Went there for the 1st time last night. The Classic burger was cooked perfectly and juicy. Hand cut fries were very good. And you have to try their yummy milkshakes! They have a sundae bar with so many toppings to choose from. They also have a bar. Oh and the corvette, motorcycle and diner vibe made it a fun place to go to! And there is a life size Elvis . All in all, Delicious and a fun place to go to. We'll be back read more

The good: We love Cheeburger! Been coming here with my family for years when we're on Sanibel. The food is very good and the service is quick. Today it was three of us and John was our server, he is very good, very knowledgeable and attentive. Areas that need work:: the hostess could have been much friendlier, she barely smiled at us when we walked in and didn't look too happy to be working there. Maybe she was having a bad day but first impressions say a lot especially in a restaurant. The women's bathroom needs to be cleaned/ upgraded. read more

Cheeburger Cheeburger - View out the dining room - Burgers Near Me - Sanibel Island, Florida

Not use at all. We are here in the off season though. I got the islander burger. 1/3 pound with pineapple, bacon and teriyaki sauce. All that on a toasted bun. Lisa got the novice burger with pickles. Ketchup and mustard are on the tables. I also got the fries/onion ring combo. The single said it fed one person so I got the double. Holy Crap! That's alot of fries and onion rings. Both were very good. Prices seemed reasonable especially considering you're on an island that charges a toll to cross the bridge. Interior reminds me of a 60's drive in. The windows lean outward at the top. Pink and real are the colors of the day with chrome and vinyl seating. read more

YUMMY! I haven't been to a Cheeburger in YEARS! I visited a Cheeburger once while traveling in Tennessee. I remember being a teenager & being in love with this place. I remember loving the taste of food, the decor, the shakes! When I found myself on Sanibel & hungry before we headed home I used trusty Yelp for a suggestion & there is was! Cheeburger Cheeburger! I called ahead & ordered to-go. They did not disappoint, I walked in, they began to make the shakes we ordered & the food was ready shortly thereafter. Their Oreo (cookies & cream) shake as well as their traditional chocolate shake were so good! The shakes come in 2 sizes, a kids size which is small & some where around 2.60+/- & the large that is around 6+. My daughter & I split the serious burger with the works. We asked them to cut it in half & they did without an issue. We ordered fries & onion rings, so both of us having a burger would have been too much. We ended up sharing the onion ring & fries with our friends. They had a serious burger & a western burger (all 8oz before cooking). They hadn't been there ever & they loved it too. The staff was so so nice, they were patient & kind no matter how many things I asked for or changed my mind about while taking my order. I love this place & I am happy I know one is not tooooo far from me. It tastes as good as I remember. :) read more

To be honest we originally ate here in 1993 when they were at their old location and it made a good impression on my then young family. We came down now with a grandchild and decided to see if it was on par with our memories. Happy to report that it held up very well the "new" digs are a step up and the food and service were a-ok. I had the semi-serious which is a 1/3 pound of seasoned ground beef....a huge patty for sure. The toppings/ sauces are all to order which makes for some really good eating. We had a fried food sampler that had fried mushrooms, pickles, and onion. This is a good place to go when a darn good burger is needed. read more

Loved this restaurant burgers were delicious, onion rings were tasty!! Ambiance is very FL Kitsch. With a 50's vibe Service was great , chocolate shake was really good too read more

This is hands down the best burger place I've had, EVER! Ordering is simple, pick your size burger, your bun, your cheese, then your toppings and sauce. SIMPLE! They have every topping you could imagine, even peanut butter. My husband tried it on his burger and loved it. I highly suggest the best of both worlds fry/onion ring basket, perfect pairing to your burger. To finish out your meal you e got to try their milkshakes, so many combinations and the chocolate Oreo is yummy! If you're brave you can try to take their burger eating challenge, which is a pound burger patty, fries, and a milkshake. Finish it all and get free t-shirt. read more

YES YES YES! I have been coming to Sanibel for over 15 years and Cheeburger Cheeburger is a MUST. The burgers never disappoint and are always consistent. The aura of the place is so fun, they even have a pound burger challenge that is super difficult but if you can do it you get a super cute picture put up and the restaurant cheers. This place is very fun, definitely recommend. read more

Cheeburger Cheeburger - Semi-serious burger with american cheese, lettuce, tomato, chopped garlic, jalapenos, and pickles - Burgers Near Me - Sanibel Island, Florida

Way over Overpriced. The quality of the food we found to be very Bland. Restaurant needed a good cleaning it was greasy and grimy.

My husband and I were pretty excited to come here and were unfortunately very disappointed. We got Buffalo chicken appetizers and after eating most of them absentmindedly, we noticed the last one was incredibly raw. Since I'm pregnant, I had to go to the bathroom and make myself throw up to avoid harming my baby. On top of that, they got my husband's order wrong, which by itself Isn't a big deal but raw chicken and a wrong order can piss anyone off. They gave us the chicken for free and free sodas, which to be honest doesn't feel like it makes up for forcing myself to vomit in a public restroom to avoid literally poisoning my baby. The only reason I'm giving it two stars was because the overall aesthetic of the place was wicked cute, our waitress was very sweet, and their onion rings are good. But to be honest I wouldn't recommend this place. There's plenty of other restaurants on Sanibel that probably won't give you raw chicken. Edit - my husband, who has a very strong stomach, just vomited about 15 minutes after we left. Changed to one star. Don't go here. read more

30-minute wait with SEVERAL open tables at 2:28 in the afternoon. Ownership should take a look at all the bad reviews and understand that they need to do better. Meanwhile, we'll take our business to a place that hires an appropriate number of servers. Here we come, Giraffe! read more

I've been coming to Cheeburger for years with my family and friends. I love the old school, retro vibe of the decor in the restaurant. I got fried pickles as an appetizer, and they were good, but I wish they were a little crispier and had less breading. As a drink, I had a peanut butter and Oreo milkshake, which was amazing. I then customized my own Semi-Serious sized burger. It tasted good, however I asked for it to be cooked medium, and all the burgers looked to be well-done instead. Last but not least, our server was nice and accommodated our large party of people. If my burger was cooked medium and the fried pickles were crispier, it would've been five stars! read more

Alot of good burger choices that we all enjoyed. Fried mushrooms were excellent. My son attempted and succeeded the one pounder challenge. It was fun watching him try to get the 1lb burger fries and shake down without exploding. read more

If you're from Chicago you'll notice a similarity to a spot in the city. It was rainy and they had a big lunch rush so service was slow but our server was very apologetic. We ordered a side of fried portobello mushrooms. Very good!! They have a huge selection of burger choices and you can build your own or chose from a handful of specialty burgers. Now one of my pet peeves is going to a burger joint and getting a frozen burger patty cooked on a grill! This place did not do that!!!!!!! It was so good I'm not sure I'll order a burger again until I can go back!! So much flavor! You can tell it was handmade into the patty. And they have fresh cut fries! I haven't had fries like that since I was a teenager at little Louise's in northbrook! I wasn't in the mood for a burger so I'm glad my man wanted to check it out. Hopefully the staff issue was just an issue that day cause that place was awesome! read more

Burgers and shakes are amazing!!! Free toppings on the burger and you can add as many things in your shake/malt as you want.

I went here 12 years ago, and haven't forgot about it. I knew that the next time I went to Sanibel, I would have to stop at Cheeburger Cheeburger. I got a cheeseburger (of course) with fries and onion rings. I also got a milkshake. Food was good, waitstaff were quick, and the restaurant was clean including the bathrooms. read more

Cheeburger cheeburger should make everyone smile. They truly are in living 1950s theme with the decor, but their waitresses use tablets to take orders since there's so many options. Just makes you chuckle. Started off with fries for the table with cheese, bacon and ranch. YUM! Our waitress Lisa was awesome, and helped us make our burger creations. Literally, millions of variations to choose from... AHHH! I got a veggie burger with lots of veggies and GF bun, and my dad got a burger with GF bun bacon, honey mustard and cheese. My husband though - Lisa help him make QUITE THE CREATION. PEANUT BUTTEER, BACON, and CHEDDAR CHEESE. We all loved our meals - even my husbands off ball creation. They had so many choices and many of the toppings were free. I didn't think the burgers were overpriced at all compared to similar burger places. If you are looking for some cheap, lower quality burgers - there's a DQ on the island. As if fries and burgers weren't enough - we finished off with milkshakes and rolled home across he causeways. I'd highly suggest!! We sat right down, but went in October in off-season. Pays to live down here in the off-season! But it's a quick eat so I imagine tables move quickly during season. Don't miss this one. read more

I love this place!! 50's retro theme complete with oldies music and Elvis, James Dean, and Marilyn decor. The inside is a super cool round shaped building that is just fun. We stopped in literally 20 minutes before they closed, not realizing they closed so early. They were so nice and said it was totally fine, and and not once did they make us feel rushed. This place is awesome because of the endless free burger toppings. I will say it does cost slightly more for caramelized onions, and mushrooms, and bacon, but regardless, it's not very much and there are so many other free options (including coleslaw!). I paid extra for bacon, which was thick, crispy and delicious. I also got peanut butter, pickled jalapeno, and mayo(all free). I know this combo sounds cray cray, but it was effing delicious!!! A small platter of fries will feed 4 people easily, and they are pretty cheap. We tried a couple dipping sauces, marshmallow and nacho cheese (we had sweet potato fries too). The marshmallow had a weird cinnamon taste and odd texture. The cheese was neon. So, both of those were a no go and I would say completely unnecessary anyway. Every time I come to Sanibel/Captiva, this is a must stop, and I can probably only say that about 2 other restaurants between the two islands. read more

Good food, good service, good atmosphere, kid friendly, nice challenge and reasonably priced especially for Sanibel Island. We crushed the Pounder Challenge and my vegetarian wife even liked her wrap. It's a franchise that does it right. It must be a law that if you ask for a medium cooked burger you will get it well done. We split a large basket of fries and onion rings which was more than enough for a table of six with two kids. read more

Excellent service from the time we walked in. Hostess was bubbly and asked us where we were from and seemed genuine when she asked us about Ohio. Waitress was friendly and very attentive. I had the Bleu Buffalo burger and onion rings. My husband and daughter built their own burgers. Mine was the best burger I've ever had. The seasoning they use on the burger is so good. The onion rings were thin (but not like onion straws) and the batter on them was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Cheeburger cheeburger is a signature place to eat in our annual Captiva trip. The shakes are amazing!

Sanibels Secret! This old fashioned nostalgic diner is tucked away on Periwinkle in a corner shopping mall. From the outside it's plain but filled with magic inside. It's in the Tahitian Garden shopping center. I was unsure what door was the right since there's no sign- (owner if you read this- posting Food photos on the door with sign would help tourists immensely.) BUT LET ME TELL YOU YELPERS!!!! GO HERE!!! The food was spectacular! They have transformed this bland outside into an amazing 1950's experience and you get amazing food and service. I got a cheeseburger- identical to the menu photo with a one person side of fries and onion rings that my husband and I easily shared. The price is right and the food...did I mention how good the food is hahah. Go here guys- it won't disappoint. read more

Very popular, but perhaps over-rated since not as many others seem oriented to families. We went late (230) to avoid the crowds; Waiter said that kitchen wouldn't customize when its busy - even though NOT crowded at the time (ok they already customize most items) Hamburgers were very good; but both my items were not - a turkey burger tasted frozen & re-cooked or just not flavored; and the beverage got wrong - but said "that was how they did it" Tipped well because waiter fixed all problems quickly and tried hard - but not sure if he or the kitchen caused the many errors. But in the end, the food was not more than a 3 read more

Had dinner here on our trip to Sanibel. You can build your own burger with many choices. We both decided to go with one of the favorites. I got the Bleu Buffalo which was amazing!! It was messy so I used my fork to keep from getting the buffalo sauce on my top. My sister had the Fiesta burger and loved it. It was also very messy so she used a fork as well. We also got the double basket with fries and onion rings. Both were good and it was plenty for both of us. They were practicing safe distancing by spacing out customers but it was not very busy as we ate pretty early. All employ had masks. read more

This was not a bad spot. Wait was under 15 minutes, service was awesome. I loved how they brought the drinks im a jar, made it seem more refreshing for some reason. Haha. They also had these cards to play and kill time on the table. My family and I had a good time with those. What I really like is that you can order your burger whatever size you want. I got the normal 7oz, I figured I wouldnt be able to handle anything more but my mom and stepdad ordered the 12 oz. It was pretty good, you can add anything you want on it, there is a lot of options! They even had a peanut bitter topping, so you can imagine! We also ordered the loaded fries. Not bad. Not my absolute favorite, but Im not also not crazy about chili. Good spot though. read more

Growing up, I went to Cheeburger Cheeburger every year., and I used to love it. Unfortunately, it's definitely gone downhill. The service was great, but the food was subpar at best. The good: Milkshakes were fabulous. Perfectly blended so they were sippable but still had chunks. I had an Oreo milkshake and loved it. My friend had the Reese's milkshake and also loved it. The "Best of Both" basket with fries and onion rings was also great! Fries were perfect. Highly recommend pairing the basket with the Cheeburger signature sauce. The bad: The burgers were nothing special. I did a simple build-your-own burger, and it was not good. The lettuce was brown, the tomatoes weren't ripe and overall, it was blah. Not sure I would ever get a burger there again, which is very sad. read more

What terrible service. They got our orders wrong and then told us we ordered it wrong. They forgot two of the milkshakes and when asked twice about them said they were working on it. However they weren't. One of them was at the register and one was sweeping. The lady sweeping came over and finished the milkshakes without ever washing her hands in between. The food is so overpriced. More than 5$ for a milkshake that is a size small in comparison to anyplace else you'd go. I had a chocolate shake that tasted like weak chocolate water. My husband asked for a cup of water and they gave him an empty cup and told him to go to the fountain station. There is no water at the station so he had to get it from the bathroom. The onion rings were so greasy. The fries are the only reason they got a two star rating because they are pretty good. The hotdog was so sloppy and all the toppings are extra. By the time you add chili and cheese it's a 10$ hotdog. It's been years since I've been to this restaurant and I can tell you they've gone from a sit down nice trendy restaurant to a semi-fast food don't want to be bothered overpriced poor restaurant. Will never be back. Staff were rude on top of it. read more

It was well after lunch time but we were anxious to get to Sanibel Island so didn't stop to eat until we arrived and ended up stopping here. The name really describes the majority of food offerings -- hamburgers or cheeseburgers. However, there are a few other items on the menu but not many. Milkshakes are pretty popular and just about every flavor you could think of is available. After we were seated, we waited quite a little bit for our server to approach the table. The other couple we were with were sharing a salad, cheeseburger and fries. The salad was brought with only one fork so they also shared the fork. The angus cheeseburgers and fries were excellent. It's a good old fashioned burger with any topping you desire. We all tasted the coleslaw and none of us liked it. It was very different and we never would have known it was coleslaw had we not been told. We had quite a wait again to get the server back to our table with the bill and then quite another wait getting her back to process our payment. We would return even though the service wasn't great. We just wouldn't order the coleslaw. read more
