The 2022 Burger Issue: Over The Top Burgers

(COURTESY RAGLAN ROAD)

RAGLAN ROAD

1640 Buena Vista Dr., Orlando, FL 32830

Before Disney Springs, there was Downtown Disney, Downtown Disney Westside, and Pleasure Island. And sitting in the middle of this entertainment mecca was Raglan Road. Nearly twenty years later, Raglan Road continues to bring Irish hospitality and a bit of blarney to Disney Springs. The restaurant’s interior was built in Dublin by Irish craftspeople using Irish materials and is filled with Irish furniture, fittings, antiques, and art. It’s also filled with Irish chefs, barmen, servers, musicians, dancers, bands, food, drink, stories, banter, song, and laughter. And you’ll be filled to the brim with sheer happiness when you bite into their OMG Burger. This dry-aged prime short rib and brisket beef burger is piled high with Irish bacon, Dubliner Irish cheddar, crispy potato straws, and Jameson Irish whiskey BBQ sauce. You’ll have a good craic at Raglan Road with a juicy burger and plenty of beers on tap.

Next door to Raglan Road is Cookes of Dublin, offering quick counter-service options with the same Irish flare. Three burgers are offered at Cookes. The BBQ Dream Burger features Jameson Irish whiskey and onion rings, while the Dubliner Burger is paired with house-made ketchup, garlic mayonnaise, and mixed greens. But for an over-the-top experience, try the Cookes Classic Battered Burger. This hand-battered (take that idea in for a moment) sirloin burger is served with garlic mayonnaise, Cookes gourmet ketchup, and mixed greens. It’s an experience for your tastebuds and tummy.

If you’re looking for burger variety, look no further; Teak offers 37 signature, handcrafted burgers, 19 of which are located on a super-secret menu. Teak boasts two locations in Central Florida, MetroWest, and Maitland, near the City Center.
