Fun, flirty, and flamboyant. If you're wanting a truly, unique burger experience, then this is your place. Upon entering, an Anna Nicole Smith "look-a-like" statuette in fish next stockings will greet you at the door in this modern 50's atmosphere. A fabulously fun place with one-of-kind burgers such as: the Big Kahuna, Buffy... The Hamburger Slayer, Spicy Mary, etc. And, let's not forget their signature burger, "The Proud Mary" a full pound of meaty morsel. They also have a full service bar and a delicious array of "appeteazers."

Drag queens, impersonators, cabernet shows, "Oh, My!" No fear if this scenery isn't your forte, so don't let it get in your way of a great burger. Just come in during the weekday or during light hours while the beauty queens get their beauty rest. They are open as early as 11 am to late in the evenings (past 10pm), Monday to Sunday, and are conveniently located in the heart of downtown on Church St. It's also a great place to catch something to eat after hitting the downtown party scene on the weekends.

If you plan on making Hamburger Mary's an evening event to remember, call ahead of time and set a reservation. Full house on comedy, bingo, and show nights. Two drink minimum on certain event nights.

Great family friendly eatery. Enjoy a 50's retro "Blast from the Past" flashback when you walk into this restaurant from the red vinyl booths, chrome accents, and your own personal jukebox. No need to tell the kids to "Hush up and behave" as singing and dancing are welcomed when staff perform acts throughout the dining experience. Great place for a burger, fries, and hand-dipped shakes. This is a chain restaurant so there are also various locations near the Orlando area such as Winterpark and Pointe Orlando. This eatery chain is also centered in the heart of shopping malls and movie theaters, so its a great place to start off an evening of family fun.
