Burger & Shake III — Restaurant in Gainesville

Ok let’s start with the good. The fries were excellent. Zaxbys fries are my fave “fast food” fries and these were so were so close to taking that spot. Crispy, fresh and they have shakers of seasoning salt.

Chili dog was good- bun was fresh, soft and had a little toast to it. Chili was ok- nothing outstanding. It wasn’t the best chili dog I’ve ever had or the worst.

Now the bad part- sweet baby Jesus, the owners need to hire a Gainesville local or ask someone to come in and teach them how to make slaw and sweet tea.

The slaw was terrible. I can’t even describe what it tasted like. Poor quality cheap mayo??? And the sweet tea was either old or again cheap tea.

I paid close to $12 for 2 dogs, fries and a tea. Will I be back- yes, I definitely want to try their burgers. But I’m not in a rush and will check off other places on my list before I...

Just ate lunch here and I can’t say enough good about it . The owner is obsessively clean , and cleans the mustard and ketchup bottles after each customer . The food is cooked to order , and is fresh and piping hot . They have some dishes like Korean dumplings that I bet are incredible, but I have simple tastes and got a double cheeseburger and a chili dog . Both right up there with the best I’ve ever eaten . I saw someone say this was on the expensive side , I couldn’t disagree more . My double cheeseburger, fries and coke was $9.99 and the closest comparable burger would be 5 Guys and that would cost you over $20 at 5 Guys . Honestly , I think the burger is better than 5 guys , the burger seems hand patted , and the chili dog is a good wiener , great chili and a toasted bun . Seriously , you won’t find a better , cheaper...

Eating at Burger and Shake III reminds me of the quintessential 50s hamburger joint. The burgers are simple grilled burgers served with crinkle-cut fries, but they’re oh so delicious! If you happen to come in when they’re not busy, grab a booth and watch the parade of people who come through. They have a ton of other entrees listed on the chalkboard menus, too. Other favorites are the slaw dog and the Philly, but there’s also a fish dinner and Korean dumplings—they’re a favorite to-go item. The shakes are thick, creamy and come in a couple dozen flavors, including malt. Don’t get me wrong, if you go in there expecting a half-pound steakhouse burger with fancy toppings, you will be disappointed. If you’re looking for an old-fashioned burger (big appetites will probably need 2), this is definitely a place you’ll want...
