This place is a local gem, and I can't believe I haven't tried it sooner!
In short, the burgers here are unbelievable. I got the burger with caramelized onion & goat cheese, and it's probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. My boyfriend got the Brie burger, and he said the same.
The owner came around and personally talked to the tables while we were there, which was an awesome touch.
Do yourself a favor and check this place out. We haven't stopped talking about it.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Candace P.MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, FL80615Mar 14, 2024
This is a casual place that popped up on my Yelp map. We were searching for a dinner place away from the beach that wasn't swarming with the college kids for Spring Break.
This is the Angus Beef Crumbled Bleu Cheese Stuffed Burger. It was delicious; fries were above average.
Order was ready pretty quick. Service was great. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 13, 2024
Excellent place! We were visiting Ft Lauderdale when we came here. Looked like it was a nice little burger joint when we walked in. Order at the register and they bring your food out. But the service I feel made it feel like more than just a nice little burger joint. The staff kept coming to the table to make sure everything was going okay. The food came out so smoothly, just the only thing is I asked for my burger to be medium well and I think it was medium or medium rare. It's ok I still ate it lol. It was delicious, regardless.
They don't have a kids menu and the food is a little pricey ($60 for 2 with dessert). But everything was awesome.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Steve W.North Richland Hills, TX1315061May 17, 2024
We were staying at the Embassy Suites prior to our cruise and wanted to eat something other than from the Hotel restaurant. It's literally a 4 minute walk.
Wife order a cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection. The fresh cut fries complimented the well seasoned burger. I ordered the mahi mahi sandwich with sweet potato fries. Chef suggested to go blackened and add mushrooms. What a great recommendation. Service was wonderfully and would highly recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 18, 2024
A mellow burger spot is always what's good in just that many ways especially when they are doing it right!
So coming here was kinda a random thing as we wanted to go to the beach on the way home and this was the bookmark that was right in our path so we stopped and what we found was some yummy burgers!
Of the many options I went with the Dominican burger it was very yummy and kinda unique as it had a thick cut piece of salami on it along with a fried egg to add that much more zest to it like it just hit the spot for the time being in that burger type of way!
Overall this was a mellow little spot with some nice people working here if I lived in the area I'm sure I'd be back to try what else is just that good!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Mar 19, 2024
Probably the best tasting burger I've had. I called and ordered over the phone . Regular cheeseburger with all the fixings. The flavor of the burger was incredible and cooked perfectly. Next time trying other Burger selections

Gilbert's isn't a typical place I would give a five-star review, but they earned it. We actually went on our way to the airport, finishing out our vacation. We certainly chose the right place.
When we entered, we were greeted by the owner, who explained their history and their philosophy. It was a very interesting story. I'll leave you to hear if you visit. Let's say they care about everyone who visits and treat you like royalty.
They have a very nice menu with lots of options. They are known for their burgers, but I had so many in Florida that I decided to try something else. After looking for a few minutes and asking some questions, I decided on a half-rack of ribs.
We sat outdoors. It's funny that we were the only ones outside since it was beautiful outside. You order at the counter and they serve you at your seat. I ordered a half-rack of ribs, which came with a few options of sides. Feeling unadventurous, I asked for fries.
While I typically prefer smoked ribs, they do partially smoke them. I like that the meat didn't simply fall off the bones. It was served in their barbeque sauce. I traditionally don't have sauce with ribs, but the sauce worked well with the ribs. All in all, I was quite satisfied with my lunch.
Gilberts is a "must try" on my list. We plan on going back the same time next year. We fully expect to visit again.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0 - Nathan P.Sandy Springs, GA01May 26, 2024

We had just arrived in Florida, and after getting our vehicle, we wanted a quick bite to eat. After looking at Yelp, this place came up, and the reviews were great, so we thought we'd give it a try.
I'm certainly glad we did. The burgers are amazing. I had the Cajun burger, which was drenched in Frank's hot sauce. It had a good kick to it, but what really made the burger was the quality of the beef. It was cooked to perfection and juicy.
The food did take a while to arrive, but the service was good. The runner was apologetic, and when it was ready, he got the order out to us promptly.
The atmosphere is a sort of sports bar, tvs playing espn and random games. Very cool and relaxed. Good for families.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 26, 2023Updated review
A Family-owned and run restaurant. The restaurant is cute with an outdoor seating option. It is a casual place. As you enter they have the specials on a board to the right. Right next to it, they have the menus. Someone was there helping and answering my questions. He directed me to the cashier where I placed my order and paid. He gave me a ticket to display on the table of my choosing. Later on, they brought me my order.
Voted the best burger in South Florida and I am having a grilled Mahi sandwich lol. Only because I had a burger yesterday. I liked the Mahi sandwich it was good. It came with really good fries. I got a mixture of sweet potato and regular. They should also be known for their fries. They are gooood.
The restaurant is located in a big plaza. With plenty of parking all around. The staff is very nice. The service was great and the food was good.Helpful 24Thanks 1Love this 15Oh no 0Oct 13, 2017Previous reviewI had the brie burger. It was a good moist burger lightly seasoned with bacon and crispy onions. I hardly tasted the cheese and the bacon flavors they were somehow lost. I dont think brie as a cheese choice was a good idea for this burger. I also had French fries. I asked for crispy fries. They were not, the were a little soggy. The place is nicely decorated and the jazz music playing was a nice touch . I will probably be back to try a different type of burger because I did like the place. But This burger was not for me.
The service was good too. They have a person that brings silverware and your meal to your table. That was nice.
They had what seemed to be really good desserts counter. The cookies looked delisious, big, chunkey and chocolatey.
