Made Restaurant

Due to the location on the corner I havent heard many people that have visited this location. Though most dont know that you can park in the garage around the corner off Ringling and take the elevator down for easy access!
Of the things that I have heard about Made one of the rave reviews was for the burger. I dont mess with burgers when eating out much because I fear that I could miss out on something amazing for a mere burger. Then again everyone is always on the search for the perfect burger so I thought I should seize the moment and kick it off with something simple. I didnt just go for any burger I figured there was no other option than the flagship "Made Burger".  To make a long story short they FRIGGIN' NAILED IT! Imagine the perfect burger, with the perfect about of pork barbacoa, peppers, onions, and pepper jack cheese. Now place that on top of a fried green tomato inside of a buttery toasted bun (please note that the bun was toasted on the outside instead of the inside). This caused the sweet salty and buttery flavors to hit the tongue and then become followed up by the savory fillings. I had to finish this burger with a fork and knife in disbelief. Not because I was a sloppy mess but because I had to dissect it and taste everything layer by layer just to ensure that this was real. It was! Im ending this review on that note. I will pass up talking about my new found love for their malt mayo that came with the tots. I hate mayo and avoid most dishes that use mayo but I quit caring soon after one bite.

Don't sleep on MADE!

This restaurant was amazing! You must eat here. If you like the fake food of a Chillis or Applebee's this is NOT the place for you!
This food is authentic, fresh, adventurous and delicious!
If you are even skeptical that they don't have anything you'd 'like' on the menu, even their Caesar salad and Rib dish was amazing. That was what my grandmother ordered because she was afraid she wouldn't care for anything else on the menu. The appetizer sized ribs was enough to constitute a satisfying and tasty meal for her. I split the Mahi with my mother. It was new to the menu with an amazing pairing of a crab and conch salsa on top and a parsnip purée on the bottom, which was really akin to a cauliflower purée or the taste of a very light mashed potato.
This place is brand new but already with a stellar menu and super friendly wait staff I certainly see great things to come for this establishment... If only people would stop dining at such corporate horrible food spots! (Stop eating at Applebee's, Ruby Tuesdays and Olive Garden!! Ugh)

We've been here twice now and both times we've been pretty stoked. I think the reviews are pretty accurate so far. I've had the burger and tots and the bacon wrapped corn dogs. It's always been an eating adventure in a good way. I think some folks might avoid this place because it seems fancier than it is perhaps-but I'd dive in and give it a try. The burger is definitely one that I'd have again with my only complaint that it is a little too big and my girlfriend and I could probably comfortably split the thing and be satisfied especially with the tots-which I find to be utterly amazing. I kinda wish they had more beers but both times they had unusual selections so it's definitely a quality over quantity scenario.
