Best Burger in the Palm Beaches 🍔

After consuming way too many calories, the results are in! Keep in mind that this is entirely subjective, but I stand by every bite.

I was honestly surprised by some of the burgers I tried. I went into every location without telling anyone why I was there. I figured if they knew why I was there, they'd try extra hard to impress. I wanted to see what an average customer would actually get. 

I was actually disappointed with a few of the burgers, especially Brass Rings in North Palm Beach. It was the spot with the most votes, so I had high hopes, but it ended up being the worst burger I tried.

The patty was over cooked and dry, even though I asked for medium rare. The tomato and onion slices were way too thick, and the worst part was the fact that the lettuce was 3 times the size of the burger. They do have some really good wings, but the burger seriously let me down. 

Now, the Best Burger in the Palm Beaches? Hands down, Tropical Smokehouse. It was so damn good. I added lettuce and tomato since it normally comes without them, and everything was perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. I actually ended up going back the very next day with some friends.

It might not be the prettiest picture, but trust me it was delicious!

Adoptable Pets

This week, we’re featuring three adoptable pets! First up is Luna, a beautiful 2 year old Shepard/Husky mix who loves being outdoors and would make a great companion for anyone with an active lifestyle. Next is Allie, a sweet young lady who enjoys cuddling up next to you whenever she gets the chance. 

And for the first time ever, we’re featuring a bunny! Meet Bunilla Ice, a cute male rabbit who is patiently waiting to find his forever home.
