Gilbert's 17th Street Grill
1821 Cordova Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
(954) 768-8990
Gilbert's, which sits in the corner of the harbor shops in Fort Lauderdale, is a clean, family-run restaurant, with an all-glass façade and plenty of bright-orange tables. It features a big list of nearly a dozen burgers, plus fish, chicken, and steak sandwiches, some grilled entrées, and a daily rotating cadre of lunch specials. The restaurant is partial service, so to order, you queue up along a counter that looks something like a cafeteria line, with big display cases, and order from the register. Ask for a burger -- voted among the best in South Florida by readers of the Sun-Sentinel -- and what you get is a half-pound, all-Angus beef patty grilled to a healthy char and cooked to your liking inside. There are several varieties, like their Cajun spice-rubbed burger with cheddar cheese or one with crumbled blue cheese stuffed inside the patty. Each is served on a tray lined with faux newspaper and finished off by crisp, greaseless fries. You'll pay as much as $15 after drink, tax, and tip, but for those looking for a thick, restaurant-style burger, Gilbert's is a welcome addition.
