As American as apple pies and baseball, the burger is plentiful on the menus of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants. Here, you’ll find ingredients like Conecuh bacon, pineapple, fried eggs, pimento cheese, brioche and pretzel buns, comeback sauce, fried green tomatoes, and did we mention bacon? There’s something to please every palate.
The Fisher Burger from Fisher’s at Orange Beach Marina
There’s something about the slightly sweet yet smoky tomato jam paired with the salty bacon and the oh-so-perfect pimento cheese that makes this American classic gone Southern simply irresistible.
The Whiskey Bacon Burger from FlipDaddy’s
This one has bacon two ways. We could probably stop there, but we’ll elaborate. The burger is topped with American cheese, a sweet and tangy whiskey reduction and the porky goodness of cherry wood bacon strips and crispy bacon bits.
We also tried the FlipDaddy’s Chuck Norris burger which is ideal for those who have the palate for spicy foods.
The Cheeseburger from Pirate’s Cove
The one-third pound Angus beef cheese burger with grilled onions and special sauce is the star of the menu. Well, that and the bushwacker that you should definitely order to pair with your burger. Local legend has it that Pirate’s Cove cheeseburger was the inspiration for local Jimmy Buffet’s famous tune “Cheeseburger in Paradise”.
Bacon, Egg, and Burger from the Hangout
What’s better than a bacon cheeseburger? A bacon cheeseburger topped with a fried egg! The Hangout’s fun, family-friendly environment and open air seating makes this restaurant an experience!
The Burger at The Keg
No crazy toppings on this one, but it’s the classic cheeseburger done right. Known as a local’s bar, The Keg is utterly welcoming to visitors vying for a taste of their famed burger.
Build Your Own Bama Burger from the Flora-Bama Yacht Club
If you’re a control freak know-what-you-want kind of person, try building your own burger. Pile it high with cheese, veggies, jalapenos, bacon, mushrooms, gilled onions…it’s the burger done your way.
Brunch Burger from Bill’s by the Beach
This steak house blend beef patty is topped with Conecuh bacon (pause for a happy dance), grilled pineapple, sunny side up egg, plus lettuce, tomato, onion, and comeback sauce. If you had one too many nightcaps last night, this will cure what ails you.
