When you think of this particular restaurant/dive bar/hidden gem in Florida, you probably wouldn’t expect to find the most delicious burgers in the state tucked away inside. Being the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall joint, see what makes the burgers at this staple such an award-winning, palate-pleasing meal.
Keg South in Florida is probably the most quintessential dive bar you would expect to find, however, there is one little secret they’ve been holding onto.
The burger from Keg South has become somewhat of a marvel throughout the years, with even owner Laurel Labuzan revealing that the magic must come from somewhere within their grill.
The burger itself isn’t anything extraordinary in build—it’s a flame-broiled 3/4 pound patty topped with a choice of cheese, possibly bacon, lettuce and tomato—that’s it.
But there is something about the Keg Burger that has grown somewhat of a cult following in this historic dive bar, making it a simple specialty that goes a long way.
Have you ever been to Keg South before for the burger? We’d love to hear your thoughts! There are a few locations for Keg South in Florida that have opened throughout the years, but the oldest and perhaps our favorite, is located at 27591 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL 33032. Keg South is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
