First up, Freddy's is opening on Lockwood Ridge & University Parkway, in the parking lot of Detweilers in the old KFC building. The building was mostly knocked down and completely renovated. Their signs are up, and they are finishing up construction inside. There's already a location on SR-70 & I-75 on the Northwest side in the Lowes parking lot. Delicious burgers, too!

Next, Culvers is opening a few more locations. One on SR-64 & I-75 in front of Wal-Mart. Construction just began. There is another new location that is open now on University & Tuttle area.

Last but not least, Burger & Beer Joint is opening up, finally, at University Town Center on the back side across from Kona. Their soft opening is this week, and their grand opening is April 22nd. If you like craft beers they'll have a lot there. This is their first Sarasota location.

Awesome. There's always a burger in my system somewhere. Freddy's is looking good. Still hard to beat 5 Guys though, IMO.

I love 5 Guys, I just hate the location and their prices annoy me.

Ben, there is a Culvers under construction in front of Walmart at Highway 70 and I-75. Is there one at 64 also?

I'm so sorry, yes, it is SR-70/I-75, and not SR-64.

Yes, good news. I was thinking to myself a few days ago - we don't have enough burger joints around here.

Has anyone tried Freddy's? We've been there a few times but no more. The burgers are essentially burnt grease patties. I thought we just got unlucky the first couple of times but after the third, I decided that was it.

I've never had a bad burger at Freddy's. Maybe it's just the style burger you didnt care for? I dont know! I <3 them.

Have you been going to the one on 70? I have to say they taste good but every one of them looked like what I can only describe as a burned fat patty.

Yup! That is the only one I've been to, I dont know of any other locations close by. It's delicious.

Culvers, on the other hand, I dont care for at all, but my wife enjoys them.
