Burgerfi, Winter Park

I had lunch at this burger joint that opened over the summer on Wednesday. It is near Rollins College on Park Ave across from the 7-11. I had Single Cheeseburger for $4.50 and a Cry and Fries for $5. The burger was pretty good (like 5 Guys quality). It was a tad overcooked. The patty was a little bulbous (press your thumb in the middle like Rachael Ray to flatten it out). It made it appear to be (as Dave Attell quips about penises) "tiny, Tiny" at first glance. It wasn't huge, but, bigger than a McDonald's burger. They gave you a large choice of free toppings. The ones I chose (lettuce, tomato, raw onion and catsup) were fresh. The bun was sweet, fresh, spongy and came branded. The Fry and Cry was an order of fries and onion rings together. The fries were what I like to call "dark meat" fries. They have the skins on them and like dark meat tend to be a little gamey and soft. In fries, they seem to be harder to get crispy than their pale brethren. These were predictably soft. The onion rings (3 large) were crisp. But, I really only have one place where I like the rings - Carl's Jr. These were to cut too thick for me to enjoy. I want more crust to onion. I basically want a Funion. That's me. The menu has variations on burgers, dogs, ice cream/custard, beer and wine. The dogs are a little expensive at $3.50+. They have an interesting kobe beef dog and a chicken apple dog.  They have quinoa, angus, brisket burgers. The booze is marked up three times retail (pretty usual). They have a "secret" menu that is so secret the print it on the back of the take out menu. The place is comfortably hip. They have a video menu. The place is light wood and steel. They have an outside patio (on the sidewalk) decorated with high quality colored, plastic chairs and tables. It was clean. It must seat 100+. There were about 30 people there at 2pm. It was a rainbow coalition. They played music. There is a large fan outside that looks like it came off a B52. The service (you order at the register and they bring it to you) was friendly and prompt. It didn't seem like a tip was expected. I expect it to be a giant hit. It's so close to the college that they can exist on that market alone (until the first fraternity drunken brawl). But, it also will appeal to hipsters and the usual Winter Park crowd. It has sister locations (4) in south Florida. I wouldn't cancel your plans elsewhere to experience it, but, try it at some point if you long for 5 Guys or In and Out Burger. Parking is an issue. Also didn't love the $3 sodas.
