5 Sunrise Restaurants that Locals Swear Have the Best Hamburgers

Sunrise is mall central (Sawgrass!), but between all the chains there are some very real burger spots that locals lean on.

1. BurgerFi (Sawgrass area)

Yes, it’s a chain—but in Sunrise, a lot of locals genuinely rank it high.

Angus beef, nicely seared patties, great buns, and topping combos like truffle aioli, bacon, and fried onions. Their “Conflicted Burger” (beef + veggie patty) and “CEO Burger” get plenty of love.

2. Rob’s Bageland & Grill

Primarily a bagel/deli spot, but the grill side serves a solid, old‑school burger.

Griddled patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a toasted bun, with fries or onion rings. It’s very diner‑classic, the kind of burger regulars tack onto a breakfast/lunch habit.

3. Flanigan’s Seafood Bar & Grill (Sunrise)

South Florida institution with a cult burger following.

Thick, juicy burgers with cheese, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and big, soft buns. Pair with curly fries and one of their massive drinks—very game‑day and casual‑night‑out energy.

4. Quarterdeck (nearby Plantation/Sunrise area)

Another local chain whose burgers absolutely count.

Char‑grilled patties with classic toppings, plus options like avocado, pepper jack, and chipotle mayo. Great with a beer and some wings on the side.

5. Grand Lux Cafe (Sawgrass Mills)

Mall‑adjacent but better than it sounds.

More of a “restaurant burger”: thick patty, brioche bun, cheese, bacon, and well‑seasoned fries. It’s a go‑to “everyone can find something, but I’m ordering the burger” type place.
