I've been there a few times for some family events and was pretty satisfied with the food. But my son sent me a picture of a burger that he enjoyed there and suggested that I stop by and sample one.
Michelle and I popped over the same night that the Miami Heat was playing and there were tons of people standing in line at Duffy's across the parking lot. Gilbert's was very busy also but we were still able to get in and order pretty quickly.
When you enter you go to a counter and place your order which is prepared and then delivered to your table. Our order taker introduced himself as a member of the Gilbert family and said "nobody takes better care of you than family." I was already quite impressed and when I asked "what is the best hamburger to order," he replied with no hesitation, "the brie burger, with bacon and fried onions."
I added an order of fries and Michelle ordered a jumbo kosher hot dog with fries and a couple of self serve fountain drinks. Michelle thought her hot dog was average but complained to me about the fries. She thought they were too greasy and a little "rubbery."
My hamburger was amazing! Cooked perfectly with all the components piled on top. I thoroughly enjoyed it and vowed to be back soon.
If you are in the mood for a great burger I highly recommend Gilbert's 17th Street Grill.
