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!

Oh. My. God. The food is INSANE! The atmosphere is very fun and definitely what you would expect on a university campus. I ordered the grilled wings, which came with bleu cheese on the side. Shawn opted for their special burger: chicken breasts, burger patty and cheese, fried egg & veggies, sandwiched in between 2 thick, buttermilk waffles. It looked and smelled delicious, and will probably cause a heart attack, but he finished it & placed it in his top 3 burgers he has ever had. They give you a LOT of food for the price, the waitress is very attentive bringing us utensils, refills, and checking to make sure we had all we needed. We will definitely return!

I absolutely loved my experience at The Whiskey. I sat at the bar, and the bar tender was very…read morehelpful and attentive. From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

I went Friday night at about 8pm and was able to find seating at the bar instantly. I ordered a…read moredrink called the Black Apple and it was delicious and decently sized. You can tell there was fresh fruit in it by the blackberry pieces in the drink. For my entree, I ordered The Royal and this was actually one of the best burgers I've had in my life. It was so juicy and flavorful, everything in the burger worked together. The house fries were crispy and tasty. The service itself was excellent and food and drinks came out quickly. Loved the vibes too. Next time I go will definitely be to catch the live music. I've already recommended this place to friends.

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 ordered a brat with mustard and sauerkraut, paired with sweet potato tots, and it was exactly what I needed for a mid-to-late evening bite. The brat hit the spot--simple, satisfying, and done right. The sweet potato tots were surprisingly memorable: petite, crispy, light, and not overly greasy. It was a simple occasion, but the menu definitely left me curious. There's enough variety there that I'll need to come back and explore more. Sometimes you don't need fine dining--you just need the right food at the right time. The Classic delivered.

Your food is cooked to order and everything comes out to perfection. The location reminds me of the diner that in HIMYM's episode with the perfect burger. That's ironic because it's the reason I popped in here for the first time. After seeing several people have a burger one night, it became a much needed experience for me. The burger came out delicious. You have to add the house sauce to it. You won't regret it. The tenders are so crispy but maintain all their juiciness as well. As I write this review, I'm seriously considering going back for one or both. Nonetheless, go give it a try. There is an added bonus that the bar next door allows you to eat your food there and have a beverage or two.
