I have been to Bev's many times, as an Alachua resident, and I can assure you that as of the writing of this review, they do, in fact, take credit/debit cards.
I am torn, as to my favorite. Â I do love their burgers, but now that I have had the cheese steak....that's a tough call.
The food does take longer, but well worth the wait. Â It is prepared to order. Â If you want McDonald's or other "fast food", then you will be sorely disappointed, because what you will get...is a meal cooked your way, exactly as you wanted it. Â It's not sitting under a heat lamp, waiting to be sold.
Is it the "Best Burger in Town"....nah. Â It's pretty good, and definitely better than McD's or Wendy's. Â But it is a good burger, if you don't want assembly line food.
"Best Burger in Town." I don't think so. I've been to this joint a few times, which is a few times too many. Some things you should know about the place.
1. The people who work there don't wear gloves when preparing the food. I had a chance to "watch them work" while I was waiting for my food.
2. They don't take credit or debit cards anymore, despite a sign that says they do.
3. It takes a long time to get your food. Be prepared to wait a long, long time.
4. The food is only marginally better than many other standard burger joints, and the service is markedly inferior.
5. If you try to "eat in," which is on the patio, prepared to have pretty much all the drive thru customers served, while you wait. The drive through is pretty slow as what I can tell.
6. The price is awful. I was disappointed in the small portion sizes and lack of good fixins for the amount I paid for it. With the amount I paid, I could make twice to three times the amount of burgers with high quality angus beef.
Bottom line- If you go there, prepared to be underwhelmed.
Not that I've had many burgers in High Springs... but "Best Burger in Town" is what everyone says.
If you're craving a big greasy burger, this is the place to go. The fries are delicious, the burgers are scrumptious, but be forewarned, this is a local joint. And they LOOK local, in fact you can drive right by and never notice them.
Expect to pay the typical burger joint prices - about $2.50 for a regular burger, and $5 for a more than 1 person can eat double. The onion rings were okay - but they were breaded rather than battered and that's just not our thing. The fries alone really are worth a stop.
A burger shack much in the vein of Mac's on 10th in Gainesville, but they manage to trump Mac's on two counts in my books. Â
1) They take charge cards.
2) They have breakfasts.
Number two may not seem like much to you. Â But consider that the primary options here in Alachua are the omnipresent McDonalds, Waffle House, and Brown's, where I refuse to eat now. Â Then consider that their version of the sausage egg mcmuffin actually has a savory seasoned patty and an egg straight from the griddle. Â In other words, food that was cooked on the spot just for you. Â Mmm. Â Their burgers and fries are also excellent. Â
I do not recommend waiting for your food in the covered patio area unless you want all your stereotypes about small towns in the South confirmed.
I had been wanting to try this place for a long time. Sometimes there is nothing like a good burger and Bev's won't let you down if you have that craving. It's a greasy burger joint and nearly perfect. The cheeseburger all the way (mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion) was awesome. The burgers are cooked to order, so it's hot when you get it. I wished I had ordered the large fries, because they were hot and good. Nothing fancy, everything is wrapped in paper and stuffed in a paper bag.
