It is fun that you can choose the size of your burger and that they offer some exotic meats. The open bar for burger toppings also makes the Fuddrucker experience a little bit different from your typical burger joint. The burgers themselves are greasy, but I have to say quite tasty! Unfortunately, that's really the best I can come up with. I have now gone through the "Fuddrucker experience" a couple of times and tried a few variations, but this time I decided it just isn't good enough when there are so many other options out there.
The buns are not note-worthy in any way, and the same can be said of the swiss or cheddar cheese if you choose these as additional toppings. But at least these are not bad toppings, which cannot be said for the blue cheese or grilled onion toppings. They add something to the blue cheese (I imagine to save on cost), but it makes it look & taste grainy. And those grilled onions (sometimes called caramelized onions) are, well, not grilled. When you grill an onion, the sugars caramelized and give it a wonderful sweetness that makes them special, and these are tasteless. I suspect they boil the onions, and then just mix them with some grease.
We have tried every side dish, and except for the mozzarella sticks, they are soggy & greasy & gross. And now they have gotten rid of the mozzarella sticks. If you must order a side dish, ask for it extra crispy, which will help a lot. But even then, when you eat the onion rings it will feel more like you are just eating fried batter more than anything else.
I have always found the restaurant clean, and the staff very nice. But it's a restaurant, and the reason you go is for the food. Or, in this case, the reason you don't go.
Finding it: It is in the same shopping center area as Target, on the south side of Flamingo. Look for the traffic light closest to Target, head south, and you will see Fuddrucker's almost in front of you, toward the right.
