5 Plantation, Florida Restaurants that Locals Swear Have the Best Hamburgers

Plantation is packed with chains, but there are a few local and regional favorites that do burgers way better than they have to.

These are the spots Plantation folks keep recommending.

1. Smokey Bones (Plantation)

Yes, it’s a BBQ spot—but the burger menu is no joke.

You’ll find thick, smoky patties with BBQ themes: burgers topped with pulled pork or brisket, cheddar, crispy onions, and house BBQ sauce.

Even the simpler cheeseburgers benefit from that grilled‑meat expertise. If you like your burger big, saucy, and borderline ridiculous, this is your move.

2. Plantation Diner

Old‑school, super casual, and packed during breakfast and lunch.

The burgers here are classic diner style: flat‑top grilled patties with crispy edges, American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on a soft bun.

Nothing fancy—just that nostalgic, greasy‑spoon flavor locals crave. Grab one with fries or onion rings and a milkshake or soda and you’re set.

3. Bokampers Sports Bar & Grill

Sports bar on the water (at the edge of Plantation/Davie area) that locals use for everything from watching the game to a casual burger night.

Burgers are big, juicy, and loaded—bacon, avocado, fried eggs, mushrooms, and more. Their build‑your‑own options plus specialty stacks get a lot of love, and the patio on a nice evening makes the whole thing feel like a mini stay‑cation.

4. Miami Subs Grill / Miami Grill (Plantation)

Technically a regional chain, but plenty of locals swear their burgers punch way above “fast casual.”

Expect a char‑grilled flavor, melty cheese, and a soft sesame bun.

The patty melts and double cheeseburgers are the ones people talk about—the kind you grab late at night or on the way home from the beach and remember later because it just hit the spot.

5. BurgerFi (nearby locations)

Cleaner, more modern fast‑casual, but genuinely solid burgers if you want something quick.

Their double cheeseburgers with American, special sauce, and pickles lean into the “better fast food” lane.

Crispy fries, good onion rings, and shakes don’t hurt. It’s a favorite for families and anyone looking for a reliable, non‑drive‑thru burger.
