Burger Barn, Sea World Area

I tried this burger joint in a strip mall south of the Central Florida Parkway on International Dr today at lunch. It is near a La Quinta close to Westwood. I had the Southwest burger for $8. While this and a soda and tax ran over $11, it was a good burger. Thin. Nice crust. Well cooked. Good beef. Bibb lettuce leaf, raw white onion, tomato, artisan-ish pickle chips, spicy Thai mustard, pepper jack, guacamole, bacon and sweet bun. The mustard isn't with keeping the theme, but, it was good. I also learned a new fact. Guac on pickle chips is kind of good. The bacon was a bit tough. Crisp. Probably sitting out longer than is good for it. They also are not retards. Placing every condiment and topping on the top of the patty. They put some underneath. Shockingly, the toppings slide around less. Take note very other burger moron in history who has never observed this burger fail. They have six or so specialty burgers (ie mac and cheese cheeseburger) at this price point. I think a basic hamburger was $5.50 and a cheese was a buck more. They also had wings and fries. Fries were around $3.50. Maybe ice cream and chicken sandwiches? They also had cheese fries. Not a big menu. They have been open for 10 months. From Jacksonville. In a mall. Only this location and that. The place is painted black and some kind of red that I think I heard once was called burnt umber. Two decorative barn type doors on one wall. Glass on the front and side. Longish floor plan. Very basic and open. Not much spent on construction. Still looks unfinished. A fence from the entrance to the counter. Serve yourself. Seats around seventy. Around ten people there at 12pm. Not stupendous enough for a destination drive, but, good if you are staying near Sea World or in the area. Much better than 5 Guys. Why the want their one tv to be on a political channel is beyond me.
