5 Burger Spots in Pembroke Pines that Locals are Raving About

Pembroke Pines is full of plazas, family restaurants, and chains, but locals know exactly which spots to hit when they want a memorable burger.

These five places keep coming up in South Broward burger conversations.

1. Brimstone Woodfire Grill

At Pembroke Gardens, Brimstone feels like an upscale‑casual spot, and the burgers are one of the menu’s highlights.

The patties are thick and juicy, often wood‑grilled for a slightly smoky flavor, served on toasted brioche with toppings like sharp cheddar, bacon, caramelized onions, and house sauces.

The classic Brimstone burger is a common go‑to, and you can pair it with truffle fries, sweet potato fries, or a salad if you’re pretending to be healthy.

With cocktails and a lively patio, it’s a great “burger but make it a night out” destination.

2. Fuddruckers (Pembroke Pines)

Fuddruckers is a chain, but the Pembroke Pines location is a genuine local favorite, especially for families and nostalgia‑driven burger cravings.

You get a fresh‑grilled patty, choose your bun and cheese, and then hit the toppings bar to load it up exactly how you want: lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, jalapeños, salsa, and more.

The meat is juicy, the buns are baked in‑house, and the fries and onion rings are pure old‑school burger‑joint comfort.

3. Havana 1957 (for the Cuban‑Style Burger)

Known mainly for Cuban food, Havana 1957 has a Cuban‑style burger that Pembroke Pines locals talk about more than you might expect.

It’s typically a seasoned beef patty sometimes blended with chorizo, topped with ham or bacon, Swiss cheese, pickles, and a garlicky or mustard‑based sauce on a toasted bun.

The result is halfway between a burger and a Cuban sandwich, and it hits all the rich, salty, tangy notes you want with a side of yuca fries or plantains.

4. The Pub at Pembroke Pines

This neighborhood sports‑bar style pub does the usual wings and apps, but their burger is what a lot of regulars end up ordering.

The patty is substantial and well‑seasoned, cooked to your preferred temperature, with melty cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on a sturdy bun. You can upgrade with bacon, mushrooms, or jalapeños, and the fries or tots on the side are crisp and plentiful.

It’s not fancy, but it’s the kind of reliable, satisfying burger that keeps people coming back.

5. Village Tavern (Pembroke Pines)

Village Tavern has a broad American menu and a slightly more polished vibe, but the burger definitely doesn’t get phoned in.

The beef is usually high‑quality, cooked with a nice char and a pink center if you want it, and the toppings include sharp cheeses, bacon, sautéed onions, and house sauces.

Served with well‑seasoned fries and a cocktail or glass of wine, it rides the line between casual and a little dressed‑up, making it a popular pick for burger‑centric lunches and low‑key dinners alike.
