Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
It’s amazing how many hidden gems may be found in Florida’s strip malls. Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill in Fort Lauderdale is one of those hidden gems, a small family-run restaurant where the mom operates the counter and the son runs the grill. Aside from burgers, they also provide homemade ribs, wings, soups, salads, and desserts. Gilbert’s specialties, however, are their burgers – “The Hottest” Burger, cooked with handmade spicy sauce and ghost pepper, or the Havarti Bacon Burger, served on a toasted buttered English muffin.

The name of this restaurant may be deceiving, but it is merely an illusion – Kopp’s can undoubtedly provide you with the tastiest burgers in Wisconsin.

Their menu is extensive, with burgers, toppings, sundaes, flavors, and beverages to pick from, and their Jumbo Cheeseburger is one of their most memorable offerings.
