Speedy Burger Tavern — Restaurant in Carefree

Where Flavor Goes to Flex

Speedy Burger Tavern is the kind of place that sneaks up on you like a perfect punchline. One minute you’re just grabbing a bite, and the next, you’re planning your next three visits. Their burgers? Criminally good. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and stacked like they’re auditioning for a food magazine cover. The buns are soft but hold their ground like seasoned bouncers, and every topping actually tastes intentional—not just thrown together like an afterthought. Everything is so fresh! Easily the best burger I’ve ever had!

The vibe is warm, buzzy, and dangerously easy to settle into. The bartenders mix drinks like they’re trying to impress their ex, and the happy hour makes you feel like you got away with something. Plus, the patio is dog-friendly, so your four-legged sidekick can bask in the glory too.

This isn’t just a burger joint. It’s a little pocket of joy disguised as a tavern. If heaven has a happy hour, I’m betting it looks a lot like Speedy...

I have had the double burger wia bun and lettuce wrap. Both ways make for a tasty meal. Each time the hamburger was perfectly cooked. The special sauce is really good tasting. I like the onion rings best and get them as a side every time. They are about the best onion rings I have ever eaten. For an appetizer I really enjoy the Queso crab nachos. Such a unique appetizer and really good tasting. It is a big enough portion to share.

The chicken sandwich looks delectable too. I plan on trying it next time.

It is a bit of a drive for us to get to the restaurant but well worth the trip. A most enjoyable meal. And the choices on adult beverages are quite good. I love their draft beers and smoked...

It's a really good burger - fresh, juicy, lots of fixings- for $12 these days, it's a steal. I subbed onion rings, no extra charge! The beer is nice and cold, atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, not stuffy, and the bartenders are friendly without being intrusive. I will absolutely come back. It was exactly what I was looking for. A good burger and a beer with an old friend in a place I could have a real conversation and not feel rushed. Perfect for after a hike or to watch a game. The clientele was chill - nothing...
