The Burger Trail
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Day 1
Lunch: The Cove Bar and Grill
Start your Beach Burger Trail at The Cove Bar and Grill in Gulf Shores with their hand pattied burger. This one-of-a-kind burger is made from lean Hereford or Angus ground beef comes with lettuce, tomato, sliced onion and dill pickles. They also offer an array of additional toppings including bacon, fried egg, sautéed onions, fried jalapenos and fried green tomato.
Dinner: Barometer Tiki and Raw Bar at Sportsman Marina
Finish day one of your burger trail relaxing with one of the best views in town at Barometer Tiki and Raw Bar at Sportsman Marina. The Tiki Bar is an open-air watering hole overlooking Terry Cove near Sportsman Marina in Orange Beach and serves a legendary burger. This delicious burger is dressed with all the classics - cheese, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and Heinz 57. Served with a side of steak fries, this one is mouth-watering.
Day 2
Lunch: Sunliner Diner
Day two of the burger trail starts at Sunliner Diner in Gulf Shores. Known for its retro-atmosphere and classic breakfast offerings, this spot also serves up a can’t-miss burger. The Jukebox burger features a stack of three griddled burger patties, bacon, fried green tomato, onion ring, fried egg, and fried pickles. It's topped with American, Swiss, and cheddar cheese and creole hollandaise on a buttered brioche bun. That's not all that comes with this impressive butter! If you order it, you get to pick a song to play on the jukebox.
Dinner: OSO at Bear Point Harbor
End your second day with a burger and a view at OSO’s in Orange Beach. This waterfront restaurant's signature burger, the OSO hatch burger, comes with two patties topped with American cheese, bacon, hatch chili salsa, Cajun fried onions, arugula, tomatoes and a house pickle, all on a grilled bun. It’s OSO good!
Day 3
Lunch: Woodside
Burgers and BBQ is the ultimate combination, and at Woodside, you can have them both. Located in Gulf State Park, Woodside serves up good eats all day, but their burgers are out of this world. We suggest trying the BBQ pork double burger. This whopping burger comes with two patties, pulled pork, BBQ sauce and crispy onions, all on a brioche bun. You're sure to be stuffed and satisfied once you've finished it.
Dinner: Bleus Burger
Day three ends with dinner at Bleus Burger in Gulf Shores. This spot offers several gourmet burger options that can be made with beef, chicken or even a house-made vegan patty. A favorite among locals and guests is the Highway 61. This specialty burger comes with smoked cheddar, baby arugula, applewood smoked bacon, candied jalapenos, fried onions and house barbeque sauce.
