Bev’s Better Burgers

Went here a week ago while on a small motorcycle trip through the countryside. Always a great place to go for lunch when all you want is a quick sandwich! A couple of cheeseburgers all the way and an order of fries and I was a happy person!
The service is always polite here, though you have deal with the cars waiting in line for their orders if you are sitting down under the awning to eat. I always take the food home so that I can eat it in peace.

Don’t waste your time here! We ordered 2 burgers and it took 40 mins!!! I saw 10 – 15 cars come threw the drive thru after I placed my order. Even after we wanted that long they gave us the wrong order. I will never come back to this dump that’s infested with flies

Cool little burger joint with great food. I was in and out of the drive through in 5 minutes, even though it was wrapped around the block.

Not impressed, first time eating here. I would
Suggest a thorough inspection from the health department, unprofessional staff. However, if you want a good case of IBS, go there. Fries were hot and crispy, yay!

Burgers are very bland and I really don’t see why people say they’re so good. Nothing special, pretty sure it’s all about the hype. Sort of overpriced for what you get. Even though they may be from scratch there isn’t anything great about the burgers. Won’t be returning.

I love small town gems like Bev’s! I’m ecstatic that this place is located only a few minutes from where I work!
The menu is super simple and everything is under $ 10. The burgers are so good! Not only are they addicting, they taste very fresh and are not like the burgers you eat at fast food restaurants. I will say that they are greasy lol. I really like the sweet potato fries, the perfect balance of salty and sweet. Their food is always hot and fresh. Want your sweet tea fix? Bev’s has the best sweet tea! It’s so sweet (obviously they put a lot of sugar) but I like my tea sweeter than most.
I’ve never had a problem with their customer service, but I have noticed that that they do change employees frequently. I would recommend not going around lunch time since the line for the drive through and out front can go on for miles. They have a small kitchen staff so when it’s crowded, don’t expect to get your food quickly. Definitely give them a try if you find yourself in Alachua!

Bev’s sits in a relic of drive thru restaurants of the past. A single block building with picnic out door seating corraled by a a drive thru line that creates a horse shoe around the building. It’s not much to look at, but its hard to trust a fancy burger joint.
The menu is basic burgers, with or without cheese, fish, chicken, ham, turkey burger, or hot dogs can all be ordered. Fries, onion rings, and corn nuggets are just a few of the side options. Too complete the burger experience they offer Pepsi products, and milk shakes to boot!
I chose the traditional route. A double burger with cheese and bacon all the way with fries and a chocolate milk shake. We waited a little bit, but I don’t mind waiting for a fresh burger. I always start with the fries first so I have them while they are hot. They were stick fries, golden on the outside with a light crunch, and the center was pillowy potato goodness. The burger had two above average patties with a hint of a burnt edge to add a crunch. A monster slice of tomato, swipe of mayo, shredded iceberg lettuce, crisp bacon, and melty cheese rounded it out. The only criticism I could find is that it could have used a little more mayo since it came out a little dry.
I saved the best for last. The shake was phenomenal, thick, and chocolaty. When I was getting close to the bottom I discovered a trove of delicious thick chocolate syrup. I even saw a few customers walk off with soft serve. Will defiantly have to come back to try that.
Bev’s hit all the right notes. Throwback building, fresh made burger, solid fries, and a great shake and ice cream selection. Overall, Bevs’s did not suck.

As Bevs has hands down the best burgers around their customer service SUCKS. Rudest women I have ever come across who handle my food. Don’t expect a «how are you» not even a «hello» you order your food and they throw your change at you without a «thank you».

Was visiting some friends on a trip to see the Gator’s this past weekend. It was one of the best BLT sandwiches I’ve had! Looking forward to my next trip down here to have some more.

My favorite burger is the double double! Great local burger joint that has been there a long time. A must try is you are burger addict like my self. Corn nuggets are great also.

Fun local burger joint! She had a line wrapped around the bldg. worth the wait for a good burger. Tasted homemade. fries good wish they would have been hotter. Quick service and friendly service. Love to support local!!! Love Main Street too.

I discovered Bev’s about 2 months ago and I am IN LOVE WITH THEIR BURGERS. The meat taste fresh and beefy, not like a frozen patty. The flavors are good. The fixins are always crisp and fresh. Unsweet tea is available and GOOD. I also eat my burgers bunless and Bev’s will serve it this way.
Definitely looking forward to my next DOUBLE DOUBLE w/​BACON, MAYO, KETCHUP AND TOMATOES ONLY!
Shout out to Pauline. Always in a good mood and polite!
Until next time!

If I could give a 0 I would. I don’t understand all the good reviews. I went to this joint because I heard good review. I am highly disappointed. first of all, the cashier was curt. when we arrived we were the only customers, so we decided to eat on the patio. after placing our order, 3 cars came thru the drive thru and were served before us. when we finally got our food, my wife took 3 bites out of her fish sandwich and I took 4 bites out of my sad little hamburger and threw it away. the fries were edible, but unseasoned. it was a waste of $ 15. because of poor customer service and low food quality, we won’t be going back. ever…

I heard from others in the area that they have great food so I decided to give it a try. It was pretty good. I just had a burger because I wasn’t wanting to pay $ 7 – 9 just for a combo. The line was forever long… like took forever to get through the line so that was a little discouraging. The burger itself was pretty good. I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve had but far from the worst. I would like to go back but don’t want to spend all afternoon trying to get through the line.

Very good burgers. I would go back.

Killer local burger place. Double bacon cheeseburger was awesome and the milkshakes are great. Cant beat the prices, and serving sizes are good. Every town needs a burger joint like this one.

Bev’s Better (than McD’s) Burgers! Open… whenever!
Ok: I wanted to love this place. Small town burger joint… what’s not to love?!
The burgers are good! To my palate, a little salt would go a long way and the onion had picked up some sort of funky cigarette ash flavor — but that’s being pretentious. (Cigarette ash = smokey flavor!) A bug zapper would be pretty awesome too, but it’s not what you would expect from this kind of place. I’ll withhold a star because the food was, whole-​heartedly, OK.
My beef (get it?): the hours advertised are entirely ‘Bullvine Scatterology’ (punny!!). I went by 6 – 7 different times, different days of the week — it was open once. That’s annoying.
Would I order another chebugga here? Sure, if I’m passing by. But I won’t go out of my way to dodge the flies to hope the place is willing to serve food.

Food is good but service extremely lacking. Last 2 times I visited… or should I say, tried to visit… they were closed early.
Went again today and they closed right after we ordered (45 minutes early). People kept coming up and the employees just ignored them. They shorted someone in the drive thru an order of fries. When he came back they said «sorry our fryers are turned off» and didn’t offer any substitution or refund.

I’ve been a long time Bev’s Better Burgers patron, so I figured it was about time to write up a review. Before you decide to stop into any fast food joint in and around Alachua, make your way to Bev’s for a made to order experience. As the name suggests, the burgers are better than what you’ll get at most fast food shops, but not the best burgers in the world. I appreciate the candidness of the name.
The business itself is a little building with a few outdoor picnic tables under a covering. They have a drive through line, and they do take plastic. As the food is made to order, the wait time is a little more than your average fast food restaurant.
More than the burgers, the sides are what I enjoy the most here. I recommend ordering a few different sides and splitting them between a couple people. And if you’re by yourself I recommend getting a few sides and eating them all by yourself… no one is with you so you can hide your shame at eating so much fried food. Bev’s also serves breakfast, but I’m not as big a fan of it as their lunch. Most of the breakfast items I’ve eaten taste a little under-​seasoned and are on average a bit dry. It’s still a better option than a McDonalds breakfast, but not something worth going out of your way for.
Back to lunch. What you should order in order of importance:
1] Corn Nuggets
2] Fried Okra
3] Small Fry
4] Single with bacon added.
5] Cola
If that isn’t enough, they have shakes and ice cream of which they serve generous portions. This is fastish food the way it should be done.

I also heard that this place had the best burgers in town, so i decided to try it out. Up until an hr ago, there was only two places in the world that could satisfy my burger cravings… my mama’s house and five guys.
A few reasons why this place is better than five guys…
1. Wayyyy cheaper!
2. You don’t pay extra for exra toppings
3. Your fries are packed neatly in their own little «carrying case»
4. Nice friendly country staff
5. Drive thru
6. Waaay cheaper!
Overall, my burger was fresh, service was quick, and my fries and burger were cooked perfectly. Plus, you get to support a local business for once instead of putting your money into multi million dollar chains. Good job Bev!!!
