoned, cheese & bun.

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

Chef Justin is the best. He had to close down his Doce Provisions in Little Havana when he landed that gig.

[Miami Mando 🙌 @LakersCanes305]

It closed down for 5 years. But a little more than a year ago it’s back. Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale. Live show and I gotta say the food was OUTSTANDING place!!! Let’s head on home @mgav18

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

Before the food halls, there were food trucks.

My Miami Food Truck Guide covers the trucks worth tracking down, where to find them, and the story of how Miami became a food truck city.

those were the days

[lu @micomico121212]

@BurgerBeast When we moved to what was then considered the hinterlands in Miami, one comiseration we were told was that car insurance prices were lower out west. I remember 127th avenue as the beginning of wilderness, no buildings

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

Might go try it today, will keep you posted.

[J's Burgers & Baseball (Food & Sports Historian} @RealJorgeSBeach]

@BurgerBeast Arbetter, Frankies, El Rey and your farms Stores also serves soft serve? Jesus Christ bro. You Westchester people have been flexing since I wore short pants to school as a boy. Soft serve within an authentic Farm Stores combined in 2026, Good Lord.

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

The one by me now has soft serve.

[J's Burgers & Baseball (Food & Sports Historian} @RealJorgeSBeach]

Yes, can I get 2 bags of powdered donuts and a gallon of Banana Ice Cream?

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

Hell yeah!

Thank you and Happy National Burger Day!

@BurgerBeast Papo, the last several months you have elevated your writing once again. Not that it was slacking 1 bit since your only real competition is you. However I think 2 months ago you started adding crushed Cialis to your morning cortadito oscuro. Estas Tirando por la tiza.

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

It’s been a bit since I’ve been to Diana.

[Big Cheese @fonzodad]

@BurgerBeast Glad to see Lucerne on here,slept on lil bakery w there “different” take on pastelito de guayaba y queso and pan polaco (forget about it). Would’ve liked to seen Diana on there,another slept on gem in Little Havana. Good job Beast!

[Burger Beast @BurgerBeast]

It's mentioned. This is not a list, it's guide to inform folks about what is out there.

[DS @UMfootball]

@Hurrrikane @BurgerBeast @LakersCanes305 Honestly, top three in Miami for me. Makes me not take this list seriously.

[LauraEnAmerica @LauraLuvvv]

This was the perfect morning commute read.

Now I just need to take my ass home and get pastelitos de guayaba ASAP

[Armando Ibarra @aibarra]

If you haven’t been to at least a third of these bakeries then you aren’t a Miamian, you’re just passing through.

[Anna @Anna_bythecoast]

@BurgerBeast Great list! For a few years I lived in west Dade. The bread in casa potin was always so fresh sometimes you had to wait for it to come out of the oven. Pinecrest now has a pastelito de coco y queso that’s to die for. Everyone knows the best croquetas are from Islas Canarias.
